Psychotherapy via internet as good as if not better than face-to-face consultations
[unable to retrieve full-text content]Does psychotherapy via the Internet work? Clinical researchers have studied whether online psychotherapy and conventional face-to-face therapy are equally effective in experiments. Based on earlier studies, researchers assumed that the two forms of therapy were on a par. Not only was their theory confirmed, the results for online therapy even exceeded their expectations.
India to announce steps to narrow current account deficit: Rajan
NEW DELHI |
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India will announce measures to help narrow the current account deficit in the next few weeks, including looking at ways of bringing in foreign investments, Chief Economic Adviser Raghuram Rajan said at a news briefing on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the RBI left interest rates unchanged as it supports a battered rupee but said it will roll back recent liquidity tightening measures when stability returns to the currency market.
India posted a record current account deficit of 4.8 percent of gross domestic product in the year ended in March, which has been a key source of weakness in the rupee.
The benchmark 10-year bond yield fell two basis points to 8.12 percent after Rajan's comments.

Baseball: Here's a look at the all-time Dodgers and Yankees teams
From Babe Ruth to Lou Gehrig to Sandy Koufax to Don Drysdale, when it comes to the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers it's a who's who of baseball history, Hall of Famers and World Series heroes.
Easily the two-most storied teams in baseball history and inter-league rivals dating back to their days sharing a home in New York City, when you think about the Yankees and Dodgers the history and names roll off through your head like an elegant Vin Scully sentence.
Or perhaps Mel Allen?
When it comes to the Dodgers and Yankees, even their radio and television voices are giants of the game.
With that in mind - and with the Yankees back in Los Angeles to play the Dodgers - we decided to match the greats of the greats of both franchises with the All-Time Yankees and Dodgers teams.
And if you want to know the power of it all, consider that Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio isn't a starter for the Yankees and Clayton Kershaw can't crack the starting five pitching rotation for the Dodgers.
Yet, anyway.
So here it is, the All-Time match up of All-Time baseball matchups. The All-Time Yankees and Dodgers clubs.
ALL-TIME YANKEES TEAM
LF Bob Meusel
Another member of the 1920s Murderers Row Yankees, Meusel batted fifth behind Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. In 1925, he became the second Yankee, after Ruth, to lead the AL in the following offensive categories: home runs (33), runs batted in (138) and
extra-base hits (79). Meusel batted .313 or better in seven of his first eight seasons, finishing with a .309 career average.Backup: Rickey Henderson
CF Mickey Mantle
It's difficult putting Mantle ahead of Joe DiMaggio, but you can't overlook Mantle's 536 career home runs and the 12 World Series he played in. The 1956 American League Triple Crown winner is right there with Willie Mays as the greatest center fielder of all time.
Backup: Joe DiMaggio
RF Babe Ruth
Hands down, the greatest player of all time. Over his remarkable 22-year career, he slugged 714 home runs with a .342 batting average and a .690 career slugging percentage. Ruth hit 40 or more home runs 11 times.
Backup: Dave Winfield
1B Lou Gehrig
Not just the greatest Yankees first baseman -- quite simply the greatest first baseman of all time. Gehrig was a .340 lifetime hitter and recorded a remarkable 13 straight seasons with 100 or more RBIs and runs. Oh, and he also played in 2,130 consecutive games.
Backup: Don Mattingly
2B Tony Lazzeri
A key member of six pennant winners, Lazzeri was a five-time .300 hitter and drove in more than 100 runs seven times. Often overlooked by his high-profile teammates during the Yankees' Murderers Row teams through the 1920s, Lazzeri was a star in his own right.
Backup: Robinson Cano
3B Graig Nettles
The Yankees' longtime, and often controversial, third baseman during the Bronx Zoo era, Nettles wasn't much of a hitter for average but he was a potent home run hitter and one of the greatest fielders of his era. A seven-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion.
Backup: Alex Rodriguez
SS Derek Jeter
One of the great players of his era, Jeter has been the consistent, clutch stalwart in the Yankees infield for nearly two decades. The Yankees' longtime captain, he's been as good in the postseason as he is during the regular season -- if not better -- and was a key figure in five Yankees World Series titles. A career .313 batting average and 3,307 hits.
