ATCHISON, Kan. (AP) ? Officials in the northeast Kansas town of Atchison are preparing to update the media on a grain elevator explosion that killed at least three workers.
With smoke continuing to billow from the top of the grain elevator Sunday morning, police were keeping people at least a quarter-mile away from the facility. City Manager Trey Cocking was scheduled to give a briefing to the media at 8:30 a.m. CDT at the entrance of the site.
Besides the three workers confirmed dead, three other people were reported missing following the Saturday night explosion that shot a fireball so high it could be seen in neighboring Missouri. Two victims were admitted to the hospital with severe burns, but it wasn't immediately clear if they were among the dead.

How Nokia can make a comeback in the U.S.: 7 theories (The Week)
New York ? Ten years ago, half of U.S. cellphone users had a Nokia, but now iPhones and Androids rule. What must Nokia do to succeed in the smartphone age?
Nokia once dominated the U.S. mobile phone market, with a 50 percent market share. But that was a decade ago. Today, it has less than 7 percent of the U.S. market, and most of its phones are lower-end models. Now, Nokia is hoping to make a comeback. On Wednesday, it announced two Windows Phone-powered smartphones ? its first "legitimate forays into the modern smartphone space." While Nokia's Lumia 800 and 710 phones won't be available in the U.S. until next year ? they're first launching in Europe and Asia ? there's already talk that this could be the start of a comeback. How can Nokia rise again? Here are seven theories:
1. Offer something truly unique
Nokia needs to "focus on design" and "be very, very different," says Mike Isaac at Wired. It shouldn't even try to compete with the beautifully designed clean modernism of the iPhone, or the boring "techie sytlings" of Android offerings. With its polycarbonate casing in whimsical, "candy-coated" colors, the Lumia is a good start.?
2. Stick with Windows Phone over Android
Going with Microsoft's "underdog" operating system is a "bet the company" move, but it could pay off, says analyst Ross Rubin, as quoted at Wired. Consumers, carriers, and businesses just might be looking for "a strong global alternative to iOS and Android." Instead of "trying to out-iPhone Apple, or out-Android the host of Android handsets," says the article's author, Mike Isaac, Nokia and Microsoft are "looking to become a healthy, respectable David to the smartphone industry's two Goliaths."
3. Attract app developers by offering them visibility
The Windows Phone has around 30,000 apps, compared to the Android's 300,000 and the iPhone's half million. "What's Nokia to do?" asks Isaac. It needs to entice developers with the prospect of discovery. Countless apps go unnoticed in the Apple App store, but with the Windows Phone, up-and-coming app developers can be a big fish in a small pond.
4. Patch things up with carriers
First and foremost, Nokia needs to mend fences with AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile USA, says Eric Zeman at InformationWeek. Nokia insisted on making its phones its own way instead of responding to requests from the carriers, and as a result they aren't selling many Nokia phones. The company should heed that lesson. "Without U.S. network operator support, Nokia isn't going to gain any traction."
5. Give customers want they want
Rather than design phones specifically for the U.S. market, Nokia has typically just modified its European and Asian phones, says Zeman. That has often meant that features Americans wanted got dropped. Nokia needs to design phones specifically for the U.S., with features cellphone users here need, like mobile hotspot support and expandable memory. Americans also want user-facing cameras for video chat and fast, dual-core processors ? both of which the new Lumia is lacking.?
6. Go after people who don't own smartphones
Sure, Apple and Android are way ahead in the smartphone market, but only 40 percent of wireless subscribers own a smartphone, says Marguerite Reardon at CNET. Nokia can succeed by targeting the 60 percent who are looking for a simple, easy-to-use smartphone, which Andriod certainly isn't. Nokia has a shot at these late adopters, many of whom value the Microsoft brand and associate it with their friendly Windows desktop.
7. Marketing, marketing, marketing
Many Americans have forgotten Nokia, and that's a problem, say Zeman. The company is planning a big advertising and promotion campaign to get some of its U.S. mindshare back. It is also setting up partnerships with retailers. Nokia "is going all-out to make sure its Windows Phone 7 smartphones are successful," and it has to. "If Nokia can't make its new smartphones a hit with buyers, both it and Microsoft will be in a lot of trouble."

