Episode Information
Westledge -- forty years later.
In the late 1960s, a group of progressive educators and parents founded an experimental school in the fields and woods of West Simsbury. No grades. Students setting most of the school's agendas. A mix of inner city students attending at no cost and affluent suburbanites paying compensa tory high tuition.
Westledge only lasted a few years, but it produced several hundred remarkable citizens who say the lessons of the school lasted a lifetime. They're finding each other now on -- where else? -- Facebook.

Listener E-mail from Shoshana
I completely enjoyed the Westledge show. The school had a big influence on my life in many of the ways expressed by your guests- encouragement to take responsibility for my own learning, getting to know people from many backgrounds, forging a very strong relationship with my advisor, Keith Johnson. It is an amazing twist of fate that his widow is now my stepmother!
I would add two things: One, for all the positive aspects of Westledge, there was a dark side- lots of drugs, at least one teacher having sex with a student, several tragedies (including suicide) affecting the community.
Second, I am happy to say that in my town of Portland, Maine, the public schools have incorporated many of the principles that were central to Westledge. Both of my daughters went to an elementary program with a focus on project learning and no grades. Experiential learning and connecting the school to the community are central aspects of what is now known as Expeditionary Learning- and we have it available from kindergarten through 12th grade in the Portland Public Schools.
Finally, the next time you see Eric, say hi for me.
Thanks for the show,

I could not believe my ears when you rattled off the verb list when describing your own junior high experience.
I am 80 years old and thought I was the last remaining one of my generation who enjoyed the fine points of sentence diagramming and could still recall " be, am is , are, was were, being , been, appear, become, continue. feel, grow look , remain, seem, sound, smell, taste, and turn".
What a delight it was to find that someone in my children's generation was exposed to a good old fashioned English curriculum, even when my own children did not have that benefit.
Listner E-mail from Abbott
I attended Westledge school from the first year starting in 1968 until graduating in 1974. What was considered radical then was really the leading edge of what many people today consider common place. To various degrees many of those ideas have been brought into our families, schools, workplaces, government, and society. Westledge was an an effort to combine academics and a social awareness. There was a "buy in" when you decided to go to Westledge. A small community of students and teachers, where learning was not by the numbers. All were expected to engage, learn, partake, contribute, and to spread what we learned to the world. Lou Friedman's focus was creating a prep school for life, no mater what route you might take. You made a commitment to Westledge and the school made a commitment to you. It was not an easy transition for many students, and a completely new environment for all. There were no grades but your adviser knew if you were not reaching your potential. You negotiated your goals with your adviser. As the faculty wrote your evaluation you also responded with your own evaluation of your performance. You also evaluated the performance of the faculty. In many ways it was like entering a university setting at a much younger age. The course list covered a wide range of subjects and changed frequently. Teachers engaged with students, and in many cases the students helped push the courses into new areas of discovery. You were free to explore your interests. You were treated with respect and expected to do the same in return. It was perfectly normal in every part of the school to see students and faculty interacting, discussing, negotiating, and working through issues as equals. Speak up, believe in yourself, hear what the other person has to say, look past disabilities, express your creativity, have confidence in your ideas, and above all take responsibility for your role in your own education. Lou Friedman set a vision and often spoke to those goals during Morning Meeting. It was like a guest lecture series and group therapy rolled into one. Lou never talked down to us as kids. Instead he would paint a picture of how things could and should be. Then he would say it was up to us to change the world. There were special guests at Morning Meeting and it was also a time to hash out issues among the community that needed attention. Sometimes one of the students would use the meeting to make a presentation or start a petition. I know a number of people who learned how to be comfortable speaking in front of a group because of Morning Meeting. The creativity within the Westledge community was absolutely amazing. People brought their outside interests forward and others joined. PK Allen was an English teacher with a passion for the performing arts. He shared that excitement and interest with everyone. As a result Westledge had an active theater program with a level of excellence far exceeding what might be expected for such a small school. Faculty and students were encouraged to bring their interests into the school, and with that came a more intense involvement on a personal level. To this day on the list of people who influenced my life you will see a very high percentage who were part of "my" Westledge community. As part of that diversity of interest, and focus on the "whole person", we studied ecology and environment before there was an Earth Day. Our sports program included a ropes course, rock climbing, ski area, as well as soccer. The performing arts included theater, dance, music, mime and more. The study of "Humanities" took on a whole new direction when you consider the composition of the school. It was different to outsiders, but for those of us within the community it seemed just "right". It was said a number of times on the show that the student body had a lot of diversity. That is true, but the same was true of the faculty. That diversity was not just about skin color or economic backgrounds. There was a diversity of religion, family situations, personal goals, and more. The teachers were each very unique, and throughout their careers more than a few have carried the Westledge experience with them to other teaching positions. The school was very small, and when you walked in the door you were a member of a community somewhat isolated from the outside world. For many students what you heard or saw back in your home neighborhood was very different from what you experienced every day at school. I heard people outside the school talk about minorities and the disabled that I knew was completely untrue because I had first hand experience. The parents deserve credit for ignoring the norm and supporting a school that proved education and society