Remember when you would save that special box under the Christmas tree to open last, convinced that it contained Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots or Mouse Trap, only to find it held a bathrobe?
That's how the Watcher feels about the Final Three episode of "American Idol." Every year I anticipate an MMA-worthy fight for survival, and every year I get a thumb-wrestling match filled with tepid performances and regrettable song choices.
You'd think I'd learn. But if the Watcher were a smart guy, I'd have a different career – or at least I'd be blogging about something important, like the Kardashians.
But I'm not. So I'm expecting a great Final Three battle tonight. Three fine singers and a wide-open contest should add up to a spectacular show. May the best too-young-to-drink kid win.
Who sang best Wednesday? Vote in our poll
Our opening fills the Watcher with hope.
It's a clip show highlighting the Final Three's trips to their respective hometowns: Possum Belch, N.C.; Moonshine Jug, Ga.; and some backwoods hamlet called Chicago.
We watch them disembark from planes, greet thousands of cheering yokels and ride in short buses painted to look like limousines. If we're lucky, this will be all we see of the hometown visits.
But when are we ever that lucky?
The Disembodied Announcer welcomes the non-judges to the stage. Jennifer Abdul and Steven Abdul are appropriately dressed in sparkly attire. Randy Abdul looks like a truant from prep school.
The camera pans the audience and finds a guy in a dog suit. I can't figure out which Fox show he is supposed to be promoting.
Some little girl is holding up a hand-painted sign that says "Thank u Giant Industrial Company." How low can product placement go?

When design duo Mark Badgley and James Mischka, both fond of using fur, presented their new furry clothing line at the "Badgley Mischka Exclusive Premier" at Bergdorf Goodman department store, they got some fur-ocious feedback from unexpected attendees.
Just as cocktails were being served, PETA members reminded the designers and their customers that "there is no excuse for fur" by throwing "bloodied" mink stoles, with heads and legs still attached, at the feet of both Badgley and Mischka. Minutes later, after those protesters were escorted out of the store and cocktails had resumed, another PETA posse walked up beside the designers and surprised them with giant, graphic posters of skinned foxes alongside the caption, "Fur: No Skin Off YOUR Back."

What's the Secret to Effective Classroom Management?
Social rule structures eventually rest on one of two things: trust or fear. When the rules are based on trust, students feel freer to participate; problem-based learning can thrive, versus learning focused on getting the one right answer; students can challenge prevailing wisdom, ask questions, and disagree safely with one another. Students can co-create classroom management rules because they want to be there and they want the classroom to be engaging and work well.
When fear predominates, classrooms can look orderly on the surface, but it is the order of prison. "Underground," perhaps, there is rebellion. Sometimes there is also overt misbehavior, to express frustration or even get oneself put out of the noxious environment.
Classrooms managed based on fear create disaffection and disengagement from the learning tasks, which are often "blamed" on students as the reason so much rigid order is needed. So learning suffers, genuine learning, even if there is a lot of rote seatwork being done.
Learning is work of the head and work of the heart. A climate of fear thwarts all of the goals of higher learning. Plus, as David Brooks so insightfully points out, children often learn first for the teacher, to please the teacher and to obtain the teacher's pleasure in their learning, more than they learn for the intrinsic value they attach to the subject matter or tasks. This is especially true when students are introduced to new content and concepts.
Those concerned about classroom management must simultaneously be concerned about student learning. Both thrive only when there are trusting, respectful, caring relationships between students and teachers. When the latter are in place, rules will be effective and the majority of students will be engaged learners.
Please share your ideas and practices for building positive relationships with students as a scaffold for classroom rules and productive learning environments.

