Danny Aiello turns his grief into stage fuel (AP)

NEW YORK ? These days, Danny Aiello is pouring his personal tragedy into a national one.

The Academy Award-nominated actor, still reeling from the death last year of his 53-year-old son from pancreatic cancer, has found solace in the strangest of places: Sept. 11, 2001.

The star of such films as "The Godfather, Part II" and "Do the Right Thing" is currently appearing off-Broadway in "The Shoemaker," an emotionally charged play about loss and grieving set on 9/11.

"I've been looking for distractions," the 78-year-old actor says during an interview where he showed flashes of both his tenderness and his frustration. "I've found a vehicle that permits me the opportunity to vent my anger."

His son, stuntman and stunt coordinator Danny Aiello III, died in May 2010. His parents are still shocked by how quickly the disease took him. "My wife won't get out of bed," Aiello says.

In the play, written by Susan Charlotte, Aiello plays an Italian-Jewish cobbler who worries about a young World Trade finance worker who became his customer when she brought in a pair of high heels to be mended.

The shoemaker feels certain she must have just died at ground zero, a loss that reminds him of his strained relationship with his absent daughter, the memory of his long-deceased father and the Holocaust.

It is a wrenching performance, leaving Aiello drenched in his own tears. He says he draws on his memories of the terrible day when he saw the twin towers fall and from the staggering loss of his son.

"I don't know why it happens. I don't bring him up, but he comes up and I'm crying. I'm not fake crying. The tears are coming out," he says. "I don't draw on it. It's just there."

Directed by Antony Marsellis, the two-act drama is being presented at the Acorn Theatre in Midtown, with Alma Cuervo and Lucy DeVito ? daughter of Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman ? in the supporting cast.

Aiello first appeared in the original one-act version of "The Shoemaker" in 2001, which became the movie "A Broken Sole," featuring Margaret Colin and Judith Light. He did the one-act version again last year in New York and encouraged Charlotte to expand it into two acts.

Aiello says his performance is influenced by "Network," the 1976 movie written by Paddy Chayefsky, in which a fictional news anchor, Howard Beale, decides that he is "mad as hell," and that he is "not going to take it anymore!"

"I want to express ? not necessarily in an articulate way, which almost sanitizes the event ? but to scream at the top of my lungs, `I'm mad and I'm not going to take it anymore,'" he says.

Aiello would love to take the play to Broadway and hopes actors across the globe will play the shoemaker, including his friend Harvey Keitel. "An actor's got to be crazy not to want to play this part," he says.

Charlotte isn't sure just anyone can play it, though, citing Aiello's skills at conveying both tremendous power and gut-wrenching vulnerability, evident in films including "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and "Moonstruck."

"There's nobody else who could hit every note of that character ? no body that I can think of," Charlotte says. "From the vulnerability, to the toughness, to the humor. I can't think of an actor who can go to every note and make it so believable."

After "The Shoemaker," Aiello plans to escape into music: He's working on a one-man musical about the gangster Al Capone and has a new CD called "Bridges" coming out in which he teams up with the rapper Hasan to give old songs a hip-hop flavor.

"I hate rap," he says, laughing. "I want to introduce great classic standards to kids who've never heard of them. How do you do it? You attach it to something that's happening now."

The Arm Moves In Wrestling | Recreation & Sports

The arm moves in wrestling include the arm breakers, arm drags, over the shoulder arm drags, arm swings, etc. The arm bar take down is another of the moves in wrestling. The arm bar attacks by forcing the arm of the opponent downward.

The challenger feels the pain in the shoulder area and the assailant then grips the arms extending them lengthwise. The shoulder is eventually forced to the mat. This results in a pin in most cases unless the wrestler can wriggle his/her way out of the hold.

The arm breaker manoeuvres include the slamming of the arms, typically on a section of the opponent?s body where it will cause some pain. Typically, the pin ends with the scissors hold, where the wrestler?s legs, crossed over the challenger?s body, are used to hold his/her shoulders down to the mat.

The various moves, manoeuvres and holds look dangerous in the ring, but the fact is that these wrestling moves are all choreographed, that is, they are just a theatrical show to get your attention. The actors rehearse their scenes long before they step into the ring and are shown how to send ?signals? to end the bout whenever should they want to.

The wrestling holds and slams seem serious on television, simply because the cameras and other distractions divert the attention of the audience. Wrestling is similar to how magicians work. Magicians rehearse their acts before they go on stage. There is always a gimmick or explanation, yet the magician does his act so smoothly and the audience is so distracted, that the magician makes people believe he/she is the real thing.

