Officials in Foxborough this week named their top choice for the new Town Manager position.
The Foxborough Board of Selectmen on Tuesday made Dedham Town Administrator William Keegan an offer to be Foxborough's new Town Manager.
"I'm very fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to be at this stage," Keegan said Wednesday. "It's a great opportunity."
The Foxborough Board of Selectmen named Keegan among three finalists for the role two weeks ago, with Norfolk Town Administrator Jack Hathaway and former Wayland town administrator Frederic Turkington listed as other finalists for the position.
Foxborough Selectmen James Devillis named Hathaway as his first choice, but joined the majority vote to give Keegan a unanimous welcome, according to the Sun Chronicle.
Foxborough Board of Selectmen Chair Mark Sullivan, along with selectmen John Gray and Town Labor Counsel Leo Peloquin, will negotiate an employment contract with Keegan, who is available to start in Foxborough on April 1, before he makes a final decision to accept the offer, according to The Sun Chronicle.
"I have mixed emotions about it," Keegan said. "I've had great relationships with the people of Dedham and the boards I've worked with over the years. It's a good group, so I go with mixed emotions but it's an opportunity for me to look at as a new challenge."
Keegan, a Seekonk resident, previously served as the Seekonk Town Adminstrator prior to serving in Dedham, and said the shorter commute would also weigh into his final decision.
The Foxborough Board of Selectmen also voted Town Clerk Robert Cutler as acting Town Manager on Tuesday until the new manager is on board, according to the Chronicle.

Gametime eats call for finger foods that are easy to eat, keep well for while, can be prepared in advance, and most importantly -- taste good!

Chopsticks Etiquette
Approximately one-third of the world's population use chopsticks. Chopsticks (筷子, "kuàizi") are thought to be more than 5,000 years old.

The editors of AsianSupper walk you through the don'ts of chopstick usage.

Kitabi: Sorry I do not need any seeds at this time.
Lindamarie: I do not know the varietal names of the figs as they were given to me by someone who just said one is a white fig (green skin and white very sweet flesh inside) and the other fig is just called a strawberry fig because its got light green skin and pink inside, sweet but not as sweet as the white fig.

Focus on offence not fading
Eleven goals on 66 shots is what the Penticton Vees pulled off last weekend in two games.
In the previous five games from Jan. 10-18, they only managed to light the lamp nine times.
The current surge in scoring helped the Vees net wins against the Vernon Vipers, 6-1 on Friday, and 5-2 against the Trail Smoke Eaters on Saturday. Against the Vipers Erik Benoit, Cody DePourcq (two) Jarod Hilderman (his first career BCHL goal) and Shane McColgan beat Austin Smith, who was chased. Josh Blanchard then put one by Danny Todosychuk.
The Vees looked good against the Smoke Eaters, who have been re-constructed, as they were aggressive on the puck and taking the body. Steen Cooper opened the scoring, then Brad McClure, McColgan, Nic Pierog and Ben Dalpe beat Smoke Eaters goalie Adam Todd.
Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson said it comes back to them entering the zone with speed. It enables them to create off of the forecheck.
Part of the Vees' offensive struggles stemmed from Harbinson and his staff trying to find the right combinations for their lines following roster moves prior to and at the Jan. 10 BCHL deadline. The changes helped boost the depth at the forward position to match the defence and goaltending.
As the Vees were generating some chances in games, Harbinson said they just tried to stay positive.
"You look at the week before, we hit the post a bunch of times. Just didn't finish our chances," he said. "I think everything with us is, when we're playing at a high pace, opportunities will come for us. Sooner or later they will go in."
Pierog said keeping things simple contributed to the Vees' success, and added the lines are more settled down after a few weeks of practice.
"I think we're starting to gel and get a lot more points," he said. "Things are starting to work out for us, which is nice."
The Vees' coaching staff would have had bigger problems to address had the goaltending and defence not performed as strong as it has. In their last three losses, the Vees gave up seven goals.
The work in practice last week worked to generate more goals, but it's not over. One successful weekend is in the books, but the Vees must keep moving forward. When asked if the focus remains the same this week, the answer from Harbinson is it remains for the rest of the season.
It's smart to not stray from the path they are on because of a successful two games.
"Doesn't matter who we're playing," said Harbinson. "One of our strongest attributes is our team speed and our depth. We were able to use both last weekend."
If the Vees can continue to build heading into the final stretch leading into the playoffs, it could be scary in a good way for fans, to see what this group can do. One thing for sure, performances like they just put on will have Penticton and the crowds in the South Okanagan Events Centre buzzing.
During the Vees' offensive struggles, captain Brad McClure said they knew they were fighting things a bit offensively and they talked about that. What was important to them was maintaining focus on the process.
"Not thinking too much about the goals and they will come and that's exactly what we did this weekend," said McClure, adding that it was noticeable the way they moved the puck better and went to the dirty areas.
Vees notes: Max Coatta participated in full practice on Monday but is still listed as day-to-day.
The School Spirit Challenge raised more than $6,100 for the Penticton Soupateria and the South Okanagan Boys and Girls Club on Jan. 18 with 3,375 in attendance. CIBC Wood Gundy generously donated $3,375 to the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, a dollar for every person in attendance. The Vees donated $1,532, the BC Hockey Hall of Fame donated $1,200 from 50/50 proceeds to the Penticton Soupateria. Uplands Elementary School received $500 for highest attendance, while Parkway Elementary School was given $500 for winning the school spirit award.
Underwriters Insurance donated $1,000 as incentive for the winning schools' parent advisory council.