Backup: Phil Rizzuto
C Yogi Berra
You can't do much better than catch for 10 World Series champions, including five straight from 1949-1953. His career home run to strikeout rate -- 358 to 414 -- is one of the remarkable stats of all time. Berra is a three-time MVP and played in 15 All-Star games.
Backup: Bill Dickey
PITCHERS
Lefty Gomez: A five-time World Series champion and seven-time All-Star, Ford had a perfect 6-0 record in the Fall Classic.
Whitey Ford: Pitched in 11 World Series, won the 1961 Cy Young Award and has a 2.75 career ERA.
Ron Guidry: A three-time 20-game winner, Guidry won the 1978 Cy Young Award and has a .651 career winning percentage.
Andy Pettitte: A key part of the Yankees' most recent run of dominance, Pettitte is a five-time World Series champion and continues to be a dependable starter for the Bronx Bombers.
Red Ruffing: Pitched 15 seasons for the Yankees and strung together four consecutive 20-win seasons from 1936 to 1939.
Closer: Mariano Rivera: The greatest closer of all time. Rivera comes into tonight's game with 641 career saves and a 2.20 lifetime ERA. Just as remarkable, he has a 0.70 postseason ERA and 42 saves while winning five World Series titles. Backup: Sparky Lyle.
ALL-TIME DODGERS TEAM
LF Dusty Baker
In eight years with the Dodgers, he hit 144 home runs with 586 RBIs and also hit five home runs with 21 RBIs over 40 postseason games.
Backup: Pedro Guerrero
CF Duke Snider
A seven-time All-Star, Snider is the Dodgers' greatest power hitter of all time, slugging 389 home runs with 1,271 RBIs -- both still team records -- and completing five consecutive seasons with 40 or more home runs -- also a franchise record. Snider finished with 11 career home runs in the World Series and had two series in which he hit four home runs.
Backup: Zack Wheat
RF Carl Furillo
One of the great two-way stars in club history, Furillo was regarded as the greatest throwing right fielder of his time. But the two-time All-Star was also a career .299 hitter -- winning the 1953 batting title -- and finished with 192 home runs and 1,058 RBIs during the great Dodgers' run in the 1950s.
Backup: Babe Herman
1B Steve Garvey
An eight-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner, Garvey was the anchor to the Dodgers' longtime infield through the 1970s and early 1980s. Finished with a .302 career batting average with 211 home runs and 992 RBIs. His 10 hits in the 1981 World Series were one of the subtle reasons the Dodgers prevailed over the Yankees.
Backup: Gil Hodges
2B Jackie Robinson
The 1947 Rookie of the Year and 1949 National League MVP, Robinson was a six-time All-Star and one of the game's all-time great all-around players. Finished with 137 home runs, 197 stolen bases and 734 RBIs.
Backup: Junior Gilliam
SS Pee Wee Reese
A 10-time All-Star, Reese was the common theme during the great Dodgers teams from 1941 to 1956 while chipping in with his stellar defense, hitting and baserunning. Finished with 46 hits in the World Series and had eight in 1955, when the Dodgers finally beat the Yankees.
Backup: Maury Wills
3B Ron Cey
A six-time All-Star and 1981 tri-World Series MVP, Cey finished with 228 home runs and 842 RBIs. Over a seven-year stretch from 1974 to 1980, Cey produced 25 or more home runs and 85 or more RBIs.
Backup: Pedro Guerrero
C Roy Campanella
A three-time National League Most Valuable Player and eight-time All-Star, Campanella finished with 242 home runs and 856 RBIs, and was the catcher for five pennant winners. Was one of the game's great players between 1949-57 before a car accident in 1958 left him paralyzed.
Backup: Mike Piazza
PITCHERS
Sandy Koufax
It can be argued Koufax is the greatest pitcher of all time. He compiled a 165-87 record with 2,396 strikeouts and a 2.67 ERA. He won three Cy Young Awards, was a six-time All-Star and threw four no-hitters from 1962 to 1966. Koufax was a brilliant World Series pitcher, allowing just six earned runs in seven starts with 61 strikeouts. In the process, he led the Dodgers to two World Series wins.
Don Drysdale
An eight-time All-Star and 1962 Cy Young Award winner, Drysdale went 3-0 in four World Series starts while tossing two complete games. And through most of the 1960s he averaged 40 starts per season, consistently approached 300 innings and well over 200 strikeouts.
