What's the End Game for North Korea?
The WSJ's Michael Arnold speaks with the Rand Corporation's Scott Harold about China's strategic interests in North Korea and what North Korea hopes to achieve by escalating regional tensions.

I'm ... there are also suspicions that the appeal lay has close linkages to a lot of business interests in North Korea ... so it's possible to look at this and say that there are very different voices ... the one I think you should pay more attention to is the military and top leadership who could not have some of the more liberal leaning tendencies the lot of academics and or in China too ... and I think there's reason to think that China's strategic interests will be good to continue to defend North Korea against ... sanctions from outside or pressure from United States its allies ... since ...

I just think you know it's worth bearing in mind that North Korea operates essentially like a criminal enterprise ... they don't have any incentive to try to bring down ... a conflict that would end their regime ... so they're probably much more likely to be doing the first three the last one although of course the possibility of a conflict this unintended is always ... there and we have to be worth a ... visit ... speaking of the new leader in South Korea initially should reacted to a North Korean threats by offering up ... to resume food aid ... now it seems like for her rhetoric it is also becoming a ... bit more aggressive ... how would you care trust or response also differ from the passive ministrations ... well it's understand South Korean you really have to look back past two administrations are in the past three administrations ... of three administrations back you had a sunshine policy that was designed to try to reassure North Korea to try to assuage it by giving him food assistance ... and that was carried on by the ... present Noble jumped to two steps back ... of the most recent present adopted a completely different line is that when they go hard line on North Korea were to push them almost to the brink ... think which are seen with on the stock is essentially ... saying on the one hand if you cooperate with us their daycare ... on the other hand if you wanna fight with us to be a stick ... and just trying to work on both sides of that that point ...

Mentoring Will Cure The Real Estate Paralysis Of Analysis
One of the biggest problems facing the new Real Estate investor is getting off the dime and pulling the trigger. Professional course collectors and boot camp attendees abound in the real estate industry. Some of the students that I take on have told me the amounts they have spent on courses, boot camps,... More retreats, conventions and other real estate related events and it staggers the imagination. Some of these students should have just gone out and bought a house with the money they spent on their real estate education. Don't get me wrong I'm a believer in education because the cost of not having the education can be enough to run them out of the business altogether.
Having said all of that there comes a time when you have to put your fear aside, bite the bullet and take action. The problem as I see it is that most people seem to think that if they make a mistake all is lost and it's over. The fear factor is alive and well and is hard to overcome if you are going it alone. In addition if all you have is a manual to get you through you quickly find that they are guides not the answer man and the real world often renders them useless.
Most new investors have either been told or some how come to believe that if they don't know it all before they pull the trigger they don't stand a chance. Nonsense! The only way to learn anything in the real world is to go out there and slop it up. How do you think I know that? One thing to keep in mind is that you can slop it up king size or regular. Most people when left to their own devices go the king size route but those that don't go down the road alone fall into the regular group.
This is where a mentor comes into the picture. Mentors are there to get students to take action and to prevent the student from wallowing around with the king size group. Mistakes are part of the learning curve but there is no learning curve if there is no action taken. The object is to take action and minimize the mistakes. Mentors are an invaluable asset to get the investor motivated and moving in the right direction.
Nothing in life comes for free and the cost of a real estate education can be pretty stiff unless you know where to shop. That brings me to my Earn While You Learn Lease Option Mentoring Program. Come on you didn't think you'd make it all the way through this article without a plug did ya? Anyway, I have put together a mentoring program that takes the sticker shock out of getting a mentor on your side.