The Department of Defense says Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged leader, and four other men could be sentenced to death.
The Office of Military Commissions has referred charges of terrorism, hijacking aircraft, conspiracy, murder in violation of the law of war, attacking civilians, attacking civilian objects, intentionally causing serious bodily injury, and destruction of property in violation of the law of war.
President Obama tried last year to prosecute the militants in a trial before a civilian jury in New York City, but was blocked by Republican lawmakers who demanded the suspects be tried before a military court at Guantanamo Bay. The five men will now be prosecuted in a joint trial and will hear their charges read out in military court within the next 30 days.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was hunted down in Pakistan and arrested by the CIA and FBI in 2003 when an infamous photo from his arrest was splashed across the media. Since 2006, he has been detained at Guantanamo Bay. CIA documents confirm he was waterboarded 183 times.
The BBC reports US prosecutors allege he was involved with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 2002 nightclub bombing in Bali, Indonesia.
Mohammed is also said to be involved with the video-taped murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded in 2002 after going to Pakistan to retrace the steps of "shoe bomber" Richard Reid — a failed 2001 attempt to blow up American Airlines Flight 63 with a shoe bomb. Mohammed is alleged to have been involved in that as well.
The BBC also reports the Pentagon previously said Mohammed admitted he was responsible "from A to Z" for the 9/11 attacks. He has said that he intended to plead guilty and would welcome martyrdom.
The case of "United States v. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi" is a beacon of justice for the 2,976 people killed on 9/11.

L'autorité administrative dans l'Union européenne
AbstractThe notion of 'Administrative Authority' has several dimensions in EU law. From a functional perspective, administrative authority may be exercised according to three patterns: indirect administration by member states' governmental institutions - the typical Community pattern - direct administration by the EU institutions or co-administration which implies some coordination between both types of institutions. In an organic perspective, it can be allocated to the European Commission, EC executive agencies, EC regulatory agencies, and member state or sub-state governmental agencies. A number of legal principles apply to the exercise of EU administrative authority, e.g. the principles of good administration, or representative and participative democracy, of administrative cooperation as well as general principles of European administrative law - for instance proportionality, legitimate expectations etc. In the perspective of accountability, judicial review by EC and national courts is prominent, but comes only after reciprocal monitoring of EU and national institutions, parliamentary control, and the prominent role of the European Ombudsman.

Steven Burke, the reigning Olympic gold medalist in the Men's Team Pursuit, will be supporting athletics legend Jonathan Edwards in preparation for the 2014 Marie Curie Cancer Care Etape Pennines event, which takes place in Teesdale this summer.
Burke will offer hints and tips to triple jump world record holder Edwards, as they take on a 45-mile training bike ride in preparation for the Etape event.
As an amateur cyclist, Burke spent many years cycling around the Pennines and expressed his excitement at revisiting his old stomping ground.
He said: "I was born in this part of the world and these are the roads I have cycled on all my life so I know how tough they can be on the legs.
"This event has drummed up quite a reputation amongst cyclists and I have heard the route is pretty demanding so I am looking forward to riding part of it alongside a legend in the world of sport like Jonathan."
Edwards said he was "relishing the challenge" of the Etape event and added: "It is definitely a big event to take on, it's tough and the climbs are gruelling but I've seen comments from last year's finishers and the sense of accomplishment seems unbelievable."
The training bike ride will take place at the end of April.
For information on the 60-mile Etape Pennines event, which takes place on Sunday, July 20, visit etapepennines.co.uk.