Orel Hershiser
The 1988 National League Cy Young winner, NLCS MVP and World Series MVP, Hershiser finished his career with a 135-107 record with a 3.12 ERA and 1,456 strikeouts. And in 1988, he had one of the greatest years of all time, while winning 23 games -- including eight shutouts and 15 complete games -- and recording an astonishing 59 straight scoreless innings.
Don Newcombe
The 1956 National League MVP and Cy Young Award winner, Newcombe finished with a 123-66 record with 913 strikeouts and a 3.51 ERA. A three-time 20-game winner, Newcombe won 27 games in 1956.
Fernando Valenzuela
The 1981 Cy Young and Rookie of the Year winner, Valenzuela burst onto the scene as a 20-year-old and went on to finish with a 141-116 record with 1,759 strikeouts and a 3.31 ERA. In 1981, he went 3-1 in the postseason as the Dodgers won it all, topping the Yankees in the World Series.
Closer: Eric Gagne
A three-time All-Star and 2003 Cy Young Award winner, Gagne had one of the most storied three-year runs in baseball history by saving 152 games -- including a major-league record 84 straight at one point.

Schierholtz's HR in 9th lifts Cubs over Giants 1-0
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Nate Schierholtz's recent power surge might not be enough to turn the Chicago Cubs season around. It sure is making the year a lot easier for the slugging outfielder to handle.
Getting a game-winning home run against his former club? Well, that's just icing on the cake.
Cheered in every at-bat this series by the crowd at AT&T Park, Schierholtz homered off ex-teammate Sergio Romo with one out in the ninth inning to lift the Cubs to a 1-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.
"I can't really describe it, but it felt good," Schierholtz said. "I always loved playing here. I love the fans here. I couldn't ask for a better reception."
Dropped to sixth in the Cubs' lineup after batting cleanup a night earlier in the club's first game after trading Alfonso Soriano, Schierholtz worked a full count off Romo (3-6) before hitting a towering blast into the right field stands to hand Romo his second loss in as many games.
Schierholtz played with San Francisco from 2007-2012 before getting traded to Philadelphia in exchange for Hunter Pence midway through last season. He signed with Chicago as a free agent in the offseason and had been bothered by shoulder problems earlier in the year before heating up over the past two weeks.
The home run off Romo was Schierholtz's 14th of the season and third on the team's current 10-game road trip. Seven of his 10 hits on the road trip have been for extra bases.
"It's pretty nice to watch," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "It's obviously huge for him to do that to his old team."
Starlin Castro added two hits for Chicago, which is 18-13 in its last 31 games.
Madison Bumgarner pitched eight shutout innings for San Francisco but left without a decision. The World Series champs have lost six of seven and are a season-high 11 games under .500.
Since May 13, the Giants have the worst record in the majors at 23-42.
"We're in a tough rut now and we know it," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "We just have to keep working and trying. We couldn't even get a cheap hit and we got what we deserve."
Pedro Strop (1-0) pitched one inning for the win despite making two mental mistakes that helped the Giants load the bases with no outs in the eighth. Strop twice made late throws on sacrifice bunt attempts but got out of it when Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval grounded into forceouts at home and Hunter Pence struck out.
"That was one of our more exciting innings of the year," Sveum said. "We were going to win it or lose it there."
Kevin Gregg worked the ninth for his 21st save to complete the five-hitter, getting pinch-hitter Tony Abreu to ground into a 3-2-3 double play after San Francisco loaded the bases with one out.
The Cubs won their second straight in this three-game set after dropping three of four to the Giants at Wrigley Field in April. Chicago scored two unearned runs in the ninth inning to beat San Francisco 3-2 on Friday.
This one went down to the wire again.
Chicago only got one runner to second base until Schierholtz's homer.
That was enough to hold off the slumping Giants, who were shut out for the ninth time this season.
Both starters were dominant but left without a decision.
Chicago rookie Chris Rusin needed just 27 pitches to get through the third inning and didn't allow a baserunner until Pence's one-out walk in the fifth. One batter later Joaquin Arias grounded a single to center to end the no-hit bid.
Rusin also worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the sixth and got help in the seventh when first baseman Anthony Rizzo made a leaping stab of Brandon Belt's high liner to strand Pence at third base after he led off the inning with a ground-rule double.
Bumgarner was equally effective until leaving for a pinch hitter in the eighth.
