HEBRON, Conn. (AP) ? Dan Patrylak recently moved from Arizona back to New England and was looking forward to seeing snow on the ground again, happily picking up two new ice scrapers for his car at the start of his weekend.

Sections of the Northeast were bracing for an October snowfall Saturday as a storm moving up the East Coast was expected to combine with a cold air mass and dump anywhere from a dusting of snow to about 10 inches throughout the area.

"In Phoenix, it's 113 all summer long," the 79-year-old Patrylak, of Glastonbury, said Friday. "So, it just depends on where you are and what the weather is and you learn to accept that. Whatever it is, I'm going to be ready for it."

October snowfall records could be broken in parts of southern New England, especially at higher elevations, National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Simpson said. The October record for southern New England is 7.5 inches in Worcester in 1979.

Likely to see the most snow will be the Massachusetts Berkshires, the Litchfield Hills in northwestern Connecticut, southwestern New Hampshire and the southern Green Mountains. In Connecticut, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy warned residents that they could lose power due to the anticipated wet, heavy snow.

The storm could bring more than 6 inches of snow to parts of Maine beginning Saturday night. Parts of southern Vermont could receive more than a foot of wet snow Saturday into Sunday.

Communities inland will get hit hardest by the storm. Relatively warm water temperatures along the Atlantic seaboard could keep the snowfall totals much lower along the coast and in cities such as Boston, Simpson said. Temperatures should return to the mid-50s by midweek.

In Pennsylvania, 6 to 10 inches could fall at higher elevations, including the Laurel Highlands in the southwestern part of the state and the Pocono Mountains in the northeast. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh could see a coating.

"This is very, very unusual," said John LaCorte, a National Weather Service meteorologist in State College, Pa. "It has all the look and feel of a classic midwinter nor'easter. It's going to be very dangerous."

LaCorte said the last major widespread snowstorm to hit Pennsylvania this early was in 1972.

In New England, the first measurable snow usually falls in early December, and normal highs for late October are in the mid-50s.

"This is just wrong," said Dee Lund of East Hampton, who was at a Glastonbury garage getting four new tires for her car before a weekend road trip to New Hampshire.

Lund said that after last winter's record snowfall, which left a 12-foot snow bank outside her house, she'd been hoping for a reprieve.

But not everyone was lamenting the unofficial arrival of winter.

Steve Hoffman had expected to sell a lot of fall fertilizer this weekend at his hardware store in Hebron. Instead, he spent Friday moving bags of ice melting pellets.

"We're stocked up and we've already sold a few shovels," Hoffman said. "We actually had one guy come in and buy a roof rake."

Simpson cautioned that the early snowfall is not an indication of what the winter might bring.

"This doesn't mean our winter is going to be terrible," he said. "You can't get any correlation from a two-day event."

Jay-Z/Kanye Tour Is 'Theatrical,' DJ Green Lantern Says

Producer/DJ recounts his Watch the Throne concert experience, in his own words.
By DJ Green Lantern, as told to Rob Markman

DJ Green Lantern knows a thing or two about high-profile hip-hop tours. With a long production and DJing résumé that includes hitting the road with Eminem and Jay-Z, the Rochester, New York, disc jock took a trip down to Atlanta to see the second show of Hov and Kanye West's Watch the Tour Tour.

Friday night's opening show was a hit, and according to the Evil Genius, who was seated with his son in the second row, Saturday's second show didn't disappoint either. After the concert, Green Lantern checked in with MTV News to give his review. You are now watching the Throne:

Man, it was a real experience. They pulled out all the stops. They got a real crazy production, where it's these big cubes: One is in the middle of the arena, and the other one is right in front of the stage, and they both will be elevated into the air. The cubes have LEDs on 'em, so they're constantly changing colors and video. [Jay and Kanye] are standing on each [cube], and they rise and descend. At certain points in the show, Jay will be in the middle of the arena performing his verse to a song, and Kanye would be on the stage. It's very ill in that respect.

A lot of back-and-forth with their music in the sense of: a Kanye record, then a Jay record. Then they do a set together. They perform most of the album, most of Watch the Throne. It's a long show. It doesn't really seem long, but it's definitely two-plus hours. It's every hit imaginable between those guys, which is a lot. And a lot of stuff off the new album.

The video that goes to the songs, there are certain parts in the show that Jay and Kanye are really just watching the video. So you should watch the video too, because it has something to do with the song that's playing. It's dope.

From the video to the design, it's a lot of Kanye influence. You can see his taste in the set design and in the show, using his band, etc. ... Definitely a lot of Kanye. He gets deep with the artistic side, stuff that I can see, "OK, that's a Kanye thing."

The energy was crazy. They did "N-words in Paris" three times in a row. Three times in a row. Three times! Back-to-back-to-back. There's a piece at the end when they're going back and forth, song for song, and it's got, like, a girl theme to it. I don't want this to be a spoiler, so I'll just say the show is definitely a theatrical presentation.