The arm drags include using brute force, getting the opponent in a hook move, the assailant flips the challenger to the mats. Most of the moves are devised by one or the other wrestler and so it may become a popular move. Some of the older moves include the Gallatin and the Banana Split

The ?over the shoulder? move should be called the ?body slam? since the opponent throws the challenger over his shoulder, slamming him/her down onto the mat. At one time, this wrestling manoeuvre was probably a ?slammer?, but today it is called the shoulder-arm throw move.

The ?wringer; is another of the arm moves in wrestling which is sometimes known as the spin wrist lock hold. This move is often followed by the Irish Thrash moves, mallet locks, and gouges.

Other arm moves include the arm stretches, arm breakers, arm wringer, arm locks, arm bar and arm scissors. While the arm moves are famous in the ring, there are many new moves today that you would never have heard of when wrestling first began in ancient days. The Amityville Horror is one of wrestling?s more modern moves. Although, I haven?t figured out what this move entails, we are about to look at it together.

At present, from what I can see the Amityville Horror is just a way to persuade people to rent or buy the film of the same name. I did see the move listed in the list of wrestling moves, however, as of yet, no information is available about what this move entails. Moves are basically brands made up by the wrestlers, so I?m assuming that the wrestler felt he had devised one of the most horrific moves in wrestling, so he gave it the name the Amityville Horror.

Why is it that some moves get roaring applause? Well, it can start when a wrestler in the ring brings in something new and it becomes his signature, popular final move in his bouts.

Do you have an interest in wrestling? If you want to learn loads about the moves, the stars and the show, visit our website and read wrestling revealed.

Some Don?ts In Business Networking | Tips and Trick about ...

People usually meet in business networking meetings and functions. These functions have a lot to offer those in search of networking and making new contacts and connections. Business events prove to be an effective platform to start new relationship. You cannot make a long lasting and strong relation at a business meeting. The reason is because business events have very distracting environments for the relationships to be built. People meeting with each other and having gossips, food is being served and presentations or something of entertainments is going on in parallel with each other.

So these events do not offer you the best place to have practically personal connection. You just meet other people for some moments and get apart. After the first meeting at these events people tend o follow up the relation and try to be the first to contact the other party. They send personalized follow up messages to show a willingness and pleasure to continue the relation. But it is not necessary that all of them will respond to your follow up messages. All the people are not ready to reciprocate and give the same response in return. There could be any reason behind this. But the thing is, they do not see something of great value in cherishing the relation. So the point is that you should follow up and make certain attempts. But do not try more than three times. Use at least two different tools to send your message to the person. If the person does not respond let the time pass. These kinds of opportunities will come again and again in life. So don?t worry and be positive.

Persistence and determination are said to be the foundation and the winning points in business networking. It is usually said that have patience and be persistent in following up the people after the initial meeting. But a point comes when this persistent and continuous follow up converts in to a reason of irritation and annoyance for the recipient. Put yourself in the other person?s place and jut think of how many times you can bear someone following you up and trying to contact you continuously. Once your follow up becomes the reason of irritation, you created a very wrong image which is impossible to correct now. So do not be stalker and do not be hungry for networking. Getting to know someone takes enough time and people trust only those whom they know. This approach tells integrity and it speaks about patience.

Don?t lie and be genuine. Remember that networking is all about building long lasting relationships. And people build relationship with those people, they trust. So be genuine in stating or reflecting your desired outcomes and your strengths. Don?t lie about yourself. Trust is the pillar on which any relationship stands. So always remember the value of trust in business networking.

Don?t conjecture for a job. Don?t just think of the profits of networking to pay you quickly but also think about the people.

Install An Outdoor Sound System Home Improvement Reviews

Photo: Phoenix2k

Having an outdoor sound system improves the ambiance of your outdoor living space. Music, or sports broadcasts, can make entertaining more fun, while socializing with friends. The key to making this type of project work is to find areas that will protect the system from the rigors of weather, and to place the speakers in areas that will be beneficial for a group.

The primary elements that make up a sound system include:

  • Speakers
  • Main control for the system, including a radio, CD player/tape player, and settings for the sound and speakers
  • Amplifiers or sub-woofers to help boost bass sounds

Most outdoor sound systems can be purchased as a kit that already includes most of these items. For those that don?t, you can easily purchase the pieces you need individually.