I agree with Dr. Sheldrick that when children begin to take responsibility for their own learning, and when teachers allow their kids to have more control - then you have authentic and effective classroom leadership/management. I want to add that it is not enough to simply remove external control. I use the Gradual Release Model in all areas of my teaching, whether it is learning how to write, read, multiply or solve problems with peers. Classroom meetings, emergency friend meetings and explicit instruction on emotional and social intelligence skills help me help the kids be their own best teachers. I highly recommend Ruth Charney's book, Teaching Children to Care for more information on teaching self-control.
Sorry to have offended you Mick, I guess your school district pays more than mine does. I won't darken your door again.
Our goals as educators are to try our best to do our part in assisting children to become healthy learners. This includes the physical, mental, emotional and psychological health of children.Helping our students with all these qualities is helping to build a foundation of their trust in you.
When adults have a sense of trust with other adults they feel at peace and are eager to interact with the other adult. The similar need for trust is felt by children. When children are in our care we want to treat them as our own children. We surely want our children to feel a sense of trust with us and other members our family. When educators are in the classroom we want our children to feel a similar sense of trust in us. Most students want to have peace and sense of accomplishment in their classroom. However, most of them might not know how to do it. If we as teachers become role models and teach children how to have a successful and effective classroom, our students will use those skills and knowledge to their advantage. To be able to teach those skills to our students they need to build a sense of trust with their teacher. They also need to feel a sense of pride and belonging. When students shared in the responsibility of create an engaging classroom they want to follow the same rules and responsibilities that they had in creating it.
Trust is a peaceful and happy thought. Both adults and children want to be happy. Trust will be very positive towards building students cooperation and accomplishment .Children will cooperate to follow what they strongly believe to be a recipe for a successful classroom.
We want to build qualities of responsibility and pride in our students. We don't want them to do something because of fear. Fear is not a good reason for someone to do what is excellence and what is right. Children want to do what is right because they strongly believe that is a good reason to do it, not fear. Whatever we do positively for children we are helping and contributing to their future. Building a future based on trust is better than building one based on fear. As a classroom teacher I will always choose the best choice that is good for my students and that choice is always building a teacher relationship based on trust.
[quote]Sorry to have offended you Mick, I guess your school district pays more than mine does. I won't darken your door again.
Wayne[/quote] It's not so much about offending and more about not using a public help forum to do business. Not my door, the public's door.
David, I use some of the same strategies that you use, though I hesitate simply saying to students to "ask another student". My strategy is "ask 3 before me," and then if and when they come back to me I insist they tell me what they learned from their classmates. More Socratic method when a student asks me a question, requiring depth of understanding of the subject, but a question that leads a student in an exploratory direction.
Frankly, all the talk about effective teachers, wonderful; but I feel effective curricula is the key to keeping students engaged. Some politicos think that it's is all up to the teacher. Sure there are teachers that can weave straw from gold, but they are damn few and far between. A little more gold would make things work a lot more smoothly both in terms of pay and resources.
This article has many good points. Yes, children need to have a strong, positive, relationship with their teachers, as well as the teachers with the students. Trust is very important in that relationship, but the student shouldn't be fearing the teacher. There should be lots of respect. In a classroom, teachers should trust their students to have discussions, ask questions, and disagree or agree with each other. It should never be just worksheets all the time and like the article says to see which answer is correct. Now in regards to classroom management, of course the teachers should also be concerned with the students learning, but if the classroom is not managed, no student will be able to learn. I don't think this article is including all types of teachers, because I think it's a lot different for ESE and in regards to the classroom management, especially EBD!!! If there is no classroom management or behavior management in an EBD classroom then there is a problem and I can assure you that the students won't learn a thing. It's hard enough for them to learn while there is management, imagine withought.
This perspective has more basic value if you change the word trust of students to respect. Respect that a teacher has for their students is the scientific base of their successful teaching.
EditArticle Post
Personally, the suggestions given in this article are positive to implement for classroom management. Though I do agree that allowing the students to co-create the class rules are a great step towards trust with the students, the teacher must not allow total surrender of the class dynamics. Different approaches can be taken into consideration when applying this suggestion in one's class. Keep in mind the grade level and the diversity of the students in the class (elementary, middle or high school). Asking the students what they look for in classroom behavior; respect, honesty, consequences, etc. Teachers can develop classroom rules based on the students wants; a contingence between the teacher and students. This will create a sense of charge, ownership, and responsibility that the students will uphold in the class environment.
As I conclude my internship in an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) classroom, I believe that the secret to an effective classroom management is positive reinforcement and/or positive rewards. "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." I believe and have seen that students do want to accomplish their task at hand to always make the teacher happy. If a student is not completing their task, instead of calling on them every 5 seconds and using your "angry voice", compliment the ones that are around them that are completing their task. The student will want to finish their task to please their teacher.
Also, I believe that positive rewards are a great way to control the classroom. We use this a lot in the classroom with this population: "First ________________ and then ________________." Students seem to respond to this very effectively, and it doesn't always have to be candy or a sticker, it can be something from the classroom they may way to take home like a book or a stuffed animal, or some time on the computer for an educational game. GET CREATIVE!
Classroom management has been a real challenge for me. I am completing my internship in a self-contained, middle school class with students suffering from Emotional/Behavior Disability.
I agree that a successful classroom needs children to have a strong relationship with their teacher. That is a goal that teachers must work on from day ONE. Creating a comfortable environment will make learning fun and allow the students to become risk-takers. Respect is also very important! The teacher must have control of the classroom while still allowing the students' voices and opinions to be heard. It's a great idea to involve the students when creating classroom rules. Making sure the students are a part of the decision-making processes will make them feel comfortable and will give a sense of belonging. It is important to show the students that their opinion truly counts! But successful classroom management needs more... It requires numerous strategies, reward systems, consequences for misbehavior, and even family involvement. Since each student is different, classroom management also requires a trial-and-error process - seeing which strategy or system works with each student. In the end, the teacher is the one who must take responsibility for and ensure that learning is taking place!