In 2005, the Indiana state legislature passed a law requiring all voters to show government-issued photo identification before being allowed to cast a ballot.
State officials promoted the measure as protection against voter fraud. Opponents denounced it as a thinly veiled attempt to suppress Democratic voter turnout in Indiana.
On Wednesday, the issue arrives at the US Supreme Court where the justices are being asked to decide whether requiring would-be voters to show photo ID violates the right to vote.
The case is being closely watched because it could establish new constitutional benchmarks in advance of the approaching 2008 general elections. If the high court upholds the Indiana law, the action would give a green light to the kinds of aggressive efforts to fight voter fraud favored by many Republicans. If instead the court invalidates the Indiana law, it would signal a heightened duty to keep it as easy as possible for all citizens to exercise their right to vote.
"This case is going to have serious ramifications not only for photo-ID laws but for what the right to vote means, and to what extent state and local governments have the ability to infringe that right," says Jon Greenbaum, director of the Voting Rights Project at the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
Other analysts say the Indiana voter-ID case is being blown out of proportion.
"There may be much less at stake in this case than meets the eye," Bradley Smith, former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, said in a recent press briefing. "For all the excitement it has generated, the fact is there is very little evidence that there is a lot of voter fraud that these [ID] laws will prevent, and there is very little evidence that people aren't able to vote because of these laws."
Mr. Smith says the Supreme Court should have waited for a better case. Others disagree.
"Indiana has enacted the most stringent and restrictive voter identification requirement in the United States," writes Kenneth Falk, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, in his brief to the court. "The severe burden imposed by the statute is not, and cannot be, justified."
While the vast majority of Indiana voters possess either a driver's license or some other form of photo ID, an estimated 43,000 Indiana residents do not. The state will issue a photo identification card free of charge to anyone who requests it, but critics say assembling the three documents necessary to get the free ID card can cost significant time and money.
The burden of the law falls primarily on elderly, disabled, poor, and minority voters. Those who fall within such classifications generally vote for Democrats, critics of the law say.
Two Democratic officials, the Indiana Democratic Party, and four public interest groups challenged the law in US district court. A federal judge ruled the law was constitutional. The ruling was upheld 2 to 1 by the Seventh US Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. The Supreme Court agreed in September to hear the appeal.
The law was passed in recognition that Indiana is increasingly vulnerable to in-person election fraud, according to Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher. It was not enacted to undercut Democratic voters and candidates, he says.
In his brief to the court, Mr. Fisher says those who sued to overturn the law lack legal standing to bring such a suit because none of them has been harmed by the law. There is no evidence, he adds, any individual has ever been prevented from voting because of the photo ID law.
"How onerous can the law be if a major political party, two seasoned candidates, and four substantial political interest groups cannot find even one person injured by it?" Fisher writes.
Opponents of the law counter that no one has ever been prosecuted for in-person voter fraud in Indiana, and there have been no reports of anyone posing as someone else while trying to vote in an Indiana election.
"What the legislators who passed the Photo ID Law did know was that it would burden voting by a group of eligible voters who lack the requisite identification because they do not drive and have no other regular need for state-issued photo ID," writes Washington lawyer Paul Smith, in his brief on behalf of the Indiana Democratic Party.
Mr. Smith says the law will discourage or deter low-income, minority, disabled, and senior-citizen voters from going to the polls. "Because these voters tend to support Democratic candidates, there was good reason to think that the suppression of turnout caused by the new law would primarily harm Democrats," Smith writes.
"The law was passed by a party-line vote shortly after the Republican Party won control of both houses of the state legislature as well as the governor's office," Smith writes.
Lawyers for Indiana say the opponents' case is based on speculation. A published study of Indiana voter turnout since the photo ID law took effect shows that voter turnout increased statewide by about 2 percent. They say the study did not find any reduction in voter turnout in counties with higher percentages of minority, poor, elderly, or less educated residents.
Opponents of the law say that the offer of a free ID card does not necessarily reduce the burden on certain potential voters. For those who do not drive, merely getting to the state ID office involves an investment in time and logistics. In addition, gathering the necessary paperwork can be problematic.
They cite the case of Theresa Clemente, who moved from Massachusetts to Indiana in 1991. Earlier in the case, she testified that she made three unsuccessful trips to the state motor-vehicles bureau to obtain a free photo ID card.
Ms. Clemente arrived with her Social Security card, her voter-registration card, her property tax bill, a utility bill, and a credit card. She was told she must produce a copy of her birth certificate.
But when she returned with the document, she was told she needed a certified copy of the birth certificate.
The certified birth certificate cost $28 and was mailed to her 14 days later. When she returned to the motor-vehicles bureau, she was told that because her birth certificate used only her maiden name she must also provide a certified copy of her marriage license.
"For many affluent Americans it may be hard to imagine life without a driver's license, a passport, or other government-issued photo ID," writes Smith in his brief. "The reality is that, across the country, about 12 percent of voting-age Americans lack a driver's license," he writes.

... if the result of a worldwide shift to a plant-based diet sounds like a right-winger's worst nightmare, it's worth pointing out that continuing to eat as much meat as we currently do promises to result in a left-winger's worst nightmare: In a world of untrammeled global warming, where disastrous weather events are routine, global conflicts will increase, only the wealthy will thrive, and the poor will suffer.
Let's try a middle path. We're not all going to become vegetarians, but most of us can stop giving our money to factory farms—the biggest and worst offenders, from a pollution and public health perspective. We can eat less meat than we currently do, especially meat from methane-releasing ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, etc.). Just because a sudden global conversion to vegetarianism would have jarring effects doesn't mean we can't gradually reduce our consumption of meat, giving the market time to adjust. We not only can; we must. After all, with the world's population slated to grow to 9 billion by 2050, we'll be needing to take some of the 25 percent of the world's land area back from the cows.

Bleach 187 Episode Discussion Thread
Como esta usted, Bleach-fans? Yo vengo en paz. nadie comió todo el queso podrido? Yo lo hice. Yes, enough about me. Let's talk about the episode. This week's episode title has impressed on me since the last week. Hmph... So can Ichigo deliver? Critiques are ready I'm sure.
Enjoy the discussion. Ta!
Absolutely no manga spoilers in any anime-only threads such as the weekly Episode Discussion threads. That means, no hints, or vague remarks about a future event from the manga, even within the spoiler tags. Inability to observe this rule will result in a BAN!

Ok, looks like we'll finally see the soap opera twist of the Bleach season once we see what the meeting between Amagai and Yamamoto is all about, Ichigo will be blasting "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" before a battle with someone, and we'll be one step closer towards making a return to Hueco Mundo in this messed-up time-space convulsion...
Uhh...Oh, and uhh, anyone remember Enryuu and Kenryuu? Yeah, them...What's up with them? Will we finish this arc soon without even saying goodbye to them?

There was nothing wrong to take revenge for his father, it was just the means he chose to try to achieve it that made him a villain.And that is why he can't win.
He was a good character, he looks cool with the super bakkutou on his right arm and his bankai on the left, definately a final boss for the closure of this arc.

