Congress Responds to Iraq Study Group's Findings
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
GWEN IFILL: And for that reaction, we go to two senior members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: Christopher Dodd, a Democrat from Connecticut; and Chuck Hagel, a Republican from Nebraska.
Welcome, gentlemen.
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD (D), Connecticut: Thank you.
SEN. CHUCK HAGEL (R), Nebraska: Thank you.
GWEN IFILL: The Iraq Study Group today said that time is running out to make the fixes in Iraq. Based on what you saw in that report — I'll start with you, Senator Dodd — today, what do you think those fixes ought to be? What should be picked out, and what should be left by the roadside?
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: Well, first of all, let me add my voice of commendation to Jim Baker, Lee Hamilton, and the other members of the commission. It's been eight long months.
They listened to about everyone you could possibly listen to in coming up with these recommendations, and they deserve a strong vote of praise from all of us, regardless of what your position may be. It's been a monumental effort on their behalf, and I want to commend them.
I also have a strong feeling that the thrust of what they're suggesting is right, and it might be worthwhile, before we even adjourn from here, to have the Congress of the United States endorse or pass a resolution commending them for their efforts and at least commending them for the thrust of what they're suggesting.
To pick up on Jim Baker's suggestion that we send a message to the American people and to others, particularly in Iraq and elsewhere, that this is something that we can generally support — there may be differences on specifics — but overall I think it's the right direction, and we ought to be doing that.
Old and new ideas in the report
GWEN IFILL: Well, let me ask Senator Hagel about at least one of the specifics, the 2008 withdrawal idea, the idea that, by the first quarter of 2008, the majority of U.S. troops could go into embedding with Iraqi troops in order to help them with training, rather than being the forward force on the ground. Do you think that's doable?
SEN. CHUCK HAGEL: Gwen, I don't know what's doable, but I would say this: First, we have a very significant contribution that's just been made here by 10 very important Americans. And as Chris noted, we should thank them, and we appreciate what they've done.
I have a sense, Gwen, that the impending disaster in Iraq is unwinding at a rate that we can't quite calibrate. And I would use this example. You talk about training.
Senator Dodd and I, over the last three years and longer, have heard this administration, members of the military, come before the committees and say, "We're making great progress on training. We have over 200,000 trained Iraqis in the army." And every few months, we get those reports.
So it's not like something's new here, Gwen, that somehow we're going to put a new focus on training the Iraqis. We've been doing that; we've been doing it, I think, as well as anybody could do it.
GWEN IFILL: Well, Senator, if there's nothing new here, then what do you take from this report that's so praiseworthy?
SEN. CHUCK HAGEL: Well, let me give you the general concept of the report that I think is important, and that is you heard Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton say that, of the 79 recommendations, that most of them would represent a new direction, a new policy.
Take diplomacy; that's certainly new for this administration. Training is not, as I noted before, new, but there are things in this document that we are going to have to look at. And the president is going to have to come forward and make some very critical changes in strategy, in policy.
And I think the bottom line here is, more than anything, Gwen, is that I hear a lot of talk about, "Well, this might work, this might work." The fact is the future of Iraq will be determined by the Iraqi people. It's not going to be determined by us.
Iran, for example, has more influence in Iraq than probably any nation today and will continue to have that kind of influence. I think what we're doing here to a certain extent -- in all due respect for people who worked hard on this, Gwen -- is we're dancing around the bush on this.
This thing is going to get resolved pretty quickly, and I think we've got to face some facts very quickly. And the last point I'd make -- what's happened over in Iraq the last two weeks, for example, that the prime minister and the president of Iraq has reestablished diplomatic relations with Syria. They have gone to Iran.
They have taken initiatives on the diplomatic front that this administration has been unwilling to do or be part of. That's the way this is going to be solved, through a political settlement.
Dealing with increasing violence
GWEN IFILL: Senator Dodd, I want to ask you about one of the big obstacles on the ground, and that's the question of violence. The report found that violence jumped more than 43 percent just in the time since they launched this new proposal to take control, Operation Together Forward, of Baghdad.
The report also found, in fact, that information that had been collected on the ground to be presented to you and to others about violence had been underestimated and perhaps massaged in order to fit administration policy. If that's what this commission that you praise has discovered, how much worse do you think it might be for getting something done in the future?
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: Well, I think Chuck Hagel's comments are about on target here. This is unwinding very quickly, and it may be even far worse than we imagine here; thus, the importance of moving quickly here.
There are several audiences here for this commission report. Clearly, the Congress and the president. We've been asking questions of the executive branch and of us, how we're going to respond to this.
The most important audience for this commission report are in Iraq and within the region. Most of these recommendations call upon the Iraqis to do things differently.
Clearly, the changing of thrust from a combat mission to a political and diplomatic one is very, very important, and that should occur.
The second recommendation of dealing with the regional powers, that you've got to engage in this process if you're going to succeed.
And, thirdly, and very importantly here, recognizing that having semiautonomous states here would be a major step backwards. Iraq needs to succeed as a nation. And if they're willing to do that, within Iraq, within the region, then you can make a case for continued support.
If they're unwilling to do that, then you have a hard time justifying, it seems to me, a continued military presence there, merely to become target practice for the sectarian violence in that country. That's the message here; the Iraqis need to hear it.
I'll underscore what Chuck has said: It's really their responsibility now to decide whether or not they want to be a nation-state or continue down the path they've been following. If that's the course, then we ought to be leaving there sooner rather than later.
Civilian-military relations at DOD
GWEN IFILL: But, Senator Dodd, can I ask you a little bit about the U.S. role and responsibilities here? One of the findings in the report was that there has been a strained civilian-military relationship at the Pentagon. Just not long ago, you joined most of your colleagues in voting to confirm Bill Gates as the new secretary of defense. Do you think he can fix that?
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: I hope so. I think we need a new attitude. And, certainly, look, you've got to have a far greater degree of cooperation. We heard it all the time.
Every time one of us went to the Baghdad arena, we would hear all the time the civilian leadership in the Pentagon, under the Rumsfeld administration, was just causing a lot of problems. They weren't being listened to. We heard that over, and over, and over again.
I'm hopeful and confident that Secretary Gates will repair that kind of damage so that you can get the kind of cooperation and listen to these people on the ground, and exactly what Chuck has said, again, here.
You need to be doing what can be done to train people adequately, but also our own military, the things we ought to be doing -- the condition of our military as a result of this conflict is in the worse shape it's been in decades.
We've been told over and over again by our military leaders that the state of repair or replacement is growing at staggering levels. And one of the things Congress ought to do immediately in January is address those underlying questions.
Attempts at bipartisanship
GWEN IFILL: Senator Hagel, the reports have it today that Congressman Hamilton and Mr. Baker went to the White House and told the president to his face today, "We're the only bipartisan advice you're going to get," and that they hoped he would, therefore, take it.
Now, all of this great talk today about bipartisanship might fly in the face of what we've seen in the past six months. As others in your membership have said, up on Capitol Hill today, how do we know that this is the great, new day for bipartisanship that people have been talking about today?
SEN. CHUCK HAGEL: Gwen, we don't know that. We hope that is the case, but I think most all of us feel that, in order to move forward with whatever new policy we're going to come up with -- and we're going to have to come up with a new direction to move forward -- it's going to require a bipartisan consensus.
It will be imperfect. Even people in the Democratic and Republican Party are split on this issue.
But if we are to attain any level of achievement, after 2,900 dead Americans have given their lives, and over 22,000 wounded, and over $350 billion invested already, and every day it gets worse, then it's going to take some very significant base of bipartisanship to move forward.
Now, there are going to have to be some tough decision made here over the next couple of months. It's now up to the president to see where he wants to go with this.
But, again, I go back to what I have said before: The future of Iraq and the Middle East is going to be determined by the Iraqis and by the people of the Middle East.
That's why this report, in my opinion, is important, because it focuses on the diplomatic effort here. All the other pieces to this are important, but there is no other way, no other solution. There's no other way out other than a diplomatic and political settlement.
GWEN IFILL: Senator Dodd, as a member of the minority, soon to become majority, in the Senate, do you believe in the joys of the possibilities of bipartisanship?
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: I really do. I think all of us have our differences and pieces. You can fly-speck this. But I think, if you take the overall thrust of it in here, then we really ought to be saying something and expressing this.
This is eight months of work done by 10 Americans who are partisans within their party, who were able to sit down, look at all of this, and come up with some recommendations. Whether or not you agree with every one or not is not the point.
The overall thrust, again: moving from combat to politics and diplomacy; dealing with the regional powers in the area; and telling the Iraqi government and people here this is not going to go on forever. The American public will not tolerate that.
I would like to see the Congress in a bipartisan way express our support generally for what's been suggested here, without having to get into the specifics of this at this point. That would be a very important message before we left here, to say something like that, to add our voices to the voices of these 10 Americans.
GWEN IFILL: Is that going to happen in the next, what, 48 hours?
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: Well, it could, and it's something the leadership would have to discuss, but I'd strongly recommend it.
GWEN IFILL: Senator Christopher Dodd, Senator Chuck Hagel, thank you both very much.
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: Thank you.
SEN. CHUCK HAGEL: Thank you.