It?s important to look for areas where the sound system equipment will be sheltered from the elements to some degree. While the actual components of the system are designed for the outdoors, this usually refers to the housing used to encase the working parts of the system which can withstand weather. Despite insulation, the wiring used to connect everything cannot. Look for places where you can place wires under eaves, lattice work, porches, decking, or any other surface that can protect the wiring involved with the system.

Consulting an electrician before starting the installation process is always wise. If there is faulty wiring in the home or external outlets, this could mean big trouble with outdoor wiring. This is also a good way to be doubly cautious when it comes to water intercepting the wiring, which can be a fire hazard.

When purchasing the wire or cords used for this project, it is important to specify that it will be used for audio. Audio wiring comes with two different feeds used with the same wire, left sound and right sound, so purchasing one roll of wire will suffice for both needs. If audio wire is not purchased, the sound will not transfer to the speakers, and the entire process will be a waste of time.

For this project there are some tools you should have available. The following is a great list to start with, and you can add as you go:

  • Wire cutters and strippers
  • Staple gun
  • Wire connectors
  • Adapters for the controlling unit
  • Mounting brackets or shelving
  • Stationary box to cover the control unit
  • Weatherproof strip cord covers

These are all items that you will use once the installation process begins. It is advisable to also have a level in the case of installing shelving. This will help to ensure that the speakers won?t fall off an uneven surface.

With all outdoor sound systems, instructions are provided to make sure that the setup is done perfectly, and that the desired sound quality is achieved. The instructions will have the exact gauge?of wire that is needed for that specific set of equipment, and suggestions on the best use of the materials. Following the manufacturer instructions will provide optimal results, especially if you stay within guarantee and warranty?specifications.

You have all of tools and materials needed to begin the installation process. The first step is to place the speakers and other accessories in areas that you think would provide the best quality of sound. Place the control unit in a stationary location, and double check that all the equipment is protected from water or away from dangers posed by inclement weather. At this point, the unit will not work because there is no power source, so you will be working on this with the expectation that tweaking will be involved after installation.

Once the system has been placed into the initial area that you desire, it is time to run the wire. This is where having the help of an electrician comes in handy, but it?s not necessary if you have familiarity with electrical systems. Here is a list of steps that can make the process easier:

  • Measure out the length of wire needed. DO NOT fasten the wire by stapling just yet. Just have a rough layout, and always give yourself more than what you think you need.
  • Using the wire stripping end of the cutters, strip away part of the wire, exposing the copper inside.
  • Slip the copper portion of the wire into the hole provided on the back of the speaker, or cap with an adapter that can be snapped into the back of the speaker.
  • When you need more wire from a new spool, simply connect it to the previous piece by using a plastic wire connector. You will need to strip the plastic coating of the two wires, then slip them into the connector and twist. This step, known as splicing wires, is how you?ll join multiple speakers to the same control unit.

Once the wiring is all in place and you?ve turned on the system?and checked the sound, you can begin to fasten the wiring to the protective surfaces. Using a staple gun works great for this process, but make sure to not puncture the wire with the staple or it will short the wire out and make that speaker useless. For the control unit, use an outdoor extension cord, and cover it with an outdoor wire strip. This will protect the cord and prevent tripping.

If you?re looking to avoid the planning and execution set up as described above, there are a choices in wireless sound systems, some of which work with your iPod, to consider. Even though this is an upfront cost, and doesn?t integrate the system into your home, it may be the better choice, depending on your skills with wiring, climate, or house placement.

After all of your hard work is over, ?invite friends over for a ?BBQ. Listen to a baseball game, or have a music-themed party; an 80s night, a disco party, whatever music you love. Enjoy the sounds of summer, and enjoy your outdoor living space even more than before!

Check this video for more detailed instructions as to how to install an outdoor sound system!

Olivia Wilde: I'd Rather "Self-Medicate" With Food Than Cocaine (omg!)

Since her March split with husband of seven years Tao Ruspoli, Cowboys & Aliens star Olivia Wilde has been linked to several of Hollywood's hottest stars (Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake). But in the August issue of Nylon, the 27-year-old actress makes a surprising confession: "Dating is new to me."

PHOTOS: Are these stars better after breakup?

Wilde said it's especially hard in the modern world, where a lot of flirting happens via technology. "I see the whole thing like someone who's been in a coma and I've come out like, 'Wait, people text message? They text love? How do you text about love?'" she asks. "Three Xs and a smiley face? Emoticon? Deal breaker!"

PHOTOS: Hollywood's biggest flirts

That's not Wilde's only dating concern. Since her marriage ended, the actress admits she's packed on a few pounds. "I got a divorce and self-medicated with food," she says. "But I figure that's better than self-medicating with crack cocaine."

