(AP) ? Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who made a fortune as a health care executive, long opposed President Barack Obama's remake of the health insurance market. After the Democratic president won re-election, the Republican governor softened his tone. He said he wanted to "have a conversation" with the administration about implementing the 2010 law. With a federal deadline approaching, he also said while Florida won't set up the exchange for individuals to buy private insurance policies, the feds can do it.

In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie held his cards before saying he won't set up his own exchange, but he's avoided absolute language and says he could change his mind. He's also leaving his options open to accept federal money to expand Medicaid insurance for people who aren't covered. The caveat, Christie says, is whether Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius can "answer my questions" about its operations and expense.

Both Republican governors face re-election in states that Obama won twice, Christie in 2013 and Scott in 2014. And both will encounter well-financed Democrats.

Their apparent struggles on the issue, along with other postures by their GOP colleagues elsewhere, suggest political uncertainty for Republicans as the Affordable Care Act starts to go into effect two years after clearing Congress without a single Republican vote. The risks also are acute for governors in Democratic-leaning or swing-voting states or who know their records will be parsed should they seek the presidency in 2016 or beyond.

"It's a tough call for many Republican governors who want to do the best thing for their state but don't want to be seen as advancing an overhaul that many Republicans continue to detest," said Whit Ayers, a consultant in Virginia whose clients include Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee, a Republican who didn't announce his rejection of a state exchange until days before Sebelius's Dec. 14 deadline.

Indeed, cracks keep growing in the near-unanimous Republican rejection of Obama's health care law that characterized the GOP's political messaging for the last two years. Five GOP-led states ? Idaho, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah ? are pressing ahead with state insurance exchanges. Ongoing monitoring by The Associated Press shows that another five Republican-led states are pursuing or seriously a partnership with Washington to help run the new markets.

Democrats, meanwhile, hope to use the law and Republican inflexibility to their advantage, betting that more Americans will embrace the law once it expands coverage. The calculus for voters, Democrats assume, will become more about the policy and less about a polarizing president.

"It shouldn't be complicated at all," said John Anzalone, an Obama pollster who assists Democrats in federal races across the country. Anzalone said Republicans could use their own states-rights argument to justify running exchanges. Instead, he said, "They are blinded by Obama-hatred rather than seeing what's good for their citizens."

Governors can set up their own exchanges, partner with Sebelius' agency or let the federal government do it. The exchanges are set to open Jan. 1, 2014, allowing individuals and businesses to shop online for individual policies from private insurers. Low- and middle-income individuals will get federal premium subsidies calculated on a sliding income scale. Eighteen states plus Washington, DC, most led by Democrats, have committed to opening their own exchanges.

The law also calls for raising the income threshold for Medicaid eligibility to cover people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line, or about $15,400 a year for an individual. That could add more than 10 million people, most of them childless adults, to the joint state-federal insurance program for low-income and disabled Americans. Together, the exchanges and the Medicaid expansion are expected to reduce the number of uninsured by about 30 million people within the next decade.

A Supreme Court ruling last summer made the Medicaid expansion voluntary, rather than mandatory for states. At least eight governors, all of them Republicans, have already said they have no plans to expand Medicaid.

The complexity is obvious.

National exit polls from last month's election showed that 49 percent of voters wanted some or all of Obama's signature legislative achievement rolled back. Among self-identified independents, that number was 58 percent. Among Republicans, it spiked to 81 percent. When asked about the role of government, half of respondents said the notion that government is doing too much fits their views more closely than the idea that government should do more.

Before the election, a national AP-GfK poll suggested that 63 percent of respondents preferred their states to run insurance exchanges, almost double the 32 percent who wanted the federal government to take that role. And the same electorate that tilts toward repealing some or all of the new law clearly re-elected its champion.

That's not the most important consideration for governors who face re-election in Republican states. Georgia's Nathan Deal and Alabama's Robert Bentley, who also face 2014 campaigns, initially set up advisory commissions to consider how to carry out the health care law, but they've since jumped ship. But, unlike others, Deal and Bentley aren't eyeing national office.

