Your child has been diagnosed with cancer. You are likely feeling shocked and scared. You are not alone. Support and treatment are available. Your child's healthcare team will help you and your child every step of the way.
Cancer is a disease in which the body's cells grow abnormally (mutate). Normally, healthy cells grow at a steady rate. But with cancer, the cells grow out of control. With some cancers, the cells group together and form a lump of tissue called a tumor:
Malignant tumors. These tumors often grow fast and destroy healthy tissue. Malignant tumors are metastatic. This means they can spread to other areas of the body.
Benign tumors. In some cases, a tumor forms that is not cancer. This is a benign tumor. Benign tumors are locally invasive. This means they don't spread and affect only 1 area of the body. But they may still need treatment.
Unlike cancer in adults, the cause of cancer in children is often unknown. Parents of children with cancer often blame themselves, but cancer in children is no one's fault. Mutations in certain genes may affect the way your child's cells grow. This gene mutation is random and couldn't have been prevented. In rare cases, other factors, such as exposure to certain viruses, chemicals, or radiation, play a role.
There is no single set of symptoms for cancer. Instead, your child's symptoms depend on the type of cancer and where the cancer is found.
Your child may have had a number of tests to diagnose cancer. More tests still may be needed. Your healthcare team can tell you more about any tests your child needs.
Staging is the process that determines the size of the cancer and how much it has spread. Most cancers have their own staging system. Grading is used to describe how abnormal the cancer cells look when seen through a microscope. The more abnormal the cells are, the faster they grow. Staging and grading help the health care team plan treatment for your child. They also help determine the likelihood of cure (prognosis). Staging and grading systems may take into consideration the following:
Location of the primary tumor
Tumor size and number of tumors
If the cancer has spread to other areas of the body (metastasis)
How abnormal the cancer cells look under a microscope
For many cancers, the stages are broken down into stages 1 through 4 (often written as I through IV). The stage numbers refer to the tumor's size and how much it has spread. For instance, stage I is an early stage of cancer in which the cancer has not spread much. And stage IV is the most widespread. But many cancers are broken down into further classifications. Your healthcare provider can tell you more if needed and answer any questions you have about the stage of your child's cancer.
Childhood cancers are often more curable than cancer in adults. The goal of treatment is to attack abnormal cells, while hurting as few healthy cells as possible. To treat the cancer, your child may require more than one therapy. These may include the following:
Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors using strong medicine. This treatment usually requires several sessions and has side effects. These can include tiredness, hair loss, nausea, and vomiting. But medications are available to help treat certain side effects.
Surgery to remove all or part of a tumor.
Radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors using high-energy waves.
It's important that you follow your child's treatment schedule as directed. Be sure to keep all your child's healthcare appointments.
The likelihood of cure may depend on the following:
The presence of symptoms related to the type of cancer
Type and stage of the cancer
Size and location of the tumor (if a tumor is present)
If the cancer has spread
How the cancer cells look under a microscope
The child's age and overall health
The cancer's response to treatment
How well the child responds to medications, procedures, or therapies
You're likely feeling many emotions right now. This is normal. Remember that you are not alone. Your child's healthcare team will work with you and your child throughout your child's illness and care. You may also wish to seek information and support for yourself. Doing so can help you cope with the changes cancer brings. Learning about and talking with others who also have a child with cancer may help you and your family cope. Some helpful resources include:
American Cancer Society
American Childhood Cancer Organization
Children's Cancer Association
National Cancer Institute
CureSearch for Children's Cancer
National Children's Cancer Society
Children's Oncology Group
Vidant Health can connect you to health care professionals to help you understand your condition and guide you through the treatment process. Let's chat.

Webster Alumna Makes Her Way to Germany For New Position
Oct. 7, 2013
ST. LOUIS, October 7, 2013 - For many alumni like Rachel Bryant, her network at Webster
University became an invaluable resource for launching her career.
"I went from scrubbing coffee stains out of my apron, wondering why I chose to study social science to trying not to get coffee stains on my suit, balancing on the exercise ball in my office with a view of the U.N. headquarters, and I owe that to my Webster connections," said Bryant, a 2011 graduate who majored in German and American Studies.
Bryant is currently living in Weimar, Germany and working for the organization, "Aktion Suhnezeichen Friedensdienste" (ASF), otherwise known as "Action Reconciliation Service for Peace." ASF was established after World War II to help Germany reconcile with countries and people damaged after the war. Its mission is to combat "racism, discrimination and social exclusion" by leading a variety of social projects throughout various countries.
Bryant's new role is based at a former concentration camp, the Buchenwald memorial site, where she is working in the archives and leading tours of the site that later became a Soviet internment camp.
"I think ASF is a great opportunity for me to take part in global community service and to make a stand for peace and tolerance in a way that sharpens my understanding of German history and cultural exchange," said Bryant, who most recently lived in New York City.
"Two years in New York City was enough and it seemed silly to continue working for German programs having never spent more than two weeks there myself."
Through Bryant's internship with Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX), she played an important role in bringing a German student to study at Webster's St. Louis campus this year, which is a program the University hopes to continue.
Since her graduation in 2011, Bryant feels indebted to the connections she made with faculty, staff and other students at Webster University.
"I studied German and American Studies, and I am actually working in my field at a company I sincerely respect," she said. "I don't know of many other schools with the kind of staff that would care enough to continue helping me so much after I graduated."
She initially heard about an internship with DAAD, (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch
Dienst), also known as the German Academic Exchange Service, through Paula Hanssen,
associate professor with the International Languages and Cultures Department. She
later went on to get the internship with Cultural Vistas and the Goethe-Institut too.
"Rachel worked at the UC, and was very involved with campus events and groups; she attended our German cultural events and the Society for International Languages and Cultures events too," Hanssen said.
"Rachel also studied in Vienna and got to know the campus and a group of students there. She took advantage of every opportunity to have new experiences, and was able to build a large group of skill sets, as well as a network that she could learn from as well as connect with after graduation."
At DAAD, Bryant mainly helped with the selection and processing of applications for the Young Ambassadors Program, a program for undergraduate students from North America who have recently studied in Germany and are interested in promoting studying in Germany at their own universities or colleges.
It was through DAAD that Bryant found out about the position with Cultural Vistas and the Goethe-Institut. The Goethe-Institut promotes German language and culture across the globe. She worked part-time in the Institut's café and gallery, preparing the space for art exhibitions, performances and meet-ups. At Cultural Vistas she served as a program specialist for CBYX for Young Professionals, which entailed different projects throughout the year. One of the projects included finding colleges and universities to host participants from Germany. Then once the participants arrived, Bryant had to arrange their travel from New York City to their final placements with their host families across the US.
When she was given the opportunity to continue with Cultural Vistas, she decided it was time to move onto other opportunities.
"I considered staying with Cultural Vistas, as it's a great company and I would encourage all Webster students to look into their in-bound and out-bound opportunities," Bryant said. "I believe it was just time for a new opportunity."