Seven Hills Winery Riesling 2011
Riesling from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
Light straw yellow in color, the nose opens with fresh Fuji apple, guanabana, lime, grapefruit, with a hint of vanillin and cardamom. The palate is lightly citrus-sweet up front, moving through smooth lychee to a crisp, grapefruit mineral finish. The wine will develop more roundness and richness as the acid integrates.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Consistent from year to year, this fruity and generous Riesling mixes lime, apples and a dash of pineapple, complementing the ripe fruit with sappy acidity. Round, forward and persistent, it's a great, all-purpose food wine if you are enjoying Thai, Indian or spicy Asian fare."
Seven Hills Winery
The McClellan family has farmed in Eastern Washington since 1880. One hundred years later, in 1980, Casey McClellan and his father Jim began planting the now famous Seven Hills Vineyard at the south end of the Walla Walla Valley. After then earning his Master's degree in Enology from UC Davis, Casey returned to Walla Walla with his wife Vicky to found Seven Hills Winery, the fifth winery in the Walla Walla Valley, in 1988. Casey remains Seven Hills' sole winemaker to this day.
Seven Hills Vineyard is now regarded as one of the "ten most important vineyards in the world" by Wine & Spirits Magazine. In addition to Seven Hills Vineyard, Casey crafts wines from several of the best, old vine vineyards in Walla Walla and on Red Mountain, including Ciel du Cheval, Klipsun, and McClellan Estate.
Casey' focus has always been on Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varietal reds, complimented by limited production of Alsatian varietal white wines. His vision is to produce wines that reflect the terroir of these sites with intense structure and pure varietal fruit character capable of graceful ageing. View all Seven Hills Winery Wines
About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

The NCAA announced Thursday that Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey, offensive lineman Mike Adams and defensive lineman Solomon Thomas have been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for selling Ohio State memorabilia. Immediately after the announcement, comparisons echoed throughout the Internet comparing the Ohio State situation to the one that embroiled Auburn quarterback Cam Newton late in the 2010 regular season. While the Newton situation may be similar in the fact that they involved the eligibility of a star quarterback, that's where the comparisons stop. In reality, the two situations are much different.
"If Terrelle Pryor had a family member sell his ring, he wouldn't have been suspended at all."
Quotes like the one above bounced around Twitter like Plinko chips on the Price Is Right for about five hours Thursday afternoon. While that may be the cheap and easy pop, it's overlooking one key fact.
In the Ohio State case, the NCAA ruled that extra benefits actually changed hands. In Cam Newton's case, the NCAA (you know, the group that knows more about the situation than pretty much everybody else) ruled that there was not evidence that extra benefits changed hands. Overlooking this obvious, documented fact is extremely irresponsible.
The more appropriate comparison would be to Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green, who was suspended four games to start the 2010 season for selling his 2009 Independence Bowl jersey to an agent. Green's jersey was valued at $1,000. The values of the items in the Ohio State case range from $1,000-$2,500. So when factoring in the value of the merchandise in the Ohio State case, the suspensions of Pryor, Herron, Posey, Adams and Thomas shouldn't be surprising.
Of course, Georgia was forced to suspend Green immediately, while the Ohio State players are allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl. Trying to justify that one takes a lot of work, but that's a different argument for a different day.
If you want to be mad about the Ohio State players being allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl, fine. Lord knows you have plenty of ammunition with that one. If you want to be mad about the fact that the players are in trouble for selling their own memorabilia, fine. After all, they own it. If you want to be mad that college football players aren't paid, fine. An argument can certainly be made for compensation. But comparing the Ohio State situation to Cam Newton's case is comparing apples to oranges. In one case, benefits changed hands. In the other, benefits didn't. Simple, concise and relevant facts like this can't be overlooked.

