As recently as 1979, legal academics Virginia Nordin and Harry Edwards were able to say that "historically American courts have adhered fairly consistently to the doctrine of academic abstention in order to avoid excessive judicial oversight of academic institutions" (Higher Education and the Law). Academic abstention is the doctrine (never formally promulgated) that courts should defer to colleges and universities when it comes to matters like promotions, curricula, admission policies, grading, tenure, etc. The reasoning is that courts lack the competence to monitor academic behavior; they should get out of the way and let the professionals do the job. "Courts are particularly ill-equipped," Chief Justice Rehnquist declared in 1978, "to evaluate academic performance." (Board of Curators of the University of Missouri v. Horowitz) Read more…

To Boycott or Not to Boycott, That Is the QuestionBy Stanley Fish
In response to last week's column on neoliberalism and higher education, Sobriquet writes that neoliberalism, like neoconservatism, is "an opaque catchphrase coined by wannabe pundits" that doesn't "refer to anything." That judgment finds support in an essay soon to be published in Studies in Comparative International Development. The authors, Taylor Boas and Jordan Gans-Morse (political science researchers at UC Berkeley), report that while in recent years "neoliberalism has become an academic catchphrase," its use "remains a puzzle" because it is "left undefined . . even by those who employ it as a key independent or dependent variable."
This corresponds to what I found in my reading. It wasn't that I had been unaware of the term; it was just that it never seemed to be doing much work; its force, as a Boas and Gans-Morse remark, is often more rhetorical (take that, you accursed neoliberal) than analytic. I didn't feel I had to have a firm grasp on it in order to continue reading; that is, until I found the word being applied to me. Read more…
Neoliberalism and Higher EducationBy Stanley Fish
I've been asking colleagues in several departments and disciplines whether they've ever come across the term "neoliberalism" and whether they know what it means. A small number acknowledged having heard the word; a very much smaller number ventured a tentative definition.
I was asking because I had been reading essays in which the adjective neoliberal was routinely invoked as an accusation, and I had only a sketchy notion of what was intended by it. When one of these essays cited my recent writings on higher education as a prime example of "neoliberal ideology" (Sophia McClennen, "Neoliberalism and the Crisis of Intellectual Engagement," in Works and Days, volumes 26-27, 2008-2009), I thought I'd better learn more.

Are Academics Different?By Stanley Fish
Last week's column about Denis Rancourt, a University of Ottawa professor who is facing dismissal for awarding A-plus grades to his students on the first day of class and for turning the physics course he had been assigned into a course on political activism, drew mostly negative comments.
The criticism most often voiced was that by holding Rancourt up as an example of the excesses indulged in by those who invoke academic freedom, I had committed the fallacy of generalizing from a single outlier case to the behavior of an entire class "Is the Rancourt case one of a thousand such findings this year, or it the most outlandish in 10 years?" (Jack, No. 88).
It may be outlandish because it is so theatrical, but one could argue, as one reader seemed to, that Rancourt carries out to its logical extreme a form of behavior many display in less dramatic ways. "How about a look at the class of professors who … duck their responsibilities ranging from the simple courtesies (arrival on time, prepared for meetings … ) to the essentials ("lack of rigor in teaching and standards … )" (h.c.. ecco, No. 142). What links Rancourt and these milder versions of academic acting-out is a conviction that academic freedom confers on professors the right to order (or disorder) the workplace in any way they see fit, irrespective of the requirements of the university that employs them.

The Two Languages of Academic FreedomBy Stanley Fish
Last week we came to the section on academic freedom in my course on the law of higher education and I posed this hypothetical to the students: Suppose you were a member of a law firm or a mid-level executive in a corporation and you skipped meetings or came late, blew off assignments or altered them according to your whims, abused your colleagues and were habitually rude to clients. What would happen to you?
The chorus of answers cascaded immediately: "I'd be fired." Now, I continued, imagine the same scenario and the same set of behaviors, but this time you're a tenured professor in a North American university. What then?
I answered this one myself: "You'd be celebrated as a brave nonconformist, a tilter against orthodoxies, a pedagogical visionary and an exemplar of academic freedom."

An Authoritative Word on Academic FreedomBy Stanley Fish
More than a few times in these columns I have tried to deflate the balloon of academic freedom by arguing that it was not an absolute right or a hallowed principle, but a practical and limited response to the particular nature of intellectual work.
Now, in a new book — "For the Common Good: Principles of American Academic Freedom," to be published in 2009 — two distinguished scholars of constitutional law, Matthew W. Finkin and Robert C. Post, study the history and present shape of the concept and come to conclusions that support and deepen what I have been saying in these columns and elsewhere.
The authors' most important conclusion is presented early on in their introduction: "We argue that the concept of Academic freedom . . . differs fundamentally from the individual First Amendment rights that present themselves so vividly to the contemporary mind." The difference is that while free speech rights are grounded in the constitution, academic freedom rights are "grounded . . . in a substantive account of the purposes of higher education and in the special conditions necessary for faculty to fulfill those purposes."