Three Republicans who are viewed as potential national candidates ? Rick Perry of Texas, Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana ? were full-throated opponents. Jindal, the only one of the three who is term-limited, is the incoming chairman of the Republican Governors Association. In that role, he has co-signed more conciliatory letters to Sebelius asking questions to flesh out how the designs might work.

Republican governors also are feeling quiet pressure from hospitals and other providers.

Deal, the Georgia governor, offers the typical argument for saying no: "We can't afford it." But the law envisions the new Medicaid coverage more or less as a replacement of an existing financing situation that pays hospitals to treat the uninsured. The law contemplates cuts in that program, which already requires state seed money. The idea was that expanding Medicaid coverage would reduce "uncompensated care" costs.

"Some of those cuts were made with the expectation that Medicaid would be expanded and that hospitals would be paid for portions of business that we are not being paid for now," said Don Dalton of the North Carolina Hospital Association.

Dalton's Governor-elect, Republican Pat McCrory, said as a candidate that he opposed Medicaid expansion. Dalton said his industry is leaning on McCrory and legislative leaders, though he commended "their deliberate approach." Similar efforts are underway in South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri and elsewhere.

For Democrats, Anzalone said the framing will be simpler: "You don't want to take a 9-to-1 match? That's a pretty easy investment. These governors who aren't expanding Medicaid, they're basically giving taxpayer money to the states that do."

Couple loses adoptive daughter after Russia signs ban

After a roller coaster week, Kendra Skaggs sat down to vent on her blog. She had used that space to document her 13 month journey of adopting a young girl named Polina from Russia. But now, with that dream just weeks away from fulfillment, she described her frustration, fear and anger as she watched it being snatched away.

"I have no control. I'm on the other side of the world and I can't hold and comfort my daughter as I wait to hear if we will forever be separated," she wrote in a passionate entry

Her writing seemed to speak for hundreds of American parents whose hopes of adopting a Russian orphan were dashed today when Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law a controversial ban on adoptions to the United States. The move is part of Russia's retaliation for a set of human rights sanctions passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama earlier this month. Critics, including the U.S. State Department, say the adoption ban is playing politics with the lives of children.

Russia is the third most popular country for Americans to adopt from, but in recent years the issue has become a political football in Russia. Americans have adopted over 60,000 Russian children since the fall of the Soviet Union, but Russian officials have seized on the cases of 19 children who died after being adopted by Americans.

Soccer Player Kick-Starts New Career After Viral Video Watch Video

In 2010, a 7-year-old adopted boy named Artyom was put on a plane back to Russia alone by his adoptive mother from Tennessee with little more than a note saying she did not want him anymore. The case touched off a wave of fury in Russia and adoptions to the United States were nearly halted.

Just a week ago Kendra and her husband visited Polina at her orphanage outside Moscow. The bubbly 5-year-old suffers from spina bifida, a condition that has left her numb from the waist down and unable to walk. They showed Polina photos of her new bedroom and told her about her new family. They played together, hugged each other, and promised to see each other soon when they returned in January to bring her home to Arkansas.

The adoption ban legislation, meanwhile, had just been introduced by Russian lawmakers. Kendra had hoped their case, which was nearly completed, would sneak in under the wire. She held out hope again after a Moscow court approved her adoption on Monday. All that was needed was a 30 day waiting period before they could bring Polina home.

It appears even that was too late. The law goes into effect on Jan. 1, but Russian officials have said even cases of 52 children who are within weeks of traveling to the United States are now frozen. Authorities have pledged to find new homes for them in Russia.

For the Skaggs family, it is agonizing to be so close to bringing her home, yet so far. Kendra fears Polina will think she was abandoned again.

"It's the fear of what she is going to think, that we forgot her," she said in an interview with ABC News.

"She's out there and I can't take care of her," she said, crying softly. "I can't help her. I can't tell her I love her. So it's really hard."

She also worries what will happen to Polina in Russia, a country with scarce accommodations for the handicapped.

"Russia really isn't set up for people with disabilities. You can't get into the metro even to get around because it's just levels and levels of stairs that you have to go up and down and there's no handicapped access to the buildings," Kendra said.