Late free throws lift K-State over Oklahoma
Sooners miss potential game-winning buzzer beater
Angel Rodriguez hit two free throws with 5.6 seconds remaining to give Kansas State a 52-50 victory over Oklahoma.
The foul shots ended an 8-0 run by the Sooners in the final 2 minutes that tied the game with 13 seconds to play.
Rodriguez was fouled on a jumper in the lane and made both free throws to put Kansas State back in front. Sam Grooms had a chance to win it for the Sooners, but his 3-point attempt at the buzzer was short.
Will Spradling led the Wildcats (17-4, 6-2 Big 12) with 12 points, including five in a row after the Sooners pulled within one with 11:27 to go. With the win, the Wildcats remain in second place in the Big 12, one game behind Kansas. Their leading scorer, Rodney McGruder, was held to seven points on 2-for-8 shooting.

The auction totaled $1.67 million (including buyer's premium) selling 64% of the 451 lots available.

Material from the Jones' collection included rare books by George Nelson, Charles Eames, A. Quincy Jones, A. Quincy Jones' own desk that was custom designed for his office circa 1949, vintage signed photographs of A. Quincy Jones buildings taken by the late Julius Shulman, as well as a Charles & Ray Eames designed"Hang-it-all", a gift from Ray Eames. The collection also included over 40 Arts and Architecture magazines, along with personal belongings from their home.

LAMA offered five lots of screenprints by Andy Warhol, all of which found buyers with a total realizing $216,518.75. Four pieces that stood out as surprises were the Francois-Xavier Lalanne Monkeys, doubling the low estimate of $100,000, realizing $199,062.50. Three other interesting lots that far exceeded their expectations were the Pipsan Saarinen Swanson Group of Outdoor Furniture realizing $14,700 (est. $3,000 - 5,000), Anna Katherine Skeele War Dance realizing $13,475 (est. $3,000 - 5,000), and Charles & Ray Eames"Hang-it-all" realizing $8,575 (est. $2,000 - 3,000).

Left and Right Argue Terrorism Ups and Downs
On 02.14.12 10:59 AM posted by James Carafano
Can we be confident that President Obamas counterterrorism strategy is headed in the right direction?
When I posted a chart to suggest that the numbers dont bear that out, many in the blogosphere tried to turn interpreting the chart into a debate over whether the GOP or the Democrats are better at dealing with terrorists. Personally, I think jiggering a debate about counterterrorism strategy into a partisan issue makes no sense. After all, the terrorists dont care whether the West Wing is run by the left wing or the right wing. All they are trying to do is kill us.
The chart just makes that the point the great downturn in terrorist attacks aimed at the United States took place before Presidents Obama term of office. (Article continued beneath chart)
Terrorism aimed at the U.S. peaks from 1987 to 1991 and then drops. That is largely a reflection of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the worlds largest state sponsor of terrorism though the 1980s.
As they invested at the front end of the decade, terrorist groups developed capabilities and with that expanded capacity came after the U.S. As Soviet-sponsorship began to collapse in 1989, attacks aimed at the U.S. taper off. The problem with the decline in the late 1990s was that America basically started paying insufficient attention to transnational terrorism at exactly the time bin Laden and al-Qaeda where organizing their global networks. We cut intelligence budgets. We did less with special operations. While we did not ignore emergent groups like al-Qaeda completely, we did too little in those years to prevent the outbreak that followed running up to and after 9/11.
The drop post-2005 was clearly the result of policies implemented after 9/11 that, of course, took several years to put in place and have effect. In addition, we have done a better job at stopping attack on the U.S. (at least 44 so far since 9/11).
The effects of Obamas policy changes will be seen in the years ahead, not the years behind.

As you may have heard, Ann Curry started the newest fad of doing good with a simple tweet: "Imagine if we all committed 20 acts of kindness to honor the lost children of Newtown." She wrote more about it here. There are a number of variations on that theme (i.e. 26, 27, and 28 Acts) all making their way through social media and around the globe. When I went to bed last night I thought "that's such a nice idea." But shortly after my morning coffee (sometimes a girl needs a little caffeine to get her going), I decided that I needed less thinking and more doing. I was in. I picked #26Acts simply because I had heard that number the most. (I know...my complicated decision-making process is astounding!) I try to do nice things for people on a regular basis: hold the door, smile and say hello, help carry things for people with strollers...once in a while I pay for the person behind me at Starbucks. The thing I don't do very often is talk about it. I like to be a quiet do-gooder. (Those of you who know me in real life are laughing at the idea of me being quiet! But you know what I mean!) I'm not usually one for the spotlight when it comes to stuff like that. But today I put on my big girl panties and documented my 26 Acts on Instagram and Facebook. I was hoping that if I could get over the weird feeling that comes with bragging about kindness, I could maybe inspire a few of my friends and family to pay it forward for someone else. So with that, my husband and I kicked off our mission....
|Numbers 1-3: Christmas turkeys for the food bank
|Numbers 4 and 5: munchkins and coffee for the fire and police departments
|Number 6: bought a Christmas tree for a stranger (that's the firehouse...forgot to take a pic when I was getting the tree!)
|Number 7: 125% tip for our server at lunch
|Number 8: let people cut into traffic about 50 million times (too easy!)
|Number 9: told someone I was thinking about them
|Number 10: dropped a couple of bags off at Goodwill
|Number 11-31: paid off 21 toys (3 layaway accounts) for families in our town
|Number 32: donation to Salvation Army
As a side note, we actually had some trouble finding stores that do layaway (some places only have Christmas programs that were already over and done with)...so in case you're interested, Sears and Kmart look like good places to start since they have year round programs! AND as a reminder, since many people have made payments on their accounts, you don't have to sell an organ to pay one off...you know, just in case you're thinking about it!
Anyway, I hope my weird, selfish bragging makes you want to do something good in the world!! Now I'm off to start working on number 33: do.Good Stitches blocks for December. (That one REALLY feels like cheating!)
Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Smalblaar Ridge ***** Grade F2
Below is the original MCSA description, but to my mind you will get confused using this, especially if you don't know the area. I have added notes in italics to make it clearer.
R Davies, J de Villiers-Graaf, M P Mamacos and F Villa 1953
A Klein Winterhoek clone, with genetic pitch aberrations on a sensational knife edge.
Start Approach via Yellowwood Ravine. This is well marked from the road with cairns. Start below the large electrical pylon situated to the right of the ravine and then follow the cairns.
Walk in on a rising traverse from the base of Yellowwood Amphitheater (vague path) and then up the ridge (better path and beaconed). At the point where the path descends around the corner to the obvious grassy bivvy cave / overhang (ie approximately 70 meters before the bivvy cave) scramble up the gully, go left, and then up another level to walk past the gendarme on its left.
Replace pitch 1, below with this: To reach the large halfway ledge on Yellowwood Amphitheater from the grassy spot below the gendarme, takes about 70 meters of climbing (2 pitches), up to grade F1. Take the obvious line, pretty much on the ridge line. At the Yellowwood half way ledge, you will then be at the point where pitch 2 in the original description below starts.
- 1. 22m "E2". Climb up a prominent fault to the left of the crest.
- 2. 25m "F2". The smooth grey face is climbed using the left-hand of the two prominent cracks up to a good ledge above.
- 3. 15m "D". Continue up the crest of the rib.
- 4. 12m "E2". Move up to an overhang, straddle around the rib to the left and continue to the foot of a a bottomless crack.
- 5. 12m "F1". Climb up the bottomless crack to a stance at the foot of a chimney.
- 6. 25m "E2". Ascend the chimney past a large chockstone and scramble to a stance at the top of the climb.
(A more aesthetic and less thrutchy finish that avoids pitches 5 and 6 i.e. the chimney, is to move round to the right and climb into the right facing corner scoop above and then back left.)
Many of the pitches can be combined into longer pitches.
Descend either by slogging across the ridges and go down De la Bat Ravine or down via the "B"route back into Yellowwood Ravine.
Nowadays, take the standard descent that is used: Walk over the top of the amphitheater and down into the first walled gully that runs down between the first chess piece and the Smalblaar Ridge buttress. Scrambling and 3 short abseils brings you to the base of the gully (water spot during wetter times of year) and a path back to the bivvy cave.