The Giants' most consistent starter this season and an All-Star, Bumgarner overcame a pair of errors behind him and pitched out of a two-on, two-out jam when Andres Torres made a diving catch on Schierholtz's sinking liner in the sixth. He finished with seven strikeouts and two walks.
NOTES: The Giants committed two more errors and lead the majors with 76 this season. ... Giants RHP Ryan Vogelsong threw 45 pitches over 2 2-3 innings in his second rehabilitation outing after going on the disabled list with a fractured right hand. Vogelsong will accompany the big league club on a trip to the White House on Monday before joining Double-A Richmond for his next appearance. ... RHP Tim Lincecum (5-10, 4.73 ERA), who allowed eight runs on Monday in his first start since throwing a no-hitter, pitches for the Giants in the series finale. ... LHP Travis Wood (6-7, 2.95) goes for Chicago and is winless in four career starts against San Francisco. ... Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti rejoined the club after having elbow surgery Wednesday.

LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL: Encino 11-under all-star Robinson Peete following in father Rodney's footsteps
Son of former USC, NFL quarterback is only 10, but has been instrumental in team reaching first Southern California championship series.
Former USC and NFL quarterback Rodney Peete is an assistant coach for Encino's 11-under baseball all-stars, with his son Robinson playing a significant role in the team reaching the Southern California best-of-three championship series, which begins Saturday against Allied Gardens in El Cajon. (Michael Owen Baker / Staff Photographer)
Rodney Peete remains as intensely competitive today as he was throwing touchdown passes at USC back in the 1980s.
His positive attitude and spirit is contagious and even his son's Little League team has caught the "winning fever."
The proud father of four has devoted much of his time this summer to coaching his son Robinson's 11-under Little League all-star team from Encino, which is enjoying a historic season.
Encino beat Thousand Oaks 17-0 to win the North sub-divisional baseball championship Thursday in Quartz Hill and tonight it begins a best-of-three series against Allied Gardens in El Cajon for the Southern California championship -- the furthest a team can advance at that level.
Rodney quarterbacked the Trojans to two Rose Bowls and went on to play 16 years in the NFL, retiring in 2005 after a three-year stint with the Carolina Panthers.
He was hardly a one-sport athlete, however. Peete was also an All-Pac-10 third baseman at USC and was drafted four times by Major League teams before deciding to make football his career instead.
"That was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make," Rodney recalls. "I love both sports, I'd slipped in the (NFL) draft and the Oakland A's were actively pursuing me. At the end of the day, having an opportunity to play quarterback in the NFL was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."
Now, Rodney is imparting his knowledge of America's pastime to Robinson, the second oldest of his three sons and one of the two
10-year-olds on Encino's 11-under squad.After hitting 15 home runs in the 9-10 age group last year, Robinson moved up to the Major (11-12) division this spring and his Cardinals lost in the championship game to the Braves, coached by 11-under all-stars manager Kevin Dicker.
"There's nothing like the feeling you get throwing a touchdown pass or winning a big game, but I get just as much joy watching my son play," Rodney said. "I wake up super early on game days and I get more excited than him sometimes."
Robinson has made an impact since joining the all-stars and Thursday's game was an example. With Rodney shouting encouragement from the first-base box, Robinson went 3 for 3 at the plate, including a solo homer to left field in the first inning and a double in the second.
He hit several tape-measure shots Friday into the parking lot during the team's final practice.
"Having my dad coaching is harder because he pushes me more but it also makes me more determined to hit home runs and win games," said Robinson, who wears No. 16 in tribute to his dad.
"It's important to him because it was his number at USC, he was born on March 16 and that's how many years he played in the NFL."
Dicker, whose son Jake plays left field, said both Rodney and Robinson are integral to the team's success.
"Robinson was in Australia for most of the District 40 tournament, but Rodney was out here every single day working with the team," Dicker said. "He's doing it for the love of the game, he's played at every level and the boys just love him. Our other coach Ryan (Stromsborg) played ball at USC as well, so I'm fortunate to have guys like that helping me."
Rodney and his wife, actress Holly Robinson Peete, are having their annual HollyRod Foundation fundraiser for autism today in Malibu, leaving Rodney with a difficult choice.
"We've been preparing for this event for months and I hate missing it because it's something that's dear to our hearts for 15 years," he said. "But Holly told me 'You're going to San Diego' so that was that."