2012 Review: Agri-business, sustainable ag add up to big economy ...

The business of agriculture is big business in Kentucky, one family at a time, and sustainable agriculture is increasingly on the public agenda ? how to have safe, plentiful, affordable food to put on the family table. KyForward?s informative stories on agri-business issues have been wide-ranging ? from commercial farming to backyard gardens. Here is one of our favorites, though we provide lots of other options from your reading pleasure

Farmer hopes to eliminate propane bill
this winter with energy-efficient biomass boiler

?

As the temperatures drop, many people are wondering how they can reduce winter energy costs, and one Hart County producer may have it figured out.

Paul Dennison, a grower of various horticultural crops and tobacco in Horse Cave, hopes to eliminate an energy bill this winter with a biomass gasification boiler he installed this past spring at his farming operation.
?

?If this thing is as efficient as I?m hoping, we won?t have to buy any more propane,? he said.
?

Dennison installed the boiler with the help of Chris Clark, Hart County agriculture and natural resources agent with the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. Clark connected Dennison with personnel in the UK Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, who were conducting on-farm energy audits for farmers as part of a grant the UK Cooperative Extension Service received from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
?

The audit helped Dennison determine whether the boiler might be more efficient than his current heat source, propane. The audit also helped him secure partial funding for the project from the Governor?s Office of Agricultural Policy?s On-Farm Energy Efficiency and Production Assistance program, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
?

?The boiler is energy efficient and environmentally friendly,? Clark said. ?I think it addresses a lot of issues that we?re looking at as a nation in being ecologically sound.?
?

Dennison?s boiler provides heat for his five greenhouses, a roadside market and other buildings, which previously used 2,000 gallons of propane each winter. He uses wood from old fencerows and the forest on his farm to heat the water in the boiler. The boiler pipes the water underground to an air-heat exchanger, which blows warm air into each of the structures.
?

The unit is rated at 95 percent efficiency, and Dennison was impressed with the amount of heat it produced during the short period it was active in the spring.
?

?It?s amazing how much heat will come off the radiator,? he said. ?It really feels like a big gas furnace.?
?

In addition to lowering his energy costs, the boiler may help Dennison keep his roadside market open longer this year.
?

?We might possibly decide to stay open until Christmas, because if the stove proves to be efficient, we won?t have a heating bill to contend with,? he said.

Top 10 New Year's Bowl Games And How To Tailgate For Them ...

Ah, New Year?s Eve, that awful, crushing night where you want something awesome to happen so badly. Instead, it?s freezing cold and you?re either going to be stuck at home watching reruns of Everyone Loves Raymond with your parents, or you?re going to be wedged into a bar with so, so many sweaty people and $12 Bud Lights. It just sucks no matter what you do.

So what can you do to survive the letdown into 2013? Well that?s easy. Get drunk and watch football. After all, that?s been your escape hatch for graduations, funerals, weddings and subsequent divorce proceedings. Why would you change up your game plan now?

Here?s the deal: we?re going to walk you through all 10 of the bowl games from December 31 to January 1, with tips on who?s playing and how to properly tailgate for the game. Of course, to hit all 10, you?d need to be some kind of drinking wizard. But if that?s the case, why would you use your powers of teleportation for partying? That?s irresponsible. You need to rethink your priorities.

10. Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl

(December 31, 12:00 PM EST)

Ok, let?s start keeping score, because right now the record for most words in a bowl game name is currently five. Of course, the record is the ?Beef O? Brady Happy Hour American Hero Petsmart.Com Bowl? between the Elon Naps and the Youngstown State Sadness Binges. The Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl (or ?FAMMCB,? which just rolls off the tongue) is between the NC State Wolf Pack and the Vanderbilt Commodores. Now, how popular is this bowl game? Well, according to the Facebooks, 6,728 people like the FAMMCB, and 9,723 people like the state of Idaho (seriously). So it?s like that.

Recommended Tailgate Food: Take out from the world famous Loveless Cafe.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: As much Tennessee whiskey as you can get your hands on.