When it comes to great Chinese-Filipino food, the Manila district of Binondo is top on everyone's list. This is not just because it's the birthplace of the 'panciteria,' but also because Binondo's cross-pollination of Filipino and Chinese tastes throws out plenty of novel surprises. Best of all, Binondo's food experiences are all accessible within a few minutes' walk of each other.
As the operator of a Binondo food-themed walking tour, Old Manila Walks' Ivan Man Dy (www.oldmanilawalks.com) is your go-to guy for advice on eating out in Manila's Chinatown. The first thing he'd like newbie eaters to know is that authenticity is not that easy to come by, not even in Binondo.
"Don't think that just because you go to Chinatown, you get the most authentic experience," he tells us. "There are good restaurants and there are not-so-good restaurants. You have to know where to eat."
And the best really depends on the kind of food you're looking for. "If you ask me what my favorite Chinatown restaurant is, it's hard to tell you unless you tell me what you want to eat," says Ivan. "You have to know the specialties [of these places]."
Royal Garden: Dimsum & Lauriat-style dining
A craving for dimsum, seafood, and lauriat-style dining will more than likely lead you to Royal Garden. Yes, it serves earth-unfriendly shark's-fin dumplings. But that's not what draws Ivan to it: "I don't eat shark's fin, but I like the [other] food there. It's fancy." he says.
You can load up on dimsum alone, and Royal Garden's dimsum carts give you plenty to choose from: chicken feet, pork intestines, siomai, pork spareribs, and steamed beef balls, among others. Don't hold back.
Royal Garden is open 24 hours daily.
Where it is: 851 Ongpin St. cor. Padilla St., Binondo, Manila. (Tel: 733 1122, 733 1181)
New Poh Heng: Fresh Lumpia
The New Poh Heng lumpia house is a key component of Ivan's walking tour, and that's not just because it serves the best fresh lumpia in Binondo (though, arguably, that fact helps). "We go there because lumpia per se is related to the whole historical theme," explains Ivan. "It was an immigrant food that became part of the mainstream."
The lumpia house is located in a courtyard within an art-deco building. It's easy to miss, as you have to enter the building to find it. But it's in there: a carinderia-style set-up where they make the lumpia absolutely fresh right in front of you. The large lumpia, served with a drizzling of peanut sauce, is hearty and healthy, quite warm and just ready for consumption; best eaten on the spot.
New Poh Heng is open daily, except Sundays, from 7am to 7pm.
Where it is: 521 Quintin Paredes, Binondo, Manila. (Tel: 241 8789)
Dong Bei: Dumplings
Dong Bei Dumpling is another stop in Ivan's food tour: a 'hole-in-the-wall' restaurant that serves the most authentic northern Chinese dumplings in Manila. That is no coincidence, as the proprietor is a fairly recent immigrant from northern China. And it shows in the product: chewy, freshly-steamed dumplings made right on the spot, and served with a filling of ground pork, leeks and chives, with just a hint of ginger.
The menu also features stuffed and fried pancakes, wanton soup and fried rice, all in serving sizes meant to be shared. The downside is the size of the place: there's room for only a dozen diners.
Dong Bei is open daily from 10am to 10pm.
Where it is: 642 Yuchengco corner V. Tytana Sts., Binondo, Manila. (Tel: 241 8912)
Masuki: The Original Panciteria
Don't call it comida China. "It's 'panciteria' food," explains Ivan. "It's not Chinese food," he continues. The melding of Chinese and Filipino/Spanish tastes has come up with something entirely new.
Masuki is, for Ivan, everything a panciteria should be—steeped in history, using authentic ingredients, and possessing not a little exclusivity. "It's the type of restaurant that is answerable only by yes or no," Ivan chuckles. "I like it. But if you don't like it, I'll understand."
Because, for one, the venue takes on the aroma of its rather old-style mami. "It's not the most fragrant [place]. It's old style, very gamey," he says. "I happened to grow up eating it; that's why I like it." The mami that lays claim to Ivan's loyalty is mainly made of miki noodles, with recados added according to taste. You can have a choice of beef, wonton, pork, or chicken mixed with your noodles, a pair of each, or even all four in one heaping bowl.
Masuki is open daily: Sundays to Thursdays, from 7am to 10:30pm; Fridays and Saturdays, from 7am to 11pm. Where it is: 825 Benavidez St., Binondo, Manila. (Tel: 244 0745)

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It boggles my mind that so many otherwise intelligent people appear to see the world through cloudy goggles.
They're too busy casting heroes as villains to not only recognize, but take full advantage of the most exciting time the music industry has seen in what feels like ages.
I'm referring to the music industrial complex's ongoing and orchestrated campaign against Internet radio. Where Pandora (P) once absorbed the brunt, Spotify now routinely gets taken to task by a set formation of usual suspects.
All of a sudden, cats such as David Byrne and Thom Yorke feel the need to regurgitate their visionless views on the state of the music industry on a schedule that makes it less likely I'm a conspiracy theorist and more likely there's a concerted effort to discredit streaming radio.
Given the history and reality of the music industry the vendetta these guys wage makes zero logical sense. I'll never understand how Internet radio serves as pretty much the sole target of their misguided and ill-conceived scorn.
First and foremost, when you start assigning external forces the blame for your or somebody else's perceived lack of success or earnings (or whatever), you have taken step one in the wrong direction. But, if these guys are going to hold anyone responsible for the horribly imprecise assertion that artists aren't getting paid, they should go back before the Internet radio boom and look at Apple (AAPL).
The music industrial complex put its faith in Steve Jobs. That would not have been a bad idea if the record labels and other factions of the apparatus were ready, willing and able to move as nimbly as tech companies such as Apple can.
But we know they can't. And they don't. So they fall behind, point fingers and fight the trend before feebly chasing it.
Steve Jobs took the idea of the record album and murdered it when he started selling individual songs for 99 cents a pop on iTunes. And, unless you're a massive name selling huge amounts of downloads -- newsflash -- you're not getting rich. Apple is. As always.
Then Internet radio came along. Apple decided to straddle both sides of the fence between downloads and streaming. Once again, the music industry agreed to whatever arrangement Apple put in front of it on the false hope that the combo of iTunes and iTunes Radio could keep downloads from dying.
It won't. Downloads are dying. Soon to be dead. And streaming -- as personalized radio and subscription on-demand -- will rule the day.
Either way, Apple wins and the music industry loses because winners and visionaries staff Apple while a bevy of losers comprise the decision-making establishment at the labels and other cogs of a deteriorating record industry machine.
So, for the last 5-10 years or so, Apple has, in a major way, dictated the fate of the music industry.

