Muy interesante cómo clasifica las Apps (gratuitas, por cierto) en los niveles más altos de la taxonomía de Bloom y cómo el uso de esas Apps permite que aprendizaje de la competencia del pensamiento crítico. Muy bueno!

Keep this infographic in mind as you plan for your 2015 e-learning projects. I think the mobile learning is going to come to the very front of the line this next year.

In an environment where so little changed for so long, this is both exciting and challenging to teachers and faculty.

Are you using any of these? What is working for you?
tom cockburn's curator insight, December 24, 6:17 AM
Motivation and cooperative learning are good uses problems arise for people in the evaluation and assessment and that compromises the acceptance of such by potential employers etc. The difficulty is in discerning the difference between collaborative or shared learning as opposed to simple collusion in getting answers which may not entail much,if any learning,other than how to cheat and thus disadvantage genuine learners who have made an effort.Thus making use of others' research to inform your own projects is not the same as claiming others' work as your own...and that is a big selling point for systems like Turnitin and others.

|Daniel is best known as "Darryl" from the 1988 sci-fi cult classic THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING. The
sequel to Wes Craven's original film finds the DC Comics superhero again battling the evil Dr. Arcane (Louis
Jourdan) and vying for the affection of Arcane's stepdaughter Abigail (Heather Locklear). Darryl and his
friend Omar constantly find themselves in trouble. Luckily, Swampy has a tendency of saving the day!
From there, Daniel did several television appearances (including IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and the
critically acclaimed I'LL FLY AWAY) before finding himself in the 2000 Dreamworks comedy ROAD TRIP
opposite comedy stars Tom Green and Ethan Suplee. More recently, he has become quite prolific in the
realm of independent horror and has worked with many of the genre greats such as Robert Englund, James
Hampton, Tiffany Shepis, Michael Berryman, Bill Moseley, Tony Todd, and Danielle Harris.
In 2012, Daniel and business partner Jim O'Rear formed Deviant Pictures. Their inaugural project, THE
HOSPITAL, is currently available from most online retailers and video-on-demand services. A controversial
film from the beginning, THE HOSPITAL rocked audiences with its visceral content and taboo subject
matter. Taking the sickness worldwide, THE HOSPITAL played several international festivals including the
prestigious Festival de Cannes.
Their next project, comedy-horror FAT CHANCE, is currently in post-production with a distribution plan in
place. FAT CHANCE was written by Daniel and co-directed by Daniel and Jim. Daniel, Jim, Bree Olson
(KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS, THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE III), Al Snow (WWE legend), Scott
Tepperman (SyFy Channel's GHOST HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL), and G. Larry Butler (FIST OF THE NORTH
STAR) will star.
FAT CHANCE will have its international premiere at Movie Days / The Dark Zone in Dortmund, Germany on
March 22, 2013. The first North American screening will be at Marble City Comicon in Knoxville, Tennessee
on April 12, 2014.
PRANK CALL is currently in the casting and location scouting phase. We should have official filming dates
Appearances are still being booked for the second half of the year. If you are interested in having Daniel
host a showing of THE HOSPITAL for your event or film festival, please shoot an e-mail to

This is the hardest one for me so far. Space Mountain is my favorite of the two except for at night during the fireworks. Riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad during the fireworks is my favorite thing in Disneyland, so because of that I have to give it the vote.

Love both roller coasters but the theming of Big Thunder makes it a winner in my book!

I moved this thread over to the Disneyland Community Board. While it is a thread about Disneyland, it's more of a 'just for fun' type of thread rather than a planning-oriented thread. We try to keep only the planning-related threads on the main Disneyland forum and we move the non-planning ones to the DL Community forum.

Welcome to GreenSteam®
Fuel saving is all about reaching optimal speed using as little fuel as possible. While this sounds simple, it is anything but in practice. This is because optimal settings of operational parameters – such as trim, speed and propeller RPM – depend on a range of conditions – load, waves, wind, water depth and so on.
GreenSteam offer a simple but at the same time very advanced fuel saving system for vessels making it possible to reduce fuel consumption by 4-5% on average. Based on the above cost reductions the payback time for the equipment and installation is less than a year!
So take a look at our systems and our references. We also have a solution for you!

