As he did in 2006 and 2008, Thierry Matrot picked later than most of his neighbors did in 2010. The crop level was down considerably owing to the hard winter frost in December of 2009 (Matrot had to replant 4,600 vines) and bad weather during the flowering. Acid levels are sound (typically between 4.2 and 4.4 grams per liter) in the post-malo wines but Matrot considers his 2010s to be riper than his 2008s (he feels that hail stress give a slight vegetal aspect to the acidity in '08). There was also a higher skin-to-juice ratio to the grapes in 2010, and the wines finished drier than the 2008s. Matrot believes that the 2010s will turn out to be enveloping, fleshy wines, rounder and more sensual than the '08s.
Aromas and flavors of peach, apricot and nut oils. Chewy and strong but a bit unrefined. Good material and cut here.
Very ripe nose offers aromas of apricot, hazelnut, honey and marzipan. Fruit-driven and velvety, with good supporting minerality and acidity to the ripe apricot and spice flavors. Strong stone fruit flavors linger on the aftertaste. Already showing a lot of personality. Very Meursault.
Bright yellow. Very pure aromas of stone fruits, spices and flowers. Smooth, ripe and rather elegant on the attack, then quite rich in the middle, with impressive volume for the year, no doubt due in part to the later harvest. Plenty of extract here. Limey minerality gives a slightly bitter firmness to the finish. (The Meursault Charmes was in the middle of its malolactic fermentation, and was still being stirred weekly.)
Pale yellow. Peach and crushed stone on the nose, plus a whiff of honeyed surmaturite not unlike the Blagny. Rich, round and smooth but at the same time dry and classic, with strong minerality giving the middle a distinctly sappy quality. Finishes very clean and very long. Strong potential here. (The Puligny-Montrachet Combettes was also in the middle of its malo and in a distinctly disjointed phase.)
($32) Bright, light yellow. Rather exotic aromas of apricot and mirabelle lifted by a mineral element. Very ripe and round, with modest definition to its white plum and marzipan flavors. A bit unrefined but has solid material. "Serve it with fish on the terrace," suggests Matrot. Matrot has owned these old vines (45+ years) since 1999 and notes that the site has benefited in recent years from global warming.
(a premier cru made from Dents de Chien and Sur Gamay): Good pale, bright yellow. Ripe citrus, marzipan and buttery aromas perked up by a floral note. Round, smooth and quite ripe; a bit warm but not aggressive. Will give early pleasure.
Musky stone fruits dominate the nose. Round and very ripe, with a honeyed quality to its glyceral apricot, marzipan and soft citrus flavors. Sweeter than the Saint-Aubin but also fresher and much richer than it appeared to be from barrel last year. "For rich summer cuisine," says Matrot. I'd give this a year or two in the cellar.
($71) Aromas of menthol, minerals and earth. Very ripe but also vibrant, displaying more energy than the village wine. Fruitier in the mouth than on the nose. A rather powerful, rich wine with strong soil tones and a smooth texture. The long finish is a bit severe in a positive way. Matrot noted that he did a lot of lees stirring for his Meursault cuvees in 2009 as the wines initially lacked drive; after the racking, he said, they gained freshness and purity.
($80) Good full yellow. Nose dominated by menthol and wet stone. Fleshy and ripe but quite dry, with a strong saline minerality giving the wine a chewy character for the year. Not a particularly fruity style but refined, subtle and long, with a whiplash of minerality on the aftertaste. For veal with a cream sauce or light white meats, suggests Matrot. An excellent showing.
($80) Reticent nose hints at lemon, menthol and crushed stone, plus a whiff of smoke. Much less opulent than the Meursault premier crus, showing strong minerality and a hint of white flowers. Finishes quite brisk, with a lime flavor and a peppery quality. Far less exotic than it appeared to be from barrel last spring. This will need patience.
($85) Very reticent nose suggests ripe stone fruits, lemon peel, minerals, crushed stone and white truffle. Sweet and thick on entry, with ripe white peach and mirabelle flavors dominating. The wine's mineral element kicks in on the back, giving it a light touch and good inner-mouth perfume. Finishes broad, aromatic and dry, with a whiplash of flavor and a slight youthful aggressiveness. Needs six or seven years in the cellar.
($75) (a 50/50 blend of the premier crus Garenne and Chalumeaux; aged in 50% new oak): Peach and minerals on the nose, with a very light grilled oak quality. The wood makes its presence felt on the rather powerful, aggressive palate, but strong minerality gives the wine a penetrating, sappy quality. With less fat than the Perrieres (the wine has just 12.8% alcohol), this is even more rigorous today and in need of patience. Really reverberates on the back end. Intriguing wine.

Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome...
Zack #26-3
Diagnosis: cerebral palsy, scoliosis
Zack is 11 years old. He is wheelchair-bound due to scoliosis and cerebral palsy. He is a bright and engaging boy that until recently was well loved and sheltered at an orphanage for younger children. He was recently transferred to an older child home for children with physical disabilities. He makes friends easily and is developmentally on target aside from typical orphanage delays.
Zack's best friend of over a decade was adopted to the United States in June and both children are heart-broken to see their lives so far apart now. Zack's friend Maria is standing firm in her belief that a family will see her best friend and bring him home to their family. Maria's family has met Zack and is willing to talk to any interested families about him.
Information from Maria's family:
Zack is a very sweet boy who has been in a great orphanage. He loves music, cars, Legos (I sent some to him in one of the packages I sent my daughter). He is developmentally and academically on track from what I saw and heard. He is small for his age. I think that both of these kids are doing so well because of the care they got. The orphanage kept them longer that they should have before transferring them. So instead of sending them on when they were about to turn 8 they kept them until the end of June when I picked my daughter up. These two kids had been there since birth or soon after. The staff did lots of special things with them. I know they got birthday and Christmas gifts from the staff. The staff we are in contact with have even said they have called Zack at his new orphanage. Both kids were very sad on the day I picked Maria up….it was quite heartbreaking to be honest. They have a very strong relationship and it extended to the staff at the orphanage. The director even called my daughter princess Mimi. There is also a foundation that has done several things for both children regarding surgeries and equipment. I have Skyped with one of the founders who will be going to visit Zack at the beginning of August. He is a very sweet and kind little boy. They made sure he met me on the first trip because they didn't want him to worry about who Maria would be adopted by. They staff psychologist also did a lot of work with Zack and Maria about what a family is, family roles, seeing friends adopted and being left behind. She is amazing! She was even one of the staff that took Zack to his new orphanage.
Additional photos are available. More detailed information about his development is coming soon.

Boy, born June, 2007
Diagnoses: Anal atresia and Hypospadias, also had Preauricular fistula
In July 2011, he moved to a foster family. He has such an outgoing personality, and is very active — his foster parents always joke that "our Tate never walks" because he always runs from one place to another. One of his favorite things to do is running around in the playground. He has good appetite, so, he likes any kind of food, but, his favorite foods are meat, dumplings and bananas. He loves bicycles, even the toy bicycle. He is smart with learning things, but, not good at practicing. He does learn songs very fast and sing well. He is doing well at kindergarten, and enjoys school.
Girl, born July 2004
Diagnosis: Pigmentation of skin
From her latest updates received from China, it was reported that she is currently in foster care and is getting along well with her foster parents and other family members. In school, she is described as a very well-behaved student who follows the classroom rules and gets along nicely with her classmates. Danielle enjoys playing hide and seek, bean-bag games, singing, and dancing. Danielle's special need is a large pigmentation on her face. We think she is beautiful!
Danielle appears to be a very typical little girl, dealing with an unusual skin condition. The condition appears to interfere with her hair growth as she has some alopecia as well. A dermatologist looked at her pictures and file and believes her condition is just nevus. A plastic surgeon looked at her file and he said the area in and on the side of her mouth could easily be removed and should be removed as to not interfere with her eating.
Her phyical development is normal, as well as her language development. She enjoys talking with people she knows. She likes imaginary play, and playing with baby dolls. She is active, smiling, and likes watching TV.

Girl, born 2005
Suzy is an outgoing little girl who enjoys playing games with other children. The other children at her institute like her very much and she is very good at socializing. Suzy was born with ichthyosis, a skin disease that covers her entire body. The orphanage staff treats her ichthyosis with ointment once a day. Her skin itches due to her condition and her caregivers say that it also makes her "afraid" of the sun. In the wintertime, the condition tends to worsen. When we asked how her condition affected her in other ways, the nannies said that in the past her gait has been abnormal, but now it is better although she still can't run as fast as the other children. She is described as a talkative girl who speaks well and speaks a lot.
She is able to walk with one foot in front of the other, stand on one foot, and she is able to name animals and know what their sounds and behaviors were. The orphanage staff say that they haven't sent her to school yet because she is too young, but she appears to be on target and able to complete tasks that other 5 year olds can do. She is able to do basic self-care tasks such as toileting, washing her hands, and dressing herself. What she could really use is a family who could give her the love and care that she needs and who would help her get appropriate treatment for her skin condition.
There is a total of $9800 in financial aid (made up of a $4,200 Promise Child grant for eligible families for this adoption and a $5600 waiver for the orphanage fee) — details available through the agency.