could be different. When I went to elementary school a friend quietly told me why he had been out "sick" from school. He was Jewish and it was Rosh Hashanah. He made every effort not to let people know he was Jewish. At Westledge the school celebrated Christian and Jewish holidays, and also celebrated Martin Luther King day long before it was a federal holiday (law 1983). I'd gladly make a bet that the majority of Westledge students never even considered race when forming opinions on Barack Obama's qualifications for President. I am sure there would be lively discussion on many sides about his qualifications, but not the color of his skin. It was truly "our" school. We were there as it was being built around us. We cleaned it as part of Work Program. We had a say in how things should be run. If we had an idea we could present it at morning meeting. The concept of being an active participant in directing our education was heady stuff indeed. To question authority was not rebellion but instead the common byproduct of being an active part of an ever changing community. Authority was not assumed it had to be earned and in many ways granted by the community. The activism came in many colors. Politics was discussed and part of the curriculum. There was a school sleepover on presidential election night so you could watch the results flow in. We were not old enough to vote but here was a whole school aware of the candidates, their positions, and the election process. I was 12 years old for that first election night and I paid attention! Did the school have a lasting impact on my life? Absolutely and without question. I built my own house. I live in a small community governed by Town Meeting. My children went to nearby schools that have some aspects similar Westledge. I have tried to raise them to instill the same confidence and values I found at Westledge. The work I do today is a direct result of things I learned at Westledge: creative thinking, exploration of alternative solutions, communicating to diverse interests, public speaking, questioning the status quo, asking why not, and believing anything is possible if you want to make it happen. Don't think is was perfect because we all were far from perfect. There were problems of all kinds to work through. The late 60's and early 70's were turbulent times and the school was not completely isolated. The difference is we kept working through the issues with intensity and great passion mixed with laughter and trust. There are certainly some holes in my education from a traditional measure of facts, dates, and figures (thank you Google), but for being prepared for life my education was unequaled. My thanks and gratitude to Lou, a dedicated faculty, some very special individuals, and my fellow students -- friends and mentors for life. The path I am on was greatly influenced by all of you. In a box carefully stored away I still have all my Westledge academic evaluations. They are far more special to me than any report card could have been. Abbott de Rham, Westledge '74
Listener E-mail from Dick
Yesterday while driving to a meeting at Kingswood, I caught the last twenty minutes of your broadcast re Westledge. As with you, I had Lou Friedman as an English teacher at Kingswood though some years earlier. He was nothing but outstanding. I returned to Kingswood after college to join forces with guys like Jim Goodwin, Steve Watters and Steve Davenport. For a couple of years we ran a 60's style program, a school within the school where we exposed ninth graders to a very nontraditional experience. By then, Lou had left to start Westledge.
My purpose in writing today derives from my reaction to your "urinate submissively" remark. I recall your years at Kingswood and am more than a little surprised about your sense of being subjected to unfair treatment. As I remember you had pretty free reign to express yourself as you wished and that you were truly respected as an individual. Your remark yesterday was a real unnecessary and unwarranted cheap shot.
While Westledge stood for a lot of right ideals it also had its difficulties which were significant in limiting its lifespan to eight years. In the same light, as you well know, your high school alma mater is celebrating its centennial, no small feat for a day school. Families lay down $30,000 a year for their kids and as I'm sure you well know, these are smart folks who understand value. At KO, diverse groups of individuals continue to be respected for who they are and what they do.
Faculty like Rob Kyff continue to extract intellect and accomplishment from students everyday.
The School continues to employ the same standards that you experienced, which it might be added, seemed to have paid off for you through the years.
All this having been said, I continue to enjoy your work in the Courant and on WNPR. I simply feel that you should know what your listeners think.
I stand corrected. My mother taught French. :-)
My parents met while working at Westledge School in 1968. It was each one's first job out of college. My dad worked with finances and coached and my mother was a Spanish teacher. They left in 1970 when my dad enlisted in the Army and they later settled in Simsbury. My mom has spent the fourty years since working in Hartford area boarding schools, but has always talked about the great vision of Westledge and how much she enjoyed working there. The memory of Westledge and its accomplishments has been a consistent story in our home while growing up in the 80's and 90's. I'm glad you are talking about the school today!
I'm a Westledge alum (71-77)
I'm a Westledge alum (71-77) from Seattle, ended up as a research psychologist.
I wanted to add more about the feel of Westledge, something Colin was trying to eke out of people throughout the conversation. Part of the individual responsibility and mutual respect that was core to Westledge was the incredible diversity and maturity of the curriculum.
No required courses except something about Conn state history (state law). There was organic gardening, pottery, philosophy, soccer, african dance. For high school plays we did Pinter and Kopit. We read Plato and William Burroughs.
Morning meetings, the daily community gathering, weren't just announcements but also performances - faculty and students singing, reading poetry, dancing.
Yes, a lot of flower-children behavior going on (you should see our yearbooks), but also opportunities to experience art and literature and science as colleagues of the adults around us rather than mere students.
A lot of aspects of the Westledge education began to be incorporated into traditional prep schools as the 70's progressed - arts integration, individual responsibility, written feedback instead of or in addition to grades, mentoring relationships with faculty. But the curriculum remains unique in my mind. And a lot of that came from the people. Lou gathered together an amazing group of talent, let them teach what they wanted, and expected students to engage at the same high level.
