Obama Administration
That's a Mighty Nice Climate Change Plan, America
But now the question is: Will it survive 2016?
Obama's EPA Takes Aim at Dirty Power Plants
The new rules would clean up the energy sector by 2030, but have sparked bipartisan outrage already.
Obama's Big, New Counterterrorism Plan Is a Hot Mess
The White House is promising to give allies around the world $5 billion to fight terrorists. But America's been doing that for years -- and no one seems to know what this new program is.
With Shinseki Out, Who Will Obama Tap Next to Lead the Department of Veterans Affairs?
The next VA Secretary will need to press reset on an entrenched bureaucracy with surging demand.
Green Day
The Obama administration's ambitious new clean energy policy has the coal industry on the warpath.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Leadership
Why is President Obama afraid to talk about the real levers of American exceptionalism?
When 9,800 Doesn't Equal 9,800
The dirty secret about Obama's Afghan plan is that tens of thousands of American civilians will be on the ground long after the troops have left.
A Disparity Impossible to Ignore
The sad irony of Obama's "big" foreign-policy speech.
Clean Up on Aisle One
Not new, not improved, Obama rehashes his Walmart foreign policy.
The Less Things Change…
It's been a year since Obama's big speech about reforming the U.S. targeted killing program. Here are 10 things about the forever war that have hardly budged at all.
A Poor Chapter in the History Books
From Ukraine to Syria, is Barack Obama's foreign-policy legacy already doomed?
Heads Won't Roll
Obama's talking tough about the VA scandal, so why isn't he firing anyone?
No, Sanctions Didn't Force Iran to Make a Deal
Reaching out to Tehran, not smashing its economy, is what made the nuke deal possible -- and it could have happened much earlier.
A President Lying to the American People, and to Himself
Barack Obama is insisting on a false choice between doing nothing in Syria or going to war.
Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out, Mr. President
Why Obama's Asia trip only made China angrier and inflamed regional tensions.
The Audacity of Small Ball
Obama's defense of his foreign policy illustrates much of what's wrong with it.
FP's Situation Report: The sanctions are coming, the sanctions are coming
Military muscle flexing in Asia; Hagel's approval rating low; Crash in Afg probably an accident; Assad to seek a third term; In China, the Big Ban Theory; and a bit more.
The False Cry of the Pivot Deniers
The rebalancing to Asia is real and the president isn't there right now to salvage a phantom policy.
I Come Bearing … Reassurance
Leave the gifts at home, Mr. President. Here are the five things America's allies in Asia really need.
FP's Situation Report: AF to look at bomber units
Will Obama tweak missile defense posture?; McCain, Flake furious about the VA; Blue Angels commander in hot water; Hagel brings the muscle; Marine regrets crucifying himself; and a bit more.
The Pivot to Nothing
Why Tom Donilon's empty claims about America's rebalancing to Asia obscure a dangerous reality.
Don't Be a Menace to South (China Sea)
...and other strategies for managing the world's most important bilateral relationship.
Let Them Eat Apple Pie
Income inequality in the U.S. is now as bad as it was in aristocratic Europe. Are the bread riots finally coming?
Whipping Votes and Protecting Lives
The Obama administration has won a significant human rights triumph in Geneva. But it has gone unheralded amid strident criticisms about spying, drones, and detainees.
The Lonely Man
With the peace process sputtering, will John Kerry abandon his signature initiative -- or cling to his belief that a deal can really be reached?

It appears a solution has finally been discovered for all of the longtime major-label artists whose debut albums have collected dust while awaiting release. Case in point: Q (aka Q Da Kid), signed to So So Def for several years was recently transferred to boss Jermaine Dupri's newest label venture, Tag Records (yup, as in the body spray brand). Getting ready for his upcoming I Am Him mixtape, Q gets into Untouchable mode with some classic BK street lyricism. Half of the credit here belongs to BUStheProducer for his percussion-heavy beat and sampling of a little-known Biggie verse (from Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard's Think Big). While the I Am Him mixtape has no set release date, look for Q to finally get some long-deserved shine on his new label.

OWINGS MILLS, MARYLAND - MAY 8: Defensive end Paul Kruger #99 of the Baltimore Ravens seen during minicamp at the practice facility on May 8, 2009 in Owings Mills, Maryland. (Photo by Ned Dishman/Getty Images)
Paul Kruger was in his home state of Utah, enjoying a rare day off from offseason training, when he logged into his email account and saw a string of emails awaiting him on May 3rd. "I knew something must have been up, because I had a bunch of texts and emails. More than usual. I went on the Internet, and there it was -- Terrell was injured," the fourth-year Ravens player said this week at Ravens minicamp. "I got on the phone, called some of the other guys, spoke with coaches, and it was confirmed. Major major, blow, for sure." Kruger, then, took a pause, and continued. "Next man up," he said with no explanation. I pressed. "Huh?" "That's our mantra," Kruger said. "Next man up. If that's me, then I'll do my best to step in. Sometimes you can't control the situation. Sometimes guys get hurt. No point lingering too much on it. Next man up. That's what we say, here." "Next Man Up" was the ti...

