How Responsive Are Our Leaders?
We are all used to waiting, it is one of the first things we learn in kindergarten. We wait in line for movies or concerts. We wait for planes and buses. We take numbers and wait interminably for driver's licenses, and try to not go postal each time we go to the post office. [Read More]

What's New
Customize the colors of your lighter, its flame, and the background
Personalize your lighter by adding an engraving to the side
Tilt your phone and see the flame follow your movements
Blow on your phone's mic to put out the flame
Remember the days before cell phones, when music fans held lighters above their heads at concerts? Neither do we, but apparently old people did it all the time. Now you can approximate that experience--and avoid setting your hair on fire--with Lighter Free, an app for your Android device.
Lighter Free displays a realistic-looking metal cigarette lighter on your device's screen. Use your finger to flip the lighter open, then touch the flint wheel to create a flame. When you tilt your phone, the flame follows your movements. To put out the flame, blow on your phone's microphone.
Personalize your lighter by changing the color of its components, the flame, and the background. You can even add a customized engraving that will appear on the lighter's side (we recommend something like "Pink Floyd Rules").

We have a wonderful 1930's Fenton pink and white crimped edge console bowl. The bowl has exaggerated crimped sides with a pretty pink interior. The bowl measures 10 1/2" by 9" and stands 3 3/4" tall. There are no chips or cracks. There is a dark pink spot near the center of the bowl that is from the manufacturer and a few tiny black spots that may come off. Beautiful piece of Fenton Glass!

On September 21, 2014, we sent a public records request to the Louisiana Department of Education, requesting the number of school corporal punishment incidents for the 2011-2014 school years. On October 29, 2014, we received the data. It was revealing.
It is easy to distance oneself from the the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the resistance to it on the grounds that it is too complicated to fully grasp. But the fact that Israel is the largest recipient of aid from the US should drive every American to ask where their tax dollars are going and what they are being used for.
A 2011 survey of the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics revealed that one-third of women experiencing violence remain silent or seek help from family. Few turn to specialized institutions, and even less to security and justice services.
As the trauma in Israel/Palestine rages on, I try to keep my focus on growing peace between people, far from politics, wherever I see the light. Meet my friend Tali. Her life story is more stunning than most, but it is what she does with her experience, that makes her a poster child for love.
More than 2,000 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli war on Gaza, but we know very little about them. In Jerusalem, however, the names of both Palestinians and Israelis who are killed are given much more prominence in media coverage and public discussions.
Can we talk about a "Palestinian state" that is capable of being recognized? Or is it rather an artifice destined to become a new failed state in a region where there are already too many? Will it become another state where the most extreme ideologies would be funded and legitimized? A new site for soldiers to travel to on international missions?
Meet Ali Suliman. Not only does Suliman embody all of the above qualities and possess each and every one of those talents, but he's also a great interview.
I often wonder if things would have turned differently if Fatah indeed had turned into a proper political party with a clear nation-building agenda, an economic plan, elections and rotation of power.
It remains to be seen what sort of response this petition elicits both in its favor, and in opposition; and whether it encourages comparable petitions at other institutions, academic or otherwise.
Leading Democrats in Washington have joined Republicans in claiming that the people killed and the dwellings destroyed from Israeli bombing and shelling were legitimate acts of self-defense against military targets and dismissing reports by reputable Israeli and international human rights groups saying otherwise.
Leave it to Netanyahu, however, to use the Gaza experience to justify the continuation of the occupation rather than working out airtight plans with the PA that would entail security measures to ensure that the West Bank does not become a staging ground for attacks on Israel.
What needs to become a success is not Abbas' campaign, but a negotiated two-state solution. Only an agreement in which both sides will take full responsibility for their present and future will be able to hold in the unexpected reality of the Middle-East.
The 1.8 million Palestinians who make Gaza their home are calling for help from anyone that is willing to hear them. What they need is not only a roof to live under, but, more importantly, a horizon that can give them hope for the future.
The exhibition shows the photographs of twelve artists, each with a unique angle of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The "conventional wisdom", as projected by some former U.S. officials and pro-Israel groups, is that Israelis will only make peace when they are given everything they want and feel secure. In fact, the opposite is true. It is only external pressure -- especially from the U.S. -- that historically has forced Israelis to make the right choice.
Between the incredible shrinking anti-Islamic State coalition and a childish, churlish war of words against America's steadfast ally, Israel, the boys and girls on Obama's national security staff are certainly doing their best to help Democrats lose more seats on the eve of the congressional elections.

