New bragging rights? | FemFusion Fitness

Recently, I passed the tests required to become a:

Certified Healthy Foot Practitioner

and a

I am thrilled to be able to add these endorsements to my resume, and hopefully they will help YOU feel even more confident about my skills and knowledge-base if you follow my YouTube videos or attend my FemFusion group fitness classes.

Just a bit about my new certifications:?

I received my Healthy Foot Practitioner? training through the Restorative?Exercise Institute. The training involves a thorough education of foot?mechanics, how foot function affects whole-body health, and the role of?footwear on foot health and foot pain. If you live in my local area (Kaiserslautern, Germany), watch for a special workshop about these very issues coming up in January or February, 2013!

I received my perinatal fitness training through the Healthy Moms? Advanced Perinatal Fitness?Instructor Training Course. The training includes in-depth education about the physiology and special fitness needs surrounding pregnancy, including pre-conception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

My perinatal fitness training reinforced the importance of exercise and a healthy lifestyle during AND BEFORE pregnancy. Later this week I?ll be posting about pre-conceptual fitness for those of you who may be considering pregnancy in the near future.?

Supreme Court Takes Up DOMA: The 3 Possible Outcomes | TPMDC

In a major case next spring, the Supreme Court will consider whether it?s constitutional for the federal government to refuse to recognize same sex marriage, as multiple lower courts have decreed.

The justices have several options on how to come down in the Windsor v. United States challenge to Section 3 of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal benefits to gay couples that are legally married in their states.

Earlier this week TPM gamed out the potential outcomes on Proposition 8, the other big same sex marriage case the Court decided to hear regarding whether states like California can outlaw gay marriage.

Here?s how legal experts say they might rule in the unrelated DOMA case, which deals with federal law.

1) Strike Down DOMA

The Court could determine that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act violates the Constitution?s guarantee of equal protection for all under the law. In that scenario, gay couples in states like Massachusetts and Maine would begin to receive federal perks for married couples such as retirement and tax benefits.

The reach of such a decision would be important for future gay marriage battles.

?Of course, if they strike it down they could write the opinion narrowly, just about Section 3 of DOMA, or broadly in a way that recognizes a constitutional right to marriage equality,? says Erwin Chemerinsky, a constitutional law professor at UC-Irvine.

2) Uphold DOMA

The majority of justices could find Section 3 of DOMA valid under the Constitution. That would enshrine a status quo where gay married couples in states where same sex marriage is legal are treated differently than their straight counterparts under federal law.

Along with being denied tax and Social Security survivor benefits, gays would continue to not have the ability to sponsor foreign spouses for legal immigration status, as straight married couples are permitted to do.

3) Punt

The Supreme Court could potentially dismiss the case on procedural grounds. The case is unusual in that the Obama administration ? the designated defendant for a federal law ? has refused to vouch for DOMA. House Republicans retained counsel to defend the law. The justices may decide that the case was not properly defended and remand it to the lower courts to try again.

?One possibility is that the Court avoids the DOMA question entirely,? said Adam Winkler, a law professor at UCLA. ?The Court could say that the House committee that?s defending DOMA is not a proper party to the case. Because the Obama administration has refused to defend DOMA, this would mean that the case would be sent back to the lower courts.?

Eventually, however, the case is likely to find its way back to the Supreme Court.

Morgan Stanley Fined $5M Over Facebook Research And Handling Of IPO By Massachusetts

8018111847_1b2aaf9f03_zAccording to CNBC, Morgan Stanley has been fined $5M over its Facebook research practices. This is the second huge fine for Morgan Stanley, the first being over “noncompetitive trades” in June. Facebook’s stock jumped out of the gates and dipped dramatically, and Morgan Stanley filed a report based on its research afterwards, including why it was priced at $38: Our base case scenario assumes that Facebook?s revenue growth moderates as it takes a measured approach to increasing mobile ad load while engagement increasingly shifts to mobile devices. Facebook enters an investment cycle characterized by compressed adjusted operating margins in C2012/13E. Facebook grows total revenue at a +28% CAGR from C2013-16E, while advertising revenue (+31%) grows substantially faster than payments revenue (+17%) due to casual games being played increasingly through mobile devices. We forecast C2013E adjusted EBITDA margin of 60% in this scenario. The state of Massachusetts also fined Citigroup $2M for its involvement in the Facebook IPO. At the time, it was said to be over “violating state securities law when it released confidential information about Facebook Inc.” When the fine was levied, Citgroup’s Sophia Stewart had this to say: We are pleased to have this matter resolved. We take our internal policies and procedures very seriously and have taken the appropriate actions. We have reached out to Morgan Stanley for comment. There has been discussion about Facebook’s eventual $5B IPO for some time, and after the fact, people have been saying that something wasn’t quite on the up and up. For a company that makes $25B in revenue yearly, the $5M fine could be a drop in the bucket financially, but a huge ugly mark on the company’s reputation. The company did make out quite nicely on the Facebook IPO, even though others did not. Facebook’s stock currently sits at $26.60 a share, nearly $12 below its initial offering price. This is developing. [Photo credit: Flickr]