Girl, born November 1998
Down syndrome
Mama, are you out there? Please come get me! We are so happy for the chance to help sweet Greta find her family.
Greta is very petite; more the size of a 5 year old than the 13 year old she actually is. Developmentally, she is quite delayed, probably closer to a 3-4 year old. In many ways, she is toddler like. Greta is missing out on the essential things in life- a mama and daddy to teach her the things she needs to know, school lessons to maximize her potential for learning, and hope for a future.
From a family who visited with her in September 2012: "Greta desperately desires to be loved and shown affection. It broke our hearts to see how desperate she was for attention. She would climb up us before we even knew what was happening and was clinging to us. She probably needs to go to a family that can devote a lot of one on one attention to her, and that she be the youngest child, because she can get aggressive when she is jealous for attention. I hope this helps her find a family."
From a family who visited with her in August 2012: "Love Greta! She climbed over the playpen wall to hug on me. She's walking now, thanks to a team of foreign therapists who worked in that groupa. She has so much potential- but needs a lot of love and a family! I just know there has to be a family out there for this thin, wiry little girl, a family who likes to play and be energetic "
More photos available! Married couples only. Large families and older parents welcome. *** Families with adoptive experience and a completed home study would be the best option for Miss Greta. ***

Calvin is HIV+. He is not on ARV's at this time.
From someone who works with him (updated Oct 2011):
Calvin is such a sweet talkative little boy. For living in a biolingual environment, we are daily amazed by how well his language skills have improved over the short time he has lived here. He loves to play and is all boy. Some of his favorite activites are pool days, playing on the play ground, and ball day. He loves to get dirty and have fun. Calvin is not scared of the water at all and puts his face right down in it! He radiates with joy as he plays! He has a beautiful little smile and cute dimples! Calvin loves to help people. If you ask him where someone is he will walk you around the baby house until he helps you find them. Calvin has made many improvements in the time we have known him. He still has fits, but they are few and far in between. When he does have them they don't last nearly as long as they used to. A lot of his fits revolve around food. Calvin gets along great with the other kids here. He plays well and loves to include everyone. Calvin loves to go to preschool and can't seem to learn enough! He also loves nanny prayer and singing time. We love watching him clap his hands to the beat of the music and dance up and down the hallway as his nannies sign loudly in Creole! Calvin loves to sing. It's not uncommon to hear him leading the other kids his age in songs. They sing in both English and Creole and will even do the hand motions occasionally! Calvin is so much fun to be around and we just love him dearly! He's incredibly intelligent and always up for an adventure.

The volcanoes of Kamchatka are a large group of volcanoes situated on the Kamchatka peninsula. The Kamchatka River and the surrounding central side valley are flanked by large volcanic belts containing around 160 volcanoes, 29 of them still active. The peninsula has a high density of volcanoes and associated volcanic phenomena, with 29 active volcanoes being included in the six UNESCO World Heritage List sites in the Volcanoes of Kamchatka group, most of them on the Kamchatka Peninsula.[1]
The highest volcano is Klyuchevskaya Sopka (4,750 m or 15,584 ft), the largest active volcano in the Northern Hemisphere,[2] while the most striking is Kronotsky, whose perfect cone was said by celebrated volcanologists Robert and Barbara Decker to be a prime candidate for the world's most beautiful volcano. Somewhat more accessible are the three volcanoes visible from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: Koryaksky, Avachinsky, and Kozelsky. In the center of Kamchatka is Eurasia's world famous Geyser Valley which was partly destroyed by a massive mudslide in June 2007.[3]
Owing to the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, deep-focus seismic events and tsunamis are fairly common. A pair of megathrust earthquakes occurred off the coast on October 16, 1737, and on November 4, 1952, in the magnitude of ~9.3 and 8.2 respectively.[4] A chain of more shallow earthquakes were recorded as recently as April 2006.[5]
These volcanic features are the site of occurrence of certain extremophile micro-organisms, that are capable of surviving in extremely hot environments.[6]

"Trying to capture

Recently in the media
|Indolence at Publishers Weekly
An "accomplished debut. . . The novel's appropriately languid tone and expressive descriptions, particularly of the natural world, offers an impressionistic portrait not only of Maria's surroundings but also of her state of mind. Maria's voice not only carries readers through these pages, but will stick with them afterward."
"a story as passionate and elemental as a Greek myth in breathless, painterly prose"
|The Wes Letters at The Lit Pub and Entropy
"a captivating venture into the minds of three personalities who seem to invest their entire selves into a relationship with a man they've never met. . . each exchange contains subtly substantial details about what makes these writers tick, as well as how quickly fandom can escalate from mere esteem to pitiful fantasy. . . I find The Wes Letters to be an extremely involving, profound, and generally brilliant character study."
|A Moody Fellow at Paste, Heavy Feather, Tin House,
Publishers Weekly, American Microreviews, 3G1B,
New Pages, Necessary Fiction, and more
"his sentences swoop, dip and dive"
"as captivating as it is graceful"
"calls to mind the best of Vonnegut"
"the funniset book I've read in a long time"
"a brisk, clever take on the coming-of-age debut novel"
|The Autobiography of Daniel J. Isengart

"We loved how this book revels in gossipy detail about the queer art and performance scene in 80s and 90s NYC. . ."

