Movie Review
Moneyball — Rating: 3 STARS
Moneyball is a crowd-pleasing baseball movie, though a bit sluggish in telling the story. Brad Pitt (Beane) gave a stellar performance as a former star player who manages an ailing team. But it was Jonah Hill (Pete) who delivers a surprisingly affecting performance—shy but not simpering with a refreshing presence of un-showy and naturalistic. Overall, Moneyball is entertaining and a worthwhile film.

Seminole Mom: Son Being Bullied, School System Not Doing Enough
Seminole County, FL (WFTV) – A new case of bus bullying is under investigation in Seminole County, and the victim's mother claims the district isn't doing enough to stop it. Her son, a sixth grader, almost hurt himself before school officials took action. The boy had to be hospitalized to keep him safe. The boy's mom said that would not have been necessary if officials at the school district did more to stop her son's bullies ahead of time. But Superintendent Bill Vogel says the district is working hard on the issue. We found out that Seminole County investigated nearly 170 bully cases last year.
Falling Tax Collections have Florida DOT thinking TOLLS
Orange City, FL (WFTV) – Transportation officials are warning about major shortfalls because of a huge drop in taxes collected from gas sales and car registrations. New numbers show that gas tax collections are down by more than $15 million this year. The falling revenue stream has forced the Florida Department of Transportation to reduce its revenue projections over the next five years by nearly $900 million. It means that what the DOT can't get at the pump, it hopes to help make up in tolls after you leave the station.
Death Toll from Tainted Cantaloupes Rises to 21
(CNN) The number of deaths linked to cantaloupes contaminated with the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria has risen to 21, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. At least 109 cases of listeria have been reported in 24 states, the agency said. That's nine more cases and four more states than it reported Tuesday. The number of deaths has risen by three. Health officials have said the number of cases could continue to grow, citing reporting lags and the fact the disease can develop slowly in some people, taking up to two months. The listeria outbreak is the deadliest food-borne illness outbreak in the United States since 1998. Refrigerating a cantaloupe will not kill the bacteria, which can grow at low temperatures, authorities have said, and consumers should not try to wash off the bacteria.
Israel’s Netanyahu: “Peace Must be Anchored in Security”
(CNN) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' address to the United Nations General Assembly, tells the same body that says Israel has been "singled out for condemnation" more often than "all the nations of the world combined." "The truth is Israel wants peace," he said. But "peace must be anchored in security. "Netanyahu said Palestinians' application for U.N. membership should be rejected because Israel and the Palestinians need to clinch a peace deal first, and that, he said, can only be reached through negotiation for a two-state solution that recognizes Israel as a Jewish state. Palestinians must "first make peace with Israel, and then get their state."
Hundreds of Fighters Storm Gadhafi’s Birthplace
(CNN) -- Battles raged on Friday as the new Libyan leaders sought to gain control of the coastal birthplace of ousted ruler Moammar Gadhafi.Hundreds of National Transitional Council fighters were ordered to start attacking the western part of Sirte, said Mohammed Ibrahim, a field military commander. Battles were already ongoing in the eastern part of the city as NTC fighters continued to try and root out a contingent of Gadhafi loyalists. "The battle will be difficult but we have to finish it," Ibrahim said.
Obama: Jobs Bill Must Pass to Protect U.S. Economy
(CNN) – President Barack Obama urged Congress to act on his jobs plan Thursday, saying it was needed to protect the United States from another economic downturn. Economic problems in Europe could have a "very real effect" on the U.S. economy, Obama said at a White House news conference. Any senator who is "thinking of voting" against the jobs bill next week "needs to explain" why he or she would oppose something that would help U.S. families and businesses, he added.

