(AP) ? One day after their contentious, finger-pointing debate, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney vied aggressively for the support of women voters Wednesday, as they and their running mates charged across nearly a half-dozen battleground states in the close race for the White House with 20 days to run.

Not even Republicans disputed that Obama's debate performance was much stronger than the listless showing two weeks earlier that helped spark a rise in the polls for Romney. The two rivals meet one more time, next Monday in Florida.

The first post-debate polls were divided, some saying Romney won, others finding Obama did. At least some of the voters who asked the questions in the town-hall style encounter remained uncommitted. "If Gov. Romney could actually provide the jobs, that would be a good thing because we really need them," said Nina Gonzalez, a 2008 Obama voter, neatly summarizing the uncertainty confronting voters in a slow-growth, high-unemployment economy.

Obama wore a pink wristband to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month as he campaigned in Iowa and then Ohio, and reminded his audience that the first legislation he signed after becoming president made it easier for women to take pay grievances to court.

Romney took no position on that bill when it passed Congress, and his campaign says he would not seek its repeal. But Obama chided him, saying, "That shouldn't be a complicated question. Equal pay for equal work."

He also jabbed at Romney's remark during Tuesday night's debate that as Massachusetts governor, he received "whole binders full of women" after saying he wanted to appoint more of them to his administration. "We don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented women," he said.

"I've got two daughters and I don't want them paid less for the same job as a man," Obama said at an appearance in Athens, Ohio, later Wednesday.

Romney's campaign launched a new television commercial that seemed designed to take the edge ever so slightly off his opposition to abortion ? another example of his October move toward the middle ? while urging women voters to keep pocketbook issues uppermost in their minds when they cast their ballots.

"In fact he thinks abortion should be an option in cases of rape, incest or to save a mother's life," says a woman in the new ad. Pivoting quickly to economic matters, she adds, "But I'm more concerned about the debt our children will be left with. I voted for President Obama last time, but we just can't afford four more years."

That dovetailed with Romney's personal pitch to an audience in Chesapeake, Va.

"This president has failed American's women. They've suffered in terms of getting jobs," he declared, saying that 3.6 million more of them are in poverty now than when Obama took office.

With recent gains in the polls for Romney, he and the president are locked in an exceedingly close race as they shuttle from one critical state to another and dispatch surrogates ranging from former President Bill Clinton to ex-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to locations they cannot make on their own.

A little less than three weeks before Election Day, Obama appears on course to win states and the District of Columbia that account for 237 of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. The same is true for Romney in states with 191 electoral votes.

The remaining 110 electoral votes are divided among the hotly contested battleground states of Florida (29), North Carolina (15), Virginia (13), New Hampshire (4), Iowa (6), Colorado (9), Nevada (6), Ohio (18) and Wisconsin (10).

As the campaign days dwindled down, the number of television commercials rose higher. According to media buyers who track ads, target voters in the area around Cleveland can expect to see an average of about 120 ads next week paid for by the two candidates and groups supporting them ? more than 17 a day. There were similar, if somewhat less intense campaign-by-commercials under way across all the battleground states.

In many cases ? Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Virginia, Nevada among them ? competitive races for the Senate and even House contests added to the bombardment. So, too, campaign brochures, piling up in mailboxes earlier than past elections because of widespread pre-election day voting.

There was little mystery in the candidates' concentration on women voters. An AP-GfK survey taken in mid-September, when Obama was leading in the opinion polls, found that 8 percent of all likely votes were women who were either undecided or said they might change their minds.

Polls since the first debate two weeks ago show gains for Romney among women voters, a shift that Obama can ill afford given the traditional Republican advantage among men.

Democrats rebutted Romney's memory of the binders he received as the newly elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002.

On a conference call arranged by the Democratic National Committee, a former executive director of the Massachusetts Government Appointments Project said the group provided the resumes of women qualified for appointment unprompted. "To be perfectly clear, Mitt Romney did not request" them, said Jesse Mermell.

Romney quickly countered with a combination testimonial and fundraising appeal from Kerry Healey, who was his lieutenant governor in Massachusetts. She said he had named numerous women to his administration, adding, "He sought out our counsel, and he listened to our advice. We didn't always agree, but we were always respected."