FDA ties newer birth control drugs to blood clots
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Safety concerns with the popular birth control pill Yaz increased Thursday as federal health scientists reported that the Bayer drug and other newer birth control treatments appear to increase the risk of dangerous blood clots more than older medications.
A new study released by the Food and Drug Administration reviewed the medical history of more than 800,000 U.S. women taking different forms of birth control between 2001 and 2007. On average, woman taking Yaz had a 75 percent greater chance of experiencing a blood clot than women taking older birth control drugs.
Yaz contains estrogen along with a next-generation synthetic hormone called drospirenone, which is known to increase potassium levels in the blood. FDA compared medical records of women taking the drug with those taking the older drug levonorgestrel.
Yaz, Yasmin and related drospirenone-containing pills were Bayer's second-best-selling franchise last year at $1.6 billion in global sales.
In 2009, the FDA took the unusual step of ordering Bayer to run corrective TV advertisements on Yaz, saying the drugmaker's marketing campaign overstated the drugs' ability to prevent acne and premenstrual syndrome.
Bayer Healthcare, a division of the German conglomerate, said it "is currently evaluating this publication and cannot comment at this point in time."
The agency also reported higher complications in women using the Ortho Evra patch from Johnson & Johnson and the Nuvaring vaginal ring from Merck & Co. Inc. Those drugs combine estrogen, which is present in all birth control pills, with two other synthetic hormones launched in the last decade.
The FDA said it hasn't reached a final conclusion on the drugs' safety but will hold a meeting with scientific advisers Dec. 8.
Consumer safety advocates have criticized the agency for approving newer, more expensive birth control drugs when cheaper, generic drugs with established safety records are widely available.
"At a certain point we have to ask why the FDA continues to approve drugs that are less safe and have no benefit compared to drugs already on the market," said Dr. Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Center for Women and Families, a consumer group for women's health issues. "With all these different birth control options, why take the most expensive one that can also kill you?"
Recent studies have reached differing conclusions on the risks of newer birth control pills.
A study published earlier this week involving more than 1 million Danish women found that women taking Yaz and other newer medications had twice the risk of blood clots as women taking the older hormone levonorgestrel. The findings appeared Tuesday in the British Medical Journal.
However, two studies published in 2007, conducted as part of the postmarketing requirements of the FDA or European regulators, did not find any difference in blood clotting between the two comparable groups.
Birth-control pills that contain drospirenone include Bayer's Yaz, Yasmin, Beyaz, Safyral; Sandoz's Syeda and Loryna; as well as Barr Laboratories' Ocella, Watson Pharmaceuticals' Zarah and Teva Pharmaceuticals' Loryna.

Japan's digital divas take to the stage, wow fans (Reuters)
TOKYO (Reuters) ? Japan's two newest stars have all the basics of being a pop idol down. Their dance moves are sharp, they sing without missing a beat, and their songs have made the top 10.
The only thing is, neither one of them exists.
The green-haired "Megpoid" and red-haired "Akikoloid" are both completely computer generated, the latest in a line of popular digital characters based on a voice-synthesizing program that allows users to create their own music.
They were the stars of a concert during the recent Digital Concept Expo in Tokyo.
Music made by "Vocaloid," the voice-synthesizing program, and its spin-off characters, has made it into the top 10 on Japan's weekly top hits list. But for those watching the concert, the performance was nothing more than thin air -- unless they looked at the screen showing the augmented reality (AR) scene with the 3D characters inserted into live video.
The software used at the concert used a complicated system of sensors and motion capture technology to create the two singers, with sensors around the venue and on the cameras and the hands of two human back dancers interacting to make a composite that was inserted into the concert in real time.
Nothing about the singers is real. Even their high, perky voices are digitally generated, but sound no different from those of many a live Japanese pop singer.
"Though there have been a few concerts with the characters before, this is the first time they could interact with others, including the audience, and appear to move around in a true 3D space," said Masaru Ishikawa, a Tokyo University researcher who helped create the system used for the concert.
"These sorts of concerts up to now have looked 3D but were actually using 2D technology. This is a world first in that the character is actually 3D and can sing and dance with others," he said.
Fans were able to get in on the action by using poles with markers that allowed them to be detected by the augmented reality system and interact with the characters by waving the poles around during the concert. Depending on the song, these movements produced stars, sparkles and flames in the video.
"Seeing the concert with augmented reality made it seem like they were really there, even though they weren't," 24-year-old fan Keisuke Shindo said after watching the hour-long concert.
"It was also interesting to see how they added the effects and allowed the audience to interact using the poles. I think it's pretty amazing."
In addition to the 150 fans at the actual concert, more than 65,000 people watched on Nico Nico Douga, a Japanese video-sharing site similar to YouTube.

US insists operation in Africa a limited mission (AP)
WASHINGTON ? Obama administration officials insist the U.S. military operation against a ruthless guerrilla group in central Africa is a limited deployment with the specific goal of ending the threat of the Lord's Resistance Army.
Officials from the State and Defense departments on Tuesday faced skeptical members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Republicans and Democrats generally backed President Barack Obama's decision to send 100 troops as advisers in the battle against the group and its leader, Joseph Kony. But they worried about an open-ended commitment that could involve more American forces.
The officials said the Lord's Resistance Army is weakened but Kony and top commanders remain at large and continue ordering the group's members to commit atrocities.
Officials said the goal is to capture or kill Kony and his commanders.