Cassel's status for opener unclear
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Quarterback Matt Cassel appeared on Kansas City's practice field Monday for the first time since injuring his left knee on Aug. 29, but his status for Sunday's opener at Baltimore remained unclear.
AFC West blog
ESPN.com's Bill Williamson writes about all things AFC West in his division blog.
Cassel, who signed a six-year contract for a guaranteed $28 million, injured his knee on the third play of the third preseason game against Seattle. He was in full uniform Monday and did most of the conditioning drills in the short period the media were permitted to watch. If he does not start at Baltimore, the Chiefs would probably go with Brodie Croyle.
Coach Todd Haley was evasive whether Cassel would play Sunday.
"I think that as the week goes on, we'll know a little bit more," said Haley. "We'll know a little bit more with Matt for sure. But it was good that he was out there. He was able to get through some things. As the week goes on a little further, we'll know a little more as far as where he's at."
Cassel's backups, Croyle and Tyler Thigpen, were both inconsistent as the Chiefs went 0-4 in Haley's first preseason as their coach. Cassel, who stepped in for an injured Tom Brady with New England last year and won 11 games, hit 11 of 19 passes for 114 yards and one TD.
Croyle saw the most action and was 22 of 44 for 271 yards. The offense scored only two touchdowns in four preseason games.
"It's good this is a long week. That will help with anybody who's nicked up," said Haley. "I would say generally you would need to have a full practice to have a chance to play. Generally, you need to have a full Friday practice to have a chance."

Ryan Napolitano: Takes 'Mom and Pop' to State of the Art
To say Ryan Napolitano made some changes to his father's laboratory is an understatement. In 2003, Precision Craft was a 17-person, "mom-and-pop" operation in a 3,500-sq-ft space. Today, it has doubled in size—in terms of staff and dentist-clients—and operates in a $3.4 million, 14,000-sq-ft facility.
"When I came aboard, it was still very much the lab I had grown up in," says Ryan, who worked in the lab since age 10 and formally joined in 2003 after earning a degree in communications and marketing. "Everything was run on a day-to-day basis; work came in, work went out. There was no...