Prison Ministry
I have literally given hundreds of these bookmarks out at the local county prison. I do a weekly Bible study with the women and they tell me how much easier it is to find books in the Bible with this bookmark. Please don't ever stop offering them.

I really like this bookmark and so did the people I gave them to. I personally use mines in my bible and I also use 1 in my book that I am reading. Some one even ask me about it and I gave them your website. So hopefully they will use your company for this item and much more.

Love it!
Beautiful, sturdy, colorful bookmark which also serves as a memory tool to learn the Books of the Bible which I have trouble with. For this reason, I bought a number of them and use them in all the books I refer to at any given time. Will continue to do this until I know the Bible Books by heart!

Rev Cindy
I give these out to new Christians to help them locate the books of the bible. They are a nice size, and plastic coated. They are large enough to fit our church name and web sight on the back with a peel and stick label.
Bible Book Markers
When I purchaced the flashlights I also purchaced these Bible Book Markers. I gave a flashlight and a book marker to each man in church. They were all blessed. Now I will need something for Mothers Day next year. They are a SUPER Bible Book Marker with all the books in the bible organized. I would highly recomend them to any other church or religious group or just a family.

not thrilled
Although I like being colorful this bookmark gave my eyes confusion. But all the books are listed. I just found it hard to find them quickly.

We purchased the Bible Bookmarks for our children and youth ministry. But since purchasing them, weve decided to not only use them for our children and youth ministry, but will also make them available to our adults also.
- Gary Shockley, KY
Perfect for 3rd grade
We use the bookmarks and have for years for our third grade Sunday School class as this class takes a trip through the Bible every year

Woodside meeting on country club renovation

When was the last time the Planning Commission denied a "private club" in the area ANYTHING?
Please, that is not Republican thinking in these parts; esp.where Woodside memberships were involved?
When my father was alive and playing and a member of the board at the Olympic Club, things like this would not even land on his desks. If it had to be done it was done with expediency like most things in San Mateo's Bldg. and planning commissions.
Some things never change. Like seeing people wanting to be invited to the Grove.

New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (knee) is still an injury concern. At the team's press conference Monday, coach Tom Coughlin was unusually glib about his wideout's injury status. When asked how concerned he was about Nicks' knee, Coughlin simply stated "how much concern can I show you?", indicating that Nicks is not any closer to returning. He missed the last two games with a lingering knee injury.
Fantasy Impact: We'll be tracking Nicks' status throughout the week once practices start up, but it sounds like fantasy owners should be expecting him to be sitting out a third straight game. If Nicks can't go against the Cleveland Browns next week, expect Domenik Hixon to start in his place again, with Ramses Barden getting more snaps in the slot.

its very disappointing when a young person does this kind of stuff. I don't know what motivated him or forced him to steal money. I hope he gets rehabilitated instead of punished like a criminal.

Why Design ≠ Experience?
Ultimately it is in the experience that these products fail, but by presenting
both the design and the experience I hope to illuminate the difference and help you completely appreciate the lessons learned.
Even though I've been working in the "experience design" industry for years, this design/experience dichotomy hasn't been easy for me to arrive at.
Because we so often use the word "experience" to describe the design, it takes some conceptual backflips to think about a person's experience apart from the product.

By now there's little debate about the first debate. In boxing terms, Mitt Romney won a unanimous decision. If nothing else, he would have won on points for the old virtue of carrying the fight. That means the fighter who is aggressive and going after a passive opponent, even if he doesn't land many punches, gets the decision.
Plenty of people have done the punch counts. Suffice to say that Romney was slinging leather while President Obama didn't seem to have his heart in it.
Heart matters. That's because this election will be decided by the swing states -- and in those states, by those voters still on the bubble. And voters on the bubble tend to decide with both heart and head, or from the gut. Economic self-interest, upbringing, world views and their sense of the candidates as people make a complex calculation often resolved by intuition. The basic question becomes, "Who do I trust?"
Hard-nosed analysis will help establish that trust. Many questions remain unanswered about Romney's plans. And while the president has a record, there are questions about where he wants to lead us from here and what it's going to cost to get there. For all the numbers tossed about Wednesday night, there weren't many you could take to the bank.
But even solid numbers won't be enough. A presidential candidate has to look like he believes in them, is willing to fight for what they represent, for the good they will do in people's lives.
Fight is what was missing from Obama on the stage in Denver.
The president might take a cue from an unlikely corner -- Rep. Don Young. The lesson of 2008 I'm thinking of isn't the hope and change crusade that vaulted Obama to the White House. It's Don Young, at 75, strolling like a Jet out of "West Side Story" into Sean Parnell's press conference late in the GOP congressional primary race. The smart money said Young would lose, remember? He was under investigation, had a $1 million legal defense fund. He was an old-boy earmarker on the ropes.
He ate Parnell's lunch.
Like Young or not, you had to grant his gumption. He conceded nothing, hung the "zero" moniker on Parnell, promised he'd win and made good on the promise.
Romney has his eye on the president's lunch. He got a taste on Wednesday.
-- Frank Gerjevic