9. Hyundai Sun Bowl

(December 31, 2:00 PM EST)

Well, color me surprised. Apparently the Hyundai Sun is not an electro-car, and the Hyundai Sun Bowl is not an orange juice drink on Benihana?s breakfast menu. Instead, it?s a throwdown between former #1 USC and perennial guys that are just sorta ?there??? the Ramblin? Wreck of Georgia Tech. Now, this game is being held in El Paso, TX, so you?re going to want to hit up all of El Paso?s amazing clubs, incredible museums, tasty restaurants and happening downtown. Woof

Recommended Tailgate Food: Based on those pictures? Pack some ham sandwiches from home.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: Juicy Juice and Vodka. Or all the beer.

8. AutoZone Liberty Bowl

(December 31, 3:30 PM EST)

Doesn?t ?AutoZone Liberty? sound like AutoZone?s rewards program? Yeah, I know, I used a similar joke the last couple entries, but you know what? These bowl names are ridiculous! I?m going to keep on going back to this well until we go back to ?The Freedom Bowl,? because frankly, the ?Taco Bell Dot Com Cheesy Crunchalicious Bowl? is all sorts of silly.

Anyway.

At least this bowl is between All World teams Iowa State and Tulsa. Hey! the Autozone Liberty Bowl is held in Memphis, so instead of the Easy Mac Mediocre Bowl, why not spend your tailgate at Sun Records, Stax Records or Beale Street instead? If you miss the game, that?s probably alright.

Recommended Tailgate Food: Forget Rendezvous. It?s overrated. Get yourself some of Gus? World Famous Fried Chicken.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: Gotta stay local. Check out Memphis? own Ghost River Brewing.

7. Chick-fil-A Bowl

(December 31, 7:30 PM EST)

More like the ?TIGER?-fil-A bowl, amirite guys? Haha! Seriously, though, say no to poaching. Now, this should actually be a pretty solid game, not only because both teams are 10-2, but because I can get behind any game that features my favorite name in the history of college football?? Barkevious Mingo. He is the Pops-Mensah-Bonsu of college football. I don?t know or care what position he plays. I just know he exists and that?s his name.

Recommended Tailgate Food: If you?re a fan of the predictable? Chick-fil-A, no matter how gross and overrated. If you?re a fan of the unpredictable? A balloon full of beef donuts.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: Terrapin Beer. These guys apprenticed under the folks at Dogfish Head, and rumor has it that the artist who draws their labels was the same fella what worked on the Grateful Dead. Check ?em out.

6. Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl

(January 1, 12:00 PM EST)

Fun fact, it?s not the Gator Bowl, sponsored by Taxslayer.com. It?s named after a character named ?The Taxslayer.com Gator.? He?s not a business, he?s just a reptile that haaaaaates it when you don?t get your full return! At least you can spend your tailgate partying in? Jacksonville? Ok. Get? whatever food you can and just? try to get through this.

Recommended Tailgate Food: Triscuit crackers.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: Room temperature water.

5. The Heart of Dallas Bowl

(January 1, 12:00 PM EST)

This bowl is held at the Cotton Bowl, but is not THE Cotton Bowl. Actually, The Cotton Bowl is being held at Cowboys Stadium. Football is silly. One of these days we should really stop talking about it.

Now, the good news about the about the Cotton Bowl (stadium) is that it?s held on the Texas State Fair Grounds. Understand, this is a place that?s famous for frying Coke, lattes, cookie dough, butter and beer. Someone actually won an award for ?Buffalo Chicken in a Flapjack.? No, for real. LOOK.

So, tailgating for this game, you?re going to have all this stuff feeding Purdue Fans from Indiana and Oklahoma State fans from, well, Oklahoma. Put on a pot of coffee, Baylor Senior Health Center. This tailgate is going to be amazing, but you are going to do some record business.

Recommended Tailgate Food: Buffalo chicken in a flapjack, apparently.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: Concentrated fish oil.

4. Outback Bowl

(January 1, 1 PM EST)

Much like its sponsor, the Outback Bowl will feature a salty main course with forgettable side dishes. However, at least you?ll get the chance to witness Michigan?s Denard Robinson spectacularly failing one last time before getting shuffled off to the pros, where he?ll be taken in the 5th round by the Dolphins as a return man. And then we?ll never have to hear from this loose-shoelaced bum ever again.