Like Lou said, that was hard for some people, both faculty and students. And when the money ran out for the scholarship program (whether because of 70's economics or the opening up of the other private schools) we lost both talented teachers and students.
Not sure the experiment could be repeated...
Westledge Days...
after reading your piece on your Westledge experience, I wanted to reach out and say that for some reason, I never forgot your name. I know that we knew each other even briefly during that time and we may have even been friends of sorts. I reside in Scottsdale, Arizona these days and unfortunately missed the radio show. However, if you are on Facebook at all feel free to say hello! Once again, I'm Brooks Duvall.
Listener E-mail from Tim
A similar current incarnation of Westledge might be found in the Big Picture Magnet School in Bloomfield:
"The school is based on the idea that students learn best when they are actively engaged in their own educations through personalized learning, authentic work, adult mentors and family involvement."
Another similar, but different school, at the time of Westledge was Shanti, the public alt. h.s. in Hartford's train station.
I went to Westledge for 5 years but chose to graduate from Shanti by spending a senior year there.
Listener E-mail from Gerri
Hello from Nebraska! I attended Westledge School from 1972 to 1976. In answer to your question, "what was Westledge to you?" or something similar, I came to Westledge on a lark, following some friends from a shoreline town after my own family had fallen irreparably apart. From a middle class family, my grandparents paid my way and I fell somewhere between the scholarship students and the wealthy. I saw Westledge as a haven as well as an opportunity to experience the whole world. Of course, it wasn't the whole world, but Westledge was a world unto itself. I took all the college track courses but also took years of Outward Bound, pottery, and community internships with such entities as The CT Citizens Action Group. Without Westledge I may have sunk into the comfort of drugs and alcohol (contrary to popular myth, Westledge actually gave many of us a reason to do things other than drugs) and I certainly would have had a less full experience of the world. I have traveled and worked far and wide and now teach yoga in rural Nebraska. Life is good. Thanks for the show. I'd like to suggest a further study of Westledgians; we are an interesting bunch.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- On Jan. 1, entrepreneur Jason Sadler will legally become "Jason HeadsetsDotCom."
The 30-year-old founder of IWearYourShirt, who wears sponsored T-shirts for a living, recently held an online auction. Looking to raise cash for his business, Sadler said he would change his last name for all of 2013 to the name of the highest-bidding firm.
Sadler said 25 companies participated in the auction, which ended Wednesday. Two bidders -- Headsets.com and PawnUp.com -- battled it out to the very end.
Ultimately, San Francisco-based Headsets.com, a seller of headsets for telephones and other gadgets, won with a final bid of $45,500.
Sadler said he's excited about his soon-to-be new last name. "It was really interesting to see my idea come together," he said. "I'm not nervous, because Jason HeadsetsDotCom will be my new name in 2013, but not for the rest of my life."
Headsets.com CEO Mike Faith said Sadler's crazy idea was a perfect fit for his company. "We've done some wacky marketing things ourselves in the past," Faith said.
Three years ago, for example, Headsets.com offered free headsets for life to anyone who got a tattoo of the company's name. "It generated a lot of buzz," Faith said. "Six people actually did it."
Faith said Sadler's gimmick is a "one-year inexpensive gamble" for Headsets.com, which generates $30 million in sales annually.
"The $45,500 we paid to win equates to $900 a week, or $125 a day," Faith said. "That's not expensive for the marketing value we're hoping to get from this."
Sadler came up with the auction idea to raise capital for his startup, but said he plans to donate some of the money raised to charity.

The impressive efficacy of imatinib in CML is well-established and is correlated directly with transcription levels of its target, bcr-abl. Higher doses of imatinib are indicated in pts with rising levels of bcr/abl transcripts. RQ-PCR is considered to be the optimal method for determining levels of bcr/abl transcripts in pts with CML. Furthermore, the degree of reduction of total leukemia cell mass by imatinib as measured by FISH and RQ-PCR correlates with progression-free survival. This study was undertaken to determine the potential of RQ-PCR to predict ongoing pt response to imatinib based on the duration of complete cytogenetic remission (CCyR).
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study presents data that provide a very nice correlation between clinical, molecular, and cytogenetic parameters in the treatment of chrnic-phase CML with the novel bcr-abl targeting agent, Imatininb. In the study population reported here, an overall 78% of pts who were FISH (-) had improved or maintained MR on Imatinib therapy at 12 months of follow up. Furthermore, all pts reported here continue to be in complete remission, both cytogenetically and hematologically. Thus it appears that RQ-PCR is indeed a useful indicator of ongoing response to long-term Imatinib therapy in chronic phase CML pts. In this era of long-term Imatinib treatment, additional studies are warranted to evaluate the identification and characterization of patients destined to be late-progressors, as well as to better understand the longer-term adverse effects profile of imatinib in this population.
Dec 7, 2010 - Nilotinib may improve survival in some chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, and patients with various types of CML respond well to ponatinib, according to research being presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, held from Dec. 4 to 7 in Orlando, Fla. Other studies being presented outline the optimal use of imatinib, address how a new gene target functions for several myeloid malignancies, highlight a tool for predicting acute myeloid leukemia outcomes, and address the use of mitoxantrone in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Which current NHL players will make the best TV analysts?
Martin Biron retired last week. As noted by many, many members of the media (us included), the former goaltender should have his choice of TV jobs.