One needs an effort, a true effort, to gain sympathy for a typical Shounen lead. Dude, why are you sticking your nose in a fight that doesn't concern you? Do you know how long we have yearned to see Yamaji to do something more other than igniting himself in flames with his portable gasoline can and the mysterious match? Yama-ji is stading there, listening to the exchange with Amagai (more like whining... wah wah wah... baby cry) about how he killed Amagai's father. Yama-ji acknowledges that he killed Amagi's father. He then looks at him, but falls short of saying, "yeah, what about it." That seems to irk Amagai a lot. Amagai launches a fire attack at Yama-ji. Yamaji is still standing nonchalantly.
And that's where I look at my screen dumbstruck.
This punk Ichigo gets right in the middle of the incoming attack toward Yama-ji, and nullifies the attack. What's worse, he gets into an argument with Amagi. This exchange of dialogue reads something like this:
Amagi: Looks like you don't understand. Get the f*** out.Then Ichigo powers up. Only if this twerp knew that Amagi can absorb the Shinigmai power, and has done the same thing just moments earlier to Yamaji. Amagai actually bragged about it earlier in Ichigo's presence on how Yama-ji can't use his power.
I don't think I need to elaborate further how agitated I was feeling toward this noble Shounen hero who typically is very clueless. Why, oh why, are you defending Yama-ji? Surely he isn't the ruling Captain class just because this old man looks ripped without his shirt? And then the worst happen: we ran out of time. Further development have to wait till the next episode.
I never cried watching an anime of any sort, but I tell you this.... I was very close in this occasion.
I think I need lunch, and then I'll hit the gym to do some punching. I'm also considering to stick Ichigo's face on the bag so I can go to work with extra motivation.
Just kidding. I'm not a dork.
Seriously, Ichigo ruined the episode for me. I don't think we will have another chance to see Yama-ji fight in a manga-adapted episode, so this anime-originial/filler episodes are the only chance we got. And this dum-dum shounen hero is being a poor sport and trying to steal the spotlight.
P.S. Some screens:

Meh, just watched the raw cause i thought it'd be a awesome ep. Can't say it totally isn't, but it was pretty lame. Amagai has a asthetically appealing release, but heck, its hax. And i'm betting 2 bucks that next episode ichigo overcomes it either by raw power, by using hollow or goes visit zangetsu ojii san.
As for raison d'etres, Bleach never had any convincing ones, tbh. Renji? "You made rukia get a death sentence, so i'm going to kill you! I know you're coming here to save her, but i'm still going to kill you anyway!" Byakuya? "cause central 46 said so" Tousen? "Because murder is righteous" Kenpachi? CAUSE I LIKE FIGHTING AND FIGHTING AND FIGHTING AND FIGH- Ichigo? "FRIENDS! PROTECT! RAWWRR BANKAI!!!" Who else did i miss out?
I get a feeling animes like bleach try to add a level of maturity by mixing in a grey area of good/bad by showing that the bad guys still have a screwed righteous reason for doing so, but the show itself has such a clear delineation between good and bad that you end up with this kind of stuff, 'hey, i think you sound kinda right. But the character profile says you're evil. So i'm gonna kill you ^_^' Bleh.

From cradle to kindergarten in Sacramento
by David Kirp
The buzz in Sacramento is that early childhood education might get a healthy infusion of state funds this year. It's a top priority in the Legislature, and Gov.Jerry Brown, while not leading the charge, appreciates the potential impact of giving kids a running start.
There's overwhelming evidence of the life-changing potential of good prekindergarten. Analyses of model preschools, which tracked youngsters from their preschool days to their 40s, have shown its lifelong benefits. Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman calculates that society reaps an astonishing $7 for every $1 invested in these mini-academies. Recent studies in Oklahoma and New Jersey, two states with high-quality pre-K, conclude that preschoolers do better in school. They're less likely to be left back or assigned to special education, which boosts their chances of earning a diploma while saving public dollars.
Yet, as any parent can attest, children start learning well before pre-K. Babies, says Berkeley psychologist Alison Gopnik, are scientists in the crib, learning from the moment they're born. By the time they're 4 years old and ready for preschool, a much-cited study reports, youngsters from poor families have heard 32 million fewer words than better-off kids. They're nearly a year behind, and it's not surprising that they have a hard time catching up. New research shows that this language gap emerges much earlier - by age 2, toddlers from disadvantaged homes are half a year behind well-to-do children in vocabulary and processing language skills.
Here's the takeaway: High-quality preschool can narrow the achievement gap. Educating infants and toddlers, by supporting strong families and providing positive learning experiences, can prevent that gap. We need both.
Whether the promise of early childhood education is realized depends on its quality. But quality costs money, and although many states are increasing the number of preschoolers, they're doing so on the cheap. States spend, on average, less than $4,000 per pre-K youngster - that's about a third of what it costs to educate a K-12 student. This stinginess shortchanges kids, because bargain-basement prekindergarten accomplishes nothing.
In California, the caliber of state-funded preschools is uneven. Sacramento spends less than $4,000 per child, which doesn't begin to pay for what's needed. About half of California's preschool teachers have associate degrees or more modest credentials. They earn half of what K-12 teachers make and, as you'd expect, the turnover rate is high. While these teachers try their hardest, a bachelor's degree-level education is necessary to gain a nuanced understanding of how children learn - how they acquire the cognitive, 3R skills that prepare them for school as well as the social and emotional ("use your words, wait your turn") skills they need in life.
In every preschool program proven to make a difference, the teachers have bachelor's degrees and have specialized in early childhood education. They're paid the same as K-12 teachers, teach small classes and use a curriculum based on evidence, not hunch. California should follow suit.
In his 2013 and 2014 State of the Union addresses, President Obama urged a $75 billion investment in a comprehensive, top-drawer birth-to-5 initiative, but that proposal was dead on arrival in Congress, where partisan gridlock rules. And while several states, including New York and Michigan, are funneling more money to pre-K, no one is paying attention to the babies.
If the early education legislation that's on the table SB837 (Darrell Steinberg) and SB1123 (Carol Liu) becomes law, California would be the nation's leader in delivering both high-quality, evidence-based preschool for 4-year-olds and comprehensive support for infants and toddlers from disadvantaged families. What a powerful declaration of our priorities - and what a boon for the children.
Invest in kids
SB837 (Steinberg), the Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2014, expands access to voluntary, high quality pre-k to all four year olds in California, helping all children be ready for success in school.
SB1123 (Liu), the Strong Families, Strong Children Act of 2014, expands access to high quality child care and parent support services for low income infants and toddlers, supporting early language and social emotional development during the critical first three years of life.