You know how you saw them at the MTV [Video Music] Awards and they did "Otis"? It looked like they were having such a good time together and just hanging out, how they were just laughing and going on? That's definitely how the whole show was. But this was still literally the second show, so they're still getting the kinks out of it. But the chemistry is definitely 100 percent.

You just get so used to everybody bringing out guests [at their concerts], but when you sit through this show, you don't even feel that anybody was supposed to come out. They definitely didn't need anyone coming out. Being in Atlanta, a lot of people thought Tip might've came out for the "Paris (Remix)," but that wasn't the case. The whole arena was rocking, three times in a row. I saw [record exec] Steve Stoute say somewhere that the whole stadium turned into a club on that song, It definitely did.

I think it's definitely befitting of the two guys out on the tour, as far as the production level of what they're used to doing. Like Kanye, if you see his solo show, it's retarded. The last one he was doing, with the whole white theme onstage. And then Jay's last tour -- they've been upping the ante production-wise, video-wise, LEDs, and this is right there with it. It's on par with it, and they actually upped the ante with the big cubes and how they're using them. It's just ill. It's like those are the thrones, just rising, and they're rapping and it's like, "We are now watching the thrones."

I had my iPhone out, and I was recording during "H.A.M.," and I was going from the middle of the arena back to the stage. I was literally two rows from the stage, so the cube was right in my face. At that point, Kanye was on the stage, so you couldn't even see Kanye, because he's at the top of the cube, but I'm still going back and forth with the camera like, "Man, this is crazy!"

It's dope that they did that; it definitely adds showmanship, creativity, the whole theatrical element to it, and hip-hop needs that. Especially when we're going into an age where the show is paying the bills. The music is free, by and large, and hip-hop shows could really step up the production. If you look at this as an example, this could really motivate you and give you some inspiration if you're a hip-hop artist to say, "You know what? I'm gonna invest some money into a bigger stage show, a better stage show, and really give this show to the world and get booked more because of that."

I had a great time. I brought my [16-year old] son out with me. He said he just lost 10 pounds, sweating and jumping up and down. He had the time of his life. I brought him backstage, he met the guys, and it was a great night. Thumbs up on Watch the Throne live.

Dell Latitude ST tablet gets official with vague press release, dead links (video)

Remember that Latitude ST that Dell gave us a sneak peek at earlier in the week? Well it's slowly inching its way towards an official release, appearing on Dell's Corporate Blog early this morning. The Windows 7-based enterprise tablet is powered by an Intel Atom processor and includes a 10-inch multi-touch display with stylus, WiFi, mobile broadband options, front and rear webcams and a mic. There are also durability features like Gorilla Glass and a rubber bumper, enabling it to survive violent impacts with plush office carpeting. Port details are rather vague in the PR, though USB, HDMI and an SD card reader get their 15 seconds of fame in the promo video. There are also security features, like remote hard drive wipe, Microsoft Bitlocker support (this is a Windows 7 tablet, after all) and a Kensington Lock slot. Pricing details are absent and the product page isn't live quite yet (though that didn't stop Dell from linking to it from the blog post), but it looks like we could see these ship as soon as November 1st. Ready to get your tap and sketch on? Jump past the break for an enterprise montage, complete with doctors, educators and suit-sporting business pros.

Update: Looks like the specs have leaked out overseas, so we're guessing it'll get official soon enough.

Update 2: And here come the unboxing videos!

Population 'dashboards' offer new ways to visualize data

ScienceDaily (Oct. 26, 2011) ? Two interactive dashboards, created for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) with business analytics technology from SAP AG and data from the United Nations Population Division and other international sources, have been launched as part of the 7 Billion Actions campaign.

The aim of the dashboards (http://www.7billionactions.org/data), released on the first day of the "7-Day Countdown to 7 Billion," is to engage viewers in the demographic trends that are shaping our world. They can be used by policymakers, researchers, non-governmental organizations and UN staff to better understand the implications of population dynamics.

One of the population dashboards provides an enriched 'snapshot' of world population as it passes the 7 billion threshold -- with data disaggregated by regions, countries, age groups, births and deaths, along with different population projections (low, medium, high and 'constant fertility' variants) up until 2100. Bar graphs show the how the age structures of different countries and regions compare, and pie charts show percentages of different age groups.

A second dashboard visualizes the way that different social, economic and demographic variables -- such as fertility, educational enrollment, income and dependency ratios -- correlate and change over time. Both dashboards allow viewers to access the visualizations instantly on a laptop or mobile device anywhere in the world.

Private sector partners play a key role

"The milestone of 7 billion is a challenge, opportunity and a call to action to ensure that everyone can enjoy equal rights and dignity," said UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin. "Private sector partners like SAP can play a critical role, together with civil society, academia, governments and the United Nations system, to accelerate progress especially for women and girls in the developing world."

The UNFPA's global 7 Billion Actions (http://www.7billionactions.org/) campaign enlisted a diverse group of UN actors, corporations, organizations and individuals to inspire actions on key issues related to population growth. In close collaboration with other taskforce members, SAP pledged to develop technology solutions to help drive social innovation and global change. SAP delivered the two population dashboards using SAP? Crystal Dashboard Design software.