Saturday’s Drenching Rains Made Quite a Hullabaloo Inside
By Haydee Ayala
October 8, 2011
Orlando, FL — If you thought the storm outside caused the wind to howl imagine the weather inside the studio as YSL host Jose Miranda begins his monologue with the phrase ‘Skin in the game,’ noting that this is a widely used expression not only in business and finance but a growing idiom in politics.
Its political meanings, though an imperfect aphorism, is used by all sides in debates as a means to connect with people on an informal level. Yet, at times beyond reason while making this characteristic for political rhetoric for those promoting shared sacrifices, others who seek their own political agenda in the name of the people or investment in some key explanation of a way out.
So the next time you hear the expression you might want to stop, take a minute and ask yourself: what is actually being asked, by whom, and for what purpose? Remember, it is not enough for politicians to cheer us on as everyone must put some skin in the game on the table. And, these opposing views will dominate public policy discussions throughout the 2012 elections. Then the question one should be asking is whose skin should be in the game and how much of it should be committed?
Next, Jose is joined by Danny Ramos who proceeds to discuss the lingering issues on redistricting after the U.S. Supreme Court in Miami squashes the ruling to overturn this ballot. However, many still believe it to be a “silver bullet” and one that is designed to let politicians keep picking voters. An outcome in which given the choice between people and power, politicians will favor power every time and what does this mean to you. Well, for Hispanics who hold the majority in Florida’s population, a lack of representation and Federal funding. According to Ramos this battle is not over and is once again in the courts. For more details go to Hispanic Achievers.com and reach out to Mr. Ramos.
Naturally the show would not be complete without Jason Henry, contributing reporter to YSL. Henry certainly knows how to bring the Central Florida News to the show. Covering topics like the redistricting. That’s one roving reporter you should watch closely as nothing escapes his keen eye.
Of course, life on the fast lane on YSL would not be complete without its call-ins. Talk radio is a format which allows one to discuss topical issues between the host and listeners but today the gutsy talk show host who always lands on the “right side” of the issues became a target by a listener. However, he prevailed! Miranda certainly knows how to bring his expertise, wit and New York fire to the radio which makes him the perfect authority to address those hot and timely issues. Talk about stirring the pot!!!!! But don’t take my word for it, listen to the show and see for yourself.
Well, that’s a rap. See you back here next week!
Fashion...
Winter Trends for Men
October 8, 2011
Everyone, whether it is a man or a woman, likes to wear the latest fashion trends. Merely because it shows awareness of what is happening around them. Plus, it allows them to see what is new and hip in the market. Given that the Florida summer months tend to last longer, the use of natural fabrics like cotton and silk will be in full swing in dealing with these hot humid days. However, as the winter season approaches—and it will—as people will do the opposite. Covering up due to the low temperature and, wearing heavier clothing like sweaters, turtlenecks, leather, suede, and velvet just to keep the cold element at bay.
One way to see what is in for fall and winter is surfing the internet. Take a good look at the trends from the UK. The most up-to-the-minute outfits do come from there. Perhaps it is their extreme frosty winters, or simply their talent for design. Nonetheless, it is a great place to start. What is more, is that men’s fashion will be dominated by the styling of military, some new cuts and styles of suits, and velvet clothing. However, the biggest influence will come from the military flair as it will include designs inspired by the 40's and 50’s. For example, the long coats, aviator jackets and boots with shear ling.
Now with suits moving forward into 2011-2012, the governing influence of the military officers and their masculine physique will be forceful. The emphasis will be on the shoulders, waist and legs. Keep in mind that this style is better suited for men who are slim at the waist and legs but have big broad shoulders. Equally new is velvet. But, it is not a good idea that men wear every cloth of velvet as it can give a very bad look. However, if you wish to add velvet to your wardrobe select a fabric that is plush perhaps a velvet jacket one that can be worn during the holiday festivities.
If one must cover up due to the chilly weather, it certainly doesn’t hurt to do it in style.

Owners, Players Can’t Agree to Meet: Start of Season Doomed
(NBC) – If the owners refuse to even talk and if the players don’t come off that number, then we’ve got a stalemate and games will be lost. NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver basically confirmed the leaks from the union we passed along before (just keep scrolling down) — the league is not going to discuss money beyond the 50/50 split of basketball related income that was the last informal offer from the owners.

Ngata Fined $15,000 for Hit on Sanchez
(NBC) – In the second quarter of Sunday night’s game between the Ravens and the Jets, Baltimore defensive tackle Haloti Ngata applied a blindside hit to New York quarterback Mark Sanchez, knocking the ball loose. Linebacker Jarret Johnson scooped it up, ran into the end zone, and with the extra point the Ravens led, 27-7. Referee Mike Carey, who presumably was focused on whether Sanchez’s arm was going forward when the ball came out, missed the fact that Ngata put his helmet into Sanchez’s back. The league office didn’t. The NFL has fined Ngata $15,000 for roughing the passer. “Specifically, on a pass play, he lowered his head and struck the opposing quarterback,” AFC information manager Corry Rush told PFT. In other words, the league has conceded that a flag should have been thrown.