Two dissenting judges accuse the majority of having a case of the "technological heebie-jeebies," and note that the key question is whether a "reasonable juror" could conclude that the evidence in question was authentic. In other cases where the authenticity of a piece of evidence is disputed, the typical practice is to let the jury make the call, unless the court concludes that "no reasonable juror" could find the evidence authentic. The dissenting judges fault the majority for not following the same practice in this case.I don't see how it's a case of technological heebie-jeebies at all. If anything, it's the reverse. It's recognizing that (1) such evidence is easy to fake and (2) there are some very easy steps to authenticate the evidence. In a case such as a murder case, isn't it a reasonable standard to make sure that such evidence is, in fact, authentic?

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, will now be available to some 6 million Catholics in the Indian state of Kerala starting today — the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle .
While the daily paper comes out six days a week in Italian, the paper also publishes weekly editions in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and a monthly paper in Polish. The Malayalam edition is a translation of the English-language weekly edition and will be the newspaper's first publication in a language that does not use the Roman alphabet.
In a message sent June 25, Pope Benedict XVI called the new publication "a highly significant event in the life of the church in India" since it will keep so many Catholics fully informed about the ministry of the pope and the Vatican and strengthen the bonds of Kerala's Catholic community to the See of Peter.

Bikini wax on, wax off with Strip waxing salon
In life, there are beauty duties and there is pampering. Now, in my book, hair removal, especially bikini hair removal, comes under beauty duty. I tend to manicure my bikini line at home, mainly because previous experiences in that area have been none too pretty. My one and only Brazilian waxing experience was particularly harrowing. It lasted what felt like a lifetime (in reality only 45 minutes) because the woman wielding the wax strips kept getting stuck, if you know what I mean. Horrendous.
So it is with trepidation that I enter Strip, the dedicated waxing salon, in Chelsea where I'm reviewing the newly launched i-bar, for all things brow-related, and, gulp, the Brazilian wax. What's that phrase I'm groping for... taking one for the team?
As soon as I enter the lavishly styled boutique-cum-waiting room at Strip's three-storey boutique, I'm immediately more optimistic about the experience. Stella McCartney, Elle Macpherson Intimates and Calvin Klein lingerie greet me. Then my therapist, the lovely Carleigh Rayner, leads me to the Chocolate room – an opulent boudoir complete with chandelier, comfy bed, velvet drapes and embossed wallpaper. She tells me the treatment rooms are themed according to the 'flavoured' Lycon waxes used – chocolate, berry, lavender and gold (this will leave you shimmering).
We discuss my Brazilian requirements (since you ask, I opt to leave a triangle rather than the 'traditional' landing strip. Carleigh says a lot of people don't realize you can do this.) and Carleigh sets to work putting me at ease by asking me to select what I'd like to watch on the plasma TV (nice touch). I channel surf while she cleanses the area, applying the pre oil so that the wax takes hold more effectively. Then we begin with the wax. I'm told the hard Lycon wax is just the thing for dealing with pesky bikini lines because it really moulds itself around even short hairs and ensures they're pulled out at the root. Apparently, the thing about using linen or paper strips is that they act as an extra barrier -- a middle man if you will -- between the wax and the hair making the hair more likely to break.
Carleigh speedily whizzes around, going from side to side so if I want to chicken out early I can. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt... but it didn't hurt much. Because it happens so quickly and the wax comes off directly it doesn't sting half as much, plus Carleigh's technique (universal across all Strip the practitioners) of adding pressure immediately after removing wax helps. After she applies cooling Tea Tree lotion and I'm smooth as a baby's bum. There's no stickiness, no post-stinging and irritation. And this is still true at bedtime after I've been out all evening in skinny jeans.
Now onto hair removal of a gentler variety: I also trialled the new i-bar for brow and lash care, located in the white, airy basement, complete with yet another plasma TV. Tamanna Sahatu is my brow guru – she has 20 years' threading experience, and she's soon sized me up and whipped my brows into a flattering, more streamlined arch. And it doesn't hurt a bit. It's true what they say - having your eyebrows shaped really does give you an instant facelift.
And, I don't know if I want to admit this (but I will)... While checking out my brows in the mirror, Tamanna tactfully had a word with me, saying, 'I think you need your top lip doing'. Now, I've been wondering if it's time I tended to this but was worried about upkeep. I appreciate her honesty. Who else is going to tell me I've got a shadow? She soon gets rid of it; this does sting a bit, but it's worth it. My experience is topped off with an amazing Indian head massage. I leave feeling preened, pampered and like a new woman... not at all like I've just been doing obligatory beauty duty.