Greetings from Lake of the Ozarks! It has been a little while since our last post so we thought what a great time to write another one…on our anniversary!
We came down to the Lake to spend a little time getting away while celebrating…wait for it, wait for it…our 1st year of marriage! We made it (sometimes surprisingly so! ;) ). We are so fortunate that we have this little get-away to go to and relax. Anways…on to the main part of the blog.
Last evening we had our anniversary dinner at Baxter's Lakeside Grille ( http://baxterslakesidegrille.com/ ). This is the second time visiting this establishment; we had been there the first time after rave reviews and recommendations from my sisters and parents. We enjoyed it so much that time that we thought it was the perfect place to celebrate.
We made reservations through the website with Open Table ( http://www.opentable.com ) which is such an easy, simple way to choose a time you wish while also being able put in special requests ( view of the lake, non-smoking, etc.). I had mentioned in that comment section that it was our anniversary and when the host greeted us he wished us Happy Anniversary. How thoughtful! He also upgraded us to a nicer table and low and behold it was the same place we sat the first time we came! How neat was that?! It had a beautiful view of the lake but also was far enough away from the bar to be intimate.
We started out with the Spinach and Artichoke Dip which was piping hot, creamy, and complex while also coming out very quickly. Baxter's menu is not too big but with so many good choices I had trouble deciding whereas Dan took one look and said "I'm getting the sirloin" and shut his menu. Lucky! One great thing about Baxter's is they allow you to bring a bottle of your own wine in for a $10 corkage fee as long as it is not one of the wines they sell. We brought a bottle of red wine we bought on our Kentucky trip which we had fallen in love with- Black Barrel Reserve from Wildside Winery. The wine is aged in bourbon barrels from one of the local distilleries.
For our main course Dan got Baxter's Sirloin steak with Wasabi smashed potatoes and a Caesar salad and I got the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. Both dishes were savory, cooked to perfection, and satisfying. After finishing our plates, April, our attentive waitress, brought us out a piece of cheesecake on the house as a anniversary surprise, as well as taking our picture for a "surprise gift". When she brought the bill she also brought us our picture she took in a congratulatory photo memento.
We would highly recommend Baxter's to anyone traveling down to the Lake. Not only is the food delicious and fresh and the atmosphere inviting, but also a dress code ranging from formal to casual lakeside attire is acceptable. This is a perfect place for an intimate dinner for two or a family who wants to enjoy spending time together while getting a great meal. Enjoy!
Thank you for reading,

Wharton Does Other Stuff, Too, You KnowBy Jon Shazar
LBS, Wake Forest and Georgetown are turning their B-schools into, well, college. Read more »
Once again, as it does every year, US News has released its ranking of the best, not bad, and okay business schools. As this is the sort of thing that inspires unbridled rage over perceived slights like finding out your alma mater dropped one spot or having to suffer the indignity of an inferior institution being too close on the list, and many of your are plain itching to get into a fight, everyone should feel free to do it in this controlled space.
If you're having trouble working yourself up into a lather but don't want to be left out of the fun, perhaps consider how it must feel for Wharton to finally have cracked the number one slot only to find out that it's being split three ways not just with Harvard but with a school that will let anyone in.

Business School Applicants Having None Of This "Show Us You Can Speak Without Paying A Consultant $500 To Show You How" CrapBy Bess Levin
After years of receiving scripted answers to questions from would-be business school students re: why they want to go to Harvard/Wharton/Stanford/Sloan or what they think of a company's earnings potential or where they see themselves in five to ten years or what they ate for breakfast, admissions officers have lately been taking a new tack in an attempt to see the "real" side of applicants. Hoping to get a little "unrehearsed honesty" and insight into who these people really are, prospective students are being asked to submit "reflections" ("a short, off-the-cut note that must be submitted within 24 hours of an admissions interview") and take part in "team-based discussions," for which they're told to "relax, be genuine," not worry about giving the "right" answer, and just say what they really think, rather than what a coach told them to say they think. Unfortunately, Harvard and Wharton officials apparently have no idea who they're dealing with here. You can't make future b-school students relax and be genuine! You can't! You won't! Read more »

