lauryn hill teacher appreciation week Jodi Arias trial cinco de mayo Mike Jeffries Abercrombie nascar Charles Ramsey Interview

Merkel not scaring off conservative voters, Schaeuble says

BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel has not alienated conservative German voters by pushing her Christian Democrats into the center but has instead put the party on course to win for a third straight term in September, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said.

In an interview with Der Spiegel magazine on Sunday, the powerful leader of the CDU's conservative wing made it clear to fellow right wingers they should stop sniping at Merkel if they want to help keep the party in power for four more years.

Schaeuble also ruled out for the first time a "grand coalition" with the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), a right-center alliance that many analysts expect to be the outcome in September. He also ruled out a coalition with the Greens.

Merkel, seeking a third term, has been under fire from the right wing of her CDU for pushing the party away from its conservative roots. Since 2009 the CDU has abandoned conscription, nuclear power and university fees. It is also now opening itself to quotas for women executives and gay rights.

"We're not scaring away anyone," Schaeuble told der Spiegel in a stirring defense of Merkel four months before the election. "On the contrary, the CDU is in a better position right now than ever before and I'm not just talking about opinion polls.

"Merkel's doing a remarkable job," he added, pointing to the political weakness and infighting plaguing conservative parties in France and Britain. "Everyone will tell you that society has changed a lot in the last 20 years. We've got to accept that."

Schaeuble, 70, rejected the suggestion that conservatives feel estranged by Merkel's centrist strategies [ID:nL6N0BQ6HF]

"I also consider myself to be a conservative and I don't know anyone in the CDU who feels estranged by Merkel," he said.

Merkel has high approval ratings although she is viewed skeptically by the right wing of her party. Her popularity has helped the CDU and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), open up a wide lead ahead of the September 22 election.

In a poll published in Bild am Sonntag, the CDU/CSU would win 40 percent, up 1 point in the past week, while the SPD would win 27 percent, also up 1 point. But the CDU/CSU's coalition partners, the Free Democrats, at 4 percent, would fail to win seats in parliament.

The SPD and its preferred center-left partners, the Greens (13 percent), would also fall short of a majority. Analysts expect the CDU/CSU and SPD to form another grand coalition, like the right-center alliance that ruled from 2005 to 2009.

But Schaeuble became the first senior CDU figure to rule a "grand coalition" in the interview published on Sunday - using the threat of an SDP-Greens coalition in power as part of his rallying call.

"We won't form a coalition with anyone - if the center-right doesn't win a majority, then the SPD and Greens will repeat what they did in North Rhine-Westphalia," he said, referring to an inconclusive election in the state in 2010 when the SPD formed a minority coalition with the Greens that got backing from the far left-wing Left party.

He said he was confident the center right would win re-election in September.

Bruins eliminate Rangers with 3-1 win in Game 5

(AP) ? Claude Julien decided not to give his goalie a pep talk after a pratfall in the crease handed the Rangers a goal that had the potential to turn the series around.

Instead, the Bruins coach waited until after Tuukka Rask responded with 28 saves to help Boston beat New York 3-1 in Game 5 on Saturday and advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

"That's what I told Tuukka at the end of the game, 'You can start laughing now,'" Julien said after the Bruins followed their seven-game series against Toronto by avoiding a nail-biter against the Rangers.

"We probably played with fire in the first round and almost got burnt," Julien said. "We knew we couldn't let our guard down (against New York). Because if we did, they would come right back at us."

Gregory Campbell scored twice and recent call-up Torey Krug scored his fourth goal of the series for Boston, which will meet Pittsburgh for the right to play for the Stanley Cup. The Bruins reached the third round of the NHL playoffs for the second time since 1992.

The other was 2011, when the Bruins won the sixth Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Tim Thomas was in goal then, and Rask's playoff memories aren't quite so fond. The 26-year-old Finn was the Bruins' starter when they blew a 3-0 lead in the 2010 East semifinals against Philadelphia, giving up a 3-0 lead in Game 7 as the Flyers advanced.

Boston was up 3-0 in the second-round series against New York this year, with a 2-0 lead in Game 4 when Rask tripped on a rut in the crease and flailed at a slow-moving puck as it rolled over the line. The Rangers went on to win 4-3 in overtime, forcing the series back to Boston for a fifth game.