to the ACC."
"That's a huge commitment, one that they never had in the Big East. In fact, it was well-known they would not have gone to the Big East in football no matter what situation played out."
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick and president Rev. John Jenkins said they have no intention of forgoing football independence and that it is "central" to the school's identity. But if negotiations on a new television contract with NBC – the current deal expires in 2015 – deadlock, or if football's postseason structure changes again …
This was written by David Teel in September and I think a lot of people missed the significance of how this is trending. I didn't because I heard it was going this way almost 10 years ago. Here is the link and copy of the complete article since you might get blocked on the link: http://www.dailypress.com/sports/tee...,2101869.story
Notre Dame's partial ACC membership likely will cost his school short-term, but Pittsburgh athletic director Steve Pederson envisions far more long-term dividends, and perhaps, the ultimate payoff.
The conference and Notre Dame unveiled their partnership – five football games annually and full membership in other sports – Wednesday, almost a year to the day after the ACC announced the additions of Pitt and Syracuse.
"I'm happy with the agreement that we got," Pederson told me over lunch. "I think what's very significant in that agreement is the fact that should they at any point in time give up (football) independence that they come to the ACC.
"That's a huge commitment, one that they never had in the Big East. In fact, it was well-known they would not have gone to the Big East in football no matter what situation played out."
Notre Dame has called the Big East home since 1995, and over time its partial membership seemed to irritate the fully committed. Search online for Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma's classic rant for evidence.
But Pederson, whose school exits the Big East for the ACC next year, said he never felt any resentment toward the Fighting Irish, and doesn't anticipate any in the ACC.
"We've had a great, long-term relationship with Notre Dame," he said. "I just never saw that as an issue in the Big East, as much as you heard talk about it. … We never personally subscribed to that. They were really historically our closest partner in the Big East."
Pederson relayed that experience to ACC commissioner John Swofford during negotiations with Notre Dame.
"John is great. He talks to everybody in the league about everything," Pederson said. "So you always know what's going on. And he and I talked about a myriad of things, including Notre Dame. You didn't know how all of this would play itself out. I didn't know if we'd get to an agreement. But I'm glad that we did."
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick and president Rev. John Jenkins said they have no intention of forgoing football independence and that it is "central" to the school's identity. But if negotiations on a new television contract with NBC – the current deal expires in 2015 – deadlock, or if football's postseason structure changes again …
"None of us could have predicted what transpired in the last two years," Pederson said, "and so you can't predict what the future might hold. But it's nice to have the commitments that if things change, you know where they're going. That's pretty important.
"I think one thing they'll find is, once they're in the ACC and they're dealing with all these people, they're going to be just like us, which is, they're going to be ecstatic at the relationships. Whatever our expectations were, everything has surpassed that."
Even without full membership, Pederson believes Notre Dame will increase the ACC's television value and give the conference more leverage in arranging its secondary bowl lineup.
Notre Dame's agreement to play five football games each season against the ACC, rotating among the 14 full-time members, figures to curtail Pitt's annual series against the Irish, contracted through 2016. The rivalry dates to 1909, and this marks its fifth consecutive season.
Pederson hopes the interruption allows the Panthers to renew a series with Penn State. So with sacrifice comes opportunity.
"I've always admired the fact that the NFL always does what's right for the league," Pederson said. "I think that's the reason they're so strong and so viable. They've always put the league above individual teams. And when I'm in the ACC I feel that same way.
"You know, people already made some scheduling concessions when we came into the league. Some people gave up some home-and-home basketball series they would have loved to continue. But they did what was right for the league. Now this is kind of our turn to do what's right for the league."
Pitt basketball coach Jamie Dixon, a confessed realignment junkie, said he was not surprised at Notre Dame's ACC decision. In fact, shortly after the Panthers received their invitation last year, Dixon bumped into Irish coach Mike Brey.
"I'll see you there," Dixon said Brey told him.
The Notre Dame news resonated minimally with Pitt football coach Paul Chryst, whose team faces Virginia Tech and Logan Thomas on Saturday.
"They're on our schedules anyway," Chryst said, immediately launching into more pressing matters. "What's Virginia Tech gonna do on third down, and how are we gonna stop the big quarterback?"
NOTE: I interviewed Chryst, Dixon and Pederson in conjunction with my trip here for Saturday's game. Look for much more from them about Pitt's 2013 ACC arrival in Saturday's Daily Press and here online.

Hey Guys,
Been following your forum for a while and finally decided to start posting.
I just relocated from North Carolina to Santa Clara, and spent the last few years in the Outer Banks kiting. I've scoped out 3rd Ave and Coyote Point Park so far. Planning on looking at Alameda as well.
I've been spoiled with waste deep water for the past few years, so deep/cold water will be a new experience.
Just picked up a 4/3 wetsuit, any recommendations as a good place to do my first session in the bay? Any advice on things I should be aware of?
Looking forward to seeing you guys out there!