Endangered Tadpoles' Mission: Help Restore Toad Species

Thousands of tadpoles are on a journey from Cleveland to Puerto Rico as part of an effort to save their critically endangered species.

The traveling tadpoles are Puerto Rican crested toads, and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is part of the Species Survival Plan that works to breed the toads and release them back to the wild. The plan is managed by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.

"The Puerto Rican crested toad Species Survival Plan has been very successful," said Lynn Koscielny, the associate curator of animals at the zoo. "Field researchers in Puerto Rico have observed toads with transponders that were released into the wild returning to the protected ponds to reproduce."

The Puerto Rican crested toad is the only native toad on the island and it is threatened by habitat loss and competition from alien invasive species that have been introduced to the island, such as the cane toad.

The zoo already sent a group of toads to Puerto Rico in 2010, according to a zoo release, but the current group of 4,500 tadpoles is much larger.

The tadpoles will be sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Caribbean Refuge in San Juan and then taken to one of three potential release sites along the southern coast of Puerto Rico, which is an unincorporated territory of the United States.

The zoo has to breed the toads under conditions that mimic those they would have in their native environment.

"This involves cooling the toads down to 66 degrees [Fahrenheit (19 degrees Celsius] and then placing them in a rain chamber tank that simulates the rainy season in the toads' native Puerto Rico," the release said. "A sound recording of the male crested toad?s mating call adds to the simulated environment."

No Need to Overexercise - Eating Disorders Blogs

Recently I came across an article on exercise which will help set you straight if you believe you must live at the gym or run marathons to lose weight. Rather than pushing a weight loss focus here, I?m sharing some enlightening and surprising research on exercise and shedding pounds. I?m a firm believer that the primary purpose for activity and exercise should be fitness, good health, and enjoying body movement.

?Less exercise may do more to shed pounds? by Gretchen Reynolds (NY Times, 9/25/12) offers an unexpected take on exercise. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark ?found that exercise does seem to contribute to waist-tightening, provided that the amount of exercise is neither too little nor, more strikingly, too much.? For the study, participants, all male, were discouraged from consciously changing their diets and divided into one control group which didn?t exercise, one which did moderate workouts, and another which engaged in a strenuous exercise routine.

At the end of the 13-week study, there was no difference in the weight of the control group. The surprise outcome was that the men in the strenuous exercise group lost less weight than the ones in the moderate exercise group. Why? Researchers surmise that the difference was due to the fact that the strenuous exercisers consumed more calories than the moderate exercisers and that the strenuous exercises were so fatigued after going through their routines that they then remained relatively inactive the rest of the time. Moreover, the moderate exercisers ?seemed to grow more energized and inspired? to do activities such as ?taking the stairs? and ?just moving around more.?

This is fabulous news for those of you who wish to exercise but can?t make it your life?s work. Although many disregulated eaters have difficulty engaging in routine activity, others switch their ?addiction? from eating to workouts believing, as with food, that more is better. Moreover, many disregulated eaters who wish to become healthier assume that if they can?t do a lot of exercise, it?s not worth doing any and, therefore, don?t bother. Each end of the spectrum highlights all-or-nothing thinking, a hallmark of disregulated eaters, which misses the middle ground of activity which would benefit them the most.

Whether you?re an over-exerciser replacing food with activity as a coping mechanism or an under-exerciser who ends up doing nothing because you can?t do it all, this article?s conclusions should set you straight and give you hope. Take time to consider how much exercise would be enough?just right?for you. Think mid-range, not maximum, and you?ll have a better shot at carrying your exercise plans to fruition.

Best,

Karen

Hope and fear in gay marriage cases at high court

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Gay marriage supporters see 41 reasons to fret over the Supreme Court's decision to take up the case of California's ban on same-sex unions.

While nine states allow same-sex partners to marry, or will soon, 41 states do not. Of those, 30 have written gay marriage bans into their state constitutions.