Today, like almost every day between May and September this year I've been working on my MSc research Project. Instead of just explaining what I've been doing today i thought it would be more interesting to describe what is going into my individual research project.
I'm experimented with a new novel way of collecting electrical resistivity tomography data with a zzGeo FlashRes64 which as you might expect involves a significant amount of lab and field data collection.
To allow inversion of these novel techniques far too much of my time has been devoted to developing software to allow analysis of the data, and investigation of different visualisation techniques. Though it does make a nice change from the driving rain outside.
Before going out in the snow and rain its important to know that the data collected will be as good as possible. This means i spend a lot of time visualising different data collection techniques as point clouds as below. I promise they end up being quite relaxing.
Eventually after determining the best collection strategy, standing out in the rain and the cold for hours, extracting, converting and comparing data you do end up with a decent representation of whats beneath the surface.
P.S You should be able to zoom and play with the images above. If you can't i'd suggest a modern HTML5 compatible browser

Coach John Tortorella warns Canucks players about Twitter
Says social media site is "nothing but trouble"
New Vancouver Canucks coach John Tortorella doesn't want his players to get too social on Twitter.
Tortorella wants his players to limit their Twitter use because he says the social media site is "nothing but trouble."
He won't ban players from using it, because he doesn't want to treat them like little kids.
But he adds they better make sure they don't tweet any information from the locker-room.
Several Vancouver players use Twitter, including goaltender Roberto Luongo and forwards David Booth and Alex Burrows.
Ironically, Tortorella has his own Twitter page. He is a dog lover and uses his Twitter account for fundraising causes related to canines.
Tortorella was known for clashing with the media during his days as coach of the New York Rangers. He's trying to get along better with reporters on the West Coast, but says some information must "stay in the room."

Amidst the slew of pre-Golden Globes celebrations, LoveGold held a cocktail party at Chateau Marmont's Selma House on Saturday night to honor Julianne Moore, a nominee for the award for best actress, TV movie or miniseries. A veteran of the awards circuit, Moore was beaming with excitement in her Givenchy dress and vintage Van Cleef & Arpels jewels. "It never gets old," she said. "The Golden Globes are really fun because it's everybody in film and television and it's great to see everybody."
Guests including Louise Roe, Eddie Redmayne and Dita Von Teese mingled and kept snug in front of a candle-lit fireplace. LoveGold, a division of the World Gold Council, decorated the room with pieces from Neil Lane, House of Waris and Pamela Love set atop birch tree trunks and miniature bird's nests. While Moore did not consult this year's host, Tina Fey, about her comedic portrayal of Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," she did spend countless hours researching all things Palin for her role in HBO's "Game Change," which earned her the nomination.
RELATED STORY: On the Red Carpet at the Golden Globes >>
"There's a tremendous amount of footage available of her so I initially started listening to the voice and once I felt I had her vocal mannerisms down then I worked on the physicality," she said. Between chatting with fellow nominee Sarah Paulson in front of the crowded bar and reflecting on her "bigger and more expensive" jewelry over the years, Moore kept mum about this year's Globes dress, but revealed her quick tactic for finding the perfect attire. "I don't like to choose from a lot. I don't want to be overwhelmed so sometimes I'll go to someone and ask them to make me a dress. That's what I did this year, I just asked someone to make me a dress."

Depending on how you use options, they can either create a riskier position than an outright stock position, or they can be used to reduce risk in a stock position.

Supreme Court won't reduce student's music download fine
BU student ordered to pay $675K in illegal downloading fines
The attorney for a Boston man who received bad news from the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said the decision was the equivalent of a "death penalty for a parking violation."
Joel Tenenbaum's request to appeal a $675,000 jury award to the recording industry for illegally downloading 30 songs and distributing them on the Internet was rejected by the court.
"The idea I should be liable for the cost of a nice house for sharing 30 songs is absurd," Tenenbaum said.
"The question isn't whether copyrighting is respected, but is copyrighting respectable," said Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson, who took the case to the highest court.
Nesson said while the recording industry was trying to figure out how to adjust to
the new world of the Internet Tenenbaum was "swept under the the legal wave."
"They (the industry) is now learning how to make money on the Internet ... and better ways of selling their music," said Nesson, who said he was disappointed by the decision.
Nesson said the case now reverts back to U.S. District Court Judge Rya Zobel who must decide if she will impose the $675,000 or $22,500 per illegally downloaded song, ask the recording industry if it would be willing to take less money or if she will order a new trial.
"The idea being we can't enforce every parking ticket so instead, we'll select a few cases, make an example of those and no one will ever dare double-park again," Tenenbaum said.
Nesson said Tenenbaum, who just received his PhD from Boston University this weekend, does not have the money to pay the fine which Nesson said is more likely to be in the millions considering legal fees likely to be requested from plaintiffs.
Nesson's services are pro bono.