Robinson, the team's right fielder, is glad his dad will be with him for the biggest series of his life.
"The most important thing he's taught me is never put my head down," Robinson said. "If I have a strikeout or make a bad play, don't get down. Keep playing hard until the end. It would mean a lot to win the (state) championship but we've set the record for our league and we're proud that we've made it this far."

Flossie: Tropical storm weakens en route to Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) ? Weather officials say Tropical Storm Flossie is weakening as it slowly moves westward across the Pacific toward Hawaii, but is still expected to bring heavy rains and winds up to 60 mph when it reaches the state late Sunday night or early Monday morning.
The National Weather Service said Sunday that Flossie could bring flash flooding, mudslides, tornadoes and waterspouts.
The service issued a tropical storm warning for Oahu, Hawaii's most populous island with the city of Honolulu, to go along with previous warnings for the Big Island, Maui, Molokai and Lanai. The warning means the storm represents a threat to life and property.
Michael Cantin, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Honolulu, said Sunday that the tropical storm warnings were expanded because the storm strengthened overnight Saturday, before it began weakening Sunday.
Cantin said heavy rains are likely with winds a growing possibility, including gusts able to knock down power poles and blow away loose objects.
"These winds will be strong enough to pick up debris and throw things around," Cantin said.
The service also issued a tropical storm watch for Kauai and Niihau, a less severe notice, asking people to make a plan and pay attention to see if things get worse.
Officials warned people to cancel beach trips, finish necessary storm preparations and evacuate if asked by local officials.
Mike McCartney, chief executive of the Hawaii Tourism Authority, said Sunday afternoon that some airlines have begun to adjust flights.
"Visitors should contact their airlines and hotels to confirm their travel plans," he said.
State officials on Saturday closed trails and campgrounds on the Big Island, and warned people to avoid forest areas until Flossie clears.
"Hikers, campers or hunters should avoid trails, streams and back-country areas under these conditions," said William Aila Jr., chairman of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
It's not immediately clear which island faces the most danger, though the Big Island ? the easternmost island in the archipelago ? is likely the first in Flossie's path. Flossie's center was expected to pass near the Big Island and Maui on Monday morning and then south of Oahu several hours later on Monday evening into Tuesday morning.
Cantin said Flossie could stray from its currently projected path up to 60 miles north or south as it crosses the Hawaiian islands and end up some 100 miles away from where forecasters project it to be by the time it passes.
Cantin said the storm is likely to shift south if it gets weaker and north if it gets stronger.
The storm could drop up to 15 inches of rain to windward areas of Maui and Hawaii counties, and 6 to 10 inches in other areas, forecasters said. Up to a foot of rain could fall on windward Oahu and 4 to 8 inches in central and leeward areas. Kauai may see 2 to 4 inches of rain, with up to 6 inches on windward slopes.
Waves of 12 to 18 feet are expected for the Big Island and Maui, with surf of 10 to 15 feet on other islands.
Despite the system weakening, the current forecast keeps Flossie as a tropical storm through Wednesday.

Facebook's Ad Sales Surprise Investors
With a big earnings surprise, not all sins are forgiven?but Facebook Inc. is drawing some investors back.
On Wednesday, Facebook easily beat second-quarter profit and sale expectations, sending its shares up 17% in late trading. The company swung to a profit as its sales rose 53% to $1.81 billion from a year ago, boosted by a surge in mobile and local ad sales. The company booked a profit of $333 million, or 13 cents a share.
Facebook is getting traction in its quest to become what founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called, a "mobile best" company. Since going public last May, Facebook's stock has floundered, amid persistent concerns the company wouldn't be able to offset the attrition in its desktop ad sales business and thrive in a mobile world.

Facebook's mobile-ad business rose 75% from the prior three months, to $656 million in sales, and now makes up 41% of its advertising sales. In the first quarter, that percentage was 30%.
"The investments we've been making over the past year or longer are starting to pay off," said David Ebersman, Facebook's chief financial officer, in an interview on Wednesday.
Even with the rally Wednesday, Facebook's share are still well below their initial public offering price of $38. In after-hours trading on Wednesday, the shares were up $4.60 to $31.11.