That fact is worrisome to those who firmly believe there is a constitutional right to marry, regardless of sexual orientation, but who also know that the Supreme Court does not often get too far ahead of the country on hot-button social issues.

"Mindful of history, I can't help but be concerned," said Mary Bonauto, director of the Civil Rights Project at Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders and a leader in the state-by-state push for marriage equality.

Bonauto was speaking before the court decided on Friday to take up cases on California's constitutional ban on gay marriage and a federal law that denies to gay Americans who are legally married the favorable tax treatment and a range of health and pension benefits otherwise available to married couples.

In 2008, California voters approved the ban, Proposition 8, after the state Supreme Court ruled that gay Californians could marry. Since then, a federal appeals court struck down the constitutional provision, but did not authorize the resumption of same-sex marriages pending appeal.

Bonauto identified three earlier seminal rulings that once and for all outlawed state-backed discrimination, and observed that in each case the number of states that still had the discrimination on the books was far smaller.

Thirteen states still had laws against sodomy when the court said in 2003 that states have no right to intrude on the private, personal conduct of people, regardless of sexual orientation.

Interracial marriage still was illegal in 16 states in 1967 before the high court outlawed race-based state marriage bans.

In 1954, when the court issued its landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, 17 states had formally segregated school systems.

Cornell University law professor Michael Dorf said those cases illustrate a widespread misperception about the justices.

"There is a commonly held but inaccurate view that the Supreme Court does is to impose its views on the country. It very rarely does that. Much more frequently, it will take a view that is either a majority in some place or a majority of elite opinion, and speed up acceptance," said Dorf, who was a Supreme Court law clerk to Justice Anthony Kennedy.

The forces that mounted the legal challenge to Proposition 8 have said all along that the right to marry is so fundamental that it should not depend on success at the ballot box or the votes of state legislatures. Washington lawyer Theodore Olson, representing gay Californians who wish to marry, said he will argue that there is a "fundamental constitutional right to marry for all citizens."

But are there five justices, a majority of the court, willing to endorse that argument?

The fear among gay marriage proponents is that the court will refuse to declare that states can no longer define marriage as the union of a man and a woman, because to do so might provoke a backlash in public opinion and undermine acceptance of its authority.

A high court loss for gay marriage advocates would prevent same-sex marriages in the nation's largest state. It would not affect the District of Columbia and the nine states ? Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington ? where gay couples can or soon will be able to marry.

But it could push back the day that many in the gay rights movement, looking at strong support for gay marriage among younger Americans, see as inevitable: the Supreme Court's endorsement of full marriage equality nationwide.

Commenting after the court's action, Bonauto said she believes the court can uphold an appeals court ruling that struck down Proposition 8 in a way that applies to California only and "leave to a later day questions about broader bans on committed same-sex couples marrying."

Opponents of gay marriage look to another court case, Roe v. Wade, that they say should serve as a cautionary tale. In 1973, the court voted 7-2 to declare that the Constitution protects a woman's right to an abortion.

"Should the Supreme Court decide to overturn the marriage laws of 41 states, the ruling would become even more divisive than the court's infamous Roe v. Wade decision," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. "Marriage, unlike abortion laws in the 1970s, has been incorporated into the state constitutions of 30 states. Voters in these states will not accept an activist court redefining our most fundamental social institution."

To a degree, Perkins and Bonauto get some support from one of the nine people with a say in the matter, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

In February, Ginsburg questioned the timing of the abortion decision and suggested it may have contributed to the ongoing bitter debate about abortion.

"It's not that the judgment was wrong, but it moved too far too fast," Ginsburg said at Columbia University.

At the time of Roe v. Wade, abortion was legal on request in four states, allowed under limited circumstances in about 16 others, and outlawed under nearly all circumstances in the other states, including Texas, where the Roe case originated.

The court could have put off dealing with abortion while the state-by-state process evolved, she said. Or her predecessors could have struck down just the Texas law, which allowed abortions only to save a mother's life, without declaring a right to privacy that legalized the procedure nationwide, Ginsburg said.

"The court made a decision that made every abortion law in the country invalid, even the most liberal," Ginsburg said. "We'll never know whether I'm right or wrong ... things might have turned out differently if the court had been more restrained."

New Mayor?s Commission on Unity, Diversity, & Prosperity holds first meeting

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -

It's been more than 10 years since "One Columbus" was created. On Thursday, it was dissolved and merged into a new city commission.