The Green Bay Packers, in sudden-death overtime, drive the ball down the field repeatedly against a sturdy defense, but every time they get within kicker Mason Crosby's 50-yard range for a game-winning field goal, the officials move the goal post back 10 yards. Can't happen? Not in football, but in games managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, it can and does. Just ask the Grafton Village Board. The village can win the game if it can rebuild the Bridge Street Dam to make this community asset safe and attractive and compliant with DNR rules. But whenever it gets close to accomplishing that, the DNR changes the rules. In 2009 the DNR declared the dam a "significant hazard" and ordered the village to either remove it or rebuild it to meet state regulations by 2019. After voters made it emphatically clear in a 2010 referendum that the dam should not be demolished, the Village Board voted to fix it and include a fish passage, a decision that should have pleased just about everyone—the dam would be retained to preserve the picturesque millpond that is part of Grafton's identity, but valuable fish species would be able to migrate upstream to spawn. It was a winning move—until the DNR moved the goalpost. The same agency that said removing the dam was an option decided in 2011 that the structure was an essential block to the upstream movement of invasive species and diseased fish and the fishway would not be allowed unless it was of the trap-and-sort variety that required monitoring by trained personnel.
That decision, issued after Ozaukee County had invested months of work and a vast sum of federal money in designing the fish passage, was another game-changer. It made the fishway so complicated that the Village Board ruled it out of the dam rehab plan.
The board then took the sensible, straight-forward approach of preparing to simply do whatever work is needed on the dam to make it comply with Wisconsin law regulating dams and flood control. The cost would be $410,000, of which about half would be covered by a DNR grant. Victory was in sight at last. Village officials were perhaps warming up for a Lambeau leap. Then the DNR moved the goalpost again by digging up an administrative rule that requires flood gates to be installed in the dam at a cost of $300,000 or more. So as things stand, it is not enough that the dam would satisfy the state law governing flood control. Now it must comply with an arcane administrative rule and be fitted with flood control gates so that, according to the DNR, the water level in the millpond can be lowered for dam inspection and maintenance and in emergencies. This determination was made in spite of the facts that: underwater inspection works fine; the dam that Grafton has had for roughly a century does not have floodgates and there has been no catastrophe; the DNR has said the dam is an essential impediment to invasive species but now says it's OK to breach it with flood gates; the administrative rule does not need to be enforced. The DNR catches a lot of flak for its regulatory efforts. Much of this is undeserved. The agency has a crucial role to play in protecting Wisconsin's natural resources, and it often has to step on toes to do it. But in its confounding performance in the Bridge Street Dam saga, it looks like an agency trying to justify its reputation as a bureaucracy that regulates in ways so illogical it seems to be doing it just for the sake of regulating. The next move is up to the Village Board. Whatever it is, it could trigger another goal post move. So with the deadline for improving the dam still seven years away, it might be a good time to call a time-out and wait a bit. Maybe there will be a different officiating crew for the next game.
America is an unlikely country to be in the throes of a campaign against public education. In a nation founded on the principle engraved on history by its Declaration of Independence, that all people are created equal, public education has been the great equalizer. With education paid for by the public and available to all regardless of means, a nation of immigrants, many of them impoverished, became the greatest economic power on earth, and it remains so. Rick Santorum, a candidate for president who has ranked first or second in opinion polls of Republican voters, attacks American public schools as "big factories" that spend too much time on academics and too little on teaching morals. The father of seven children who are being home-schooled, he says education should be run by parents. Generations of Americans, including presidents, rocket scientists and business titans, are products of those "factories," yet public education, once revered, is now disparaged as a symptom of something wrong with society. Santorum's attack on public schools has consisted only of words, but Wisconsin has been witness to actions that have the potential to cause lasting damage to public education. Wisconsin has cut aid to public schools more than any of 24 states studied by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. At the same time, the budget proposed by Gov. Scott Walker and passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature increased taxpayer spending in support of private schools. There is a whiff of that sentiment in the Port Washington-Saukville School Board election, in which three of the candidates are running on a single issue—cutting teacher compensation. They have criticized the School Board for agreeing to a contract with teachers before the state's Act 10 limiting teacher benefits and collective bargaining took effect—even though the contract required greater teacher concessions than Act 10 and resulted in a decrease in the local property tax rate.
