Girls treated for Hodgkin's disease during adolescence acquire a considerable risk of developing breast cancer, as shown by an observational study published in the current issue of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International. The study, which was carried out by Günther Schellong and his colleagues in the German Working Group on the Long-Term Sequelae of Hodgkin's Disease, has an unusually long follow-up time (average 17.8 years, maximum 33 years).
Related Articles
The incidence figures for secondary breast cancer are based on long-term observation of 590 female patients in the German-Austrian pediatric treatment trials dating back to the years 1978 to 1995. The authors estimate that 19% of the girls treated with radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease develop secondary breast cancer within 30 years as a result of that therapy. Because of these findings, a structured screening program for breast cancer in this high-risk group has been set up in Germany, making use of existing structures put in place by the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Deutsches Konsortium für familiären Brust- und Eierstockkrebs).
The study authors recommend that, when supradiaphragmatic radiotherapy is necessary in girls over the age of 9, the part(s) of the chest exposed to the radiation should be kept as small as medically justifiable. This will allow the risk of breast cancer to be kept as low as possible.

Benghazi Review Board Chair Says Notion Of Cover Up Is 'Pulitzer Prize Fiction'
"Benghazi Review Board Chair Says Notion Of Cover Up Is 'Pulitzer Prize Fiction'"
"I think the notion of a quote, cover up, has all the elements of Pulitzer Prize fiction attached to it," former Ambassador Thomas Pickering said on MSNBC. He also rebutted claims that the review board tried to protect former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from scrutiny:
PICKERING: I saw no evidence of it. She did publicly take responsibility for what happened below her and indeed one of the things the Congress did in preparing the legislation that established the Accountability Review Board was to say we don't want a situation where heads of agencies take responsibility and then nobody who made the decision in the chain has to suffer any consequences for failure for performance. I believe in fact the Accountability Review Board did it's work well. I think the notion of a quote, cover up, has all the elements of Pulitzer Prize fiction attached to it.
Pickering wanted to testify at today's House Oversight Committee hearings on the Benghazi attacks, which was billed as letting State Department officials expose an Obama administration cover-up of wrong-doing in handing the aftermath of the attacks. "I am willing to testify," Pickering said. "I made that clear yesterday and the White House I understand made that clear to [Committee chair Rep. Darrell] Issa [R-CA]. He declined. I don't know the reasons for that." Pickering also countered claims that the military could have done more to respond to the attacks:
PICKERING: The aircraft at Aviano were 2 to 3 hours away but there were no refueling aircraft available. I think that speaks for itself. It has all along. I don't see any contradiction. … There should be no controversy over that. Aircraft were there but they were not available in a time span that could have made any serious difference in connection with the issue.
Earlier on Wednesday, Republican Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) shot down his colleagues' conspiracy theory laden claims about the Obama administration and Benghazi. "We need to know were these people culpable or not. If they were, why are they still on the payroll? Other than that, I've been able to read all the cables. I've seen the films," Corker said. "I feel like I know what happened in Benghazi. I'm fairly satisfied."

