UnKochMyCampus: New Grassroots Effort Launches to Fight Koch Influence on Higher Education
Students across the country have launched a new effort to protest the influence of the petrochemical billionaire Koch brothers on their campuses. As part of their effort to influence the American political system, Charles and David Koch have flooded hundreds of universities with contributions intended to promote their economic agenda. Although the contributions go back for decades, the spigot has been opened wide in recent years; from only seven universities recorded to have Koch contributions in 2005 to over 250 by 2012. According to UnKochMyCampus, the new grassroots effort to oppose Koch influence on higher education, 390 different colleges and universities have received Koch money.
The UnKochMyCampus effort was launched by three young activists: Kalin Jordan, a graduate of Suffolk University, where the Koch-funded Beacon Hill Institute is housed; Lindsey Berger, a Missouri State University graduate and campus organizer, and Connor Gibson, a University of Vermont graduate and Greenpeace researcher. Jordan founded the Koch Free Zone campaign at Suffolk in 2013 to end the Koch influence over the Beacon Hill Institute, one of a nationwide network of right-wing think tanks. The UnKochMyCampus site has a organizer's guide to help students launch campaigns on their own campuses, including background research on the Koch brothers.
There are now at least four campuses that have active student efforts opposing Koch influence:
- Suffolk University in Boston, Mass.: KochFreeZone.org
- Florida State University, Tallahassee, Fla.: Progress Coalition
- University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kans.: Students for a Sustainable Future
- George Mason Unversity, Fairfax, Va.: Transparent GMU
All four universities have clear evidence of Koch influence over the educational system; George Mason houses the Mercatus Center, the Koch-powered deregulatory think tank. Florida State is the center of a scandal over a $1.5 million pledge from the Kochs that gave them control over hiring and curricula at the school. In 2001, the Kochs founded the University of Kansas Center for Applied Economics, modeled after the Mercatus Center, with a Koch lobbyist as its head.
There are also online efforts opposing Koch influence at the University of Arizona, Catholic University of America, and California State University at Northridge.
In September 2014, Gibson and Berger published an extended Greenpeace report entitled "Koch on Campus: Polluting Higher Education," that detailed the $49.5 million known to have flown from Koch foundations to over 250 campuses, based on IRS filings.
This money is in addition to the $185 million David Koch has given directly to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and $20 million to Johns Hopkins University, primarily for cancer research. Although those seem like substantial sums, those amounts are dwarfed by the billions of dollars in cuts in public funding for cancer research that have come as a result of Koch political advocacy.
In addition to the website, UnKoch My Campus has a Twitter account.
Allison Grimes, Mitch McConnell Challenger: "I Do" Believe in Climate Change
The U.S. Senate race in Kentucky, between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Kentucky's Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes, has been marked by competing acts of fealty to the coal industry.
"Mr. President, Kentucky has lost one-third of our coal jobs in just the last three years," one Grimes radio spot runs. "Now, your EPA is targeting Kentucky coal with pie in the sky regulations that are impossible to achieve."
"We know what Obama needs to wage his war on coal," McConnell retorted. "Obama needs Grimes."
However, there is now a point of contention between the two candidates: Grimes, unlike McConnell, recognizes, at least in rhetoric, the reality of climate change.
In an interview on September 25 with Matt Jones on Louisville talk radio station WKJK, Grimes said she believes in the science of climate change.
JONES: "Do you believe in climate change?"
GRIMES: "I do. You know, Mitch McConnell and I differ on this. He still wants to argue with the scientists. I do believe that it exists, but I think that we have to address, especially leaving this world in a better place, in a balanced manner. We've got to keep the jobs that we have here in the state, especially our good coal jobs."
This question came in the context of a longer discussion about Grimes' disagreement with President Barack Obama on the coal industry. "I think we have to rein in the EPA," Grimes said. "I think the regulations as they exist now are overburdensome."
The McConnell campaign extracted a clip of the conversation, ending Grimes' remarks at "it exists."
PBS Pulls Ads From Harper's to Punish Story on Koch's Ties to WGBH
According to the New York Post, the Public Broadcasting Service has suspended advertising in Harper's Magazine after the journal published a story critical of David Koch's relationship to public television. The billionaire carbon financier and Tea Party funder is on the board of Boston's PBS flagship station WGBH, and until a recent New Yorker exposé served on the board of New York City's WNET. Koch is also on the board overseeing WGBH's science program Nova.
The Harper's story, by journalist Eugenia Williamson, detailed the campaign by climate advocacy group Forecast the Facts to get WGBH to drop Koch (including a profile of the protest and petition delivery I led at WGBH's board meeting last November). Williamson was critical of Koch's potential influence over the public television station.The Post reports:
In the past, Harper's teamed up with PBS to sponsor a kickoff event timed to Ken Burns award-winning World War II documentary.
While there was an ad for the latest Burns saga "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History," PBS has pulled ads from the November and December issues. The ads were supposed to hype the box set CD editions of the documentary.
"I have to say I am shocked," John "Rick" MacArthur, the president and publisher of Harper's, told Post media reporter Keith J. Kelly. "You'd think PBS would be above that kind of tit-for-tat mentality."
"PBS has lost its moral compass," wrote Forecast the Facts campaign manager Emily Southard in a press release. "Instead of punishing its critics, PBS should pull itself away from the influence of David Koch and others who work to misinform Americans about climate change."
PBS earlier released a page of talking points which claimed the Harper's piece was "filled with many basic errors," but did not name any.
The political organizations founded and run by the Koch brothers — particularly the Cato Institute and Americans for Prosperity — are committed against public funding for the arts, including public television. Their advocacy over the past thirty years has successfully decimated federal and local support for public television. Through these organizations, Koch supports the miseducation of the public, including children, on the existential threat of climate change. Koch Industries is one of the nation's largest and most toxic polluters, and Koch works to prevent government efforts to protect the public from that pollution.
WGBH is providing David Koch not only a tax write-off but also social legitimacy, despite his being one of their greatest enemies.
Activists with Forecast the Facts and the Better Future Project will be protesting again in Boston and delivering a 400,000-signature petition at WGBH's upcoming board meeting on Wednesday, October 1.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) at the People's Climate March: "We Have to Stop CO2 From Hurtling Into the Atmosphere"
Taking part in the largest climate march in history, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said that Wall Street bankers will only act on climate change if people organize to make them do so. He also expressed succinctly the climate-policy challenge: "We have to stop CO2 from hurtling into the atmosphere."
During the PeoplesClimate.tv livestream of the People's Climate March, Hill Heat's Brad Johnson caught up with Schumer as he chatted with billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer. The senator said that action from pension funds is needed to get Wall Street to stop financing fossil fuels, because the bankers will not lead.
"The leadership has to come from the people," Schumer told me. "Pension funds could do a lot."
Wall Street plays a tremendous role making New York one of the richest cities in the world. It drives the global economy, which is powered on fossil fuels. Even as Mayor DeBlasio is working to decarbonize the city's energy supply, carbon financier David Koch is the richest man in the city. Meaningful global action on climate change, the type Schumer called for, will require Wall Street to fully divest from financing the fossil-fuel industry. Although pension-fund and other private action is helpful, what is truly needed is legislative action from Congress.

VIDEO: Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) Denies Global Warming at Candidate Debate
Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) stumblingly rejected the science of climate change in a debate for his re-election to Colorado's sixth district on Tuesday. His challenger, Democrat Andrew Romanoff, expressed his confidence that climate change is caused by humans and can be reversed. Visibly uncomfortable, Coffman paused and mumbled his answers to the two questions from the moderators, Denver Post reporters Jon Murray and Chuck Plunkett. Watch the video, courtesy of ColoradoPols.com:
Rep. Coffman does not believe that humans are contributing significantly to climate change, which is already damaging Colorado with increased drought, wildfire, and floods.