Much of Facebook's growth in the quarter came from its local efforts. The social network surpassed 1 million active advertisers, propelled by gains in local business advertising. The emphasis on local indicates that Facebook's sales force is ramping up efforts to woo small businesses, which will be critical, as it tries to position its mobile application as a go-to service to find local businesses.
"The revenue beat is huge," said Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst. "They are clearly doing a great job with local ad sales."
Since the IPO, investors have been fixated on Facebook's mobile business. In recent quarters, Facebook has released a flurry of new mobile-ad products and targeting tools for advertisers. For instance, mobile app install ads?or ads on Facebook that promote the download of third party apps?were one of the positive drivers of Facebook's results, "growing very rapidly," during the period, said operating chief Sheryl Sandberg.
The product, which was rolled out last fall, is gaining in popularity as Facebook tries to assert itself as the app discovery portal for mobile devices. App discovery is a particularly vexing problem for developers, who are desperately trying to stand out in the crowded sea of apps.
For some aspects of Facebook's mobile ambitions, however, the second quarter brought mixed results.
During the period, Facebook debuted video on Instagram and released Home, an application for Google Inc. Android phones. The heavily touted Home app, which was promoted with a slick television ad, has fallen short of expectations amid complaints from consumers and relatively modest download numbers.
Mr. Zuckerberg described Home as a "new kind" of product and said it would "take longer to develop."
And Facebook is still spending heavily to ramp up its mobile business. The company's cost and expenses came in at $1.25 billion in the second quarter, less than a year ago, when it spent $1.93 billion. But last year's results were bogged down by expenses related to compensating its employees with stock tied to its IPO.
There were no obvious signs of fatigue with Facebook among users in the results: Facebook's count of daily active users rose 27% from the year ago period to 699 million. The number of monthly active users jumped 21% over the period to 1.16 billion.
On the earnings call, Mr. Zuckerberg said the company remained popular among teens, a demographic analysts have frequently cited as a weakness for Facebook. He said teen use of the site "has been steady over the past year and a half."
Despite strides on mobile, Facebook still only accounts for a small slice of the greater digital advertising market. It is just 4.1% of the $104 billion market, according to data from eMarketer.
On the conference call, Facebook tried to dampen expectations moving forward, warning that the next quarters would face tougher comparisons, since ads in its main news feed channel only began to truly impact revenue in the back half of 2012.
"We know we still have a lot of hard work to do," Ms. Sandberg said on the earnings call.

What Is It About a Woman in High Heels?
Power trip? A foot thing?Photo by Brendan McDermid/Reuters
When I was a kid I used to take my sightless Aunt Phyllis for a walk in the local park. On more than one occasion we encountered the neighborhood flasher. I remember feeling bad for him. Quel poignancy! Flashing repeatedly at blind people and their diminutive companions! It doesn?t get any more tragic than that. Or does it?
Half a century later, another serial flasher is thrusting himself into my orbit, and everyone else?s. Anthony Weiner is at it again! Reading his texts?he used the nom de plume Carlos Danger?I got that same sinking feeling I used to experience, lo those many years ago, when I encountered Mr. Raincoat in that rain-lashed British park. For goodness? sake! Put it away, before you catch cold. Go home and have a nice cuppa.
Reading through his texts I noted, with a mixture of interest and boredom, Se?or Danger?s request that the young lady in question might appear ?naked except for some amazing fuckme shoes.? Plus ?a change, plus c?est pareil. He?s conjuring the oldest trick in the book. The horny porny clich? that won?t die. What is it about tarty shoes on a naked chick that keeps guys coming back for more?
Since the dawn of photography men have been grunting over pics of ladies flaunting themselves in high-heeled shoes. In Victorian times women wore heeled boots, and men loved nothing more than to lick a muddy instep or salivate over buttons running up a shapely ankle and thence to a milky white thigh. Shoegasms reached an apotheosis in the 1950s?or so we thought at the time!?with the arrival of the greatest high-heeled dominatrix diva ever, the lady with the ball-gag and the brunette bangs, Miss Bettie Page. This pump-loving pin-up was never without a black-patent stiletto. Some of her heels were so high that she only wore them while lolling horizontally on her couch. These were her shagging shoes.
Cut to: Today women stagger around the streets blithely wearing fetish-style shoes that would have given old Bettie an ankle sprain just to look at them. Eight-inch spike heels are the new Birkenstocks. Teetering, studded Louboutins are the new Mephistos.