"Happy retirement to goalie and soon-to-be TV/radio star Martin Biron. If there were a Stanley Cup for class, his name would be on it."—Adam Proteau (
"Imagine it won't be long until Biron gets a media gig. Great story-teller, colorful personality and good perspective on the game."—Katie Strang (
"Look for Marty Biron, who retired today after a 16-year career, to be offered a TV job.He is one of the most gregarious players in history."—Sam Carchidi (
"Word is that Marty Biron has jobs waiting in both English and French media should he choose to call it a career."—Steve Simmons (
"There are few people in the game now who are better suited for TV than Biron. I wonder if there is anybody better. Fantastic personality."—Dan Rosen (
"One of the game's nicest men, Martin Biron, announces his retirement. I might have to learn French so I can listen to him on TV."—Brett Cyrgalis (
If the point was overstated, it's because it was true; Biron, to put it simply, is good at talking.
Here are 10 current players who, like Biron, seem ready for TV whenever their career ends if they don't have anything better to do. There aren't a lot of requirements here—some combo of brains, candidness, humor and notoriety can get it done.
Use arrow keys to navigate
of 10
P.K. Subban, Montreal Canadiens
Subban's 23 years old, so he's got hundreds of millions of dollars and a few more Norris Trophies left to earn, but whenever he's done, he'll have whatever job he wants. Those four qualities in the intro? He's got best mix of them all. He also already has worked as a TV analyst and clearly has no problem opening his mouth, on and off the ice.
Watching him ham it up with his brothers
was one of the highlights of the 2013 draft.
of 10
Roberto Luongo, Vancouver Canucks
This one comes with an asterisk;
if Luongo brings his Twitter game
, he'll be perfect. Another option: Disguising his voice and overlaying the
avatar on his face. That actually might be more fun. Luongo's been an elite player for a long time in a major Canadian market, and clearly has a candid side that doesn't always come out at the moment. It's easy to see him on the CBC, or TSN with friend/"conspirator" James Duthie.
of 10
Andrew Ference, Edmonton Oilers
Ference is one of the smarter,
more socially conscious guys
in the NHL. He's also been really accessible as a player, and
shown a solid sense of humor
both in interviews
and on Twitter
. Another factor—he's been in the league since 1999, when he was just 20 years old and playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins. That's a good base of knowledge than spans a few different eras (and two lockouts).
of 10
Jaromir Jagr, New Jersey Devils
It's tough to imagine Jagr sticking around in North America whenever he retires—but he should. TBS thought outside the box
in hiring Pedro Martinez
for their baseball coverage, and Jagr would be in a similar situation. He's not a native English speaker, as people love pointing out about Martinez, but he certainly handles himself well enough, and his charisma, candidness and credentials are more important than anything else.
of 10
Zach Parise, Minnesota Wild
Parise is polished and familiar to a relatively wide portion of the American audience, thanks to his time with the U.S. Olympic team. NBC, for example, likes giving American names shots—Jeremy Roenick, Mike Milbury, Eddie Olczyk, etc. Parise seems like a logical progression.
of 10
Dustin Penner, Anaheim Ducks
Penner is another player with a clear sense of humor; the best example of that was his response to the Great Pancake Caper of 2012. He's not just athlete-funny, either. During the lockout,
he interned at Conan O'Brien's TBS show
, and he pretty clearly enjoys the entertainment side of the business. Generally, self-deprecation is an attractive, too-absent quality for media folk, and Penner has it in spades.
of 10
Paul Bissonnette, Phoenix Coyotes
Biz has the most famous Twitter account in the NHL for a reason; he's legitimately funny. He's also got the attention of other funny people on Twitter, and he's come a long way since his
pre-BizNasty2point0 days
; recently, he called out someone for
using homophobic slurs
, and he vocally supports You Can Play. If he can blend all that together, he'll be really good, despite the fact that bottom-six players are probably overrepresented on TV broadcasts.
of 10
Ben Scrivens, Los Angeles Kings
For whatever reason, goalies tend to make good TV analysts, and Scrivens seems to fit the bill. Specifically, he's smart—he graduated from Cornell, has Shakespeare quotes on the side of his mask,
listens to Ted Talks on planes
and, in the past, has talked about next-level statistics. That'd be a welcome addition, particularly from an ex-player, to TV broadcasts. Hopefully we don't have to wait until Scrivens retires to get it.
of 10
Joe Thornton, San Jose Sharks
He's an elite player who's got a great relationship with the people who cover the game. Most importantly, though:
Joe Thornton Rooster Watch
proves that he's got a candid side to tap into. He just needs to, uh, pick different words.
of 10
Gabriel Landeskog, Colorado Avalanche
This would be way, way down the road for Landeskog, who's still just 20 years old, but the Avs' captain is pretty impressive. He's thoughtful, patient and despite growing up in Sweden, speaks flawless English. He also has a recent, great Twitter burn on a fan who thought he should've fought Milan Lucic, so the sense of humor is there.