Two dozen members of the now-Mayor's Commission for Unity, Diversity and Prosperity met Thursday morning at the government center. The MLK Jr. Steering Committee will also be part of this new group. Leaders say the renewed mission will be looking at diversity through the prism of poverty...a think tank tackling issues like income disparity and housing.

"These are systemic issues, this is not a 2-year journey, this is a multiple year journey," said new commission chair Jane Nichols, Goodwill CEO.

"Residents living in poverty, with these types of challenges, it affects your business...your workforce...your crime rate...your education," said Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson. ?

"What this committee will do is make sure we have innovative ideas and strategies that possibly have not been used before," said Rev. Johhny H. Flakes III, pastor of 4th St. Missionary Baptist Church. ?

"Bring to light some of our community needs and try to find ways to solve those issues and make for a much more equal and vibrant community," said Terri Parodi, volunteer director for United Way. ?

We will continue partnering with this group for our annual diversity forum, which will be live on WTVM on January 24 from the Rivercenter in downtown Columbus. The one-hour special will be at 8 p.m. on that Thursday night.

Icahn gives up bid for truck maker Oshkosh

(AP) ? Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is giving up his bid to buy truck maker Oshkosh after less than 25 percent of the company's shares were tendered before his offer expired.

Last week Icahn made it clear that he would walk away from his bid if the threshold wasn't met. The tender offer expired on Monday, with about 22 percent of the shares tendered.

Icahn, who is known for buying stakes in struggling companies and then shaking them up with mixed results, had previously maintained that Oshkosh Corp. needs new management and a new strategy.

But he had said that he would "move on to other endeavors" if he did not get at least 25 percent of Oshkosh's shares in the tender offer.

Oshkosh's stock fell 2.8 percent in premarket trading Tuesday.

US, Afghanistan start talks on status of US troops

Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) The United States and Afghanistan are starting negotiations on an agreement that will shape America's military presence in the country after the withdrawal of most foreign combat troops at the end of 2014.

Representatives from the two countries began talks on a bilateral security accord on Thursday in Kabul.

They will grapple with potentially divisive issues about the future U.S. military footprint in Afghanistan and whether U.S. troops can be prosecuted under Afghan law an issue that sank America's security deal with Iraq last year.

After Thursday, the next round is expected in December, although decisions on the most contentious issues could be put off until later.

The lead negotiators are James Warlick, the U.S. deputy special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Eklil Hakimi, Afghanistan's ambassador in Washington.

Nate Silver Turns His Eye To the American League

As a baseball fan, I have read literally dozens of articles and hundreds of message boards rants on this subject. If you're interested, a little wading through Baseball Think Factory [baseballthinkfactory.org] will allow you to relive the endless re-hashings at your leisure. More generally, this sort of statistical talk is very common among a certain segment of baseball fandom, and is (as has been mentioned before) the milieu from which Nate Silver emerged.

What's interesting about this specific issue is that Cabrera vs. Trout has been painted as a traditionalists vs. stat-heads vote, but an argument for Trout can be made with no reference to advance statistics. It goes like this:

Trout's traditional "slash line" (batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage) is very similar to Cabrera's. Cabrera hit for more power, but otherwise they are nearly equal. Trout's home ballpark is harder to hit in than Cabrera's. Trout led the league in stolen bases with 49, Cabrera had 4. Cabrera grounded into 28 double plays, most in the league. Trout grounded into 7. Cabrera is a poor defensive player, Trout is an outstanding defensive player. Trout's team even had a better record than Cabrera's, even though Cabrera's Tigers made the playoffs and Trout's Angels didn't.

Nothing in that argument requires anything more complicated than the division required to work out batting average and the like. The fact that Trout's candidacy has been painted as just the result of statistical mumbo jumbo is ridiculous.

(It should be pointed out that there is a lot of mumbo jumbo in baseball's defensive statistics. They are not at all mature yet, and are heavily influenced by very subjective inputs. This is part of why I prefer the non-statistical argument for Trout. When someone says that Trout's glove was worth 2.1 wins above a replacement player (the number given at Baseball Reference [baseball-reference.com] he is speaking with a false precision. Silver, it should be noted, doesn't fall into this trap, and I should say that Sean Foreman at Baseball Reference doesn't believe that his 2.1 win number is anything more than an educated guess.)

Egypt recalls envoy to Israel after Gaza strike

CAIRO (AP) ? Egypt's Islamist president recalled the country's ambassador to Israel to protest its strikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday after coming under mounting domestic criticism for not taking a strong enough stance against Israel.