"Students Prefer Larger Postschool Wages But Dislike Studying"By Matt Levine
That's how two Wharton professors, Daniel Gottlieb and Kent Smetters, model their students in a recent paper that tries to explain why so many business schools have policies – typically adopted by student vote – that prevent students from disclosing their grades to employers. Seems reasonable!
We construct a model with students, schools, and employers. Students prefer larger postschool wages but dislike studying. Schools are heterogenous in their selectivity (reputation). Under disclosure, employers can observe both a student's grades and the school's selectivity; under non-disclosure, an employer can only observe the partial signal of the school's selectivity.
That model leads to a bunch of equations (no charts, sorry) with conclusions that again seem pretty reasonable. The driving force for preferring a non-disclosure policy turns out to be that mean post-graduation pay has to be higher than median pay – and the authors think that this is likely at a selective school where the top students can be very valuable, but less likely for a less-selective school where everyone is clustered closer to average ability. If the average value of a Wharton student is higher than value of the average Wharton student, then making it hard for employers to figure out who is actually valuable will let everyone get paid for the optionality:

Michael Wittmer is currently Professor of Systematic Theology at GRTS in Grand Rapids, MI. He is the author of Heaven Is a Place on Earth, Don't Stop Believing, The Last Enemy, and Despite Doubt. He and his wife, Julie, live in Grand Rapids, Michigan with their three children: Avery, Landon, and Alayna.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Wittmer's first book Heaven is A Place On Earth and picked this up.
I recommend this book to anyone who wonders about what it's like to live as a true-believer in this century without selling out or being a weirdo.
I think that, in general, Dr. Wittmer expounds these doctrines with great clarity and Scriptural integrity.

Well if you don't mind me asking how old are you? Are you on birth control? Is there a chance that you could be pregnant? Is your period due anytime soon?
These things will help with answering your question because your breasts hurting can be related to all these things.
If you are a teenager then it's normal for your breast's to be hurting. You may experience 'growing pains' which is where your breasts hurt because they are growing. You can all so have breast pain/tender breasts before your period starts and is a symptom of PMS (which stands for Pre-Menstrual Syndrome.)

answered Sunday August 19 2012, 8:40 am:
Drinking a lot of soda with caffiene can cause breast pain. Many women also experience breast pain just before or during their menstrual period. Young girls often have breast pain when their breast are starting to grow, it is a natural thing and nothing to worry about. If however you should feel any lumps or get a discharge from your nipples that would need to be checked out by a doctor.

Internet wins as court denies motion to seize ccTLDs
Court rules .ir, .sy, .kp and related IDNs cannot be "attached" as compensation.
ICANN and the internet community at large got a victory this week as a U.S. court denied a request (pdf) to seize country code top level domains (ccTLDs) as compensation in a lawsuit.
A number of claimants that had won a judgement against Iran, Syria and North Korea over terrorism charges had demanded control of the country's ccTLDs (.IR, .SY and .KP plus IDN versions) as payment.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia determined:
The ccTLDs exist only as they are made operational by the ccTLD operators that administer the registries of second level domains within them and by the parties that cause the ccTLDs to be listed on the root zone file. A ccTLD, like a domain name, cannot be conceptualized apart from the services provided by these parties. The court cannot order plaintiffs' insertion into this arrangement.
Had the court ruled otherwise, it would have opened up a can of worms in internet governance. Already, many countries are not comfortable with the U.S.'s "control" of the internet.
There is currently a process to lessen this role by taking the U.S. government out of a contractual relationship for certain functions managed by ICANN. World governments would have been incensed had a U.S. court granted the seizure of an existing country code top level domain name, even if they were those of state sponsors of terrorism.
Moncler goes on (domain) defense after geese allegations
Company registers boycott domain names after negative news report.
Luxury Italian coat maker Moncler saw its shares drubbed after an Italian news report suggested that makers of down jackets were plucking geese inhumanely. The company has responded in the press to the allegations, while also quietly scooping up domain names its haters might want to register.
Yesterday, Moncler registered:
- boycottmoncler.com /.net, plus boycot with one 't'
- boycott-moncler.com /.net
- ihatemoncler.com
While I certainly understand the registrations, I'm confused as to why it didn't register the typical defensive domain name "sucks". MonclerSucks.com is still available. Seems like Defensive Registration 101.
From a new TLD perspective, Moncler uses Donuts' protected marks service, so Moncler.exposed can't be registered.
If the company wants to get really fancy, it could also register MonclerisaDweeb.com.
.XXX modifies domain matching program for new adult TLDs
ICM Registry shortens window for claiming matching domain names due to ICANN requirements.
ICM Registry, the company behind .xxx and the soon-to-be-released .porn and .adult domain names, announced today a modified domain name matching program for .xxx domain name owners.
Previously, the company planned to reserve any domain names registered in .xxx in its new top level domain names so they could be registered by the .xxx owner. However, ICANN would not allow ICM Registry to "hold" these domain names due to rights protection mechanisms.
As a result, ICM's new plan creates a thirty day Limited Registration Period after sunrise ends. This is essentially the domain matching period, and .xxx owners will have to register their .adult and .porn domain names during this 30 day window in order to take advantage of the matching program.