"We wanted to make sure we ended this series ? for all the right reasons," including rest for players who went to overtime in Game 7 against Toronto, Julien said. "It also gives Tuukka the opportunity to laugh about that goal."

Rask made sure there wouldn't be another collapse, stopping Ryan Callahan on a breakaway with just under 10 minutes to play. Callahan split the defense and went to his backhand, but Rask turned it away with the blocker on his right arm.

"As a goalie, you expect to make one or two big saves. And today it happened," Rask said. "I didn't feel bad about myself after Game 4; obviously, there was a little screw-up there with that goal. But I didn't let that bother me, and I felt like I played a decent game after that.

"Coming in today, I just wanted to be rock solid back there, and give our team a chance to win the game."

Campbell broke a 1-1 tie in the second period, then added an empty-netter with 51 seconds left to clinch it after Henrik Lundqvist was pulled for an extra skater.

Lundqvist made 29 saves and Dan Girardi scored for the Rangers, who lost to New Jersey in last year's East finals.

"I expected more from us, and I hoped for more," Lundqvist said. "Right now, it's just an empty feeling, and disappointment. Some years you don't really have a chance to go that far in the playoffs, you just battle hard. I think this year, we had a pretty good team, but there were a few games when we didn't reach our top level. When you play a team like Boston, it's going to be tough to beat them."

The Rangers fell behind 3-0 in the series before winning Game 4 on Thursday night to avoid a sweep, thanks in part to two soft goals that caught Rask off-guard. They took an early lead on Saturday, but they could not send the series back to New York for a sixth game.

"I watched our team fight tonight to extend this series. We get it on a big guy's stick with a chance to tie it," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "So it goes. They were the better team. They deserved to win."

Girardi made it 1-0 on a power-play goal with 9:21 left in first, one-timing a pass from Mats Zucarello into the net. The Bruins scored a power-play goal of their own 3:48 into the second when Krug took a pass from Tyler Seguin and hit the top of the net.

Ten minutes later, Daniel Paille sent the puck to the net and it got caught up in traffic. Shawn Thornton knocked it to Campbell, who swept it in for the go-ahead goal.

The Rangers pulled Lundqvist with 1:15 left, but the Bruins quickly found the empty net on a slow-rolling shot by Campbell.

Notes: The Rangers had been 3-for-42 in the playoffs on the power play, but they scored on one for the second straight game ... Krejci led all scorers in the playoffs (5G, 12A) entering Saturday's game. ... Bruins D Dennis Seidenberg, who was injured in the first minute of Game 7 in the first round, returned to the lineup. Dougie Hamilton was a scratch. ... Rangers F Brad Richards, the 2004 Conn Smythe Trophy winner, was a scratch for the second straight game. ... Rangers F Derek Stepan took a puck in the face in the first period and skated off but returned a short time later.

Oprah On Prescription Drugs: Americans 'Take Pills Like Candy' (VIDEO)

Americans don't shy away from taking pills. According to IMS Health, an estimated 16 million people in the United States use painkillers, 5 million take sleep aids and 18 million rely on some form of antidepressants. In this week's "Super Soul Sunday," Oprah and a panel of dynamic thought leaders tackle the issue of pill-popping in this country -- is it a necessity or has it become gratuitous?

For Oprah, the pill-popping statistics raise a deep philosophical question. "Do these numbers point to a collective hole in the soul of our country?" she asks her panel in the video. Reverend Ed Bacon of the All Saints Episcopal Church addresses the issue of taking pills with a personal admission that he himself takes sleep aids and pain medicine.

"For me, it is an OK thing to do if it's going to help me enter life. If it helps me avoid life, that's a different matter," Rev. Bacon says, drawing a distinct line. "If I am avoiding life, then there is a hole in my soul, yes."

Oprah returns to the current statistics on pills. "But I'm looking at the number of 40 million U.S. adults who are plagued with some kind of anxiety disorder," she says. "I mean, people take pills like candy."

Rev. Bacon understands that characterization. "As a pastor, I hear about this all the time. So, I really do understand the overuse of anti-anxiety drugs," he says. "[But], before we go there, I simply want to lay down a foundation of respect for people who do have a chemical imbalance, because I would hate for somebody who's watching to think that we're dissing them and discounting them."