Despite their ubiquity, killer heels seem to have lost none of their allure, as evidenced by Mr. Weiner?s saucy sexts. Pumps just keep on pumping. Sling-backs keep on slinging. What is it about those horny heels, worn with clothes or without, that make them so gosh-darn compelling to heterosexual men?
Is it a sculptural, visual thing? The elongation of leg? The raising of the botty? This theory surely explains why men whistle at strutting vixens. A woman?s derriere in a dress unarguably has more drama and oomph if she?s in heels. But recumbent on the hotel room duvet? Those heels aren?t adding any ass-tastic definition.
Is it a power trip? Is the fact that a lady is hobbled by heels and cannot run away a caveman turn-on? Back when primordial blokes had to chase prospective dates for miles across the tundra, any immobility must have been a raging aphrodisiac.
Is masochism at play? Those nasty, sharp, potentially scrotum-tearing heels seem like they could inflict sizzling amounts of pain. If a dude was into that stuff, then a spike heel would be like crack cocaine.
Is it just a foot thing? If guys are into feet?paging Imperial China?then shoes take on a whole new level of significance. They tantalize and titillate by encasing the fetish object in black patent mystery.
Or is it the opposite? Do men simply loathe the sight of grody, squishy bunion-encrusted tootsies and prefer that they be covered up?
Since I am unable to reach a conclusion?or to determine which of my theories is most apt?I throw it open to the comments below. Have at it fellas ? and ?ladies ? and transfolk! Why do men love high heels?
P.S.: Am I the only person on Earth who thought Anthony Weiner?s sexts were sassy and well-written? A (much-needed) alternative career in the field of erotic literature clearly awaits Carlos D. I?d preorder Fifty Shades of Payless on Amazon in a heartbeat.

Liz Cheney unveils campaign team for Senate run

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) ? Liz Cheney announced a core group of state leaders and advisers for her U.S. Senate campaign Thursday that draws from all corners of Wyoming and includes well-known Republican campaign organizers and fundraisers, but no prominent elected officials.
The list shows political lines being drawn among Wyoming Republicans ahead of what could turn out to be the longest, toughest and most expensive political battle the state has ever seen.
The elder daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney announced last week she's running against three-term Sen. Mike Enzi next year. Enzi almost immediately announced his re-election campaign, and Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso and the state's lone U.S. representative, Cynthia Lummis, immediately gave him their support.
Cheney's team offers the first substantial look at who in Wyoming is on her side.
Her statewide campaign co-chairs include Dick and Maggie Scarlett, who in 2011 hosted a fundraiser for Mitt Romney at their Jackson Hole home.
Also co-chairing are Bill and Toni Thomson, who earlier this month held a get-to-know-Liz event that drew about 35 people to their Cheyenne home. Thomson is an attorney, lobbyist and longtime Republican organizer.
"I believe she'd step out front and that she would directly challenge actions of the president and his liberal allies that want to change America in a way that makes me very uncomfortable," Thomson said. "I think she has the ability and experience to really be a leader in the national debate."
Many speculate Cheney will need to run a negative campaign against Enzi. Thomson passed on an opportunity to criticize Enzi, but Harriet Hageman, listed among Cheney's advisers, said Enzi has been too willing to compromise with Democrats.
"If we're going to change the trajectory of the country, we have to change our leaders as well," said Hageman, a Cheyenne water and natural resources attorney known for taking up conservative causes.
The Scarletts, Thomsons and Hagemans ? Harriet Hageman said her father, a state legislator, was a Young Republican with Dick Cheney ? all are old friends of the Cheney family.
An Enzi spokesman said the senator is backed by some of the most conservative Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, and gets things done for Wyoming's people every day.
"There is no compromise on that for him. It's called being effective," spokesman Coy Knobel said by email.
Cheney said in a statement she was honored to have "support, advice and counsel" from the group of 16 "distinguished Wyoming citizens." Other advisers include John and DJ Mansell, of Enzi's hometown of Gillette, where John Mansell is an anesthesiologist, and Lois Herbst, a rancher in Fremont County in central Wyoming.
No current state lawmakers or current or former statewide elected officials are on the list, though Cheney has the support of at least one Republican legislator.
"I agree with everything I have heard her say so far," state Rep. Sue Wallis said by email.