Yoyo.email, owner of 4,000 .email domain names, gets a "win" in court
Company reaches agreement with company that won URS case against it.
Yoyo.email, the controversial company that registered over 4,000 .email domain names, got a win in court today after settling with one of the companies that filed a Uniform Rapid Suspension case against it.
Yoyo registered thousands of .email domain names matching the monikers of big brands, such as 7eleven.email, Geico.email and Budlight.email. It plans to use the domain names for a certified email service.
Naturally, it didn't take long after registering these domains for URS and UDRP cases to follow. Click here to continue reading…
CyclingTips.com.au owner guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking
Company went after CyclingTips.com.
Law firm ESQwire.com has scored yet another Reverse Domain Name Hijacking victory on behalf of a client.
Wallace Media Pty Ltd, which operates the cycling website CyclingTips.com.au, filed the case against the owner of CyclingTips.com. Wallace Media complained that people looking for its site often leave off the .au, leading them to the respondent's domain name.
There were a lot of issues at play in this case, including when the respondent actually registered the domain name. Fundamentally, though, this case came down to a company adopting a highly descriptive domain name and then wanting to get common law trademark protection for it.
Wallace Media threw out a bunch of stats to show that its website is popular among Australian bicyclists. But what does that have to do with a domain name owner in Canada, who could have purchased the domain name for the same descriptive purpose? Click here to continue reading…

If you have a case at hand, it is good to seek legal redress. In order to be successful in your quest to seek justice, you will need the services of Cary Jay Cross Attorney. The attorney will help you pursue justice in the right way. In this article, you will realize how the attorney will help you.
The first way in which your attorney will help you is giving you advice. Legal advice is very important in the legal process. This is because every decision you make is critical. If you make wrong decisions, it is likely that you will fail in the court of law. Your attorney, therefore, advises you what you should do and what you should not. For instance, your lawyer may analyze the case and advice you not to proceed with it the way it is. In order to get a smooth ride, it is good to listen to your Cary Jay Cross Attorney.
In addition, your lawyer will help you search for evidence. Remember, in the court of law, you will need evidence. If you don't have evidence, it is hard for you to win. That's why you need solid evidence. Your attorney can easily help you get the evidence you need. For instance, your lawyer can help you understand whether certain pieces of information can be considered as evidence or not. Because of this, you will have a strong case in the court of law.
On the same note, your Cary Jay Cross PC Attorney will defend you in court. Remember, you are dealing with learned legal professionals. If you don't have someone as qualified as the people you are accusing, it is possible to lose badly. This is because the other side will toss you from one article to another sub-article. By the time you are through, you will not understand anything. Since your lawyer is qualified and certified, it will be easy for him to help you win the case. This is by professionally analyzing statements made by the other side and refuting them by quoting the constitution.
Finally, your lawyer will represent you in court. It is no doubt that cases can take long in court. In fact, your case may not end any time soon. This means that you will be in and out of courts regularly. This will probably take your time and delay development. Your Cary Jay Cross Attorney will not let that happen. Your lawyer will always be available to defend you in court. Some of the proceedings you shouldn't attend will be attended your lawyer alone. This means that you will continue undertaking your daily activities without any problem. At the end of the day, you will be able to pursue both justice and developmental projects.
In order to enjoy the above benefits, it is good to hire the best lawyer. Do not make a mistake of not hiring not so good lawyer. If you do this, you are likely to obstruct justice. This is because a bad lawyer will mess you up. It is good, therefore, to ensure that you hire the best lawyer in town. In this way, you will enjoy the above benefits and many more.

Sinterklaas [sɪntər'klaːs] or Sint Nicolaas [sɪnt 'nikolaːs] [ pronunciation (help·info)] is a traditional figure based on Saint Nicholas. Other names for the figure include De Sint ("The Saint"), De Goedheiligman ("The Good Holy Man"), and De Goede Sint ("The Good Saint") in Dutch; Saint-Nicolas in French; Sinteklaas in Frisian; and Kleeschen and Zinniklos in Luxembourgish.
Sinterklaas is celebrated annually with the giving of gifts on the night before Saint Nicholas Day (5 December) in the Netherlands and on the morning of 6 December, Saint Nicholas Day itself, in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Northern France (French Flanders, Lorraine and Artois). He is also well known in territories of the former Dutch Empire, including Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao.
He is one of the sources of the popular Christmas icon of Santa Claus.[1]
Other holiday figures based on Saint Nicholas are celebrated in some parts of Germany and Austria (Sankt Nikolaus); Switzerland (Samichlaus); Italy (San Nicola in Bari, South Tyrol, Alpine municipalities, and many others); parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia (Sveti Nikola); Slovenia (Sveti Nikolaj or Sveti Miklavž); and Greece (Agios Nikolaos), among others.