Oprah and her guests continue their discussion on pills and explore additional topics of gun violence, celebrity obsession and terrorism on "Super Soul Sunday," airing Sunday, May 26, at 11 a.m. ET on OWN.

How To Make Money Online Using Internet Marketing Programs ...

Starting a program in online marketing can prove to be quite complicated, but it can be easier than you expect. Technological innovations can help you create that network of referrals, without great time or expense. The following article will help you begin an effective internet marketing program and offer tips and advice for success.

Use the following affiliate marketing techniques to help you make money sites for passive income.

Make sure you understand how order tracking works with the affiliates that you have chosen. Some companies allow orders to be made my mail or phone. Those orders are only connected to an affiliate ID if actively mentioned. In these scenarios, you could miss out on commissions.

Be upfront about your use of web marketing, and observe the impact it has on the behavior of your audience. Be up front and honest with your customers, as they will respect you more for it. Your site visitors will respond well if they understand the service you are providing: you are giving them good connections to pursue something they desire. Understanding this will make them want to use your links.

Try out secret link systems. You can use techniques to infiltrate the text with affiliate links without being obvious about it. Use these thechniques, but never try to trick your readers. You can keep readers from being unhappily surprised by providing a clear context for each link.

If your website is sports-related, you already know what your visitors are going to be interested in. Sports-related websites would be the most beneficial places to which you should link. Your customers will most likely look at a link relevant to the info you have on your website.

If you have a sports related website, make sure the content is also sports related, as this is what your viewers are going to be expecting to see. Putting a link leading to a completely unrelated affiliate won?t be nearly as effective as a link to something related to sports. Having link that are relevant to your target audience is always more effective.

In order to make sure the money gets where it needs to be, you need to consider affiliate companies that provide different payment options. Some programs offer different payment options such as PayPal and AlertPay. Others only mail a check when sales reach a given amount.

Maximize business profits by signing up with online marketing companies. Affiliate promotion is one of the most popular ways of advertising, because of the number of people who click links. You should look for some things in an affiliate program such as type of payments received, ease of site navigation, and it?s popularity.

Limit your business dealings to affiliate companies that are fair and generous. You should not partner with a company who is offering a commission that is less than 20% for items sold. Affiliate companies that treat their workers fairly know that good commissions attract quality workers and more business.

Use your marketing articles to entice the audience that will be interested in the products sold by your affiliate partners. You can get away with using indirect high-volume methods with low click-through rates for inexpensive products. For instance, selecting a rather expensive product will require you to focus on convincing customers more than working with volumes.

You need to be quite aware of who your target audience is in online marketing. It is necessary to keep striving to satisfy the expectations of your targeted groups. Research what draws them to your site. Which products, articles or other content are they viewing?

If you utilize banner ads, make one that has a trivia question which can only be answered by visiting your site. It will be hard for many people to resist. If someone answers correctly, give them a freebie.

Affiliate marketing is a rewarding process if done right, not just for the amount of profits it generates, but also for the amount of knowledge you offer your customers. Keep in mind that for online marketing to be successful, you must invest your time in order to create provocative and stimulating material that will make you more popular than others in your field. Should you act on this, you will attain success in marketing online.

Regina Weinreich: Fill the Void: Broadening the Feminist Gaze

Rama Burshtein's glimpse into Tel Aviv's Hasidic community, Fill the Void is a stunning film taking the viewer into the marriage practices of a hermetic society, offering an intimate, if fictional view, of how matches are made. Ultimately a love story, Fill the Void is most surprising in revealing unexpected emotional connection and subdued passion in places where love is most often a last consideration. Shira (Hadas Yaron), an 18 year old woman drinks tea with suitors at dates arranged by matchmaker; they interview one another as to how they want to live their lives; suddenly after a family tragedy Shira has to consider marrying Yochay (Yiftach Klein) her older sister's husband, twice her age.
2013-05-25-Fill_The_VoidLeslie_Hassler_6.jpg
Who should marry whom is an appealing subject for any culture--witness the popularity of all things Jane Austen. But since the time of this movie's U.S. premiere at the New York Film Festival last fall, some critics have griped at the old world attitudes depicted here, particularly as the American born director turned deeply religious presents this world without irony, or any filter by which to judge it. Viewers will have to see for themselves whether the couple is "beshert," or meant to be.
Before the festival of Shavuot, I had the opportunity to converse with Rama Burshtein and Fill the Void's young star Hadas Yaron about their achievement, and the backlash.