While pro-Republican partisans seem to be exiting the fight, former members of the media, and key Democratic strategists connecting to Clinton and Obama, are leading the fight.
While trying to catch my last wave or last fish of the summer, I begin a mental routine that energizes me and prepares me for the next ten months of teaching and learning. Part of this routine involves a series of affirmations I use to update and re-familiarize myself with my teaching philosophies and techniques.
As millions of teachers and students head back to school in the upcoming weeks, Dr. Williams wanted to inspire public educators, despite the many hardships they face, to find a way to become more involved, on the activist front, in this war on public education.
Storytelling, to a degree, can provide instruction closer to a real-life experience than a didactic lecture full of statistics. Here are some simple suggestions on how to capitalize on storytelling as you teach or lead students.
Some teachers in states that have adopted the Common Core are expressing apprehension about their readiness to teach to the new standards, dismay at t...
The Common Core lost teacher support because so many teachers spent the year face to face with it, looking it right in its beady little eyes. They don't love it because they know it so well.
While it is a simple gesture, I encourage you to thank a former teacher. Send a quick email or better yet a handwritten note. Tell them where you are and how they shaped your life. I think that simple message can go a long way.
The low status of teachers means that we are missing out on thousands of the most talented graduates who won't join a profession that does not command respect.
If you do not feel safe as a teacher -- not just physical safety, as that's a whole different blog entry -- in terms of having an administration who believes in your strengths and abilities and is willing to invest in you, then your job is a lot harder and less effective.

As our children will soon begin migrating back to school, some of us will be doing so with seniors living in our homes. No doubt thrilling, there is much to prepare for by seniors as they commence towards commencement and onto the rest of their lives.
Is this because of a shortage of qualified teachers, or are qualified teachers being left on the sidelines as schools hire unqualified teachers?
We may remember him as Mork, Mrs. Doubtfire, Peter Pan, or the Genie, but for me, Robin Williams will always be Mr. Keating.
As Albert Camus wrote, "Good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding." Whatever Ms. Brown's intentions are, they lack an understanding of both the current landscape of teaching in high-needs schools and of educational research. It's time to get some facts straight.