Sinterklaas is an elderly, stately and serious man with white hair and a long, full beard. He wears a long red cape or chasuble over a traditional white bishop's alb and sometimes red stola, dons a red mitre and ruby ring, and holds a gold-coloured crosier, a long ceremonial shepherd's staff with a fancy curled top.
He traditionally rides a white horse. In the Netherlands, the horse is called Amerigo, and in Belgium, it is named Slecht Weer Vandaag, meaning "Bad Weather Today".[2]
Sinterklaas carries a big book that tells whether each child has been good or naughty in the past year.
Zwarte Piet[edit]

Zwarte Piet (Black Pete, plural Zwarte Pieten) is a companion of Sinterklaas, usually portrayed by a man in blackface with black curly hair, dressed up like a 17th-century page in colourful dress, often sporting a lace collar and a feathered cap. He first appears in print as the nameless servant of Saint Nicholas in Sint Nikolaas en zijn knecht (St. Nicholas and His Servant), published in 1850 by Amsterdam schoolteacher Jan Schenkman; but the tradition appears to date back at least as far as the early 19th Century.
Sinterklaas and his Black Pete usually carry a bag which contains candy for nice children and a roe, a chimney sweep's broom made of willow branches, used to spank naughty children. Some of the older Sinterklaas songs make mention of naughty children being put in the bag and being taken back to Spain. The Zwarte Pieten toss candy around, a tradition supposedly originating in the story of Saint Nicholas's saving three young girls from prostitution by tossing golden coins through their window at night to pay their dowries. In recent years the roe has been absent, to adapt to modern times.
There are various explanations of the origin of Zwarte Piet. One is that Saint Nicholas liberated an Ethiopian slave boy called Pieter from a Myra market, and the boy was so grateful he decided to stay with Saint Nicholas as a helper.[citation needed]
In modern adaptations for television, the Saint has developed a Piet for every function: there is a head Piet (Hoofdpiet), a navigation Piet (wegwijspiet) to navigate the steamboat from Spain to the Netherlands, a packing Piet (pakjespiet) to pack all the gifts, an acrobatic Piet to climb roofs and stuff presents down the chimney, or to climb down the chimneys themselves. Over the years many stories have been added, and Zwarte Piet has developed from a rather unintelligent helper into a valuable assistant to the absent-minded Saint.[3]
Traditionally Zwarte Piet's face is said to be black because he is a Moor from Spain. Today, some prefer to say that his face is blackened with soot, as he has to climb through chimneys to deliver his gifts. The figure of Zwarte Piet is considered by some to be racist.[4] Verene Shepherd, chair of United Nations' Working Group on people of African descent, stated in an interview with the Dutch television news program EEN Vandaag on 22 October 2013 that, "The working group cannot understand why it is that the people in The Netherlands cannot see that it is a throwback to slavery . . . . [A]s a black person I feel, that I, if I were living in The Netherlands, I would object to it." The working group started investigations in 2012 and sent questions to the Dutch UN representative in January 2013.[5] However, after a more thorough investigation it was announced that the UN would drop any 'racism' related charges against the Dutch.[6]
In a 2013 survey, 92% of the Dutch public did not perceive Zwarte Piet as racist or associate him with slavery, and 91% were opposed to altering the character's appearance.[7] Nevertheless, beginning in 2013, several Dutch retail chains including Hema and V&D began changing their seasonal Sinterklaas products and displays in order to include a revised version of Zwarte Piet without the makeup or other racially sensitive characteristics.[8]
In Belgium, there is less controversy about the possible racist nature of Zwarte Piet. In late 2014, The Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism in Belgium stated that the image of Zwarte Piet is non-discriminatory. The Centre did however encourage an open debate and asked to refrain from representing the figure of Zwarte Piet as a stupid, inferior or dangerous black man.[9]
Arrival from Spain (Intocht)[edit]
Sinterklaas traditionally arrives in the Netherlands each year in mid-November (the first Saturday after 11 November) by steamboat from Spain. He then parades through the streets on his horse, welcomed by children cheering and singing traditional Sinterklaas songs.[10] His Zwarte Piet assistants throw candy and small, round, gingerbread-like cookies, either kruidnoten or pepernoten, into the crowd. The event is broadcast live on national television in the Netherlands and Belgium.
After this national arrival, all towns with a dock usually celebrate their own intocht van Sinterklaas (arrival of Sinterklaas). Local arrivals usually take place later on the same Saturday of the national arrival, the next Sunday (the day after he arrives in the Netherlands or Belgium), or one weekend after the national arrival. In places a boat cannot reach, Sinterklaas arrives by train, horse, horse-drawn carriage or even a fire truck.
Some suggest that gifts associated with the holy man, the mandarin oranges, led to the misconception that he must have been from Spain. This theory is backed by a Dutch poem documented in 1810 in New York and provided with an English translation:[11][12]