In reality, the carbon-dioxide greenhouse effect is a physical fact known since the 1800s. The only scientifically plausible systematic explanation for the rapid and continuing warming of the planetary climate since 1950 is industrial greenhouse pollution. The world's national scientific societies and the world's practicing climate scientists are in overwhelming agreement about this fact.
New York City Mayor Supports #FloodWallStreet Protest: "This Is About the Survival of the Earth"
"I think the First Amendment is a little more important than traffic."
With those words, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio vigorously defended #FloodWallStreet, the Occupy-style climate civil disobedience action that took place Monday on Wall Street.
De Blasio's remarks came in a press conference after he addressed the United Nations climate summit on Tuesday.
Asked if he thought "the protests are at all going too far," de Blasio expressed his disagreement.
No, I can't say they're going too far. I think, first of all, the issue is one of tremendous urgency and whenever you have an urgent issue, people utilize civil disobedience. It's not a new phenomenon. I thought, clearly, we had a situation where it was civil disobedience as it's supposed to be, meaning it was peaceful, the police handled it beautifully, and those who really wanted to get arrested got arrested. That was their choice. They were given every opportunity to not get arrested, but they chose to. But I think these are the kind of issues that bring out incredibly strong passions and they should – this is about the survival of the earth.
"The right of people to make their voices heard, regardless of their views, is a fundamental American value," de Blasio continued. "And we'll protect that value. I think there's going to be times, in this city – because we're an international capital – where we'll see protests that create inconvenience, but again, it's part of our responsibility as the hosts of the United Nations to handle that appropriately."
De Blasio was similarly forceful in his support for the People's Climate March, in which he participated. "This is not the first time you've seen a scenario where the people are leading and the leaders have to get out of the way and follow the will of the people," he said. "I think there's been a bad stereotype in public debate that the policy-makers have to somehow pull the people along and the people were unwilling to make change. I actually think the people – years ago – recognized what a profound threat the earth faces and are very comfortable that we have to make change and are ready to do what it takes."
Following Google's Lead, Facebook Plans to Cut Ties to ALEC
Facebook green czar Bill Weihl discusses his company at a Greenpeace event
We re-evaluate our memberships on an annual basis and are in that process now. While we have tried to work within ALEC to bring that organization closer to our view on some key issues, it seems unlikely that we will make sufficient progress so we are not likely to renew our membership in 2015.
The representative seems to have been referring a key incident at ALEC's annual meeting in Dallas this July. Michael Terrell, Google's senior policy counsel for energy and sustainability, made a presentation on behalf of then-members Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and eBay promoting clean energy development. The tech companies are major electricity consumers, because of their need for massive data farms, and have worked to power their installations with renewable energy. Chris Taylor, a state lawmaker attending the presentation, wrote that the lobbyists for Peabody Energy, Edison Electric, and the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity in attendance were unswayed.
Google and Facebook are both participants in Greenpeace's Cool IT effort to decarbonize the data farms. When I pressed the companies' green energy executives at a Greenpeace event in November of last year as the manager of the #DontFundEvil campaign why they had ALEC membership, they were unable to provide an answer.
The experience of the tech giants is a replay of what happened when renewable trade associations were part of the fossil-driven lobby group in 2012. The American Wind Energy Association and Solar Energy Industries Association were outvoted in a series of decisions that led to ALEC pushing anti-renewable legislation. Chastened by the result, AWEA and SEIA left ALEC when their one-year membership came up for renewal.
It seems that none of these companies bothered to look who is on ALEC's corporate board — lobbyists for fossil-fuel companies Koch Industries, Exxon Mobil, Peabody Energy, and Future Energy Holdings. One would think they could have Googled it.
Kochs Respond: President Obama's 'Radical International Energy Agenda' Is 'Harmful,' 'Destructive', 'Needless'
David Koch at the Met's Koch Plaza
The worst part is, President Obama knows that his energy agenda is harmful and will not help our country get back on the path to prosperity. In fact the President's proposal is so unpopular and destructive, even Harry Reid's Senate wouldn't dream of passing it, which is why he has bypassed Congress and taken his short-sighted, destructive energy policies to an international body.
In an accompanying video entitled "Obama's UN Speech Promises to Kill Jobs and Raise Energy Prices," Phillips rejects the science of man-made climate change, and falsely claims that reductions in carbon pollution would be economically harmful and environmentally meaningless.
"If all the numbers, facts, and figures that the left claims are true, their own numbers say this will make really no difference in saving the planet. We think they're wrong on the merits, but even if you accept their numbers, this will be nothing but a lose-lose situation for the American public."
The email links to a letter campaign in opposition to "the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed regulations calling for a 30 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030," calling on U.S. Senators to "stop the EPA from forcing more burdensome regulations on our families."
Text of supporter email:
President Barack Obama's Remarks at the UN Climate Summit: 'Our Citizens Keep Marching'
Addressing the United Nations climate summit in New York City, President Barack Obama called climate change a 'global threat' that has 'moved firmly into the present.' Hobbled by a deadlocked Congress, the president offered no new major policy initiatives.
"Our citizens keep marching," Obama said in reference to Sunday's historic People's Climate March. "We cannot pretend we do not hear them. We have to answer the call."
He also commented on the rise of extreme weather disasters around the globe, including flooding in Miami, drought and floods in the heartland, the West's year-long wildfire season, and the catastrophic damage of Superstorm Sandy. "No nation is immune," he said, recognizing that "some nations already live with far worse."
Obama did not directly mention fossil fuel production or his "all-of-the-above" approach to energy policy, unlike recent speeches on climate change to domestic audiences, in which he has celebrated the rise in domestic production of oil and natural gas. In fact, the speech did not include the words "coal," "oil," "fossil fuels," or "natural gas."
Hobbled by a legislative branch stymied by Republican opposition to climate action or international climate funding, Obama made no new grand pledges on behalf of the United States, instead highlighting the coming EPA regulation of carbon pollution from power plants, voluntary actions by corporate America, and a reduction in HFCs under the Montreal Protocol.
"I believe, in the words of Dr. King, that there is such a thing as being too late," Obama said near the end of his speech. As the United States is not currently leading the way in rapidly decarbonizing the global economy, that statement may serve to summarize his presidential legacy.
Google Drops American Legislative Exchange Council Over Climate Denial: 'They're Literally Lying'
On Monday, Google chairman Eric Schmidt announced that his company has ended its support for the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) because of its persistent climate-change denial. The decision came after a Schmidt made the announcement in response to a listener question on the Diane Rehm radio show.
"I think the consensus within the company was that that was some sort of mistake," Schmidt said of Google's support for ALEC, "and so we're trying to not do that in the future."
Pressed to explain further, Schmidt harshly described the conservative lobbying organization's opposition to climate action as "really hurting our children" and "making the world a much worse place" by "literally lying."
Well, the company has a very strong view that we should make decisions in politics based on facts — what a shock. And the facts of climate change are not in question anymore. Everyone understands climate change is occurring and the people who oppose it are really hurting our children and our grandchildren and making the world a much worse place. And so we should not be aligned with such people — they're just, they're just literally lying.Listen here:
ALEC president Lisa B. Nelson issued an angry press release following Schmidt's announcement, blaming the decision on "public pressure from left-leaning individuals and organizations who intentionally confuse free market policy perspectives for climate change denial."