George W. Bush and Melville's Ahab: Discuss!By Stanley Fish
At the end of my previous column on Evan Maloney's documentary "Indoctrinate U," I invoked the American Association of University Professors' 1915 statement on academic freedom. In the years since 1915, the AAUP has revisited the topic and issued new or qualifying definitions like this one, from the statement of 1940:
Teachers are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject.
The problem is that it is not clear what is meant either by "relation" or "controversial." What is needed are some principles and examples that would be a resource for those who are attempting to navigate these waters, and this is precisely what a new draft report by a subcommittee of the association promises to provide.
But the report gets off to a bad start when its authors allow the charge by conservative critics that left-wing instructors indoctrinate rather than teach to dictate their strategy. By taking it as their task to respond to what they consider a partisan attack, they set themselves up to perform as partisans in return, and that is exactly what they end up doing.
Not right away, however. They begin well by rejecting the idea that instructors must refrain from teaching, as fact, a point of view that others in the field do not accept. "It is not indoctrination," they explain, "when, as a result of their research and study, instructors assert to their students that in their view particular propositions are true, even if these propositions are controversial within a discipline." That's a roundabout way of saying, if you think it's true and you can back up your judgment with reasons and evidence, teach it as true and don't worry about any obligation to include contrary views just because they're out there.
The name usually given to that obligation is "balance," the idea "that an instructor should impartially engage all potentially relevant points of view." But as the subcommittee points out, in every discipline there will be viewpoints "so intrinsically intertwined with the current state" of the field that it would be "unprofessional to slight or ignore them." And conversely, there will be view points so marginal to the field that it would be unprofessional to accord them equal time.
The key word here is "unprofessional," for it signals that the subcommittee is refusing the requirement of balance (which is a statistical not a normative standard) in favor of the requirement that instructors be alert to the judgments and evaluations of their peers. The enterprise, the subcommittee is saying, belongs to those who labor within it, and choices as to what approaches should be covered in a course should be made by informed practitioners and not by an abstraction. The obligation is not to present everything, but to "present all aspects of a subject matter that professional standards would require to be presented."
So far, so good. But the report takes a wrong turn when the contextual criterion of "professional standards" is replaced by the abstract criterion of "connectedness" (the left's version of "balance"). In response to the Students for Academic Freedom's insistence that professors "should not be making statements … about George Bush if the class is not on contemporary American presidents," the subcommittee offers this grand, and empty, pronouncement: "[A]ll knowledge can be connected to all other knowledge." But if the test for bringing a piece of "knowledge" into the classroom is the possibility of connecting it to the course's ostensible subject, nothing will ever fail it, and the only limitation on the topics that can be introduced will be the instructor's ingenuity.
My point is made for me by the subcommittee when it proposes a hypothetical as a counterexample to the stricture laid down by the Students for Academic Freedom: "Might not a teacher of nineteenth-century American literature, taking up 'Moby Dick,' a subject having nothing to do with the presidency, ask the class to consider whether any parallel between President George W. Bush and Captain Ahab could be pursued for insight into Melville's novel?"
But with what motive would the teacher initiate such a discussion? If you look at commentaries on "Moby Dick," you will find Ahab characterized as inflexible, monomaniacal, demonic, rigid, obsessed and dictatorial. What you don't find are words like generous, kind, caring, cosmopolitan, tolerant, far-seeing and wise. Thus the invitation to consider parallels between Ahab and Bush is really an invitation to introduce into the classroom (and by the back door) the negative views of George Bush held by many academics.
If the intention were, as claimed, to produce insight into Melville's character, there are plenty of candidates in literature for possible parallels – Milton's Satan, Marlowe's Faust, Byron's Cain, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Shakespeare's Iago, Jack London's Wolf Larsen, to name a few. Nor would it have been any better if an instructor had invited students to find parallels between George Bush and Aeneas, or Henry the Fifth, or Atticus Finch, for then the effect would have been to politicize teaching from the other (pro-Bush) direction.
By offering this example, the report's authors validate the very accusation they are trying to fend off, the accusation that the academy's leftward tilt spills over into the classroom. No longer writing for the American Association of University Professors, the subcommittee is instead writing for the American Association of University Professors Who Hate George Bush (admittedly a large group). Why do its members not see that? Because once again they reason from an abstract theoretical formulation to a conclusion about what instructors can properly do.
The theoretical formulation is borrowed from an association report of 1948: "[E]xperienced teachers realize that it is neither possible nor desirable to exclude rigidly all controversial subjects." That's right, but it doesn't follow from the impossibility of excluding controversial subjects (another too general truth) that those subjects can appropriately be the vehicles of indoctrination once they are brought in.
In fact, whether or not a subject matter is controversial is beside the point. Any subject – pornography, pedophilia, genocide, scatology – can be introduced into an academic discussion so long as the perspective from which it is analyzed is academic and not political. Like their counterparts on the right who complain endlessly about the presence of Karl Marx on many reading lists, the authors of the report fail to understand the all-important distinction between the political content of an issue and teaching that content politically. The first is inevitable and blameless; the second is a dereliction of professional duty.
Nor will the Bush-Ahab example be saved by invoking (as the subcommittee does) an instructor's freedom "to stimulate classroom discussion and thought." To be sure, stimulation is perfectly fine in a classroom, but not stimulation of any old kind. Taking off one's clothes or throwing things at students would surely produce stimulation, but no one would argue that it was academically appropriate to do so. And neither is it appropriate to encourage Bush-bashing in the guise of elaborating a "parallel." As for encouraging "critical thought by drawing analogies" (another of the subcommittee's justifications), the point is the same: it depends on what the analogies are and in what direction – academic or political – drawing them pushes students.
The report ends on a good note when it warns against the attempts of outside constituencies to monitor classroom performance: "We ought to learn from history that education cannot possibly thrive in an atmosphere of state-encouraged suspicion." Unfortunately at least one section of this report serves only to justify that suspicion.
The good news is that this it is only a draft and comments are welcome at the association's website. The association now has mine.
Churchill DownBy Tobin Harshaw
University of Colorado ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill, he of "little Eichmanns" fame, was fired yesterday by the university's Board of Regents "on the ground that he had committed academic misconduct by plagiarizing and falsifying parts of his scholarly research."
While the case will now go to the courts, the court of online opinion has already spoken. Churchill has his defenders, like Russell Shaw at Huffington Post:
Why is Ward Churchill's dismissal so infuriating to me? Two reasons. One, having been to and taught in college, I have used and borne witness to the phenomena of professors that make seemingly outlandish statements to spark debate. The debate can be class-wide, campus-wide, or society-wide, but statements can be an effective tool of the polemicist. Second, I am as close to a believer in academic freedom of speech as you can get. No matter how offensive, I believe it is a central role of academicians to raise the points they choose and then try to prove them. I personally don't see how Churchill's objectionable argumentation could ever be proved or validated, but that's why we have other academicians.
Mike Dunford, the Questionable Authority, feels that "as bad a message as firing Churchill sends — and it is a bad message — it needed to be done." His explanation:
There is no right to be believed. Trust — credibility — is a privilege that is hard to win and easy to lose … He needed to be fired because he shows absolutely no signs of understanding that he did anything wrong. Ward Churchill seems to believe that it is acceptable to manufacture facts, manufacture "outside" support for his arguments, and do or say anything else that advances the particular perspective that he advocates.
Another academic blogger, Janet D. Stemwedel of Adventures in Ethics and Science, agrees that Churchill's politics played a role in the Regents' action, but doesn't find that a convincing defense.
"The feds wanted to prosecute Al Capone for his gangland criminal activities but ended up nailing him for tax evasion," she notes. "The forces who were most vocal early on in calling for the firing of Ward Churchill went after him for his political views, but the basis for his firing is the academic misconduct. The motivation for the prosecution does not change the fact that the target was caught doing something wrong. If you don't want your political enemies to have firm basis to call for your firing, it helps not to have committed other firing offenses."
The last word, for now anyway, comes from the university's president, Hank Brown, writing at The Wall Street Journal:
His case is about far more than academic misconduct. It is about the accountability that public universities must demonstrate. Mr. Churchill's difficulties in facing up to his academic responsibilities are in many ways emblematic of higher education's trouble with accountability. Too often, colleges and universities tend to insulate themselves in ivy-covered buildings and have not been as diligent as necessary to ensure that the academic enterprise is conducted rigorously and honestly. This elitist attitude is simply outdated, and our university has made tenure reforms — precipitated by the Churchill case — that will ensure academic integrity.
Politics by Any Other NameBy Stanley Fish
Last week the undergraduate body at Princeton University voted to ratify a Student Bill of Rights, modeled on the Academic Bill of Rights written by David Horowitz. Mr. Horowitz is an influential and widely read conservative activist who has persuaded a number of state and national legislators to insert the language of his bill into proposed laws. (This is not a marginal effort; in Congress, it has the support of John Boehner of Ohio, the House majority leader.)
Several versions of the bill—including a separate but overlapping Student Bill of Rights—can be found on a Horowitz-sponsored Web site, studentsforacademicfreedom.org, but they all display the same strategy of alternating unexceptionable statements with statements that at first sound benign but are in fact troubling in their implications. Who could disagree with the Princeton document's insistence that "professors must never allow a student's affiliations or religious beliefs to negatively affect his/her academic performance" or with the assertion that "Teachers are entitled to freedom in teaching their subject as they see fit, but not to the point of political, ideological, religious or anti-religious indoctrination…"?
I certainly don't, which is why three of my own essays are featured on the Students for Academic Freedom Web site. I have problems, however, with the clause that concludes the second quotation: "or to the exclusion of other viewpoints." The repetition of "or," linking the three propositions, suggests that they are all in the same line of work, but they are not. The second clause—"not to the point of political, ideological, religious, or anti-religious indoctrination"—properly limits the instructor's freedom (which cannot include the freedom to proselytize). But the third clause takes that freedom away by requiring the instructor to give class time to viewpoints simply because they are out there.