"a little slice of genius". . . "a deadpan, sharply-observed novel" that tunes into "a contemporary world fixated on simulation and celebrity"
|Colin Fleming at NPR, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic,
Sports Illustrated, and more
Recent writing by Colin at NPR, The Boston Globe, The Atlatnic, Sports Illustrated, The New Criterion, Jazz Times, and The Weekly Standard.
"Colin Fleming's collection is pithy and witty, and manages to walk an interesting line between absurd existentialism, surrealist fantasy, and magical realism. . ."
|Eric Barnes at North American Review, The Millions, Memphis Daily News, and WYPL's Book Talk.
"a remarkable book. Barnes effectively builds the tension of the story with his elliptical structure, and his prose is beautiful."
|Tom Molanphy at Longreads
"There are all kinds of awful things I could consider. Hand-me-downs don't seem like the worst option. . ." Read the final essay in Tom's collection Loud Memories of a Quiet Life at Longreads. And at We Wanted To Be Writers, Tom reveals what books and other paraphenalia he keeps on his bedstand.

|Nights I Dreamed. . . at Santa Fe Writers Project, The Rumpus, and Corduroy Books
Runner-up at the Santa Fe Writers Project 2013 awards.

Single Slot Card eReader Reads SD/MMC cards.
iPorter xSD carries SD/xD/MMC/MSD
iPorter xSD carries SD/xD/MMC/MSDP/T-Flash
Customize the iPorter to Promote Your Company
We provide a better way to store, use, and manage your Digital Memory Cards!
Have you ever been out hiking or sightseeing when you discover you filled up the memory card in your camera and you can't find a spare card? Have you ever misplaced that card full of your recenly taken images or downloaded MP3 files? The cost of memory cards can be substantial, but the content on the card could be priceless. If you own more than one digital card, you must get a digital memory card case. ePorter, Inc. manufacturers a unique memory card case or memory card holder product called the iPorter xSD. It functions primarily as an SD card case, however it can hold many different card types and sizes, it can also function as an xD memory card case or a Sony memory stick case, specifically the memory stick duo. The iPorter fits on a key chain which serves to transform it into a card case key chain to best fit the "mobile" lifestyle. Just keep the card case keychain available while you travel. You will never run out of memory when you carry the iPorter secure digital card case. As you contemplate the number of electronics that are on the market, the SD card storage case is the wave of the future. The iPorter is the only memory card case on the market made out of harder plastic that can fit on a keychain and hold up to 3 different types of cards at the same time. Make the iPorter your SanDisk memory case or Lexar memory card case. The iPorter is not the only memory card case on the market, but it is the only memory card holder made out of hard plastic that can hold different sized memory cards. Most other memory card cases are soft and therefore provide less protection. The iPorter card case keychain also protects the cards from shock, elements, or dust. We feel our SD card storage case is the best secure digital card case on the market.
All ePorter products provide handy ways to keep extra memory cards available so if one card in the camera or other electronic device fills up, you can quickly swap the card out for a fresh card. The full card can now be carried in the iPorter xSD memory card case until the card contents can be downloaded to a computer. Our eReaders help you take full advantage of your cards. Don't just use them for images! Store anything on them from MP3 files, movies, documents, spreadsheets, or other computer files. Turn your card into a true flash drive.
.... The reason I need the iPorter's is to store all the SD cards I have that contain the GPS mapping data bases for my portable Navman GPS which I carry with me as I travel around the world. I have looked at every website that sells SD type storage containers and in my opinion there's nothing that compares to yours, especially given its size and the convenience of the small keyring that I will use to attach the iPorter to the zipper tag of my GPS case to keep everything together. ....
-- Eric W. from New Zealand May 24, 2006
I really think you have a
good product there. I have the Treo 650 and your
product is just "what the doctor ordered"!
-- Jeff W. From Nashville
January 31, 2006
I have been looking for the 'perfect' personal SD
card storage solution for about 10 minutes. When
I saw the ePorter, I knew I'd found it. I LOVE
your product. Kudos on a brilliant design. The
product is great, the customer service is even better
-- John W. From Hayward CA January 25, 2006
I wanted to share my eporter "testimony" of sorts.
I have a small silver-ish iporter SD memory card holder.
The card holder was in the pocket at my sister\'s annual
barbecue. I realized, at the end of the night, that
the case was no longer in my pocket. After a fruitless
search, I went home and my sister said she would look
in the morning, in the daylight. The next morning I
received a call that my memory card holder had been
found. It was sunk into the mud and grass in her backyard
and the memory cards inside (a 512MB and a 16MB) were
completely safe. They contained priceless photographs
and I was overjoyed. Thank you very much for making
such reliable products - you saved my memories.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about half of all women are unaware of this fact. Founder of the Women's Heart Clinic at Mayo Clinic Sharonne Hayes, M.D., says, "While there's been a steady decline in cardiovascular deaths in the general American population over the past 30 years, that has not been the case for women under the age of 55, which has seen a slight increase."
Journalists: Sound bites are available in the downloads. This is part 1 of Dr. Hayes' insights on women's heart health. Also see "Women Urged to Take Charge for Better Heart Health" posted February 24, 2014.
Dr. Hayes says part of the problem has been an outdated belief that women had a lower risk of heart disease than men. She says it's now known that women actually have some additional risk factors that can damage their cardiovascular health.