Together with the Churchill Club, SAP and UNFPA presented the population dashboards at an executive roundtable, titled Innovating for a World of 7 Billion. Following the roundtable discussion, teams of SAP employees, along with representatives from other Silicon Valley technology companies, universities and non-profit organizations, collaborated to find solutions that will enable youth in the least developed countries to enjoy greater access to secondary education, thereby empowering them to generate lasting economic benefit to themselves and their societies.

"The world's population reaching 7 billion people presents an excellent opportunity for technology to play an active role in the global commitment for a healthy and sustainable world," said Steve Lucas, general manager, Business Analytics and Technology, SAP. "We delivered dashboards that will help the organization build global awareness around the opportunities and challenges associated with a population of 7 billion people."

Individuals and organizations can engage with the 7 Billion Actions campaign on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/7billionactions).

Apple granted patent on slide to unlock, even though it existed 2 years before they invented it

The software patent system is totally askew.  We need to look no further to see this than the recent news that Apple was granted a patent on sliding to unlock a mobile device.  It's bad enough that a governing body somewhere actually believes that you or I aren't smart enough to come to the natural conclusion on our own (that's basically what a patent means -- it's a unique idea or process), but the fact that it existed on an old Windows CE device in 2005 was totally overlooked.

I present the Neonode N1m, as reviewed by none other than Tnkgrl.

Youtube link for mobile viewing

Jump to 4:00 if you're impatient.  Now you might ask two things -- why was this patent granted, and does "prior art" really mean anything?  The first is an easy answer, the folks who granted the patent probably never heard of the Neonode N1m (but I'm sure Apple did).  You can't blame them if they didn't know, even if they should have.  The second question is a bit more tricky.  Usually, if prior art can be proven, a patent is invalidated.  Proven is a tough word that means more than one thing to different people.  It should be easy to interpret, but that's not how the legal system in the US works. 

It did work as expected in the Netherlands though, and Samsung has already brought the lowly Neonode N1m in front of the court there -- and had Apple's claims over slide to unlock determined to be "trivial and likely invalid", and the court refused to consider them.  I'm sure HTC and Motorola, who are being sued over multiple gesture patents in the US, already have this particular Youtube video bookmarked.  If this patent stands, we all should just go back to this.

Patients' praise makes Jackson's doctor cry

LOS ANGELES?? Michael Jackson's doctor, a model of composure throughout his four-week trial, was moved to tears when five patients marched into court Wednesday to offer testimonials about his medical skills.

Dr. Conrad Murray maintained his typically calm demeanor until Ruby Mosley, a tiny gray-haired woman with a cane, struggled to the witness stand to defend him.

She spoke of knowing his father, also a doctor, in the poor community of Acres Home outside Houston and said she met Conrad Murray when he opened a clinic dedicated to his father's memory.

"If this man was greedy he never would have come to the community of Acres Home," she said, testifying that most residents are senior citizens on fixed incomes.

Murray's eyes brimmed with tears and he wiped them with a tissue for several moments after Mosley left the witness stand. She was the last of five character witnesses that Murray's attorneys called during the doctor's involuntary manslaughter trial. He has pleaded not guilty.

Authorities contend Murray gave Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the singer's bedroom on June 25, 2009, while treating him for a sleep disorder. Defense attorneys claim the singer gave himself the deadly dose.

Four other witnesses, all heart patients at Murray's cardiology offices in Houston and Las Vegas, expounded on his talents, saying he was a caring, thorough doctor who tended to their hearts and later became a friend.

"He is my best friend," said Gerry Causey, a former patient who drove from his current home in Cedar City, Utah, to testify.

"The reason I came here to help Dr. Murray is I know his love, his compassion, his feeling for his patients, every one of them and I just don't think he did what he's accused of doing."

Another witness, Andrew Guest of Las Vegas, looked at Murray across the courtroom and declared, "I'm alive today because of that man. That man sitting there is the best doctor I've ever seen."

Guest said Murray explained every aspect of his treatment and even called him at home on a weekend to see how he was doing.

On cross-examination, prosecutor David Walgren asked, "Would you agree that the level of care Dr. Murray gave you with a team to back him up ? every patient deserves that level of care?"

"Yes sir, I do," Guest said.

Walgren asked all the witnesses if they had ever been treated by Murray for a sleep disorder. They had not.

Walgren, suggesting the witnesses were biased, asked if anything could change their minds about Murray. They answered no. They also told of being notified by Murray in the spring of 2009 that he was taking a sabbatical and going to London. They said he never mentioned Jackson.

"I was a little bit in despair because I didn't know who was going to take care of me," said patient Lunette Sampson, who recently moved to San Diego from Las Vegas. Still, she said Murray gave her all of his phone numbers and said he would refer her to another doctor.

Under California law, character witnesses can be offered in an effort to create reasonable doubt of guilt.

Before the trial recessed for the day, Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor told Murray he soon plans to ask the defendant to state whether he wants to testify in his own defense.

The judge emphasized that the right to testify was his alone.