It seems that there are many world views out there among the masses. Rich, middle class, poor, east-coast, west coast, north, south, midwest, et cetera....
Yet many of these ideas or worldviews seem like total shit to me. They are un-analytical, non-rigorous, non-thoughtful, emotional and stupid. Feng Shui, magnetic anti-cancer wristbands, belief in ghosts, angels hiding under our bed and similar such nonsense. The rich and the respectable laugh at the poor and the common folks for partaking of this stuff and peddling it to others.
But is this not hypocrisy? This stuff is silly, but the CRAP PEDDLED BY THE RICH IS FAR WORSE.
NONE of those above-listed ideas are as stupid, moronic or indefensible as the totally IDIOTIC IDEA that the rich and powerful are somehow BETTER THAN US. That their ideas are better, that their interests are more worthwhile and deserving of government protection. That their styles and interests, that the fashions and clothing they wear, the food they eat, the wine they drink, the places they "summer" or vacation are any better than those utilized by the common folks.
That they have persuaded us that they and their interests are superior, this is something I call the TRIUMPH OF THE STOOL. It is a triumph for them, because they are persuading us that their shit is something we should all desire to hold and be in union with.
People like Paris Hilton and the Kardashians, companies like Coach and Cartier, these are among the biggest producers of Materialistic and Ideological Stool in the world today. The greatest irony of it all is that they seem like the nicest and least smelly things around. Beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful and highly desirable. BUT BEWARE. They are shitty to the core.
They promote SHITTY IDEAS and a SHITTY WORLDVIEW. All these ideas are total SHIT. As a country, we are actually covered in shit. We can't get it off of us. Everybody promises to hose the nation down and give us a good scrubbing, but year after year we find ourselves covered in even greater piles of excrement and the stench keeps getting bigger and the BIG LIES of the super-rich shit-makers are getting more bold and more false with each passing day. We are suffering from a GREAT NATIONAL ILLNESS OF IDEOLOGICAL AND ETHICAL INCONTINENCE as a result.
Do you want to know the greatest secret I have uncovered in my brief years of living and learning? HERE IT IS:
The Shit on the top is just as stupid and idiotic as the shit on the bottom. The only difference is that the Rich persuade us that their shit is delectable chocolate mousse.
However, if you get close to their "chocolate mousse" if you smell it and taste it----THEN you will see that this MOUSSE is nothing but a MYTH.
Once you realize the true nature of the MOUSSE MYTH and see that the nonsense of the Rich is just as WORTHLESS AND STUPID and SHITTY as the nonsense of the poor and the Middle Classes, THEN YOUR EYES WILL OPEN.
With Open Eyes and Protected Nostrils, you can then wade directly into the shit, even if it is up to your waist. Once there, you can start shifting among the shit and look for something useful, like some accidentally digested coins or jewlery. And then you can use these trinkets to buy yourself a nice GRILLED SALMON.
Too long have we been covered in shit and exposed to other people's Shittiness.
The Political has irrevocably been transformed into the Scatological. No ideology or philosophy is sensible unless it takes notice of this singular truth.
How can you reform Shit? The Democrats don't wish to remove the shittiness of our government or economy as much as they want to make a deal with DIAPER MANUFACTURERS, so we can manage and deal with the shit, and make its clean-up somewhat more orderly. BUT THEY DO NOTHING FOR THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INCONTINENCE THAT IS DESTROYING US. The virus, the cholera, the nasty bug remains inside our great national gut and we need MAJOR LEFT WING MEDICINE to purge it from our system ONCE AND FOR ALL!
But in addition to curing this nasty incontinence, we must also WASH IT AWAY. Finding new uses for it, like toothpaste, hair-gel, skin-products and mushy/viscous baths, these things will not work.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, we need somebody to HOSE DOWN THE WHOLE GOD-DAMNED COUNTRY. WE NEED TO GIVE IT A GOOD SCRUBBING and WASH ALL THE SHITTY IDEOLOGY AND MATERIALISM AWAY AND DRIVE IT INTO THE SEA.
BTW: Wikipedia says the above picture is the "Bristol Stool Chart." I, however, think it is a group photo of our leading Congressmen and Movie Stars. Which one is John Boehner?
Janice---the ocean comment was metaphorical. I wish to wash their materialistic "ideas" into the ocean...
From the standpoint of the rich, that idea is anything but moronic or indefensible. It has helped to keep them in control of the levers of power in this country for over two centuries now, and in recent decades that control has been growing ever more absolute. Seems like a pretty effective idea to me. As long as we acquiesce to a system that valuates a person based on how much money they have we are deserving of every variety of shit we eat. One could in fact make a case that the average American prefers a diet of shit, as long as it's sweetened with baubles such as cable television and flashy SUVs and meaningless elections and a ludicrous belief in our national *exceptionalism.*
They have persuaded all of us that eating feces is not only tasty, but good for us as well!
Not to mention the fact that he is, metaphorically speaking, quite full of shit as well.
You won't solve anything by building another pyramid to replace the one we have. A pyramid is a pyramid is a pyramid. You do not need different people at the top you need a different structure. One, perhaps, where the authority and power flow from side to side equally instead of up and down.
With the right structure, shit becomes fertilizer and of value.
I have to admit laughing here at it all and agreeing that the rich have as smelly shit as anyone.
To think we, the people, are supposed to be happy with the crumbs that fall from their ever lovin' asses is more than I can stomach.
And now the new congress will come in and the new variety show/ same old shit will be playing on the media 24/7....
Let the shit show begin. And may we all remember this is pure shit fueled by greed.
"How can you reform Shit?" All anyone can do is change its form. It might be easier to *take* once in a while, but it is still shit.
Another good reason to cease Tv watching nd start doing some hardcor research. (sorry-hands again).
better to 'fess up than pretend.
That being said, I do see cooperation and altruism as hardwired into the human creature as well. I guess it's a matter of where each individual falls on the scale of competition vs altruism? The devaluation of organized religion has eliminated much of the thrust behind the altruistic spirit; religion has come to appear too equivocal in it's motivations.
rated with love
Sal: Holy Shit is the nonsense propagated by a theocracy. YES INDEED
L: Re-forming shit is artistically possible but not hygenically recommended. I suggest we flush it all down the toilet.
Poor Woman: I, too, watch little tv. Sometimes I do, though, so I can see what kind of propaganda is out there and how best to counter it. I also like the Simpsons, South Park and the Family Guy. Also Mad Men and Star Trek. 8)
JW: thankyouverymuch
Cyril the Gnome: it does look a great deal like her, I agree. Very fluffy without much substance
B Redux: An enema in America would be a very messy affair, but perhaps needed. We need a macro-level politico-economic Fleet Prep Kit to accomplish this nasty task!
Mr. Breschard: thank you. I am quite "regular," thanks to this article...lol
Snarky: I will not embrace anybody's shit. Cow manure, yes, but not human excrement tossed at me. Am old cowboy said it best, "Don't piss on my back and tell me its raining."
Poet: I threw the angel under my bed because it was bossy and was giving me too many orders.
Jack: this chart can represent those things, too. It can also be interpreted as a group portrait of N'Synch or the Backstreet Boys.
I agree with you. Unfortunately, I think it may take this septic tank imploding before a proper colon cleanse can be done.
The philosophy of Greed Capitalism says that we are all aggressive and greedy and want it all for ourself. In order to support this inhuman attitude those on the top have advanced the idea that they are just "better competitors" than all others. And they've got a whole lot of people believing that shit.
Sit down a moment; take a deep breath. You ready?
We are NOT by nature all greedy bastards who would fuck our mother for a nickel!!
We ARE however, TAUGHT to be that way by the society we live in. A society, may I remind you, that once DID NOT espouse greed as a basic part of its philosophy. It espoused taking advantage of every opportunity to financially better ones self. It was presumed that all of us had pretty much the same chance to do so. Some people did exactly that. They did it so well, in fact, that they left their children huge fortunes.
This is where the shit hit the fan. With the wealth tied up in a few hands and lesser opportunities for "getting a piece of the pie" for the have-nots, it became obvious that there were a great many people who could never, by their own efforts, get a "fair share" of the wealth of the nation.
The "born into wealth" felt the sting of approbation and, in order to justify their inherited wealth, proclaimed that "since a man had the right to do with his wealth what he wished", they had every right to that wealth without having worked for it at all, because "daddy left it to me".
I would contend that since that wealth was derived from the efforts of a whole society, NOT just by one who managed to amass it, that it belongs to the whole society upon the death of he who cornered it. Since I don't follow the socialist philosophy that it belongs to society in general, (to be managed by an elite of socialists) it ought to be shared up as birthright inheritances among the children as they are born. All children; the children of the rich and the children of the rest of us. With none getting more than any other. This puts all at the same starting point in life. Once we are all staring from the same point, why - "Let The Game Begin"!!
When capitalism is organized and regulated to provide the greatest opportunity for everyone, it works beautifully. It is only when too much wealth is cornered by too few that it breaks down. That has happened to us and we see the results today. We need to re-design our system from the bottom to the top in order to make it once again fair to everyone.
VZN: Yes, I am aware of all the persuasion techniques you mention. But this wasn't written for an audience, as much as it was written for me.
You know how it is...
I am a man of contrasts!
heres the deal... it does indeed mess up your day if you step in "human excrement". so to speak.
however, there are much darker things in the universe to look out for.
real villians.
in my opinion, there are psychopaths on the loose who would make ted bundy look like a schoolteacher.
so, try looking out for them.
I know Im being mysterious here.
Ill give you one hint:

CLINTON - After the Louisiana High School Athletic Association voted to split the football playoff brackets for public and private schools, some schools are considering other options.
The decision has generated controversy among high school athletic programs. There has also been talk of breaking away from the LHSAA and joining an independent school association.
Silliman Institute was a longtime member of the Louisiana Independent Sports Association before it folded, then joined the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools.
Silliman Athletic Director Sharon Kline says the school has more control over issues like scheduling and prayer before games by remaining independent. She admits that travel can be a challenge during the playoffs for certain sports.
Some Silliman fans tell News 2 they would like to see Silliman rejoin a Louisiana organization. They question how fair officiating is during out-of-state games.

Serves 6
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast (about 3/4 pound), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 pints Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or, if large, quartered
- 1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 6 scallions, cut diagonally into 3/4-inch pieces (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar (available at Oriental markets and many supermarkets)
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cold water
- an 8-ounce can water chestnuts, sliced thin, blanched in boiling water for 30 seconds, and refreshed under cold water
In a bowl whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch, add the chicken, and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook the Brussels sprouts for 2 1/2 minutes, or until they are just crisp-tender, drain them in a colander, and refresh them under cold water.
Heat a wok over moderately high heat and in it heat the peanut oil until it is hot but not smoking. Add the chicken, drained, stir-fry it for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until it is opaque and just firm, and transfer it with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Heat the oil remaining in the wok until it is hot but not smoking and in it stir-fry the shallot, the garlic, and the gingerroot for 30 seconds. Add the bell pepper and stir-fry the mixture for 2 minutes. Add the scallions and the Brussels sprouts and stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute. In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, the sugar, the vinegar, the broth, the sesame oil, the remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and the cold water, make a well in the center of the vegetables, and whisk the soy sauce mixture into the well. Bring the liquid to a boil, stir together the vegetable mixture to combine it well,and simmer it for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken and the water chestnuts, season the stir-fry with salt and pepper, and cook it for 30 seconds, or until the chicken is heated through.

Nothing's perfect. Stare closely enough at anything - even a masterpiece - and you're bound to find flaws sooner or later. They might be small. They might be insignificant. They might not detract from the overall quality of the piece at all...
Except when they really, really do. With these seven games, in fact, you don't need to stare. Their flaws are so huge, so obvious, so frustrating and so effing obnoxious that you can't help but notice them, despise them and wonder how the damn things got included in the first place.
Do we usually end up loving these games anyway? Yes. Would we love them a lot more if they lanced these particular features like the foul, cancerous boils they truly are? Oh hell yes.
The best parts: Beloved Disney characters; beloved Final Fantasy characters; successfully merging the two; gorgeous animation; Hollywood-grade voice acting; genuinely heartfelt story.
The WORST part: GUMMI SHIP
This selection shouldn't stir up much controversy, as you probably saw it coming from the moment you read the headline.
Everyone hates the Gummi Ship. Everyone. People who try the games for a few hours hate the Gummi Ship. People who worship and adore the entire series hate the Gummi Ship. People who cosplay as Heartless and draw fan art of Sora kissing Riku (yes, they exist) hate the Gummi Ship. People who have never even played Kingdom Hearts hate the Gummi Ship.
Why? Because the Gummi Ship sections are as completely unnecessary as they are completely unavoidable. After just one taste of the mind-numbing and repetitive "Star Fox for Dummies" gameplay, you'll never want to see that blocky jalopy again... but you'll have to, because Kingdom Hearts forces you to travel by Gummi Ship dozens upon dozens of times. Sure, you can customize it, but that's about as appealing an opportunity as designing the stationary for your math homework. Besides, you usually just ended up with junk like this:
Ha. Ha.
Dishonorable mention: No matter how big a fan of Disney and The Little Mermaid you are, we dare you to make it through all five of Kingdom Heart II's Atlantica "musical challenges" without wanting to tear your own ear drums out. The video clip below might be enough to cause irreparable harm:

School of Medicine > OSA > Forms > M3 Clinical Track Options
School of Medicine > OSA > Forms > M3 Clinical Track Options
The third year clinical rotation tracks for the 2015-16 academic year for Kansas City students are noted here. Students will be randomly assigned to a specific track based on enrollment limits set by each clerkship director. You can choose to go to a rural Network site to complete a portion of the following clerkships: Family Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, General Surgery and Pediatrics.
If you have specific (extenuating) reason for requesting a particular track order 4-week, 6-week or 8-week track in the Fall or Spring semester (pregnancy, your wedding, Philmont in June 2015, you and spouse classmate want same break weeks, or delayed entry to third year) please complete the Track Explanation form. You cannot specify a particular clerkship order.
Track assignments will be finalized in early March 2014.
A = 4-week track then 6-week track (Fall) and 8-week track (Spring) - 4-week courses - Neurology, Psychiatry and Geriatrics but not necessarily in that order
B = 6-week track then 4-week track (Fall) and 8-week track (Spring) - 6-week courses - OB/GYN and Pediatrics but not necessarily in that order
C and D = 8-week track (Fall) and 4- and -6 week (Spring) - 8-week courses - Internal Medicine, Family Medicine and Surgery but not necessarily in that order
Clinical Clerkship Orientation (required) - Tuesday, May 27 - Friday, May 30, 2014
O2 (electronic medical records) training is required prior to entry into the third year. CHALK training modules will be available later this semester. All modules must be completed prior to O2 training lab exercises and certification exam. You will be provided additional information as soon as it becomes available.
KUSoM Drug Testing Requirement for all new Third Year Medical Students
You will have 14 days from the initial e-mail notification (around May 1) from the SoM to schedule/take your drug test. You will be prompted to enter a zip code to locate collection facilities in your area. Please go to one that is near you. You don't have to test in Kansas City. Specific details will be included with the e-mail notification.
Third Year = 48 Weeks
Above tracks include: Internal Medicine (8 wks), General Surgery (8 wks), Family Medicine (8 wks), Obstetrics-Gynecology (6 wks), Pediatrics (6 wks), Neurology (4 wks), Geriatrics (4 wks) and Psychiatry (4 wks).
Issues in Clinical Medicine is a required lecture series that meets once a month for one to one-half hours during the third year, usually on Thursday afternoons. This course is designed to deal with issues that cross all clerkships.
Fourth Year = 36 weeks
Health of the Public (4 wks)
Rural Preceptorship (4 wks)
Subinternship (4 wks) - Choose from: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Ob-Gyn, Otolaryngology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, General Surgery, Plastic Surgery or Neurosurgery
Critical Care Selective (4 wks) - Choose from: Anesthesiology, ICU Medicine, CCU Medicine, Neonatology, Pediatrics, Burn Center, Neurosurgery or ICU Surgery
Electives (16 wks): No more than 4 credits of non-clinical/patient care electives can be counted toward graduation credits. A minimum of 12 credits of electives must be clinical/patient care electives taken in the fourth year.
Clinical Obligations and Holidays
The beginning and ending dates of each third year module is listed above. Each module begins on Monday at 8:00 a.m. and ends on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Holidays are at the discretion of each attending physician for all clinical students. The rationale is that students are members of the health care team. They must act and be treated as professionals. Patient care responsibilities are their priority. Departments may choose to give their enrolled students "free days" on other state observed holidays, i.e. Martin Luther King, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following Thanksgiving. Students are already on break over the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays in both the third and fourth year.

7/27/10 My Angel Baby's Due Date
|Mon, 07-26-2010 - 8:44pm
Tomorrow is my honeymoon angel baby's due date and I'm feeling kind of sad, especially since DH is away again on business and I am forced to face the day alone.
|Wed, 08-04-2010 - 5:50pm
Hi Jen,
I know I'm a bit late on the uptake here, but *hugs* to you. I am so sorry and I know that your angel baby is in heaven. My angel baby's due date was 7/6 and I thought about it all day as well, wondering what that baby would have looked like, etc.
The one positive thing I could think of was that if I had had that baby, then I wouldn't have THIS one, and maybe this is the one I was meant to have. I hope that thought helps you too.
|Tue, 07-27-2010 - 4:12pm
Jen, I hope you will be strong tomorrow and not let much sorrow come over you. Your DH might not be around but you certainly have your little man to support you. Perhaps you can give yourselves some treat/do something fun.
Perhaps one day we all will know what our angles look like..I just hope they are happy and safe.
Many hugs your way,