With state tax revenue shrunken by the recession, increased teacher contributions toward their health and retirement benefits were needed, but to keep hammering on the issue is to say that teachers should be paid less. More so than in other occupations, benefits are part of teacher pay. The candidates should explain how they think education is served by further reducing that pay. Wisconsin ranks in the lower half of states in teacher compensation. Overall, its public employees, including teachers, earn 4.8% less in total compensation (salary plus benefits) than comparable private sector workers, according to the Economic Policy Institute, a non-partisan research organization. The U.S. ranks below most developed countries in teacher pay. American teachers earn less than 60% of the average pay for college-educated workers. American students are lagging in achievement behind those of a number of other countries. A common denominator in many of those countries is that teaching is an honored profession that demands more from its members than in the U.S., but more generously rewards its best practitioners. In the U.S., a presidential aspirant says public school teachers are essentially unnecessary; meanwhile local candidates promise to try to cut teacher pay if elected. If there's a formula for improving education here, we're missing it. Santorum's backward ideas on education may soon be forgotten sound bites. But in the Port-Saukville School District, two of candidates campaigning to cut teacher benefits got the most votes in the primary election, suggesting that their chances of success in the general election are good. Surely, then, they owe the citizens who will vote in that election more than yet another attack on teacher benefits. Let voters hear what they propose to do to improve, or even maintain, the quality of education in Port-Saukville schools. If the cost of education is their issue, what is their plan for implementing merit pay that would help meet budget restraints but encourage and reward the best teachers? Or do they have a better idea? Are some constructive ideas about public education too much to ask?
Officials of the townships of Ozaukee County have generally said the right things about farmland preservation: That steps need to be taken to protect land used for agriculture from development so farmers can continue to earn their livelihoods and other residents can continue to enjoy the towns' rural character. Yet when it came to acting on these good intentions by participating in the state program designed to preserve farmland and the farming life, three town governments took a pass. The Port Washington, Saukville and Grafton Town Boards voted to not participate in the Working Lands Initiative. Only the towns of Belgium and Cedarburg agreed to take part in the program. The Fredonia Town Board is considering it. The three towns that rejected the Working Lands Initative gave essentially the same reason—we don't need the state; we can protect farmland with our zoning. Perhaps, but the Working Lands Initiative was approved by the Legislature expressly because local governments in many counties had been ineffective in protecting farmland. While the state initiative offers a stable framework for protecting farmland, local zoning can change at the whim of current office holders. Saukville Town Chairman Barb Job lent credence to that, perhaps inadvertently, in a letter to Andrew Struck, county director of planning and parks, that was meant to explain her stand against the Working Lands Initiative. She wrote that in the past the town had failed to follow its own preservation guidelines and rezoned so many acres for residential use that much of the town is no longer viable for future farming. Struck has been working to fulfill the state's requirement that Ozaukee County create a county Working Lands Initiative. The town boards' refusal to join the initiative not only complicates that effort, but makes the farmers in their townships ineligible to benefit from the $7.50 per acre annual tax credit available to farmland owners in designated preservation areas.
The Working Lands Initiative is, however, not the only route to preserving farmland. The gold standard in that realm was on display recently when the Ozaukee County Board accepted a donation from the Tim Kaul family of a conservation easement on 41 acres of pretty farmland in the Town of Grafton.
Conservation easements protect farmland from development in perpetuity. As in the Kauls' case, farmers and their heirs continue to own land, farm it and live on it, often with provisions for home sites for family members. This is absolute protection of farmland, keeping it safe from zoning or law changes and tempting offers from developers. The Kauls accepted no payment for the easement, but conservation easements often involve a financial consideration, and there is hope that funds will be available in the future to make it easier for others to follow the Kauls' inspiring example. Tim Kaul, in his service as a County Board member, chairman of the county Land Preservation Board and founding member of the Ulao Creek Partnership, has been one of the county's leading advocates of farmland preservation. It's personal with him—his family has farmed in rural Grafton for 123 years, and he has shepherded the protection of 112 acres of his family's land with easements. But his efforts have been motivated too by knowledge that preventing the wholesale development of farmland is in everyone's interest. Sure, it's about farming. Development, like those countryside subdivisions with five-acre lots, diminish the land available for agriculture—in the past 30 years, Ozaukee County has lost more than 30,000 acres of farmland—and can put pressure on farming operations in other ways. Occupants of McMansions are usually not too enthused about the smell of manure on the morning air. But it's also about the future Ozaukee County residents want. Survey after survey has shown that people here value the rural character of the land surrounding the county's cities and villages. Farming, meaning not just the tilled fields, but the natural areas, including wetlands and woodlots, that are part of many farms, keeps land open and green, protecting clear vistas and habitat. It's true some farmers want to harvest value from their land as real estate when they're done farming. That's understandable, and possible, where zoning permits it. But others want their land to stay in service as a producer of food, honoring their family traditions of working the land. They could use some help. The Working Farms Initiative, in which participation by farmers is totally voluntary, provides it. The towns that have rejected it should reconsider.