How did you find this story?

I met a woman at a wedding and was told she married her sister's widower. When I'm curious, I research. I spoke to a lot of women who went through that. At the end it sounded very natural to marry your late sister's husband. But for the film, the matchmaker was the first character who came into my mind.

The real match came from mother. I didn't like her at first. I thought her idea for Shira to marry Yochay came from the self-interest of not wanting to lose her grandchild. Then I saw she had intuition. Was that your intention?

Most people can identify with her grief. When she looks at her daughter Esther before she dies, it is as if she knows something. At the end, when Shira marries Yochay, you feel it's the right thing to do, wanting to marry the nicest guy in the room.

In the last scene after the wedding, Yochay hangs up his fur hat and he has a look on his face, and then the scene cuts to her, and her look is a look of gee, I don't know what to do now. You may think he's going to show her and it's going to work out because he has learned something in their communication. Does every audience believe it is a good match?

That is special about this film. Because it is so subtle, it is open to interpretation. At the same screening, three friends had different responses: one said, I am going to take this bloody Yochay and hang him. An old man takes this beautiful na?ve young girl. He should be hanged. Another said, what are you talking about? She was in love with him before the sister died. The third said, no, she's going to learn to love him later. Everyone spoke from who they were; they were sure they understood it, the true meaning of the story. More people saw it as a love story, but a lot of people didn't. They cried, it is so sad because she is a victim. I learned to really let go. You meant what you meant, but the audience response will surprise you. Some people say the last scene is the most erotic. If I really meant it, then I am really a genius but I didn't. I am fascinated by the response.

How do you respond to feminists who have rejected your film?

Sometimes I get a reporter who is shaking with anger at me. When you are open to complications of emotion, then feminism, chauvinism and other big words fall apart. There are no villains when you are able to hold all kinds of emotions all at once. For me, it is more important to be feminine than feminist.

Your characters go to rabbis, to male authority figures, for advice. What is the role of rabbis in your life?

When I go to a rabbi, I understand my power, not his power. I came from a very liberal home, didn't ask for my father's permission. I left home when I was 16. I learned the tough way. I thought, would I ever be able to have a friend who loves me enough to tell me the truth? The first time I sat with a rabbi, I totally broke down and cried. He gave me the feeling that nothing exists but me. I am a streetwise girl, a liar and a thief. You cannot fool me or pretend that you are with me when you are not. He was so with me. He made me cry because this was a dry area in my heart. It was like going to a wise man, to the Dalai Lama. He sees a wider picture and you let him play that role in your life. He makes me feel smaller and that makes me feel beautiful. I wish people would make me feel smaller and protected. It's not about feminism. It is about humanity and emotions and confusion and having someone to talk to.

I am wondering would my Hasidic relatives in NY come to see this movie?

Probably not. It was not done for them. If I were to write for them it would be a different visual language. I had chutzpah enough to create my own, without wigs, for example. For me, the film was not about specific customs and rituals. But a lot of religious people told me the feelings were accurate, because they were into the story.

Is this filmmaking accepted in your community?

This is a first. No other film was made by a religious person within the religious community. Their reactions are not written. I thought there would be a war. When no one smeared the posters in Jerusalem, it was like a kiss from God, a miracle. My kids were afraid, what will they say in yeshiva? Someone said, your mother made a film and she went on a red carpet in Venice. Venice finished the war: a religious woman on the red carpet with her husband!

Is it expected for women to be chained to the kitchen?

I'm not so sure being chained to the kitchen is less than being a filmmaker. Making films is a vacation compared to everything you do, raising kids, being a good wife. Making films and being honored for them gives you strength. My being center stage, I am not shy, but at the end of the day, I like myself less. I never expected the international acclaim. I wish I could be more feminine.

Are you thinking of your next film?

The second project is a trap. I think, if I am never driven in a limo again, it is fine. And then an idea comes to me. So I have a new script set in New York.