"It does not belong to your attorneys, to the prosecution or to me," Pastor said. "If you want to testify, you will testify even if someone may be counseling you not to testify. Do you understand?"

"Yes," Murray said softly.

He warned Murray that testifying would subject him to cross-examination and said, "I also want to advise you that you have an absolute constitutional right not to testify, the right to remain silent."

Murray's final witnesses, a pair of medical experts, were due on the witness stand Thursday.

Jackson takes a walk on the World Series wild side

/

By STEPHEN HAWKINS

updated 5:30 a.m. ET Oct. 24, 2011

Edwin Jackson has always had a bit of a wild streak. His latest one wound up costing him and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Jackson walked seven ? the most in a World Series game in 14 years ? in only 5 1-3 innings Sunday as the Texas Rangers beat St. Louis 4-0, evening the matchup at 2-all.

"It's just a matter of time before they catch up with you," Jackson said.

Jackson was pulled in the sixth after a pair of free passes. Texas led 1-0 at the time, but Mike Napoli hit a three-run homer on the first pitch from reliever Mitchell Boggs.

Jackson walked eight in his third major league start, at San Francisco in 2003. He matched that on June 25 last year, when he finished one shy of the record for walks in a no-hitter as he pitched Arizona over Tampa Bay 1-0.

The seven walks were three shy of the Series record, set by the New York Yankees' Bill Bevens in Game 4 in 1947 against the Brooklyn Dodgers. No one had walked seven in the Series since Florida's Livan Hernandez had eight in Game 5 in 1997 against Cleveland.

"I thought he pitched really well," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "He missed a few times, walked a couple guys, but he kept making pitches. Overall I give him a huge plus for keeping us in the game."

Jackson acknowledged it could be his last game for St. Louis.

"It's a possibility. You never know what's going to happen," he said. "There could be a time in Game 7 where I might have to come out."

HAMILTON DELIVERS: Josh Hamilton is still hurting ? and still contributing for the Texas Rangers.

Hamilton, who has acknowledged that he might be playing with a sports hernia, put Texas ahead to stay in Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night when he lined an RBI double into the right-field corner that sent Elvis Andrus home in the first inning.

"It was great to see that," teammate David Murphy said. "For what he's dealing with right now, he's playing through some pain, he's doing a great job. He's obviously a big-time presence in the middle of our lineup. He had a huge hit in the first inning. You take Josh Hamilton at 75 percent over most guys at 100 percent and he's showing why."

Rangers manager Ron Washington has steadfastly kept Hamilton in the lineup throughout the postseason. Hamilton remains third in the batting order, primarily playing center field, despite the grimaces and sometimes awkward swings for the slugger. Hamilton said he won't even get an MRI exam or any tests to confirm his injury until after the season.

Even though Hamilton hasn't homered in 57 postseason at-bats, his double Sunday night helped the Rangers win 4-0 to even the Series at two games each.

When Hamilton struck out swinging at an off-speed pitch in the fifth, he hopped around on one leg while going across the plate into the other batter's box. Two innings later, he had a hard liner to center for an out.

"Josh is making good contact," Rangers DH Michael Young said. "We're not worried about Josh. He's going to be fine."

Hamilton tied Game 2 with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning before Young followed with one of his own as the Rangers pulled out a 2-1 victory in St. Louis.

___

LAST ACT?: When C.J. Wilson starts Game 5 of the World Series, it could be his last outing for the Texas Rangers. The left-hander can become a free agent next month.

Wilson insists that he hasn't even "really thought" about what might happen after Monday night.

"I'm just thinking about the team and where we're at and being in the World Series obviously, like there's no extra series after this," Wilson said Sunday before Game 4. "There's no galaxy series or universe series or whatever. Just trying to win (Sunday) and win (Monday) and see what we can do back in St. Louis."

After going 16-7 with a 2.94 ERA during the regular season, Wilson is 0-3 with a 7.17 ERA in four postseason starts. He gave up three runs and walked six over 5 2-3 innings in losing Game 1 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

So, just how does Wilson block out questions about free agency?

"As soon as the question gets up, I start thinking about something else. I don't even pay attention to it," Wilson said. "I just picture myself like surfing or whatever, somewhere else. So as soon as you start talking and I hear the word free agency, I just go (hums), and I don't let it register. You've got to think about it this way, right: There's nothing I can do to control, like, what happens, what any team offers me or what any team wants from me or whatever.

"I'm obviously not going to be a second baseman or a closer or a right fielder. That's the only thing I'm certain about, is that I'm going to be a left-handed pitcher next year," he said. "Who it's for, I don't know yet."

___

JUST A BIT OUTSIDE: When former President George W. Bush threw the ceremonial first pitch before Game 4, he was a bit wide of home plate.

The ball ticked off the catcher's mitt and hit a photographer who was behind the plate.

The catcher was Nolan Ryan, the Hall of Famer and Rangers president who is more accustomed to throwing pitches than catching them. Texas manager Ron Washington and slugger Josh Hamilton were among those in the dugout who erupted in laughter when Ryan misplayed the ball.