Counselling service facing closure as cash runs out
PUBLISHED: 13:35 25 June 2014
© Archant Norfolk 2014
A West Norfolk counselling service that has helped support people for 19 years is facing closure at the end of the month.
Mr Bees counselling service, which is held at the St Augustine's Centre, North Lynn, will not be able to continue after June 30 unless it receives vital funds of £120,000 to keep it running for the next three years.
And King's Lynn south councillor, Alexandra Kemp has met with Norfolk County Council officials calling for the service to be saved.
Miss Kemp explained: "The point about this service is that is extremely responsive with a swift turnaround of 2-3 weeks from first referral to first appointment. I understand you can wait for 6-18 months for an appointment for other local counselling services.
"Intervening early can prevent much more costly help later on in the NHS. It is extremely good value for money with a manager and network of volunteer counsellors and runs on a shoestring."
She added: "Mental health services in west Norfolk have been historically underfunded. We need to save this now."
Mr Bees also provides two child care nurseries but director Marion Mayhew has stressed that they will not be affected.
She said: "We have always been self-funded, but we now have additional costs as we are required to deliver high quality child care and any spare money we have goes into that. We have to pay more for higher qualified staff to be able to produce this so our costs have gone up."
But Mrs Mayhew said that she is "devastated" about not being able to offer the counselling service that she and her late husband Steve founded back in 1995.
Back then, Mr and Mrs Mayhew, both relationship counsellors, realised that Lynn was in desperate need of a service that supports families so set so they set up Mr Bees.
Over the years they have counselled 1,600 people and see around 24 clients per week.
Since the news that the service is looking very likely to close, she has received 15 letters of support from doctors.
Mrs Mayhew said: "Over the last week I have had two letters from distressed people who need help and I can't - it makes me feel terrible.
"People need the service, they have no where else to go to in the area. I am also very concerned for the children of those parents who need that help."
Mrs Mayhew said that she is hoping that there is a chance that a clinical commissioning group (CCG) could help.
Dr Sue Crossman, Chief Officer of West Norfolk CCG said: "This service has never been funded by West Norfolk CCG as it was supported by Mr Bees having initially been set up through a charitable grant.
We have only recently been made aware of the situation regarding its possible closure.
"Since then we have met twice with representatives and are currently investigating what the service offers patients and how it fits within the range of other counselling services available in West Norfolk. We will then consider whether or not we are able to provide some financial support."
Harold Bodmer, director of adult social services, Norfolk County Council has pledged officers will investigate if there are any gaps in counselling services and if there are any identified, the council would take it up with the clinical commissioning groups.

57. Franklin Leonard
A McKinsey management consultant turned studio development executive sounds like shorthand for a Hollywood screenwriter's nightmare. Yet Franklin Leonard, 31, avoids those stereotypes. "I came to Hollywood because I have a real love and admiration for storytellers and writers," he says. The Harvard-educated Georgia native shows the love every year with his side project, the Black List, an annual ranking of the year's best unproduced scripts, picked by some 300 Hollywood, New York, and London film insiders. Many of these scripts are subsequently produced: Oscar winners Juno and There Will Be Blood are alums, and this past year's critically acclaimed The Road and Zombieland got made after appearing on the 2007 Black List.

Should we sympathise with anorexic teens/models?
I was looking through at all the images of the so-called "up and coming models of the 21st century" and I actually started to feel jealous of their tiny little waists.
In some respects, I admire the effort that is involved in starving yourself - you must admit, it takes some amount of effort.
But how can I sympathise with spoilt little boys and girls complaining about their waistline when you see pictures like these?
That's what I was sent when I started to complain too much about how "fat and miserable" I felt, it puts things in perspective.
So who would you sympathise more with? Them? Or her?
The first and third pics on the bottom are photoshopped. They are from pro-ana sites.
And you SHOULD sympathize with them. It's a mental illness, and if you feel no sympathy, then you can go FU*K yourself.
Being A Teenage Model... PLEASE HELP!!!!! :(?
I wanna be a teen model and i need to knw the requirements in weight, height, etc. But i think im a lil short :( im only 5'3" and a half almost 5'4" my mom is 5'3" and my dad is about 5'8"- 5'9". i wanna knw what the chances are for me to be as tall as my dad... and if im not are there any stretches or excersises i could do that would help stretch my legs over time and make them longer? I also wanna knw what i should eat everyday to maintain a healthy diet and a slim look and how to get rid of little bits of acne. Here is a little on how i look:
Age: 13 turning 14 in January
Height: 5'3" and a half
Body: Very very long torso and shortish medium legs and medium arms
Face: Gray/Green eyes and light/ dark brown hair
Skin: A tiny bit of acne here and there and tannish skin
Weight: about 115
Diet: i eat pretty well but i love sugar and candy and i sometimes skip breakfast cause im never hungry in the morning and eat a lotta beef (and i used to be anorexic and completely stopped eating and i lost about 20 pounds and weighed 70 lbs. but i was soooo unhealthy! So nothing unhealthy anymore)
I wanna weigh about 100 or less so thank you so much if you could tell me diets and excersises that i could do regularly... thank you again! :)
well I'm a male model, and I've never seen a girl with your height on the runway, but it sounds like you can definitely be a commercial print model, there's no height requirement for that type of modeling
What's the perfect teen model body? Can I become one?
can I actually become a model like my mom and family keeps assisting on me trying to do. im almost 14 (8th grade) and tall like my parents and from cheerleading at 5'10"/118lbs. my waist is 24",hips 33",bust 33". not like I actually listen to him, but it's my older smaller brother that keeps knocking me and saying i would make a horrible model but i think he's just jealous. he just turned 17 and is really short like our aunts and grandmas at 4'8"/77lbs so... haha he hates looking up to me all the time and when my family always tells me i should consider it he gets all negative. well here's a pic of me, am i model quality? or do you agree with my tiny,rude older brother?
He's wrong....try it....maybe u might like it...but only do it if you are interested, not just because someone else suggested it.
I really want to become a teen model.?
im 15 years old 5'3 and 94 pounds im really tiny and thin. i've wanted to been a model for a long time and my parents support me, they just said to find good information about how to get started and how to find a good agent. can you help me outt?
thanks alot for helping me fallow my dream!
That site is really good with modeling stuff- apply there.
Also, i want you to know that being thin isn't all there is to being a model.
-you usually need to be tall (requirements are usually 5'8)
-you have to have a good face as well. this means clear skin (a must!), well done makeup, good hair (medium to long is the most wanted), done eyebrows, white teeth, and nothing should be to ill proportioned (eyes that are too close/wide apart, big ears, etc.)
-you have to be comfortable with showing skin (it will be extremely difficult to become a successful model later on if you're not willing to bare all).
-you must be well groomed (this means healthy hair on your head, but the rest of the hair on your body is taken care of (shaved/waxed legs, arms, bikini area, facial area)
-you should be comfortable with wearing fur (this isn't a must, but it will come in handy later on in life- though there are many successful models/celebrities that speak out against animal cruelty!) [i recommend you don't do fur- but that's just my opinion]
-you need to be comfortable with the fact that some agencies will make you change your look. (this means that you have to be willing to cut/color your hair or get extensions, fix your teeth if you have a gap or anything of that nature, tan, gain/lose weight, etc.) while some agencies may ask you to get plastic surgery- breast enhancements or nose jobs most likely- this isn't a must; it's up to you weather or not you want plastic surgery.
along with these you have to know what type of model you want to be
-catwalk model; should be tall (at the least 5'7), thin, with small chest. (also required is the ability to 'walk')
-underwear model; this is for those who are thin, but have larger breasts/butt.
-plus sized model; doesn't apply to you.
-other model; there is also the option of just modeling one aspect of you body (i.e; a hair, hand, or foot model)
other things to consider are your 'look' (california girl, chic new yorker, waif-ish european, girl next door, etc.). your portfolio (you need one but depending on your agent you'll either make one yourself or have an agency help). and your ability to photograph well (you need to practice this-different looks for instance, but you also need to be able to be aware of your entire body and how to position it; this will takes a lot of time but with practice will improve). some other things are you need to be able take direction well (never argue with the photographer/designer), and you need to be willing to travel.
if you're interested in modeling for abercrombie (guys) send your photos to email@example.com.
some of this stuff only applies for older models, so since you're in your teens, you don't really need to be worried about your height (yet.), showing skin (until you're 18), or plastic surgery (you still may get asked, but it's less likely). while you may not be looking to be a certain 'type' of model yet, it certainly helps- girls as young as 16 are modeling for runways around the world; and i think (i'm not positive) that there have been 17 year-olds modeling for victoria's secret's PINK - www.pinkmodelsmanagement.net/
in the links section i've put in some links to agencies, 'how to model' sites, and contests.
anyway. i really hoped this helped! i used to want to be a model (i'm like you, very naturally thin- 97 lbs.), so i know a bit. i'd really be interested to know how it goes with everything. good luck!