Ubay Luzardo Fichajes.com with the Spanish defender who has triumphed in the Second Portuguese Ligue
I approached the canary center during the recently concluded season has become one of the most prominent defenders of the second class of Portuguese football thanks to his outstanding performance with Farente.
Ubay Luzardo has shown a sensational level in Ubay Luzardo Portugal has shown a sensational level in Portugal
The Spanish football can boast a sports health bombproof. This can attest both our club and the Spanish national team. Thus, while Real Madrid has won the last edition of the Champions League after beating Atletico Madrid, Sevilla has managed to add a new Europa League to their windows. Meanwhile, the national team builds a successful journey in which he missed 2 European Championships and World Cup.
However, all is not gold that glitters. The delicate situation in which there are some categories of football have resulted in increasingly more footballers born in Spain who decide to leave the country for both sporting and economic opportunities.
One of those who made this decision was Ubay Luzardo in 2009 (30 years), football player after finishing their connection with the Second Farense Portuguese Liga now finds freedom card under his arm, where equipment has become one of his defensive pillars and has even excelled facet offensive, scoring 5 goals.
A globetrotter
Whenever convenient, remarkable air and easy to get the ball out from the center of defense with both legs crossed canary different sets of Third Division University of Las Palmas B, Norma, Murcia B, Amposta Rapitenca or before Leap. His fate was in the Kitchee, where orders Gombau Josep Maria was part of the team that claimed a Community Shield (2010) and League (2011). Fichajes.com contact, the player recognizes that his motivation to leave our country answered that "I've always been curious and intend to try other leagues and when I suggested not hesitate to leave."
Following a successful tour Hong Kong did not hesitate to continue learning new countries like Australia (Melbourne Victory), England (Ebbsfleet United) or Sweden (Assyriska FF), after which came the opportunity in our neighboring country. Luzardo recognizes that this step has brought "especially experience and learn from other students' from the sporting point of view, while" Personally mature as a person to know new cultures, people and new countries by the distance would be difficult visit. "
When you talk about the factors that have led to the exodus of our players, the canary recognizes that "I think the main problem is economic as Spanish clubs do not give you that guarantee and also because they pay better." In addition, foreign clubs are increasingly attentive to the players of our country due largely to reflect the style of "FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team game tap, overflow, imbalance and quality."
After a stint in the Farense, it's time for a change. This happens after "not agree, but I am very grateful to SC Farense and all his fans for their support and expressions of affection." Among future plans recognizes that "I'm open to all markets, but if I value continuing in Portugal", although looking beyond the option of returning home is on the horizon: "Yes of course I miss Spain and hope to return to play in Spain. " Would we shall soon return?