Wilde recently spoke to Marie Claire in detail about her marriage to Italian Prince Ruspoli, 35, admitting that "the trauma of the whole thing has been humbling, and for the first time, I'm a little bit wobbly. I'm a case of arrested development, in a way -- from spending your 20s with someone who really loves to take care of you, as my husband did. But I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."

PHOTOS: Stars who married too young

Fortunately, Wilde and her ex remain on good terms. "We're friends; his family is my family. You always have a choice to feel angry and not be friends," she told Marie Claire. "But I can't handle the idea of walking into a room and seeing someone I have bad blood with. I can't keep any negative relationship with anyone."

Highly Ranked Catholic Adoption/Foster Care Agency Serving ...

Posted by Thomas More Society (July 26, 2011 at 4:31 pm)

Today, Catholic Social Services (CSS) of Southern Illinois, affiliated with the Diocese of Belleville, took legal action in Springfield, IL, joining Catholic Charities for the Dioceses of Springfield, Peoria, and Joliet in moving to be added to their lawsuit, filed in June, seeking injunctive relief against efforts by the Illinois Attorney General?s Office and the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS) to halt the Catholic Charities social service agencies from any further participation in Illinois? programs for foster care and adoption.

The four Catholic agencies are also moving to file a further amended & supplemental complaint, charging that the State not only has distorted the meaning of relevant Illinois statutes, including the recently effective ?Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act,? ignoring that Act?s explicit exemption for ?religious practice,? but also violated the Catholic agencies? constitutional rights to due process of law, as guaranteed by Article I, Section 2, of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, by purporting to terminate their rights to contract with the State of Illinois without any substantive basis in Illinois law, and without any reasonable prior notice or opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time or in a meaningful manner. The Catholic agencies are asking the Court for a declaration that they have been and continue to be in full compliance with Illinois law in their foster care and adoption practices, and they seek a permanent injunction against any further action by Illinois government officials to the contrary.

In recent years, the Catholic Charities social service agencies, including CSS of Southern Illinois, have been ranked at or near the top when measured against the performance of all other comparable Illinois agencies. Altogether the four Catholic social service agencies have 2,179 children in placement with foster families, and 1933 families under supervision. Roughly, they serve about a quarter of Illinois? abandoned, abused, and neglected children, achieving the paramount goal of ?permanency? in a remarkable number of cases and proving especially fruitful in recruiting new foster parents willing to care for needy kids.

The Charities? lawsuit contends that state officials have ignored relevant laws protecting religious exercise and religious practice in condemning them for their conscientious objection to processing applications from unmarried couples who cohabit, whether they are same sex or opposite sex couples.

On July 12, Illinois Judge John Schmidt granted the three Illinois Catholic Charities a preliminary injunction, allowing them to continue their service in the best interest of Illinois children and families. At a subsequent hearing before Judge Schmidt on July 18, he ruled that DCFS must allow Catholic Charities to operate as it had before the fiscal year 2011 contract expired on June 30, directing DCFS to refer new cases to the agencies and allowing them to take foster parent applications according to their religious practice and be compensated with state funding for their work.

?In large areas of Southern Illinois outside of the ?metro east? areas we are usually only one of two providers. Within Illinois? ?metro east? area near St. Louis, Catholic Social Services handles about 55% of the home relative referral opportunities,? said Gary Huelsmann, Executive Director of Catholic Social Services of Southern Illinois. ?Eliminating CSS as a provider will disserve the best interest of the many children we serve and will deny vital choices for foster parents and children as to where and by whom they will be served.?

?In June of 2006 the State had 15,917 children in Substitute Care (Foster Care and Group Homes). By June of 2011 it had 15,413 children in care. During the same five year period CSS of Southern Illinois has managed to increase the scope and size of its foster care program by 57%,? said Tom Brejcha of the Thomas More Society, which is representing the charities in the lawsuit. ?Why would the State of Illinois want to go out of its way to inflict this harm on children and families, putting out of business a vital network of charitable social agencies that have achieved the greatest success and growth rate in serving our state?s most precious and valuable assets, our children? And why does it read religious exemptions out of the law??