Rhubarb and apple streusel
I hate the name forced rhubarb, as it sounds a bit violent – I always wonder what the poor rhubarb was forced to do. Of course, I'm being silly; "forced" in this context means that it is grown out of season and indoors - it is also the most glorious shade of pink imaginable. Usually all my cakes are made with garden (free range?) rhubarb which is a summer crop.
This is an interesting cake as there isn't actually any 'cake' part to the dish! It's fruit sandwiched between crumbly streusel, the bottom layer of which bakes down into a base that is part cakey and part biscuity and totally delicious. You can see what I mean in these photos:
As it bakes the fruit releases juices into the bottom layer of crumble. In order not to lose any of these I used a cake tin liner which is an all in one liner i.e. no joins or gaps. It's a good idea to use one of these not only to catch all the fruity juices but also because this type of cake is always quite fragile until it has cooled and a liner makes it easier to pick up and move.
The other curious thing with this cake is that it's bigger going into the oven than coming out – which is the opposite of practically every other cake. Going into the oven the cake is piled up to the top of the tin, but as it cooks the fruit breaks down.
The cake is so packed with fruit you can see it trying to burst free in this photo:
The tart acidity of the rhubarb teamed with the sweet apple and almond crumble is a delightful combination. You could serve the cake warm with custard for dessert or at room temperature with whipped cream. I added a little custard to my cream as rhubarb and custard is a classic that must be adhered to whenever possible.
For the fruit:
4 eating apples, peeled, cored and diced
300g rhubarb
80g golden caster sugar
For the streusel:
250g plain flour
125g ground almonds
125g golden caster sugar
250g unsalted butter, diced – use it straight from the fridge, the colder the better
To serve: custard or cream
How to make:
- Preheat oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/ Gas mark 5.
- Line a 20cm round springform tin.
- Chop the rhubarb into approximately 3cm chunks and place in a bowl with the diced apple.
- Sprinkle over the sugar and stir through the fruit so all of it is coated. Put to one side.
- Put all the ingredients for the streusel into the bowl of a food processor and blitz to fine crumbs. It is vital that the butter is cold otherwise you will get a dough rather than a crumble. If this does happen, all is not lost – simply refrigerate and then grate.
- Press a smidgen over half of the streusel mix into the prepared cake tin.
- Place the rest of the streusel in the fridge – I found this stopped it getting warm and clumpy.
- Tip all the fruit on top and then, using the palm of your hand, press down quite firmly. There is a lot of fruit and you need to compress it in order to fit the rest of the streusel on top.
- Scatter the remaining streusel on top. It should come up to the very brim of the tin.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour or until the top is golden and crispy and you can see juices bubbling up. Mine took a little longer at 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack.
- Serve either at room temperature with some whipped cream or warm with custard.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

I'm so glad you explained what the rhubarb was forced to do :) The fruit trying to burst free is priceless, as is the recipe.
Rhubarb is ridiculously expensive here; 14 ringgit a pop!

I've been looking for a recipe like this for a long time! There is actually a little bake shop that has something similar but the bottom is almost like a shortbread and then a layer of strawberries with a crumble mixture on top. Simply delightful!

"After the first exile, there is no other."
—Rosellen Brown, The Autobiography of My Mother, 1976
The great wheel of the year has turned once more, and I find myself back at the beginning again. Not at the start of a brand new year, but rather, at the anniversary of my father's death.
I was eight years old when he died, on January 8, 1977, after six long months of decline from lung cancer. In the family's last-minute midnight scramble to the King's Daughters Hospital to offer a final farewell, I was adjudged too young and too asleep to wake up for the ride.
I found out that he had died when I crawled from bed at dawn the next morning, yawning and jonesing for cartoons, only to find a bathrobed neighbor stoking the fireplace, and my father disappeared into ether.
That singular fact has been the still point of my turning world in the decades since.
There have been years that I have woken in the early morning and glanced at the clock around one, the time that he died, as if to make up for having been asleep in bed as a child. The day has always hung shrouded, as though there were a tendril of kudzu hanging over it.
More recently, I have stood on the marble solea of my church in front of the icon of Jesus, clutching one or more of my squirming children, as the priest offered prayers in my father's memory at my request.
Squirming children, I might add, that my father never knew, as he never knew any of the grandchildren his children would bear.
It goes without saying, he never actually knew me. He was sixty when he died, an age that seems impossibly young to me now, given that three of my five siblings have now reached that age, and I am forty-four.
My son will turn nine in March, and I realize now that the whole year he has been eight, I've been holding my breath, half-consciously wanting on his behalf to make sure that I don't die, either.
My father is the long shadow that has fallen over my life. But while a shadow can be ominous, and full of portent, it can also be an unexpected shelter—think of a frightened child from a storybook, creeping along a gritty street, who is heartened to find that the slightly older hero-kid is the one who has snuck up behind, to protect him.
Whatever we know or do not know about the temporal fate of the dead, it is the tradition of Orthodox Christians to pray for them, to commemorate them at regular intervals, and into perpetuity.
I have even come to know my father in death, I would venture to say, and knowing him thus has given me a way and a role of knowing him that my siblings, who knew him in the flesh right up to adulthood, did not (and it's true, did not need to) have.For them, he is permanently the soft-spoken, perpetually-distracted middle-aged small-town dentist—walking slowly in his mail-ordered Knapp work shoes, crawling into bed after dinner to listen to football on the radio and read the Clarion-Ledger newspaper, the bedside lamp casting a giant outline of the pages on the pine-paneled wall.
I remember this father, too, and in the mere eight years I knew him, he provided enough of an example of fathering that I never lost the memory or the significance of the gift: The phone ringing in the dead of night, some barely understandable country voice complaining of a toothache, and my father dressed within minutes with his coattail hanging out, ready to head downtown and pull the tooth.
The black folks in my hometown, even after Integration, were reluctant to come to my father's waiting room, and so he would make house calls: at nights, on weekends. When he died, we found a drawerful of unpaid bills from dozens of patients, of all backgrounds and races.
This Christmas we pledged to get my son a shelter dog—if he fulfills his behavioral contract. When we do, I will tell him of the time my father marched out into the street, to pick up the neighbors' dog that had been struck by a car. My father bandaged the three broken legs, made three sets of splints from Popsicle sticks, and nursed the dog for a month in a cardboard box.
The shadow, I said, can also keep us warm.
And of course there are not-so-good things: father-temper, and the emotional unavailability characteristic of fathers of that era. All the more poignant, then, that my sister remembers when a 1960s documentary on poverty in the Mississippi Delta was released, and the privation just steps from our door made my father crumple and weep.
This same father would no doubt be bemused by the neo-traditionalist Christian I have become—he who fled the rural Baptist church and who was firmly on the side of Progress, which to him meant medicine, mechanized agriculture, and effective vaccines.
"The good old days were not always such," he said once, turning to face me from the front seat of the car: one of my last memories of him.
He was born two months premature, weighing only one pound. As a toddler he had polio, and if not for the diligent massages by his own father, a country doctor, he might never have walked at all.
I hope that my siblings have told their children these stories. Perhaps knowing him more fully, they do not have my manic urge to recover every detail.
The Apostle Paul's passion for the enfleshed Christ he had never seen was such that he spent the rest of his life inhabiting and reconstructing. I like to think my desire is akin to his; I collect details as though reassembling the tesserae of broken china.
If nothing else, I can be custodian of the fragments.