Sinterklaas, goedheiligman!
Saint Nicholas, good holy man!
The text presented here comes from a pamphlet that John Pintard released in New York in 1810. It is the earliest source mentioning Spain in connection to Sinterklaas. Pintard wanted St. Nicholas to become patron saint of New York and hoped to establish a Sinterklaas tradition. Apparently he got help from the Dutch community in New York, that provided him with the original Dutch Sinterklaas poem. Strictly speaking, the poem does not state that Sinterklaas comes from Spain, but that he needs to go to Spain to pick up the oranges and pomegranates. So the link between Sinterklaas and Spain goes through the oranges, a much appreciated treat in the 19th century. Later the connection with the oranges got lost, and Spain became his home.
Period leading up to Saint Nicholas' Eve[edit]
In the weeks between his arrival and 5 December, Sinterklaas also visits schools, hospitals and shopping centers. He is said to ride his white-grey horse over the rooftops at night, delivering gifts through the chimney to the well-behaved children. Traditionally, naughty children risked being caught by Black Pete, who carried a jute bag and willow cane for that purpose.[13]
Before going to bed, children put their shoes next to the fireplace chimney of the coal-fired stove or fireplace (or in modern times close to the central heating radiator). They leave the shoe with a carrot or some hay in it and a bowl of water nearby "for Sinterklaas' horse", and the children sing a Sinterklaas song.
The next day they find some candy or a small present in their shoes. Typical Sinterklaas treats traditionally include hot chocolate, mandarin oranges, pepernoten, speculaas (sometimes filled with almond paste), letter-shaped pastry filled with almond paste or a chocolate letter (the first letter of the child's name made out of chocolate)chocolate coins and marzipan figures. Newer treats include gingerbread biscuits or and a figurine of Sinterklaas made of chocolate and wrapped in colored aluminum foil.
Saint Nicholas' Eve and Saint Nicholas' Day[edit]
In the Netherlands, Saint Nicholas' Eve, 5 December, became the chief occasion for gift-giving during the winter holiday season. The evening is called Sinterklaasavond or Pakjesavond ("gifts evening", or literally "packages evening").
On the evening of 5 December, the main presents will somehow arrive, or a note will be "found" that explains where in house the presents were hidden by Zwarte Piet who left a burlap sack with them. Sometimes a neighbor will knock on the door (pretending to be a Zwarte Piet) and leave the sack outside for the children to retrieve; this varies per family. When the presents arrive, the living room is decked out with them, much as on Christmas Day in English-speaking countries. On 6 December, Sinterklaas departs without any ado, and all festivities are over.
In Belgium, most children have to wait until the morning of 6 December to receive their gifts, and Sinterklaas is seen as a festivity almost exclusively for children. The shoes are filled with carrots and sugar cubes on the evening of the fifth and often, a bottle of beer for Zwarte Piet and a cup of coffee for Sinterklaas are placed next to them. Sinterklaas largely replaces Christmas as a gift-giving occasion, usually for as long as the children are living at home. Also, when it is time for children to give up their pacifier, they place it into his or her shoe ("safekeeping by Sinterklaas") and it is replaced with chocolate the next morning.
The present is often creatively disguised by being packaged in a humorous, unusual or personalised way. This is called a surprise (from the French ).[14][15]
Poems from Sinterklaas usually accompany gifts, bearing a personal message for the receiver. It is usually a humorous poem which often teases the recipient for well-known bad habits or other character deficiencies.
When the children reach the age when they know "the big secret of Sinterklaas", some people will shift to Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for the present giving. Older children in Dutch families where the children are too old to believe in Sinterklaas anymore, also often celebrate Christmas with presents instead of pakjesavond. Instead of such gifts being brought by Sinterklaas, family members may draw names for an event comparable to Secret Santa.
Pre-Christian Europe[edit]
Parallels have been drawn between the legend of Sinterklaas and the figure of Odin,[16] a major god among the Germanic peoples, who was worshipped in Northern and Western Europe prior to Christianization. Since some elements of the Sinterklaas celebration are unrelated to Christianity, there are theories regarding the pagan origins of various customs of the holiday stemming from areas where the Germanic peoples were Christianized and retained elements of their indigenous traditions, surviving in various forms into modern depictions of Sinterklaas. Non-Christian elements in Sinterklaas that arguably could have been of pagan origin:
- Sinterklaas rides the rooftops on his white horse which has various names; Odin rides the sky with his grey horse Sleipnir.
- Sinterklaas gives chocolate letters to children, like Odin gave the rune letters to man.
- Sinterklaas carries a staff and has mischievous helpers with black faces, who listen at chimneys to find out whether children are bad or good and report to Sinterklaas; Odin has a spear and his black ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who report what happens in the world to Odin.[17]