The New York Fed is out with its credit report for the first quarter of 2012. It shows student debt bucking the trend ("Student Loan Debt Continues to Grow"), rising while all other kinds of debt fell from the end of last year. Student debt, at $904 billion (not yet the much-advertised trillion), is now considerably larger than credit card and auto debt. A decade ago, student debt was a less than half credit cards and autos.
(By the way, it's interesting that the New York Fed has begun publishing rigorous student debt estimates, which were previously unavailable. Mark Kantrowitz' estimate of over $1 trillion on his Student Loan Debt Clock is widely cited, but he doesn't disclose his methods, even when asked. The New York Fed contracted with Equifax, the credit-rating agency, to get good numbers. The central bankers recently had David Graeber, author of Debt: The First 5,000 Years, down to talk to them, where he told them about the need for debt relief. He reports that they were very receptive to his message, fearing another economic crisis if nothing is done, though they probably wouldn't go as far as his call for a Jubilee-style writeoff. It is utterly fascinating that this Vatican of capital called a prominent anarchist intellectual in for a consultation.)
For the quarter, student debt rose by $30 billion, or 3.4%, while all other kinds of debt fell by $131 billion, or 1.2%. Of the other major categories, only auto debt was up (but just 0.3%); mortgages (-1.0%), credit cards (-3.6%), and home equity lines (-2.4%) all fell. Debt has broadly been falling for almost four years, but student debt continues to rise. Nonstudent debt is down 13% from its 2008 peak—but student debt makes a new peak every quarter.
The best way to measure personal debt burdens over time is by comparing them to after-tax incomes. As the graph shows, most forms of debt rose steadily from 2003 (when the New York Fed data begins) through a peak at the end of 2007, and have fallen dramatically since. But not student debt. In fact, the ratio of nonstudent debt to income is only a little higher than it was in 2003—but the student debt ratio has more than doubled (from 2.9% to 7.9%). And that's relative to aggregate incomes. Student debtors skew young, and their cohort's incomes are well below average (even more so these days), meaning that the relative burden has risen more sharply than it looks.
As the student debt burden rises, it's harder for debtors to pay. Delinquency rates, though down from their 2010 peaks, are well above all other kinds of debt. And student debt was the only category to show an increase in delinquencies last quarter. (Funny word, "delinquency.") Officially, 8.7% of student loans are delinquent, but since many debtors are still in grace periods, they're not expected to pay. Of those that are, the New York Fed earlier estimated that 27% of debtors were behind on their payments, when the official number was lower than last quarter's. (See my earlier write-up of this topic for more.) This is an extraordinary level of financial distress.
As I've said elsewhere ("How much does college cost, and why?"), it would be fairly easy to make higher ed completely free in the U.S. But that's not the way we do things here. Debt is too useful as social discipline.

[Video Link] We've covered the wind kart creations of Rick Cavallaro and his colleague John Borton many times in the pages of MAKE and Make: Online. Why? Because we are fascinated by their successful efforts to build a wind-powered kart that can move directly downwind faster than the wind.
After proving that "DDWFTTW" (Directly Downwind Faster Than The Wind) travel is possible, Rick and John decided to build a kart that moves upwind faster than the wind. Again, they succeeded! Yesterday, Rick announced: "The record is official. NALSA (North American Land Sailing Association) has ratified the upwind record at 2.1X wind speed. CNN aired this segment on our wind powered cart. Nice segment, but it seems they forgot to mention that the vehicle was designed to go directly upwind (at about 2X wind speed) and directly downwind (at about 3X wind speed)."

When a person transgresses a mitzvah in the Torah, he destroys some of his inner holiness. He cuts himself off from the Godliness that lies at the essence of his soul.
When a person does Teshuva - "spiritual return" - he renews and rebuilds the inner world that he has destroyed. On one level, he is rebuilding his personal "Temple" so that God's presence (so to speak) will return there to dwell.
When one does Teshuva it is usually based on certain powerful internal realizations. Today, without the Temple service, one of the most powerful ways is through the inspiration of prayer. In fact, the Talmud (Brachot 26b) says that the formal daily prayers were instituted to replace the daily sacrifices.
Another source from the Talmud (Yerushlami Brachot) notes that in discussing the Temple service, the phrase "as God commanded Moses" occurs 18 times in the Torah portion of the Torah Pekudei. This is an allusion to the fact that the Shemonah Esray - the 18-blessing prayer which we recite three times daily ? now serves in place of the Temple service.
The verse says: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit" (Psalms 51:19). This teaches us that a person who does Teshuva is regarded as if he had ascended to Jerusalem, built the Temple, erected the Altar, and offered all the offerings upon it. - Midrash, Vayikra Raba 7:2
The text of the Shmonah Esray was formulated by prophets who knew how to awaken deep yearnings within the Jewish soul. Through prayer, we are to achieve a spiritual renewal which culminates in the desire for a full and total connection to God.
- Master of the Universe, You commanded us to bring the Daily Offering at its appointed time; and have the Kohanim perform their service, and the Levites sing and play music at the platform, and the Israelites attend at their stations.
And now, because of our sins, the Holy Temple is destroyed and the Daily Offering discontinued; we have neither a Kohen at his service, nor a Levite on his platform, nor an Israelite at his station. However, You have said, "Let the offerings of our lips replace bulls." Therefore, let it be Your will, our God and the God of our ancestors, that the prayer of our lips be considered and accepted and regarded favorably before You as if we had offered the Daily Offering at its appointed time, and stood in attendance at its service.
- Daily Shacharit Prayer
with thanks to Rabbi Aryeh Leib Nivin.

Spirited Cooking: Orangecello Chocolate Cheesecake Squares Recipe
If you were so lucky this past holiday season, someone gave you a lovely glass bottle with a charming bow tied around its neck, filled with the vibrant hue of homemade orangecello, or Arancello, as the Italians would say. Or perhaps you were that crafty, DIY gift-giver, winning the adoration of your friends and family for doling out homemade booze. Either way, you likely made a cocktail or two with the sweet liqueur and are now pondering other destinations for that bottle in your fridge. I have a solution. Actually, if you are not one of the lucky people with orangecello already at your fingertips, I suggest scurrying down to the liquor store just so you can bake this treat.
These Orangecello Chocolate Cheesecake Squares are a decadent incarnation of those shiny, foil-wrapped chocolate orange balls. The liqueur offers just enough punch of orange to keep your taste buds on alert, without overwhelming the tangy cream cheese.
This isn't a dense cheesecake bomb; whole-milk ricotta keeps this dessert light and fluffy. Two layers of chocolate serve as bookends to the creamy filling: there's a glaze of rich, melt-in-your-mouth orange-infused dark chocolate to start and crumbly chocolate crust to finish.
- Yield:12 to 16
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:12 hours (chilling)
- For the crust:
- 1 1/3 cup crushed chocolate graham crackers or wafer cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- For the filling:
- 12 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese, room temperature
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup orangecello
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 4 large eggs, at room tempereature
- For the glaze:
- 4 1/2 ounces good quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon orangecello
Heat oven to 350°. Line 8"x8" pan with foil and coat with cooking spray or butter. Combine chocolate crumbs, orange zest, and butter in a small bowl until mixture comes together easily when pressed in your palm. Press into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake crust for 15 minutes. Let cool.
Beat ricotta in electric mixer until smooth. Add cream cheese and sugar; beat until fluffy. Add orangecello and zest; add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Scrape down bowl as needed. Pour filling into crust and place pan in larger dish or roasting pan for a water bath. Pour hot water in the larger pan halfway up the side of the cheesecake pan. Bake for 1 hour or until cheesecake jiggles only slightly when shaken.
Cool on wire cooling rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate until cheesecake is cold, at least 8 hours or overnight.
Heat all glaze ingredients in double boiler over gently simmering water. Stir until melted and combined. Pour over chilled cheesecake, tilting pan to coat. Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes. Cut cheesecake into squares, cleaning knife between each slice for neat edges.