How long does Economy Shipping take to arrive?
How long does Economy Shipping take to arrive?
It says on the shipping page, by going to Pricing> Shipping Information.
It depends where you're shipping to, but usually like 9-16 days or something is an approx average. But it possibly can come sooner I guess.
I strongly caution against shipping Economy or Slowest FedEx option (I don't recall if these were two different options). I chose the slow FedEx option and I regret it. The time it takes seems to depend on where the book is shipping from and where you are located. Good luck finding an address on this site. Had I known it was being shipped from the Northwest traveling to me in the Northeast, I wouldn't have selected that option.
I didn't need the book right away but assumed it was something more like a 4 or 5 day shipping time. I've used UPS ground, etc. for ordering online, and it never takes all that long. 9-16 days is kind of ridiculous.

Remember Me?
Unbelievable huge sound for such a little guy!
This little amp has it all. COSM amp modelling for Black Panel, Classic Stack, Brit combo, Rectifier (heavy as hell) as well as JC Clean, acoustic guitar sound, adjustable tuning fork button for when you don't have a tuner nearby (in A and Aflat), Flanger, Chorus, Delay, Tremolo, Reverb and Phaser. The effects are only somewhat modifiable but more than enough for a practice amp. The best thing about this amp, which instantly sold it for me, was the Rectifier sound. Biggest fattest sound from a little amp I've ever heard..... it'd make Dimebag smile from Heaven. Don't expect the quality of the sound to remain when you crank it up though.... it kinda gets abrasive, but turning it up is missing the point. It's a practice amp to have at home when your main amp lives in the Jamroom, as mine does. Seriously, this thing kicks so much bottom, I even turned down a generous offer for it from my Brother in law to purchase it. He ended up buying a Roland Mobile Cube himself, which is nearly the same but more compact to fit in suitcases. Soundwise though.... I prefer this one but by all means, try them both. They're both quality little amps. If mine were to die on me, I'd get another straight away. Nuff Said.
This thing is absolutely rock solid, I've had it for ages and taken it to many places. I can't see it breaking in the near future.... even the distant future.
Customer Support
Never had a problem with Roland products. They're quality.
Liked about it
1. Can use batteries as well as mains power..... METAL around the campfire anyone??
2. Did I mention the Rectifier in this thing?...... holy crap dude!!
3. Aux in plug..... meaning I can plug my iPod into it and jam with Steve Vai or anyone if I want to, which is pure win! It comes through crystal clear too, I can even use it as a little stereo for my iPod instead of carting around a whole other dock for it.
Didn't like
Don't crank it up like you wanna annoy the neighbors or something. This amp is not built for that. It's a tiny amp with a huge sound and it's very well loud enough for a bedroom practice session, just don't expect it to cut over the top of drums or anything and still sound good.
Also.... effects are fairly limited BUT serve a good enough purpose for such a small package. It does more than enough in that department to satisfy me.
Overall satisfaction:

Roland Micro cube
This amplifier has 5 COSM amp models and a acoustic simulator and A microphone model. I will Start with the First amp Model, It is titled "JC Clean" after the Roland JC-120 amplifier. It sounds okay enough for a clean channel, If you turn the volume up past half it will slowly start to distort. You can put an effects processor before it and it should not color the tone very much.
The next model Is called "Black Panel" and is somewhat modeled after a Fender twin reverb, It can have a hint of bite if you turn the gain up. Its good for clean hendrix songs like "Little wind"
Now we will enter the realm of overdrive with our next model: The "Brit combo" - This model can sweep from tones that can cover most of the "British invasion" tones, from going to a subtle overdrive with the gain set at 12 'o clock to A full on raunchy- but somehow creamy almost fuzz/distortion with the gain and tone knobs dimed. This model is supposed to be modeled after the VOX AC-30 (top boost engaged) amplifier, But It just not have the dynamics and sparkle of a real VOX, So no U2 tones sadly.
Next are at the model "Classic stack" Which is supposed to be like a 80s Marshall JCM800 Head. Well, This model does not greatly Impress me. It simply does not have enough treble and tends to get muddy, especially with lower output pickups. Not a high spot in this amp.
The next Model and last is The "R-fier": This is based upon the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. This model faces a similar Issue to the Classic stack but its a little better here. The think is though, It is a little exaggerated from the actual Rectifier and has more fuzz than gain in my opinion, Its hard to get and pick harmonics off of this model no matter what setting. Rhythm Is okay on this model but playing lead sounds very sour. I truly wish there was some middle ground between the Classic stack and R-fier that was good for soloing, such as a carvin legacy model, but you can not get that tone.
The last guitar tone is the Acoustic simulator. This makes it good when I'm in an outing or hanging out with my friends or at a camp or whatever and I don't/cant have an acoustic AND electric with me. Its simply okay. not the best acoustic sim, but it does the job fair enough.
The last channel is the "Mic" mode. It is not the most useful setting since If you want to keep the mic clean it will get louder then your own singing voice (unless you are justin beiber lol). But you CAN use this with a guitar if you crank the tone and gain all the way up. You can get a good fuzz tone like "foxey lady" or "satisfaction" but that is about it.
Now I will start with the effects, With the Micro cube, You have four effects shared by one knob.
The First effect is chorus, its sound Is okay for most practicing applications, but it is nothing special. The further clockwise you turn it the faster the effect will get.
Now we have Flanger: It is okay for the EVH/chuggin' metal veriety of sound. But it can sometimes be a little overbearing. The further clockwise you turn it the faster the effect will get.
The next effect is Phaser: This is an okay phaser, I do not use it very often, and it is not the most useful phaser, it too is slightly overbearing. The further clockwise you turn it the faster the effect will get.
The last effect is Tremolo: This is a good basic tremolo effect, the depth is fair enough for country or "boulevard or broken dreams ". The further clockwise you turn it the faster the effect will get.
The last set of effect is the Delay/Reverb knob, It operates in the same way the effect knob works.
The delay is okay and can be used in multiple ways even though it has only one know. As you turn the knob clockwise you go from a country slapback delay to a long 80s solo delay. Turning the knob varies both the delay time and length in an intelligent fashion.
the Reverb Is fine. It does the job, It sounds more like a plate reverb as to a Spring style reverb. this effect is average, not great, but not the worst. just okay. Again, as you turn the knob clockwise the level of the reverb will become stronger, and there is more then plenty on tab for a Gilmour solo!
This amp also has A 1/4" out and A 1/4" and 1/8" auxiliary in - Which makes this useful for mainly as a practice amp.
To be quite honest, I have put this amplifier through he11. It has been dropped on concrete and asphalt SEVERAL times. Been rained on, kicked, thrown and all manner of nasty things. and it has held up with hardly a scratch. so bring it to gig without a backup? yeah! but I'd bring batteries, and it would need to be mic'd at a gig as it is only 2 watts. but its okay for jamming and practice sessions with the band.
I wish it could be compatible with different power supplies, as mine got lost.
The strap is an issue (and contributing factor to why I have dropped it so much. I have had this amp since June '09, and the only that has worn out is the strap. But I wish the strap was anchored to the body.
The Battery life is good, It has gone over a month without changing them!

Steve Coogan's scintillating prose, on UK phone hacking scandal
He is the embodiment of Fleet Street bullying, using his newspaper to peddle his Little-England, curtain-twitching Alan Partridgesque view of the world, which manages to combine sanctimonious, pompous moralising and prurient, voyeuristic, judgmental obsession, like a Victorian father masturbating secretly in his bedroom. This is the side of the press Cameron has sided with.
This is one of those moments when I wish I wrote like a Brit.

Before we close out September, I want to give a special thank you to the mother who made the news this month and, in the process, made me feel like I wasn't doing that bad of a job as a parent.
Thank you to Utah's Potty Training Mom who brought her twin toddlers and her toddlers' potties to a restaurant — and let her children sit on the toilets while they ate. As a fellow diner described, "She had to undo the jumpsuits, and take them all the way down so they were completely nude, with the jumpsuits down to their ankles just eating their chicken nuggets, sitting on little toddler potties."
I like you, Potty Training Mom. I like you the way I used to like all of the parents on Supernanny. You just make ME feel better about what I'm doing and for that I say thank you. The next time I'm having one of those I-Feel-Like-A-Shitty-Parent Moments, I'm going to think of you and your shitty parenting moment. And, I'm going to be glad that my moment is a figurative one.

Sports Fan Insider
Is it just me, or are the other Orioles fans out there, who keep wanting more? We won the first 2 against the Red Sox last week and all I could do was complain that we didn't get the sweep. Then we take 2 out of 3 from the Tigers and I couldn't stop thinking about the crazy loss on Friday night when we had Verlander on the ropes.
Am I wrong for wanting more?
I guess i could look at it and say we were fortunate to come back from being down 5 runs in the first on Sunday and win the game, but that's not how I think. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting more, but you have to prepare yourself for disappointment if things go South.
Right now the Orioles are 6 games out in the AL East and hold the second Wild Card spot in the American League.