Mom’s Apple Squares
October 8, 2011
Traditional recipes for apple squares often use plenty of trans-fat-laden shortening in the crust. However, we have replaced it with a mixture of canola oil and butter and swapped out half the all-purpose flour for whole-wheat pastry flour for a little fiber. These squares are best enjoyed slightly warm. Gently reheat any leftovers in the oven or toaster oven to re-crisp the crust.
Servings: 12 • Time: 40 MINS, Total Time: 3 ½ HRS
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar, plus 3/4 cup, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
5 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup ice water
1 large egg, separated
4 cups thinly sliced firm tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Empire or Cortland, peeled if desired
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and quickly rub them into the dry ingredients with your fingers until smaller but still visible. Add oil and toss with a fork to combine. Whisk water and egg yolk in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir until it begins to come together. Knead the dough with your hands in the bowl a few times until it forms a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into 5-inch disks. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
Combine apples, the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Roll one portion of dough between sheets of parchment or wax paper into a 9-by-13-inch rectangle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into the prepared pan. Peel off the remaining paper. Trim the dough so it covers just the bottom of the pan. Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough. Using the parchment or wax paper, roll out the remaining dough, invert it over the filling and trim the edges so it just covers the filling. Whisk the egg white in a bowl until frothy and evenly brush over the top crust. Lightly sprinkle the crust with additional sugar, if desired.
Bake until golden brown and bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into 12 squares.
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the crust (Step 1), wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 6 months. | Equipment: Parchment paper

The Surprising Power of Happiness
October 8, 2011
If you had to choose a theme song for your life, would it be, "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" or "Don't Worry, Be Happy"? Great news if you picked the latter: You're less likely to have a heart attack.
New British research has found that the more satisfied you are with your life, the lower your danger of coronary heart disease.
Happy Life, Happy Heart
While it's long been known that negative emotions such as depression and anxiety put you at risk for heart disease, there's been surprisingly little research on whether positive emotions prevent coronary trouble. To find out, scientists asked nearly 8,000 people to rate their satisfaction in seven key areas of life: jobs, family, love, leisure, standard of living, sex, and self. Those who scored higher than average satisfaction in all categories had up to 13 percent less risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and angina. That's major.
People who were happier in four areas -- jobs, families, sex lives, and selves -- also had healthier hearts. But feeling contented in just the other three areas -- leisure activities, love relationships, and standard of living -- didn't have a significant impact.
C'mon, Get Happy
While it's not yet clear exactly how feeling good about your life helps your heart, it's well established that happiness is vital to your health. Studies have repeatedly found that happy people produce fewer stress-related hormones, have stronger immune systems, and live longer. Now it's clear that one reason is their hearts.

Wall Street Protests Mix with Anti-War Demonstrators
October 8, 2011
New York (CNN) -- A mix of protesters gathered again Friday in cities across the country, decrying a loosely defined list of financial problems and mixing in places with others marking the 10-year anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan.
Demonstrators in New York and Washington appeared to congregate over both the Afghan conflict, arguably America's longest war, and in protest against the widening disparities between rich and poor and corporate greed, among other grievances.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said an investigation is under way after protesters claimed officers used excessive force when corralling demonstrators earlier this week.
He also noted that demonstrations had cost tax payers $1.9 million in overtime costs for the city's law enforcement.
CNN affiliate stations also broadcast images of crowds that gathered in Austin, Texas, as well as Minneapolis, Minnesota; Seattle, Washington and Atlanta, Georgia.
The activity came a day after President Barack Obama discussed the growing movement, saying demonstrators "are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works."
Speaking at a White House news conference, Obama also defended the country's financial sector, which has taken the brunt of protesters' criticism, focusing on Wall Street and its regulators' purported role in expanding economic disparities.
"We have to have a strong, effective financial sector in order for us to grow," the president said.
Still, Obama discussed a need to pursue action aimed at improving government oversight and blamed Republican lawmakers for obstructing financial reforms.
Friday marked the 21st day of the grass-roots Wall Street protests.
Demonstrations have erupted in more than a dozen cities throughout the week, ranging from thousands who marched in lower Manhattan Wednesday after receiving support from local unions, to the dozens of college students who staged walkouts at various college campuses. Open Story: See iReports from the protests.
The movement started in New York and some of the protests there have been marred by scuffles with police.
New York authorities set up at least one vehicle checkpoint as police appeared in larger numbers throughout the financial district Thursday and established a perimeter around Zuccotti Park, which is considered a rallying point for the largely leaderless movement in that city.
"We hope that our message continues to resonate with everyone who has felt disenfranchised by the current state of our country," said Tyler Combelic, a spokesman for the Occupy Wall Street group.
He said they plan to "continue the protest until the message reaches every house in the United States."
The specifics of that message remains largely unclear.