View the dependency graph for this libraryParser/unparser generator for Common Lisp
Zebu is part of a set of tools for the translation of formal languages. Zebu contains a LALR(1) parser generator like Yacc does. Aside from generating a parser, Zebu will also generate the inverse of a parser (unparser). In contrast to Yacc, the semantics is not given in terms of ``routines'' but declaratively in terms of typed feature structures. Syntax is specified using BNF-like productions and lexical categories are specified using regular expressions. Zebu generates a LALR(1) parsing table. To parse a string with a grammar, only this table and a driver need to be loaded. The present version of Zebu contains the ability to define several grammars and parsers simultaneously, a declarative framework for specifying the semantics, capabilities to define and use meta-grammars (grammars to express a grammar in), as well as efficiency related improvements. The current version compiles a grammar with 300 productions (including dumping of the tables to disk) in approx 2 minutes and 30 seconds on a HP 9000/370. The current version can also produce a generator using a 'reversible grammar' notation, in addition to a parser.

Monitoring social and economic variables alone, a growing number of investors now understand, is no longer enough to understand nations' competitiveness. In a resource-constrained world, a critical component of economic success will be through careful biocapacity management. But until now there has been no methodology that enables credit rating agencies, investors and financial information providers to integrate such ecological data in their respective risk models.
In October 2011, Global Footprint Network launched a two-year project with the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and leading financial institutions to investigate the links between ecological and financial risks at the country level, and introduce more ecologically informed risk analysis into the market.
On November 19, 2012, the key findings of the E-RISC: A New Angle on Sovereign Credit Risk report were unveiled at an interactive event hosted by Bloomberg in London. The report found that a ten percent variation in commodity prices can lead to changes in a country's trade balance equivalent to 0.5 percent of GDP. Further, a ten per cent reduction in the productive capacity of soils and freshwater areas alone could lead to a reduction in trade balance equivalent to over 4 per cent of GDP. (Download report as a 5MB .pdf)
Bloomberg will also now be offering Global Footprint Network's country-level natural resource risk data (National Footprint Accounts) on all its terminals. The data will help users integrate natural resource risk into sovereign debt, economic growth and company valuation models.
Through Ecological Footprint resource accounting and other analyses, Global Footprint Network and its partners can measure a nation's true assets and deficits—the wealth and vulnerabilities that are not currently included in credit risk models and government bond ratings. This is data that's critically important to the finance industry.
This ground-breaking project substantiates the business case for financial institutions and ratings agencies to include ecological criteria as a key component of country risk analysis. The E-RISC report fills a methodology gap by exploring to what extent resource and ecological risks can impact a nation's economy and how these factors affect a nation's ability to pay its debts.

BiographyChief, Division of Vascular Imaging and Intervention
Ana Gamboa Webelman has suffered four venous thromboembolic events, or deep vein blood clots, during her lifetime. The clots threatened to end her days as a runner until Robert Schainfeld, DO, and Stephan Wicky, MD, physicians at the Massachusetts General Hospital Vascular Center, were able to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of the clots - May-Thurner syndrome.
The medical community has made great strides treating coronary and carotid artery diseases and reducing mortality associated with myocardial infarctions and strokes. While as many as 3 million Americans have renal artery stenosis (RAS)—a condition that narrows or blocks the vessels that supply blood to the kidneys—RAS is often overlooked and underdiagnosed.
March is DVT Awareness Month. Up to 600,000 people are hospitalized in the United States each year for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). If left untreated, DVT cases can lead to Pulmonary Emboli, which are blood clots that escape into the circulation and become lodged in the lungs. They result in nearly 60,000 deaths each year.
The goal of the Interventional Radiology Symposium at Massachusetts General Hospital is to introduce current medical students to the innovative, minimally invasive, and clinically oriented field of interventional radiology.

Child benefit change is right approach, David Cameron says
David Cameron has said the decision to remove child benefit from better-off families is "the right approach".
He told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show "85% of families" would get the payments in "exactly the way they do now".
The prime minister also said the government was "absolutely right" to limit most working age benefits to a 1% rise, which will be the subject of a Commons vote on Tuesday.
Labour's Ed Balls called the child benefit changes "perverse".
Mr Cameron's comments come ahead of the coalition's mid-term review on Monday.
Changes coming into effect from Monday will see families with one parent earning more than £50,000 lose part of their child benefit.
It will be fully withdrawn where one parent earns above £60,000.
'Fundamentally fair'Analysis
If you or your partner get child benefit and either of you has an income of above £50,000 a year you may have to pay more tax from Monday.
The income that counts is confusingly called 'net-adjusted income'. In fact, it is your gross income before tax from all sources but minus pension contributions, child care vouchers, and gift aid donations.
If you live as a couple it is the higher income that is counted not your joint income.
If that income is more than £50,000, the person who earns it will have to pay a new tax called 'high income child benefit charge'. It will be collected through self-assessment and you must register with HMRC by 7 October.
If that income is £50,000 to £60,000, the charge will be less than the child benefit received on a sliding scale - at £55,000 it will be 50% of the child benefit received.
If that income is £60,000 or more, the charge will equal the child benefit received. In other words, one partner will get the child benefit but the higher earning partner will pay it all back in the new tax.
Defending the policy, Mr Cameron said: "I'm not saying those people are rich, but I think it is right that they make a contribution.
"This will raise £2bn a year. If we don't raise that £2bn from that group of people - the better off 15% in the country - we would have to find someone else to take it from."
He added: "I think people see it as fundamentally fair that if there is someone in the household earning over £60,000 you don't get child benefit... I think it is the right approach."