Why use any kind of punishment?
O.k. I've been reading for a week or so and I see so many mom's who punish thier little bitties. Babies! guys under five are to tiny to understnad all that well what the reason for physical discipline is, they simply know they can get in trouble and it happens whenever they are curious and thier attitudes end up so much more wary, scared, nervous and plain old deceitful if physical discipline is used. My Brother was never disciplined and he is a model teen. Truely, I never once had to tell him more then twice, never. No slapping, hitting, corners, spankings., nothing. Not even time outs! he didn't get seriously reprimanded until 5 (yelled at). My daughter and all the guys I nannied, (five families, all had two or more guys) never needed any and they behaved better then most guys, they strived to master new skills and good manners for thier own benefit!! not out of fear, whats the deal? why so many moms who think that "discipline" works? why do you feel you need it?
I slapped little fingers when they played with an electric plug.
I timed out little ones for a few minutes when sharp words didn't stop them from an activity that I wanted to stop.
Once in a while, I put baby to bed for a while when they were terribly fussy. Usually, they went to sleep, too.
And then, I found a few minutes, when we were both calmer, to explain why they shouldn't do this thing.
I never did beat them, nor use a belt or brush, nor hurt them physically. Neither did I call them names.
The time for structured discipline is between the ages of 1 - 6 years, to teach them the things that will never leave them. This is the time that they learn the most.
Game Request For Teens?
I'm looking for either a: Wii, Gamecube, or computer game that has these qualities in it:
no horrible language (tiny words are ok)
made for teen girls (Or young teen girls)
has a story mode (Story line)
rating not higher than T (for teens)
I want a game that has either:
a lot of drama in it (Degrassi type drama)
a band game
a cheer game
a gymnastics game
a farm game
a vet game
a colorguard/winterguard game
a modeling game
(or a game for a girl teen)
These games should be able to entertain a teenager without inapropriate behavior from the characters.
If you have any other game ideas you might think I'd like, please feel free to post.
(The computer game has to work with most computers)
(The game has to be a game a parent would be fine with)
call of duty 4
Teens: What is your opinion on airbrushing models?
in my opinion, i think it is stupid.
It makes girls (and boys, not being sexist here) want to look like them.
when i look in magazines, or on the tv, all i see is airbrushed photos.
where are the natural people!?
is it just me or do other people think that airbrushing is such a bad thing, because it covers up reality?
They make their size zero models look even smaller, they delete tiny blemishes on people's almost-perfect complexion?
These magazines tell us that no one is perfect and that we should embrace who we really are, yet they have people behind the scenes working day in and out to make sure their models look fantastic.
what are your opinions?
People want airbrushed models, thats the whole point.

I think your poem is great! Thanks for this awesome question-- it really made me think about myself and my values!
Teen girls: if you had all it takes would you want to be a model who exposes herself after age 18?
i mean would you have the guts to be a model who is able to wear the sexiest outfits and very revealing things, and very tiny pieces and pose sexy. not only innocent swimsuits and underwear.
me, i would definitely not. if i was as pretty as a model and i could be a model i still wouldn't because i think posing to a camera and being so exposed near strangers most of the time isn't for me and isn't who i am. even if it sometimes seems glamorous and fun i wouldn't do it.
but i was wondering how t is for other girls and if they would agree on being that kind of model?
I think it's weird.Random guys are jacking off to your image isn't that a tad creepy. Personally i would never i would feel too exposed and also if my family saw i would be dead.

Philly joins bid to combat sugary soda consumption
Warnings about diabetes and obesity could start popping up on soda cans, if a petition sent to the FDA this week gains any traction.
The Philadelphia Department of Health, along with numerous other organizations around the country, signed the letter urging the government to require health warnings on beverages with large amounts of sugar or other caloric sweeteners.
The organization spearheading the effort is the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Julie Greenstein with the group said it's by no means a cure for obesity, but it's a start.
"What these warnings would do is give some valuable information to consumers so that they can make decisions on their own," she said. "If they find out that there's 17 teaspoons of sugar in soda they might think, 'You know what, maybe I should drink water instead.' "
In 2005, the nutrition advocacy group could not persuade the FDA to endorse the labels. Greenstein said she hopes for better luck with the Obama administration.
Mark Schutta of the
"How's it going to hurt the overall health of the American population? The bottom line is, it's not. The only thing it can potentially hurt is the consumption of these drinks and the profit margin for soda manufacturers," he said. "This is just not something in the quantities that people are consuming these drinks, it's just not something that's good for anyone's health."
Schutta said kids as young as 1 are drinking up to seven ounces of soda a day.