The Times Herald (
BAMBI KOHLER: These boys of summer are a real dream
Sunday, August 25, 2013
By KATIE BAMBI KOHLER
"The U.S. began using professional athletes at the Games -—Dream Teams. I always found that term ironic because now that we have Dream Teams, we seldom ever get a chance to dream." — Kurt Russell as Herb Brooks from the movie "Miracle"
The term "Dream Team" came into popularity in 1992 when the NBA sent a group of players headed by Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson to the Olympics. They have continued to follow this practice every four years. Teams filled with a collection of All-Stars don't dream about winning — it's all but a lock.
Now Dreams Teams exist in every level of sports. The Little League World Series, which comes to a close today, features a collection of the top players from different parts of the United States and other countries. Over the course of the last 10 days the games have been televised, and each error and tear has been on display for the world to see.
It seems adults are conflicted with youth sports. Some believe the "everybody gets a trophy, lets not keep score yet" mentality kills a competitive spirit and doesn't prepare kids for a world where not everybody wins. Others think childhood is lost spending summers at sports camps and on traveling teams.
From having played sports and being a fan, I believe youth sports should be a learning experience, a lesson in teamwork and an opportunity to compete.
I can think of no better example of that than the Skippack Stars, a group of 13 12-year-old boys who traveled to Cooperstown, New York to take part in a tournament at Dreams Field from July 27 to Aug. 2. The local "Boys of Summer" advanced to the Sweet 16 in field of 104 teams finishing with a record of 7-2.
All the boys are part of Lower Perkiomen Little League. Each year after rec-season an all-star team is selected and they play in the Little League All-Star tournament which ends in July. The team stays together and plays travel ball through the fall, work out in the winter and play more travel ball in the spring.
They played about 90 games together over the last two years.
"That's a light schedule compared to some teams," added head coach Tom Moore Sr. "Being away from home where the only thing to do is play baseball is an awesome thing for these boys to experience at a young age."
Were the boys tired of baseball or of each other? Far from it.
"It's better than anything playing with these guys," said David Smith (SS, P, OF).
They where thrilled to have the opportunity to play in Cooperstown, home of baseball's Hall of Fame.
"It's senior week for 12-year-old baseball players," said David's mom Diana.
"It was so much fun," said Tommy Moore Jr. (3B, 1B, P). "The whole team stayed together in the barracks."
Tommy, who enjoyed the "Who's on First" Abbot and Costello bit played on repeat at the museum, is part of the team's comic relief. He is also a part of the "Despicable Alley" part of the barracks that sounds a lot more fun than the Yankees "Murderers Row".
"It smelled really bad but a lot of funny things happen," said coach Moore.
Instead of players swapping steroids, each team designs its own pins for the tournament, and players try to gather as many as they can.
Aside from the fun, there are plenty of games. Cooperstown Dreams Field hosts 13 weeks of tournaments that begin in May and bring teams from all of the country and some parts of Canada.
"Most of the teams there are fairly high quality. Some are insanely high. It's a chance for the boys to spend a week playing baseball against different levels of competition," said coach Moore.
Smith pitched three games, but his highlights came in the field with two diving catches and at the plate with two home runs. He is a Yankee fan, but I couldn't hold it against him since his opinion on Alex Rodriguez and the performance enhancing drug scandal was more insightful than anything I have heard from the talking heads on ESPN.
Kyle Dawson (3B, CF, P) is a native New Yorker who idolizes Derek Jeter down to his No. 2 jersey and slick fielding. His "Cooperstown moment" came when he took and 3-1 pitch and smacked it for his first career grand slam.
"I thought it would hit the fence. I'm lucky it went over," said Dawson.
Their week-long trip ended against "an absurdly good team" according to coach Smith. It still provided the feel good moment for Tommy Smith Jr., who rang up a bases loaded strikeout against the opposing teams slugger.
The tournament officially ended the Skippack Stars Little League career. The next step brings bigger fields, different pitches and executing the intricacies of baseball like hitting behind the runner. Coach Moore noted that 80 percent of Little Leaguers retire at the age of twelve.
"These boys are all good enough to move on. It was special group to coach and I am very lucky," said coach Moore. "I hope the feeling they got playing in Cooperstown is going to carry over for them and hopefully they will stay involved in the game of baseball."
The boys love the game. They proudly wear their uniforms and hats and show off their prize pins. The rest of their life right now is a dream.
They could lead their high school team to the state title, toss a perfect game in Legion Ball in front of a scout, get a college scholarship and pitch in the warm Florida weather, or be on the mound in 2026 for their first MLB start in red pin stripes for the Phillies.
If they never stop dreaming, they will always be a Dream Team.

3 Ways Leaders Can Grow Sales
Sales growth starts at the top.
The executives we interviewed acknowledged that what they do—how they set the tone, show the vision and motivate—is essential in driving growth.
These are three stories of leaders doing just that:
1) Set A Vision:
The story of Will, global head of sales at a high-tech company, is a good illustration of a leader pushing his organization to rethink the way it serves customers.
When Will started thinking about how to serve customers differently, his company's direct sales force was second to none, and it set the industry standard in enterprise segments. But he was not satisfied with the status quo—he had a long-term view of how to serve customers better, particularly in emerging and fast-growing markets. Specifically, he believed the company's direct sales forces should work with channel partners to expand its footprint in the enterprise segment. The company had worked with channel partners to serve small and mid-size customers. But direct sales had always had sole responsibility for enterprise sales and was understandably proud and protective.
No leader wants to upset a successful, powerful sales organization, but Will saw that growth was more important than preserving the status quo. He decided to grant channel partners a license to hunt freely for enterprise customers in fast-growing markets and asked sales leaders in four countries to pilot a program to let partners sell enterprise solutions on their own, with targeted support from the company's direct sales force. The sales leaders' reaction was predictable. They said it was too risky and that would lead to these accounts being lost. They argued that some partners didn't even have the right capabilities to win these deals and the company's competitors would have a field day. They also worried that this approach would hurt the company's margins.
If their pessimism had proved accurate we wouldn't be telling you this story.
After one year, this new model produced amazing results. In those countries that adopted Will's new approach, growth soared to 25 percent year-on-year. And far from damaging margins, they actually rose by a few points.
By challenging the status quo and received sales wisdom, Will sent a clear message to his sales leaders: they, too, should always question their ways of doing business with customers and partners—to see what lucrative new opportunities might exist.
2) Galvanize your team:
Consider the case of Neil, the CEO of a national telecommunications operator in an emerging market. One day, he astonished his leadership team by announcing a bold "3x3x3" growth aspiration: three years to expand beyond his home country, three years to expand beyond his region, and three years to become a leading global brand.
By articulating his goals so simply, he painted an inspiring picture of the journey ahead that everyone could understand, and also broke the long-term goal into medium-term steps that were easy to understand—individually exciting, and easily measurable.
Seven years later, when the company's operations had reached over 20 countries across multiple continents, Neil wanted all employees, and the outside world, to have the same understanding of what this company stood for. He challenged his team to develop a compelling, innovative, and emotionally engaging way to articulate the company's aspiration. His team came up with the idea of using the notion of a "new birth" as the analogy for the company's new life. The team wrote a short memo in the style of a child telling the world what she wanted to become when she grew up, what moved her, and what her "promise" to the world was.
This was captured in a movie in which a 7-year-old girl read the letter out aloud from an empty stage under a single spotlight. The video was broadcast simultaneously to the top 400 managers at a major launch event, and e-mailed to all employees.
Many seasoned executives reportedly left the meeting with tears in their eyes, after a standing ovation. Neil's story is a good example of how a compelling vision and strong emotional leadership can galvanize a team towards very ambitious growth goals. Once he has his growth story, Neil seized every opportunity to talk about it with employees, reinforcing what the story was about, drawing out its relevance to different parts of the business, and prompting sales reps to find their own personal meanings.
3) Demand results, results, results:
Laura is the North America head of sales for a consumer packaged goods company.
She inherited a strong brand and good customer relationships when she took over her job. But her first instinct was that there was still room to grow. From day one, she started working with her team, aligning on a collective aspiration for growth.
Her sales team quickly got to know her as somebody who places a very high bar on performance. They also recognized that she had the energy and passion to help them achieve that performance. While she was competitive and focused on customers (and spent a lot of time out of her office meeting them), she was not a relationship leader.
But, because she was aware of her own blind spots, she favored leaders on her team who were relationship developers.
In her drive for the best sales results possible, Laura focused on two simple ideas with her team. First, she made sure roles and responsibilities for growth were completely clear, down and across her organization. She insisted on one point of accountability to make clear who was accountable for important activities. Two, she was rigorous at moving talent around in her organization to reward high performers and position them to drive growth.
Laura had been in the trenches and used stories from her own experience as a frontline sales rep to inspire her team. She asked direct questions to get to know accounts inside-out and participated in forecast calls, asking probing questions to and followed up with resources and investments to pursue opportunities. No detail was too small. In another context, Laura might have been perceived as an overly controlling micro-manager. But her team responded positively because she had credibility and they saw that she matched her high demands for performance with her own passion and drive and was willing to collaborate to help her team win.
The most senior sales leaders set the tone for everyone else in the organization, therefore their role has the greatest impact in influencing the behaviors and attitudes of sales managers and employees alike. Great sales leaders know that everyone in their organization takes their cue from them as to what really matters. So, like Will, they are clear when they want change, they know how to excite and inspire their organization like Neil, and they roll up their sleeves like Laura and get involved to help their teams deliver results.