On September 30, 2011, Anwar al-Awlaki, a senior official of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen. Yesterday, the Obama administration released a Justice Department memo justifying this drone strike in response to a lawsuit by the ACLU and New York Times.
Many on the left and a few on the right, such as Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) have objected to the killing of Awlaki since he was a Yemeni-American born in the United States.
The New York Times disputes that Awlaki was planning "imminent" attacks and claims that "the memo says only that Mr. Awlaki had joined Al Qaeda and was planning attacks on Americans, but that the government did not know when these attacks would occur."
Such muddleheaded thinking on national security is breathtaking. How much evidence will it take to convince the Times that Awlaki was a serious threat?
After post-9/11 Bush administration counterterrorism programs and increased security put al-Qaeda on the run and made terrorist attacks on the United States much more difficult, Awlaki became the leading al-Qaeda leader of its Yemen franchise Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) by recruiting terrorists within the U.S. using the internet. Some in the U.S. intelligence community referred to him as an "e-iman" because of his internet savvy and ability to use other forms of electronic communications to spread his message and recruit followers.
Awlaki successfully inspired many home-grown radical Islamist terrorists in the UK and the United States. Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra said in a 2009 op-ed:
"Al-Awlaki's sermons have influenced would-be homegrown terrorists in the United States and the terrorists who launched the deadly 2005 London subway bombings. Mr. al-Awlaki, who was born in the U.S. and speaks perfect English, has been using his own Web page, social-networking sites such as Facebook, and e-mail to preach a message of violence to English speaking Muslims around the world."
The men who planned to attack Fort Dix in 2007 had recorded copies of Awlaki's sermons as did the Toronto-18 group that was arrested in 2006 for planning to attack the Canadian parliament and assassinate Canada's prime minister. Army Major Nidal Hassan, who carried out a November 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas which resulted in 13 killed and over 30 wounded, communicated with Awlaki over the internet. 2009 Christmas Day underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab almost certainly met Awlaki during a 2009 trip to Yemen and may have been recruited by him. Awlaki also may have inspired Faisal Shahzad's May 1, 2010 attempt to set off a car bomb in Times Square and Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a 19-year old Somali-American who tried to bomb a Christmas tree lighting in Oregon in December 2010.
Awlaki also is believed to have inspired five American Muslims from the Washington, DC area who were arrested after arriving in Pakistan in December 2010 for terrorist training and Zachary Chesser who was arrested in New York in July 2010 before boarding a plane to travel to Somalia where he planned to join the al Shabaab Islamist terrorist group.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who with his brother Tamerlan staged the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, said he and his brother were influenced by Awlaki's internet sermons. Tsarnaev also told the FBI that he and his brother learned how to the build the pressure cooker bombs they used to attack the marathon from AQAP's English language internet magazine, Inspire, which promoted radical Islamist ideology and encouraged its readers to conduct terrorist attacks against the West. Inspire was founded by Awlaki and featured his sermons. It was edited by Pakistani-American Samir Khan who was killed by the same drone strike that killed Awlaki.
Add to all of this the fact that three 9/11 hijackers attended services in Awlaki's Falls Church, Virginia mosque.
The Times, the ACLU and Senator Paul have asserted that the targeted killing of Awlaki violated the U.S. Constitution, specifically his due process rights as an American citizen, and required an independent review prior to the attack.
I agree with former CIA Director Michael Hayden who said in 2011 that Awlaki should not have been protected by his American citizenship from a targeted killing because he voluntarily became part of an enemy force.
Moreover, there was outside review of the proposal to kill Awlaki with a drone strike because the Presidential Finding approving the strike was briefed to Congress in advance and Congressional leaders were fully on board. That's why no members of the intelligence committees or senior congressional leaders objected to the Awalki killing after it occurred.
The Obama administration was right about the Awlaki drone strike. By helping run the AQAP terrorist group in Yemen and recruiting terrorists to attack the U.S. homeland, Awalki should not have been protected from a targeted killing because he was an American citizen. Moreover, the Obama administration took the proper steps to obtain the necessary legal and political backing for this attack by a careful review by the Justice Department and by convincing Congressional leaders and the intelligence committees to support the drone strike because Awlaki was an active participant in an armed enemy force.
The drone strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki is a rare example of the President and Congress working together to defend American national security. Rather than lodge dubious complaints that this attack violated the law, the New York Times, the ACLU , and Senator Paul should press the White House to engage in advance consultations with Congress on similar threats in the future.

Despite the build up of tension in Europe, motorcycle trade began to enjoy better times with a rise of almost 20% in sales in two years. Official figures confirmed the total sales of all makes and types of motorcycles for 1935 were 46,311 rising to 56,077 by close of play on December 31, 1937. Of the British makers BSA sold over 19,000 machines worldwide.
Why was the year's Exeter Trial held in January of the following year? That was the question asked in the car and motorcycle Press. Publishers carried in their December issues details of the 1937 event, which would be held January 7-8, 1938…
Logic of sorts applied insomuch as traditionally the Exeter was held on the Friday and Saturday night following Christmas.
In 1936, Christmas Day fell on Friday, thus the first Friday and Saturday following Christmas Day were January 1-2, 1937.
All of which has some logic to it, but how the 1937 event became to be run on 7 and 8 January 1938 seems to defy the same logic as the first Friday and Saturday after Christmas would have been Friday December 31, 1937 and January 1, 1938. Puzzling, eh?