The fundamentals of Trading Forex

Forex trading may appear to be complicated or difficult to do at first. That?s why people interested to do it most of the time lose interest because they feel it would be too hard to do. The easiest way to understand forex trading is to break it down to the basics. In the simplest terms, forex trading is just trading one currency to another and making a profit off the trade. So mainly, forex trading always deals in pairs of two currencies against each other. You need to take note of the exchange rate and / or quote between the two currencies to be able to trade effectively and make money from the exchange. For instance, let?s use the Euro and US Dollar pair (EUR/USD). If EUR/USD = 1.30, that means that you need $1.30 to buy 1 euro.

Making money from this is simple. If you buy at this rate, then to make money you need to sell at a higher price than when you bought the currency. So, if you bought 10,000 Euros using the quote or exchange rate of EUR/USD 1.30, when the rate changes and becomes 1.40 then you make money and profit when you sell.

Forex trading is naturally a risky investment and can be affected by numerous political and economic events. Predicting a forex trade?s condition is somehow difficult to obtain therefore, this kind of trade serves as an investment of chance and luck. Money management skill should serve as your primary goal as you make way towards good revenues and sales. You have to focus on long term goals thus; you need not be puzzled by different forex financial requirements.

Making money is easy when you have a comprehensive understanding of the business you?re interested in. In order to be successful in making money in forex trading in the long run, you need to have the correct tools and knowledge to make the right profit making decisions for your business. Study the market and currency trends globally. There are a lot of online websites offering tools and information about forex trading and most of these tools and information come free. The best way to be successful and make money in Forex trading is by knowing the market well and having the proper tools to help understand the business better to run the business the best way possible.

You can also find lots of automated forex trading software these days that can help you analyze and even place trades on your behalf without you even at the computer. This type of currency trading software is appropriate for people who are only trading forex part-time and cannot afford to spend a great deal of time monitoring forex trends and charts.

Going public: Strauss-Kahn accuser tries rare path (AP)

NEW YORK ? The hotel housekeeper accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her is telling her story publicly, she says, because she wants the former International Monetary Fund leader behind bars. But it's hard to say whether her striking move will help or hobble her goal.

Nafissatou Diallo's decision to speak out in media interviews is an unusual and risky move for an accuser at this point in a criminal case, legal experts said.

It gives her an empowering chance to tell her side of the story as prosecutors weigh whether to press ahead with the case amid their concerns about her credibility. But it also enshrines a version of events that defense lawyers could mine for discrepancies with her grand jury testimony or use as fodder to argue she was seeking money or public attention.

Whatever the outcome, "it's an extraordinary turn of events, I would say, for her to go on a kind of lobbying, public relations campaign to get this case tried," said Pace Law School professor and former prosecutor Bennett L. Gershman.

After staying silent for nearly two months about an alleged attack that Strauss-Kahn vehemently denies, Diallo gave her account to Newsweek and ABC News.

Adding details and her own voice to the basics authorities have given, Diallo said the former IMF leader grabbed and attacked her "like a crazy man" in his $3,000-a-night Manhattan hotel suite on May 14 as she implored him to stop and feared for her job.

"I push him. I get up. I wanted to scare him. I said, `Look, there is my supervisor right there,'" she told Newsweek in an interview in her lawyer's office. But Strauss-Kahn said no one was there to hear, she said, and he went on to yank up her uniform dress, tear down her pantyhose, forcefully grab her crotch and then grip her head and force her to perform oral sex.

Strauss-Kahn's lawyers on Monday called the interviews "a desperate distraction from the key fact that Ms. Diallo has had to admit to misleading" prosecutors.

The interviews come with the case against Strauss-Kahn in limbo after Manhattan prosecutors raised doubts about the housekeeper's overall credibility. They said on July 1 that she had lied about her life story and gave inconsistent descriptions about what she did right after the alleged attack.

The disclosures prompted her lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, to criticize the district attorney, press prosecutors to keep going with the case and even call for a special prosecutor to take over.

Diallo told her interviewers she wants Strauss-Kahn held accountable, and she was going public to tell a story she said had never wavered, to counter misleading portrayals of her and to address doubts about her trustworthiness.

"I want him to go to jail. I want him to know there are some places you cannot use your power, you cannot use your money," she told Newsweek.

Diallo told ABC she didn't know Strauss-Kahn was a high-profile French politician until later.

"I was watching the news and they said he's going to be the next president of France," she said. "I said, `Oh, my God.' I was crying. `They're going to kill me. I'm going to die.'"

Before Sunday, the 32-year-old Guinean immigrant's name had been reported by some French media outlets but not by major U.S. media, which generally protect the identities of people who say they've been sexually assaulted.

"I never want to be in public, but I have no choice," she said, according to ABC News. "God is my witness I'm telling the truth."