Recommended Tailgate Food: Get yourself some authentic cubano sandwiches from Ybor City, man.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: Get thee to Cigar City Brewing and stock up as much as you can!

3. Capital One Bowl

(January 1, 1 PM EST)

The Capital One Bowl nee Capital One Florida Citrus Bowl nee Ourhouse.com Florida Citrus Bowl nee CompUSA Florida Cirtus Bowl nee Florida Citrus Bowl nee Tangerine Bowl is a decent bowl match-up (Georgia v. Nebraska. I can buy that) in a good enough town (Orlando. Meh). And who wouldn?t want to visit the home of ?90s super-group O-Town?

While you?re there, pay homage to Capital One while you can. For this tailgate, dress up like a Capital One Viking and use it as an excuse to plunder everyone else?s meat and beer.

Recommended Tailgate Food: Let?s see uh? Orlando? a bowl of oranges?

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: Orange juice and vodka?

2. Rose Bowl Game Presented by Vizio

(January 1, 5:00 PM EST)

What the hell does Vizio even do!? Why can they afford a bowl game!?

Ok, so there?s some good news here. Wisconsin is a state that absolutely loves abusing their bodies with food and alcohol. And Stanford?s located not too far from the Anchor brewery. And even better, the game is being held in Pasadena, which isn?t that far from the Stone Brewery. In other words, between these two fan bases, all you?ll have to do is show up with beer and cheese and the rest of the script should write itself. It?ll be a good way to watch the sixth best team in the Big Ten play in a premier bowl.

Recommended Tailgate Food: All the cheese.

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: All the beer.

1. Discover Orange Bowl

(January 1, 8:30 PM EST)

I like that the name of this bowl game is also a call to action. Like, ?Hey, slack-jawed yokel, Discover the Orange Bowl!? Haha. What?s that? Oh! The article!

Right, so this white-knuckle match-up pits the Florida State Seminoles against the Northern Illinois Huskies, teams that not even people in northern Illinois want to see. But hey, that?s the BCS for you.

BUT it?s also the last bowl on our last, so let?s go out with a bang!

Recommended Tailgate Food: Whatever fancy schmancy hors d?oeuvres you can get!

Recommended Tailgate Beverage: ALL THE CHAMPAGNE!

Of course, these are all appetizers for the main course on January 7th. But we?re not talking about that, for fear of jinxing anything. So enjoy the bowl season, enjoy the New Year, and be safe.

Check out more Tailgating Top 10s.

Stop in at the Man Cave Daily, where the women are hot and the beer is cold.

The GOP was accused of waging a war on women last year. Plenty of Republicans ? and yes, Republican women ? said that was actually a Democratic ploy designed to raise money in an election year.

Nonetheless, several women?s issues emerged front and center in 2012.

Following the lead of other states, Pennsylvania lawmakers considered a bill requiring women to have an ultrasound before getting an abortion. The bill also called for an image of the fetus to be shown on a monitor.

Gov. Tom Corbett garnered national attention and criticism when he said that women didn?t have to look at the monitor to see the fetus. He said a woman simply has to ?close your eyes.?

Democrats pounded Corbett for the remark. Corbett?s support of the bill earned support from some conservatives, but even some Republicans said they were disappointed by Corbett's comments.

The bill was sponsored by a woman: State Rep. Kathy Rapp, R-Warren County. But the legislation was later put on the shelf when it became clear it wouldn?t get support.

As Republican presidential candidates battled over abortion in the fight for the GOP nomination, some cautioned that the emphasis on social issues was creating a gender gap. ?This primary process has really alienated a lot of women across the country,? Christine Toretti, a key player in the Republican National Committee, told The Patriot-news.

The battle over birth control also made news in 2012, and the issue broke party lines.

Conservatives, Catholics in particular, fought a provision in President Barack Obama?s health care reform law requiring health insurance plans to pay for contraception. At one point, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr., D-Pa., and other Democrats urged the White House to reconsider.

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh also received criticism for calling a Georgetown University student a ?slut? for testifying before Congress about the need for access to contraceptives. Limbaugh later apologized.