Suspect charged in string of Boone Co. burglaries
Deputies: Man knocked on doors, pretending to sell hay, search for dog
Sheriff's deputies arrested a Verona man accused of burglarizing homes over a two-month period.
Deputies were call about 11 a.m. Monday to a home on Carr Road, where a resident said a suspicious man was driving a black Jeep and said he was looking for his dog.
The woman said she thought his behavior was odd, so she followed him and got the license plate number for his vehicle and called investigators.
Deputies said the Jeep matched the description of a vehicle possibly connected to burglaries in Boone County, and they spotted it outside a Florence pawn shop, where investigators said the driver was pawning a chainsaw.
The driver, 22-year-old Tyler Drew, was brought to the sheriff's office for questioning, and deputies said he admitted to eight burglaries.
Investigators said Drew stole firearms, cameras, lawn equipment, money, jewelry and electronics.
They said he knocked on the doors of homes, and if they answered, Drew told them he was selling hay or looking for his dog. If no one answered, deputies said, Drew would break in.
Detectives said they've recovered much of the stolen property and are working to return it to the rightful owners.
Drew remains jailed on burglary charges.

'This Week' Transcript: Arnold Schwarzenegger
California Governor on the budget, the stimulus plan, and the future of the GOP.
Feb. 22, 2009 -- Get George Stephanopoulos' latest tweets and reporting by following him on Twitter, Facebook, and George's Bottom Line blog.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Good morning, and welcome to "This Week." Our headliner today, Arnold Schwarzenegger on California's narrow escape from budget disaster, his reversal on taxes...
SCHWARZENEGGER: I say this again: I will not raise taxes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ... working with President Obama, and wrestling with his own party.
SCHWARZENEGGER: We've got to bring people to the center.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Is California's crisis the rest of the country's future? Then...
FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN BEN BERNANKE: If we do not stabilize the financial system, the fiscal policy will not lead to a sustained recovery.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ... can the banks be saved? Will the president's stimulus and housing plans work? What's next for the economy? A powerhouse roundtable on the challenges ahead, with George Will, Nobel Prize-winner Paul Krugman, BusinessWeek columnist Suzy Welch, and the economist called "Dr. Doom" for predicting the crash, Nouriel Roubini.
And, as always, the Sunday funnies.
JAY LENO, TALK SHOW HOST: They're leaning towards the Swedish model for banks. It's -- and I've got another idea. How about opening banks with all Swedish models? See, that's a bank I could go to.
ANNOUNCER: From the heart of the nation's capital, "This Week" with ABC News chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos, live from the Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hello again. Our headliner this morning, still looking fresh after a week of all-nighters dealing with the California budget crisis, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Welcome back.
SCHWARZENEGGER: Thank you.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So back in Sacramento, you're getting it from both sides. Democrats say you cut spending too much; Republicans say you raised taxes too much. Is D.C. the safest place for you this weekend?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, I think that it is always terrific. And I have told you that many times that, when you're in the center, you get attacked from the left and you get attacked from the right. And this is a good sign, actually, because that means that you're in the right place.
Because remember one thing: What is good for the people is not always good for politics. That's the important thing here. STEPHANOPOULOS: But it seems like the most anger you're getting comes from your own party, the Republican Party. There's a petition circulated at the California convention -- Republican Party convention this weekend bashing you for going back on taxes and saying you owe former Governor Gray Davis an apology for the recall campaign you ran against the car tax back in 2003.
I want to show people a little bit of that campaign.
SCHWARZENEGGER: When I get to Sacramento, I will immediately destroy the car tax, so watch what's going to happen over there to a car. Watch over there.
Hasta la vista, baby, to the car tax!
STEPHANOPOULOS: So do you owe Gray Davis an apology?
SCHWARZENEGGER: No, absolutely not. I mean, there's quite a difference, because remember one thing: When the last time they had the crisis in 2003, nothing was accomplished. Now we have this crisis, we got the legislators together, the Democrats and the Republicans.
We had the biggest budget deficit, $42 billion, got them together and met in the middle, that not only did we have, you know, had the cuts all for about $15 billion, but we had a revenue increase of around $12 billion, and on top of that we got huge reforms out of that, reforms that no one has ever dreamt of for the last 60 years in California.
The reason why we went through this roller coaster ride, financial roller coaster ride in California was because we didn't have a great budget system. We never had a rainy day fund; we didn't have a cap; we didn't have mid-year cutting authority or any of those things. For the first time in 60 years, we got all of this now as part of the budget negotiations. This is a huge coup.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you're...
SCHWARZENEGGER: And it is a great, great asset for the people of California.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you're not out of the woods yet. A lot of those reforms still have to pass in referendums. And if the bond issue, for example, doesn't pass, you're going to be right back in negotiations.
SCHWARZENEGGER: I can tell you one thing, that when you go and gather signatures for a referendum, then there is, you know, kind of a 50-50 shot. But usually when you have both parties pass a referendum, that means that both parties are going to go out and campaign for those referendums.
If it's the budget reform, if is the lottery, all the kind of things -- and the open primaries -- I think all of those things, you will see that both parties will go out there and -- and -- and campaign, even though the parties sometimes are against some of those initiatives.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But back in 2003, you were unequivocal, "I will not raise taxes." You ran that car tax issue so hard. So -- so as you look back, was it wrong to make the promise?
SCHWARZENEGGER: No, absolutely not, because you...
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why not?
SCHWARZENEGGER: I'll tell you why. Because I made it very clear that I'm against raising taxes, and even today I hate tax increases. But I also made it very clear...
STEPHANOPOULOS: But so did Gray Davis. And he just felt the budget crisis made it necessary.
SCHWARZENEGGER: But -- but I also made it very clear that I will never sign a pledge that I will not raise taxes. Why? Because I said, if there's an emergency, I want to have the options to raise taxes if there's an emergency.
Right now, you have to admit, we have a fiscal emergency. We have a financial crisis. We have a housing crisis, all of those things. And we had a $42 billion deficit. That's the same as having an earthquake or some other disaster.
It's an emergency. And under those circumstances, we can raise taxes. And remember one thing: It has nothing to do with Gray Davis or any other specific politicians. You had people like Ronald Reagan increasing taxes and increasing spending by 13 percent. You had Wilson increase taxes. You had Deukmejian increase taxes. And I had to increase taxes.
SCHWARZENEGGER: You do the kind of things that are right for the people, that are right for the state, rather than what is right for your party. It was not right for my party. The Republicans, the party itself hates it, even though I had other Republicans vote right along on that budget. That's how we got it passed, because we need two-thirds of the votes in order to pass a budget.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So when you -- we're looking at a similar budget crisis in the coming years here in the United States. Does the Republican Party have to re-think its absolute opposition to tax increases of any kind?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, no, I think that the Republican Party or any party has to always think, when you make a decision, "Do I want to make a decision that's based -- that's best for the party? Or am I a public servant and have to serve the people, what is best for the people?"
And in this particular case, in order to solve a $42 billion deficit, the only way you can do that is a combination of making severe cuts and also having some revenue increases.
STEPHANOPOULOS: How -- how long is it going to take California to dig itself out of this hole?
SCHWARZENEGGER: I think that you will see that there's a nationwide and a worldwide crisis right now. I think every country in the world is scrambling right now and does really have some serious problems with revenues with their businesses, with their housing, and with all of those things. I mean, it's -- it's worldwide. All the other states have the same kind of problem.
So I think that it would take -- and yesterday we had some briefings where Bernanke was to give a speech and other people, experts. It is very clear that we will see kind of a pick-up again, if you will, beginning of next year, that we will...
STEPHANOPOULOS: But not this year?
SCHWARZENEGGER: ... when we -- when will we come back to normal again? I think that could take years from now to get back to where we were.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And you think President Obama's stimulus package is an important component of that. You are at odds with a lot of Republicans, especially here in Washington. They almost all voted against it. The chair of the Republican Governors Association, Mark Sanford, Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, said it's a huge mistake.
GOV. MARK SANFORD, R-S.C.: We're a nation that has $52 trillion of accumulated liability, $52 trillion of political promises that have been made, but not paid for. And the idea of stacking up another trillion, another trillion, another trillion, we really do get to that tipping point.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What's your response to him?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, Governor Sanford says that he does not want to take the money, the federal stimulus package money. And I want to say to him: I'll take it. I'm more than happy to take his money or any other governor in this country that doesn't want to take this money, I take it, because we in California can need it.
I think that it is a terrific package. I think that, if you ask 1,000 people for their opinion what is their ideal stimulus package, you will have a 1,000 different answers. So everyone's is a little different.
I think that he has done a great job. And I think California benefits tremendously from that $80 billion that is tax benefits there of around $35 billion. There's other advantages, $45 billion of monies that go to transportation, to education, to health care, and all those different areas.
And there's even some money in there that could benefit our -- our revenues or, I should say, our budget itself. We have a trigger language built in there so that, if some money comes to that, then we will reduce the cuts and we will increase the spending.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But Governor -- Governor Sanford and Governor Jindal and several other Republican governors are not only against the stimulus package in principle, because it's going to add to our debt, they say that some of the specific provisions, like some of the unemployment provisions, are going to guarantee -- make tax increases necessary in their states in future years. Is that what's going to happen in California?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, no, I don't see it this way. I see only a benefit to the state of California. That President Obama is going to eventually do a tax increase on the wealthier people, I think that writing is on the wall. I think he has talked about that during his campaign.
STEPHANOPOULOS: It's in the budget now.
SCHWARZENEGGER: And I don't like that, of course, but, I mean, I understand that he is to do what he thinks is best for the -- for the country, as much as I had to make decision what is best for the state of California. So I think there are certain things that are inevitable, especially when you have a crisis like this.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So when you see Governor Sanford, when you see the Republican leadership here in Capitol Hill absolutely opposed to this, are they being unrealistic?
SCHWARZENEGGER: No, I think that people have different opinions. I mean, I think that Governor Sanford is a very, very smart guy, but he has a different way of looking at that. And a lot of my colleagues look at this differently.
I look at it in a more optimistic way, and I feel very strongly that I think that President Obama right now needs team players. He -- this is why we're here in Washington right now. We have, you know, more than 40 governors coming together here in Washington, and our idea is to get together with the White House, with this administration, and to work together, to have Congress, the White House, and the governors, and everyone work together, because it's a very difficult time now, where we have to play together, rather than using politics and always attacking everything...
STEPHANOPOULOS: You know, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania agrees with you. And he was one of the Republicans who voted for the president's package. And he says that the rest of the party risks becoming the party of Herbert Hoover. Are you worried about that?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, you know, people always, you know, say that the Republicans are always the party of no and, you know, attacking the Democrats. You know, I don't think that the Republican Party is any different than the Democratic Party. I think that politics -- the horrible thing about politics is that, the more they attack each other, the more that they try to derail each other, the worse it is for the people. That's why...
STEPHANOPOULOS: But these are real differences of principle.
SCHWARZENEGGER: I know, but that's why I said, you know, you've got to go beyond just the principles. You've got to go and say, "What is right for the country right now?" I mean, I see that as kind of like, you go to a doctor, the doctor's office, and say, "Look, can you examine me?" The doctor says, "You have cancer."