Report: Israel Uses Facebook, Twitter to Blacklist Protesters
The Israeli government reportedly used social networks like Facebook and Twitter to monitor those coming to the country for a Palestinian solidarity mission known as "Welcome to Palestine," the Associated Press reports.
In addition to compiling a blacklist of more than 300 names, Israeli officials detained 310 activists in Tel Aviv on Friday for questioning, and denied 69 of them entry to the country.
Using social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter, the Israel government tracked activists with plans to travel to the West Bank for the "Welcome to Palestine" event and compiled a blacklist. The government then asked airlines to keep those travelers off flights to Israel. According to Interior Ministry spokeswoman Sabine Hadad, of the 310 who landed in Tel Aviv, 69 were denied entry. Sixty-five were held until the next available flight could be arranged and four were immediately put on return flights. The remaining 241 travelers were permitted to entry into the country, AP said.
In the course of the operation, two planes, one from Geneva and one from Rome, were diverted for boarding by security. At the Ben-Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, hundreds of police were deployed, and at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, several protesters were turned away at check-in, gathering in the terminal to shout "Boycott Israel." To the right, an AP image of a security checkpoint at Charles de Gaulle.
Organizers of the campaign accused the Israeli government of overreacting to a peaceful mission that sought to highlight travel restrictions and living conditions under Israeli occupation. "This was never about demonstrations at airports. We are on a fact-finding mission. We want to understand what's going on," said Pippa Bartolotti, an activist from Wales. Of her 40-member group from Britain, she said she was the only traveler permitted to travel to Israel.
Visitors seeking access to the West Bank must travel through Israeli-controlled crossings by means of international airports or the land border with Jordan. Because Israel prohibits most Palestinians from entering Israel or using its airport, they must travel to neighboring Jordan to fly out. Travel restrictions are even more onerous in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Israel only permits a few travelers to cross its border with Gaza, and most Gazans can only travel outside by crossing into Egypt through the shared border.
According to Yigal Palmor, a spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry, the list was compiled by following organizers on social networks and Web sites. Some activists even used Twitter to post progress updates as they traveled through Israeli border control. "These people announced on their Internet sites that they planned to come here and cause disruptions, and told their friends. We were able to contact other foreign ministries and simply give them links," Palmor said.
Since the deadly naval raid on an international flotilla last year, the Israeli government eased its blockade on Gaza; however, recent protests, including fatal clashes along the borders of Lebanon and Syria, have ratcheted up security concerns. With demonstrations organized through social networking sites such as Facebook, Israeli Defense officials say the country now closely monitors organizer activity online.

Golden opportunity with C magazine launch of its "Money" issue
C Magazine launches its "Money" issue on Wednesday in Toronto with an issue containing an artist project by Abbas Akhavan called what is above is as that which is below…. He has hand-inserted a sheet of imitation gold leaf in the centrefold of each of 2,200 copies of the magazine and there are 25 special limited edition magazines with real gold leaf, signed and numbered by the artist. They sell for $50 a copy. The gold leaf (imitation and the real thing) overlays a low-resolution pornographic image taken from the Internet and an image of a gold mine.
"With continued handling the gold leaf deteriorates, leaving a shimmering gold nugget where the sheet has been affixed to the magazine. The inside back cover image, titled and… presents the text "what is below is as that which is above" gilded onto a gallery wall in real gold leaf and licked off by the artist. Conjoining the centerfold image, the gilded text circles back to the title of the centerfold, creating an endless loop that evokes, alternately, physical transcendence and bodily abjection. An article by Marina Roy, titled Holy Shit, accompanies the artist project," says the magazine in a release.Regular issues will be available at the launch for $5 a copy or free with a subscription. Christmas gift subscriptions are $15.The launch is Wednesday December 8 from 7 -10 p.m. at the Beaver, 1192 Queen Street West.

NOGALES, Ariz. - The comprehensive immigration reform bill that's likely to be filed when senators return to Washington in two weeks will be heavy on compromise, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle said after a border tour here Wednesday.
Most of the so-called "Gang of Eight" meetings regarding immigration reform have begun with Arizona and have ended with Arizona, said Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado, during a news conference at the Santa Cruz County Complex after touring the U.S.-Mexico border at Nogales.
"For me it's a reminder of how comprehensive this work really is and how much care we have to take not to create unintended consequences in the work we are doing," he said.
"Not everybody is going to get everything they want in this bill," he said, "but if we can get the kind of bipartisan cooperation that has been demonstrated by the negotiators in this group of eight, I think we can be successful and we can fix a lot of the issues that ail us."
Four senators, including Arizona Republicans John McCain and Jeff Flake, toured parts of the border by helicopter and met with Border Patrol agents and customs officers on the ground to see firsthand what's going on in Arizona.
During their tour, the senators even saw a woman use a ladder to get over the border fence before being apprehended by the Border Patrol, according to a tweet by McCain.
Earlier this year, the senators released their framework for comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to legal status for the 11 million estimated to be in the country illegally, "contingent upon our success in securing our borders and addressing overstays."
Last month, both Gov. Jan Brewer and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano toured the border separately.
Brewer invited President Obama to come down and see how the border is not secure. Napolitano said in a news release that the Border Patrol is better staffed today that at any time in its 88-year history and apprehensions had decreased to 365,000 - a 78 percent decline from their peak in 2000. Apprehensions are used as an indication of the illegal immigration flow.
After touring the border Wednesday, Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, said he realized the border has adequate manpower but needs more technology.
"You can read, you can study and you can talk, but until you see things, it doesn't become reality," he said. "Arizona is probably the state that is more affected by immigration than any other, so being here and seeing what's going on is very important."
And it can't be done with one fence or with agents lined up along the border, he said. "There's not one solution."
The lawmakers wouldn't give specifics about how much money they will propose to spend on border technology, but McCain said, "We are talking about a lot of money."
Schumer was quick to add that the plan is for the bill to pay for itself.
Between fiscal years 2005 to 2012, the budget of Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol, increased from $6.3 billion to $11.7 billion, according the Migration Policy Institute.
CBP staffing grew about 50 percent, from 41,001 to 61,354, and the biggest share went to the Border Patrol in the Southwest.
"The bottom line is we are 90 percent there," Schumer said about the immigration reform proposal. "We have a few problems to work on," but he didn't want to elaborate what those were.
"Straightening out our future flow of immigration, both on the family and job side, is very important to do, and securing the border is very important to do, and we can do all of those together," Schumer said. "That's what we aim to do and being here just deepens your understanding of both how difficult the problem is but how important it is we solve all aspects of the immigration problem."
Area lawmakers have been meeting with their constituents this week, and a lot of the discussion has been on the issue of immigration.
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva took part in a community forum Tuesday hosted by the Border Action Network. He said that any enforcement plans should be transparent and audited.
"It's a tough pill to swallow but a compromise we are going to have to accept," he told attendees.
He said most lawmakers agree on a path to legal status, but the question remains on how many years the process should take.