Vice President Joe Biden's first stop of the day was in Greeley, Colo., where he mocked Romney on the same topic but in terms more pungent than Obama's. "What I can't understand is how he's gotten into this sort of 1950s time warp in terms of women," Biden said. "The idea he had to go and ask where a qualified woman was. He just should have come to my house. He didn't need a binder."

Republican Rep. Paul Ryan was in Berea, Ohio, where he said women were suffering under the economy as the end of Obama's term nears. "Twenty-six million women are trapped in poverty today. That's the highest rate in 17 years," he said. "We need to get people back to work."

In a lighter moment, he stopped by the football practice facility of the Cleveland Browns and lamented missing out on hunting season this fall. "I've got this election thing going on," he told Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas.

Career advice : CJR

Two accidents, two verbs:

In New Jersey, ?The car careened down the street and smashed into several parked cars before coming to a stop.?

In Florida, ?A Ford Explorer careered out of control, hitting the pedestrian on the sidewalk before smashing into a utility pole.?

If you?ve never heard ?career? used that way, you?re probably young.

?Career? as a verb traces to 1594, The Oxford English Dictionary says, meaning ?To take a short gallop, to ?pass a career?; to charge (at a tournament); to turn this way and that in running (said of a horse).? In 1830, it took on the meaning ?to move swiftly over? something, such as a street.

For many people, the verb ?careen? evokes the image of a vehicle swerving from side to side, out of control, often at high speed. Indeed, ?careen? is a sailing term to mean ?to heel over,? usually involving a vessel turning completely on its side. But many writers also use it to mean simply ?out of control,? regardless of whether there?s any side-to-side movement. That?s what gets some people?s knickers in a twist, because, they argue, a car hurtling down a road would have to be on two wheels to truly ?careen.? If it?s just racing, it ?careers.?

The OED says the use of ?careen? to mean ?To rush headlong, to hurtle, esp. with an unsteady motion? first appeared in 1923, and is chiefly an American usage. The British, it seems, still ?career? with abandon.

?Since the early 20th century,? Bryan A. Garner writes in his Modern American Usage, American English ?has tried to make careen do the job of career, as by saying that a car careened down the street.? It?s succeeding, apparently because so many Americans don?t want that kind of career: Stylebooks that used to advise writers to use ?career? now are mute.

Of the major style guides, only The Chicago Manual of Style still mentions it: ?The word career?s career as a verb meaning ?to go full speed? may be about over. Its duties have been assumed by careen (?to tip to one side while moving?), even though nothing in that verb?s definition denotes high speed. Still, careful writers recognize the distinction.?

Garner?s has a good explanation why that is so: ?It?s understandable why most people aren?t comfortable with this verbal usage of career. The word derived from a Latin term for road orpath, and later denoted a racetrack, but today people think of it as only a noun: the path of a life?s work.? Garner?s lists ?careen in the sense ?to move swervingly or lurchingly?? at Stage 4 of the five-stage Language-Change Index, the equivalent of a traffic warning. Still, Garner?s says, ?the most careful writers reserve career for this use.?

They?re probably also the ones who don?t get into accidents.

Coca-Cola's profit up even as sales disappoint - Charlotte Observer

NEW YORK The Coca-Cola Co. has a formula for growth in the volatile economic climate: sell more of its drinks in emerging markets and evolve its stable of products at home, where concerns over sugary drinks are intensifying.

The world's biggest beverage maker, which makes Sprite, Fanta, Minute Maid and Dasani water, said the strategy helped lift its global sales volume by 4 percent in the third quarter. But the Atlanta-based company was hit by unfavorable currency exchange rates, as well as pressures to keep prices in check in economically hard-hit regions in Asia and Europe.

Total revenue rose just 1 percent as a result, which was shy of Wall Street expectations.

In its flagship North American market, Coca-Cola has been relying on a shifting mix of products amid changing consumer tastes and criticism over the role sugary drinks play in fueling obesity rates.

The 2 percent bump in sales volume for the region was driven by what Coca-Cola refers to as its "still beverages," such as Powerade sports drinks and Fuze teas. Coke Zero, which was introduced in 2005 as a better-tasting alternative to traditional diet sodas, saw growth of 9 percent. But overall sales volume of its sodas in the region was flat from a year ago.