Hello, great content. I couldn't agree more with the need for clarity and accountability. That's two missing ingredients for most sales teams. For some great tips check out www.salesmeetingtools.com

The call for papers asked to cast "a critical eye on the practice and purpose of sustainability-focused education, and its successes and failures, thus far". We approach this task in this paper through two lenses that have not yet been very visible in the education for sustainable development (ESD) discourse. One is the lens of disability studies which is the inquiry around the lived reality of disabled people; the other is the lens of ability studies which among others investigates (a) which abilities are seen as essential in a given context; (b) the dynamic of how an ability expectation consensus is reached, if it is reached and (c) the impact of ability expectations. We conclude that (a) no consensus has been reached within ESD discourses as to the process of how to identify essential abilities and as to a list of abilities seen as important and (b) that disabled people are invisible in the formal and informal ESD discourse. We expect the paper to be of interest to disabled people, ESD scholars, teachers of ESD in different educational settings, students of ESD training, NGOs involved in ESD as well as policy makers involved in ESD.
Increasingly, the notion takes hold that we cannot go on living as usual. Given this growing environmental insecurity, much effort has been put into promoting sustainable development. Various international documents highlight the importance of sustainable development (SD) [ "[ESD] helps societies to address different priorities and issues
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) promotes ESD for addressing current and future needs through education by harmonizing environmental, societal, cultural and economic considerations in the pursuit of an enhanced quality of life.
According to UNESCO:
"Education for Sustainable development:
is based on the principles and values that underlie sustainable development; deals with the well-being of all four dimensions of sustainability–environment, society, culture and economy; uses a variety of pedagogical techniques that promote participatory learning and higher-order thinking skills; promotes lifelong learning; is locally relevant and culturally appropriate; is based on local needs, perceptions and conditions, but acknowledges that fulfilling local needs often has international effects and consequences; engages formal, non-formal and informal education; accommodates the evolving nature of the concept of sustainability; addresses content, taking into account context, global issues and local priorities; builds civil capacity for community-based decision-making, social tolerance, environmental stewardship, an adaptable workforce, and a good quality of life; is interdisciplinary. No single discipline can claim ESD for itself; all disciplines can contribute to ESD [sic]"
If one looks at ESD through the lens of disability studies and ability studies, a few issues arise which we want to highlight in this paper.
Disability Studies is an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary academic discipline that investigates the situation disabled people face [
Ability studies is linked to disability studies in the sense that disability studies covers people who are impacted by body related (physical, mental…) ability expectations. However, ability studies goes beyond body related ability expectations. Social entities from individuals to societies as a whole [
Notably, no consensus has been reached within ESD discourses as to the process of how to identify essential abilities and as to (a) which abilities should be taught through ESD; (b) which abilities are needed to teach ESD and (c) which abilities are needed to learn from ESD. In our opinion, an Ability Studies lens is an important investigative tool that enables one to see barriers and opportunities for ESD.
Visibility of disabled/ability diverse people is one issue investigated within disability studies.
The 2010 report
Disabled people voice their discontent for not been part of the MDG process for many years [
Furthermore, although disabled people were mentioned in the 2010 MDG outcome document the 2012 MDG report does not mention disabled people even once. Disabled people, however, are not just looking at the MDGs but are already focusing on the post-2015 development agenda. The 2011 Durban declaration of Disabled People's International (DPI) states among others: "ENSURE that disability is an intrinsic part of the Millennium Development Goals and also of all development programmes post 2015 [sic]" [
To give a few examples: ESDind (Development of Indicators & Assessment Tools for Civil Society Organization (CSO) Projects Promoting Values-based Education for Sustainable Development), a 2009–2011 research project supported by the European Commission under its Seventh Framework Programme, states on their webpage:
"The ESDind's project partners included Research Organisations (RTDs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) who worked together to develop useful value-based indicators to be used in Education for Sustainable Development projects. The project design included consultation with CSO partners and a strong collaborative process. The research teams developed indicators relevant to organisations and projects, combining the on-the-ground knowledge of the CSOs with research in multiple fields, both in academic and public policy contexts".
The 166 indicators generated by ESDinds are very relevant to disabled people and are full of ability expectations. Reading through them one finds various indicators (indicators 44–47) that list social groups that are worthy of attention [
A 1998 report
In Sweden, the Institute for Research in ESD, in a survey, found three approaches to ESD:
Fact-based: inform the citizens (14% of teachers surveyed) Normative: teach the values and techniques of sustainability (52%) Pluralistic: engage the pupil/citizens in critical democratic debate that reflects many attitudes and encourages individual choice and action (34%) [
This begs the question what is seen as facts; what values are visible in the ESD discourse and what attitudes are reflected if certain social groups such as disabled people are not present?
Ability Studies is an inter/multidisciplinary field investigating how ability expectation (want stage) and ableism (need stage) hierarchies and preferences come to pass and the impact of such hierarchies and preferences [
The HCA was developed by Amartya Sen, Martha Nussbaum and Sudhir Anand (for many articles on this topic see [