Inside Jeff Foster's investing empire | The Basketball Jones | Blogs ...
People always say to me, ?Hey man, what is up with Jeff Foster?s investment strategies? How much money does he save? Where does he invest? The guy looks like he?d have a firm grasp on financial dealings ? he does have hair like a personal banker at a small suburban bank, after all ? so if you ever catch wind of what he?s doing, let me know.? Unfortunately, I?ve never had that information.
Until now. Finally, for all you fans of NBA investments, here?s a rough breakdown of Jeff Foster?s portfolio, courtesy of Bloomberg BusinessWeek:
Foster now considers himself fortunate for having learned an early lesson. By the time he signed his second deal with the Pacers in 2002?six years for $30?million?he had become a much more conservative investor. Today, while he still actively buys and sells stocks, only 13?percent of his portfolio is invested in the stock market. Although Foster and his advisers declined to provide the exact amount of his savings, they did provide a breakdown, by percentage, of his portfolio. The biggest portion?33?percent?is in fixed income, largely municipal bonds. Eleven percent is invested in managed real estate?apartment buildings and student housing that provide Foster with monthly income and tax breaks without the headache of personally overseeing properties and tenants. Eight percent is allotted to private equity; 7?percent is in private investments that aren?t supervised by True Capital Management.
Foster keeps 28?percent of his savings in cash. He says he normally has 5?percent to 10?percent of his portfolio in cash, ?but I?m scared of the market now, though I think at some point there?s going to be an opportunity to invest and get a great return.?
There you go, Foster Financial Forum members. It?s a simple 33-28-13-11-8-7 plan that gets less aggressive as Jeff Foster gets older. Anyone who?s taken a microeconomics course will tell you that?s the way to go.
Oh, and now that that financial stuff is out of the way, here?s a little savings tip from your favorite Foster.
?My biggest luxury expense is that I like to travel,? Foster says. ?Given my size, when first class is affordable, I buy it. But we just flew coach back and forth to Texas with the kids, and I just put up the armrests and lay across the seats.?
That?s how you do it. That?s how you save money during a lockout. Get on some empty flights, put up the armrests and enjoy your snooze cruise. If you can get an exit row seat, even better. No use wasting money on first class, since those beds aren?t that comfortable anyway, especially if you?re seven feet tall.
Jeff Foster just proves that you don?t necessarily have to go broke if you?re an NBA player. Sure, it happens a lot, but if you have a team of advisers and are willing to be educated on how to save your money, you can live comfortably and get a write-up on a business website. That?s almost as cool as a murdered out Maybach. Pretty much the same thing.

Transfers to fuel Cyclones in 2011-12 (AP)
AMES, Iowa ? Iowa State is set to pose a fascinating question to the rest of college basketball.
Can a team made up almost entirely of transfers win anything?
Their starting backcourt features players from Marquette, Michigan State and Penn State, and their top post player, Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year Royce White, was once a Golden Gopher.
This is all part of a grand experiment by second-year coach Fred Hoiberg, who is as homegrown as they come.
Hoiberg has adopted an unorthodox rebuilding strategy the league will be keeping a close eye on as he welcomes guards Chris Allen and Chris Babb and forwards White and Anthony Booker, who all sat out last year. Iowa State, which finished 16-16 in 2010-11, opens against Lehigh on Nov. 12.
"I can't even explain to you how excited I am to get this season under way," Hoiberg said. "There's been a lot of excitement about this team, with getting the four guys that sat out, getting those guys eligible. Very excited to have those guys on board."
On paper, Iowa State's got enough talent to make a serious move in the Big 12.
The three-man backcourt is made up of players who've already proven themselves on the major college level.
Allen, the former Spartan, has played in as many NCAA tournament games as Iowa State has in nearly 20 years ? and he's got something to prove both to his new team and NBA scouts in his final college season.
Babb, who averaged 9.3 points a game for Penn State in 2009-10, is also expected to start. Junior college star Tyrus McGee, who hit nearly 50 percent of his 3-point shots a year ago, should be the first guard off the bench.
The ringleader will be senior Scott Christopherson, who transferred from Marquette to play for former coach Greg McDermott and averaged a career-high 13.7 points a game in 2010-11.
The Cyclones have a lot to sort out with all the new faces
"I talk to our guys all the time, just about having that chemistry," Hoiberg said. "It doesn't matter how talented you are. If you don't have chemistry, you're not going to achieve your goals. I understand where certain people have questions about this team. I still have questions about this team."
White has already been hailed as the Big 12's best newcomer by the league's coaches without ever playing a game in college. The 6-foot-8, 270-pound White, who spent a lost season at Minnesota, is one of the strongest players the program's ever had, and Hoiberg said he's never seen someone as big as White pass as well as he can.
Melvin Ejim, who along with Christopherson is the only starter back from last year's team, must figure out how to thrive once league play begins. Ejim's Big 12 slump was symptomatic of Iowa State's struggles as the depth-challenged Cyclones stumbled to a 3-13 mark.
White and Ejim should have help from freshman Percy Gibson and Booker, who transferred from Southern Illinois.
"We will get up and down. We'll take a lot of threes again this year. But we will have more options on the block," Hoiberg said. "We'll have some options this year."
Iowa State was picked to finish eighth in the 10-team Big 12 this season, an understandable slot for a team few can put their fingers on.
The Cyclones could finish first and they could finish last, though somewhere in the middle seems about right.
Either way, Iowa State figures to be one of the league's most interesting teams.
"I'm excited about the expectations. We had zero expectations last season," Hoiberg said. "Expectations are high, and that's what we want. We want to be in a position where we're competing for a Big 12 championship."