I have a confession to make: I used to be a hater. Yes, I used to think that Valve was an overrated developer who made good games, but couldn't keep to schedules. Gabe Newell's vocal disdain towards consoles and his general Windows fanboy ways left a bad taste in my mouth. So, really, I didn't pay much attention to what Valve was doing, until I got turned on to Steam. Even then, I didn't fully realize just how innovative that product was. That is, until I found Portal 2.
And Portal 2 has changed everything.
Besides being an amazing and hilarious game, Valve's implementation of Steamworks into the PS3 version was nothing less that brilliant. While playing the game, and unlocking Trophies on the PS3, somewhere in the cloud my Steam achievements are also being unlocked. Then I can start a new game on my PC. And another on my Mac. And any new achievements are distributed appropriately (well in the case of Steam anyway). Yesterday, I found an unopened copy of Left 4 Dead on sale, and while my PC can barely handle the simple task of surfing the internet, the mere process of validating the game through Steam allows me to play it on my Mac, which is much more suited for graphics-intensive gaming. (Albeit with some lag.) Hell, now that Valve has released beta versions of apps for Android and iOS, I can't help but assume they are going to get into the mobile gaming market as well...
So the Steam experience has got me thinking: why are so few publishers doing this? Some developers have utilized the PSP's connectivity to the PS3 to swap in-game items (and in the case of Kojima's Transfarring, whole game save can be swapped via USB Connect). The Vita appears to be taking this concept even further. But, that's still just two Sony platforms. I want to see more. EA has a opportunity to use their Origin platform for a multi-platform gaming experience, and to their credit, they have utilized some neat features such as unlocking goodies in one game by playing another. But again, I want more.
Needless to say, the next console cycle will be a move forward, and not backward, so any achievements or trophies we gamers have accumulated must remain intact. But, why can't developers create cloud saves for their games, so that a PS3 trophy is an XBOX achievement, is a Steam achievement? Valve knows this: Counter Strike: GO will bring Steamworks to the XBOX360. (Though, it will remain to be seen if eventually, my PS3 trophies will unlock achievements on my XBOX Live account by way of Steam). Hell, even the mobile developers know this: I can play a damn game of scrabble on my iPod against my friend on Facebook. There are dozens of games using Apple's Game Center in addition to other services such as Crystal or Open Feint; all keeping track of the player's progress over multiple games and multiple devices.
I suppose that what I'm trying to say is that my hope for the next console generation is an erosion of the differences between consoles; being replaced by a more democratic system. A system whereby one can play a game with someone on a completely different console, and everyone can share the experience. Where we no longer debate about who got the better experience, the Microsoft user or the Sony fan, or the gamer who enjoys playing on the PC--because we're all playing together. The technology is already here; it's just slow to be adopted.
What do you think? Is the Steam model the wave of the future? Will cloud gaming bring with it the breakdown of the traditional console market? Let me know in the comments.

Vick says playing Falcons 'just another game'
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – It's been six years since Michael Vick last suited up for the Atlanta Falcons and so now, as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, the main plot of the teams' meeting on Sunday is the plight of the 3-3 Eagles and the imperiled future of their turnover-prone quarterback.
With the NFC foes meeting on what seems an almost annual basis, Vick has played twice in Atlanta (2009 and 2011), which, for him, takes on more meaning than playing in Lincoln Financial Field, as Sunday's game is. When Vick went off to federal prison on dog-fighting charges in 2007, some diehard fans remained with him. But those hard feelings are fading over time with Vick's old No. 7 Falcons' jersey being replaced by more No. 2 Matt Ryan Falcons' jerseys at the Georgia Dome.
Falcons wide receiver Roddy White, who is close to Vick and whose mother has sat with Vick's mother at previous Falcons-Eagles games, is one of the few remaining players still on Atlanta's roster from the time when Vick played for the Falcons. Vick said he sent White a text, telling him to drop his first five passes.
Other than that, Vick called Sunday "just another game."
"Last year, going back to Atlanta, that was special," he said, as he backed up Donovan McNabb in 2009, "so it added a little bit to the game. Now, it's just two good football teams going head-to-head and it's going to be a good football game. Nothing extra added to it. I'm not getting any more pumped for this game than any other game. It's just another game that we've got to play on Sunday and another game we've got to win."
Indeed, the Eagles do have to win. They could fall below .500 in a season in which 14-year coach Andy Reid's job could be on the line and that of Vick, as the starter, also appears on shaky ground. Vick has fumbled nine times, losing five, and thrown eight interceptions against eight touchdowns.
In Atlanta, Vick will face a defense that has 17 takeaways and whose plus-10 ratio in turnover margin ranks third in the NFL. Vick also has been sacked 17 times, tied for the eighth-most of any quarterback in the league, as he has played behind a patchwork offensive line.
"Obviously, he can't have that many turnovers," Reid said on Wednesday in a conference call with Atlanta media. "He'll be the first one to tell you that. Turnovers are a product of not just one person and so with that everybody's got to do their job better, including Mike. He understands that. He's a competitive guy. He doesn't want that to happen and then we can help with that. As coaches we can help him with that."
Vick was asked if he believed that he were playing for his job on Sunday.
"Who knows," he said. "I'm mean, the thing is I've just got to stay focused on what I'm doing and while I'm out there, getting the job done. Can't play looking over my shoulder, can't play worrying about I'm going to get taken out.
"If things don't go right and that's what happens, then I stand tall. I stand tall and keep pushing to the next time and the next go-around. But I'm not worried about that."
A loss would make Philadelphia's chances to make the playoffs that much harder one game before its season midpoint. At 3-4, the Eagles potentially could trail the NFC East-leading New York Giants by 2½ games and in the wildcard race they could fall 1½ games behind.
As a result, Vick realizes what is at stake.
"We feel like it's a must-win game for us, yeah, I won't lie," he said. "We have to go out and win. We're at home. It's an opportunity for us to go out and play in front of our fans and put on a good showing that we've got a tough team coming and it's going to be a good game."
If the Eagles don't get off to a good start or find themselves on the losing end, Vick knows well how the team's legendary fans could turn on them.
"Our fans, you know, we love them to death and they are who they are," he said. "You know, you don't come out and perform for them they're going to let you know and that's what we appreciate about them."

DeGregorio has led Atlantic Hockey since its formation starting with the 2003-04 season. The 2010-11 season will
mark another milestone for Atlantic Hockey, as the league will grow to 12 institutions with the inclusion of Niagara and Robert Morris. Those two join Air Force, American International, Army, Bentley, Canisius, Connecticut, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, RIT and Sacred Heart.
"Bob has been the cornerstone of Atlantic Hockey and continues to lead this league to new heights," adds Bellerose. "His work ethic for our member institutions is unpararelled."
During DeGregorio's tenure as Commissioner the league has had three different teams qualify for the NCAA tournament. Holy Cross, which has won two Atlatntic Hockey tournament titles, won the first-ever NCAA tournament game for Atlantic Hockey with a dramatic 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota in 2006. Air Force, a three-time Atlantic Hockey tournament champion, picked up the league's second NCAA tournament win with a 2-0 victory over Michigan last season.
DeGregorio, the former Merrimack athletic director and part-time Hockey East commissioner, was also instrumental in moving the conference tournament to a neutral site venue, Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y., for the last three years, and for the 2010 Championship.