S. Korea inflation slows to 1.6 percent
SEOUL – South Korea's inflation rate slowed to a three-month low in November, government data showed Monday, allowing more room for the central bank to cut rates to bolster growth.
The consumer price index rose 1.6 percent from a year earlier, slowed by falling prices of telecommunication services and key items including medicines and televisions, according to Statistics Korea.
The November figure compared with a 2.1 percent gain the month before and is the lowest since a 1.2 percent increase in August.
It was well below the Bank of Korea's inflation target of 2.0 to 4.0 percent.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, was 1.3 percent in November, down from 1.5 percent in October.
Central bank policymakers are widely expected to leave the key interest rate unchanged at 2.75 percent in a meeting next week, after already trimming it twice so far this year.
Asia's fourth-largest economy expanded at the slowest pace in three years in the third quarter, prompting expectations of a further rate cut early next year.

By Vann Dunn: There comes a period in every professional athletes life where it is time to look in the mirror and face the truth
the time when it is necessary to walk away from the sport where they have achieved remarkable success and fame. More often than not, that time comes when the athlete skills have eroded and deprived them of performing at a championship, or much less a competitive level.
Skills that enabled the athlete to dish out unmerciful punishment and humiliation, have all of a sudden forsaken them and left them on the receiving end of such torment. Muhammad Ali serves as one of the saddest examples in all of professional sports of an athlete that stayed in the game far beyond his prime. Ali was not only arguably the greatest Heavy weight boxer ever, he was without doubt the most colorful. The Rumble in the Jungle, the Thrilla in Manila were all courtesy of the man who could, float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. But one too many blows to the head left Ali with Parkinsons disease and a shadow of his former self. Roy Jones Jr, and Evander Holyfield, should spare their most devoted fans of this inner torture of seeing them suffer eminent danger and they should retire immediately. Floyd Mayweather Jr. for a much different reason needs to make it official and retire as well.
Roy Jones Jr. witnessed fellow boxer Gerald Mcclellan suffer permanent brain damage, hearing and vision loss, severely impaired motor skills, and any ability to care for himself after suffering a blood clot to the brain from getting pounded to the head in a Super Middleweight title fight against hard hitting champion Nigel Benn. After that fight, Jones went on record as saying, I care about my well-being after boxing. This game is dangerous. It doesn't take an accumulation of punches to mess you up. Gerald didn't have any hard fights before Benn. And look what happened.' Jones also said, This game is not a good game for anyone--me or anyone else. Look at the history of the guys who were great. Look at their condition 10 years after they're done. This game doesn't usually deal you a good hand, not in the long run. Why then is Jones still fighting after getting unconsciously knocked out again in his last fight against Denis Lebedev? That makes two devastating knockouts in his last three fights, and a total of four where we have seen him get the stuffing knocked out of him. Roy has been one of the greatest fighters ever, but he has became everybodys favorite bag, and its time for him to throw in his cards because he has a losing hand. Jones needs to step away from the table before he suffers irreversible harm.
Evander Holyfield is 48 yrs old and it is his desire to become the undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world. In 2007 he failed in his attempt to capture the WBO title by losing to Sultan Ibragimov. In 2008 he failed to capture the WBA title by losing to Nikolay Valuev. Current Heavyweight title holders include WBA champ David Haye, WBC champ Vitaly Klitschko, and WBO champ Vladamir Klitschko. The problem for Evander is that his warrior heart is much bigger than what his body is capable of doing now, and I see him getting seriously hurt in a match with any of the current three title holders. Evander has been in, and won some epic battles in the ring, but he needs to realize and accept that the cards are now stacked against him. There are no more aces in the deck for Evander, and it is time for him to lay his cards down, and leave the table.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is still in excellent shape, his motor skills are still in tact, and in 14 years of professional boxing he has yet to take on any unnecessary punishment in the ring. Floyd stated that there is nothing cool about being hit, and his focal point of making defense as much a part of his boxing skills as offense, has left him as one of the few boxers in the sport to be able to walk away from the game in no less condition than he was than when he first started. Mayweathers detractors may scoff at his style, but who could argue with the results? Wasnt it Willie Pep, who is regarded as one on the greatest fighters ever, emphatically state, He who hits and runs today, lives to fight another day? When Mayweather fights, he is simply the best, but he is not fighting much at all anymore today. His last fight was over a year ago, and he was rightly dropped recently from the pound per pound ratings for his lack of activity. A fight against Manny Pacquioa has been toyed with for over a year, but at this point, I do not think that it would be a good idea for Floyd to fight Manny. Ring rust and timing are Floyds biggest enemies now, and if he got slightly tested last year by an aging Shane Mosley, he would surely be tested and be in much more danger against a faster, and more powerful Manny Pacquiao.
At this point, Floyd has a royal flush in his hands, and he would be wise to quit the game while he is ahead. He can leave with his perfect 41-0 record, and sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of his labor. Roy, Evander and Floyd
the game is over, you are all Hall of Famers
..you can all shake each others hand, leave the table with pride, and call it a day.