PHILADELHPIA (AP) ? Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger left Philadelphia's game against Toronto after taking a high stick to the face.
Pronger and Toronto's Mikhail Grabovski sprinted for a loose puck in the circle after a rebound off Flyers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on Monday night. Grabovski slapped at the puck, but his stick connected with Pronger's stick and the blade shot straight up into the defenseman's face.
Pronger screamed in agony and instantly clutched his face. Hunched over, he skated straight to the bench, his hands over his eyes, and went to the dressing room with 8:02 left in the first period.
The Flyers had no other update except that Pronger wouldn't return.

U.S. pulls ambassador out of Syria (Politico)
Amid escalating protests in Syria after Muammar Qadfafi?s death, the United States pulled Ambassador Robert Ford out of Syria over the weekend due to concerns for his personal safety and accused the government of incitement against him, the State Department said Monday.
?Ambassador Robert Ford was brought back to Washington as a result of credible threats against his personal safety in Syria,? State Department Deputy Spokesperson Mark Toner said in a statement.
Continue Reading?At this point, we can?t say when he will return to Syria. It will depend on our assessment of Syrian regime-led incitement and the security situation on the ground. We hope that the Syrian regime will end its incitement campaign against Ambassador Ford,? Toner added.
The withdrawal of the American ambassador, which according to Reuters occurred over the weekend, comes during the seventh month of an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
Demonstrations in Syria escalated over the weekend after the death of Libyan dictator Muammar Qadhafi.
?Gadhafi is gone, and you?re next, oh butcher,? Syrian protesters chanted Friday in protests, according to the AP, adding, ?Your turn is coming, Bashar.?
Assad has responded to demonstrations against his government with violence, leading to an increasingly hostile American response. The weekend?s demonstrations led to the deaths of 24 people nationwide, according to activists.
The decision to yank Ford comes after multiple incidents in which the ambassador and the U.S. embassy were attacked and harassed.
In late September, Ford was pelted with tomatoes by Assad supporters as he met with a Syrian opposition leader. About 100 protesters tried to storm the office building where the meeting was being held, but they were prevented from entering.
In August, Ford was harassed by another group of protesters, one of which tried to wrap him in a poster of the Syrian president. Ford?s security team was able to rush the ambassador into a waiting car.|
Ford had also been making surprise and unauthorized visits to areas where anti-Assad opposition is strongest. The ambassador made earlier visits to Jassem and Hama, which have been flashpoints of anti-government sentiment.
The State Department said Monday that they were pleased with Ford?s efforts in Syria.
?Ambassador Ford?s presence is a benefit to our mission in Syria as he has worked diligently to deliver our message and be our eyes on the ground. This decision was based solely on the need to ensure his safety, a matter we take extremely seriously,? said Toner.
The U.S. has aggressively called for the Syrian president to step down, and has tightened sanctions against the Middle Eastern country over the past few months.
?His calls for dialogue and reform have rung hollow while he is imprisoning, torturing and slaughtering his own people,? President Obama said in August. ?For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Assad to step aside.?
Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) suggested on Sunday that the United States should consider a military intervention in Syria.
?Now that military operations in Libya are ending, there will be renewed focus on what practical military operations might be considered to protect civilian lives in Syria,? McCain said at the World Economic Forum in Jordan. ?The Assad regime should not consider that it can get away with mass murder. Qadhafi made that mistake and it cost him everything.?
Speaking just days after the death of Muammar Qadhafi, the Arizona senator said that Bashar al-Assad has ?spilled too much blood to stay in power,? and suggested that the Syrian leader will continue to murder more of his people.
The Obama administration has denounced Assad as having lost his legitimacy but has made no indication of taking military action in Syria by drawing clear distinctions between Libya and Syria.
?I understand the desire to make analogies and comparisons. One thing that we have said from the beginning, this whole year, is that circumstances in each country is different,? White House press secretary Jay Carney said last week. ?Every country is different, and I think we have been absolutely clear about our position with regards to Syria, with regard to the Syrian regime.?