"I should've gone with the regular glove," Ryan said with a chuckle.

While the photographer was OK and able to laugh it off, he's probably thankful that it was Bush and not Ryan who made the errant throw.

Ryan and Bush both had smiles on their faces when they posed for a picture.

Bush, the former managing partner of the Rangers, has been a regular visitor to games with Ryan in first-row seats near the Texas dugout.

___

ST. LOUIS SOUTH: Before the Cardinals lost Game 4 of the World Series at Rangers Ballpark on Sunday night, their NFL counterparts played across the street ? the St. Louis Rams lost 34-7 to the Dallas Cowboys.

Outfielders Josh Hamilton of the Rangers and Lance Berkman of the Cardinals came dressed in their uniforms and served as honorary captains for the pregame coin toss.

It was the second time in three years that a World Series game followed an NFL game in the same city on a day when both home teams were playing opposing teams from the same city, according to STATS LLC.

The last time was 2009, when the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles won at home against the New York Giants before the New Yankees defeated the Phillies in Game 4 of the World Series later that night.

There has been only one other similar World Series-NFL matchup. That was on the West Coast in 1988 when there was still NFL football in Los Angeles.

On the same day that the Los Angeles Dodgers won at home over Oakland in Game 2, the San Francisco 49ers won on the road against the Los Angeles Rams.

___

GRIFFEY HONORED: Ken Griffey Jr. was presented Sunday with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award.

Griffey was a 13-time All-Star in his 22 major league seasons for the Mariners (1989-99, 2009-10), Reds (2000-08) and White Sox (2008). He hit 630 career home runs, won 10 Gold Gloves and was the 1997 AL MVP.

It was also Griffey who initially had the idea to wear No. 42 on Jackie Robinson Day.

"He asked my permission to do that, and I of course granted it. It told me a lot, however, about Ken, about how much he understood the history, how much he understood the impact of Jackie Robinson," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "I've often gotten credit for something, but really he made a phone call to me on a Sunday night at home that I'll never forget. So with Ken leading the way, it began to catch on with other players."

Now all on-field personnel in baseball wear No. 42 once a season, a tradition Selig said will continue "at least as long as I'm around."

Deduct long-term care insurance | Bankrate.com

There are lots of good reasons to start a small business in retirement. Making a little money so you don't have to take as much out of your savings is one of them. But there are others.

I had lunch not long ago at a writers conference and sat next to a woman who was talking about the three books she was writing simultaneously. She said she had to schedule her time carefully so she had time to both golf and meet her deadlines.

My nosiness got the best of me, and I asked her how old she was. "Eighty-five," she said.

She's my hero. I intend to be her when I grow up.

Another retirement planning reason to start a small business is to help minimize what you have to give Uncle Sam.

Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, points out that "Tax advantaged long-term care insurance remains one of the few remaining significant tax-savings benefits especially meaningful for small business owners."

Thanks to the IRS response to the federal cost of living adjustment, the amount you can deduct as a business expense for long-term care insurance has risen to the levels below. Whether your business is buying long-term care insurance just for you or for you and your spouse, the ability to deduct the amount you pay can significantly reduce what LTC insurance actually costs out of pocket. And that makes doing a little writing on the side or selling used golf balls even more worthwhile.

Visiting The Gates Of Hell All Over The World (PHOTOS)

Grandma may be breathless over her trip to the Holy Land and your cousin may want to go snowboarding at Heavenly, but most people receive more personal recommendations to go to one place more than any other. That place is, of course, Hell.

Unfortunately, the people who issue the common directive to "Go to Hell," are normally woefully unspecific about how to get there. It turns out that Hell, like Carnegie Hall, is accessible to people willing to follow two very different sets of directions. The easiest way to get there is to lie, cheat, steal, fornicate, blaspheme and wait for the inevitable. The problem with this approach is that you might not get a round-trip ticket. The second way is a bit more complicated: Find the gates to Hell and walk right through.

Legend has long held that there are passageways that lead to the underworld. In the spirit of Halloween, we've found 10 possible entrances to the ultimate pit of despair ranging from the innocuous (a lovely town in Norway) to the decidedly warmer (a perpetual fire in Turkmenistan).

In case Virgil isn't available, we would also suggest a little preparatory reading. Hell, rather unsurprisingly, has an excellent website where you can make reservations for some excellent acts and there are also online and print guides to the only neighborhood that never gentrifies.

For maximum effect, play some Led Zeppelin while clicking through our guide to the ultimate bonfire.

Paul drops $2M in new TV ads to criticize rivals (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Republican presidential contender Ron Paul is opening his wallet for $2 million of television ads that criticize rivals Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Herman Cain for supporting federal spending while touting his own proposal for drastically shrinking Washington's bottom line.

Paul on Thursday unveiled a 60-second ad that cast the White House hopefuls as spend-happy politicians who are not true conservatives. A second ad, also set to run for two weeks in the early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, promotes Paul's plan to cut $1 trillion from the budget, eliminate five Cabinet-level agencies and stop spending U.S. tax dollars abroad on wars or aid.