In an interview with the Associated Press, CEO Muhtar Kent said the U.S. market remains a growth area for the company. He noted that product innovation - such as mini-cans tailored to those watching their portions - has helped the company stay relevant and build market share.

Kent also cited the company's tests of natural, zero-calorie sweeteners for Fanta and Sprite as examples of ongoing renewal.

Taken together, Kent said that the results for the quarter show Coca-Cola has been able to "crack the calculus for growth" even in the tough economy.

Part of that strategy has been focusing on emerging markets such as India, where the ranks of middle-class consumers are growing rapidly. Coca-Cola estimates that per capita consumption of its drinks in the country is 12 servings a year, compared with 403 servings a year in the United States.

During the quarter, sales volume in India rose 15 percent with the Coca-Cola brand up 34 percent.

In China, volume rose just 2 percent after growing 11 percent in the year-ago period. Kent said the ongoing economic slowdown in the country is expected to impact the industry over the next six months, but that the market will still serve as a long-term driver of growth.

In Europe, the company said volume rose 1 percent for the period amid the challenging economy and bad weather. Revenue declined 8 percent because of unfavorable currency exchange rates and a less profitable mix of products.

Companies that do a lot of their business overseas are hurt when the dollar is strong because sales in other countries' currencies translate into fewer dollars back home.

Coca-Cola said it earned $2.31 billion, or 50 cents per share, for the period. That compares with $2.22 billion, or 48 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Not including one-time items, the company says it earned 51 cents per share, in line with analyst expectations.

Revenue rose 1 percent to $12.34 billion, but fell shy of Wall Street expectations of $12.4 billion. Not including the impact of currency exchange rates, revenue rose 6 percent.

For the year, the company said it expects costs for ingredients to ease.

Shares of Coca-Cola were down 23 cents to close at $37.90 Tuesday.

Netgear RAIDiator 5.3.6

Netgear recently released a firmware upgrade for its popular line of ReadyNAS devices. The upgrade is a major release, and Netgear's main push behind it is to make the ReadyNAS Duo and ReadyNAS NV+ more cloud-friendly. The new firmware, called Netgear's RAIDiator 5.3.6 is a welcome idea, because I found the included software to be the weakest component in what is excellent NAS hardware from Netgear. This new release however, is more like a fresh coat of paint slapped over services that already exist in Netgear's NASes. It doesn?t offer much improvement to the management and cloud capabilities of a Netgear NAS and actually makes management a little more complicated.

Download and New Capabilities
You can download the latest firmware from www.readynas.com. The new software also comes with any ReadyNAS device purchased as of September 11, 2012. ?Once the firmware is downloaded and installed, the NAS' interface is accessible by entering the IP address of the device through a browser, or by clicking the "setup" option in the RAIDar software Netgear ships with its NASes to locate the NAS on a network.

Some of the new and improved capabilities include ReadyDROP which allows users to sync, edit, store, retrieve, and view files from any ReadyDROP enabled device; remote backup for Time Machine; media streaming with ReadyDLNA; and a small business disaster recovery feature called ReadyNAS replicare.

Test Driving the New Firmware
Opening up the freshly upgraded interface on a ReadyNAS Duo, I noticed the UI hasn?t noticeably changed since the last software version. The home page still displays graphics indicating temperature of the device, overall health of the system, folder shares and any installed add-ons.

From this initial screen are several menu options: Configure, Documentation, Community, and How-To. The latter three are of course help resources with links to Netgear's site and forum?"Configure" is where you do device management.

Clicking "configure" opens up a new set of sub-menus. From these menus you can view and configure system and network settings. You can also enable features such as remote access and ReadyDROP, and do more advanced configuration such as enabling disk spin-down after a specific number of minutes, set back up options, and enable email alerts.

The problem with services like ReadyDROP and remote access is that there isn't any information within the interface on how to use ReadyDROP or how to remotely access the device. If you do a Web search on ReadyDROP, you'll find instructions on the service and that you need to install another app from Netgear?ReadyNAS remote?on any device you want to use ReadyDROP with. You also have to create a ReadyDROP account or use a ReadyNAS remote ID.