Public display of fallen leaders' bodies a tradition
Karim Kadim / AP
Two Iraqis watch a TV broadcast on the death of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi Friday in Baghdad, Iraq.
By Robert Windrem, NBC News' senior investigative producer
Some have written that Libya had a "Ceausescu moment" on Thursday, when former dictator Moammar Gadhafi?s body was paraded through the streets of Misrata. But while photos of the corpses of former Romanian Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, were widely distributed after they had were executed on Christmas Day, 1989, their? bodies were quickly buried without any public display.?
Getty Images
But history provides several more-apt comparisons of deceased leaders being publicly dishonored, including:
Najibullah, the one-named, Soviet-backed dictator of Afghanistan, who was holed up at the U.N. compound in Kabul when Taliban soldiers came for him on Sept. ?27, 1996. He had believed, incorrectly, that his presence at the U.N. compound would offer him protection and that the Taliban would not kill him. They did more than that.
The Taliban fighters first castrated him, then broke his fingers. Finally, they dragged him to death behind a truck through the streets of Kabul. After Taliban fighters were persuaded he was dead, his body was hung from a traffic light. His brother, who was with him at the compound, faced a less public fate. He was shot to death.
The body of Saddam Hussein, following his execution on Dec. 30, 2006, (which was recorded on a prison guard's cell phone), was taken from prison and brought to a "viewing party" at an Iraqi government official's home before being buried, according to some published accounts. There was no public parading of the body, but pieces of the hangman's rope were distributed as souvenirs to those present at the hanging.
AP
A poor choice of footwear tripped up former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al Said.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al Said also met an ignominious and pubic end.? After King Faisal II and his family were assassinated at the royal palace on July 14, 1958, Said fled and went into hiding. But he was discovered by supporters of the coup led by two Iraqi colonels as he sought to flee the country disguised as a woman. His fatal mistake: He was wearing men's shoes.? He was shot dead and buried, but his body was disinterred, dragged through the streets of Baghdad, where it was hung up in a public plaza, burned, and mutilated.
The closest comparison to Gadhafi?s end may be that of Benito Mussolini, the Italian Fascist leader who was killed April 28, 1945.?
In the final days of World War II, Mussolini was trying to escape to Spain through Switzerland, where his Fascist ally, Francisco Franco of Spain, had a plane waiting for him.???
Topical Press Agency / Getty Images
Italian dictactor Benito Mussolini is shown wearing ministerial garb in a 1926 file photo.
Mussolini and an entourage, including his mistress, Carla Petacci, were moving along the shoreline of Lake Como toward the border when they were stopped by partisans who recognized "Il Duce" even though he was dressed in a German military uniform.
He was taken to a house where the commander of the Communist partisans told him he was there to rescue him. The partisans put the group on a truck, but after a short ride the commander ordered Mussolini to get off and he was shot twice in the chest and killed.? Shortly afterward, the others, mostly ministers from Mussolini's government, were executed by a firing squad.
The next morning, the bodies of Mussolini, Petacci and the others were trucked south in a moving van to a plaza in Milan, where partisans had recently been publicly executed. After being dumped at 3 a.m., word spread of their arrival. Soon, all were hung upside down on meat hooks from the roof of a gas station, where they were stoned by passing Italians.?
After he was buried in an unmarked grave, Mussolini's body was dug up by loyalists and moved around Italy until authorities recovered it months later.? But it was not buried in the Mussolini family plot for another 10 years.?

U.S. "misery index" rises to highest since 1983 (Reuters)
CHICAGO (Reuters) ? An unofficial gauge of human misery in the United States rose last month to a 28-year high as Americans struggled with rising inflation and high unemployment.
The misery index -- which is simply the sum of the country's inflation and unemployment rates -- rose to 13.0, pushed up by higher price data the government reported on Wednesday.
The data underscores the extent that Americans continue to suffer even two years after a deep recession ended, with a weak economic recovery imperiling President Barack Obama's hopes of winning reelection next year.
Inez Stallworth, an underwriting assistant for a financial services company, recently gave up her car, in part because of rising costs for gasoline and groceries.
"I can't fit it in," said the 27-year-old Chicago resident, who said most of her extended family was getting by "paycheck-to-paycheck."
Consumer prices rose 3.9 percent in the 12 months through September, the fastest pace in three years.
With gasoline prices high, consumers have less to spend on other things. Moreover, a rise in overall prices saps economic growth, which is typically measured in inflation-adjusted terms.
The last time the misery index was at current levels was in 1983. But in 1984 an improving economy probably helped President Ronald Reagan win reelection. This year, the index has risen more than 2 points.