What you want to do at that point is you want to see this team of doctors around you, have their act together, be very clear, and say, "This is what we need to do," rather than see a bunch of doctors fighting in front of you and arguing about the treatment. I mean, that is the worse thing. It creates insecurity in the patient.
The same is with the people in America. That creates insecurity when you have those two parties always arguing and attacking each other, rather than coming together and saying to the American people, "Here's the recipe. This is going to be tough, but this is what we need to do for the next two years. And we both believe in that." That will bring calmness to the market and stability to the market.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you think Republican leaders in Washington should be cooperating more with President Obama?
SCHWARZENEGGER: I think that, if they -- they should make an effort to work together and to find what is best for the people, because by derailing everything, it's not going to help anybody, and it creates instability and insecurity.
And I think, also, the Obama administration -- I mean, as you know, the president is very clear when -- in his message. And he's a very great speaker and articulates really well. But there's people around him that they -- they also have to have that same clarity when they go out there, and make people feel at ease and that they have their act together.
And I think that, all together, we can really bring this country back, because I tell you, no matter where you look, this is still by far the best country in the world. There is no one that can come even close to us.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Yet California has one of the worst foreclosure crises in the country right now. President Obama laid out his plan to deal with that this week. And a lot of critics said that this is, you know, creating a moral hazard, it's bailing out people when those who were responsible with their mortgage, they're getting no government help.
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, you know, there is people that are failing with their mortgages because they have been laid off, they've lost their jobs. There's others that they signed up to a deal where they didn't know there will be this bump in the interest rate and all this.
What we have in -- in California is we have sat down with the lenders and we have worked out a voluntary agreement with them to go and do modifications, loan modifications, where we had them reduce the interest rate or where we amortized the -- the loans out further, another extra 10 years.
And so I think that's what the -- the federal government -- as a matter of fact, Sheila Bair has recommended that already more than a year ago, and she has been terrific with that housing crisis.
So I think that everyone is making the effort, but things change, also, all the time. Right now, for instance, the big thing is that we know that in -- in commercial real estate, there will be a shoe dropping very soon, because I think all of those companies that are now, you know, having financial trouble or getting bankrupt, they will not be able to make their payments, the lease payments and so on, and they will pull out. And all of a sudden, you have a real estate building with only half of the places rented.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But on this question of fairness, what do you say to the homeowner who didn't buy too much house, who took an extra job to make sure they -- they made their mortgage payments, and they see their next-door neighbor getting bailed out?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, first of all, every situation is different, as you know, that maybe have a job, you can still afford your house. Maybe your neighbor has just lost their job. Isn't it nice when you, for instance, work something out with the bank, where the bank says, "Look, while you're in this situation, we're going to stop you from having to pay. I mean, we understand that you cannot make the payment. We don't want to throw you out of the house. For the next six months, we will not charge you for your -- for your mortgage payment"?
So I think that people just need a little bit of help. What does the bank do when they get stuck with a house that is 40 percent -- has 40 percent less value? I mean, that has been a huge problem in this country in general, because eventually they think that the banks have to -- and the lending institutions have to figure out what to do with that asset. You know, should it be written off, those trillions of dollars of assets?
STEPHANOPOULOS: You've talked often about how you first came to the United States in part because of your hatred of socialism, of the whole socialist system. So I wonder, when you look at government coming in, taking over mortgage companies, taking over insurance companies, the prospect now of nationalization of banks, is that something you now see as necessary?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, I -- first of all, I think that we have a really good system here in America. You don't have to talk about nationalization. All it basically says is that if a bank doesn't have the money to -- to give their customers, so if it, you know, defaults in some way, that the federal government comes in, because it secures those moneys.
SCHWARZENEGGER: And so they come in, and they help out, that they go with the bank, because they cannot make the payments anymore, and -- and to business. So the federal government always had that right to take over. So it's not nationalizing anything. I don't see it as such. There's a difference of the way it is in Europe, where the -- where the federal government owns some of those banks, whereas here only if there is a problem financially that the federal government comes in and takes over and helps out.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, and we're seeing that now...
SCHWARZENEGGER: And that's a huge service to the people of America, to have that security to know that, no matter what happens, the federal government will step in and will get your money.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But then the question is, these -- these capital infusions from the federal government may give them essentially majority stake in some of the biggest banks in the country. Is that something you're prepared to accept?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, with some banks, that's maybe necessary. I think the most important thing is, how do we create stability in this country? And I think this is why it is very important that the administration has a very clear message and not change it.
I think that what America has really gone through, a huge challenge just this last year, because we have had a different administration. They have a different way of thinking. No -- no one here is right or wrong, but a different way of thinking.
Then, in the middle of this crisis, you had a change of administration. Now this administration is in for a month. You can't expect them all of a sudden to have all the answers and all of those things. They need still time to warm up and to get going.
And he has some -- Obama has some terrific people there in those leadership positions. And so I have total confidence in them.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You've had a lot of praise for the president and his team and his plans over the last several weeks. And a lot of Republicans hear that and say, "Wait a second. You don't agree with us on the stimulus. You're supporting President Obama on energy and the environment and his budget plans. You don't agree with us on abortion or gay rights. So why are you still a Republican?"
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, because I still believe in the Republican principles, but remember one thing, that it doesn't really matter if you're a Republican or Democrat. I think that so many people get caught up with this whole thing.
We are elected to be public servants. So what does it matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican? When people need to have roads built, when we talk about infrastructure in America, we need $1.7 trillion to $2 trillion of infrastructure in America. Who cares if you're a Republican or Democrat? Everyone is using the roads. Everyone would use high-speed rail. Everyone uses the infrastructure and all of those things, the schools, the kids.
It doesn't matter. We should go beyond all this. Is it a Republican idea or is it a Democratic idea? Which philosophy does it fall under? It doesn't matter.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You're trying...
SCHWARZENEGGER: We've got to rebuild America. And we've got to help people, be public servants, not party servants.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You're trying to further that by having this system of open primaries...
SCHWARZENEGGER: That's right.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ... in California. Whoever -- everyone runs, the top two finishers, whatever party they come from, they're on the ballot in the general election. You seem to have unified both parties with that idea, the Republican Party leadership, Democratic Party leadership both against it. Do you really think it can make a difference?
SCHWARZENEGGER: It will make a huge difference. And remember one thing: It's always great when the Democratic Party and the Republican Party is against something, because that means it's good for the people. That is the bottom line.
Open primaries is good for the people because then people don't have to make decision and say things to appeal with their party so they can win the primary and then, all of a sudden, they have to come to the middle. So to say something totally different that is one campaign and, later on, they have to campaign for the overall to -- to -- to win the election.
So I think it's horrible to have to move around. Let's open up the primaries, no different than when you have a mayoral race. Like in Los Angeles right now, Villaraigosa -- there's an open primary. There's an open election, where you have the first two -- the two top candidates then have a run-off election. That's the way to do it. It doesn't matter which party it is.
If the people choose one, if they're Democrat, then so be it. If they choose the Republican, if they choose a Democrat and a Republican, and they have them go for the run-off election, that's the way it ought to be. STEPHANOPOULOS: Yet you still call yourself a Republican. And you're here with a lot of your fellow Republican governors this week. And I wonder what you think the prescription is for the Republican Party to go now from minority status to get the majorities back in the House and the Senate, to get the White House back.
SCHWARZENEGGER: It's very simple. Listen to the people. The best thing you can do, no matter what party you're in, listen to the people. In California, we know that 64 percent of the people have said that we should solve this budget crisis, the $42 billion deficit, with tax increases and with spending cuts. So what I have done is what the majority of Californians want to do.
The Republican there were not in touch with of what the majority of people want to do in California. And the same is nationwide. You've got to listen to the people. If the nation is screaming out loud, "We need health care reform. We want to have universal health care. We want to have everyone insured. We want to bring the costs down. We want everyone to have access." I mean, that's what they want; that's what you do.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Even if it requires tax increases?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Even -- if -- no, even though it maybe is against your principles or philosophy, you still have to go, because that's what the people want you to do. And the same is in California. So I will go again after health care reform. I will be going after, you know, education reform, which, of course, we've got some good one, because of the categoricals dropped by $6 billion, our categoricals, so more money goes into the classroom now.
So you've got to do what the people want you to do rather than getting stuck in your ideology.
STEPHANOPOULOS: There was also a report on the Web site TMZ this week about your own future. It said you might be taking a bit part in Sly Stallone's movie. Then you came back the next day and said, no, I've got to get through the budget crisis first. You're through the budget crisis now. Are you going to do it?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, no. As you know, since I've become governor, I've done three cameos when friends asked me. And Sly asked me if I would do a cameo. I said, "Of course I'll help you and do a cameo. There's no two ways about that."
But it had nothing to do with the budget crisis or with the budget negotiations, because that will be done some times in April, May or June. I have no idea.
STEPHANOPOULOS: OK. So you still might do it?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Oh, yes, no, absolutely. I enjoy him. He's a terrific director and writer and a great actor. And we hang out a lot of times together.
STEPHANOPOULOS: How about after 2010? You're term-limited. Do you run for Senate or do you go back to the movies?
SCHWARZENEGGER: I have no idea. You know, I'm not thinking now about what I'm going to do, because remember one thing: As soon as I stepped into this political arena, when I became governor, it was not about "me." It was about "we." We turned that "me" upside-down. It was about "we."
I mean, it's all about California. It's all about the people. I have been very successful in creating some of the reforms that we needed. If it is worker's comp reform, if it is rebuilding California and their infrastructure, if it is the open primary, if it is the redistricting that we won just last November, I'm a reformist. I want to go in there and reform and fix what is broken in California. And I will be relentless with that, and I never, ever give up.
STEPHANOPOULOS: We're out of time. What's your Oscar pick tonight?
SCHWARZENEGGER: I really don't know. I mean, I think that "The Reader" to me was one of the best movies, you know, one of the best movies that I've ever seen. I think that movie has a great shot. And, of course, "The Wrestler," my buddy, you know...
STEPHANOPOULOS: Mickey Rourke.
SCHWARZENEGGER: ... Mickey Rourke is a terrific actor. I wish that he will be successful and do as well tonight. So there are some really good movies...
STEPHANOPOULOS: And we asked all of our viewers for their favorite political movie. Yours?
SCHWARZENEGGER: I think "The Reader."
STEPHANOPOULOS: "The Reader." Oh, political movies.
SCHWARZENEGGER: You mean all-time?
STEPHANOPOULOS: All-time.
SCHWARZENEGGER: Oh, political movie. "The Candidate," maybe, I think, is -- is one of those great movies.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor Schwarzenegger, thanks very much.
SCHWARZENEGGER: Thank you very much. Thank you.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So "The Candidate" from Arnold Schwarzenegger. All of you picked "All the President's Men."