Asked about government plans to cap working age benefits at 1% - including the rise in the pay of public sector workers, out-of-work benefits, and tax credits - Mr Cameron said "those are all in my view absolutely right decisions".
"We need to control public sector pay... we need to limit the growth of welfare payments overall - and that must include the tax credit system, and for those out of work it's right that their incomes aren't going up faster than people in work."
The prime minister also insisted the government was going "full steam ahead" with a packed agenda in the second half of its term.
In the wide-ranging interview, Mr Cameron made a number of major points, including:
- He promised British voters they would be offered a "real choice" on Europe at the next election
- On the economy, he said it was vital for a country to be able to pay its debts - maintaining "a low rate of interest" so it could borrow money cheaply
- He said he was "absolutely determined" to overhaul the deportation system so the radical cleric Abu Qatada and others could be deported from the UK before they appeal
- The prime minister also said he was "absolutely clear" Britain would defend the Falkland Islands in the face of mounting pressure from Argentina
- He also confirmed he wanted to remain prime minister until 2020
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Chancellor George Osborne said he took "no great pleasure" in reducing people's benefits but that it was needed to ensure a "brighter future".
Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps told the BBC's World at One: "I have three children I've filled in the form. I totally understand and get how frustrating these things are."
Mr Balls, Labour's shadow chancellor, told Sky News the changes to child benefits were "perverse".
"It's a complete shambles," he said.
"We're going to have many many hundreds of thousands of people who will end end up filing in tax returns because they didn't realise they were supposed to apply by today not to get the child benefit.
"I've always supported a principled approach to the welfare state which we would call progressive universalism."

15 Delicious Ways to Eat, Drink & Enjoy St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day arrives just when the seasons are at their most ambivalent. Will it rain? Will it snow? Will the sun suddenly appear, bringing gardens and green delicious things back to life? The simple country fare on the traditional St. Patrick's Day table reflects this tipping point between winter and spring. Here are some of our favorite delicious ways to celebrate this Irish-American holiday.
Over-wintered potatoes and cabbage, along with preserved beef and bacon are the classic choices — along with a pint of good Irish beer. Here are some simple ways to enjoy St. Patrick's and the Irish influence in American cooking. From a vegetarian hash to succulent roasted cabbage with bacon, and real Irish scones to a hot Irish cocktail, pick up a plate or a glass and be Irish, at least for today, saying goodbye to winter and hello to spring.
Here's a smattering of good yet simple Irish eats (and drinks!) we'd like to indulge in today. Many are vegetarian (Guinness Stew, Red Flannel Hash) and most are simple ways to enjoy the vegetables that are still available to us here in the late throes of winter and early spring. Happy St. Patrick's Day, and happy cooking!
• 1 Red Flannel Hash - Onions, potatoes, cabbage, and... beets! No corned beef in this hash, which is a wonderful way to start or end your day.
• 2 Roasted Cabbage with Bacon - One of my favorite recipes ever, and it just has a couple of ingredients. It turns out silky, plump cabbage wedges, shiny from the olive oil and bacon.
• 3 Vegetarian Guinness Stew - Another vegetarian way to enjoy vegetables and St. Patrick's at the same time.
• 4 Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Guinness Cake - Don't care for Guinness? That's fine — just use it in this rich, chocolatey cake instead.
• 5 Real Irish Scones - Sara Kate went to Ireland and brought back this recipe for these moist, light little pats of joy.
• 6 My Mother's Irish Soda Bread - Classic Irish soda bread, with buttermilk, caraway seeds, and golden raisins.
• 7 10 Ways to Eat a Potato (and Just a Potato) for Dinner - The most enduring culinary symbol of Ireland is still the potato, and this post celebrates that humble, wonderful vegetable with ten ways to let it stand on its own for dinner.
• 8 Kerrygold Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey - And if you just want a bite of cheese with your Irish scones or bread, then this cheese flavored with Irish whiskey is your best bet.
• 9 Cheddar & Chive Guinness Bread - Lots of Irish-inspired ingredients packed into one delicious loaf of bread.
• 10 Chocolate Stout Pudding Pie - Beer in your pie? When it's as luxurious as this one, oh yes.
• 11 Irish-Style Lager from Rogue Ales - This year's beer pick for St. Paddy's.
• 12 Warm Up to St. Patrick's With an Irish Whiskey Skin - A hot and potent mix of whiskey, lemon, water, and sugar. An Irish cousin to the Hot Toddy, and just right for the colder moments of spring.
• 13 The Trouble With Irish Whiskey (and James Joyce Cocktails) - Bushmills, Jameson, and the James Joyce cocktail.
• 14 Beer Float! - One of our favorite ways to enjoy Guinness or any other proper Irish stout is with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sacrilege! say the beer purists, but really, an ice cream-stout float must be tried at least once. Bitter, sweet, cold, and delicious!
• 15 Irish Coffee - Classic and wonderful!
What are you cooking for St. Patrick's Day? Is the classic corned beef and cabbage on your table? Or are you branching out with something a little different?

Talking baseball in any language
By Craig Muder
After 14 years of waiting for his call to Cooperstown, Bert Blyleven learned how to relax at election time.
So during his first full day as a Hall of Famer on Thursday, the Dutchman reveled — and poked a little fun — at his moment in the sun.