While the misery index rose in September, many economists expect some respite in coming months, driven by softer inflation.
Wednesday's price data showed inflation outside food and energy rose at the slowest pace in six months in September.
Weakness in the jobs markets also accounts for some factors that could push inflation lower in coming months, economists say.
"With households facing weak wage growth and tight budgets, it is difficult to see a sustained, broad-based increase in prices," said Bank of America Merrill Lynch economist Neil Dutta.
He said Wednesday's data showed that businesses' ability to raise prices on clothing, movies and toys was "hitting a wall." Weak incomes also will make it harder for building owners to raise rents, further dampening inflation, Dutta said.
Indeed, inflation could slow to below 2 percent by mid-2012, said Capital Economics economist Paul Ashworth.
But a decline in the misery index declines due to softer inflation might not help Obama's reelection chances much.
"Any lowering of inflation isn't going to have much effect. People are just focused like a laser on unemployment," said independent political analyst Stuart Rothenberg.
Analysts polled by Reuters last week saw the jobless rate -- currently stuck at 9.1 percent -- barely ticking down to 8.9 percent by the end of next year. With the election in November 2012, the expected decline looks unlikely to help Obama's job prospects much.
Harold Archie, a bus driver with the Chicago Transit Authority, knows well the toll that unemployment is taking on Americans. Higher food and gasoline prices have compounded the strain on his finances since his son lost his job. Archie, 57, has been helping him financially.
Archie said his son might have a shot at getting his job back, but with a pay cut: "And he was only making $13 an hour to start with."

Ice cream cone licks tick off religious zealots
JERUSALEM?? A sign at the ice cream parlor may caution men and women not to lick cones in public, but the warning didn't stop Jewish zealots vandalizing the shop in Jerusalem's main ultra-Orthodox neighborhood.

Other businesses in Mea Shearim, including a book store and dress shops, have been damaged in night-time attacks by Sikrikim, a group of some 100 ultra-religious men who want one of the holy city's most tradition-bound quarters to become even more conservative.
"Promiscuity" reads graffiti scrawled in black at the entrance of a clothing shop selling dresses whose lengthy hemline and drab colors have been deemed too racy by the group.
Other stores in the neighborhood, where men wear traditional black garb and women bare little but their face, have had their windows broken, locks glued and foul-smelling liquid smeared on walls.
"They also threw once a bag of excrement inside and smashed our windows three times," said Marlene Samuels, manager of the Or Hachaim bookshop, whose bright lights and large storefront sign stand out among smaller and more dimly lit businesses.
The shop has been attacked more than 10 times since it opened a year and a half ago, Samuels said. The latest assault was last week when one of the store's branches had its locks glued overnight.
Samuels said the shop's owner met with the Sikrikim several times. The store stocks only religious books, but they include volumes published by Orthodox institutions that are Zionist -- anathema to the Sikrikim, who believe a Jewish state can be established only with the coming of the Messiah.
Ancient resistance
Named after a small Jewish group which 2,000 years ago fought against Roman rulers and suspected Jewish collaborators, the modern-day Sikrikim strike at night and some wear masks to hide their identities.
"They use aggressive tactics and they also ask for protection money which involves paying (a religious inspector) coming in and removing the books he deems unfit," Samuels said.
Meir Margalit, a Jerusalem councilman from the secular Israeli Meretz party, voiced concern that the existence of the Sikrikim, although a tiny minority, signified a growing divide among Jews in Israel.
Story: Hamas frees Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in prisoner swap"Society is becoming increasingly extremist. With the Sikrikim particularly, who are religiously motivated and rule out any position but their own, one cannot reckon, only fight them," Margalit said.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews make up about 8 percent of Israel's 7.7 million population. With an average of eight children per family, they are a fast-growing population. Many live below the poverty line and keep to dozens of their own towns and neighborhoods.
Mea Shearim area is small, less than half a square mile, and home to about 30,000 residents considered among the most tight-knit and reclusive of Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jews.
It takes about a minute to walk from Jerusalem's city center to Mea Shearim, but the dozens of synagogues and Hassidic courts dotting its narrow alleyways are a world away from the cafes and bars of downtown Jerusalem.
Sikrikim attacks have also been reported at Beit Shemesh, a mixed secular and religious town with a growing ultra-Orthodox community, about half an hour's drive from Jerusalem. The latest target there has been a religious girls' school.
The Sikrikim who reside near the school object to the way the girls dress. Since the school year began in September they have regularly picketed outside shouting out at the students, most of them younger than 12, that they are promiscuous.
"They claim to be religious but what they do is a crime against God, against the Torah and against humanity," said David Rotenberg, who works at Or Hachaim.
'Utter sacrilege'
Up the road, the Zisalek ice cream parlor has separate entrances for men and women and a sign -- posted at the request of local religious authorities -- asking them to avoid any show of immodesty by licking cones in public.
"They (the Sikrikim) had a real ball with us," said Guy Ammar, one of Zisalek's owners, describing vandalism similar to attacks against other shops in the area.
"But we were not deterred. Residents here told us not to give up and business is going well now."
Sikrikim shun the media and have made no public comment about their activities.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said an investigation was under way following two complaints lodged by Or Hachaim Center but no suspects have yet been arrested.
Some business owners in Mea Shearim said police has been slow to act, reluctant to get involved in what they see as internal disputes among different religious sects of a closed community.
Rosenfeld said that no other businesses have filed formal complaints in recent weeks.
A few minutes walk from Zisalek Ice Cream is the Greentech music shop, where Hassidic music plays in the background and one DVD in a collection of ultra-Orthodox movies is a suspense film about the battles of a rabbi against Christian missionaries.
The Sikrikim "do not like anything that changes the character of the shtetl and the way it was a hundred years ago," a worker in the music store said, using a Yiddish term for the small towns where Eastern European Jews lived before the Holocaust.
Shlomo Kuk, an ultra-Orthodox journalist from Jerusalem, said the Sikrikim shouldn't be seen as representative of devout Jews known as "haredim."
"One thing is certain: they may dress like haredim but what they do is utter sacrilege which blackens the name of the entire haredi community," Kuk said.