The 'war on women' campaign that isn't going to happenPosted: August 18, 2014 Filed under: Congress, Politics, Women | Tags: Curtis, Daines, Keenan, Montana, NARAL, Senate, women Leave a comment
Republicans are having a fine old time introducing the nation to Amanda Curtis, described by the Associated Press as the "little-known" Montana state legislator chosen by Democrats to run for the Senate. The state GOP's "Meet Amanda Curtis" video makes her seem quite weird indeed — a pierced nostril, a Frankenstein earring and talk of socialism, anarchy, guns, debt and Christianity.
Having forced Sen. John Walsh out of the race after a plagiarism scandal, Democrats were admittedly in a crunch. And the first-term Curtis, 34, may or may not be as "unusual" as she seems in the video — there's no context by which to judge. Still, Rep. Steve Daines, the GOP nominee, would have to work incredibly hard to lose this race.
Democrats might have salvaged something from the Montana Senate contest if Nancy Keenan had agreed to run. Keenan is a former special education teacher who later was elected to the state legislature and won three statewide elections as superintendent of public instruction. She also ran for the U.S. House and lost, and worked for the liberal People For the American Way.
All those are great qualifications, but the most important one is this: From 2004 to 2012, Keenan headed the former National Abortion Rights Action League, now called NARAL Pro-Choice America.
As a Democrat facing Daines, Keenan would have faced steep odds. But she would have brought high national visibility to the Democrats' argument that Republican policies on reproductive health amount to a "war on women." Given her years at NARAL, there would have been no way for her to minimize abortion, contraception and related issues; the only real alternative would have been to lean in and go for it.
With her special ed background of teaching disabled kids, Keenan was an interesting choice for NARAL and could have been a compelling candidate for Democrats. She likely would have been a polarizing one as well. But regardless of what public opinion polls showed, she would have been viewed as a serious contender. That's a bar Curtis looks unlikely to clear.
Cleveland wins the 2016 Republican convention. Who will that help?Posted: July 8, 2014 Filed under: Politics, White House | Tags: 2016, Cleveland, convention, Dallas, Olympics, Republican National committee, Republican Party, Super Bowl Leave a comment
It's official: The 2016 Republican convention will be held in Cleveland. The decision means a city struggling to revive its economy and erase the image of a polluted river on fire will have the chance to show a new face to the nation.
Of course, it also has a chance to fall on its face. But that didn't stop Cleveland from pitching very hard to get the convention. In fact it was the only city that was a finalist for both the Republican and Democratic conventions. The Democratic list has now been winnowed to Birmingham, Columbus, New York, Philadelphia and Phoenix.
The reasons for choosing a convention venue are not exalted. They range from the practical — Are there enough hotel rooms? Is the right date available? Is the price right? – to the baldly political. Is the city in a swing state? That didn't work in 2012 for the Democrats in Charlotte or the Republicans in Tampa, but it's still a consideration. Are the state's political personalities appealing or off-putting to centrist Americans? That was a particular factor this year, given that the other finalist for the GOP convention was Dallas.
"Dallas is a great city, but with it comes a web of political drama because of large local personalities like Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Ron Paul" and George W. Bush, Republican consultant Kyle Downey told Roll Call. He said that would "disadvantage" the GOP nominee.
Ohio's leading politicians, by contrast, are Gov. John Kasich, who expanded Medicaid; Sen. Rob Portman, whose son is gay and who supports gay marriage; and House Speaker John Boehner, who has made no secret of his desire to pass immigration reforms. That makes them all moderates by the standards of today's GOP.
That's a plus for the national party, given the millions of non-ideological voters who watch conventions. But what does Cleveland get out of it?
Cities have been competing forever to host headline events like conventions, Super Bowls and Olympics, even when gridlock, chaos, corruption, cost overruns, terrorist attacks and weather problems are definite possibilities and would make international headlines. Consider the conditions ridiculed by journalists and athletes when they showed up in Sochi for this year's Winter Olympics, and the spring-like temperatures that produced slush and forced officials to break out an emergency supply of stored snow.
Dan Shaughnessy, a Boston Globe columnist, argues that Boston should say no to the 2024 Olympics. "We do not need the Summer Olympics," he writes. "We already are a world-class city. What we need is bridge repair, housing, better public schools, an improved MBTA, and programs for the disenfranchised. We need better ways to get in and out of our city. We do not need an event that would strangle us financially and logistically for decades."
It's true that a city isn't going to necessarily make money or bring in droves of visitors from an admiring America for years to come by staging a massive event. But the most important potential gains should be measured a different way. Pulling off a huge success spawns civic pride and confidence in political leaders, both of which can lead to more success.
This is true even if you are already a world-class city – witness New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's bid to hold the Democratic convention in Brooklyn. It's even more true for a city that aspires to be world-class.
Frank Bruni captured the impact of aiming high in a New York Times column last weekend about Joe Riley. The mayor of Charleston, S.C., has been elected 10 times and is closing in on 40 years in office.
Riley's success, as Bruni shows, has a lot to do with "the vision thing." He had a clear idea of how others viewed the city and how to change that, whether it was to hire an African-American police chief in 1982 or to become the host of the Spoleto USA arts festival. The U.S. counterpart of the original Italian Spoleto Festival, it began in 1977 and is now an established part of the international music scene.
Riley told Bruni he pushed hard for Spoleto because "it forced the city to accept the responsibility of putting on something world-class." It required Charleston to commit to excellence, a commitment that has endured and lifted the city.
So go for it, Cleveland.
The Enemy of Income Equality is UsPosted: June 30, 2014 Filed under: Politics, Safety Net | Tags: direct cash, income inequality, inequality, poverty Leave a comment
Two valuable additions to the inequality debate in The New York Times.
Today's entry is "Let Them Eat Cash," a well documented argument that the best way to help the poor may be to simply give them money. "You might worry handouts encourage idleness. But in most experiments, people worked more after they received grants," author Christopher Blattman, a Columbia University professor, writes of experiments all over the world.