WILLIAMSBURG — Back in the days when Lauren Doughtie's driver was as tall as she was, she already knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life, and she wasn't afraid to let everybody know it.
She was the fourth-grader who for a class project at Nansemond-Suffolk Academy wrote a letter to Wake Forest's athletic department stating she had every intention of earning a golf scholarship.
A few years later, after playing varsity golf with the boys at Nansemond-Suffolk from the time she was a freshman, she was the girl whose license plate on her first car — a white 2002 Jeep Liberty — read "LPGA2B." She kept that tag for almost seven years, until her aspirations started to become a little more realistic.
Now, she's where she wants to be — a full-fledged member of the LPGA Tour preparing for this week's Kingsmill Championship in Williamsburg — but there's a lot more she hopes to achieve.
"There are days that obviously sometimes seem a little harder or a little longer, but I guess the time when it starts to feel like a job is when it's time to re-evaluate," said Doughtie, who moved to Suffolk from Williamston, N.C., with her family when she was about 1 1/2 years old.
"I mean, how many people would love to be in my position?"
Doughtie, a 26-year-old graduate of Nansemond-Suffolk and North Carolina State, is dealing with the typical struggle for consistency many LPGA Tour rookies must handle. She's missed the cut in four of five tournaments, but it's not as if she hasn't had memorable moments.
In March, when she was in Phoenix playing in her fourth pro tournament, she made the cut, proceeded to shoot a 66 in the final round and finished tied for 43rd at eight-under par. Her final round 66 was four shots better than her playing partner, Yani Tseng, who was the No. 1 player in the world at the time.
As is the case with many rookies, putting has betrayed Doughtie at times, but she's been strong in several other statistical categories. She enters the Kingsmill tournament 16th on the tour in driving distance (264.42 yards), 24th in sand saves (60 percent) and 25th in greens in regulation (71.3 percent), but she's just 145th in putts per round (32.75).
"She's worked very hard at (putting) for the last 12 months, and she's improved," said T.J. Young, Doughtie's coach and the director of golf at Cedar Point Country Club in Suffolk. "Unfortunately, she's in a little different arena now, a little more pressure, a little more self-pressure.
"I think the first thing I've seen with other players, and she's falling right in line, is until you get seasoned out there, you're putting is the first thing that kind of shows the stress and the pressure."
Ironically, it was her putting last December that actually helped get her to the LPGA Tour.
After winning last June on the LPGA's developmental Symetra Tour, which she started playing in '09, she was exempt from having to play in the first two stages of the LPGA Qualifying School. She went into the final stage — five rounds at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla. — needing to finish in the top 20 to earn fully-exempt status this year on the LPGA Tour.
She was at three-under par 357 at the conclusion of the five days, which was good enough to get her into a seven-player playoff for the final four full-exempt spots. The seven players entered a playoff that featured three holes of competition in which aggregate scoring was counted.
Doughtie, who birdied her 18th hole of the day just to get to three-under, responded by carding par on the first hole, as did the other six golfers. On the second hole, she planned to just "cozy" a 12-foot putt down to the hole, take par and move on to a par-5 — but she nailed the 12-footer.
"The first time I ever felt chills on a golf course was going to the third playoff hole," said Doughtie, who switched putters two weeks ago. "At that point, I had confidence in myself, I had a little cushion and we were playing a reachable par five."
She proceeded to birdie the par-5 to secure her playing card. The poise she displayed during the playoff was exactly the kind of thing Young has seen for years.
"It's unlike anybody I've ever taught," Young said.
"That was always her one and only goal — get a college scholarship, get on tour. There was nothing that would stop her as far as she was concerned."
After playing in a pro-am Monday in Tennessee, Doughtie caught a flight to Virginia and arrived late in the evening. She got to sleep in her own bed at home in Suffolk, but she's spending the rest of the week at Kingsmill to establish some normalcy in her week.
In addition to having her parents at the River Course this week, her grandparents will also get to watch her in competition for the first time ever. She'll have good friend Dave Martin, an assistant pro from Elizabeth Manor Golf & Country Club in Portsmouth, caddying for her this week.
While it's a homecoming of sorts, it's also business as usual. She has a lot to work on, and there isn't much that breaks her focus.
"I've seen situations where I'm just that close to being right where I wanted, but that doesn't show up on a scorecard," Doughtie said. "I can see where it's there and it's just me letting a shot or two get away from me. You can't let that happen when the fields are so competitive."