Middle Ages[edit]
The Sinterklaasfeest arose during the Middle Ages. The folk feast celebrates the name day, 6 December, of Saint Nicholas (270–343), patron saint of children. Saint Nicholas was a Greek bishop of Myra in present-day Turkey. In 1087, half of his relics were furtively transported to Bari, in southeastern Italy; for this reason, he is also known as Nikolaos of Bari. Bari later formed part of the Spanish Kingdom of Naples, because it was previously conquered in 1442 by Alfonso V of Aragon. The city thus became part of the Kingdom of Aragon and later of Spain, until the 18th century.
Because half the remains of St. Nicholas were in Bari (then a Spanish city), in this tradition St. Nicholas comes from Spain and has a black helper depicted as a Morisco page boy known as Zwarte Piet. Because of the help he gave to sailors in his home town, Saint Nicolas was venerated as the patron saint of sailors, which is why he comes to the Netherlands on a steamboat. His anonymous gifts and kindness towards children had already secured him the patronage of children, by the elders of Lycia, his home province. Sinterklaas' fame spread throughout Europe. The Roman Catholic Church made his name day a Church holiday. In the north of France, he became the patron saint of school children, then mostly in church schools.
In the Reformation in 16th-17th-century Europe, many Protestants and others changed the gift bringer to the Christ Child or Christkindl, and the date for giving gifts changed from 6 December to Christmas Eve.[18]
Sinterklaas is assisted by many mischievous helpers with black faces and colourful Moorish dresses. These helpers are called Zwarte Pieten (Black Pete(r)s). Although the character of Black Pete later came to acquire racial connotations, his origins were in the evil figure. Good and bad play an important role in the feast: good is rewarded, bad and evil are punished. Hence the duplication of the one Saint in a saint and a (frolicking) devil.
The feast was both an occasion to help the poor, by putting money in their shoes (which evolved into putting presents in children's shoes) and a wild feast, similar to Carnival, that often led to costumes, a "topsy-turvy" overturning of daily roles, and mass public drunkenness.
In early traditions, students elected one of their classmates as "bishop" on St. Nicholas Day, who would rule until 28 December (Innocents Day), and they sometimes acted out events from the bishop's life. As the festival moved to city streets, it became more lively.[19]
16th and 17th centuries[edit]
After the rebellion of the Dutch provinces against the Spanish Empire, Calvinist regents and ministers prohibited celebration of the Saint. The Republic of the United Provinces became an officially Protestant country following the Reformation, and its governments abolished public celebrations. The South, however, remained Catholic. People there and students in Amsterdam, which also contained a significant Catholic population, protested. The government eventually allowed private family celebration of Saint Nicholas' Day.
19th century[edit]
In the 19th century, the saint emerged from hiding and became more secularized at the same time.[19] The modern tradition of Sinterklaas as a children's feast was likely confirmed with the illustrated children's book Sint Nicolaas en zijn knecht ('Saint Nicholas and his servant'), written in 1850 by the teacher Jan Schenkman (1806–1863). Some say he introduced the images of Sinterklaas' delivering presents by the chimney, riding over the roofs of houses on a grey horse, and arriving from Spain by steamboat, then an exciting modern invention. Perhaps building on the fact that Sint Nicholas historically is the patron saint of the sailors (many churches dedicated to him have been built near harbors), Schenkman could have been inspired by the Spanish customs and ideas about the saint when he portrayed him arriving via the water in his book. Schenkman introduced the song Zie ginds komt de stoomboot ("Look over yonder, the steamboat is arriving"), which is still popular in the Netherlands.
In Schenkman's version, the medieval figures of the mock devil, which later changed to Oriental or Moorish helpers, was portrayed for the first time as black African and called Zwarte Piet (Black Peter).[19]
World War II[edit]
In the lean times of the German occupation of the Netherlands (1940–1945), Sinterklaas nonetheless came to cheer everyone, not just children. Many of the traditional Sinterklaas rhymes written during those times[20] referred to current events. The Royal Air Force (RAF) was often celebrated. In 1941, for instance, the RAF dropped boxes of candy over the occupied Netherlands. One classical poem that was turned into a contemporary one was the following:
- original
- Sinterklaas, kapoentje,
- Gooi wat in mijn schoentje,
- Gooi wat in mijn laarsje,
- Dank U Sinterklaasje
- which became the contemporary version
- R.A.F. Kapoentje,
- Gooi wat in mijn schoentje,
- Bij de Moffen gooien,
- Maar in Holland strooien!
- translation
- R.A.F. Capon,
- throw something in my shoe
- throw [bombs] at the Krauts
- but scatter [candy] in Holland!