Planned Parenthood was again the target of some lawmakers. State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler County, pushed legislation to keep taxpayer money away from the group. He argues that Planned Parenthood doesn't deserve state money because it provides abortion services and referrals.

Another flap involving Planned Parenthood arose early in the year when Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced plans to cut funding for the group. Facing a huge backlash fueled by social media, Komen, a top breast cancer charity, quickly reversed its decision.

?We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives,? a Komen statement said.

maggiewillis0: interment saran: charlesmurra8: Speed reading apps

23 Dec

I installed some speed reading apps and tested them. I?ve so far notices a few ?categories? or groups of equals:

  • One kind exists mostly from showing a text word by word in the middle of the screen. Showing each word a very short time and so you can read at a high wpm because you never need to move your eyes.
  • Another kind is merely a speed reading article disguised as app.
  • Another kind is no speed reading app but just a reading app with a fancy name.
  • Yet another kind is training in the form of news/actually.
  • And the last kind is a training app, not for your own stuff but purely for training.

I only tested them quickly and unions talked the non-interesting. But they aren?t quite what I?m looking for. Maybe I should write one myself for training and guided reading.

    Any chance of seeing such a functionality implemented in the sample editor ?
    I tried It-alien's Morpher tool but it won't work with single-cycle waveforms for instance.
    Anybody else interested in this ?

    I'd love to mix different samples beyond just layering two sounds.
    But how does the sample morphing work? Is it a spectral analysis the gives a timbral mix like vocoding, an envelope analysis that matches attack and sustain from one sample to another or a signal convolution?

    Iran bans flights during call to Islamic prayer: report

    DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's parliament has banned on airplanes from flying in the country during the Azan call to Islamic prayer, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Wednesday.

    "According to the new directive, airplanes are banned from flying during Azan, especially during the call to morning prayers," Mehr quoted the spokesman for parliament's cultural committee Ali Taheri as saying.

    The head of the Aviation Organization, Hamid Reza Pahlevani, said aircraft will be allowed to take off 30 minutes after the call to the morning prayer so that passengers have the time "to carry out their religious duties", the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) reported.

    Iran has practiced Sharia law since its 1979 Islamic revolution. Hardliners have pressed for stricter enforcement of religious measures since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won office in 2005 promising a return to the revolution's values.

    Taheri also said serious attention will be given to observing the strict Islamic dress code for women working at airports or airline companies.

    Women in Iran are obliged to cover their hair and wear long, loose clothing to disguise their figures and protect their modesty. Violators can be flogged, fined or imprisoned.

    Former Braves Player Arrested On Battery Charge

    DULUTH, Ga. (AP) ? Former Atlanta Braves star center fielder Andruw Jones was free on bond after being arrested in suburban Atlanta early Tuesday on a battery charge, according to jail records.

    Around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to a call for a domestic dispute between Jones and his wife in Duluth.

    Gwinnett County Detention Center records say Jones was booked into the jail around 3:45 a.m. and had been released on $2,400 bond by 11 a.m.

    Once one of the premier players in the big leagues, Jones broke into the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1996 and won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1998-07 as their center fielder. He has 434 career home runs over the span of 17 seasons in the majors.

    Jones earlier this month signed a $3.5 million, one-year contract with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan?s Pacific League.

    Colleges help students clean up online profile

    2 hrs.

    BUFFALO, N.Y. --?Samantha Grossman wasn't always thrilled with the impression that emerged when people Googled her name.

    "It wasn't anything too horrible," she said. "I just have a common name. There would be pictures, college partying pictures, that weren't of me, things I wouldn't want associated with me."

    So before she graduated from Syracuse University last spring, the school provided her with an online tool that allowed her to put her best Web foot forward. Now when people Google her, they go straight to a positive image ? professional photo, cum laude degree and credentials ? that she credits with helping her land a digital advertising job in New York.

    "I wanted to make sure people would find the actual me and not these other people," she said.

    Syracuse, Rochester, and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore are among the universities that offer such online tools to their students free of charge, realizing ill-considered Web profiles of drunken frat parties, prank videos and worse can doom graduates to a lifetime of unemployment ? even if the pages are somebody else's with the same name.

