Dr Ruth Americas favorite Sex Dr, debut’s Talks about Grandparents at BEA-2014

Dr. Ruth Westheimer, America’s favorite sex therapist, will be celebrating double on June 4. It’s her 86th birthday and the publication date of her latest book, Myths of Love: Echoes of Ancient Mythology in the Modern Romantic Imagination (Quill Driver Books, June). The book, which analyzes Greek and Roman myths and their relevance to 21st-century relationships, is, says Dr. Ruth, “a departure for me because it’s more learned and more academic, which makes me very happy. And it is academic without being boring.”

The idea for the book was conceived during a visit to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art by Dr. Ruth and her coauthor Jerome E. Singerman, a longtime friend and classical scholar. They were, she remembers, standing in front of Lucas Cranach the Elder’s 16th-century work, The Judgment of Paris, which depicts Paris (he of the Trojan War) trying to decide which of three goddesses—Minerva, Venus, or Juno—is the fairest. The painting became the midwife of the book,” Dr. Ruth says.

Our founders were provoked to organize the QUEENS PRIDE parade and festival by the murder of Julio Rivera and discrimination in our local schools.These events brought the LGBTQ community of Queens together to achieve respect, and in doing so, identified a need to take advocacy to the streets.

We now attract more than 40,000 spectators and are the second largest Pride celebration in the New York metropolitan area. Queens Pride continues to promote the visibility and accomplishments of the LGBTQ community and to foster acceptance by the many cultures and religions represented in our borough.

In addition to the parade and festival, our group works to foster youth, cultural, and social programming and to engage our elected officials on issues pertinent to the LGBTQ community. We host an annual film series, and our Winter Pride Dinner Dance attracts countless elected officials who come to support our efforts and provide commitment to advancing our causes.

Microsoft debuts 12″ Surface Pro 3, its super-slim laptop-killing tablet in New York-2014

Microsoft debuts 12″ Surface Pro 3, its super-slim laptop-killing tablet in New York-2014

All specifications leaked earlier this week hold water, including the use of Intel’s Haswell chipset, thinner bezels, relocated Windows button and a larger form factor. Microsoft reckons that the average user will eke out nine hours of web browsing and enjoy crisper sound thanks to Dolby Audio. The 12″ Full HD display, the press release notes, will be housed in “a beautiful package that is 30 percent thinner than an 11-inch MacBook Air.”

There’s no doubt what company Microsoft is gunning for here. Redmond’s pricing is right up Apple’s alley too, with the Surface Pro 3 ranging from US$799 to a rather steep US$1 949. In comparison, a 128GB Apple iPad will currently set you back around US$799, around US$200 less than its closest 128GB Surface equivalent.

Panos Panay, corporate vice president of Microsoft Surface, added his opinions regarding Redmond’s new iPad/laptop-killer.

“Surface Pro 3 is the tablet that can replace your laptop — packing all the performance of a fully powered laptop into a thin, light and beautifully designed device. You’ll love being able to carry a single device for your next class, workday or weekend getaway knowing you have all the power you need.”

Something Panay failed to announce though was the Surface Mini. Allegedly, Microsoft shirked the smaller ARM-powered device’s announcement due to a last minute change of heart,

The Surface Pro 3 and a host of accessories however, is available for preorder including Surface Pro Type Cover (transforming the tablet into a laptop, Surface Pen, a Docking Station and a Surface Ethernet Adapter. These will be available to customers in Canada and the US by 20 June, and other nations “by the end of August.” Expect to pay over US$2000 for the full set with the most amount of memory.

Exclusive interview with Jorge Posada Catcher for NY Yankee’s -2014

Exclusive interview with Jorge Posada Catcher for NY Yankee’s -2014

0

Jorge Rafael Posada Villeta (born August 17, 1971) is a retired Puerto Rican baseball catcher who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. Posada produced strong offensive numbers for his position, recording a .273 batting average, 275 home runs, and 1,065 runs batted in (RBIs) during his career. A switch hitter, Posada was a five-time All-Star, won five Silver Slugger Awards, and was on the roster for four World Series championship teams.

Drafted by the Yankees in 1990, Posada was originally an infielder before moving to catcher during his minor league career. He debuted in the major leagues in 1995, but it was not until 1998 that he found regular playing time. A solid-hitting catcher, Posada established himself as a mainstay in the Yankees lineup and as one of the “Core Four” players who contributed to the Yankees’ winning seasons. In 2003, he finished third in voting for the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award and became only the second Yankees catcher after Yogi Berra to hit 30 home runs in a season. Posada added one of his best seasons in 2007 at age 35 when he batted .338. Following a stint as designated hitter in 2011, he retired.

Posada is only the fifth MLB catcher with at least 1,500 hits, 350 doubles, 275 home runs, and 1,000 RBIs in a career. From 2000 to 2011, he compiled more RBIs and home runs than any other catcher in baseball. He is the only MLB catcher to ever bat .330 or better with 40 doubles, 20 home runs, and 90 RBIs in a single season. Away from baseball, Posada is the founder of the Jorge Posada Foundation, which is involved with research for craniosynostosis, a disease that impacts his son.