Research in the United States points to similar positive results. Direct cash had a major impact in a Cherokee tribe, for instance, after a casino opened and members began receiving annual payments.
This idea is starting to receive attention from some Republican presidential prospects. It should attract interest across the political spectrum — from both liberals who want to improve results and conservatives who want to streamline anti-poverty programs.
The Times concluded its Great Divide series Sunday with a Joseph Stiglitz piece headlined "Inequality Is Not Inevitable." "We have located the underlying source of the problem: political inequities and policies that have commodified and corrupted our democracy," he writes. Different choices would produce different laws and results. But for that to happen, first we'll need different politics.
How to run for president as a capitalist, Hillary Clinton editionPosted: June 29, 2014 Filed under: Politics, White House | Tags: 2016, Hard Choices, hillary clinton, presidential campaign, rich, wealth, White House Leave a comment
Back when Mitt Romney was having so much trouble dealing with his wealth on the presidential campaign trail, I wrote a piece for The Atlantic called "5 Rules for Being a Successful Capitalist in Politics." In short: Get rich the old-fashioned way, imagine your tax returns on homepages the world over, keep your money in your own country, give away a lot of it, and make clean breaks with previous jobs (the better to escape responsibility for what happens after you're "gone").
That's not bad advice. But given Hillary Clinton's difficulties as she promotes "Hard Choices" and ponders a 2016 presidential run, it's time for a personalized update:
1. Accept where you are in your life right now. If you're rich, don't try to remind people of how poor you felt years ago — including while you were living in the White House. Seriously. Even compared with other presidents and first ladies, you were well positioned. Ulysses S. Grant was short of money and dying of cancer when he wrote his memoirs, hoping the two-volume set would support his wife after he was gone. He didn't have Amazon, social media, cable TV or an advance. And since he died five days after he finished, he wasn't available for promotion purposes. Luckily for him, his publisher was Mark Twain, who knew how to market a book. Mrs. Grant ended up with royalties equivalent to about $10 million today.
2. Eliminate the phrase "hard work" from all discussions of your income. It may sound better to say you worked hard than to say you inherited all your money from your mom and dad, but it comes off as a slight to others. Lots of people work hard — harder than you in some cases, and at far less pleasant tasks. Some of them don't even make a living wage. Also, the history of the phrase "hard work" in politics suggests it's risky. George W. Bush used it as a verbal crutch in a 2004 debate, repeating it three and four times in a paragraph or even a sentence. That led to a hilarious Saturday Night Live parody. Which is something you definitely don't want.
3. Talk about the responsibility to give back, and not just through service or "hard work." In other words, talk about money. Should income tax rates for rich people be higher? What about rates on dividends, capital gains and inheritances? Should market transactions be taxed? Should corporate welfare be axed? If you support any of these and would pay higher taxes as a result, explain that — and why you wouldn't mind.
4. Try to keep the spotlight off your children, especially if they live in $10.5 million apartments and earn $600,000 a year for a part-time position that, to put it gently, isn't a natural fit. The impending grandchild will give everyone a golden glow for a while, but how long can that last?
5. Don't amass piles of money by means that don't fit with your image or political goals. And if you're already doing that, then stop, especially if you don't need more money. In the case of Clinton, who is raking in $200,000-plus per speech, Ruth Marcus put it perfectly in The Washington Post: "This behavior borders on compulsion, like refugees who once were starved and now hoard food." What is the point of provoking someone like Jon Ralston, the reigning pundit in swing-state Nevada, by making a foundation associated with the University of Nevada-Las Vegas pay $225,000 for a Clinton speech?
Of course, this will all be moot if Clinton decides not to run in 2016. It would be, as they say, hard work. The book tour is giving her a preview of just how hard.
The next crusade for Bill de BlasioPosted: April 6, 2014 Filed under: Education, Safety Net | Tags: bill clinton, Bill de Blasio, early childhood, hillary clinton, Obama, pre-K, prekindergarten, zero-to-three Leave a comment
Now that he's gotten a pile of money from the state to meet his campaign promise of universal prekindergarten in New York City, Ginia Bellafante proposes that Mayor Bill de Blasio turn his attention to babies and toddlers. It's a great idea, because research shows that pre-K is sometimes too late to compensate for problems that start at birth and even earlier.
The "zero-to-three" movement has no shortage of prominent champions, from Bill Clinton's 1997 White House conference on brain development to Hillary Clinton's current involvement in a "too small to fail" initiative; from Rob Reiner's successful 1998 drive to raise the California tobacco tax and use the proceeds for prenatal and early childhood services, to a Bush administration conference in 2001, to a home visiting program created in the Affordable Care Act signed by President Obama. As governor of Vermont, Howard Dean instituted a highly effective "Success by Six" program involving home visits to new parents, and proposed a national version during his 2004 presidential campaign. Parentsin the state received health care, child care, job training and parenting classes tailored to their needs.
Child abuse in Vermont was cut nearly in half after Dean's program started. Research on parenting and school readiness suggests the possibility of equally dramatic results in that area. Children whose parents don't read, talk and interact with them from birth are at an often insurmountable disadvantage by the time they reach prekindergarten.
Bellafante, a columnist for The New York Times, underscores her plea to de Blasio with an anecdote about a pregnant teen who says she doesn't need books for her baby because "I already have one."
It's true that if de Blasio takes up the challenge of advocating for the youngest of children, he'd be one of many public figures to do so. But he's in the spotlight right now as a result of his campaign promises to refocus the city from quality-of-life issues to the needs of residents who are struggling. If he follows up his pre-K success with a commitment to infants and toddlers, he is likely to generate the types of eye-popping statistics that assure attention will be paid.
Is the minimum wage drive a passing fancy for Obama and his party?Posted: April 2, 2014 Filed under: Congress, Safety Net, Unemployment, White House | Tags: jobs, minimum wage, Obama Leave a comment