Further seeking to criticize his rivals, Paul's campaign has been mailing voters saying Romney, Perry and Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota are beholden to unions.

"The sad truth is, Dr. Paul's opponents have records that leave much to be desired," the campaign said in an anti-labor mailing in South Carolina.

Paul, a physician who previous sought the Libertarian and Republican nominations for the White House, has tapped his fervent supporters' imaginations and wallets as he attempts to claw his way to the top of the GOP contest. His latest fundraising push brought in more than $2.3 million in recent days. His campaign earlier had announced that he had raised $8 million during the last three months and had banked $3.5 million for the fundraising quarter that started Oct. 1.

That leaves Paul in a position to shape the Republican debate, even if the 76-year-old Air Force veteran seems unlikely to win the nomination. Four years ago, he sought the GOP nomination while talking about economic policy, liberty and the Federal Reserve. Since then, the tea party has risen and seized on those issues, and some regard Paul as one of the movement's godfathers.

His international policy positions ? he opposes all foreign aid, even to U.S. ally Israel, and is indifferent toward Iran ? puts him outside the mainstream of GOP thinking. His antagonism toward the Federal Reserve has made some nervous, and his opposition to a federal ban on same-sex marriages riles social conservatives.

Yet the figure once seen as a fringe candidate and a nuisance to the establishment is energizing the party's libertarian wing, which is looking with disdain at the other candidates' previous support for the Wall Street bailout of 2008 and Democrats' economic stimulus plan of 2009.

Paul is none too pleased with his rivals. He doesn't appear to be staging his criticism as a proxy for a favorite candidate and has shown no willingness to spare any of his rivals for the nomination, including Cain, the former pizza executive who has risen to the top tier of some polls.

"If he's the flavor of the month," said Gary Howard, Paul's spokesman, "he still deserves to be talked about."

In one letter, the campaign said Republicans could not nominate Perry, "the governor of Texas, who gave in-state tuition benefits to illegal immigrants."

Paul's son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, another tea party favorite, signed the message.

"Supporting more of the status quo's defenders ? whether they are Democrats or Republicans ? will surely deepen our debt crisis and permanently cripple our economy," Rand Paul wrote.

Rangers' Cruz comes up short

/

By RONALD BLUM

updated 12:56 a.m. ET Oct. 20, 2011

ST. LOUIS - Nelson Cruz saw the ball slicing off Allen Craig's bat, sprinted to the foul line and slid, desperately trying to run down the tailing liner.

"It was close," the right fielder said.

He came up just short, and so did the Texas Rangers.

Craig's pinch-hit drive landed an inch or two in front of Cruz's outstretched glove for a go-ahead single off reliever Alexi Ogando in the sixth inning, and that was the difference as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Rangers 3-2 Wednesday night in a chilly World Series opener

"Baseball is like that. Inches," Cruz said.

On a night when all the runs were driven in with opposite-field hits to right, Lance Berkman put St. Louis ahead with a two-run single in the fourth against C.J. Wilson.

Rangers catcher Mike Napoli watched in dejection as Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday scored, but a few minutes later celebrated in the top of the fifth when he tied it 2-all with a two-run homer off Chris Carpenter.

"A tough loss," Napoli said. "But we shake things off pretty good."

Indeed, the two-time AL champions haven't lost consecutive games since Aug. 23-25 against Boston.

The high-octane Rangers had their chances. But Texas was 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position after rolling up a .302 average (19 for 63) in those situations during the AL championship series against Detroit.

"I don't think we did the job when we needed," Cruz said. "Men in scoring position is when you need to deliver."

Game 1 has been an indicator of success in recent decades: The winner has captured seven of the last eight titles, 12 of the last 14 and 19 of the last 23. In addition, the team hosting Game 1 has won 20 of the last 25 World Series.

Last year, when the Rangers made their first World Series appearance, they lost the opener to San Francisco 11-7, and the Giants went on to win the title in five games.

Now it's up to Colby Lewis, who starts for the Rangers on Thursday night against Jaime Garcia. Lewis will try to send the Series back to Texas tied at a game apiece.

Taking over as ace after Cliff Lee left to sign with Philadelphia, Wilson dropped to 0-3 with a 7.17 ERA in four postseason starts this year, allowing three runs and four hits in 5 2-3 innings with a career-high six walks ? two of them intentional.

He prepared for the start by getting in a tank of liquid nitrogen at 295 degrees below zero ? the treatment is said to aid recovery ? but on a blustery, 49-degree night his walks and a key wild pitch got him into some hot spots.

He fell behind after bouncing a pitch in the fourth that hit Pujols on the left foot. That started a streak of three bad pitches in a four-pitch span.

Wilson tried to go inside on Holliday but left the next one over the plate, and Holliday hit an opposite-field double into the right-field corner as Pujols took third.

Then, with the count 1-0 to Berkman, Wilson tried to go inside again but allowed a cutter to drift over the plate. Berkman went the other way and chopped the ball over first base and into right field as the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead. Wilson shook his head back and forth as he walked back to the mound.