But against the backdrop of uncertainty about her believability and motives, the interviews may raise as many questions as they answer, legal observers said.

"On the one hand, there's an upside that perhaps it will encourage the prosecutors to move forward with their case. On the other hand, there's the risk that whatever she says can be used against her in a civil or criminal case, especially with respect to any inconsistencies," said Sanford Rubenstein, a New York lawyer who has represented victims in noted cases ? and advised them not to give interviews while the case was ongoing, he said. His clients have included Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who was tortured in a New York City police station bathroom in 1997.

Prosecutors generally discourage potential witnesses in criminal cases from speaking outside court while a case is pending, partly to avoid creating multiple accounts that could diverge, even slightly. In a trial, such gaps can become thin edges of a wedge for adversaries to drive doubts about an accuser's veracity into jurors' minds.

"The more that's out there, the more you're susceptible on cross-examination," said Elizabeth Crotty, a defense lawyer and former Manhattan assistant district attorney.

The housekeeper's interviews also could provide an avenue for Strauss-Kahn's lawyers to suggest she was out for publicity or cash, a notion that already has shadowed the case. A day after Strauss-Kahn's arrest, she was recorded alluding to his wealth on a phone call with an incarcerated friend, a law enforcement official has said.

Newsweek said she had not ruled out trying to make some money from her situation, a suggestion that a civil lawsuit could be forthcoming, though she told the magazine, "I don't think about money."

The interviews nonetheless could tempt prosecutors to bow out rather than go forward with the case because "she's already trying it in the court of public opinion," Gershman said.

The DA's office has said its investigation, not external factors, will determine the outcome. Communications chief Erin Duggan said Sunday the investigation was continuing and declined to discuss the case further.

In the interviews, Diallo addresses some of the inconsistencies that already have rocked the case.

She testified to a grand jury that after the alleged attack, she cowered in a hallway and watched Strauss-Kahn leave, then told a supervisor. Prosecutors said earlier this month that she later told them she actually had gone on cleaning rooms before consulting her boss. Diallo told Newsweek she was disoriented and went into the rooms briefly before a supervisor appeared and asked why she was upset, but the maid denied changing her account.

Diallo also lied about her background, including by telling prosecutors an emotional story of being gang-raped in her homeland, they said. She told Newsweek she was raped by two soldiers but acknowledged she had embellished her life story on her 2003 asylum application; prosecutors have said she told them she repeated the lies to them to be consistent.

Strauss-Kahn lawyers Benjamin Brafman and William W. Taylor III rapped Diallo for conducting what they portrayed as a media campaign to pressure prosecutors to pursue Strauss-Kahn as she perhaps plans to sue him. They have said whatever happened in the suite wasn't forced, and they are pressing for the case to be dismissed.

"Nothing can camouflage the lies and misstatements that Ms. Diallo has consistently put forward against an innocent person to law enforcement, friends, medical professionals and members of the media," they said in a statement Monday.

Thompson fired off a statement of his own Sunday, saying Strauss-Kahn's lawyers "have conducted an unprecedented smear campaign against the victim of a violent sexual attack."

The American Bar Association's professional conduct rules tell lawyers not to make public statements out of court that are likely to prejudice the case. But the rules don't apply to their clients and in a heavily covered case like Strauss-Kahn's, it's questionable how much any lawyer's remark "will affect the jury when there's so much publicity already out there," said Ellen Yaroshevsky, a legal ethicist at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.

Abigail Pesta: High School Sweethearts -- or Sex Offenders?

Frank Rodriguez is family man, a husband and father of four daughters. He is also a convicted sex offender. As such, Frank, 34, is prohibited from coaching his children's soccer teams. Neighbors and employers can find him on the sex-offender registry, alongside pedophiles and child pornographers. An iPhone app directs people to his home. MySpace has delisted him. If he moves out of state, he must promptly register with the local police as a sex offender.

All this, for the crime of having slept with his high school sweetheart 15 years ago.

Back then, Frank was 19 years old, a recent high school graduate in the small town of Caldwell, Texas. That's when he first had sex with his girlfriend and future wife, Nikki Prescott. The two had been dating for nearly a year; the sex was consensual. However, the age of consent in Texas is 17, and Nikki was just shy of 16. Frank got arrested. And with that, he became a registered sex offender.

Over the years, Frank and Nikki married each other, and had their four daughters. Still, Frank remained on the registry, his crime listed as "sexual assault of a child."