When Cats Bite: 1 in 3 Patients Bitten in Hand Hospitalized, Infections Common
Middle-aged women were most common cat bite victims
Rochester, Minn. — Feb. 5, 2014 — Dogs aren't the only pets who sometimes bite the hands that feed them. Cats do too, and when they strike a hand, can inject bacteria deep into joints and tissue, perfect breeding grounds for infection. Cat bites to the hand are so dangerous, 1 in 3 patients with such wounds had to be hospitalized, a Mayo Clinic study covering three years showed. Two-third of those hospitalized needed surgery. Middle-aged women were the most common bite victims, according to the research, published in the Journal of Hand Surgery.
Journalists: sound bites with Dr. Carlsen are available in the downloads.
Why are cat bites to the hand so dangerous? It's not that their mouths have more germs than dogs' mouths — or people's, for that matter. Actually, it's all in the fangs. Read the rest of this entry »

Reminders for Avoiding Winter Mishaps
By Dana Sparks
Snow, ice and the arctic air of winter are more than inconveniences — there are major health concerns to be aware of, some which can be prevented.
Lori Schumacher, emergency medicine physician assistant at Mayo Clinic Health System, discusses a few common potential health issues to watch out for throughout the rest of winter.
Slips and falls
Slips and falls account for nearly 9 million injuries in the United States each year, per the National Safety Council. Most slips and falls occur at building entrances, on lawns, in parking lots and garages, and inside of walkways.
Watch out for uneven ground, protruding structures, holes, and debris that can cause slips, trips and falls. Also, be aware of ice- and snow-packed surfaces — they increase the risk of falling.
Some tips for preventing slips and falls:

Shoveling snow can provide good exercise when done correctly but can prove harmful if people try to take on more than they can handle or use faulty techniques.
Here are some tips from physicians at Mayo Clinic Health System for injury-free snow shoveling:
• If you're inactive and have a history of heart trouble, talk to your doctor ... stop if you feel tightness in your chest. Heart attacks increase significantly in the winter months, particularly while people are shoveling snow.
• Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is just as possible when you exert yourself in cold winter months as it is in the summer.
• Dress warmly. Dress in several layers so you can remove a layer as needed.
• Do not shovel while eating or smoking. Avoid caffeine or nicotine before you begin shoveling. This may place extra stress on the heart.
• Warm up your muscles in your arms and legs. Walk for a few minutes and stretch your arms and legs before shoveling. Warm muscles are less likely to be injured and work more efficiently.
• Take it slow! Pace yourself and take breaks. Keep a cell phone handy in case of emergency.
• Don't pick up too much snow at once. Use a small shovel, or fill it only one-fourth to one-half if you use a large shovel. If necessary, just push the snow as you shovel. It is easier on your back. Keep the load of snow as close to you as possible.
• Protect your back. Bend from the knees, not your back. Lift with your legs bent, stand with your feet about hip width for balance and keep the shovel close to your body. Try not to twist. If you move the snow to one side move your feet to face the direction the snow will be going.
• Clear snow as soon as it stops falling. Freshly fallen snow is lighter.
• Most importantly – listen to your body! Stop if you feel tired.