"A cutter kind of down and away. He inside-outed it, and it took a weird bounce," Wilson said. "It's not like I'm sitting there serving up home runs. I gave up a couple of singles or whatever. It's just the way the ball bounces."

That lead was short-lived.

Adrian Beltre singled leading off the fifth and, one out later, Napoli hit a no-doubt drive about 10 rows deep into the right-field seats for his second home run of the postseason. A fired-up Carpenter had escaped a two-on, none-out jam in the second when Napoli hit into an inning-ending double play.

Pujols had Cardinals fans cheering in the top of the sixth when he slid to stop Michael Young's grounder behind first and threw to Carpenter for the out, stranding Ian Kinsler at third.

Then in the bottom half, NLCS MVP David Freese hit an opposite-field double to right with one out and went to third on a wild pitch. Wilson struck out Yadier Molina, then pitched carefully to Nick Punto and walked him on four pitches.

"The plan was not to give in," Wilson said. "I know they had either Carpenter coming up or a pinch hitter, and with Ogando warming up behind me, I have confidence that he's going to come in and get that guy out."

Ogando relieved, and with many of the red-clad Cardinals fans standing and waving white towels, Craig stroked a 1-2 pitch down the right field line. Cruz thought that when he slid past the grass onto the dirt, the friction slowed him down.

"I think the dirt caught me," he said.

Carpenter became the first St. Louis starter to reach the sixth inning since the division series. He got the win, allowing two runs and five hits in six innings with four strikeouts and one walk. Fernando Salas, Marc Rzepczynski, Octavio Dotel, Arthur Rhodes and Jason Motte followed, with Motte getting three straight outs for his fifth postseason save to complete three innings of one-hit relief.

With one out in the ninth, Beltre was called out on a grounder to third on a ball that appeared to bounce off his foot and could have been ruled foul. The call didn't go the Rangers' way.

It was that kind of night.

"The pinch hitter got it done, and ours didn't," manager Ron Washington said. "Got to give them credit, they beat us. We didn't give that game away tonight."

NOTES: Craig had the first go-ahead RBI by a pinch-hitter in the Series since Wade Boggs' bases-loaded walk for the Yankees in Game 4 against Atlanta in 1996. ... The NL is seeking its first consecutive World Series titles since winning four in a row from 1979-82 (Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and St. Louis). ... It was the earliest date the World Series started since 2003.

Collinsworth: It's fun to be Bengals fan again

Palmer trade great for Raiders' season, but it's even better for Cincinnati's future

updated 12:56 p.m. ET Oct. 19, 2011

Cris Collinsworth

Have you ever heard the stories of people who go to garage sales and end up buying some work of art worth millions? The Bengals just accomplished the opposite ? they sold an old table they didn't want for millions.

Cincinnati got at least a first- and second-round pick for a guy who they didn't even want any more. Andy Dalton has brought a youthful energy to this offense that didn't exist when Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco and T.O. were doing whatever they were doing in Cincinnati.

There was a time I thought Palmer was going to be the next Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, but that was before he hurt his knee and elbow. He was never the same guy after Kimo Von Oelhoffen lunged into his knee during the Bengals-Steelers playoff game.

Palmer was as fed up with the Bengals' losing ways. So were most of the Bengals' players Cincinnati fans, but none of us left. Cincinnati may not be California, but it is a proud town with fans who wanted no part of a quarterback who had bailed on them.

If Palmer had come to training camp, the Bengals would have been forced to trade him or lose the fans they had remaining. Most people in Cincinnati just assumed that Mike Brown would do what he always does, take a stand and not budge even if it ultimately hurt the team. He had a point to make that nobody forces his hand. A Carson Palmer trade was just assumed to have died a Mike Brown death. Then a sequence of events occurred that was as unlikely as this trade.

• First, rookie quarterback Andy Dalton got the Bengals off to a 4-2 start and proved that he was a worthy successor.
• Second, Al Davis passed away making Hue Jackson the de facto football decision maker in Oakland.
• Third, the Raiders started 4-2. They appear to be very much in the playoff hunt after a long drought.
• Fourth, Jason Campbell was injured on the weekend before the NFL trade deadline.
• And fifth, Jackson had a relationship with Palmer from his days as an assistant in Cincinnati and thus had some working knowledge of Jackson's offense. So the Raiders get a possible savior for their season, and the Bengals get hope for their franchise.

Hope. What a glorious word.

One other factor that won't be talked about much but is notable is that the Bengals will be forced to pay a league-mandated minimum amount of money on player salaries in a couple of years. That salary floor is not much below the salary cap maximum.

So not only will the Bengals have multiple draft choices, they will have money that they will have to spend on their own players or free agents (Thank you, DeMaurice Smith and the players' union).

I woke up this morning a Bengals fan and season-ticket holder, I go to bed tonight a Bengals fan dreaming a different dream......WHO DEY!!!!!

Basic phones lift Nokia to surprise Q3 profit (Reuters)

HELSINKI (Reuters) ? The world's largest cellphone maker Nokia reported a smaller than expected fall in third quarter profits as price cuts and new models lifted sales of its basic cellphones in key markets like India.