The Elections: Why the System Has Failed
One week to the day before the New Hampshire primary last February 26, Representative John Anderson of Illinois, his daughter, his traveling staff, and his trailing press corps drove through sunny weather and a strangely snowless countryside from Manchester to Hanover—all in one van. Mr. Anderson, then exciting more public interest as a character in "Doonesbury" than as a Republican presidential campaigner, was looking forward to what he considered a big event in his campaign: he was to be interviewed by an ABC News television crew. For a contender buried in the pack of seven "major" candidates, a network TV spot was a rarity indeed.
But one of the two reporters accompanying Mr. Anderson heard the news of the ABC interview with a sinking heart. He was not sadistic enough to tell the elated candidate the cruel truth—that the ABC crew was working on a documentary, which would not be shown until summer, a little late to influence the New Hampshire primary.
Two days later another Republican hopeful, Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee, appeared for an early morning rally at the fire station in North Londonderry, a small community not far from Manchester. At that time, primarily because of his prominence as Senate Minority Leader, Mr. Baker was considered one of "the top three"—or, as John Anderson enviously termed them, "the charmed circle"—which also included Ronald Reagan, the leader in national polls, and George Bush, the surprise winner of the Iowa caucuses.
The main advantage of being among the top three was the attention of television crews, which cost the networks something like $2,000 a day to deploy; at those rates, and considering the scarcity of time on thirty-minute evening news shows, the cameras were seldom pointed at the lowly likes of Mr. Anderson or Representative Philip Crane. But at the North Londonderry firehouse, that chilly February morning, a total of seven cameras, network and local, filmed Mr. Baker's typically low-keyed speech—while, at most, perhaps two dozen laconic Hampshiremen and women listened with no great enthusiasm.
That lack of local interest in Howard Baker foretold his fate; within a week or two, he was not only out of the top three but out of the race. On the other hand, Mr. Anderson, with a surprising second-place finish in the Massachusetts primary, sprang right out of Doonesbury and into the "charmed circle" he had so envied—ultimately, of course, into the national spotlight and an independent presidential candidacy that has both major parties looking over their collective shoulders.
At least two conclusions suggest themselves from these cautionary tales. One is that in presidential politics, television can neither redeem an otherwise lifeless campaign (Baker signally lacked organization, an issue appeal, or the kind of victor's aura Iowa had given Bush), nor kill by inattention a campaign that has a real base of public support (which Mr. Anderson as "the only moderate in the race" only needed opportunity to demonstrate).
But the other conclusion is that nothing, any more, is quite so important to a presidential candidate as television coverage. Television made Jimmy Carter in 1976, it gave George Bush his brief fling into notoriety in 1980, it has carried John Anderson—a national unknown in January of this year—into serious contention for the presidency, and it is the primary instrument by which Ronald Reagan will reach the White House, if he does.
Presidential politics today, it is reasonably fair to say, is television. Party politics in America has given way to media politics, and the full consequences of that momentous shift probably are yet to be seen; among them, surely, is the loss of function of the traditional parties and the widening gap between the media arts of running for president and the grinding politics of governing the country.
But it is not just television that has changed the way we choose presidents almost beyond recognition—hence changed the kind of presidents we are likely to elect, and what they will do with the office when they win it. When Hubert Humphrey won the Democratic nomination in 1968 without winning or even entering a single primary, a reaction centered in the Democratic Party led to "opening up the system" for nominating presidential candidates; and when the vast sums raised for Richard Nixon's re-election in 1972 were shown to have been tainted by scandal, steeped in influence, and poured into Watergate, another reaction—this time in Congress—produced a complex federal subsidy scheme to "take the money out of politics."
Both reforms succeeded—succeeded so well, in fact, that they turned the nominating system upside down and inside out and raised in the process the questions whether the system is not now too open on the one hand and too constrained on the other by federal restrictions on fund-raising and spending. Like most reforms conceived in committee cerebration, moreover, these produced side effects foreseen by none but the longheaded.
The new system produced, for 1980, the apparently certain nomination of President Carter by the Democrats and of Ronald Reagan by the Republicans—a pair of ex-governors, one of whom had in late June only 30 percent public approval for his handling of the presidency, and the other of whom had been rejected twice by his party and lacked, at age sixty-nine, any demonstrable experience in foreign policy, national security, or congressional affairs.
"This is what reform gets us?" a reader wrote to me last spring. And when I published in the New York Times the rather snide conclusion that Carter's record of inepitude was the worst since Warren G. Harding's, several letters informed me that this was a slur on Harding.
In one poll, 58 percent of the respondents termed themselves unhappy with the choices offered them by the two parties; and John Anderson and his managers freely concede that his independent campaign was made possible only by the unpopularity of the Reagan-Carter match-up, which left many a voter in both parties looking for an alternative and gave Anderson roughly 20 percent of the vote in pre-convention polls.
It is not clear, however, that the system inevitably produced Reagan and Carter, or that other nominees would have emerged from a different system—say, the old, pre-1968 method—of separating wheat from chaff. Reagan, for instance, was a front-runner and won; Carter was an underdog (last fall) and won.
Both, it's true, were veterans of the 1976 campaign, the first under the new dispensation, and presumably took advantage from that experience. But it seems unlikely that if nominations were still dominated by party leaders and professionals, an incumbent president would have been challenged for renomination, as Carter was. On the other hand, the necessity to run in primaries, which Gerald Ford did not want to do, foreclosed his chances and kept Reagan's most formidable foe off the field.
Aside from the end product in any one year, however, sharp questions about the new nominating system are now being raised by many students of politics—practitioners, academics, journalists. And though one and a half elections—1976 and the primary half of 1980—provide limited experience by which to judge, a number of cogent criticisms seem to be emerging already, from the relatively obvious (thirty-six state primaries are too many) to the comparatively subtle (is proportional selection of delegates as fair as it seems?). Naturally, proposals to reform the reforms (regional primaries, for example) are being heard.
Here, in summary form, are the major problems—at least as I see them—of the way we nominate now:
The Early Primaries and Caucuses. Something has to come first, of course; if not the New Hampshire primary, then the Iowa caucuses, or whatever. But in a nominating system in which public contests between two or more candidates are largely determinant, the first such contests—particularly the very first—are bound to draw press coverage out of all proportion to their intrinsic importance. Iowa and New Hampshire may have only eight and four electoral votes apiece but if they provide the arenas for the first victories and the first defeats, the press will descend in numbers more appropriate to a national convention.
Editorialists as well as press critics can and do argue that this should not be so, that editors and political reporters ought to discipline themselves to give coverage to the early campaign events in proportion to their intrinsic importance. But a happening that is first of many does take on outsized even if momentary importance, particularly when candidates have been organizing and campaigning for months and when the public—the press must assume—is hungry for some measure of who's doing well and who's not.
Besides, in a free and highly competitive business, does the Washington Post ask the New York Times what kind of coverage it plans for the Iowa caucuses? Does NBC ask CBS? Of course not. They all assume the other fellow will go all out, and they plan to match or outdo him. And if newspapers and television did try to restrain coverage generally, they might lay themselves open to the charge they least want or need—that of collusion to affect public opinion.
The result in a contest-centered system and a media age is that the first "winner" reaps a disproportionate harvest of publicity; television, in particular, quickly stamps him (or maybe some day her) as a frontrunner and parlays his name, face, and foibles (Carter's teeth, Bush's jogging) into national familiarity. Carter, up against a relatively faceless field in 1976, was never headed after gaining such a media advantage in Iowa and New Hampshire; Bush, facing the famous Reagan in 1980, was boosted into his most persistent Republican challenger.
The Proliferation of Candidates. The availability of all those primaries, plus the provision of federal financing even for unknown candidates who meet a relatively low threshold of fund-raising, ensures a big field of contenders in the out-party and makes likely a challenge even to an incumbent. That's fine for giving new faces a break, offering the voters a variety of choices, and keeping a president on his toes.
The problem is that it means somebody can come in first in a multi-candidate primary, and thus be declared a "winner," with perhaps as little as 28 percent of the vote, as Carter did in New Hampshire in 1976. Less than a third of the voters of a minority party in a state with four electoral votes is not representative of much of anything, but the resulting press "circus" took the Georgian a long way in 1976—which is why some critics say that primaries plus federal subsidies plus television have taken the nomination away from one small and unrepresentative group (party leaders and pros) and given it to another such group (a few New Hampshire or Iowa Democrats or Republicans).
Primary Spending Limits. Not only can someone with a small percentage of the total party vote in a small state be catapulted by omnipresent media into national prominence and frontrunner status. But no other candidate—including some who might have finished only a percentage point or two behind—can rush out to his supporters, beg or borrow an infusion of funds, then outspend that "frontrunner" the next time out in order to catch up. Acceptance of a federal subsidy also means acceptance of federal spending limits for each primary.