Disclosure: As the campaign manager for Forecast the Facts, I founded the "Don't Fund Evil" campaign in June 2013 challenging Google to stop funding climate-denial groups such as the Competitive Enterprise Institute and ALEC, and climate-denial politicians such as Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
For over a year, Google representatives stonewalled over the company's conflicting stand on climate change and its political support for climate deniers. Google's clean-energy lead Gray Demasi had no answer for why his company supported ALEC, when I asked him at a November 2013 Greenpeace green tech event.Now, Schmidt's words echo an opinion piece I wrote in December 2013 on the eve of ALEC's annual DC conference, which featured a keynote by Cruz:
Unlike ALEC and Cruz, Google employees support scientific facts. Unlike ALEC and Cruz, Google employees are investing in a future powered by 100 percent renewable energy.
The "Don't Fund Evil" call to drop ALEC was joined in December 2013 by the Sierra Club, SumOfUs, RootsAction and the Center for Media and Democracy. The coalition of climate, corporate, and good-government organizations mobilized over 230,000 citizens to petition the search giant. In addition, Google was the target of a shareholder resolution brought by Walden Asset Management challenging Google's support for the anti-climate group.
Added pressure came in August when Google competitor Microsoft left ALEC. At the beginning of September, over 50 organizations, including several labor unions, environmental organizations, racial justice groups, and other progressive organizations signed on to a public letter asking Google to follow suit.
Google's decision to drop ALEC is an important first step in restoring the integrity of its 'don't be evil' motto. Unfortunately, the company is still financing extremist groups like the 'CO2 Is Life' Competitive Enterprise Institute and dozens of denier politicians. If Eric Schmidt wants to be taken seriously, he has to do a lot more cleaning up. It's time for Susan Molinari, who pushed Google into this situation, to go.
Forecast the Facts and SumOfUs have since expanded the Don't Fund Evil campaign into the Disrupt Denial campaign, which calls on all corporations to stop financing climate-denial politicians.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Dec. 25, 1956 r H. E. GETTEL VARIABLE TRAY BOX Filed Dec. s, 1955- ATIORNEY United States Patent r 2,775,498 VARIABLE TRAY Box I Henry E. Gettel, Dallas, Tex. Application December 3, 1953, Serial No. 395,913 4 Claims. (Cl. 312201):
I This invention relates to boxes or containers having trays, and in particular to a variable tray box in which trays can be added or deleted to accommodate the box to different purposes.
Tray boxes are used for mony purposes, such as for storing fishing tackle, cards, screws, tools, etc. Many boxes are intended to remain stationary While others are portable. Particularly in the latter type of box, but also in the former, the design, size and weight of the box are important. The simpler and less cumbersome a tray box is, the easier his to carry. It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a tray box of extremely simple construction in which all unnecessary elements are eliminated and in which the size and weight are kept' to a minimum. Y
It is impossible to obtain a tray box of fixed capacity and dimensions which is suitable for all purposes, or even suitable for any given purpose where the need for increasing or decreasing the storage space might arise. This is particularly apparent to those who use portable tray boxes such as fishermen, mechanics, etc. If a tackle box of the usual construction, for example, is purchased, its size is fixed. Such a box cannot bevaried in accordance with the varying needs of the fisherman. When a fisherman goes on one expedition he may need more or lesstackle than on his previous expedition, nonetheless with the usual formof box he cannot vary his storage capacity or the weight or size of the box itself. It is accordingly another object of my invention to provide a tray box which is variable in size'and storage capacity.
Other faults common with boxes such as the usual fishing tackle box or tool box, are that the trays are not readily accessiblesome trays must be removed to get at a desired tray, that all the tackle or tools are not visible, and that the trays do not remain attached to the box proper. "Often where loose trays are provided the contents thereof will be spilled. Therefore, yet another object of my invention is to provide a tray box in whichall the trays are readily accessible, in which trays remain attached to the box at all times in a stable manner, and in which the trays. are each individually accessible. J r r These and other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tray box constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view with some portions broken away.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a retaining means and spacer element.
Figure 4 is a perspective view, of a modified form of my invention.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of another form of re taining means.
. 'Si'milar reference characters in the several views representsimilar elements.
Referring now particularly to the drawing, the tray 2,775,498 Patented Dec. 25, 1956 prises a top plate 10, a bottom plate 12, and spaced intermediate plates 14, 16 and 18. Each of these plates can be formed of a fiat sheet of transparent material, such as a plastic, and each is provided along one side with a flange 20. The plates are assembled with the flanges 20 invertically spaced relationship.
One side of the plates are interconnected in spaced relationship by means of the flanges 20. A supporting column 22 is used for .thispurpose. Thecolumn is made up of a series of'individual spacer elements 24 shown in Figure 3. Each of the spacer elements has a depending threaded stud 26, a threaded stud-receiving opening 28, a reduced section 30 and a cylindrical body The plate and trays 34 are interconnected at two spaced points remote from flanges 20 by columns 36 and 38 formed of spacer elements 24. In the preferred form the latter columns are at the opposite or rear side with respect to flanges 20. Also the rear columns are positioned adjacent the lateral sides or ends of the plate whereas column 22 is positioned. centrally of the front side.
The columns are formed by assembling a number of elements 24, one element being provided intermediate each. pair of plates. Reduced portion 30 extends into the plate and the studs 26 are screwed into the studreceiving openings 28. i g A bolt 46 is used-to connect to the top plate, and a nut is used below the bottom plate.-=-The main body portion 32 serves to space the plates.- The springs, of column 22 are placed on each. member 24 as it is assembled; The trays'34 pivot on;-body=-32. of therear columns. Y i I i A resilient deformable spring 40 is adapted to be positioned on each of the spacers 24 ofcolumn 22. The end turns 42and 44 closely grip body 32 wherea's the cent-ral turns are spaced therefrom. The spring is formed of the usual spring wire and can. be -deformed,-that is,
38 at any one point.
As seen inFigures 1' and12, the spring 40 on column.
22 normally abuts the inner front edge of the trays 341.. Also it is seen from the drawings that the trays when received within the plates, abut each other in such a manner that they cannot pivot rearwardly. The trays can only pivot outwardly in the manner illustrated in Fig; 2. The deformable member 40 serves to maintain the trays in closed position. outwardly, the tray ispushed at its'rea'r side with suflicient force to deform the spring. When the spring is deformed the tray will move as indicated.
A stop comprising depending flange 48 connected to each of the plates can be provided at the rear thereof if desired. r z
In Figure 5 I show a modified form of resilient .restraining means and comprising a spring 60 constructed similatly tospring 40and a deformable rubber or plastic encasement element 62. The retaining means of Fig. 5' can be deformed similarly to that of Fig. 3.
In Fig. 4 I show another form of my invention. In this form four groups of pivotal trays 70, 72, 74 and 76 are provided. Central sliding trays 78 are also shown. The upper sliding trays 78 are shown to cooperate with square edged pivoting trays. With such construction it is necessary to slide trays 78 to one side in order to pivot a tray 70 outwardly. However, the lower trays 70 are shown to have rounded corners 80. These trays can be pivoted outwardly without moving the sliding trays 78. Trays 78 are resiliently retained in their normal position by means of spring clip elements 82 positioned at each side of the plates.
When it is desired to move a;tray,
The-rear columns 36-and 38can be formed by spacer elements86 shown in Fig. 6. These-spacer elements are 7 shown to consist of a main body portion 88, a reduced intermedlate portion 90, a further reduced lower portion 92 portion 90 cooperates with a suitableopening provided :in
the trays and reduced portion 92 with an opening providedin the plates.
Handles98, 100 can be provided centrally of the top plates for convenient carrying, Itis obvious that straps or other devices may be used. The handles can be formed of a-resilientmaterialand snappedinto position in the bosses provided on the top, plate.
From the foregoing-description it is apparent that I havedeviseda-tray boxin which the gear carried in all traysis readily accessible. All of the trays can be individuall-y pivoted outwardly to expose their contents. Furthermore, this is accomplished without detaching the trays from-the box. The-simplicity of construction is also an advantage since it reduces the size and weight. The unique spring latch-arrangement further contributes-to simplicity and reduction in the cost of a tray box. Special morticing, etc. for conventional latches is unnecessary.