Firms urge action on skilled immigrant reform (Reuters)
WASHINGTON/SANTA CLARA, California (Reuters) ? When U.S. restrictions on work permits barred Intel from moving nearly 50 Finnish engineers to the United States this year, the microchip maker reluctantly parked them in a new research center in Finland.
U.S. and multinational firms are chafing at delays and difficulties securing visas that effectively require them to keep high-skilled workers abroad instead of expanding operations in the United States.
"Tech companies like ours follow where the action is and where the talent pools are," said Young Sohn, chief executive of the semiconductor maker Inphi.
That trend puts pressure on President Barack Obama to set aside his plan for a "comprehensive" overhaul of U.S. immigration policies -- at the risk of angering key Hispanic voters -- and fix the system of work permits and green cards for the likes of engineers and programmers.
"America can't afford to let high-skilled immigration reform remain attached to the controversies that surround comprehensive immigration reform more broadly," executives advising Obama on jobs and competitiveness said this week.
"Given the challenges our economy now faces in a global age, we all need to rethink," the chief executives from GE, Boeing, DuPont and other firms said.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce also wants quick action on skilled workers because of Capitol Hill's resistance to the sweeping deal sought by Obama that would address undocumented workers and border security at the same time.
"I'm not sure you can do this whole thing in one great big bunch," Chamber President Thomas Donohue said. "We might have to do it a piece at a time. And this is the piece that we really ought to be able to get done in a big hurry."
'CRITICAL SHORTFALLS'
Even with 9.1 percent of Americans unemployed, there are thousands of vacancies in the U.S. manufacturing sector because the U.S. labor force lacks the engineering, computing and math skills companies need.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the cumbersome process to secure visas for top foreign graduates in the United States contributed to "critical shortfalls" in the software industry as well as electronics, pharmaceuticals and aerospace.
"Turning these students out of the country is, to put it bluntly, about the dumbest thing that we could possibly do," he said. "We cannot afford to keep turning away those with skills that our country needs to grow and to succeed. It is sabotaging our own economy."
The United States caps H-1B skilled worker visas at 65,000 a year and often hits the maximum within months, leaving limited options for top-skilled foreign graduates and experts.
And while it issues more than 1 million permanent residency "green cards" each year, only 15 percent are given for economic reasons to workers and their families, and those are subject to nationality quotas that pinch applicants from big countries.
Intel, whose CEO Paul Otellini is a member of Obama's jobs panel, learned in March that the annual cap had already been met for the permits it needed to move over the 50 engineers who previously had worked for Nokia.
The specialists now work in a new R&D center in Helsinki, but Intel said it would have preferred to have them do their mobile computing research in its U.S. facilities.
"Intel's R&D and manufacturing hub is in the United States. It is important to our business group managers to have the flexibility to move individuals with specialized technical expertise to the U.S. to collaborate with existing Intel teams," Intel's staffing manager Idan Zu-Aretz said.
'TECHNICAL FIX'
Labor unions have expressed concern that companies hire foreign workers because they can do so at a lower salary than Americans would accept.
But proponents of more skills-based immigration say the salary differential is overstated. They say immigrants tend to create jobs because they are twice as likely as U.S.-born people to start their own companies and can help improve access to foreign export markets.
Obama is likely to tread carefully on the issue of foreign workers because of his preoccupation with reducing the U.S. jobless rate as part of his 2012 re-election campaign.
Turning away from his "comprehensive" immigration approach could also alienate the Democrat from Hispanic voters who want to see help for the estimated 11 million undocumented workers and their families now in the United States.
Cecilia Munoz, the top immigration policy official at the White House, said the prospects for immigration reform depended on Republicans in Congress, who supported a comprehensive fix under the Bush administration but have since cooled to it.
"The challenge for anything in the immigration arena, including the broader immigration reform as a whole or any of these individual pieces, is the lack of bipartisan support," she said in a recent interview.
Scott Corley, head of the Compete America alliance of companies that includes Google, Wal-Mart and Cisco, said there was potential for piecemeal action on skilled immigration before the election.
A bill introduced in the House of Representatives to eliminate green card nationality quotas may be able to clear Congress as a first step, Corley said.
"It's a technical fix that we could do today," he said of the bill from Republican Representative Jason Chaffetz.
He added there was possibility of amendments to other pieces of legislation working their way through Congress.
"We do need a comprehensive reform to the system and we do support that, but the truth is it's not going to happen any time soon," he said.