Frank and Nikki are not alone. Across the country, high school students are increasingly finding themselves caught in the nation's complicated web of sex-offender laws. Teenagers end up on the registry for having consensual sex with an underage partner, as well as for stunts such as streaking or urinating in public, or for sexting -- sending racy self-portraits, which can be considered child pornography.

Now, a growing grassroots movement is trying to help teens who get labeled as sex offenders for sexual behavior that can be technically criminal, but which, activists argue, should fall into a different category. This movement is led, in large part, by women -- mothers who are shocked to find their sons on the registry for having sex with a high school sweetheart. Francie Baldino is among them. She launched Michigan Citizens for Justice after her own teenage son was arrested. Tonia Maloney is another; she started Illinois Voices after her teen son's arrest. Each of the 50 states now has at least one such grassroots group.

America's sex-offender laws have a noble goal: to protect children from predators. But now, these activists argue, mothers are trying to protect their children from the laws.

The laws currently vary widely by state. Five years ago, federal legislation tried to bring some uniformity to the tangle of state laws. The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, also known as the Adam Walsh Act, created minimum standards across the states. However, only seven states have implemented the act to date. A main reason cited is cost: Many states, already struggling to maintain expanding registries, say they can't afford any added administrative costs. The government has said that states that aren't compliant with the act will lose a chunk of federal funding, effective this month.

I recently talked with families embroiled with the registry, including the Rodriguez family. This summer, that family finally caught a break: Thanks to a push from activists, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed a bill that will allow Frank to petition the court to remove his name from the registry. The law goes into effect in September. For Frank, it could mean the end of a frustrating 15-year battle. For other families, their battle has just begun.

You can read more about Nikki, Frank, and the grassroots movement of mothers in Marie Claire.

Bringing coffee shop quality to your kitchen | Food 'n' Drink ...

An Advertorial Feature

Sainsburys coffeeMany of us see ourselves as coffee connoisseurs these days; no longer do we always want to settle for a spoonful of freeze-dried instant granules when we?re in need of a caffeine fix. The boom in High Street coffee shops has led to a growing awareness of the different types of coffee and different ways of making it, from low-fat skinny lattes to supercharged triple espressos or fancy frappuccinos. ?Frothy coffee? is no longer an exotic option available only in Italian cafes with Fifties formica tables, and you don?t have to wait for ages beside a plug-in or stove-top percolator, either.

But can you be a barista in the comfort of your own home? When you?re keen to get going early ? or having a day when you just can?t face getting dressed up to go out for coffee ? can you replicate the taste of the best brews in a domestic kitchen, at a reasonable price?

Different types of machine

One of the cheapest way to enjoy a good cup of coffee is to buy a glass cafetiere with a plunger, or use filters which sit on the top of your cup ? but this limits you to just the one type of filtered coffee. For something stronger, you could try an espresso machine, which mixes the coffee with the water under high pressure; generally speaking, the higher the pressure, the more expensive the machine. The test of a good espresso machine is the ?crema? it produces, which is the rich froth on the top.

Larger and higher-pressure machines may use a pump system with a separate water tank and heater, and can heat the water to higher temperatures. And to make cappuccinos, you?ll need a steamer module as well for the milk. This usually comprises a nozzle to place in a jug of milk, and should allow you to create a frothy foam as well.

To help you choose which type of machine is best for you, you?ll need to decide whether you want to use ready-ground coffee or work from scratch with roasted unground beans, which can give the ultimate taste quality. A beans-to-cup machine will grind the beans as well as make the coffee ? but they?re generally more sophisticated and expensive than a straightforward coffee-maker using grounds.

Some coffee machines use Nespresso-system ?ESE? (?easy servicing espresso?) pods, which are clean and simple to slot in, or capsules. These mean less cleaning-up afterwards, and you won?t need to ?tamp? or compact the dry coffee as this is ready-done. The downside however, is you?re less able to control the strength or adjust the dosage according to your taste. These machines are often installed in offices or shared facilities as they?re well-suited to places where no-one wants to take responsibility for clearing up and disposing of used grounds (which can actually be composted, if you?re a gardener).

Buying into a brand-name

Coffee machines may be a strong style statement in a kitchen, and many come in shiny chrome, bright colours or fashionable retro designs. If money?s no object, then ?600 buys you a Bugatti, or a large professional-level device; ?200-?300 or so buys a high-quality Italian creation from the likes of Gaggia, or De?Longhi , and ?100-?150 is enough for a decent coffee machine from the usual mainstream brand-names in the kitchen appliance world. There are also plenty of good buys for under ?100, including supermarket own-brand machines and the entry-level models from the ?designer? brands. Do your research online to pick out the best and the one most suitable for your needs.