In the days immediately following the George Zimmerman acquittal I was in a state of shock. I wasn't alone. I was stuck home with children too young to take to after-bedtime demonstrations, so I sat in front of my computer and tweeted with like-minded, grieving, angry fellow travelers.
But now that a week has passed, I have moved from my sense of helpless, hopeless horror to my version of an action phase. I'm going to share it with you, and perhaps you'd like to join me, or if it doesn't apply to you, you might pass it on to a friend to whom it does.
Multiracial teamwork, Image Credit: Shutterstock
As a white woman, I feel a special responsibility (I almost wrote "culpability" and I'm not sure that's far from wrong) regarding this case. I'm not saying it's my personal fault, but my "identity" (not necessarily one I choose, but one that is put upon me by everyone who looks at me) is an enormous working piece of the machine that killed Trayvon and denied his family justice.
Because of this, when I first heard about the makeup of the Zimmerman jury, I was really, really worried. I hoped against hope that maybe being moms of teens might help these women empathize with Trayvon. But (especially after hearing from the anonymous juror on CNN), we all know that didn't happen.
The fact is, throughout U.S. history—especially after the Civil War—white women have been the rhetorical foil white men have used to justify violence and terrorism against Black men. In the 1880s and 1890s there were several lynchings of Black men per month. In fact, in some years of those decades there were three or four lynchings per week. The overall "reason" given for these lynchings by almost everyone in the press—even in the Black press, which decried lynching but didn't always challenge the accusations leading to it—was the rape of white women.
But Ida B. Wells (my favorite dead person of all time), challenged this claim by investigating every lynching she could, finding that in fact only 30% of lynchings were actually claimed to be about rape, and that very few of those actually were rape cases. (Many of the cases involving sex between Black men and white women, were in fact consensual relationships, as Wells pointed out, garnering death threats for her pointed honesty.)
No one accused Trayvon Martin of rape. But the icon of the threatening, always-already criminal Black boy or man is an icon perhaps not invented, but certainly refined, in the heyday of Strange Fruit, and is made out of white men's need for sexual (well, and everything else) control of white women. This is well accounted for. Just go watch D.W. Griffith's Birth of Nation, and you will see the story unfold there just a few years past the height of the lynching era. In that film, anxiety about white men's loss of political and economic control to Black men is finally too much to bear when control of white women's sexuality is added to the pile of straws.
So when George Zimmerman assumed, based on appearance that Trayvon was a criminal, a big part of why he assumed it was this history of Black boys and men being considered threats to white women. Sadly, though it's been nearly sixty years, the twisted logic that made Emmett Till's life worthless and let his murders go free has done the same to Trayvon.
I say 150 years (at least) of being used as an excuse to terrorize Black boys and men is enough. I'm out. I'm a white woman and I am not afraid of Black boys and men. If some white man is afraid for me, well…he needs to learn to be afraid of me. Because I'm not taking it any more.
How do I change one of the keystones of white supremacy all by my little self?
Fine, I can't. But I can sure kick against it with all I've got and if you're a white woman, you can join me and recruit all your white female friends to join too.
It is time (way past time) for white women to ally with Black boys and men with all our hearts and minds, with every shred of power we've got, and when it comes to this issue, we've got more than most of us realize.
Here are a few small things we white women can do almost every day to fight the ideology that Black boys and men are our worst enemies and to refuse anymore to be theirs:
1. Stop using the phrase "I was the only white person there." It's code for some kind of perception of vulnerability at best, real threat or danger at worst. But the truth is, if you're the only white person somewhere, you're likely to be a guest, and treated as such. If you stumbled into the "wrong" neighborhood, the history above should assure you that you are perceived to be a threat--much more so than a target.
But when you say, "I was the only white person there" with no other context for why this was relevant, you are leaning on that history to explain what being there meant. You are underscoring the idea that generally, Black people are a threat to white people and specifically that Black men and boys are a threat to white women.
Besides not saying this yourself, you can refuse to support it with your silence when other people are saying it.
When you hear someone toss the "I was the only one…" line into conversation, stop the speaker and say, "what's your point?"
This will either force the speaker to unveil the racism behind the phrase, or to be clearer about why race legitimately mattered in the situation.
This isn't the only phrase of this kind. What are some others you hear in what seem to the speaker to be white-only conversations? Interrupt them whenever you can.
2. Make a friend. No, your Black friend won't be your get-out-of-racism free card. (And trying to wield it as one will lose you your Black friends fast. Because doing that is racist.) But let's face it, if you DON'T have any black friends, you've got a problem. (I'm talking to U.S. Americans who live in the U.S. here, not the people of Iceland.) And everyone knows that the best kind of friends not only reflect our sense of self back to us, but challenge our sense of self, stretch us to empathize with others' experiences and teach us new skills and ideas.
Real, honest, vulnerable friendships (based on something other than "hey you're Black and I need a Black friend!" of course) are always valuable. When they are made across the boundaries society polices the most, they can help undo the implicit bias everyone in our culture carries around. (According to this research, seeing anti-stereotypical images helps combat implicit bias. What's more anti-stereotypical than a true friend?)
Meanwhile, cross the daily thoughtless, race boundaries society has erected whenever the opportunity comes your way. Smile, and say hello to the Black man in front of you in the grocery store line, look those Black teen boys in the eye when they pass you on the street (whatever you do, don't cross the street!), sit by a Black man, instead of another white woman, on the bus.
Seek out integrated spaces as much as possible. Don't settle for the easy thoughtless comfort of being around a bunch of other white people. Try putting yourself in the minority often enough that you learn to be comfortable there.
3. Stop identifying with whiteness. I don't mean stop allowing yourself to be labeled white by the census or the law or whatever, but to identify with whiteness within yourself. Identifying with whiteness is a pillar of white supremacy. Whiteness was made up. It didn't fall from heaven decreed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. You may have to be it in the eyes of others and ironically, in working to undo it you must acknowledge the unearned privilege it gives you. But you don't have to give a flying fig Newton about it, yourself. You don't have to take the wrong side in historical stories, for example.
Back when I was teaching race in U.S. history and culture to college students, the white ones would eventually come to me all distressed that "white" people had done such terrible things in U.S. history. Half these kids' families weren't even in the U.S. at the time of some of the events that troubled them. I told them there was no reason to identify with Thomas Jefferson and no reason not to identify with Frederick Douglass. Your heroes should be the people who share your values, not your melanin levels.
Again, I'm not saying Jefferson didn't set it up sweet for you if you are white nowadays and you must acknowledge that, but you can be proud to be a U.S. American because of the heritage you share with others--a heritage that includes people like Harriet Tubman and W.E.B. DuBois.
Do you have any personal examples of how you've carried out any of the things on my list? Do you have any suggestions to add to the list? Please share them in the comments. It's time we U.S American white women got together to form a ring of love and protection around our Black boys. But first, we have to recognize that they are ours.

Britney Spears vs. Selena Gomez – Pop Clash
Britney Spears has done it again! Thanks to votes from the loyal army of Godney worshippers, Brit's single from 'The Smurfs' sequel, 'Ooh La La' beat Bruno Mars' track 'Treasure' in last week's Pop Clash poll.
That means Spears will go on to another round of competition, and that she's just two wins away from Hall of Fame status!
We're sure Brit's competitor this week is shaking in her boots a little bit, considering she's such a huge fan of Spears herself. Britney's 'Ooh La La' is going up against one of her biggest celeb admirers, Selena Gomez, whose single 'Slow Down' is the latest 'Stars Dance' track to hit the airwaves.
Dr. Luke co-produced Brit's slightly sexy but very sweet smash single 'Ooh La La,' reworking it from an original cut (by Lola Blanc, Ammo and Fransisca Hall) to make it more kid-friendly for 'The Smurfs 2.' The synthpop song contains a strong bubblegum vibe, but also takes on a heavier electro sound, especially during the robotic breakdown. "Ooh my my baby don't be shy / I see that spark flashing in your eye / My heart beats fast 'cause I want it all / So baby come with me and be my ooh la la," Brit sings on the sugary pre-chorus.
Meanwhile, over in Selena Gomez land, the 'Spring Breakers' actress / singer is promoting her second single off of 'Stars Dance,' the all-night party jam 'Slow Down.' Produced by the Cataracs, the masterminds behind hits like Far East Movement's 'Like a G6′ and Dev's 'In the Dark,' Gomez described the super-charged club banger as "a really fun song" during an interview about her new LP. She continued, "The beat changes and it's a vibe where you're in that moment. The song reflects about slowing that moment down."
So, which song has won you over, and which could you do without? Cast your vote up to once per hour below! This round of Pop Clash closes on July 8 at 3PM EST.