ReadyDROP and Beyond
ReadyDROP is easy enough to use and does allow you to access files on the NAS across any of your network devices and computers since it supports Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. The lack of any instruction or guidance on what you need to download to get ReadyDROP is bound to confuse new Netgear NAS customers.

Remote access is also not simplified with the new version's interface as far as I could tell. The interface does seem quicker and more responsive when navigating through it and making settings changes than before. There's a colorful, large toggle on-screen button you can click to enable remote access, but you still need to work with settings such as proxy server, incoming ports, port forwarding through a router?the new firmware doesn?t give any new or easier way to remotely access or manage the device.

The interface also allows you to access the Genie Apps Service?Netgear's app store (everyone needs an app store, these days). Clicking on Genie Apps for the first time, resulted in the message, "It appears that Genie Apps Service is turned off or this is your first time running Genie Apps Service?" Enabling the service requires logging into the Genie marketplace with, you guessed, yet another Netgear account.

So now we are up to three logins on the Netgear device: the initial admin password to get into the management interface, the remote ID login to use remote access and ReadyDROP, and now one for Genie marketplace. Netgear should take a cue from Microsoft and look into single-sign on capabilities. The multiple logins for multiple tasks is cumbersome.

To access the Genie marketplace also requires installing a Genie app locally (to get to the Internet-based Genie app store). My question is, why do I need to have this new firmware, a remote app, a local Genie app and access to a Genie cloud store. There's too much going on, and nothing is streamlined with the new firmware.

The new firmware also includes Netgear's highly-touted ReadyNAS Photos II. The original photo app was on the ReadyNAS Duo v2 I last looked at, and I found it problematic. I don't find much improvement with this latest version of the photo app.

Users buying a new NAS from Netgear will find ReadyNAS Photos II pre-installed. To begin using it is a matter of clicking the option to "Start sharing photos". There, you find a three-step process to do so: agreeing to a EULA, setting up a hostname for the NAS to share albums from the Internet, and then setting up UPnP on a router.

Most NAS owners tend to be technically savvier than average. I don't doubt that many will be able to get through these steps and even enable UPnP on their routers. However, those new to working with NASes may experience some confusion setting up ReadyNAS Photos II. The directions included in the steps are vague, especially the ones for setting up UPnP, and they're plagued with typos.

Once the photo app is configured, you can email invites to users to access albums, upload images taken with smartphones to the albums, and create slideshows complete with background music. Some of ReadyNAS Photo II's advanced features are likely to appeal to security-conscious users, such as sending an encrypted link for access to albums and establishing limits on downloadable image resolution. But the ReadyNAS Photo II setup process is still lengthy and can get complicated if you have problems enabling UPnP or the required port forwarding of traffic over port 8086. Advanced users can handle all that, but I don't think ReadyNAS Photo II poses any threat to Facebook photo sharing or Instagram anytime soon.

Not Enough of an Upgrade
Netgear's created this new firmware upgrade for purposes of making the ReadyNAS line of NAS device more cloud-based. I don't think the firmware achieves this. You still have lots of configuration, in fact the same type of configuration as before, to share data and remotely manage the NAS. With multiple sign-ins and apps to install, the management process also gets rather complex. I'd have preferred if the 5.3.6 firmware was all encompassing?a single portal from which I can get to the genie apps, access ReadyDROP (and get any ReadyDROP clients I need for any devices). Netgear needs to corral in all its services?which are plentiful and allow you to do lots with Netgear NASes?into one interface if possible. I can state that the performance of the firmware is peppier than the last version I tested on a Netgear NAS. That's good, but the new upgrade is a veneer for services that already exist. For networking management software, it?s a decent three stars, but could be better.

Planet with four suns disovered

Astronomers have found a planet whose skies are illuminated by four different suns - the first known of its type.

The distant world orbits one pair of stars and has a second stellar pair revolving around it.

It remains a mystery how the Neptune-like world avoids being pulled apart by the gravitational forces generated its four stars.

The find was made by volunteers using the Planethunters.org website along with a team from UK and US institutes.

The planet, located just under 5,000 light-years away, has been named PH1 after the Planethunters.org website.

It is thought to be a "gas giant" slightly larger than Neptune but over six times the size of the Earth.