The move may signal a shift in the way Cairo deals with Israel following last year's popular uprising that ushered in the country's first free presidential elections over the summer and a wave of protests since. Ousted President Hosni Mubarak, who built close ties with Egypt's neighbor, was accused by Egyptians for refusing to bend to popular pressure for tough stands against Israel.

Ironically, his successor President Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood, came under similar sharp criticism earlier this week for failing to speak out after seven Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes over the weekend in retaliation for rocket attacks by Gaza militants. Secular parties and revolutionary groups on Monday held a vigil denouncing Morsi and protesting the Israeli airstrikes.

On Wednesday, Israel heightened its offensive by killing Ahmad Jabari, the commander of the Hamas military wing, in one of some 20 airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in the wake of further militant rocket attacks. Ten people were killed in the assault on Gaza, two of them young children.

This prompted a protest of around 200 people in downtown Cairo on Wednesday who demanded Morsi take a stand against the Israeli attack.

"Morsi where is your decision," they chanted. "Our leaders, enough with the silence. The people of Gaza are dying there."

Late Wednesday, presidential spokesman Yasser Ali announced on state TV that Morsi had recalled the Egyptian ambassador.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a vocal critic of Israel, and the Palestinian Hamas militant group that rules Gaza is an offshoot of the group. Since taking office as Egypt's first freely elected president in late June, Morsi has refused to meet or contact any Israeli officials and doesn't even mention Israel by name in official statements.

Still, while relations have cooled, Morsi has not brought radical change in Egypt's policy toward Israel. He has promised to abide by Egypt's 1979 peace deal with Israel and his government has continued contacts with Israel through its non-Brotherhood members.

Israel and Egypt have quietly cooperated over an Egyptian military operation in the Sinai Peninsula against Islamic militants who have been attacking Egyptian forces and launching attacks into Israel. Morsi's government also still tightly controls Palestinian movement through the Rafah border crossing with Gaza in the Sinai. Under Mubarak, Egypt's backing of a blockade of Gaza imposed by Israel after Hamas won elections and later overran the territory in 2007 was highly unpopular among Egyptians.

As an elected leader, however, Morsi faces heavy pressure to reflect more strongly the widespread anti-Israeli feelings among the Egyptian public.

"Before, in Mubarak's time, there was no response at all and they suffocated Gaza," said Hassan Saleh, a 25 year-old education ministry official who was among those protesting in Cairo on Wednesday. "All this must change. We should allow aid in, open the crossing and hospitals and pressure Israel."

The Brotherhood's political party, which Morsi headed before winning the presidency, warned in a statement Wednesday that "the occupation state must realize that the changes that took place in the region, especially in Egypt, will not let the Palestinian people fall at the mercy of the Israeli aggression as was the case before."

The party expressed condolences for al-Jabari's death and denounced the Israeli airstrike Wednesday as a "crime that requires a quick Arab and international response to stem these massacres." It said Israel wants to "drag the region toward instability." They called for protests Friday to denounce the military escalation.

Egypt's ambassador to Israel Atef Sayid al-Ahl told the semi-official Al-Akhbar newspaper he would arrive to Cairo on Thursday afternoon. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Israel had not received word of the recall and would not comment until it did.

Morsi also asked the Arab League's secretary-general to convene an emergency ministerial meeting in the wake of the Gaza violence, his spokesman said. The Arab League said it would hold the emergency session on Saturday. The Foreign Ministry delivered a letter to the Israeli Embassy in Egypt expressing its "strong condemnation" of the Israeli strikes.

Egyptian military intelligence officials said Wednesday four missiles were fired from northern Sinai into Israel just south of the Kerem Shalom border crossing. The officials said they could not confirm what type or rockets were fired or where they landed inside Israel.

Islamic militants are suspected of being behind the rocket fire, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Superstorm priorities for some include saving pets

NEW YORK (AP) ? Superstorm Sandy drove New York and New Jersey residents from their homes, destroyed belongings and forced them to find shelter for themselves ? and for their pets. Owners recounted tales of a dog swimming through flooded streets and extra food left behind for a tarantula no one was willing to take in.

In New York City and on Long Island, the ASPCA has rescued more than 300 animals and treated or provided supplies to about 13,000, working with government and private animal welfare agencies, said spokeswoman Emily Schneider.

City shelters took in about 400 animals along with their families in the first days after Sandy, Schneider said. There are now more than 100 in shelters with their owners, and a mobile animal medical clinic is cruising decimated neighborhoods in Queens' Rockaways and on Staten Island.