O Quatrilho
Description: Based on a true story, the tale begins in southern rural Brazil in 1910, when Italian immigrants were flooding the area. Within the Italian immigrant community, doltish, thrifty immigrant peasant Angelo marries coltish, romantic Maria. He then goes into business with the romantic, sexy Massimo, who's married to doltish, thrifty Pierina. Soon, both pairs have reproduced, and the business, a grain mill, is flourishing. But so is illicit romance between the romantic sides of the pairs. Reminded of the general code of honor, the romantic duo flee, leaving the doltish and thrifty behind to bumble into the discovery of their own attraction.

Press Release: Statement By U.S. Secretary of State on Sudans oil deal
WASHINGTON, September 28, 2012 Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
September 27, 2012
I applaud today's agreements between Sudan and South Sudan on security, oil, financial, nationality, and trade issues. This is a critical step toward the peaceful resolution of the outstanding issues, as required by the African Union Peace and Security Council Roadmap and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2046, and toward fostering a new peace, greater stability and development, and new economic partnerships.
The leadership shown on both sides is an example of what is possible when people come together in good faith and choose a brighter future for their people. We hope that these agreements pave the way for resolution by the Government of Sudan of the conflict and the humanitarian needs in Southern Kordofan, Blue Nile, and Darfur.
The leadership of President Thabo Mbeki and the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel has enabled the parties to achieve these agreements. Their relentless efforts, coupled with the commitment of international partners, particularly the African Union, the chair of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, and the United Nations, have brought new hope to the people of Sudan and South Sudan.
It is a moment worth celebrating, but the success of the agreements will depend on the next steps. We call on the parties to maintain their commitments, live up to the serious responsibilities to which they have agreed, and immediately begin to implement these agreements. We also strongly urge the parties to agree on a sustainable process to resolve the final status of the disputed border area of Abyei. The United States supports the execution of all agreements reached today, and we stand with the Sudanese and South Sudanese people in pursuit of a lasting peace.

Get tips on dealing with chipped teeth, mouth cuts and toothaches until you can get to your dentist
(10 Photos)

Whether it's a baby or permanent tooth, shine a flashlight on the exposed edge of the broken tooth; if you see a red spot, the tooth is bleeding inside, exposing the nerve. This is an emergency, so you'll need to see your dentist immediately. If you can find the piece of tooth, bring it with you -- your dentist may be able to bond it in place. If no red spot is visible, it's fine to see the dentist the next day but call to tell him or her what's going on. Your child probably won't be in pain, though the tooth may be sensitive to hot and cold.

I posted this on my BMB but thought you ladies who are further along may have some advice.
I had swelling in my legs with my last pregnancy at the end and of course, since this is pregnancy #2, and because I broke my ankle severely a year and a half ago, I'm already having swelling in my ankles.
Can anyone recommend their compression socks? Ideally, I'd like something with an open toe and lightweight enough for summer.
I can't remember what brand I got, but I had open toe, medium weight to wear to work at my desk job everyday. They did help. I put them on as soon as I got up (if I showered the night before) but didn't wear them over the summer. Similar to these:<

Updated: December 8, 2012 6:05AM
I graduated college a few days before Christmas, and the next morning I was in an airplane lifting up and away from the desert, bound for O'Hare.
A few days later, I was bound for JFK. From warm to cold, to cold again. Actually, I was happy to be back in the cold and the thrill of big cities because blazing sun and an endless tableau of cacti can take you only so far.
I was going to New York for a few days to sit through interviews and stay with a high school friend who had graduated college six months earlier and was working in Manhattan. He and his roommates were Ivy Leaguers, and members of their alumni club. One night, one of the roommates came home from the club with the glow of discovery on his face.
At the suggestion of a bartender, after dinner, he had tried a wine called "port." His top button and necktie loose, he spoke through one of the most sincere smiles I have ever seen. It was as if he could not contain his joy.
"It was so tasty," he said, his pitch rising slightly, almost suggesting a question. But there was no question; he was smitten.
The endorsement was so strong I vowed to try port myself. But the next night came and I completely forgot about port, instead beelining for the dive bars of Hell's Kitchen. Only years later, when a gracious server set a glass of port in front of me, did I truly understand that smile. Like most people, the moment I tried a great port, I was a believer. And if chilly weather had an official drink, it would be port.
Preceded by a bit of a stodgy reputation and an intimidating air, port is quite simply a delicious sweet wine served in small doses. "In general, put it in your mouth, drink it," says Robert Bower, an eighth-generation descendant of the Yeatmans, an early and influential port family. "If you want to take it a step further, then we can talk about dessert."
As the story goes, port was born when British wine merchants began adding brandy to red wine while it was fermenting in Portugal's Douro River Valley so that the wine would survive the long maritime journey home. The technique continues today in that same valley, which meets the sea at the city that lends its name to the wine, Oporto.
Port wine hovers at around 20 percent alcohol, and its concentrated flavors offer up dark fruits, raisins, nuts, vanilla, chocolate and toffee. It is made for sipping slowly, either on its own or with dessert. Aficionados pair port with savory food, too, but you should walk before you run.
Start out by matching a ruby port with dark chocolate, and then try an aged tawny port with crème brulee. When you are ready to try (and pay for) vintage port, made only in the years when the grapes are best, go for the classic Stilton cheese pairing. (Another port style, late bottled vintage, is the bridge between ruby and vintage; an LBV is of higher quality than a ruby and more affordable than a vintage.)
Think of ruby and LBV as fruity, aged tawny as nutty, and vintage as intensely fruity when young and more complex as it gets older. Vintage port, which can easily age 50 years in its bottle, is the pinnacle. But a nice ruby or LBV can raise your eyebrows and a great tawny — aged in oak barrels for 10, 20, 30 or 40 years before it gets to you — can change your life, or at least make your night.
When Bower has guests over for dinner he likes to drop a bottle of port on the table as he is clearing the plates. "I let them pour their own," he says. "A 20 Year Old Tawny lubricates good conversation. And if you're playing poker, give everyone 20 Year Old Tawny. The tells become really obvious."
If you do not finish the bottle — and you probably will not finish the bottle unless you are hosting a dozen port-loving guests — ruby, LBV and tawny ports will last a couple months after they have been opened. Vintage port will survive a couple days if it is old and fragile, or a couple weeks if it is younger. Just keep them corked and cool — no need to refrigerate.
You do not have to belong to an Ivy League club to enjoy port regularly. Order a glass after dinner (fine dining restaurants and steak joints usually carry good ones), and keep a bottle at home.
Pour a small glass or two after dinner. You might find that port fits your lifestyle in ways you could not have imagined, especially on chilly dark nights when good conversation and smiling seem to be almost a necessity.