Joe South, Of 'Games People Play' Fame, Dies
Joe South, who wrote such '60s and '70s hits as Games People Play and (I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden, died Wednesday of an apparent heart attack at his home in Buford, Ga. He was 72.
South had quite a career, as the bio on his website shows. He was a session guitarist on such seminal albums as Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and Simon and Garfunkel's The Sounds of Silence. Then there was his solo success with Games People Play and the big hit that Lynn Anderson had with Rose Garden.
What really surprised us, though, is that he also wrote Deep Purple's first hit: Hush. For those of you who only know that band for Smoke on the Water, we recommend you check out Hush. It's among VH1's "100 greatest" hard rock tunes.

Cookin with The Columns: Good for your waistline
There are many of you who are doing Weight Watchers now, and I thought I would put another Weight Watchers recipe in for today.
This time of the year, everybody is thinking about soup. The colder it gets, the more I love to eat soup for dinner. We usually think of chowder as being a seafood dish but this one uses chunks of potatoes and corn instead. It sounds like it would be good even if you are not on a diet. In fact, we all should be more careful about how much we eat, so give this one a try!

For thousands of years, people have been launching themselves onto water to fish, trade, fight, and explore -- and doing so in ways that have profoundly shaped human institutions and the rise and decline of civilizations.

BCS ticket prices falling (but so is the number of available seats)
Procrastination pays.
For those fans who waited until the last minute to buy tickets to Monday night's national championship football game in South Florida, now's the time to buy.
Ticket prices have fallen by about half since Dec. 1, when the University of Alabama clinched its spot in the title game. The average price is about $1,500 as of Monday morning, with the cheapest seats costing $865, according to the ticket-tracking services SeatGeek and TiqIQ.
But there are only about 2,200 to 3,000 tickets available from third-party brokers right now. So though the price could fall more, this is probably the best time to buy.
"We always see this: Prices are highest on the day of an announcement for the latest concert or a national title game," said Will Flaherty, SeatGeek's communications director for the ticket-tracking firm.
"Fans think: 'Oh no, I need to act quickly and get the best price for my tickets.' But that's often one of the worst times to buy," he said. "Ticket prices tend to fall when you get closer to game time."'
Assuming a buyer times his purchase properly, Flaherty said tickets could go for as low as $700 (a little more than double the face value of the cheapest wholesale tickets). He said that the average overall ticket price for this event is about $1,700 — the most-expensive event since the 2007 Super Bowl in Miami.
"I'd recommend buying from online retailers who have some sort of guarantee that you will receive legit tickets and not fakes (safest way)," Chris Matcovich, TiqIQ's data and communications director, said in an email.
"There maybe good deals on Craigslist and amongst scalpers outside the stadium, but doing that you run the risk of losing hundreds of dollars if the ticket is a fake," he wrote. "If people do decide to buy from people outside the stadium, one way to protect yourself from buying fakes is by asking the seller to walk to the gate with you to make sure you get in."

From the Publisher Winner of the 2007 Crime Writers' Association Debut DaggerA delightfully dark English mystery, featuring precocious young sleuth Flavia de Luce and her eccentric family.The summer of 1950 hasn't offered up anything out of the ordinary for eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce: bicycle explorations around the village, keeping tabs on her neighbours, relentless battles with her older sisters, Ophelia and Daphne, and brewing up poisonous concoctions while plotting revenge in their home's abandoned Victorian chemistry lab, which Flavia has claimed for her own.But then a series of mysterious events gets Flavia's attention: A dead bird is found on the doormat, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. A mysterious late-night visitor argues with her aloof father, Colonel de Luce, behind closed doors. And in the early morning Flavia finds a red-headed stranger lying in the cucumber patch and watches him take his dying breath. For Flavia, the summer begins in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw: "I wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn't. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life."Did the stranger die of poisoning? There was a piece missing from Mrs. Mullet's custard pie, and none of the de Luces would have dared to eat the awful thing. Or could he have been killed by the family's loyal handyman, Dogger… or by the Colonel himself! At that moment, Flavia commits herself to solving the crime — even if it means keeping information from the village police, in order to protect her family. But then her father confesses to the crime, for the same reason, and it's up to Flavia to free him of suspicion. Only she has the ingenuity to follow the clues that reveal the victim's identity, and a conspiracy that reaches back into the de Luces' murky past.A thoroughly entertaining romp of a novel, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is inventive and quick-witted, with tongue-in-cheek humour that transcends the macabre seriousness of its subject.From the Hardcover edition.