Today's big event took us to The Stag which is a restaurant and beer garden in the richer part of London. A roast there was £28, luckily Rosie got a comp one so Aliya and I split that with her before grabbing food somewhere else. She sang seven songs but cut her list short. She really misses playing with Albert and Josh. The crowd wasn't so great either since she was the opener. At least I got to enjoy the performance and take some nice shots.

Cate and Chloe is a jewelry company that focuses on versatile, timeless pieces that women can wear every day. Their VIP subscription has been on my radar for awhile now as one I wanted to try, so when Cate & Chloe offered to send me an item to review, you know I said yes!
The Box: Cate & Chloe VIP
- Get two high-quality jewelry items each month, with a combined retail value of over $200
- Items are shipped out twice each month – receive one item every two weeks (one month = two shipments)
- One item each month will be an exclusive pre-release item, not yet available for sale
- For a limited time, receive an additional free gift item with your initial sign up (get a total of 3 items your first month)
Additional benefits are offered for VIP members, such as free shipping on the Cate & Chloe site (you'll receive your own individual free shipping code) and 20% off a C&C item, including sale items. The also offer exchanges on any items you get that you don't love, which is awesome!
The Cost: $39.99/month
Cate & Chloe kindly sent me this package to review.
The Goods:
Since this was a review package, I received one piece of jewelry – your first package will include an additional gift item, so you'll get two pieces!
My package came in a standard mailer (not pictured) and shipped via USPS. It only took about 3 days to get to me; it showed up on Valentine's Day, and definitely made my day a little sweeter! The packaging inside was a super cute silver box, tied with a big black bow. Inside was my jewelry item and a personalized envelope (with my name on it) containing the info card and a handwritten note. I love those personal touches that show there was an actual person involved with your shipment!
Inside the adorable jewelry box was my jewelry item – the Tallulah "Abundance" Drop Necklace:
This is a really pretty silver and crystal necklace that is totally my style! The description on the website says this necklace is a 1.5 ct t.w. "faux diamond" on an 18″ sterling silver chain, and retails for $120. I love the simplicity of this necklace, and while I typically prefer gold jewelry, necklaces like these are the rare exception where I like silver better (I think it shows off the sparkle more).
A close-up of the pendant from their website:
I will say that my package didn't include any info on the item received – I was able to identify it later on their website, and got the info from there. Since one piece each month will be a pre-release and not yet up on the site, it would be nice to see some info on each item included in each package. Hopefully that will be coming in the future.
A quick note on pricing: I have read some other reviews that dispute the "$200+ value" claim of this subscription. Here's how I feel about that – jewelry is one of those weird things that is worth whatever people will pay for it. I have seen the simplest jewelry sell for $500+, just because someone somewhere decided it was "cool," and so people pay for it.
Would I pay $120 for this necklace? No, but I will rarely pay $40 for a necklace, which is why I love getting my jewelry through subscriptions.
Would R buy this for me at $120? Maybe.
Can I totally see other people buying this for $120 and being happy with it? Yes.
The bottom line is this necklace costs $120, and with the subscription it would have essentially cost me $20 (half the monthly subscription). Even if you could find this on sale (I have seen similar C&C pieces on Little Black Bag for around the $50-$60 mark), this is still a better deal. I will absolutely wear it, and love having something a bit different to add to my collection, that I know I will still be able to wear in 5 years.
The Verdict: I absolutely love the piece I was sent, and was impressed with the quality. It is definitely something that can be worn everyday, but is also nice enough to wear as a "special occasion" piece. I like that this subscription is a bit different from the others out there, that typically send more "trendy" pieces that are fun, but not as universal. Cate & Chloe has a simpler, classy style to their pieces that I appreciate. I think a VIP subscription would be a great gift for anyone who prefers more elegant jewelry, or for the special lady in your life. This would be a great gift for guys to gift their ladies, because the pieces have a bit more of that "romantic gift" feel to them, and it's pretty low-risk, as items can be exchanged.
I was very impressed with my first piece from Cate & Chloe, and I may need to move my subscription budget around a little so I can fit in a VIP subscription of my own. As I mentioned, I was aware of this subscription previously, and several times had *almost* subscribed (as in, put it in my cart and filled out my information) but kept putting it off because I hadn't seen too many reviews out there and honestly, it seemed a little too good to be true. But after having had the chance to get a small taste of their product myself, I can confidently say that I think this is a great deal, a great service, and from everything I've experienced so far, a great company to do business with. It is definitely moving up my short-list of new subscriptions.
What do you think of Cate & Chloe VIP?
Disclosure: This complimentary box was received for review purposes. All opinions are my own and no compensation was received.