Given that the very sentiment towards ability expectations is fluent, constantly evolving and multifaceted it is not surprising that different lists exist. It also seems to make sense to step back and to investigate how we come up with a list for something that we acknowledge fits ability studies scholars. Indeed, various scholars [
Amartya Sen stated in 2013:
"There is also a related 'social choice' problem, in determining the priorities between different kinds of freedoms, or—for that matter—even in the identification of different types of needs and the priorities between them (cf. Sen 1995, 1999b). If these identifications and priorities are to be determined by a process of democratic social choice, then there has to be freedom of discussion as well as freedom of political participation to allow the democratic process to work. Indeed, even the formation of values, including consumption behavior, may depend crucially on open public discussion; and in this sense, freedom may have some claim to priority over the identification of needs and their relative importance".
To stay with the social choice problem highlighted by Sen, the ability expectations we choose whether as individual or another social structure impacts ESD discourses. We need to be clear about the ability expectation biases that drive how we define problems and solutions to the problem; for example we have to be clear whether we base our reasoning on anthropocentric or bio/eco-centric reasoning.
What we need is a taxonomy of ability expectations existing within ESD and SD discourses, the ability expectations put forward by social groups and an identification of which ability expectations are linked to which problems and solutions. This allows us to ascertain what a given proposal put forward within SD and ESD discourses can and cannot achieve and whom the given proposal can or cannot serve and whom it impacts in which way. Often, it seems that people do not have the complete picture and as such make decisions based on incomplete understanding of the problem and the consequences of a solution they adhere to. Having the taxonomy might be one tool that might allow people to make informed choices and being accountable for their choices.
So far no single list of ability expectations for the purpose of ESD exists. Some might say that one list cannot exist as demands put forward by different social groups are just too diverse. However, if that is not achievable we at least need an ability expectation impact assessment of how the different lists intersect and which lists benefit whom, and what the limitations are as to what and whose problems they can solve given competing ability expectations evident in different lists. We also need a working mechanism that allows us to resolve ability expectation conflicts between different social groups. Various conflict resolution mechanisms exist [

Yale signs agreement to preserve need-based financial aid
Yale is among 28 leading private colleges and universities -- including Columbia, Cornell and Stanford -- that have agreed to use a common set of standards when determining students' financial aid needs.
The new guidelines will reduce the amount of parental contributions in most cases, and increase the amount of aid provided by the institutions. Yale, for example, will increase its aid to students by about $1 million annually, beginning with the Class of 2006, according to President Richard C. Levin.
In recent years, increased competition among colleges for outstanding students prompted some schools to
By signing this agreement, the participating institutions reaffirmed their commitment to admitting students regardless of their financial resources and to providing an aid package that permits them to attend the college of their choice.
"Yale has long recognized the importance of offering educational opportunities to outstanding students without regard for their ability to pay," said Levin, noting Yale extended its need-blind admissions policy to international students last year.
"Some schools, however, have increasingly moved toward merit-based scholarships, which take limited financial aid funds away from the students who need it most," Levin added. "By committing themselves to need-blind admissions and need-based aid through this agreement, Yale and the other participating institutions are ensuring that future generations of scholars will continue to have access to high-quality higher education regardless of their financial circumstances."
The new guidelines are also designed to bring greater clarity, simplicity and fairness to the financial aid process by eliminating the disparities in the formulas used to assess the educational expenses families are expected to pay.
One major change under the new agreement is that colleges will expect students to use only 5% of the money in their savings accounts each year -- instead of 25% to 35%, as required under most traditional formulas. The guidelines also standardize the criteria for assessing home equity, the contributions required from divorced parents and step-parents, and the higher cost of living in a major metropolis, among other factors.
Recognizing the value of need-based financial aid, Congress created an antitrust exemption in 1994 that sanctioned efforts by eligible institutions -- i.e., those practicing need-blind admissions -- to discuss and agree upon common principles of financial aid need-analysis. Two years ago, an ad hoc group of college and university presidents chaired by Cornell President Hunter Rawlings was formed under the umbrella of this federal legislation. The new guidelines are a result of this collaboration.
In addition to Yale, the participating institutions are: Amherst College, Boston College, Bowdoin College, Claremont McKenna College, Columbia University, Cornell University, Davidson College, Duke University, Emory University, Georgetown University, Haverford College, Macalester College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Middlebury College, Northwestern University, Pomona College, Rice University, Stanford University, Swarthmore College, University of Chicago, University of Notre Dame, University of Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt University, Wake Forest University, Wellesley College, Wesleyan University and Williams College.