Although the D.O. is quite young, vines have been grown in the zone for some time. About one eighth of the vineyard land's production has been bottled at one of Spain's best and most progressive cooperatives, San Alejandro. With an abundance of amazing raw material, Eric Solomon was able to commission several bottlings of very old vine fruit into what has become one of the most sought-after estates in the portfolio. Calatayud benefits from a continental climate with vast temperature differences between night and day. Harvests are much later than in other parts of Aragon, and the acidity/maturity/alcohol ratios tend to be more balanced.
As most of the vineyards lie on what was (thousands of years ago) an old river basin, the soil is comprised of brown limestone and loam over slate and gypsum. This particular soil is also ideal for production of olives, cherries, and other fruits. Jean-Marc Lafage (of Domaine Lafage in France's Roussillon) is responsible for the Las Rocas cuvees.

Air Quality in West Going South
RICHLAND, Wash. – By mid-century, air quality throughout the Western United States will deteriorate, according to a new EPA-funded computer simulation by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
The model is among the first to project effects of future climate change on U.S. regional air quality, and they will be most dramatic in the West, this time of year. Come fall 2050, the model shows, a temperature increase of up to 4 degrees centigrade will contribute to a doubling of stagnant, bad-air days""from one week to two""west of the Rockies to the coastal mountains, said Ruby Leung, a fellow at the Department of Energy laboratory who led the study.
Bad air days are marked by "stagnation events," which occur when dry, windless air heats and fills with dust, ozone and other [WG1] pollutants harmful to lungs and eyes. The model covers the period from 2045 to 2055, factoring in meteorological elements relevant to air quality""temperature, solar radiation and cloud cover, and two that control the rate at which polluted air is diluted or flushed from a locale, ventilation and stagnation. A known period, 1995-2005, was used for comparison.
The stagnation forecast in the West is limited to the fall, with no additional drop in air quality forecast for the summer, a finding similar to most other regions of the country. Summer, however, is the poor-air-quality season in Texas, and Texas will continue to warm by 2 to 3 degrees centigrade and to stagnate, by nearly four additional days at mid-century. Still, Leung reported, "it's not a large change compared to the average 15 days per season in the control simulation."
The Midwest stands out in glaring contrast. The model predicts increased cloud cover, which will in turn deflect the sun's rays back toward space, offsetting warming in the air near the surface for unchanged or even cooler temperatures than today. There will be less stagnation, up to 8 fewer days a season, and more frequent rainfall, as many as six extra days each season.
"Depending on the relative impacts of these parameters," Leung said, "ozone concentrations may remain similar or slightly decrease based on the simulated atmospheric changes alone." For more detailed projections of future air quality, Leung emphasized that "more studies need to be performed by including projections of natural and anthropogenic (human-produced) emissions and the complex chemical reactions that occur in the atmosphere."
PNNL staff scientist William Gustafson collaborated on the study, whose results were derived from the PNNL team's regional climate model, driven by Harvard University global climate simulations using a NASA model.