Wallis called herself a "big fan" of Wyoming's congressional delegation but said lack of new blood in Washington, especially in the Senate, is a problem.
Another legislator is skeptical Cheney will get much support among Wyoming legislators. Enzi was a state representative and senator from 1988-1996.
State Sen. Cale Case, R-Lander, described Enzi as a "salt of the earth" fellow who had "paid his dues."
"I just think this effort, to be successful, it's virtually impossible. Truly," Case said of Cheney's challenge.
Gov. Matt Mead has endorsed neither Cheney nor Enzi. The Mead family also is a well-known political name in Wyoming. His grandfather, Clifford Hansen, was governor and U.S. senator. Mead has said in declining to endorse that he's friends with both the Cheneys and Enzis.

Oklahoma Veterinarian Offering Stem Cell Therapy For Aging Pets ...
TULSA, Oklahoma -
A controversial therapy that's not available for humans is being used on their pets. Stem cells are helping dogs and cats heal faster and get rid of pain as the animals get older.
Mandy Clinton loves her dog and she'd do just about anything for her.
"I've had her for 14 years. She's my homegirl," Clinton said about Libbi.
But Libbi has come up with a hitch in her giddy up. She tripped while walking up the stairs and tore her ACL.
Clinton was looking into surgery when she learned about stem cell therapy and its ability to help dogs heal faster and reduce pain.
"I had no idea. I had no idea. It blew my mind, but I've had Libbi for 14 years, and so I was ready to do it if it was possible," she said.
Dr. Joe Landers at Heritage Veterinary Hospital will be performing Libbi's surgery on Wednesday.
They'll harvest stem cells from Libbi's stomach, process and stimulate them, then implant the stem cells on her leg joint.
"If you've ever cut your skin, deeply with a knife or something, you've had stem cell repair," said Dr. Joe Landers, DVM.
"It's mainly indicative now for old dogs with degenerative arthritis. Those dogs that can't get around very well, can't get up the stairs, can't jump, or just lay there because they're hurting and they don't want to move around," he said.
Stem cell therapy for dogs has been around a little more than five years. The idea has been called promising by researchers, but some are still worried there's not enough evidence to show that it can be safe or effective.
Dr. Landers says he's performed the surgery three times and all have been successful. It doesn't come without a price, Clinton is paying $2,000 for the surgery.
She says it's worth it to help a little pooch who's been her best friend for nearly half her life.
'Like I said, I know it seems a little extravagant but I've had her for so long," said dog owner Mandy Clinton.
"I just want to make sure she has a good quality of life."

Apple reports Q3 2013 revenue of $35.3 billion: 31.2 million iPhones sold, iPad and Mac sales decline
It hasn't been a particularly quiet quarter for Apple, at least in the announcement department. But, as far actually shipping new products, Q3 of 2013 has been relatively uneventful. Perhaps that's why the company's revenues are down to $35.3 billion, from $43.6 billion in Q2. Still, while its revenues are down significantly from the last two quarters, things are pretty stable year-over-year. In fact, it's enjoyed a small increase over the $35 billion it raked in during Q3 of 2012. Still, while revenues are up, profits are down. $6.9 billion in net income is hardly anything to snub your nose at, but it does represent a notable drop from the $8.8 billion Apple pocketed in the same quarter last year. That's at least partially attributable to a year-over-year drop in both iPad and Mac sales, though the 31.2 million iPhones sold is a record for the June quarter -- up 20 percent from last year. The decline in iPad sales is particularly notable. After selling 17 million iOS tablets in Q3 of 2012 and 19.5 million just last quarter, Apple only managed to sell 14.6 slates in the three month period ending June 30th. Mac sales were down less dramatically, from 4 million to 3.8 million, year-over-year, though those numbers are roughly flat sequentially.
The iPod line continued its rather swift decline in Q3, with sales dropping 19 percent sequentially and 32 percent year-over-year. The impressive uptick in iPhone sales does help balance out the drop, but it appears the writing is on the wall for the product family that helped kick start the digital music revolution. All the blame for Apple's declining profits can not be blamed on the iPod, however. Sales are down pretty much across the board, both sequentially and year-over-year, with the exception of the iPhone. All the while, Cupertino's expenses keep increasing.
You'll find updates and more numbers after the break from Apple's earnings call.