Rectangle Backyard design help!
Hi Guys! New to the forum and basically new to landscaping/backyard designing. I am purchasing a new house (fixer upper) and would LOVE some help on the basic design of the backyard. This needs to be as cheap as possible but make it look as nice as possible (of course!). No concrete pouring or any professional, just things I can do myself.
I am thinking of doing edging with mulch on both sides of the yard, but not sure if I should have a second seating area further down the yard? (there is already one when you first enter the backyard). I attached a picture of the backyard along with a rough sketch of what I have.
My plan is to use a dark mulch in those areas and plant various small trees/shrubs so it looks fresh but its less work and looks really clean. I'm just unsure of the design of the edging and how far to come in and how much "wavy" lines I should use in the design.
Any input is appreciated! Thank you.
The trouble with your pictures is that they look unrelated. There's no way to tell how the 2nd picture fits with the first. And the plan doesn't help because the arbor business does not show up there either.
Guessing, I'd think you'd want the grass shape almost opposite of what you're proposing. I'm thinking it would look better if the grass were fatter at its central area -- like oval or similar -- rather than pinch-waisted. Is the line of squares, stepping stones? Why duplicate a path that the grass could serve just as well?
You'd be doing yourself a favor if you make any edging flush with grade and at least 8" wide. The usually stuff people do detracts rather than adds.
Are you flipping this house, and therefore looking for something attractive and quick? Or is this a 'keeper', where you are constrained by budget but can invest the time?
I agree, the photos aren't in relation to one another. I have no idea what area the second photo is showing, or what direction it's facing.
Basic questions:
1) This being CA and a drought situation, what's your water requirements?
2) What's your Sunset zone, which is much more useful than the USDA zone?
3) How much sun, and how many hours of the day?
4) What is the expected usage of this space? Decorative? A BBQ grill and seating somewhere? A place for kids to play?
If you want free advice, specifics are essential.
I see pavers under the pergola, so I assume the paver area in your sketch is where the pergola is. That's a nice pergola and if you clean up all the junk, it could be beautiful with a nice table and chairs. You could hang lanterns for lighting, and even put a fire pit in there for cool evenings.
I agree that a more oval lawn would look nice.
Please answer the basic questions in the post above. It will help us help you.

The new China, the nation that in 25 years has changed beyond all recognition is becoming an industrial powerhouse for the world. James Kynge shows not only the extraordinary rise of the Chinese economy, but what the future holds as China begins to influence the world. On the eve of the British industrial revolution some 230 years ago, China accounted for one third of the global economy. In 1979, after 30 years of Communism, its economy contributed only two per cent to global GDP. Now it is back up to five per cent, and rising. Although China is already a palpable force in the world, its re-emergence is only just starting to be felt. Kynge shows China's weaknesses - its environmental pollution, its crisis in social trust, its weak financial system and the faltering institutions of its governments - which are poised to have disruptive effects on the world. The fall-out from any failure in China's rush to modernity or simply from a temporary economic crash in the Chinese economy would be felt around the world.
James Kynge has been a journalist in Asia for 19 years, covering many of the big events that have helped shape the region, including the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. For seven years he was China Bureau Chief of the Financial Times in Beijing. He speaks Mandarin fluently and has won a plethora of journalism awards. He graduated MA (hons) in Chinese and Japanese from Edinburgh University, lives in Beijing and is married with three children.