The pop-culture takeaway from President Obama's campaign-like pep rally in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan is undoubtedly his joke that if Republican policies were on the menu at a deli, they'd be listed as a "stinkburger" or a "meanwich."
But there was more significance in his fired-up, unbridled performance, which reflected the energy behind the Democrats' push for an increase in the minimum wage. It's an issue that unites not just the party but the country, with roughly two-thirds in polls saying they support a three-year rise from the current $7.25 to $10.10 per hour.
Hiking the minimum wage is a populist issue and a women's issue (nearly two-thirds of those earning minimum wage are women). And though a recent Congressional Budget Office report suggested the boost could cost up to half a million jobs, other indicators are more positive. The best real-life evidence comes from Washington state, where voters approved a minimum wage hike in 1998 and cost-of-living increases after that. The state's current minimum wage of $9.32 is the highest in the country, yet job growth there has outpaced the national rate, poverty has trailed it, and eateries there have done fine. Other researchers have found no economic disparities between counties that sit side by side in states that have and haven't raised their minimum wage.
The Senate may vote as soon as next week on whether to raise the wage, and the 60 votes it needs to clear procedural obstacles are not a sure thing. The House is far less receptive. Even the most dedicated proponents of raising the wage are pessimistic. "It has often taken several years and sometimes two or more Congresses until it actually came about," says Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. "I suspect that more likely than not we'll have a similar situation this time."
That hasn't dampened the fervor of the White House. A search of the White House website shows that before Obama's trip to Ann Arbor on Wednesday, the subject had already come up 59 times since the beginning of the year, in reports, press briefings and presidential remarks, on conference calls and at donor dinners, in a proclamation about Cesar Chavez Day and a tribute to retiring California congressman George Miller. Obama even called for a minimum-wage increase in a column in the Dallas Morning News. In fact, five of the administration's last seven weekly video addresses were devoted to the minimum wage.
The effectiveness of repetition as a communications technique has been documented in many psychological studies. The more something is said, the more people believe it is true, especially if they aren't paying close attention. It's a perfect tool for politics, and the titles of its videos alone show the White House has taken the lesson to heart:
Feb. 15: Calling on Congress to Raise the Minimum Wage
Feb. 22: Time to Lift the Minimum Wage and Give America a Raise
March 8: Time for Congress to Raise the Minimum Wage for the American People
March 22: Rewarding Women's Hard Work and Increasing the Minimum Wage
March 29: Raise The Minimum Wage – It's The Right Thing To Do For Hardworking Americans
There's no question about the political value of this message. Nothing says "I'm on your side" like standing up for low-wage workers. It's a gritty, symbolic and popular issue, and 50 percent in a new Quinnipiac poll say they'd be more likely to vote for a candidate who supports raising the minimum wage, compared with 25 percent who would be less likely. And there's no question that the spotlight shined by Obama and others may give some momentum to local and state initiatives to raise the minimum wage.
What is unclear is whether Obama and his party will have the time, energy, resources and focus to continue this push after the most likely outcome, the death of the minimum-wage hike on Capitol Hill. There are still seven months to the election. Four years of Republican messaging on the evils of Obamacare are set to continue through those seven months. Democrats now have an issue and a chance to prove that they, too, have learned the value of repetition.
Will Americans exploit Obamacare or use it to improve their lives? And does it matter?Posted: February 6, 2014 Filed under: Safety Net, Unemployment | Tags: Affordable Care Act, Congressional Budget Office, Family Research Council, jobs, Obamacare Leave a comment
The new Congressional Budget Office report on the Affordable Care Act is highlighting one of the fundamental divides between many liberals and conservatives: their views of human nature at opposite ends of the sentimental-to-cynical spectrum, and their corresponding views of how expansive we should make our safety net.
The report projects a drop in the number of hours worked as a result of Obamacare, and said the reduced hours would be the equivalent of about 2.5 million full-time jobs by 2024. Almost all of the drop would be due to voluntary departures from the labor force. The conservative Family Research Council headlined its analysis "Nice work if you can quit it." The premise seems to be that Americans are freeloaders who will jump at the chance to quit their jobs in order to get free or heavily subsidized health insurance.
The liberal premise is that the "quitters" would be parents who want to be there for their kids, older people with health problems who'd like to retire before they are eligible for Medicare, people working two or more part-time jobs, and dreamers yearning to switch jobs or start a business.
Both sides are to some extent overstating their cases in cartoon-like caricatures. In the case of the liberals, not everyone will have noble or even good reasons for leaving a job or cutting back hours. Moreover, to the detriment of the economy and the federal budget, not every job-switcher or entrepreneur will be a success. As for conservatives, it's hard to imagine many people giving up wages, salaries or careers because they can now get insurance without them. Also, whatever happened to popular conservative views that "job lock" is bad, while entrepreneurs and stay-at-home moms (or even dads) are good?
It's telling that White House economic adviser Jason Furman cited the conservative Heritage Foundation in a response to the CBO report on the White House blog. The 2008 report from Heritage largely praised what it called GOP nominee John McCain's "ambitious plan" to separate health insurance from employment, thereby breaking job lock and giving more power to families. "Individuals who wish to take a better job, change careers, or leave the workforce to raise a family or to retire early" would no longer risk losing insurance, Heritage wrote; they'd be able to buy a policy and "offset its cost with the McCain health care tax credit."
The debate played out on my Twitter account this way:
#Obamacare & #CBO: Some people see a bunch of slackers leaving the workforce and their salaries so they can get free health insurance. 1/2—
Jill Lawrence (@JillDLawrence) February 05, 2014
#Obamacare & #CBO: Others see people who are older, disabled or young parents leaving workforce, grateful they can still get insurance. 2/2—
Jill Lawrence (@JillDLawrence) February 05, 2014