Another important feature of my invention lies in the fact that the tray box can beaccommodated to varying purposes. creased-in a simple-manner. To reduce the number of trays it is only necessary to remove the upper studs, re-
move the upper plate and then remove a sufficientnumber of trays and intermediate plates and spacerelements. Likewise the size can be increased by removing the upper plate, adding other intermediate plates, more trays, spacer elements and springs.
While I have shown and described a preferred form of-my invention, itwill be understood that variations in mally received between said plates and being pivotal'outof abutting relationship to a position in which the contents thereof are exposed, means for releasably retaining said traysin said normal position comprising a resilient distortable member connected to said plates-and normally bearing against both of said trays to retain them in nor-- mal position, said member being distortable by urging one of said trays thereagainst topivot the latter tray outwardly of said plates and said member retaining theother of said trays in said normal position during distortion thereof.

Cardcaptors: A Mystic Liveblogging:
The Long Marathon Madison can't run in the marathon because of a sprained ankle, but as long as she can watch Sakura, that's all right. The girls are all impressed as usual...except one. Meilin brags about how Li and her are going to take first and second place. Why aspire for second? After Sakura and Li's practice, Meilin tells Sakura she's going to leave her in her dust. "You'll leave me in your dust?" Li gives her a dose of reality by pointing out she's never run a long-distance race before, and indeed while she initially shows incredible speed in running the first of 5 laps, she becomes so tired out that she doesn't even complete the lap and her character model outline shows. She tries to excuse it by saying she wasn't feeling good, but Li knows it's because she's never run any more than the 100-yard dash. Sakura, last year's champion of the race, describes the long run throughout the suburban area, but she doesn't mind since she loves running. Tori sardonically remarks she's got a lot of practice by waking up late for school. Meanwhile, at the Li residence, Meilin sets off immediately after dinner to train for the marathon. Wei warns her she'll get stomach cramps from running so soon, but Meilin ignores the warning. At night, she stops at the penguin slide, her stomach hurting, when Wei shows up to offer her a blanket. He imparts words of wisdom, telling her she should focus on her breathing rhythm and move slower, conserving her energy for the finish line. It turns out Li felt bad for the girl, so he told Wei to help her out. A little segment of her training keeping those warm words in mind shows, and she feels a lot better about herself. It's the day of the big race, and Meilin of course taunts Sakura about her "top trainer". She brags Sakura will not be able to keep up with her, complete with Evil Laugh. Someone was having fun with her voice. And yet, the girl tries so hard that I actually want her to win. Julian and Tori are going to be waiting at the finish line cheering Sakura on, and Madison and Kero are reporting the race sports channel style. And the race is on, as Sakura, Li, and Meilin easily take the leads and head off just around the corner.
No Time For Sleep Dad's late! He rushes to the kitchen and prepares to apologize for the delayed breakfast, but to his surprise, Sakura and Tori have prepared breakfast for him instead. They wanted to help out around the house to relieve him of extra work besides his lectures and related commitments. Nice kids. Dad promises it'll only be for another week, and heads off. Sakura tells Madison about how he has this research paper he has to finish and present at a seminar. Madison asks if he has ever done a lecture before. You don't remember that Time episode lecture where he talks about time? She also is amazed Sakura is actually getting along with Tori, but of course he's okay, sometimes. Sakura runs into Julian ordering a book for Aiden Avalon, since Tori had to run late. He compliments Sakura on helping her dad out, and gives her the book. Dad has to stay up late yet again to finish his paper. Tori notices Sakura looking through the door crack and gestures her away. He prepared a snack, but he tells her not to hang around too long as he's busy. Dad tells her he'll have to stay at the university for another couple of nights, saying that the kids will have to bear with a grumpy old man, but Sakura refuses the remark, as he's not grumpy at all! He tells her about his anthropology field, about the mysteries of the past, the ancient civilizations that may have recorded their culture in a way we haven't discovered yet. Now, it's Sakura's bedtime. Kero isn't initially interested in going to the university to learn, but he's bribed with food. Sakura and Madison encounter three teenagers there, who show them to the lecture. They tell of how popular and exciting Aiden's lectures are. Um...who are you people? Most students doze off during lectures, at least from what I've seen. But of course, they're his assistants! It's off to Aiden's room next, where Sakura comes bearing snacks. He is grateful for his assistants helping him out with the research and Sakura and Tori for helping him out with the chores. Just as Sakura tells him it's nothing, magic pixie dust puts him in a small snooze. The girls, not noticing the dust, pass it off as Dad not getting enough sleep and decide to get coffee for everyone. However, the fairy puts the assistants to sleep as well. Not too hard to guess which card it is.◊ Sakura is worried that it might prevent Dad from finishing the paper, so it's show time! Madison is disappointed she didn't get to bring the costume she spent this episode planning and designing, but she'll get some time to dream about what could have been. Why are her and the assistants in a deep sleep while Dad only got a light snooze, though? Meh. It escapes, causing more mischief in another room, and Sakura eventually chases it back to Dad's office, where it gets Kero. In desperation, she uses Windy to snag the fairy. Um...isn't that going to mess up your dad's papers? Regardless, she manages to nab the card, but she trips off a stack of books, and...oh dear.... Staring at the broken computer screen amongst the fallen books and papers, Sakura wonders... "Kero, Which card will return things to the way they were?" "I wish there was a card that could instantly fix everything, Sakura, but there some things even magic can't do." When her dad reenters the room, she confesses that she just wanted to get him coffee because she knew how tired he was, but now she's ruined everything. Poor girl. She tried so hard to help him. Dad simply tells her that it's his fault that he didn't have enough time to spend with his favourite girl, and tries to cheer her up by bringing her home to a nice dinner. You're not mad? Sakura is still depressed as even her dad's forgiveness won't automatically make up for the work lost. Tori, noticing his sister's guilt hasn't gone away, makes her pancakes. "You'll never cheer up if you don't eat." Suddenly, they hear the sound of books falling. Sakura goes to pick things up, and she desperately wants to help somehow to make up for what she's done. Luckily, he's finished the research, so all he has to do is rewrite it. He just needs a capable assistant. Sakura enthusiastically accepts the job proposal, and together, they'll finish the job. Aww.... It's nice that parents will forgive even for the times we screw up. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone!