"I guess they figured it was (the year) twenty-eleven, so it was Bly-leven time," said the 287-game winner who was born in Zeist, Holland. "I'm just glad they finally got it right."
Blyleven's Class of 2011 teammate at the Hall of Fame, Roberto Alomar, was clearly humbled by his election. After falling just eight votes short in 2010, Alomar charged passed the hallowed 90-percent mark in this election.
"The last year was difficult," Alomar said. "But it was all worth it."
The media turnout for Thursday's press conference in New York City was robust — especially among Spanish-language outlets. Alomar enthusiastically provided responses in his native language and acknowledged the influence his home country, Puerto Rico, on his career.
Blyleven, however, was unable to provide answers in Dutch — drawing a hearty laugh from the writers when the suggestion was made..
"Hey let me answer that," Blyleven said when a reporter queried Alomar in Spanish.
No, the Dutchman doesn't speak Spanish. But he and Alomar let everyone know what a thrill it was for them to join baseball's best in Cooperstown.
In any language, Cooperstown translates into immortality.
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Now that we have forgiven Aolmar for his incident in baseball by spitting at umpire John Herschbeck even though he has been forgiven, shouldn't we now forgive another great one in Pete Rose fro his gambling on baseball?
Both men made mistakes that were embarrising to the game, yet they both had great careers with outstanding numbers and they BOTH DESREVE to be in the Hall of Fame.
So, next year as a fan of the game I expect baseball to forgive and to nominate Pete Rose to the Hall of Fame.
Thank You. Mike from MD..
Bert said it best "I'm just glad they finally got it right".Can anyone explain how you go from only 17.5% of the voters thinking that you are deserving of the hall to 79%? It doesn't make sense.Either you are or aren't!Your career is over and nothing changes.I for one think it's time for the voting to be done by the fans (1 vote per fan) like a real election.Pete would be in and so would Big Mac.How often have you heard "this game belongs to the fans"? How often have you heard "this game belongs to the baseball writers"?

Recipient of Penny Fox Internship Fellowship
From my first days at Moore College of Art & Design I have been continually excited to be within an arm's reach of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. With over 300,000 works in its encyclopedic collection, the entire world literally resides within its walls, located only a few short steps away from Moore's front door. I am thrilled that I have accepted a position in the PMA's Museum Studies Internship Program. I am eager to spend my summer at such an internationally renowned institution learning new professional skills and networking with respected arts professionals and other interns from across the nation. Through the internship program I will assist registrars and curators with essential tasks that will allow me to better understand what is necessary to achieve the museum's goals-- an experience that can only be transformational for me.

quote:According to Forbes, the team ranked 13th in "1-Year Value Change %", or the increase in value of the franchise over this time last year. The Jaguars finished in this category with a 6% boost in value of the franchise, from September 2011. To put that in perspective, there were twelve franchises that listed as having a value growth of 0-3%, at least half or less than that of the Jaguars. Those franchises included the likes of the Cincinnati Bengals (0 growth), New Orleans Saints (1%), Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals (2%), and the Washington Redskins (3%).
quote:Perhaps the most promising of all the financial information released by the magazine, was the Jaguars showing a revenue intake over the past year of $238 million. While that number wasn't in the ranks of the Cowboys ($500 million) or Patriots ($380 million), it was not far off from the middle of the pack franchises that reside in much larger markets. The Jaguars also took in more revenue, than the Bengals ($235 million), Rams ($231 million), Detroit Lions ($231 million), Minnesota Vikings ($227 million), and Oakland Raiders ($226 million). The team was essentially tied with the Falcons, who brought in $239 million last year.

Saturday, January 5, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Vice President of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit #6 Sheila Brooks says the post she contributes much of her time to is a pillar of support for her and family members of war veterans alike.
"What we're all about is honoring their service yesterday, today and tomorrow," Thomas told the crowd in a smoky bar area open only to members of the legion. "…I want to say thank you again, Commander." Thomas joined the American Legion Auxiliary through her late husband, John C. Thomas, a U.S. Army veteran. She has served as the organization's first national president from Virginia since 1984. As a 31-year member of the auxiliary, she has held numerous leadership positions in the organization.
Following the presentation, Thomas said she is hoping to meet as many people as she can this weekend. She has many stops scheduled throughout the state, with a visit to Newmarket's Post 67 at 2 p.m. today. |

Hayden calls Bobby over to the bed and tells him he'll make it hot right here at home. He pulls out his big cock and Bobby gets right to work licking and sucking the rock hard tool. After some amazing head, Bobby kicks back and feeds his big dick to Hayden who nearly makes him cum with his mouth but stops and says 'let's fuck.' He gets Bobby on all fours and plows his ass then rolls him over on his back and fucks him some more. Hayden pulls out and shoots then Bobby jacks off and blows an impressive load.