It's Never Too Late for Safety Reminders
By Dana Sparks
Winter is well underway but it's never too late for reminders about how to properly handle snowblowers, especially in wet, heavy snow that can result in clogging a snowblower's exit chute. According to the American Society of Surgery of the Hand, hundreds of people suffer serious accidents involving snowblowers each year, and the common weather conditions when injuries occur include a large accumulation of snow, typically greater than 6 inches, in temperatures ranging from 28 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.
Mayo Clinic Health System hand surgeon Jose Ortiz, M.D., says, "A 'quick fix' for a clogged snowblower can result in a lifetime of pain and disfigurement. It's just not worth it." Dr. Ortiz recommends the following steps for safely clearing a clogged snowblower:

In 2007, for example, India was to send 107 young elite civil servants to China as part of a goodwill tour. But China refused to grant a visa to one, saying that because he was from a part of India claimed by China, he didn't need a visa. Luttwak sees this as part of China's strategy of manufacturing crises in hopes of obtaining a favorable solution.
Likewise in 2010, China responded to the arrest of a Chinese fishing captain who had violated Japanese territorial waters by issuing inflammatory statements, arresting Japanese businessmen, and effectively suspending rare earth shipments to Japan. Then it did an about-face and sought to make a deal with Japan. But the Japanese were shocked and frightened by China's actions and this led directly to the 2012 crisis, with an emboldened nationalist governor of Tokyo threatening to buy the lands claimed by China and assert Japanese sovereignty, which forced the national government to step in to buy the land. This purchase was then the basis for Beijing permitting yet more protests against Japan last autumn that lasted the requisite week before being shut down.
This sounds like bad leadership but Luttwak says that even Bismarck couldn't fix China's problem. All rising powers cause a reaction, he says, and rarely gain hegemony unless they create or take advantage of a historic turning point, such as a war. The United States used Japan's defeat and the decline of Britain and France after World War II to move decisively into the Pacific. Even so, the United States didn't enter the region making loud demands for territory but as a donor of economic aid. This helped soften America's rise in the Pacific, even though it was still accompanied by much bitterness—consider how it lost its air and sea bases in the Philippines. By contrast, China is already seen as a predator and has achieved almost nothing.
If accurate, Luttwak's theory means Americans don't have to worry too much. China will essentially self-destruct, at least diplomatically. And the list of problems facing China make it seem that this could well be happening right now.
Odd Arne Westad isn't quite as sure. The Norwegian historian at the London School of Economics believes that China's history is a burden but it also shows an underestimated ability to adapt and change. A Sinologist who has written widely and lucidly on the cold war, Westad's Restless Empire is a rich history of the past 250 years of Chinese foreign policy. Like Luttwak, Westad has a revisionist streak in him but this leads him to more optimistic conclusions.
Westad shows how the current crises are in part due to idealism—a belief that the international system has some sort of justice that China can appeal to. In China's mind, it was humiliated in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and some of its territory, including the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, was stolen. It doesn't demand that all this land be returned—no one in Beijing wants control of Mongolia, now an independent country that used to be part of the empire—but it has linked some of its maritime claims to this narrative of humiliation and justice. This isn't the view of a rogue power but one that has a self-interested and one-sided view of justice and history, which is probably how most countries view the world and their past.
Westad is also convinced that the Chinese have been very willing to adapt. One popular view of China is that it didn't embrace change fast enough, but Westad shows that this really isn't true. It raced to build railroads, shipyards, and factories in the nineteenth century—as early as in his native Norway, he writes—and the Qing dynasty might have succeeded if it hadn't been afflicted by a particularly bad run of luck: famines and uprisings, not to mention being invaded and carved up by foreign powers. He also makes a good case for the adaptive abilities of Chiang Kai-shek's much-maligned Republic of China. Were it not for Japan's invasion in 1937, the republic probably would have survived.1
"Chinese who embraced the new—when given a chance to do so—always far outnumbered those who did not," Westad writes, making another important point: the current era of "opening up" isn't new but the norm. Instead, it was Mao's thirty years of being cut off that were the anomaly. The reason for this interlude, he says, was World War II. It fatally weakened the republican government—and here he gives a good corrective to the view that the Nationalists didn't fight, showing how Chiang threw his best troops into battle while the Communists killed more Chinese during the war with their purges and backstabbing than they did Japanese. In addition, foreign powers failed to support China during the war, with the United States giving just 1 percent of its aid to China until 1945. This made people willing to hear Mao's message that it didn't need the outside world, leading to the tragedy of his rule. Had history played out otherwise, Mao would have remained a guerrilla and China's modernization would have continued after the war.