How many roads must a Chrysler midsize sedan drive down before you can call it a critical and consumer success? The answer, my friend, might come in a few months if all goes well with the rollout of the 2015 200, which might have an assist from Bob Dylan himself.
Rumor has it, according to Billboard, that Dylan will star in an ad for the 200 airing during the Super Bowl in a few days. If the news is true, then truly nothing is a secret in the auto industry; Chrysler's Super Bowl ads have notoriously been kept under tight wraps until the moment before it airs.
Last year, no one knew Chrysler was planning a double-header with Ram's "So God Made a Farmer" ad and Oprah in a Jeep spot until about 10 minutes before they aired. Executives have said in the past that prior commercials, including Clint Eastwood's "Halftime in America" and the one that started it all, Eminem's original "Imported From Detroit" 200 ad, aren't shown until the day before or the morning of the big game, with only a literal handful of people in the know bringing it all together beforehand.
Here's my beef, though: Bob Dylan, really? I mean, I get it. Dylan's obviously an American icon, Chrysler wants to keep up its gritty, all-American(?) theme and whatnot. But if they really wanted a great American songwriter that's easily identifiable to the public, was Bob Seger not available?
I'd argue Seger fits the "Imported From Detroit" mantra more than Dylan, and he'd fit in nicely with Eminem, Berry Gordy and the company's other local superstars. Maybe Seger was on the short list, but cut because of those old "Like A Rock" Chevy commercials from back in the day. But then again, Dylan did some Cadillac commercials and Oprah gave away a bunch of Pontiac G6s. There's no loyalty when money's on the table.
Billboard notes that Dylan and Chrysler already have a relationship with his cover of "Motherless Children" being used in a recent Jeep Cherokee ad. It wouldn't be Fiat-Chrysler's first time using one artist on multiple brands: Pitbull was hawking for Fiat while Dodge sponsored his last tour.
I can't imagine either Dylan or Seger driving a 200, though. I can imagine everyone in Detroit — again — buying this 200 regardless of who's hawking it as long as they've got that "Imported From Detroit" tagline at the end of the ad.