In New Jersey, the Humane Society deployed dozens of first responders using mobile units and boats to bring in about 60 displaced animals each day on the barrier islands hit by the storm.

The absence of animals that were lost or separated from their owners only adds to families' feelings of displacement and trauma, said members of emergency crews trying to rescue both.

Two weeks after Sandy made landfall on the Atlantic shore, followed a week later by a nor'easter, search-and-rescue teams were led by Animal Care & Control of NYC, a city-contracted nonprofit responding to hotline calls about pets in distress. Callers are owners forced to leave animals behind or unable to care for them, or people who see them wandering in hard-hit areas.

A Manhattan shelter takes in animals round the clock, hoping for owners to show up.

And social media teams scour the Internet for reports of lost pets, helping reunite them with owners.

Rescuing animals is mandatory under federal law, which requires local and state governments to include plans for pets in emergency procedures. Federal Emergency Management Agency funds go toward the welfare of animals in disaster zones.

New York City's human shelters are required to accept pets, and so are taxis and public transportation.

Some find it hard to understand why animals are a key concern in disasters engulfing human lives, but owners feel an attachment and responsibility to their pets, said Niki Dawson, director of disaster services for the Washington, D.C.-based Humane Society of the United States.

"There's such a strong bond between people and animals that people will put their lives at risk not to leave a pet behind," Dawson said. "So they stay, even when they're told to evacuate, and that puts first responders going back for them at risk."

More than 200 dogs, cats and other pets from a devastated area of New York's Long Island are being sheltered in the gymnasium of a community college. Many belong to owners in nearby shelters and hotels.

Celebrity chef Rachael Ray is donating $500,000 to the ASPCA to help pets and families struggling to rebound from Superstorm Sandy. She said her pet food brand, Nutrish, is also shipping 4 tons of wet and dry dog food for Sandy animals, and her Yum-o! organization is donating $100,000 to City Harvest and the Food Bank for New York City.

The ASPCA will use the money to lease a building to board Sandy animals till their owners can take care of them.

Schwartz and Scooter, two black felines, came from a home that was flooded with water 5 feet deep, dark and cold in Long Beach, a heavily damaged barrier island community.

On Kate and Warren Sherwood's block, five houses were burned to the ground.

"We barely got out of our house in time," Kate Sherwood said.

They took refuge at a hotel that didn't accept cats.

"We sneaked them in and put a 'do not disturb' sign on the door ? pretending we're on our honeymoon," said Warren Sherwood, 56, a systems analyst. "But after three days, they got restless and starting meowing."

The couple took them to the Nassau gym shelter, run by the North Shore Animal League America, the nation's largest no-kill rescue and adoption organization.

"We're ridiculously stressed out, we're freaked out," said Warren Sherwood. "But I'd do anything in the world for these people who are keeping our cats alive."

Also among the pets in the gym was Emma, a Manchester terrier that swam to safety through flooded streets in Freeport on Long Island, while its owners carried their cats above the water, plus some clothes they grabbed at the last minute.

"We lost our house. It's submerged," said Mark Swing, who fled with his girlfriend as the tides rose. "All we got out was our four cats and the dog, except for a few changes of clothes."

The 8-year-old terrier was "a little tired, but fine," said Swing, 48, a contractor who was in a Red Cross shelter.

Cats and dogs weren't the only pets rescued from the storms.

"We're finding chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, birds," said Dawson.

And then, there was the tarantula, left behind in the New York City borough of Staten Island, in a home inspectors deemed uninhabitable.

The spider belonged to a teenage boy who was also attached to his gerbils. He and his family were forced to evacuate.

His aunt in Brooklyn agreed to take in the gerbils, but no one wanted the hairy tarantula. The teen left it behind with lots of food ? in hopes the spider could be retrieved later.

Like their owners, many animals that survived won't go home anytime soon. They're being housed and fed thanks to the kindness of strangers.

Transport trailers distributed pet food and supplies like crates, leashes and litter from a warehouse in Queens set up days before Sandy descended, said Schneider. Tons of food is being trucked in, donated by Petsmart Charities, Iams, Del Monte Foods, Purina and the Petco Foundation.

It will be months before any estimates are available as to how many pets might have died or were lost during New York's double storms.

Dawson says she's seen people stuck in shelters, wearing donated clothing, with no idea when they'll go home. But when they turn to their dog or cat, "their faces light up."

And that, she says, is why animals matter amid a human disaster.

NY auction of Warhol works fetches over $17M

NEW YORK (AP) ? The first in a series of live and online auctions to raise money for the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in New York has collected over $17 million.