Practice Makes Perfect It's just another school day. Sakura and Madison are discussing usual school stuff, like tests, hunting Clow Cards...Wait, Clow Cards? Where? No, Li, it was just a trick by Kero. Sakura is unnerved by this sudden outburst. After all, it did seem like they were beginning to get along based on the last few episodes. Of course, this gossip lures Meilin in, prompting Sakura to change the subject to the singing competition Madison is practising for. Meilin brags about her singing ability, but when Madison asks if she wants to come to practice with her friends, she claims she's too busy helping Li. While everyone is still on the topic, Nikki tells another ghost story of a singing voice heard in the music room at night. Great, now Sakura is unable to concentrate on the music lesson. Just as the teacher asks who wrote the piece she was playing, she senses something strange. After hearing the story, Kero reveals that the voice in the music room must be the work of, eh, it's probably just a ghost. What a reassuring thought for Sakura, but he's just playing with her. Obviously it's a Clow Card, yet she still is scared of the possibility of a ghost. Kero is disappointed that she decided to chicken out even after the other 23 cards, but, er, his meal's getting cold! Tori and Julian also heard the ghost story, it turns out. A "reliable source" informed Tori that the janitor permanently quit his job in fear of the voice in the music room. And yet, Julian is intrigued as he heard the voice was quite beautiful. That's motivation enough for Sakura to get a recorder and go ghost-hunting. If there's something strange In the neighbourhood, Who ya gonna call? Cardcaptors! The unlikely team of petite paranormal investigators arrive at Reedington Elementary School, but not without frightening each other first. They're off to a good start, arguing amongst themselves. Kero taunts Li, which gets him annoyed at being called "kid", and then directs his attention to Meilin. Li is still unconvinced that she should be hanging around, but she asks about Madison, who's in charge of video taping. "I could have brought a camera too! It's so unfair!" Oh, Meilin. Her whining is suddenly cut off by the sound of a lovely disembodied singing voice. After it! Madison seems to recognize the song, but can't quite fully recall it yet. Sakura, still skittish, suggests it's just one of the music students practising, but they never practice this late at night. Against her will, the team continues onward towards the music room. Sakura realizes that she recognizes the song as well, but Meilin scares off the spirit in a blur filter by opening the door. Good job. You've...helped Sakura identify it as the song Madison was practising for the competition. The song begins again, and Li beats Kero to identifying it. Though rudely interrupted, Kero explains, "The Song card is able to sing." Besides the Captain Obvious statement, it imitates the best singer in the area. Meilin believes it to be her, but her whiny voice scares it off. They follow the spirit to the rooftop, where Kero instructs Madison to sing to it perfectly for it to reveal its form. She's not sure she can do it, since she hasn't been able to hit the high notes, so Meilin's going to take over instead! Yeah, right. Kero relegates that idea to a backup plan instead. With a bit of coaxing, Madison begins the performance. She starts off flat, sounding strained. And yet, it's enough to pique the spirit's interest. As she continues, the voice slowly becomes purer, as if she merely needed some time to filter out nervous emotions. As she repeats the lyrics, the undulating ball of sound waves begins to resonate along with her, and the two sing together in perfect counterpoint: A twinkle in the night sky far, far away,
A golden star I gazed upon in my dream.
On a sleepless evening I sing alone,
Tomorrow I'll sing with you on the wings of a dream. On a sleepless evening I sing alone,
Tomorrow I'll sing with you...on the wings of a dream. The majesty of mortal and supernatural's duet reveals a form just as enrapturing as the melody, to be returned to card form, to happiness in oils◊. But alas, Sakura forgot to record the performance. No problem. Li informs her she could just summon it, pleased at deflating Kero's pride by beating him to the advice. So the episode concludes with an encore. Pity it's tainted by some unfitting dramatic music at the end.
No Problem Too Small I really love this little recurring BGM tune that plays in the intro. Can't say the same for Madison's tacky Girlish Pigtails hairstyle this episode, though. Madison has come over to Sakura's house bringing homemade strawberry shortcake. Unfortunately, before Kero can dig in, there's some "official Cardcaptor business" to attend to: taking Sakura's measurements to another catchy ditty. Yeah, no weird implications here. Even more not so that her clothes are shown on the bed as the camera zooms upwards on her Alice In Wonderland◊ costume. Kero, growing impatient with this dressup game, just wants to eat, but he is interrupted again as Sakura's Clow sense is tingling. She tells Kero to stay behind with Madison, who tells her in all seriousness to be careful. Oh, what's the worst that can happen? The Clow Cards are often cute pixies anyway. Slowly, she feels around, leading her to investigate her dad's room. She thinks she notices something, but the window merely shows the happy, sunny environment outside. She notices this tiny glowing white dot, which she underestimates. That's a bad mistake. When she wakes up from being touched by the dot, she notices that everything has grown bigger, even her magic key. Upon realizing what just happened, a breeze violently blows her outside. Kero and Madison, hearing her screams, notices her key just lying there in her dad's room, not knowing what just happened. Outside, Sakura is about to become a cat's lunch, but luckily, she manages to get away by a leap of faith onto a flower. Unfortunately, a praying mantis is waiting to capture her as well, and she only gets away thanks to the cat stomping on it. Inside, Madison and Kero prepare to face their own threat: Tori and Julian. Madison hastily justifies Sakura's absence by claiming she just went grocery shopping for bit and will be back very soon. Sakura meets up with the devilishly mischievous pixie at the bathtub, who giggles as she furiously relays how she was nearly eaten and cheerfully jumps away. Madison continues to distract the two, though Tori is suspicious. Suddenly, she melodramatically drifts around acting dizzy, then falling behind the couch. Then she's perfecly fine. ...What? The Mini adventure continues as Sakura bounces on a sponge to get down from the tub. A mad chase against the squealing pixie ensues, leading Sakura to the kitchen and a giant Tori wearing...plushie slippers? Sakura remarks he looks like a monster from down there. No kidding, it's like he killed a stuffed animal and used its body for shoes. As expected, he makes loud, slow giant steps, almost towards the Clow spirit, but Sakura stops him in time by yelling out to him. He thinks he heard her, but brushes it off. The pixie gets away up the stairs, but just when it seems hopeless, a larger-than-life Kero shows up as her steed. He explains that The Little◊ card doesn't just shrink objects, but magical powers as well, which is why the staff turned back into the key. But all Sakura has to do is touch the card again to turn back to normal. Still, she'll need the key to be rid of the pest for good, yet Madison has it. This can't be good. Madison notices the diminutive sprite in the hallway. Intrigued, she raises her finger. Don't touch it! Fortunately, Sakura saves the day and grabs onto Little before Madison's Idiot Ball could put her in any danger, proceeding to seal it away. Well, that was certainly one of the more dangerous cards, even if it doesn't look the part. Elated at her capture, she forgot her restored size was too large for Kero's back. Just another day as the guardian beast. Everyone gobbles away at the strawberry shortcake in the living room, leaving Kero with this teensy tiny bit with only one lousy strawberry. Fortunately, that's no problem too small for the Little card, with which Kero now can munch away at a syrup-coated strawberry mountain. "Well, I guess that's one way of using the card."