Likewise, Westad gives an important corrective to the facile view that Mao's destruction opened the way for its capitalistic revival:
China in the 1970s could have gone in many different directions—from genocidal terrorism of the Cambodian kind to democratic development such as on Taiwan. The potential for market developments was there, not because of the destructiveness of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but despite it, since China had experimented with integrated markets for a long time before the Communists attempted to destroy them.
Like Luttwak, Westad paints a bleak picture of the Communists' foreign policy. In the 1960s, China had gained some prestige in the developing world for having shunned the United States and, eventually, also spurning the Soviet Union. But it lost this goodwill through Mao's erratic policies. By blocking aid for Vietnam during its struggle with the United States, Mao ruined the once-close ties between the two and set up China's humiliatingly inept invasion of Vietnam in 1979. China also had won points for aiding African countries but then frittered this away by supporting Maoist insurgencies, for example in Ghana. One wonders if China's current forays into Africa aren't similarly narcissistic; many Africans are amazed at China's economic successes and investment muscle, but also realize that China operates without even the minimal altruism offered by Western countries.
Relations with the United States likewise haven't gone how Chinese leaders envisioned. Mao was so out of touch that he believed that Nixon faced an imminent revolution at home and thus had come from a position of weakness to meet the Great Helmsman—after all, in the Chinese Weltbild, what leader comes to the Chinese capital unless to pay tribute? Later, Deng allied China with the United States against the Soviet Union but was essentially just helping the stronger superpower defeat the weaker one, helping set up the past quarter-century of US global hegemony. It's hard to know what China should have done differently, but Westad is right to poke fun at Westerners' infatuation with Chinese leaders' foreign policy savvy.
The Chinese leaders' gnomic statements on international strategy were taken as ultimate examples of the realist wisdom of an ancient civilization, instead of the ignorance about the world that they really represented.
And yet for all its missteps, China remains the biggest challenge facing not only its neighbors but the United States as well. One of the deans of US–China studies, David Shambaugh, writes of this in the introductory essay to Tangled Titans, an edited volume he put together to try to explain how relations between the two countries had become so bad. "Mutual distrust is pervasive in both governments, and one now finds few bureaucratic actors in either government with a strong mission to cooperate."2 Shambaugh's book doesn't answer exactly how things got this bad but he makes an implicit case that both countries are suffering from Luttwak's "great-power autism"—set in their ways and unable to change the dynamics.
The dilemma facing American policy makers is well summarized in the forthcoming book by Vali Nasr, a former State Department adviser on Afghanistan and Pakistan. Although his interest is the Muslim world and not so much the territories of East Asia, Nasr describes China and its foreign interventions as at the center of US concerns even in those parts of the world.3 China's thirst for oil and willingness to pay big for exploration rights is one reason; so is its desire to bring that oil home, either through shipping routes—which necessitate its naval buildup—or pipelines that run through the fragile states of Central Asia.
How optimistic should one be about a changed China being less of a strategic threat? Toward the end of his book, Westad basically assumes that China will rise. As China emerges as "the master player of international capitalism, it is also obvious that the rules of the game are being remade in China," he writes: a statement that seems to reflect the post-crash period when the West seemed doomed and China's rise assured. He also writes somewhat implausibly that the Communist Party has "taken over many of the management methods of foreign enterprises"—perhaps, but surely only the worst. Still, his optimism is supported by China's ability to adapt over the past centuries. Luttwak doesn't rule out China's ability to change but puts it another way: only by changing in a way that it has so far resisted, can China rise:
Only a fully democratic China could advance unimpeded to global hegemony, but then the governments of a full democratic China would undoubtedly seek to pursue quite other aims.
1 One annoying exception to Westad's exemplary fairness toward the republican era is his decision to use the mainland pinyin form of rendering Chinese characters for places and groups in Taiwan. Thus the island's capital is written in the non-standard form "Taibei" instead of "Taipei" and the "Kuomintang" is written "Guomindang" and abbreviated as GMD instead of KMT. Self-determination should apply to spelling too, and outsiders should not choose sides by imposing Communist orthography. ↩