Siblings with recessive oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy
Hebbar, Srisha, Webberley, Michael J., Lunt, Peter and Robinson, David O. (2007) Siblings with recessive oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. Neuromuscular Disorders, 17, (3), 254-257. (doi:10.1016/j.nmd.2006.11.009).
Full text not available from this repository.
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a late onset myopathy usually presenting in the 5th or 6th decade of life with progressive ptosis, dysphagia and proximal muscle weakness. It is usually dominantly inherited; however, a rare recessive form has also been described although documentation of such cases in the literature is very sparse. Here we report two siblings with recessive OPMD, in one of whom the clinical picture is complicated by ankylosing spondilitis and pneumonia. They exhibit later onset and milder symptoms than is typical for patients with dominantly inherited OPMD. This and the possibility that OPMD may be masked by symptoms of other diseases of the elderly may account for the paucity of cases of recessive OPMD reported in the literature.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Yellowstone the first week in September 2010. We have about five days. We must fly into Salt Lake City thought (SWA free tickets). Not sure to enter the parks south or West side and not sure where to stay. Is it suggested we stay in the park or just outside the park? Has anyone a preference and if so, where did you stay? We won't have camping gear and we aren't much into roughing it. We plan to rent a car. Help! any advice?

It will likely be quicker to enter the part at West Yellowstone. But think of it this way, no matter where you enter, you will get to take in the park's sights and sounds as you drive to your hotel. Speaking of hotels, you should stay in the park, specifically at the Old Faithful Inn. This place is an icon. get more info here: http://bit.ly/9SVZzx

Jewish World Review March 2, 2005/ 21 Adar I 5765
Kathleen Parker Undoing the damage of male-bashing, one daughter at a time
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com |
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. While most American women obsess about the laments of frazzled mothers, a handful of their daughters at Wake Forest University are turning their attention to the study of that mysterious and often-demonized species fathers.
Yep, you read it right. Fathers. Dear ol' Dad. Remember him?
Each week, these young women (and one young man, who signed up because he hopes to be a good father someday) arrange their desks in a circle with Dr. Linda Nielsen, psychologist, professor and author, to learn about fathers and fatherhood in the only such college course in the country.
The class is not a therapy session or support group, but a tough college course like any other, involving research, reading, field projects, papers, tests and grades. It's just harder than most because the course also involves introspection, self-analysis and the search for insight into one of life's most important relationships.
I attended a class recently, both as an observer and quasi-lecturer, at Nielsen's invitation. Nielsen's and my discovery of one another was like that scene in "The Count of Monte Cristo" where Edmond Dantes suddenly hears the tapping of another inmate through the dungeon floor and realizes, joyously, that he's not alone. Together they labored to tunnel their way out of captivity and darkness into freedom and light.
Similarly, these young people dig deeply to liberate themselves from the dark male stereotypes that pervade our culture, enlightening themselves in order to embrace their fathers. The title of Nielsen's book and the course textbook is "Embracing Your Father: How to Build the Relationship You've Always Wanted With Your Dad" (Click HERE to purchase. Sales help fund JWR.)
Despite the popularity of Nielsen's class, now in its 15th year, and rave reviews from alumni, Nielsen has received scant attention from our nation's literary and cultural gatekeepers. She understands the problem. It is, after all, her job to understand the psychology of groupthink and the unconscious motivations of human beings.
Nielsen prefers to deal in reality, however, and is fearlessly steadfast in her conviction that most young women have been brainwashed by the culture into believing that men are inferior to women and that everything lacking in the father-daughter relationship is Dad's fault. An avowed feminist, Nielsen tries to show her students that sometimes girls and women are not victims, but are arrangers of their own unhappiness and misfortune.
At the same time, Nielsen is careful not to demonize mothers, which she says would be counterproductive and unfair. Daughters need to respect the mother as well as the father part of themselves, which evolves from a deeper understanding of both parents.
Her approach is short on warm and fuzzy. She's a teacher, not a baby sitter, and instructs the old-fashioned way, using hard facts, statistics and research that bear out what women who've had good relationships with their fathers have always known that most fathers are lovely creatures who teach their daughters, among other things, self-respect.
How peculiar that so many girls today learn a different story, often from mothers who, sometimes hurt or embittered by divorce, communicate negative messages to their daughters. Movies, books, television and other media are equally culpable.
By contrast, Nielsen's book is full of documented facts that invariably take students by surprise. By learning, for example, that 2 million single dads are raising 3 million kids on their own, or that 80 percent of married fathers in this country earn most of the money for their families, students begin to see their fathers as hard-working, responsible men rather than as objectified wallets who routinely disappoint families by working too much.
They also learn that they share the responsibility for having a better relationship with Dad, and that fathers sometimes need permission to be more involved with their daughters. Such lessons offer dividends beyond grades, as expressed by grateful students who write to thank Nielsen for helping them discover their fathers as fellow travelers in life's journey rather than as obstacles to gratification.
All students learn that most invaluable of lessons, that Dad is also "just" a human being, perhaps flawed and even struggling, and that he, too, could use a little understanding. Just like his little girl.