"You don't have to go back too far before you would have got really good odds against one of these systems existing," Dr Chris Lintott, from the University of Oxford, told BBC News.

"All four stars pulling on it creates a very complicated environment. Yet there it sits in an apparently stable orbit.

That's really confusing, which is one of the things which makes this discovery so fun. It's absolutely not what we would have expected."

LILONGWE, Malawi (AP) ? Lots of mothers wake in the middle of the night to feed their babies, but not many get up to give a bottle to an infant elephant.

Jenny Webb adopted a baby boy elephant who was just a few weeks old in February. The orphaned elephant calf was named Moses after being found in the grasses of a riverbed by game rangers at Vwazi Wildlife Reserve in northern Malawi.

Rangers tried to find his family herd for two days without success, said the 48-year-old Webb, adding that the calf's mother was likely killed by elephant poachers. The illegal killing of elephants is rife in Africa, with conservation groups saying that tens of thousands of elephants are being killed each year for their ivory tusks.

Malawi's national parks did not have the funds to raise the little elephant, so Webb, the founder of the Jumbo Foundation an orphanage for large animals, took on the job of caring for the little pachyderm.

Moses weighs 100 kilograms (220 pounds) and each day he drinks 24 liters (6.3 gallons) of an infant formula that is boosted with coconut milk and 14 other ingredients.

"Elephants are extremely sensitive," said Webb. "It amazed me. We think of elephants as big, strong creatures but they are very emotional. Moses picks up on my feelings. If I am sad, he is nurturing. If I am angry, he quickly gets upset."

Webb has placed a mattress on the dining room floor where she and Moses curl up for the night. Moses gets up about every two hours and shuffles around the room until Webb wakes and gives him his bottle feed.

In the mornings, as Webb has a coffee and watches television, Moses throws his trunk over her shoulder and nuzzles his head against her.

Webb gets advice from veterinarians and from the Elephant Orphanage Project in Zambia, which for 16 years has offered similar support to baby elephants.

In the wild, a baby elephant would shelter underneath his mother to be shielded from the sun and remain warm and safe. To emulate this, Webb puts a blanket over Moses. His still tender hide is also protected with sunscreen and moisturizer.

Moses had to have a hernia operation not long after being taken in by Webb because his umbilical cord was damaged when he was born. He stopped eating because of the stress of the surgery and anesthetic and lost weight, but after force feedings the young elephant returned to a healthy weight, Webb said.

Caring for the baby elephant is a 24-hour job. Webb gets help from two employees Matimat Julius and Jim Tembo. All three take turns playing with Moses and using their arms to sweep the dust, the way a mother elephant would do with her trunk.

Like many toddlers, Moses likes to go outside and Webb takes him on daily walks with the family dogs.

"The dogs are like his herd," she said. "He socializes with them in the day and likes going for walks with them. He quickly established dominance with them. But at night, he herds the dogs outside. He doesn't like to sleep with the dogs. He likes to sleep with the cats, and me."

As soon as the sun goes down, Moses lies next to Webb on the makeshift bed.

In a few weeks, Moses is expected to start eating hay, grass, bark and horse feed along with his formula. He has started putting grass and leaves in his mouth but he is not yet eating them. By the time he is four he will stop having formula and will be eating vegetation. And when he is five, Webb plans to reintroduce Moses to life in the wild, possibly in the national park where he was found.

In the meantime Webb plans to raise funds to build a boma, an African-style corral, where Moses can live when he becomes too big for the house.

"By the time he is two years old, he will no longer be able to fit through the door and he will have to live outside," said Webb.

Webb wants to make Moses "an ambassador for elephants" to educate people against wildlife poaching.

Raising Moses has been challenging, said Webb, "but it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have raised children, and this is very similar, but you can't put an elephant in a pram (stroller)."

Webb said that raising Moses gave her the idea to start an orphanage for other animals.

"When we got Moses we found there is a desperate need for an orphanage for large animals. Elephants, hippos, buffalo, rhinos ... there is no place for those babies to go if their parents are killed," she said. "There are some places in Zambia and Kenya, but no place here in Malawi, so that is what I am working for."

"While we are questioning the boy, we are also awaiting for the medical report from the hospital, which will give us a correct picture", Siddaramappa said.