Decorate Like a Globe Trotter
Maybe you can't travel around the world in style, but you can style your world at home with vintage globes. Both graphically appealing and pleasantly nostalgic, globes bring a sense of wonder and wanderlust to just about any space.
Take the globe out of the school room and try it in the kitchen, hallway, or living room instead. Globes can be found in a range of sizes and styles, including illuminated globes or globes on floor stands. It's easy to find cast off school globes from any decade at thrift stores, on E-bay, or at garage sales. Once you find a globe or two, how do you style them?
1. We love this clever side table made from a vintage wire laundry basket filled with and surrounded by globes in a mix of sizes.
2. This globe stand is mounted right on the wall for an unexpected point of view in Leticia and Daniel's condo.
3. Take a cue from Post 27 and cluster big and small globes for more interest.
4. You know that useless space above your kitchen cabinets? Use it to showcase your globes like Ashley Ann did in her charming kitchen makeover.
5. This globe stands alone but still has punch thanks to the oversized print in the background.
Round up a spherical collection and get creative! Just don't plan on using your vintage globe for a geography lesson; our retro globe has a giant, menacing country called the "USSR".

April 28, 2007
NEW LONDON, Conn. - MIT men's track and field once again asserted its dominance at the NEWMAC Championships. Despite entering the meet in the unfamiliar position of second according to the seedings, the Engineers comfortably won their seventh consecutive and eighth overall title in the nine-year history of the league.
MIT won nine individual events en route to the conference crown and the emergence of freshman Stephen Morton led to four of the victories. Morton swept the long and triple jump, secured first in the 200m and anchored Tech's winning 4x100-meter relay. He also finished third overall in the 100m. His effort in the relay helped MIT edge Springfield in an incredibly close heat, while his leadership in the jumps triggered big points for the Cardinal and Gray.
Morton finished just ahead of Chris Bateman and Anthony Teixeira to pace a 1-2-3 sweep in the long jump, while Teixeira added a second-place effort in the triple jump and the 110m high hurdles.
While MIT's depth in the jumps hampered the field, the Engineers total control in the distance events sealed Tech's position atop the leader board. MIT won every event between 1500 and 10,000 meters, including Yermie Cohen, who split 3:58.57 to take first in the 1500m . Freshman Johannes Schneider ran 9:44.19 to easily win the steeple and set the stage for a 1-3-4 finish.
In the two longest races on the track, the Engineers combined to score 58 points with consecutive sweeps of the top four places. Chris Wong led the pack in the 5000m with a time of 15:24.31, while Trevor Rundell held off several of his teammates en route to first place in the 10k.
MIT grabbed Gold in one other event as Greg Tao equaled his personal best in the pole vault after clearing 14'8.75".

Hello everyone. I have truly enjoyed reading the posts on this site. I've been inspired to start my own blog and I encourage you to come by and visit. I hope this year brings babies and smiles to everyone!!
As I was researching, I was surprised to find very few blogs, articles, or posts written from a man's perspective. While it's obvious the women do the "Heavy Lifting" on this mission, I was in search of other men's experiences in supporting their significant others through this journey. I find myself feeling a bit inadequate each time I review the plan for injections, ultrasounds, blood tests, etc....and I think about my role. My desire is to provide a view of my experiences for anyone interested.

Special Education Description
Note: This is the loose-leaf version of Special Education and does not include access to the Enhanced Pearson eText. To order the Enhanced Pearson eText packaged with the loose-leaf version, use ISBN 0133400824.
The Fourth Edition of Marilyn Friend's Special Education: Contemporary Perspectives for School Professionals gives the most authentic, current, research-based introductory account on the field of special education to date. Advocating real teachers, real families and students, real classrooms, and real research, this comprehensive resource emphasizes contemporary concepts and evidence-based practices that prepare teachers and other education professionals for their evolving roles in education and the well-being of students with disabilities. Combining current research with practical information, the text offers structure and predictability for novices to the field of special education and for educators working in this challenging age of high standards and accountability.
Thoroughly revised and updated and throughout to provide a multi-dimensional view of the field, with a mix of key concepts and immediately applicable information, the new edition emphasizes: the specific disability areas, the historical background and characteristics of special education students, prevalence data, assessment, service delivery, research-based instructional practices, parent perspectives, issues related to the disability area, curriculum access, inclusive practices, professional collaboration, student diversity, RTI, technological advancements, and now the text is written to reach a broader range of professionals working in the field.
Because special education is made up of real children and real professionals, the author helps to put a "face" on the field to enliven and authenticate the information for novices. Each chapter features stories of individuals with disabilities, from the parents of children with disabilities, and from professionals who work in the field. Readers of this truly exceptional resource will come away with the best understanding of the expectations for educators and students, and learn how critical concepts translate into educational practices.

We practice both Shotokan Karate Do and Fighting Karate.
In our Shotokan classes we focus on the practice of Kata forms. Through the use of Bunkai we explore how our Kata can be used as a practical tool for civilian self defense.
Fighting Karate focuses more on the sport aspects of Karate and prepares students for the four rings of Kumite [sparring]: long range JKA or WKF style striking, close range Kyokushin and modified Sabaki style striking, stand up grappling as is practiced by wrestlers and Judo-ka and Newaza or ground fighting, the proffered arena of BJJ practitioners and Catch wrestlers.
10 regular members and many visitors come to our regular workouts. Bring training clothes, and be ready to learn and have fun.