Jill Lawrence (@JillDLawrence) February 06, 2014
Let's stipulate there will be churn in the job market, some people will decide work's not worth it, other people will land their jobs, and we can't tell whether the Obamacare boom in health jobs will be outweighed by a private-sector bust. Does any of it matter? Not if you believe that all Americans should have health insurance. What does matter is that the Affordable Care Act work as well as possible, for individuals, businesses and the overall economy. In an ideal legislative world, the Pollyanna glasses would be on the shelf and so would the dark assumptions that people will behave badly, and the law would be tweaked as legitimate problems arise.

Hello. I am a professional photographer in Phoenix. I obtained my degree in photography in 2001 where I learned film and digital photography. I love teaching people how to use their cameras. All cameras, whether they are Nikon, canon, or anything else, work in pretty much the same way. Once you have an understanding of how one works, you should be able to pick up any camera and make great pictures. My goal would be to teach you how to understand the basics of how a camera works so that you can understand and use your camera in manual mode in any situation and get the results you want. If you are shooting digital (which most people are) then you will also need a basics lesson in a photo editing software such as Photoshop so that you can make your images look their best and organize your files for easy access. I am able to provide training in this area as well. Once you get into the advanced stages, if you wish to continue learning, I am able to teach you studio lighting and posing as well.
I am a professional photographer with over 11 years' experience. I obtained my degree in photography in 2001.