Tool for building complete Linux filesystem images
Rootstrap was originally written to provide a facility for building filesystems for use with User-mode Linux, but can be useful in other applications as well.
It uses a modular set of shell scripts to create the filesystem image, install a base system, and customize it for a particular application. Currently, it only builds Debian systems, but the architecture is such that other base systems could be used instead.
Use of rootstrap does not require root access, or special privileges of any kind. This is because it builds the filesystem inside a User-mode Linux system running under an unprivileged uid.
Filesystem creation with rootstrap is quick and painless. With a local mirror and a single command, a fresh Debian filesystem can be created in about 3 minutes on relatively modest hardware.

LONDON (AP) - Buckle up.
Researchers say that more pollution is likely to mean bumpier flights for trans-Atlantic travelers, explaining that models show increased turbulence over the north Atlantic as carbon dioxide levels rise.
University of East Anglia climate expert Manoj Joshi says that scientists have long studied the impact of the carbon-heavy aviation industry on climate change. Unusually, he said, "we looked at the effect of climate change on aviation."
In a paper published Monday in Nature Climate Change Joshi and his University of Reading colleague Paul Williams ran a climate simulation which cranked up the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to twice its pre-industrial level.
What they found was a 10 to 40 percent increase in the median strength of turbulence over the North Atlantic in winter months.

The Trials of Oscar Wilde also known as The Man with the Green Carnation and The Green Carnation, is a 1960 British film based on the libel and subsequent criminal cases involving Oscar Wilde and the Marquess of Queensberry. It was produced by Irving Allen, written by Allen and Ken Hughes and directed by Hughes, Albert R. Broccoli and Harold Huth from a screenplay by Ken Hughes and Montgomery Hyde, based on the play The Stringed Lute by John Furnell. The film was made by Warwick Films and released by United Artists.
It stars Peter Finch as Wilde, Lionel Jeffries as Queensberry, and John Fraser as Bosie (Lord Alfred Douglas) with James Mason, Nigel Patrick, Yvonne Mitchell, Maxine Audley, Paul Rogers and James Booth.
The production was filmed in Technirama. It was one of two films about Wilde released in 1960, the other being Oscar Wilde. According to production designer Ken Adam, producer Irving Allen set up four editing rooms for the production, working in parallel during principal photography; the setup permitted the film on the screen in the West End seven weeks after they had started filming.[3]
In his review of the film, Bosley Crowther wrote: "Mr. Wilde himself could not have expected his rare personality or his unfortunate encounters with British justice on a morals charge to have been more sympathetically or affectingly dramatized. In comparison to that other British picture about the same subject that opened [in New York City] last week, this one is more impressive in every respect, save one."[4] Crowther concludes the review saying "The only thing is you wonder if this is a fairly true account, if Mr. Wilde was as noble and heroic as he is made to appear. And if he was, what was he doing with those cheap and shady young men? It looks to us as if they are trying to whitewash a most unpleasant case, which is one of the more notorious and less ennobling in literary history."[4]
Variety magazine, commenting on the performances, said "Peter Finch gives a moving and subtle performance as the ill-starred playwright. Before his downfall he gives the man the charm that he undoubtedly had....John Fraser as handsome young Lord Alfred Douglas is suitably vain, selfish, vindictive and petulant and the relationship between the two is more understandable. Where Trials suffers in comparison with the B&W film is in the remarkable impact of the libel case court sequence. James Mason never provides the strength and bitter logic necessary for the dramatic cut-and-thrust when Wilde is in the witness box."[5]
The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best English-Language Foreign Film. Peter Finch won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role and the film also received four other BAFTA nominations including Best British Film, Best Film from any source and for John Fraser as Best British Actor. Peter Finch (tied with Bambang Hermanto) also received the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival.[6]
The film was the inspiration for a promotional film made for the Rolling Stones song "We Love You"; the 1967 film, directed by Peter Whitehead, featured Mick Jagger as Wilde, Keith Richards as the Marquis, and Marianne Faithfull as Bosie.[7]

WYR have to recite Shakespeare whenever you meet someone or involuntarily break into a complete Beyonce style booty dance whenever you are in a supermarket?
Shakespeare all the way!
Would you rather be skinny and poor or fat and rich?
(haha, i totally stole that question from a show.)
I'm already poor, so skinny and poor would work for me. :)
Would you rather have an small, intimate gathering of a few close friends, or a large-scale party with dancing, drinks, the whole nine yards?
Ohhh toughie! I think I'll choose quantity over quality this time and go all out for a frickin' awesome party to remember (most likely to not be remembered from all the alcohol consumed xD )
WYR always speak to anybody in a slightly inappropriate state e.g. staring obviously at a particular region of their anatomy and licking your lips or never make eye contact with anyone and do your best to end conversations as quickly as possible?