However much you intend to spend ? or end up investing ? you could make your purchase less painful if you buy by credit card. This could be a way to help you spread the cost.

Beat The GMAT Launches MBA Watch, A Social Network For MBAs

In April, 2005, Eric Bahn (a Stanford undergrad at the time) started Beat The Gmat as a blog about his efforts to study for the GMAT. It morphed into a general test-prep site attracting about 2 million student visitors a month. Today, it is launching MBA Watch, which finally gives some teeth to its claim to be the "Social Network For MBAs." MBA Watch tries to pull together all the information about business schools and applicants in one place. MBA hopefuls can follow different schools like Harvard, Stanford, or Wharton (the site launches with 20 top business schools today). It creates the equivalent of a Facebook Wall for each school, pulling in official blog posts, Facebook Fan page updates, and Tweets about the school.

Combining Marketing with email with Other styles of Marketing and ...

Chronic Commissions
Whether you want to can your internet marketing or not online, one thing would not change. The concept which no one marketing strategy will probably be as useful as a mix of two or over marketing strategies. This does not mean it is necessary so you might implement each and every known marketing and advertising strategy to encourage your company but alternatively it implies that it is definitely worthwhile to promote from several different perspectives to help you achieve your company related aims.

Book Review ? The Secrets of Medical Decision Making By Oleg I ...

The techniques of healthcare Decision Making:

How to remain clear of having a Victim of the wellbeing Care Machine

Oleg I. Reznik, M.D.

Loving recovery Press (2006)

1932690174

Everyone needs to read this book. Everyone at some phase in his or her life is going for becoming involved with what Reznik cell phone calls the \?Health Care Machine.\? This book should be read before you mind to your doctor, have any methods done, or make any healthcare decisions.

\?The techniques of healthcare Decision Making\? is not completely about secrets, but instead expresses the concerns the healthcare neighborhood now has about healing patients, and just how those concerns have appear to be less concerning the patient, and way more about anxiety of becoming sued by patients, as effectively as dictated to by pharmaceutical and insurance companies. Patients are generally subjected to very a few unnecessary checks and methods because doctors feel they?ll need to include every one of the bases just in circumstance they are sued. Reznik offers a number of good examples from his own encounters just like a doctor wherever he and his colleagues have had to accomplish checks or methods that had been unnecessary and in some cases, gave patients unneeded added stress or soreness all in the quest for becoming thorough to protect the hospital and the healthcare profession.

Much of \?The techniques of healthcare Decision Making\? is almost preferred sense. Patients have a very duty make utilization of preferred feeling and to help keep their own best pursuits in mind when becoming dealt with by a doctor. In an age wherever surgical procedures are generally outpatient and we?re bombarded with tips about new miracle pills that will resolve problems, patients are given phony expectations that medicine can resolve practically every single wellbeing issue; consequently, patients are completely prepared to sue when one thing goes wrong, when truthfully, they are doing not ask the suitable queries about risks involved with procedures, and doctors do not provide their individual thoughts unless requested because of restrictions imposed upon them by the healthcare and insurance systems.

What I found most interesting about \?The techniques of healthcare Decision Making\? was Reznik?s elaboration at the very a few unnecessary methods and checks given, for instance colon and breast cancer screening. He takes a hard look in the stats medicine uses to suggest that pre-screening can prevent cancer or increase lifespan. Reznik says patients should be way more pro-active in asking their doctors concerning the necessity of very a few checks and just how probable it is they?ll actually keep the disease for which the screening is becoming performed. Patients also will need to trust their own choices because they know their own physiques better than their doctors, in addition they know what will make them most comfortable.

While at times, I found Reznik?s discussion a lttle bit repetitious, I appreciated the summary he positioned in the finish of the book, breaking each of his main factors right into a paragraph with a subtitle so someone can right away refer to it and remember which queries to ask before a mind to with a physician.

\?The techniques of healthcare Decision Making\? is a book everyone will borders from. Patients will need to understand that modern medicine does not keep the cure for everything-in fact, it might cure very little, and therefore, the patient should be largely responsible for his healthcare care and decisions. This book may help the patient have way more control over his remedy and give him useful queries to ask his doctor. I intend to inform everyone i understand in the healthcare professions, as effectively as everyone i understand with wellbeing issues, about this book. Patients will conserve themselves very a few hours of wasted time, money and soreness simply by trading a few hours reading \?The techniques of healthcare Decision Making.\?