Double Take Just another day shopping downtown wearing floppy ears for Sakura. She's ready to go skating, but alas, she still has to finish cleaning the house. Meanwhile, Meilin wants to try on a wedding dress, but of course, Li doesn't share her enthusiasm. She catches him staring at Sakura, disappointed he's more interested in her, but then, a miracle! She knocks down the stack of plush penguins smiling all the way. "So, Li, can't you see that I'm the one that understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see, you belong with me?" Seriously girl, how petty. Li is still not giving a hoot, sensing something suspicious about the whole thing. The Sakura doppelganger is still up to no good, vandalizing an entire store next while the real Sakura is vacuuming. Julian suggests there should be two of her, but she realizes she'll have to do twice as many chores. Speaking of which, the other Sakura passes by the house. Sensing someone coming, she flees just as Tori opens the window, remarking his sister would probably clone herself just to spite him. Sakura's friends are rather unenthusiastic about her arrival at school the next day, but are pretty nervous about telling her. Fortunately, in comes Meilin's loud mouth to relay the account of her vandalism. Sakura of course tells everyone she wouldn't do such a thing, which merely leaves everyone confused as the culprit looked just like her. Well, everyone but Meilin, still determined to take Li's attention away from her. All he has to say to Sakura is, "Be careful." Distracted, she drops her baton during practice. Nikki reassures her that at least she's more worried about that than her evil twin damaging her reputation. Very reassuring. The clone continues her trail of trouble, vandalizing flowers and destroying children's sandcastles, which gets Nikki's and Chelsea's attention. The real Sakura broods over this issue when suddenly, she sees her image passing by smiling all the way. Kero tells her first, "Don't Panic". This time, Kero instructs her to use the Clow Cards in a different way. A children's card game? Eh, tarot reading. Close enough. "Ancient cards of Clow, give me vision now. Show me if you may, who is standing in my way." The first card reveal Windy, which creates channels of connection and means that the rogue cards know who she is. Shadow, Water(y), and Illusion are the next clues, which the card can use for guidance. The Flower represents what the card is after. Whatever does that mean? Um...Tori was standing amongst flowers, so it must be him! Yeah, Dub-Induced Plot Hole. Doppelganger Sakura leads Tori deep into the woods to find something she's missing, which is never a good sign. She instructs him to go further, just a little bit more, right off the cliff! Sakura chases after him, but her Clow senses suddenly go muddy at the forest. Li shows up, prepared to activate the Lasin Board as Tori hangs on for dear life. Long live the king. The malicious twin is prepared to stand triumphant over her real counterpart's brother, but is shocked to hear that he knows she isn't really her sister. He inquires the spirit as to her true nature, coming to the realization that she's lost. "Everybody gets lost sometimes, and we have to help each other find the pathway back home again." These words seemed to penetrate within her soul. A wayward spirit who could find no place in the world outside the Clow Book? A lonely incarnation jealous of her double having a loving family? It's left ambiguous. Yet, it's amazing how even when this show pulls out one of the usual stock plots, it still manages to surprise you. Expect the unexpected, after all. The true Sakura, concerned over her brother's severe injury, confronts the now guilt-ridden soul. Wind and water fail to perturb the body. Kero refers to it as a "helix", symbolizing a hidden, hard to find form. Sakura now has to identify this form with her three clues and the doppelganger imitating her moves to the point of even holding an invisible staff. "Shadow moves like a body's twin. Water reflects, and Illusions aren't the real thing!" The Clow Card is Mirror◊! The spirit's true form rises over to gently kiss Tori's wounded body, sorry for the harm she has inflicted, and willingly prepares to return to her power confined. Its sadness nonetheless caused Sakura to pause for a bit. Back at home, Kero congratulates her on her latest capture, yet Sakura recognized that it wanted to be captured. Tori acts ungrateful for his sister bringing food, claiming he could have walked downstairs himself, but the doctor said to keep off it for a week. As Sakura walks out of the room to get the door, she tells him she's "just sorry", leading him to suspect something rotten about the pancakes. Friends have come over to wish him well, but Tori seems to not remember a thing. Sakura is nonetheless upset about the ordeal, as she feels she's putting the ones close to her in danger by taking up the position of Cardcaptor, but she reaffirms her commitment to finish the job, an encouraging sentiment. Yet Kero claims behind her back that she's going to need powers she dreamed she never had. Ominous foreshadowing! ...everything's going to be perfectly fine with Sakura's relations next episode, isn't it?
No Way Out Sakura's late getting home again, and so a frantic rollerblading run is on. She manages to avoid slamming into moving men holding up a couch, but a cat causes her to lose balance! She's saved from falling by a mysterious woman in shades, remarking about how cats are such troublemakers. She doesn't stop to talk, but merely says she'll see Sakura again tomorrow. That next day, she still hasn't learned her lesson about keeping time, but maybe that woman could give her some pointers. After all, she's the new math teacher.
Layla McKenzie
Oh, yes, Ms. McKenzie. As a kid, she creeped me out a lot, She, along with the Harry Potter professors and other such characters, was the reason why I used to believe my teachers had hidden magical powers involving some dark school conspiracy. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Li instantly distrusts the woman, as he senses something strange. While discussing matters with the crew, Ms. Mckenzie suddenly shows up out of nowhere, snooping in on the conversation and going into a math derail. She tells Li he's a great math student, so she doesn't know why he has to be on guard. Proceeding on to the girls, she then recognizes Madison's aptitude, Meilin's struggle, and Sakura's commendable performance. Sakura thanks her teacher for yesterday. "Destiny, I guess." Nikki tells the girls about good luck amulets, which instantly catches Sakura's attention, though not as much as Meilin's. Trying to save face, she badly attempts to feign disinterest, but that doesn't stop her from dragging Li over to the vendor. Sakura senses something wicked this way come, and at the sound of a bell, the fearless foursome are transported into a giant labyrinth. Okay, technically, it should be called a maze, since labyrinths are defined as only having one path, but whatever. I'm puzzled as to why the show still displays her using her Clow senses, since it's not like the other mystical obstacles were anything else. Li informs the team that it will only vanish when they find the exit, so they should work together. Meilin is suspicious of Sakura's intentions, but she's at the point where she tells her to give it a rest. They try following a single wall, but that only leads them back to the beginning. The next plan: the Lasin Board, but its magnetic field (?) gets neutralized. So how about flying over the entire structure? Nope, the maze has countermeasures against such cheating. Meilin gets increasingly frustrated and kicks her foot against the wall, which doesn't help according to Li. Sakura, however, gets some inspiration yet again. Cutting through the wall should do the trick...or not. The wall merely regenerates quickly, and, in response to Sakura's attempted "cheating", it shifts the dimensions from 2-D to 3-D. Li manages to rescue Madison in the transition, and they find out that there's more to it than the 3-D Leap. The labyrinth has now become something like one of those abstract paintings, with an assortment stairs and passageways that seem to have no rhyme or reason. Further complicating the madness, it has taken on Super Mario Galaxy physics, as they find Meilin trapped and sideways. Li's Element: Wind spell has no effect on the Gravity Screw, so they resort to a different plan: taking the stairs. It's getting late and the Avalon family is getting worried. Tori goes off looking for her. The team continues to make their way through the twisted dimensions as Meilin cries for help, saying she's sideways. Wait, how would she know? From her view, it would be everyone else who is sideways, unless it's the gravitational pull, but then wouldn't it still be felt under her direction, unless it's the Earth's, and...why am I trying to make sense of this? Anyways, to progress further, the trio has to go inside a dark passageway, so they tell Meilin to count so they can figure out her relative direction. Within the tunnel, her voice suddenly goes silent and outside, they can no longer see her. Sakura gets the genius, unexpected idea of going back the way they came, but before they can do that, a bell sounds and a shadow approaches. No need to fear, it's Meilin! But before the happy reunion can go on long, yet another shadow approaches. Ms. Mckenzie shows up in front of the class to teach them the subject of life. It turns out she was trying to warn them of the impending maze with her magic bell, but it was already too late. She tells them the solutions don't always appear as they expect. In other words, she cheats by blasting away the wall. Though I guess it's only fair. The maze strongly hinted at cheating itself. And that's the lesson for today. Sakura is prepared to seal away The Maze◊, but she's nervous about doing it around Ms. Mckenzie. Understanding her cue, she turns around so she can finish the job. It goes over to Ms. Mckenzie, but she has no apparent need for it as she gives it to Sakura. Tori shows up to reprimand her sister for staying out this late, but as Sakura tries to wildly justify the situation, Ms. Mckenzie apologizes on her behalf. Suddenly, another crisis strikes! Meilin and Sakura realize that the amulet shop is closed, but Ms. Mckenzie has them covered. Parting ways, Li admits to being mildly impressed by Sakura, and he then has to deal with Meilin, who is so eager to show him her new amulet. Ms. Mckenzie too has to go, but it's been a pleasure meeting Tori. The episode ends with her almost vanishing off into the distance.