The Heather Mitts Knitting Pattern
What materials did you use? Lightweight {fingering} angora and wool blend yarn or similar {alpaca and wool, mohair and wool etc.} US size 5 and 7 straight needles 200 size 6 seed beads
What are you most proud of? That I figured out a way to have the beads sit in a sort of channel. It may not be the conventional way to do it, but it works!
No need to string beads first if you use the crochet hook method while knitting.
Hi - to get instructions click on the green "for sale" button which will take you to my Etsy shop where you can buy the pattern. If you've never bought anything on Etsy, it's easy - go to:https://www.etsy.com/join?from_page=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fbuy%3Fref%3Dso_buy&ref=so_reg {register button next to sign in on Esty's home page}. I only take Paypal so if you need an account go to: www.papal.com and register. I know it sounds like a lot to do, but then you're ready to shop from now on! Cheers, Sue
The crochet hook method of adding beads is one I haven't tried yet - thanks for suggesting it!
Oooops! I just realized that the Heather Mitts pattern was unavailable for a little while - kinda hard to find something that's not there! It is back in the shop now - sorry 'bout that.

Prerequisites | Important Information | Format Options | Course Registration Grading | Proposal FormsIn addition to field-based projects and other leadership experiences incorporated throughout the program of study, CAS students also complete a capstone internship. Positioned near the end of the student's formal academic preparation, the internship provides an opportunity for immersion in the authentic work worlds of educational leaders. Under the guidance of a university instructor and a field-based supervisor-mentor, students will apply and extend the knowledge and skills developed throughout their course of study.
Prerequisites for the internship include:
- matriculation in the CAS program;
- at least 24 credit hours with grades of B or better, including EDUC 673 (Leadership in Educational Settings) and 3 additional required courses. (In the rare case when transfer credits are accepted upon admission, at least 20 of this 24- credit prerequisite must have been earned at Binghamton University);
- a completed Internship Proposal, including signature indicating approval of field-based supervisor-mentor (a certified
administrator). Proposed internships will only be approved if they:
- include leadership experiences at both the school building and district levels; (Job description must be attached to the Proposal.)
- are grounded in the student's Personal Plan for Self-Improvement; (New Personal Plan must be attached to the Proposal.) and
- expand the student's leadership experiences, knowledge, and skills (per NYS standards and competencies).
are located within a one-hour drive from university campus.
Important Additional Information
Students are responsible for finding or creating their own internships. Occasionally, intern opportunities are advertised publicly. However most are developed through students' professional networks and individualized negotiations with administrators interested in helping particular candidates advance. Students are encouraged to cultivate contacts and contribute to school leadership and district committee work throughout their programs of study. Such contributions can increase the chances that key advocates will recognize your leadership potential and support your internship proposal.
Format Options
Full-time immersion is preferable to part-time or summer internships, for marketability as a future applicant for educational leadership positions. All internships should be structured to provide leadership responsibilities of increasing breadth and depth over time. Overall, the quality of interns' capstone experience, and its direct connection to NYS competencies for building and district leaders, will be key determinants of any format options approved.
Eligible candidates have four options for internship format:
- Full-time for one semester of the academic year (minimum 15 weeks). Full-time means the intern works a minimum 6-hour block of time during the regular student school day, plus additional time along with the field-supervisor beyond regular school hours, as appropriate.
- Half-time for full academic year. Half-time means the intern works a minimum 3-hour block of time during the regular student school day, plus additional time along with the field-supervisor beyond regular schools hours, as appropriate.
- Half-time for one semester of the academic year plus full-time summer (minimum 6 weeks during the summer.) Full- and half-time are defined as in #1 and #2 above.
- Individually negotiated. This format option is tailored to the needs of the prospective intern and the opportunities available in a particular school district.
Internship Course Registration
Upon approval of the Internship Proposal by the Program Coordinator, students will be permitted to register for and attend a required seminar (EDUC 692) in conjunction with their internships in the field. Part-time interns will register for the seminar in two consecutive semesters at 2-credits each; full-timers once at 4-credit hours.
Personal Plans and Internship Grading
A final product for the internship seminar is a new Personal Plan. This requirement is a third occasion to reflect, assess leadership competencies, and plan for the future. Field supervisor-mentors will complete end-of-internship assessments of students. Additional course expectations and requirements are dependent on the particular instructor responsible for EDUC 692 in any given semester. Satisfactory-Unsatisfactory grades for EDUC 692 will be issued after the entire internship is completed and the third Personal Plan is judged acceptable by the seminar instructor.

How the hell did this loser manage to swing that? Phil Costa makes Eugene Amano look good, kinda stund the worst player at his position could get a girl like Brooke Hogan. But then again, she does have those manly quaities Tennessy XO looks for in a girl. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...-costa-gets-engaged-hulk-hogan-140547990.html
Brooke Hogan lives here in the Gulch, right? I was there and someone said that. I only asked "how do you even know that?" She's average. And a nobody.
If Hulk Hogan shaved and put on a hat... he and Brooke would look exactly alike. Minus his penis - and THAT's debatable. No thank you. Maybe he was a huge NWO fan back in the day and had it bad for Hulk... and this is the only way he can fulfill his boyhood lust without being TOO gay.