Monday's auction at Christie's featured works by Warhol ranging from prints to photographs, some of which have not been seen by the public.

The top sale was "Endangered Species: San Francisco Silverspot," a print that fetched over $1.2 million. Other highlights included "Jackie," a screen print and paper collage of Jacqueline Kennedy that sold for over $626,000. That's more than double its high estimate of $300,000.

The foundation says the money raised for its endowment from the sales would allow it to expand support of the visual arts, fulfilling Warhol's purpose in establishing it.

Online auctions will begin in February.

Sex & the Savage Yogini. | elephant journal

photo by Jill Shropshire

Faking It While Making It?

I?ve been listening to way too much Dan Savage lately. For those of you who aren?t aware of the Savage Love podcast, it?s a weekly show where people call in with questions about every facet of sexuality. There is a lot of talk about fetishes and polygamy and activities far beyond the realm of what we consider ?normal.? There are also a lot of questions about the most mundane and boring elements of human sexuality. This is a show for everyone. Well, everyone except children and my 95-year-old grandmother.

Savage is considered a controversial figure by some because of?among other things?his encouragement of polyamorous relationships, or what he calls ?monogamish? relationships. He argues that most people will stray, and even if they don?t, the temptation will be there. A monogamish relationship doesn?t just allow for extra partners, but gives sexual partners the freedom to discuss their fantasies and concerns openly and honestly. It?s the kind of relationship where agreements are made, contracts are figuratively drawn up, and both parties are consulted before any actions are taken.

It is a very adult idea of sexuality?and by ?adult? I don?t mean anything as titillating as porn. Having sex on the kitchen table can be sexy. Rationally discussing your sexual issues over coffee at the kitchen table usually isn?t. Dirty talk is hot. Talking about your therapist?s recommendations with your partner isn?t.

So, sorry to disappoint you. When I say that I?ve been listening to too much Savage lately, it has nothing to do with riding crops or clear heels or threesomes. If it was, I could be totally honest and happy to purchase some shiny new items from Smitten Kitten or Adam & Eve and call into work for the next week or so. It?s that open and honest thing that makes me want to wrap my body in a nun?s habit and a five-fold saffron robe.

Sexual honesty makes me feel filthier than a Jenna Jameson DVD. It?s why I spent most of my adult life avoiding it?faking it while I was making it. Down through the years, I?ve had a lot of Meryl Streep moments in the bedroom. I?ve acted interested when I?m not. I?ve acted disinterested when there is nothing more I?d rather do. I?ve feigned satisfaction and disappointment and transcendence and an overwhelming need to get a good night?s sleep. I?ve pretended to feel desirable while stealthily removing my Spanx. I?ve pretended to desire my partners even when they reeked of Jacked Smoky Chipotle BBQ Doritos and Miller Lite.

I?m sure I, and billions of other people, could offer up our sexual relationships for the Academy?s consideration. Our childhoods are filled with fairy tales and mythology and movies and pop songs. We spend our teenage years painfully realizing that all those stories either aren?t true, or just aren?t true for us. We become disenchanted, angry, vulnerable. We listen to a lot of music and experiment with a range of substances to deal with that reality. Then we grow up and have to date. By adulthood, we are wounded veterans with bloody hearts and haunted brains and a declining ability to tolerate alcohol.

At least, we should be. There are, out there, adults who believe that Sleepless in Seattle was a documentary. That you complete me is an endearing and positive statement. That you can meet someone once and put a deposit down on a U-Haul. I?ve been on unsuspecting internet dates with some of them and marveled at their hopefulness, otherwise known as codependency issues. Sex usually wasn?t a concern with these hapless fellows. Getting through a beer without giving them a wake-up call was.

But then you get a live one?a person who does get you but doesn?t want to be 50 percent of you. Someone with complimentary wounds and a well-stocked first aid kit. You begin letting down your well-reinforced guard and, almost accidentally, being your true self. It feels strange after all those years of learning what other people want and being that, to just being.

Some people never get there. I?m terrified I might be one of them.

As I?ve already admitted, it isn?t that I have that much to reveal when it comes to sex. I have a past, yes. I?m a 34-year-old woman who has been essentially single and sexually active her entire adult life. There have been some cringe-worthy, dangerous, salacious, very satisfying moments with more than a few partners. And as a woman, I?ve been violated and mistreated by men during several hellish periods of my life. I know very few women who haven?t been, though. So many women I know harbor some incident from their past in the deepest part of their souls. That place of the unforgiven. That mute place.