Return To The Future To get this out of the way, no, it doesn't involve flux capacitors, 80's cars, or 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity. Well, there's sort of the latter, actually. It's that dream again, this time featuring Ms. Mckenzie's shadowy figure amidst cherry blossom petals. Why am I thinking she looks like Carmen Sandiego in this pose? Sakura wakes up from fixating on her ominous eye to realize...she's actually up early for once! She even lets Kero sleep in as she heads off to enjoy some scenery. Still pondering the significance of her dream, she arrives at the shrine, mumbling about how fond she is of Ms. Mckenzie despite Li's distrust. As usual, she appears out of nowhere eavesdropping. Her excuse for showing up so coincidentally was that she's helping out at her father's shrine, and who else shows to help but (gasp) Julian! While sweeping the grounds, Sakura gets a flashback moment of the last episode's ending where Li tells her to be wary of Ms. Mckenzie. Wait, what? Why can't the dubbers ever keep these flashbacks consistent? For helping out, Sakura and Julian get shrine garden chestnuts. Julian tells her that they'll walk together to school, but before she can go, Ms. Mckenzie has something to tell her: Nothing! After all, she can tell her later. I've got a bad feeling about this. Sakura is ready to show Madison her new gift, but Li seems pretty angry about helping Ms. Mckenzie out. But in comes Meilin to save the day by snapping at Li for leaving her sight! Of course, she thinks the chestnuts are for her, but Sakura rolls with it and Meilin even demonstrates how to peel them. You know, Li, she's acting nice for once, so you don't need that grumpy face. But he's too fixated on Ms. Mckenzie's seemingly friendly smile. That night, Sakura's dad gets the memo that Ms. Mckenzie is her new math teacher. She's surprised that he seems to know her, and he tells her that Ms. Mckenzie happened to be Tori's math teacher before she went off to England, and yet they seemed to not know each other last episode. Meanwhile, at the shrine, it's a full moon tonight, and Ms. Mckenzie is standing there with a grin as a swirling shadowy mass gathers in the sky. Something wicked this way comes. Kero senses the presence of a Clow Card here, with Li coming along later. Meilin had to stay home to finish her book report, knowledge which Kero revels in, but Sakura points out it's because she's new to the school. Madison didn't come either since it was too late at night for Sakura to call her, so it's just the two of them then. And Kero. After an hour of searching, they couldn't find anything. Kero decides to go get drinks for all of them, even Li, as he grumbles about getting one for "The Kid". Both Sakura and Li resent that remark. So now they have some alone time to discuss matters. Li thinks the card might just be hiding, and Sakura points out that they found the Maze card here too. This shifts the discussion to Ms. Mckenzie, which leaves Li increasingly frustrated at Sakura's lack of caution around her. As he finally begins to leave, the card strikes. Kero's back with drinks a little too late as Sakura gets sucked into the dimensional rift within the tree. Looking at the full moon, Kero realizes that it's The Return◊ card! Sakura awakens to a purple-tinted world where the tree is in full blossom. She sees a shadowy figure in the distance and goes to hide within the tree branches with the Jump card's help. Um...wouldn't anyone notice something strange about someone in the distance suddenly having inhuman jumping ability? Anyways, Tori shows up to investigate the tree's strange aura, in his junior high school outfit but still looking the same as ever. Ms. Mckenzie meets up with him, knowing about his ability to see magical things others cannot. He tells her that Sakura just turned six, which means this is a vision from the past! Kero tells Li that the Return card requires a lot of energy, but a combination of the sacred tree's magical power and the full moon was sufficient. Wonder if all that adds up to 1.21 Gigawatts. Back in the past, Tori's next meeting has started. Ms. Mckenzie reveals that she too has special powers, and that is how she could sense his little sister. She says they are connected by someone special, someone she cannot reveal now, someone he can't know about until about 40 episodes later. Yep, that trope rears its ugly head. The next vision shows Tori and Ms. Mckenzie at the "Chinese" festival, where she reveals she's going away! No! She asks Tori not to tell Sakura about any of this as she gazes at the full moon. "When...a disaster...befalls the world." Suddenly, she turns to Sakura. It's not just a vision! "It is...our destiny." After a fade to white, Sakura shows up perfectly normal at the tree, ready to seal up the black maelstrom that is the Time Card's Distaff Counterpart. Li had to give up a lot of his energy to use The Time card and bring Sakura back to the future. As Sakura thanks the exhausted Li, Kero merely mentions one word to the full moon: "Yue". At the episode's conclusion, Ms. Mckenzie smiles at the events, her eyes in a sinister narrowing.

Buyer Beware Sakura's cooking dumplings for the very first time! She reaches over to drop one in the pan when she suddenly flies backward! Forgot to check the temperature, her dad sees. He doesn't mind. Everyone makes mistakes, and there's always next time. Tori decides to grab one to eat, remarking that since Sakura didn't make them, they're safe to eat. Just another day of sibling love. Nikki is nervous about taking the gym test, but when it's her turn, she clears the jump! She owes it all to some "magical" card which looks suspiciously like The Jump card. Cue long, inconsistent flashback in which it looks like she nabs it with the Wood card. Her memory must be pretty bad. Incidentally, the Clow Card lookalikes come from Maggie's shop. Who's the delivery person sending her this stuff? Sceptical of their supposed magic, Sakura and Madison head over to investigate. Meilin, of course, denies any interest in them. So it turns out they came from some stranger company. Nothing suspicious in the least. Sakura tells Kero back at home that it's a pity they aren't real, since she could have used the cooking help. The next day, Sakura's Clow senses are tingling, coming from the fake card rack. A red outline indicates the card had already been bought. She interrogates Maggie, who informs her that one of her friends had already brought The Shot◊ card. So off they go, with Maggie undoubtedly wondering why she seemed so angry. Meanwhile, Kero is playing some Top Gun-like game when he gets the message. He warns Sakura that it's a dangerous card, since it'll constantly pursue whomever it sees first. She uses Fly to search for her friends before it's too late. Nikki and Chelsea, none the wiser, reveal their Clow Card clones aren't the real deal. Chelsea informs Sakura that Meilin might have bought one. Sakura and Madison split up to search for her, and Sakura runs into Li, who had also been sensing trouble. At first, he is reluctant to get on the staff with Sakura, but it's not like he has a choice at the moment. Besides, he has the ever-handy Lasin Board (which, for some reason, only sees one card at a time). They finally catch Meilin at the playground, admiring her chance to score with Li. Unaware of the magnitude of the danger, she only insists on her own ability to capture cards too. Li demands she hand it over. No. "The Shot Card is mine!" Oh, Crap. Sakura bides some time by protecting Li with the Shield Card, but he has other plans. He runs off to distract the laser pulses. Finally, it scores a glancing hit on him. The situation getting desperate, Sakura gets the idea to use The Mirror. Li tricks the card into colliding with his reflected image, enough to weaken it for the capture. Madison reveals in the midst of all this, Meilin turned out all right, not even getting any reprimands for her irresponsibility. Guess Li's used to her Hot-Blooded attitude at this point. Sakura gets a second shot at cooking the dumplings, and gets them in this time! See? No magic to it. Kero gets to savour the taste of sweet victory as they deliver the Aesop. "Wishes can come true, Sakura, but not because of a card. You can do anything you want to if you put your mind to it." Wait, didn't she initially believe in that amulet two episodes ago? Of course, but I guess she realized she didn't need it after all.