Oh dear, I'm showing my age! Bwahaha! Well, as stated in the journaling, I live qualitatively, not quantitatively! The photo on the left is a bit blurry, but I still liked it so I tried to blend and grunge to make it fit. Thanks for the challenge!
I absolutely love the grunge look of your layouts! Great job. Judging by the photos on the right page, I'm sure the journaling is interesting, too. That's a yummy-looking cake, by the way.
Fantastic page Julie! Love the colors and how you used the large photo.
Wonderful to pager. Great job. Love the fun colors.
I really like it Julie! Love the grungy yet bright look to it all! Very cool! -- And good for you for scrapping your moment!
This is so bright and fun! Loved how you altered the title to use the arrow and the texture. The grunge look worked out great, fab fun photo by the way - that dessert looks YUM!! And you are right, age is just a number - I just celebrated the 19th anniversary of my 21st and feel great about it :-). Go girl!
Love the colors in this LO. Great job making the blurry photo work too. Nicely done!
Sometimes the best photos aren't technically perfect. I have some really blurry photos that just capture a person or moment. Such bright & cheery colors you used and I really like all the brushwork. Happy 38th, you baby, you!
Hey, it's a great age! (me too, lol)
This is so bright and cheerful and I love it! You always rock the 2-pagers Julie!

Campaign themes
Virk's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Education
- Excerpt: "Although we invest heavily in our education system, American kids are ranked far below other nations when it comes to math, reading and basic science."
- Environment
- Excerpt: "We all realize what a treasure we have with our natural resources. That's why we live here and our respect and love for the outdoors is what makes us so special."
- Healthcare
- Excerpt: "There's been an enormous amount of confusion about the new Healthcare reform bill. In all honesty, the Democrats haven't done a particularly good job of explaining it and, as far as opponents are concerned, it seems they've passed up no opportunity to try to scare the wits out of American voters by using distortions, exaggerations and outright disinformation."
- Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt: "Small businesses constitute 85% of workforce of US. Promoting policies which help small, main street businesses, especially new businesses, are essential and helping true engines of job growth."
Virk ran in the 2012 election for Washington House of Representatives, District 11b. Virk was defeated by Steve Bergquist and Sarah Sanoy-Wright in the August 7 blanket primary election. They face each other in the general election, which took place on November 6, 2012.[2][3]

My favorite interiors are always high contrast. Very dramatic,classy. But, when doing homes for others, I find most people prefer a softer,analogous look. I find that bland and boring. When I sold flooring, I NEVER sold a dark wood floor - everyone wanted a medium wood or even the lighter...which to me was always a drag. Each to their own, I guess!

I know... I know jin he's different this time.
He's not going to tell me that he things as me as a wee sister or say I don't say I love to easily or say lizzie I'm just going to be friends with you and nothing else.
But maybe it might.
He could be like that.
Why oh why do I fall for such great guys but I'm not good enof for them.
Why can I not find someone to love me for me?

Cold War Files: All Units: People: Kim Il Sung
Born into a peasant family on April 15, 1912, in Mangyondae, Korea, Kim Il Sung was still a child when his parents left Japan-occupied Korea for Manchuria. There Kim attended Chinese schools. In 1932, he became the leader of a small group of Korean partisans, which he led in various raids against Japanese outposts in Korea. In 1941, Kim fled Manchuria for the Soviet Far East. He received military training in the Soviet Union, and in 1945 returned to his homeland as a major in the Soviet army. The Soviets put him in charge of the formation of a provisional system of government in Soviet-occupied Korea. In 1948, he became the first premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Strongly favoring national unification by military means, Kim's regime waged a guerrilla war against the South, and with strong Soviet support built up a large military. In 1950 Kim managed to get Stalin's permission for a massive invasion of the South, which he launched on June 25. But it was only thanks to a massive Chinese intervention that Kim's regime survived the U.S.-led counteroffensive in fall 1950. In 1953, Kim and his Soviet and Chinese guardians chose to settle for half the country, but Kim never accepted the division of his country, and until the end of his life continued efforts to overthrow the South Korean republic and kill its rulers. After 1953, Kim created an austere, militarized and highly regimented North Korean society that worshipped him as a deified leader. While officially extolling self-reliance, North Korea in reality relied heavily on Soviet and Chinese economic and military support. Kim's North Korea pursued many independent initiatives toward developing nations, often with the objective to undermine positions of the West. Since the 1970s, North Korea has been a major arms supplier to countries such as Libya, Iran and Syria. In 1993, Kim's defense policy became a great concern for Washington when intelligence analysts estimated that North Korea was less than two years away from being able to strike South Korea and Japan with nuclear missiles. The ensuing crisis was eased in June 1994, when former U.S. President Jimmy Carter persuaded Kim to freeze his program in return for an easing of international sanctions and talks with the United States about ending North Korea's international isolation. Kim died on the eve of these talks at age 82, on July 8, 1994, in Pyongyang, North Korea.