PSY pips PM in Google searches
Australians are more interested in learning how to dance Gangnam Style and who won The Voice than they are in Julia Gillard's 'misogyny' speech and following the US election, Google's top searches for 2012 reveal.
Google's Zeitgeist, German for 'the spirit of the times', measures the top trending searches — the terms that have seen the largest increase over the past year — as well as the most popular search terms overall.
''The Zeitgeist is a cultural barometer that gives us a feel for where everyone's going,'' said Google spokesman Shane Treeves.
PSY's K-pop hit Gangnam Style was the top trending Google search in Australia this year. It has racked up nearly 1 billion views on YouTube. The entertainment-dominated top three searched items was rounded out by Channel Nine's The Voice and boy band One Direction. Searches for sex and pornography are omitted from the results.
Lara Bingle edged out Miranda Kerr as the most-searched Australian celebrity, while Kate Middleton was pipped at the post by Whitney Houston in the trending people stakes. Houston, who died in February, also topped the most-searched celebrity deaths list.
Australians were also keen to answer life's burning questions, with searches that begin with 'how to ...' most commonly ending in 'love', as well as 'rock' and 'change'.
''It was great fun to see that people are looking to really amp up the relationship this year,'' said Treeves, though he conceded the popularity of 'how to love' might have something to do with a hit song by Lil Wayne of the same name.
Leading the top-trending searches for terms that begin with 'what is ...?' was 'sopa' (the US bill 'Stop Online Privacy Act'), followed closely by 'permeate' — a watery, greenish by-product from the production of cheese that Fairfax Media revealed in April was forming 16 per cent of fresh milk.
The most-searched athlete was Lance Armstrong, who has suffered a tumultuous year laden with drug accusations, followed by Usain Bolt. Australians Stephanie Rice, Sally Pearson and the late Jim Stynes also featured in the top 10.
Gangnam Style was also the top-trending song, followed by Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe and Skinny Love, a Bon Iver song covered this year by British singer Birdy. No Australian songs featured in the top-trending Australian searches for songs.
The top three trending television shows were the Australian reality shows The Voice, Big Brother and The Shire. Revenge, Game of Thrones and Alcatraz were the only US shows to make the top 10 Down Under.
Hurricane Sandy, Julian Assange and 'Misogynist' (referring to Julia Gillard's parliamentary speech that went viral around the world) feature on the most-searched news moments, but Barack Obama and the US election were notably absent.
This could be due to the fact that the election was held in November, said Treeves. ''It probably hasn't had much time to trend as some other terms may have,'' he said.
In contrast, Twitter's top trends for 2012 was topped by a photo of Obama embracing his wife, tweeted by the President with the caption 'Four more years' as his re-election was confirmed. With more than 817,000 retweets, it was the most re-posted tweet of 2012 and all time.
On Twitter, the London Olympics was the most talked about event, with 150 million tweets sent over 16 days. The Games came in fifth place in Australia's top trending Google searches.
This reveals a divide between the uses of Google and Twitter, said Dr Toni Johnson-Woods from the University of Queensland. ''Twitter is used more for news and politics, and Google is used for social entertainment,'' she said.
Google, which receives more than 1 billion searches every year, also released the absolute top search terms for 2012 (as opposed to those that have seen the biggest increase in popularity).
Topping the list by a long shot was 'Facebook', followed distantly by 'YouTube' and people googling 'Google'.