The Padres' top prospect struck out four and allowed one hit over five shutout innings Friday before Double-A San Antonio posted a 2-1, 14-inning triumph over Springfield.
Kelly, recovering from a strained right elbow ligament, walked one and faced one batter over the minimum for the Missions. He retired the first six Cardinals before giving up a leadoff double to Adam Melker in the third.
"This was probably my fourth outing back and I just wanted to go out there and command my fastball," Kelly said. "Obviously, as the game went on I started throwing more off-speed pitches. I felt like my fastball command was the best since my comeback."
Kelly, who was long gone by the time pitcher Robert Lara delivered a walk-off single, began the year with Tucson. He yielded three earned runs in two starts for the Triple-A Padres but missed 3 1/2 months before making three rehab starts in the Rookie-level Arizona League.
"It was good to be out there and obviously, in the Texas League you're facing a lot of good hitters," Kelly said. "It's good to get back in the game mode and see some different hitters."
Kelly spent all of last season with San Antonio, going 11-6 with a 3.98 ERA in 27 starts. In his final start last year, the 22-year-old right-hander limited Midland to one hit over five innings.
"I liked pitching in the Texas League last year and I love pitching in San Antonio, it's a pitcher's park," he said. "You gotta love pitching in those parks."
Kelly said he was limited to 70-75 pitches on Friday and was unsure what his next step will be, although he's not too concerned.
"I'm just trying to take it day by day and make sure the elbow feels good after the start," he said.
Dustin Pease (3-2) got the win, allowing two hits over two innings.
The Missions loaded the bases with two outs in the 14th for Lara, who was hitless in four plate appearances since he was promoted from Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore. But he batted for Pease and stroked a line drive to right field to end the game after four hours and 42 minutes.
Michael Blazek (5-6) allowed a run on three hits while retiring two batters for Springfield. Starter Carlos Martinez, the Cardinals' No. 2 prospect, allowed a run on four hits over five innings.

After the way the Raiders quarterback carousel has been going since Rich Gannon led the Silver and Black under center, it is no surprise that on day one of the Raiders 2013 mandatory minicamp that the quarterbacks got much of new head coach Dennis Allen's criticism in what was a practice session to be forgotten in the coach's mind.
"Today's practice really, at the end of the day, what we got to continue to work on is the consistency," Allen said. "I thought at times we executed well. We made some plays both offensively and defensively, but the consistency with which we have to execute on a day-in and day-out basis we have to continue to work on.
That consistency will be the key focus leading up to training camp and the preseason as the Raiders will be under Allen's reins for the first season in 2o13 as well as under offensive coordinator Greg Olsen. With Greg Knapp and Hue Jackson calling the plays in the past two seasons before Olsen, the Raiders will now be going through their third OC in as many years. Hard to develop consistency when new concepts and philosophies seem to be changing more often than the menu at Taco Bell.
Yet the confusion and growing pains Tyrelle Pryor and Matt Flynn showed was glaring, something that is not a positive sign for a team that is building the future of their quarterback position on two former college stars who are still unproven up to this point in the NFL.
Little to no completions were made during the first day of minicamp. Batted balls, and miscommunication between route and throw between Flynn/Pryor and their wideouts were the commanding theme. There is tons of time, but with an intense competition to replace Carson Palmer as the starting quarterback of a rebuilding franchise between Flynn and Pryor who both are looking for their big break in the league, neither of the two are standing out from the other.
Despite the pressure cooker environment of the battle for the starting quarterback job on a team with a new head coach and offensive coordinator, none of the parties involved in trying to restore the struggling franchise seem to be overly concerned.
Coach Allen was by far the quickest to stress that the process in getting ready for training camp and the first preseason game is a marathon and not a sprint. Driving home that in the quest for consistency, he will not allow himself to get dismayed by some bumps along the way during the road to the start of the season.
"I don't allow that to frustrate me," Allen said. "I understand where we're at in the season. I understand that we've got a lot of new pieces, a lot of new guys working together and I don't concern myself with that. I know we've got a lot of work to do, but the way our guys are working, we're going to get where we need to be."
Flynn, who is one year removed from losing his starting quarterback job to Russell Wilson in Seattle in what was supposed to breakout year for the former LSU quarterback, echoed the sentiments of his new head coach while also admitting that he does want to come out and practice at the highest level possible each time he steps onto the field, even at minicamp. "Each and every day we're going to want to come out and complete every pass and throw 10 touchdowns," Flynn said. "But realistically right now everyone is still learning, everyone is learning each other, everyone is learning a new playbook. Things are coming. Things are formulating. But we have a long time until game one."
You couldn't blame Flynn for wanting to come out with a strong performance all throughout the minicamp and training camp leading up to the preseason given the circumstances of his career. A national champion with LSU, Flynn was Aaron Rodgers understudy at Green Bay before heading to be the starting quarterback in Seattle after a much hyped saga about which team was going to land the now 27 year old who was considered to be by far the best non-starting quarterback in the NFL in most circles. Flynn famously lost that starting job to Wilson and the rest is history and what brought Flynn to the Raiders. Allen says Flynn is his starting quarterback, but you couldn't blame him for feeling some cautious pressure given how last year's preseason turned out.
Pryor, is quick to dismiss any notion of a rivalry between himself and Flynn and is playing up the good backup role as he should, yet finishing the Raiders season off with a strong game against the Chargers last winter you know that he is hurting to get his case for the starters job heard. Pryor started the season finale a year ago when Palmer was hurt and went 13 for 28 for 150 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 24-21 loss to the Chargers. He also ran for 49 yards and a touchdown, showing what made him so great at Ohio State in what he had hoped to be a successful one game audition for the role of Raiders starter this season. Instead the Raiders nabbed Flynn, hoping that he can show why he was so close to being a starter in Seattle and Pryor is fine with that.
"It's still a long time before even the first preseason game," said Pryor. "So, that talk is nonsense. It doesn't matter right now, as long as we're helping each other, and we're getting better and building team chemistry. That's the main thing, working with each other. Right now, not knowing who the starting quarterback is going to be and who's getting talked about, that's the thing that's not very important right now, to me."
With six weeks until training camp and around three months until the beginning of preseason, there is plenty of more time to focus on this issue. For now the quotes and comments coming out of Raiders camp have the feel of a combination of Allen trying to motivate his quarterbacks to elevate their performance of the offense at a higher level and an easy minicamp story that was eventually going to be tackled at one point or another. Mix in excuses like that no-pads on the linemen take getting adjusted to and an offensive session where both quarterbacks looked mediocre and you have yourself a very good narrative to start an integral, yet bland aspect of the offseason.
It seems that all parties involved in the structuring of the offensive system of the new look Raiders are not going to let a rough day at the office in front of the media and ever so judgmental gaze of the cameras get them distracted from the big picture. At the end of the day the Raiders have two former stars of the college game as the building blocks of the rebuilding of their offense and have plenty of offseason time to perfect things before the games actually matter. If Allen, Flynn, Pryor and co. aren't panicking, neither should anyone else.