How did you end up at the Tour, and at Alpe d'Huez on that day in 1991?
In my first year in France I was mad keen to see the Tour so when some people at work discussed driving down to Bourg d'Oisans to see the Tour on the Alpe, I was in. It was only about a 2-hour drive and when we'd parked we walked up the Alpe as far as we could be bothered with, not that far up, it's steep. It was a hot day and we were carrying food and drink for several hours.
|Pascal Richard (Photo: Rod MacFadyen)
What equipment did you use to shoot these images?
I was cycling a lot by that time and the Mamiya was easy to put in a bag so I could use it if I was out and about on my bike. The Mamiya lenses had leaf shutters which meant they could synchronise with electronic flash at any shutter speed. This was important because when using fill-in flash outside, ambient light can overwhelm the flash. To overcome this you need a large aperture to get flash range but then you need a high shutter speed to expose correctly for ambient. The Mamiya could achieve this and with its easy handling, fast film wind, and near-instant shutter release, it was an excellent camera for close-in photography of moving subjects.
The weather that day was overcast and not sunny and that helped. Mixing flash and ambient is an interesting technique because the flash lights the shadows and freezes the action while the ambient light provides the context. Ideally you get some motion blur from the the ambient light image and sharp detail from the flash image. By the way I can't particularly remember why I used black and white film, I mostly shot colour. I must have thought that monochrome would be more timeless. I guess.
|Michel Vermote (Photo: Rod MacFadyen)
|Bugno, Indurain and Luc Leblanc (Photo: Rod MacFadyen)
Anything particularly memorable about this day, or any rider in particular you were hoping to shoot during their ascent?
As a photographer you're very concerned about your vantage point and that you've set exposure and focus correctly. You have to trust yourself that you'll get the shots when the riders appear. When they did, I was one of those people who step into the road slightly – not as crazy as that kid who knocked off Guerini in 1999 though—to get my shot and step back quickly.
The first few riders came up singly or in small groups and that allowed me to get almost all of the stage top 10. I missed Greg Lemond sadly. I wasn't intent on capturing any particular rider, they were all heroes, and with the speed of the riders you have time to react but not much time to think. With only 12 shots per roll of 120 film I only had 12 pictures I could take anyway. Changing a 120 roll film takes a minute or two and by then all you've got is team cars roaring through.

What do you make the images from that day now?
Secondly the photos which at the time were just nice pictures of cycle racers we were all familiar with, now are redolent of a period of pro racing that is both significant and completely gone.
Tim Berners-Lee may have been inventing the internet just down the road from where I was living, but this was a pre-internet age and as such lost in the mists of time for the modern-day person. These photographs are precious now. ■

The following article was written in response to The Choice blog post "Did a College You Visited Liken Itself to Hogwarts?". While reading this short blog first would give you some context for the following, the real meat is in its comments. Among which is an opinion from a parent who says, "As a veteran of three kids' visits (to probably a dozen schools each), campus group info sessions and tours are numbingly repetitive and basically public relations from the admissions office…telling the student exactly what the office want them to hear…and yet rarely let on how one school is different from its peers."
I'll admit it. We don't have a single building that looks like Hogwarts. It's just not our style. Most folks would say that we have a very attractive campus with new buildings that blend in beautifully with our historic buildings but we still don't look a thing like Hogwarts. I am not even sure we have a Harry Potter look-alike in the student body, and I have never seen quiditch played on campus.
One of the critiques from the essay in question relates to how colleges all sound the same. We all have tours and group information sessions, campus dining halls, a cappella choirs, great professors and labs, small classes, personal attention, study abroad programs and more. The armchair college administrators tell us that we should distinguish ourselves from each other much better than we do.
From my perspective, most students and parents want to know that we have these things. They are going through a mental checklist that changes depending where they are in the process. They want to make sure they can study abroad at Centre, have small classes with supportive faculty and play intramural sports. So we tell them.
When I hear such criticism of colleges, it reminds me of those who have come to depend on the 24/7 instant news cycle where everything is important at once. These families want to know instantly how Centre is similar to and different from Kenyon and Rhodes. My friends and colleagues at Kenyon and Rhodes will undoubtedly agree with me when I say it just isn't that simple. Like Kenyon and Rhodes, Centre has small classes, great professors, competitive sports teams at the Division III level, and study abroad opportunities. Our locations and settings are different. Rhodes and Kenyon are a bit bigger than Centre. Kenyon pulls more students from the North, Rhodes from the Southwest and Centre from the South. When you figure out how to rank college faculties, please let me know. They are different between the three schools. All are very good. Each has its unique personality, aspects and emphases.
All of the colleges offer many similar programs, majors, facilities and services. In that way, many colleges look very much the same. The question is one of emphasis. While we tend to have many of the same offerings, they vary in personality, depth and emphasis. It is the student's job to sift through as much information as they can to glean what is most important to him or her. Learning about a college is like making a new friend. True friendship takes time and effort. The college search process takes time and reflection. Find the time. Do the reflection.