How Sweet It Is Kero's reading a manga when he smells something good. It turns out to be coming from downstairs, where Sakura's baking a cake with her dad. Suddenly, the loud sound of manga toppling forces Sakura to head upstairs before her dad can suspect anything. It turns out she's getting some practice for tomorrow's home economics class, and promises to bring Kero some if it turns out good. At school, the students are all preparing for the class. Nikki is nervous as usual, but Madison reassures her that Rita and Chelsea will be of great help in her group, and eventually, the three decide on a strawberry shortcake. Li plans on doing a custard cake, since it's easy, but in comes Meilin with designs on, what else? A wedding cake! Sakura and Madison look at a chocolate cake recipe, when all of a sudden, Ms. Mckenzie shows up suddenly to wish them luck. Sakura promises that she'll bring her a slice if it's good. The two girls spot Li, who's spying on some bakers to try and get some pointers. Julian meets up with them, and Sakura asks what kind of cakes he likes. Turns out he likes all cakes, including chocolate and custard. With their simultaneous response, Sakura and Li gaze at each other in rivalry for Julian's attention. Meilin is getting some practice in of her own. Increasingly impatient at waiting for the oven to work its magic on the cake, she decides to crank the heat up. That can't end well. Li ends up breathing fumes as he gets home. She wanted to make the cake to surprise him. "Mission accomplished." Enraged, Meilin goes out to get more ingredients to try again, with Li making a futile effort to call her back to clean up. And so, the cooking class begins. Everything seems to be going well, bar Meilin's ill-guided attempt to help out Li with his mixture, but something is off about their taste. "Too sweet!", says the entire class in unison. Kero simply thinks everyone messed up, but they all get another shot at it next week. Meilin tries to carefully study the recipe book to get better at the craft. "Oh, how I can be so perfect at everything else, but I am lousy at baking a stupid cake?" Oh, you silly girl. She gets the idea of some kind of magic to make her good, yet she's disheartened as then she wouldn't be able to use it. Li goes to her room and he just wanted to say that it wasn't her fault that the cake didn't turn out right. How sweet those words are, somehow. Regardless, she's spurred on to do her best. Sakura is ready to make her cake perfect too after seeing the artistry at the bakery. Yet, there's something strange about how the collective class's cakes turned out. Li's Clow senses are tingling. A reflection suddenly appears at the glass. Ms. Stalker, er, Mckenzie. In her usual seemingly reassuring, yet strangely detached voice, she remarks that she's craving something sweet, and wishes Sakura luck at her second try. Sakura's class is not the only one that had problems. The other home ec. class had their cakes turn out all sweet too! "Maybe a Clow Card is behind this." Uh, yeah, ya think? Still, this time, Madison is even more prepared, very carefully measuring the sugar. Meilin seems to be fighting with the mixture with her forceful stirring. Ms. Mckenzie appears for a bit at the door, sparking Li's usual suspicions. And back at home, Kero suddenly realizes that maybe, it wasn't just a coincidence. Been snoozing on the job for too long, he has. Sakura and Li naturally stay behind during break to prepare for Clow Card hunting, and Kero tells her that The Sweet◊ card is behind this. Well aware this is a timed mission, they feel around the classroom, finding this little pixie sprinkling dust on a cake. Sakura closes the doors as Li chases it like a fly right into a bag of flour. The Sweet card continues its flight, turning the classroom into Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Li gets the idea of using his own cake to lure it, but Sakura insists it's not worth sabotaging his groups' efforts even though time is running out. She gets her own idea of throwing salt on it, and Li manages to immobilize it with an entire bag. After its capture, the classroom returns to normal, and it seems they won't have to deal with cleaning up any salt mess either. The cakes turned out nicely after all. Meilin invites Li to try some of hers, and they both realize it's awful. The teacher suggests she just mixed it too much. That must be humiliating. Julian and Tori try out Sakura's cake, and even Tori is impressed in his own sarcastic way. Li looks on behind the fence, when a pair of hands reach out in front of his eyes. "Guess who?" Li's not interested, wanting to be left alone. Meilin rushes after him anyway, excited to try again and get the cake right this time! So persistent, and yet, you gotta love her spirit.
"Hey are you listening Li? Li?"

November 28, 2014
HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV)-- The president of the Va. Board of Education continued his listening tour on Friday morning at Smithland Elementary School.
David Foster, the president, said the goal is to try to gain an understanding of the issues local educators, parents, and students have about education in the state.
One concern he said many have expressed is over the new grading system for schools in the state, which they will be graded on an A to F scale on how well they are preparing students.
Friday was the second day of the tour. On Thursday, he held a forum at Skyline Middle School. Foster said about 80 people were there.
"It's not easy for everyone to come to Richmond and testify to us, so this was a chance to get out and let them tell us first hand what they think we are doing well, maybe what we aren't doing as well, what we can do better. I think its given us a better sense of what's really happening on the ground, in the classrooms," Foster said.
His tour continues next month in the eastern part of the state. By the time the tour is done, he will have visited all eight regions in which schools are divided up in the state.

On offense, Seahawks smash again
Seattle pounded the Bears, 34-6, with Russell Wilson leading the Seahawks to nine consecutive scoring possessions.
Times staff columnist
Another Seahawks game, another outrageously fun party.
The Seahawks continue to do things that just shouldn't happen in the NFL. When they're dialed in, it seems like they're out to prove hyperbole is a myth. There are no qualifiers — It's just preseason or otherwise — that douse the enthusiasm over how well they're playing, especially on offense. You can talk about how the Seahawks have faced poor defenses in San Diego and Chicago over the past two weeks, and it still doesn't matter. It's not normal to roll over NFL teams like this, no matter the situation.
The Seahawks beat the Bears 34-6 on Friday night at CenturyLink Field. The previous Friday, they smashed the Chargers, 41-14. Two preseason blowouts don't guarantee a defending Super Bowl champion will repeat, but they do indicate the Seahawks are ready to begin the quest. The Sept. 4 opener against Green Bay can't come soon enough.
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely ready," wide receiver Percy Harvin said. "I'm right on point — right now. Let's go."
As special as last season was, the Seahawks look to be balanced now. With Harvin healthy, with more speed, with Russell Wilson a year wiser, the offense appears to be capable of more than running the ball, passing with efficiency and controlling the clock. The Seahawks are explosive. Their talent is varied. And opponents will get headaches early in the season trying to figure out the proper way to defend them.
Over parts of the past two games, four quarters in all, Wilson led the first-team offense to nine consecutive scoring possessions. Seven of them were touchdowns. The final scoring drive, which resulted in an incredible 59-yard Steven Hauschka field goal as the first half ended, was a solid display of clock management.
The first-team offense's scoring streak ended early in the third quarter with Hauschka missing a 53-yarder. But the Seahawks already had made it clear that they are determined to have an offense that complements the league's best defense.
"Our big thing with the offense is just to get in tune with the defense," Harvin said. "They've shut people down. They've carried us at times. We just want to make our team more balanced."
In three preseason games, Wilson has completed 30 of 39 passes (76.9 percent) for 360 yards. He has thrown two touchdown passes and run for three more. No interceptions. You can say he's playing against vanilla defenses and teams that aren't game-planning right now, but the Seahawks are doing just the basics on offense, too. There's no doubt the talent on this offense fits Wilson's skill set, and the big-play potential is stunning.
While he was in the game, Wilson threw to eight different receivers and completed passes to seven of them. Much has been made about the impact of Harvin, but while having him on the field and healthy is an enormous benefit, there's so much more going on with the offense. The Seahawks now have the personnel to spread out teams, make them defend the whole field and force defenses to choose whether to stop the power running game or the passing game.
"We were talking about it on the sidelines," Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane said. "We play against our offense every day. I know it's hard. Those guys are something else. I love going against them every day because, come game time, I know I'm not going to see nothing like that. Not with all the speed they have. Playing against our offense, it slows everything down for me."
The third preseason game of the NFL schedule is considered the dress rehearsal. It's the most important of the four exhibition games. It's the only one in which the starters play most of the game, usually the majority of the first three quarters.
Two years ago, the third preseason game turned out to be the one that won Wilson the starting quarterback job. He was in a competition with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson, and after good outings in the first two games, coach Pete Carroll started him against Kansas City. The Seahawks won that game 44-10, Wilson shined, and Carroll named him the regular-season starter soon after. Wilson went on to have a stellar rookie season and the Seahawks finished 11-5, then won a playoff game and set the stage for last season's Super Bowl triumph.
It's not just preseason. Not for the Seahawks. They take everything seriously. They feed off every accomplishment and learn from every mistake.
Let it be known that, if you defend the Seahawks straight up, they have an offense that can kill you. Opponents' game plans had better be intricate.
And even then, they should still be worried.