Small Business Lending 'Finally Turning The Corner': PayNet
(By Deborah L. Cohen) - Startup activity is expected to pick up this year and into 2012 as sectors such as amusement and recreation services continue to add new businesses, helping reverse four years of declines.
That's according to new data based on lending activity from PayNet, which also showed the rates of startup activity decreased by 2 percent in 2010 from the year earlier.
"We're finally turning the corner," said William Phelan, the president and founder of Chicago-based PayNet, which tracks loan information from the country's largest small business lenders. "We're starting to see net new startups emerge. Jobs will eventually come from those startups."
PayNet estimates that some 200,000 to 300,000 net new companies will be created this year, as the rate of business failures drops, Phelan said.
The amusement and recreation sectors, which include bars, restaurants, and travel-related services, generated the highest number of new businesses last year.
"People are sick of being down and they're just enjoying themselves more," Phelan said. "That's a natural reaction during a recession."
Startup additions also came from real estate services, including companies to process high numbers of foreclosures, and agricultural services, including those that help U.S. farmers support the ethanol industry and ship more grain overseas to emerging markets, Phelan added.
Sectors with the largest decrease in 2010 startup activity included furniture, home-furnishing stores, insurance agents and brokers, and retail food stores, PayNet data found.

Polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular disease
ScienceDaily (Oct. 14, 2011) ? One in 15 women of childbearing age is diagnosed with a disorder commonly referred to as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The condition is one of the most common causes of women not ovulating and thus causes difficulty in conceiving. Fertility is not the only health consequence these women face, however. PCOS has been associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading killer of women and men alike.
Sarah Berga, MD, former Chair of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Emory University School of Medicine, is a researcher whose work focuses on understanding the impact of metabolic and psychological stresses on the reproductive system and as a cause of infertility, as well as on PCOS. She will provide an overview of her team's work in a presentation entitled, "CVD and PCOS." Her remarks are part of the Physiology of Cardiovascular Disease: Gender Disparities conference, October 12-14 at the University of Mississippi in Jackson. The conference is sponsored by the American Physiological Society with additional support from the American Heart Association.
PCOS and Health
Among the cardinal features of PCOS are a lack of ovulation and a tendency towards weight gain and obesity. No studies have found a link between the syndrome and premature death. Research has, however, shown PCOS is associated with increases in artery-clogging triglycerides (fats) and insulin resistance (IR), which boosts the chances for diabetes, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. "Although we understand that PCOS is a definite risk factor for CVD, we don't know how great of a risk factor PCOS is and thus we need to put the risk in context," says Berga.
Given the ambiguity, there is no universal protocol for treating women with PCOS-related CVD factors, according to Berga. "Some women need intervention based on existing guidelines, either to control their blood sugar to head off diabetes, or reduce their cholesterol to moderate the risk of premature heart disease. For the rest, it's a matter of treating each woman based on their individual needs. We know that PCOS puts these women at risk for CVD-related disease, but we do not yet understand the extent to which it does so."
Does this mean that all women with PCOS should be tested and treated for diabetes? She and others recommend that women with PCOS be periodically screened for diabetes and treated for it if they meet certain formal criteria. However, pharmacological intervention to forestall diabetes has not been endorsed and it has not been established that giving women with PCOS metformin will delay or prevent diabetes.
PCOS -- An Adaptation from Earlier Times?
Women with PCOS don't ovulate on a regular basis in their early years, and yet they tend to have better fertility than other women later in their reproductive years. The reason for this may be that the female body adapted to periods of famine by increasing insulin resistance in order to conserve calories, and extended the period of conception into the future when food might be more abundant. In essence, there is the impression that either oocyte number (the germ cell involved in reproduction) is increased or the rate of loss of oocytes is decreased in women with PCOS.
"PCOS might have been a good thing to have in times of food scarcity because it allowed the window of fertility to be extended and it allowed women to survive and reproduce in low fuel environments. Today we have calories all around us, and yet the body's possible adaptation to another time still remains for some women," according to Berga. "One way to look at PCOS is as a past adaptation gone astray."
PCOS vs. Stress-Sensitivity in Infertility
PCOS is not the only reason women do not ovulate and have difficulty conceiving. Some women are unable to do so as a result of stress sensitivity. Both PCOS and stress-induced reproductive compromise may be rooted in evolutionary circumstances. Stress sensitivity turns off the brain message to the ovaries when the environment is not conducive to gestation and renders the woman anovulatory. "Both PCOS and stress sensitivity are ways to ensure that reproduction is successful. PCOS allows for reproduction in stressful times and stress sensitivity turns off reproduction during adverse conditions," says Dr. Berga.