Shares in Nokia jumped on the surprise profit number, up 8.7 percent to 4.67 euros, their highest level since May.

Nokia, which is preparing to fight its way into the high end of the smartphone market with the launch of its first Windows phones next week, said it sold 89.8 million basic mobile phones compared to expectations for 67.0-89.7 million.

Protecting its position in emerging markets like India is crucial for Nokia as rivals like Apple push in with cheaper smartphones.

The struggling Finnish handset maker reported third quarter underlying earnings per share of 0.03 euros, compared with a forecast loss of 0.01 euros in a Reuters poll of analysts and a profit of 0.14 euros a year ago.

"The results were clearly better than expected. The mobile phones volumes shipped had the biggest role, also the smartphone volumes were on a higher level than expected," said Swedbank analyst Jari Honko.

"It seems that Nokia is further into a recovery, or rebound, than had been expected. Fourth quarter guidance signals that this trend will continue," Honko said.

2012 QUESTION

Nokia forecast fourth quarter underlying operating profit margin of 1-5 percent in its key phone business.

"I think that it's maybe a stronger finish to the year than some expected, but the real test will happen during 2012," said WestLB analyst Thomas Langer. "And this is the reason why we remain skeptics of the stock. I think investors are falling into a valuation trap."

Nokia, left in the dust by Apple and Google in the booming smartphone market, will introduce its first new model using Microsoft's Windows Phone platform next week in London.

It unveiled the Microsoft deal in February and has since struggled with a fast decline in smartphone sales as it has tried to sell models using its old Symbian platform.

Its smartphone sales dropped 38 percent from a year ago to 16.8 million phones, slightly ahead of analysts average forecast of 15.9 million, but within a wide range of estimates.

Apple's iPhone sales dropped to 17.1 million in the September quarter, disappointing investors, but were still head of Nokia and the new iPhone 4S is breaking Apple's previous sales records.

With Microsoft software, Nokia hopes to gain the kind of attention Apple and Google have attracted from software developers that enrich their devices.

So far Windows Phone's success has been limited -- its market share is just 2-3 percent, compared with around 50 percent for Google's Android and around 15 percent share for Apple.

Antiviral drugs may slow Alzheimer's progression

ScienceDaily (Oct. 17, 2011) ? Antiviral drugs used to target the herpes virus could be effective at slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a new study shows.

The University of Manchester scientists have previously shown that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) is a risk factor for Alzheimer's when it is present in the brains of people who have a specific genetic risk to the disease.

AD is an incurable neurodegenerative condition affecting about 18 million people worldwide. The causes of the disease or of the abnormal protein structures seen in AD brains -- amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles -- are completely unknown.

The Manchester team has established that the herpes virus causes accumulation of two key AD proteins -- ?-amyloid (A?) and abnormally phosphorylated tau (P-tau) -- known to be the main components of plaques and tangles respectively. Both proteins are thought by many scientists to be involved in the development of the disease.

"We have found that the viral DNA in AD brains is very specifically located within amyloid plaques," said Professor Ruth Itzhaki, who led the team in the University's Faculty of Life Sciences. "This, together with the production of amyloid that the virus induces, suggests that HSV1 is a cause of toxic amyloid products and of plaques.

"Our results suggest that HSV1, together with the host genetic factor, is a major risk for AD, and that antiviral agents might be used for treating patients to slow disease progression."

Currently available antiviral agents act by targeting replication of HSV1 DNA, and so the researchers considered that they might be successful in treating AD only if the accumulation of ?-amyloid and P-tau accumulation caused by the virus occurs at or after the stage at which viral DNA replication occurs.

"If these proteins are produced independently of HSV1 replication, antivirals might not be effective," said Professor Itzhaki. "We investigated this and found that treatment of HSV1-infected cells with acyclovir, the most commonly used antiviral agent, and also with two other antivirals, did indeed decrease the accumulation of ?-amyloid and P-tau, as well as decreasing HSV1 replication as we would expect.

"This is the first study investigating antiviral effects on AD-like changes and we conclude that since antiviral agents reduce greatly ?-amyloid and P-tau levels in HSV1-infected cells, they would be suitable for treating Alzheimer's disease. The great advantage over current AD therapies is that acyclovir would target only the virus, not the host cell or normal uninfected cells. Further, these agents are very safe and are relatively inexpensive.

"Also, by targeting a cause of Alzheimer's disease, other viral damage, besides ?-amyloid and P-tau, which might be involved in the disease's pathogenesis, would also be inhibited.

"The next stage of our research -- subject to funding -- will focus on finding the most suitable antiviral agent -- or combination of two agents that operate via different mechanisms -- for use as treatment. We then need to investigate the way in which the virus and the genetic risk factor interact to cause the disease, as that might lead to further novel treatments.

"Eventually, we hope to begin clinical trials in humans but this is still some way off yet and again will require new funding."

The study, carried out with Dr Matthew Wozniak and other colleagues in the Faculty of Life Sciences, is published in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) One journal.