Goodell, Quinn, Simms chime in on the Cutler debate
Published: March 22nd, 2009 | Tags: Brady Quinn, Chris Simms, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Jay Cutler, Roger Goodell, Washington Redskins
Depending on when you think the drama in Denver started (perhaps the better question is, who started it?), it's unofficially Day 23 of the Jay Cutler–Josh McDaniels feud. The story that won't go away is still making headlines around the league, including the effect it is (or is not) having on rumored trade bait Brady Quinn, Broncos backup QB Chris Simms, as well as what NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell thinks of the whole mess.
We'll start with Goodell, who is coming up on the one-year anniversary of the Brett Favre saga, in which he got involved by reinstating Favre, which ultimately forced the Packers to trade the legendary QB to the New York Jets.
Speaking on the eve of the annual owners meetings in Dana Point, Calif., Goodell was brief and to the point in telling the Denver Post that he has no intention of getting involved in the league's latest QB drama.
Back to the Broncos, who will likely be listening to offers for Cutler at this week's owners meetings. What kind of compensation it would take for a team to land Cutler is up for debate. Rick Stroud of the St. Petersburg Times expects the Broncos' asking price to be somewhere in the range of a first- and second-round pick as well as a talented young QB. If that is the case, writes Stroud, then the Buccaneers are likely out of the running in the Cutler sweepstakes:
"Considering the Bucs pick 19th overall and used their second-round pick to get TE Kellen Winslow, Cutler wearing pewter is a long shot."
Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press thinks a move for Cutler would be the wisest decision the Lions organization has ever made. Sharp suggests a collection of first-rounders over the next couple of years could be enough for the Lions, who possess the first and 20th overall picks in next month's draft, to make a successful bid for Cutler.
"Should the Lions somehow pull off the unthinkable and land the 25-year-old Pro-Bowl quarterback for a collection of high draft choices over the next two years, general manager Martin Mayhew becomes the most successful Lions chief executive in William Clay Ford Sr.'s 45 years of sole ownership."
Patrick McManamon of the Beacon Journal takes a long look at the proposed three-way trade that would send Cutler to the Jets, Quinn to the Broncos and a collection of draft picks to the rebuilding Browns. McManamon writes:
"… if a team calls and makes an offer for Quinn, the Browns have to listen. Just like the Broncos had to listen to teams calling about Cutler, even though Cutler got his drawers in a bunch about it."
In the meantime, The Morning Journal caught up with Quinn at halftime of Saturday night's Cavaliers-Hawks game at Quicken Loans Arena to get his take on the proposed rumors.
Then there are the Redskins, who continue to appear in trade rumors for Cutler, despite denying any interest in the QB last week. The Washington Examiner, the same paper that started those rumors, references a league source who says the team is still interested.
Last but not least is Simms, who serves to benefit the most from this whole thing, but continues to fly under the radar. At best, Simms, who spoke to the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram about the situation in Denver, ends up the Broncos' starting QB, or gets a chance to compete for the spot. At worst, he gets some coveted extra practice reps while Cutler stays away from voluntary workouts until the situation is resolved.

CAMDEN � The Camden Fairview Cardinals got their first big challenge in the last regular game Friday night, as the Cardinals had to hold off a stiff challenge from the Watson Chapel Wildcats to win 21-13.
CAMDEN � The Camden Fairview Cardinals got their first big challenge in the last regular game Friday night, as the Cardinals had to hold off a stiff challenge from the Watson Chapel Wildcats to win 21-13.
Camden Fairview took control of the game early, as Matthew Ollison hit Braxton Hoof with a 15-yard touchdown pass with 9:14 left in the first quarter. The CF defense then forced a Wildcat punt, but the kick was fumbled away and Chapel scored a few plays later when Jordan Stargell hauled in a 40-yard touchdown pass from SanAntonio Cole. The PAT kick was blocked, however, leaving the Cardinals in front 7-6.
Watson Chapel later faked a field-goal attempt, with Kris McCullough passing to Cameron Banks from 7 yards out. Corey Baxter kicked the PAT, and Camden Fairview trailed for the first time all season, 13-7.
The Cardinals didn�t stay down long, driving 75 yards to score with 2:04 left in the half with Jamie Smith running in from 16 yards out. Aaron Wynn�s PAT put the Redbirds up 14-13.
Devonte Battles then returned the ensuing kickoff all the way back to the CF 6-yard line, with junior Keyondre Jones making a touchdown saving tackle for Camden Fairview. That play turned out to be huge, as the Cardinals made a goal-line stand from the 4, preserving their one-point lead at intermission.
Watson Chapel got the ball to start the second half but fumbled it away, and Camden Fairview scored with 10:01 left in the third when Jerry Moorehead punched in a 7-yard run push the Cardinals� lead to eight.
That would prove to be the final points of the contest, as Camden Fairview made a pair of defensive stands deep in its territory late in the game, and missed a field goal which could have increased their lead.
The Cardinals finished with 376 yards in offense, including 202 yards rushing with 18 first downs.
Smith rushed for 155 yards on 23 carries, while Ollison was 14 of 20 passing for 174 yards. Moorehead caught seven passes for 94 yards.
Watson Chapel was held to 89 yards rushing, with Battles getting 74 yards on 12 carries. Stargell caught two passes for 51 yards.

How Do I Get A Blueish Tinted Mint Color?
Decorating By lstalder Updated 21 Aug 2013 , 11:08pm by morganchampagne
2 replies
AIf the bride sent you a swatch to match then match it; don't worry about the words she used to describe the colour. People have all different sorts of ideas of what "mint" green is. In the end the right colour is what is important, not the right word. :)
AUmmmmmm. Maybe a hint of the americolor teal? Like a drop at a time in a batch of white fondant? That has more of a green but I can't think of anything.
Maybe combining the teal with sky blue?

There was no relief for Latvian side FK Ventspils as FC Salzburg scored four unanswered goals to complete a 7-0 aggregate victory at the Wals-Siezenheim Stadium.
Second-half strikes
René Aufhauser had scored a hat-trick in the first leg and proved to be Ventspils' undoing again when he effectively sealed the Austrian champions' progress with the opener on nine minutes. A crowd of 11,400 demanded more and duly got it after the interval as Milan Dudić, Saša Ilić and Christoph Leitgeb all added their names to the scoresheet in a comprehensive triumph. Salzburg's reward is a tie with FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.
Zickler rested
It was a pleasing night's work for Salzburg coach Giovanni Trapattoni, who was able to rest players such as Alexander Zickler and still take a early advantage when Aufhauser pounced on Patrik Jezek's deflected effort to break the deadlock. The visitors regained their composure, yet three minutes after half-time Dudić touched in Ezequiel Carboni's long-range effort to make it 2-0. Leitgeb and Ibrahim Sekagya had further chances before Ilić struck on 78 minutes, applying the finish after fine work from Vladimír Janočko. Leitgeb clinically rounded off the win in injury time.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P71 review
Was going on vaca, so decided to buy a digital camera. Played with it a few days, and found some pictures had noise in them (horizontal striations). Went on vaca and took some very nice pictures, but every once in a while, the noise was back. I like the quality of the camera and the pictures, but... (read problem section)
Tried to contact sony about the noise problem, but it's nearly impossible to speak with someone at sony on the phone. On the Sony web site, I required a repair, gave them the info on the camera and was informed it would cost a flat fee of $170.00 to evaluate and repair. I'm not very happy with sony, as I HAD been a supporter of their products. I guess that's what happens when you deal with a large, insensitive, out-of-touch company. So, buy something else instead!