Kipling: Poems
moreBeloved for his fanciful and engrossing children's literature, controversial for his enthusiasm for British imperialism, Rudyard Kipling remains one of the most widely read writers of Victorian and modern English literature. In addition to writing more than two dozen works of fiction, including Kim and The Jungle Book, Kipling was a prolific poet, composing verse in every classical form from the epigram to the ode. Kipling's most distinctive gift was for ballads and narrative poems in which he drew vivid characters in universal situations, articulating profound truths in plain language. Yet he was also a subtle, affecting anatomist of the human heart, and his deep feeling for the natural world was exquisitely expressed in his verse. He was shattered by World War I, in which he lost his only son, and his work darkened in later years but never lost its extraordinary vitality. All of these aspects of Kipling's poetry are represented in this selection, which ranges from such well-known compositions as "Mandalay" and "If" to the less-familiar, emotionally powerful, and personal epigrams he wrote in response to the war.

Folks, This Ain't Normal: A Farmer's Advice for Happier Hens, Healthier People, and a Better Worldby Joel Salatin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From farmer Joel Salatin's point of view, life in the 21st century just ain't normal. In FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL, he discusses how far removed we are from the simple, sustainable joy that comes from living close to the land and the people we love. Salatin has many thoughts on what normal is and shares practical and philosophical ideas for changing our lives in small ways that have big impact.
Salatin, hailed by the New York Times as "Virginia's most multifaceted agrarian since Thomas Jefferson [and] the high priest of the pasture" and profiled in the Academy Award nominated documentary Food, Inc. and the bestselling book The Omnivore's Dilemma, understands what food should be: Wholesome, seasonal, raised naturally, procured locally, prepared lovingly, and eaten with a profound reverence for the circle of life. And his message doesn't stop there. From child-rearing, to creating quality family time, to respecting the environment, Salatin writes with a wicked sense of humor and true storyteller's knack for the revealing anecdote.
Salatin's crucial message and distinctive voice--practical, provocative, scientific, and down-home philosophical in equal measure--make FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL a must-read book.
About the Author
JOEL SALATIN is a third generation family farmer working his land in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley with mother, Lucille, wife, Teresa, daughter, Rachel, son, Daniel, daughter-in-law, Sheri, grandsons, Travis and Andrew, and granddaughter, Lauryn, along with a cadre of employees, subcontractors, apprentices, and interns.

Strong, clean black-and-white silhouettes stormed the fall runways. Call it the new power dressing (minus the Dynasty-style shoulder pads). And call it a score for confident women who know that sexy can also mean chic. Our tweed sheath dress falls firmly in this category—the simple shape is offset by geometric, waist-accentuating inset panels. Layered over a sheer shell or under a structured blazer, with pointy-toe pumps or wedge ankle booties, this is a piece we see making its way into infinite wardrobe rotation.

Originally written on SteelerAddicts | Last updated 10/21/14
Coming into the 2012 season, anytime the name Larry Foote was mentioned, it was typically followed by the 'replacement for James Farrior the all-pro linebacker who has now retired.' I don't know about you, but I think I would get tired of this after awhile and that's no knock on Potsie who had an outstanding career in the black 'n gold, but time marches on and this is now Foote's position. If ever a guy was taking ownership of a spot long-held by a fan favorite it's Foote who through two games leads the team in tackles with 16, has a sack and has forced a fumble. No one will ever confuse the man from the University of Michigan with Jack Lambert or Jack Ham or Greg Lloyd but he has gotten every ounce out of his 11-year career that many probably thought he would never have. Foote is more than having a good year statistically to this point, he is also the guy in charge of setting the defense and making sure the front seven are where they need to be. In Dick LeBeau's 3-4 defense, that i...

(Reuters) – Activist investor Crest Financial, which is looking to block Sprint Nextel's $ 2.2 billion purchase of Clearwire , said it raised its stake in Clearwire, giving it slightly more voting power against the deal. Crest Financial said on Tuesday that it had increased its stake in Clearwire to 57.65 million shares, up from 45.8 million, giving it a stake of about 3.9 percent of Clearwire's shares outstanding.