I?ve always believed that silence is, indeed, golden when it comes to sex. I?ve been able to ask for what I want and to prevent what I don?t want, but that?s because I feel it?s my feminist duty to educate and enlighten men. That voice comes from the confident, politically aware part of my libido that demands that I enjoy sex because my foremothers didn?t have to the right to.

This orgasm?s for you, Grandma!

But then there?s that amphibian me who is dismissive of intellectual thought and self-help books. It?s the part of me that fears men and fears myself. Some of my fear of men is founded, but in my current relationship, the fight or flight response only leads to another night of Parks and Rec re-runs and some low-sodium popcorn. I?m running away from him, running toward any kind of distraction to avoid talking about it or having it.

by Jill Shropshire

There are all my fears of sexual inadequacy; the montages of bad porn and Angelina Jolie and bony hipbones that plague my mind are Hollywood-slick. Several years ago, I stopped telling men that I was a yoga instructor because they expected Kama Sutra. They expected handstand blowjobs and chakra explosions. Not to sound self-deprecating, but chakra explosions aren?t in my repertoire and, in spite of several inversion workshops, my handstand is a wall, cushion, and experienced instructor assisted situation. Keep your expectations low, boys.

Just being honest.

I am in a ?monogamish? relationship?except the other partners are memories, imaginations, spooks and nagging self-doubts. There is the fear that I?m not enough of a freak, and the fear that I?m far too much of one. And most of all, there?s the fear that I have to admit all of this to another person. That we are so close, that the smoke and mirrors that made dating so mysterious and fun, make our relationship distant and confusing.

The truth about sex is that it can be just sex and be fulfilling. No harps or roses or promises of eternal love are required. When you are in love, though, sex becomes a way to communicate with your partner. It?s non-verbal (sometimes), but the loudest statement about where your relationship is and where you are within it. To silence yourself is to remove the pleasure and spontaneity in favor of the mask and bad dialogue.

In sex, in yoga, in business and in relationships, truth is always the answer. Sometimes we need to do 50 warrior poses in order to speak boldly. Sometimes we need a vibrator and a Susie Bright book. Sometimes we need a weekly hour of Dan Savage. Staying open and honest takes practice, but there are thousands of lights along the way to guide you.

And if you find yourself feeling free with your mouth and your body, don?t ask me what happened on the last few episodes of Parks and Recreation. I?ve been otherwise occupied.

Namaste.

(AP) ? A trans-Atlantic collaboration between the Royal Shakespeare Company in England, Miami's GableStage and The Public Theater in New York will present a radically fresh version of "Antony and Cleopatra" set on the eve of the Haitian Revolution.

The new staging, which is edited and directed by Tarell Alvin McCraney, will premiere at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Stratford-upon-Avon home in November 2013 before coming to the United States to play at GableStage in January 2014 followed by The Public Theater in late January 2014.

Setting the Shakespeare play in the 1700s allows McCraney, an artistic associate at the Royal Shakespeare Company and an ensemble member of the Steppenwolf Theater Company, to explore colonialism and racial politics of the New World.

Nokia Lumia 820 review: a less expensive option for the Windows Phone crowd

Nokia Lumia 820 review Another Windows Phone that's a little cheaper

The Lumia 820 has been tucked away behind the shadow of its bigger brother ever since it was revealed, but if any phone represents the Windows Phone 8 vision -- different phones for different people -- it's this next-generation Lumia. Avoiding the unibody build of the rest of the family, this phone has an outer shell that's removable and can work with a range of cases: glossy, not-glossy, ruggedized and capable of wireless charging. It's a nice option, one that offers a taste of hardware customization before you've even started swiping around the Live Tiles and customizing the color schemes.

Under the lid, there's a removable 1,650mAh battery, with access to expandable microSD storage. Other specs include 1GB of RAM, the same 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor used in the Lumia 920 and a 4.3-inch OLED 800 x 480 display, albeit with the same glove-courting super-sensitivity found on that other new Lumia. On AT&T, it'll be $50 upfront, half the outlay for the 920, while in the UK, it's priced SIM-free at £360 in the UK, again compared to £445 for the bigger model. At this reduced price, you won't get to sample Nokia's optical image stabilization, but you'll still get a Carl Zeiss lens paired with an 8-megapixel sensor. So there's some understandable drawbacks compared to Nokia's statement phone and its two greatest strengths, but how does Windows Phone 8 fare on a cheaper handset? Join us after the break as we see what 50 bucks less gets you.