This is a variation of one of the best-known traditional Sinterklaas rhymes, with "R.A.F." replacing "Sinterklaas" in the first line, (the two expressions have the same metrical characteristics in the first and second, and in the third and fourth lines) with the Dutch word "Kapoentje" capon is traditional in the rhyme, (but in this case it also alludes to "flying bird"). The second line is straight from the original rhyme, but in the third and fourth line the RAF is encouraged to drop bombs on the Moffen (slur for Germans, like "krauts" in English) and candy over the Netherlands. Many of the Sinterklaas poems of this time noted the lack of food and basic necessities, and the German occupiers having taken everything of value; others expressed admiration for the Dutch Resistance.[21]
Originally Sinterklaas was only accompanied with one (or sometimes two) Zwarte Pieten, but just after the liberation of the Netherlands, Canadian soldiers organized a Sinterklaas party with many Zwarte Pieten, and ever since this has been the custom, each Piet normally having his own dedicated task.[22]
Sinterklaas as a source for Santa Claus[edit]
Sinterklaas is the basis for the North American figure of Santa Claus. It is often claimed that during the American War of Independence, the inhabitants of New York City, a former Dutch colonial town (New Amsterdam), reinvented their Sinterklaas tradition, as Saint Nicholas was a symbol of the city's non-English past.[23] The name Santa Claus supposedly derived from older Dutch Sinter Klaas. However, the Saint Nicholas Society was not founded until 1835, almost half a century after the end of the war.[24] In a study of the "children's books, periodicals and journals" of New Amsterdam, the scholar Charles Jones did not find references to Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas.[25] Not all scholars agree with Jones's findings, which he reiterated in a book in 1978.[26] Howard G. Hageman, of New Brunswick Theological Seminary, maintains that the tradition of celebrating Sinterklaas in New York existed in the early settlement of the Hudson Valley. He agrees that "there can be no question that by the time the revival of St. Nicholas came with Washington Irving, the traditional New Netherlands observance had completely disappeared."[27] However, Irving's stories prominently featured legends of the early Dutch settlers, so while the traditional practice may have died out, Irving's St. Nicholas may have been a revival of that dormant Dutch strand of folklore. In his 1812 revisions to A History of New York, Irving inserted a dream sequence featuring St. Nicholas soaring over treetops in a flying wagon – a creation others would later dress up as Santa Claus.
But was Irving the first to revive the Dutch folklore of Sinterklaas? In New York, two years earlier John Pintard published a pamphlet with illustrations of Alexander Anderson in which he calls for making Saint Nicholas the patron Saint of New York and starting a Sinterklaas tradition. He was apparently assisted by the Dutch because in his pamphlet he included an old Dutch Sinterklaas poem with an English translation. In the Dutch poem, Saint Nicholas is referred to as 'Sancta Claus'.[12] Ultimately, his initiative helped Sinterklaas to pop up as Santa Claus in the Christmas celebration, which returned – freed of episcopal dignity and ties – via England and later Germany to Europe again.
The Saint Nicholas Society of New York celebrates a feast on 6 December to this day. The town of Rhinebeck in Dutchess County, New York, which was founded by Dutch and German immigrants, has an annual Sinterklaas celebration. It includes Sinterklaas' crossing the Hudson River and then a parade to the center of town.[28]
During the Reformation in 16th-17th-century Europe, many Protestants changed the gift bringer from Sinterklaas to the Christ Child or Christkindl (corrupted in English to Kris Kringle). Similarly, the date of giving gifts changed from 5 or 6 December to Christmas Eve.[29]
Sinterklaas in fiction[edit]
Sinterklaas has been the subject of a number of Dutch novels, films and television series, primarily aimed at children. Sinterklaas-themed children's films include Winky's Horse (2005) and the sequel Where Is Winky's Horse? (2007).
Sinterklaas-themed films aimed at adults include the drama Makkers Staakt uw Wild Geraas (1960), which won a Silver Bear award at the 11th Berlin International Film Festival; the romantic comedy Alles is Liefde (2007) and its Belgian remake Zot van A. (2010); and the Dick Maas-directed horror film Sint (2010).[30]
De Club van Sinterklaas is a Sinterklaas-themed soap opera aimed at children. The popular television series has run since 1999 and has had a number of spin-off series. Since 2001, a Sinterklaas "news" program aimed at children is broadcast daily on Dutch television during the holiday season, the Sinterklaasjournaal. The Dutch-Belgian Nickelodeon series Slot Marsepeinstein has aired since 2009.[31]

Brett Jensen is joined by former Gamecock and long-time NFL player Sheldon Brown, who discusses many different topics concerning the Panthers and NFL.
One of the questions he's asked is whether he'd rather face a running quarterback or a prototypical quarterback. The answer may surprise you.
Brown was also very candid about the future of the quarterback position and where he firmly believes where the position is headed.
But the most startling answer came from Brown when he was asked how you defend a running quarterback like Cam Newton. He tells what the number one objective is for every defensive player. It's an eye-opener, for sure.