Strange Days JB
So the President, as best I can tell, has repeatedly violated federal law by spying on American citizens in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The Congress, controlled by his own party, responds not by demanding an investigation into the matter, but rather by asking meekly whether it might amend the statute so that whatever the President has been doing (which he won't actually tell us) could become legal. The President says, not really necessary, don't you fools realize that when I act as Commander-in-Chief I can't violate the law? And if you insist that I did, well then, your laws are just plain unconstitutional. A Democratic Senator then stands up and argues that if the President broke the law repeatedly, he should be censured, if not impeached. Everybody else makes fun of him. At this point the Republicans, who lined up almost as one to impeach the previous (Democratic) president for lying about sex to a grand jury, while making impassioned speeches about the rule of law, are now delighted by this development, using the fact that the Senator is talking about censure as an opportunity to fire up their base. So children, here's the moral of the story: If you are the President, feel free to violate the law, early and often. Just make sure you do it when your party controls all three branches of government. Because just as blood is thicker than water, party is thicker than law.
". . .amend the statute so that whatever the President has been doing (which he won't actually tell us) could become legal."
Article I, Section 9: No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. Any relevance?
Take heart. The people may be ahead of their "leaders" on this one. A new poll shows a close plurality (46-44) in favor of censure. Among voters the numbers are 48-43 in favor. Among Republicans, 29 percent favor censure.
I am sure the President's support would evaporate drastically in the event of a court ruling that his actions were unlawful. The real key to the whole mess is getting judicial review of the merits. The public actually has a much higher regard for the rule of law than it does for elected officials; for that matter, the public has a higher regard for the rule of law than elected officials do.
this is really amazing. the issue here is not about policy, its about who we are. we can choose the rule of law or we can choose the rule of men. i don't care who the president is, or what his motives are, he is subject to the law. that congress won't even investigate is shameful.
I think its possible that there are side effects other than weakening the rule of law. In the eyes of the rest of the world, its possible that the nation as a whole has come to appear more hypocritical, and I also think its possible that the president has lost a degree of trustworthyness before other nations, since he so openly violates the laws of his own nation.
Now the Saudi government is openly supporting a what GB calls a 'terrorist organization' (Hamas), and where once GB declared 'you're with us or against us', he is now silent. It just seems to me that along with a host of other things, openly disrespecting the laws of his own country has left him considerably wanting in the amount of leadership he can excercise in the world.
What rule of law? Show me a Democrat who actually cares whether a power they want the federal government to exercise is actually delegated to the federal government by the Constitution, and I'll start listening to whining about "the rule of law". Until you're willing to uphold the highest law of the land even when it says you can't do something you want to do, it's all just partisanship.
Oh, and Clinton SIGNED the law making that testimony manditory, in case you forgot. He who lives by the stupid law, should die by it.
How can Democrats and civil libertarians in either party stand by, while again the public's discomfit isn't being addressed? As angry as I am over GWB's lawlessness, incompetence, malfeasance, dictatorialism, etc., I think I am angrier over the Democrats' skirt of these matters, sans Feingold.
It's amazing that the public "gets it," but neither the opposition party nor the ruling party does. And, even though the Republican Congress could stop this imperialism in its tracks, if for no other reason than the law and its reflection of themselves, More incredulous, I am still trying to understand why the opposition Democrats aren't just as edgy about all this as the public at large? A solitary voice in the wilderness cries, the people clamor, and Congress (1) laughs over the idea that anyone would censure a miscreant, or (2) calls for discussion and investigation to confirm what's already known. The ruling party wants to rewrite law to allow the illegal activity to become legal, rather than hold the lawbreaker to account. And so the imperial president, who has already shown his contempt for Congress, the Constitution, the balance of powers, public opinion, claims anew his doctrine of acting on his own authority as Commander of Everything. And everyone (sans Feingold) goes: La, de la, de la, And the citizenry despairs and nobody hears.
If Congress so amends FISA, does this suggest that Congress is using the Executive pardon power? Is there a "dormant" pardon power in Congress? Or is this merely a "Do-over"? And what about the specter of the consitutional take of the Senior Senator from PA?
There is no bar to giving retroactive effect to an ameliorative change in a staute. The Courts due it all the time. And legislatures too in response to sweeping opinions. Sometimes persons convicted under the earlier statute get compensated as well.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that causes thousands of deaths each year in North America. Breathing in carbon monoxide is very dangerous. It is the leading cause of poisoning death in the United States.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Carbon monoxide is a chemical produced from the incomplete burning of natural gas or other products containing carbon.
The following items may produce carbon monoxide:
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
When you breathe in carbon monoxide, the poison replaces the oxygen in your bloodstream. Your heart, brain, and body will become starved of oxygen.
Symptoms vary from person to person. Those at high risk include young children, the elderly, persons with lung or heart disease, people at high altitudes, and smokers. Carbon monoxide can harm a fetus (unborn baby still in the womb).
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include:
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air. Seek immediate medical help.
Install a carbon monoxide detector on each floor of your home. Place an additional detector near any major gas-burning appliances (such as a furnace or water heater).
Many carbon monoxide poisonings occur in the winter months when furnaces, gas fireplaces, and portable heaters are being used and windows are closed. Make sure you have any heaters and gas-burning appliances regularly inspected to make sure they are safe to use.
If possible, determine the following information:
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The patient may receive:
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause death. For those who survive, recovery is slow. How well a person does depends on the amount and length of exposure to the carbon monoxide. Permanent brain damage may occur.
If the patient still has impaired mental ability after 2 weeks, the chance of a complete recovery is not very good. Impaired mental ability can reappear within the first 1-2 weeks in those who have been symptom free for a short while.