Baby may be head down
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-22-2012 - 5:50am
Had my Sunday midwife appointment. She thinks the baby has turned head down now. She's not 100% sure, and neither am I. It does feel like the weight's distributed a bit differently, but still not sold. I need an ultrasound to confirm. So they want me to go ahead and get the evaluation for the version...in case they are wrong. I was a bit shocked to hear that if I need a version and it's successful they will immediately induce labor. That's so the baby doesn't have a chance to turn again, but it seems extreme to me. Hopefully this knowledge is unnecessary now.
I really don't understand why it's so difficult to be sure of this baby's position so often. It was never an issue at all with DD.
|Mon, 10-22-2012 - 9:09am
I certainly hope her little noggin is where it belongs!! I also hope that a version/induction are not going to be required for you and your baby.
My baby doesn't go into the true "foot down" position any longer, but she does go transverse sometimes. I have never dealt with this with either of my others this late, either!

Step 4 of 6 - Register for the exam
How to register for the exam
You must be approved to take the exam. Once your application is approved, DDNA will send you an approval packet that contains the notice of your approval and the exam registration forms for both the group and local exam options. Follow the detailed instructions within the approval packet. You will choose either the group or local exam options, complete the exam registration form for that option, and mail the form and corresponding exam fees (see certification fees page) to DDNA.
Group exam option
Group exams are held once per year at DDNA's Annual Education Conference. Seating at the conference exam is limited, available in the order approved. If there is sufficient interest from a group of nurses at one location, DDNA may choose to offer a group exam at another designated time and location. To take the group exam, you must follow these steps:
- Apply for certification
Detailed instructions regarding certification application submissions are on the apply for certification page. Your application must be approved before you will be allowed to register for the exam.
- Submit group exam form and fees
After you have been approved, complete the group exam registration form and mail it with the correct exam fees (see certification fees page) to: DDNA, PO Box 536489, Orlando, FL 32853-6489. It must be postmarked 30 days before the conference (or other designated group exam). Once you have paid the group exam fee, there are no additional sitting fees. The exam fee does not include attendance at the conference.
- Await confirmation
Upon receipt of your registration form and payment, DDNA will send you a written confirmation of your registration and information about taking the test at the conference (or other designated group exam site). If you do not receive this confirmation within two weeks prior to the exam date, it is your responsibility to contact DDNA to confirm your admission to the exam.
- Study for the exam
See studying for the exam for study guidelines, recommended materials, and related courses.
- Arrive prepared
On the day of the exam, you must bring the written confirmation of registration letter, your current nursing license (not a photocopy), and photo identification, such as a driver's license or passport. Additional instructions are on the taking the exam page.
Local exam option
Local exams are available, by appointment, throughout the year at select Prometric testing centers. To take a local exam, you must follow these steps:
- Apply for certification
Detailed instructions regarding certification application submissions are on the apply for certification page. Your application must be approved before you will be allowed to register for the exam.
- Submit local exam form and fees
After you have been approved, complete the local exam registration form and mail it with the correct exam fees (see certification fees page) to: DDNA, PO Box 536489, Orlando, FL 32853-6489.
- Await confirmation from DDNA
Upon receipt of your registration form and payment, DDNA will send you written confirmation of your registration and inform Elsevier (the company that distributes the exam) that you are eligible to take the exam.
- Await confirmation from Elsevier
You will receive an email from Elsevier that provides you with your test code and directions for how to schedule your exam. IMPORTANT: Do NOT call any Prometrics Testing Center to schedule an appointment to take the test until after you receive this email from Elsevier.
- Schedule an appointment
You must have a letter of approval from DDNA and a confirmation from Elsevier before you can schedule a testing time at a local Prometrics Testing Center. When you receive both confirmations, you may schedule your exam appointment time. To schedule an appointment, email a message that contains your first name, middle initial, last name, address, city, state, zip, phone number, and email address to firstname.lastname@example.com. You will receive a confirmation notice from Elsevier indicating that you may schedule your exam. The notice contains detailed instructions for using the Prometric Scheduling System. Scheduling must be completed using the Prometric Scheduling System, and cannot be handled directly by any of the local testing centers. Do not contact any local testing center until you receive the confirmation notice and instructions from Elsevier.
- Pay sitting fees
Prometric charges a sitting fee of $175, payable by credit card only, to take the exam at their testing centers. Please note: This is not the application or the registration fee charge by DDNA. It is a separate fee charged by Prometric that covers administration of the exam at your individually scheduled appointment time.
- Follow Prometric's instructions
Carefully follow all directions provided to you by Prometric regarding your exam administration procedures. If you opt to take the exam at Prometric, you assume all responsibility for meeting their policies and requirements. DDNA cannot refund any monies paid by you to Prometric for your exam administration, and additional fees may be applied by Prometric if you re-schedule your testing appointment times.
Local test sites
Do not call the Prometric test site to register for the exam.
You will be contacted by the testing company after you have received a letter of approval from DDNA.
There are 400 Prometric testing centers available in the U.S. and Canada. Check here for a testing center near you. To take the test locally, you must follow the steps outlined in the local exam option section (above) to register for the exam.
Steps to certification links
Period of eligibility
Once your application is approved, your eligibility to sit for the exam is valid for a period of two years. After the end of the two-year period, if you wish to take the exam, you must submit a new application packet (including the application fee).