    It's a growing trend based on studies showing that most employers Google prospective hires and nearly all of them won't bother to go past the first page of results. The online tools don't eliminate the embarrassing material, they just put the graduate's most flattering, professional profile front and center.

    "These students have been comfortable with the intimate details of their lives on display since birth," said Lisa Severy, president-elect of the National Career Development Association and director of career services at the University of Colorado-Boulder, which does not offer the service.

    "The first item on our 'five things to do before you graduate' list is 'clean up your online profile,'" she said. "We call it the grandma test ? if you don't want her to see it, you probably don't want an employer to, either."

    Managing your online presence
    After initially supplying BrandYourself accounts to graduating seniors, Syracuse University this year struck a deal with the company ? begun by a trio of alumni ? to offer accounts to all of its undergraduate and graduate students and alumni at no additional charge. About 25,000 people have access to it so far.

    "It's becoming more and more important for students to be aware of and able to manage their online presence, to be able to have strong, positive things come up on the Internet when someone seeks them out," said Mike Cahill, Syracuse's career services director.

    Online reputation repair companies have been around for at least a couple of years, often charging hundreds or thousands of dollars a year to arrange for good results on search engine result pages. BrandYourself, which normally charges $10 a month for an account, launched two years ago as a less expensive, do-it-yourself alternative after co-founder Pete Kistler ran into a problem with his own name.

    "He couldn't get an internship because he was getting mistaken for a drug dealer with the same name," said co-founder Patrick Ambron. "He couldn't even get calls back and found out that was the problem."

    An April survey of 2,000 hiring managers from CareerBuilder found nearly two in five companies use social networking sites to research job candidates and 11 percent said they planned to start. A third of the hiring managers who said they research candidates reported finding something like a provocative photo or evidence of drinking or drug use that cost the candidate a job.

    "We want our students and alumni actively involved in shaping their online presence," said Johns Hopkins Career Center Director Mark Presnell. Students are encouraged to promote positive, professional content that's easily found by employers, he said.

    BrandYourself works by analyzing search terms in a user's online profile to determine, for example, that a LinkedIn account might rank 25th on Google searches of the user's name. The program then suggests ways to boost that ranking. The software also provides alerts when an unidentified result appears on a user's first page or if any links rise or fall significantly in rank.

    A professional image
    Nati Katz, a public relations strategist, views his presence online as a kind of virtual storefront that he began carefully tending while in graduate school at Syracuse.

    Google his name and up pops his LinkedIn page with a listing of the jobs he's held in digital media and the "500+ connections" badge of honor. His Facebook account is adorned with Katz smiling over an elegant Thanksgiving dinner table. There are a couple of professional profiles and his Tumblr link, one after another on the first page of results and all highlighting his professional experience.

    Before his 2011 graduation, he took the university up on its offer of the BrandYourself account and said it gave him a leg up with potential employers and internship supervisors.

    "Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with anything negative under my profile," said Katz, who used the reputation website BrandYourself.com while pursuing dual degrees in public relations and international affairs. "What I was trying to form was really a nice, clean, neat page, very professional."?

    Pope leads a packed Christmas Eve Mass

    VATICAN CITY (AP) ? Heralded by the blare of trumpets, Pope Benedict XVI is presiding over Christmas Eve Mass in a St. Peter's Basilica packed with tourists, Italians and other faithful.

    The ceremony began at 10 p.m. (2100 GMT) Monday night instead of the traditional midnight start time. The schedule was changed at the Vatican years ago to let the pontiff rest before he is to deliver a Christmas Day speech hours later from the basilica's central balcony.

    A smiling Benedict, dressed in gold-colored vestments, waved to photo-snapping pilgrims and applauding church-goers as he glided up the center aisle toward the ornate main altar of the cavernous basilica on a wheeled platform guided by white-gloved aides. The platform is employed to save the 85-year-old pontiff's energy.

    As a men's choir chanted, Benedict sprinkled incense around the altar, and wished the faithful "peace" in Latin.

    A few hours before Mass, Benedict lit a Christmas peace candle and set it upon the windowsill of his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square.