Fiscal Cliff Deal Expected to Increase Charitable Giving
The individual income tax provisions adopted by Congress to avoid the fiscal cliff will boost charitable giving by an estimated $3.3 billion, or 1.3 percent, in 2013, an analysis by the Urban Institute finds.
According to the brief, What Does the Fiscal Cliff Deal Mean for Nonprofits? (5 pages, PDF), the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 will result in increased charitable giving primarily because it raises the top marginal tax rate from 35 percent to 39.6 percent for taxable income above $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples. Taxpayers who itemize deductions can continue to deduct charitable contributions at their full marginal income tax rate, which means donors in the top tax bracket will see their after-tax cost of giving fall from 65 cents on the dollar to 60.4 cents, or by 7 percent. The brief suggests that all $3.3 billion of the estimated increase in charitable giving will come from a 2.5 percent increase in giving by taxpayers in the top income quintile.
Other provisions that may affect charitable giving include an increase in the capital gains tax rate from 15 percent to 20 percent for taxpayers in the top income bracket — a change that increases the tax benefit of donating appreciated property such as corporate stocks, investments, and real estate to charity; and an increase in the top estate tax rate from 35 percent to 40 percent, which may result in a modest decline in the dollar amount of charitable bequests. The reinstatement of the overall limitation on itemized deductions, known as the Pease limitation, is expected to have a negligible effect on giving.

I have been using the Italian healthcare system for nearly 14 years and have no complaints whatsoever with the Italian brand of socialized medicine, which is rated second best in the world, next to France. In addition to wanting to feel secure in that I would still be guaranteed a roof over my head if I ever came down with a catastrophic illness or had a serious accident, I made a PERSONAL BUSINESS DECISION to opt for the Italian system and reap my own financial benefit -- just like doctors in the USA make personal business decisions when they decide to go to medical school so they can become a member of the top 1% club (the richest people in America).
Good healthcare is a basic human right. It should be available to everyone and not just to patients who can afford to make their American doctor even wealthier. Fortunately, Italy and the European Union DO realize that ALL citizens, and not just a chosen few, are their greatest asset. If you have any questions about the Italian healthcare system or can relate any positive experiences, please contribute to the discussion and post your comments.

Pinera says three-fourths of quake damage repaired
As Pinera spoke, thousands of student activists protested outside congress in the coastal city of Valparaiso calling for free education.
Pinera said his plan to spend up to $1 billion on thousands of new scholarships and lower student loan interest is a more just solution for addressing education problems.
"We know that some propose free education for all and not just the most vulnerable and the middle class," he said. "Frankly, in a country with so many shortages and inequalities it is not fair or convenient for the state to use the resources of all Chileans to finance education of those who need it the most."

Colorado (1-1-1) at Vancouver (2-0-2), 6:30 p.m.
Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of Western Conference rivals will
tangle on Saturday when Vancouver Whitecaps FC hosts the Colorado Rapids at BC
Vancouver has gotten off to a fine start this season with two wins and two
draws through four games to sit in third place in the Western Conference with
eight points.
The Whitecaps are coming off a solid performance on home soil last week,
earning a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo and dealing the Dynamo their
first loss of the season.
The hosts opened the scoring in the 14th minute when Pedro Morales whipped a
dangerous curling ball into O?Brien at the far post. The 6-foot-3 center back
then headed the ball back down to Harvey, who poked it past Dynamo goalkeeper
Tally Hall to give the 'Caps a 1-0.
Vancouver then made it a two-goal margin in the 58th minute as Russell Teibert
played a ball down the left to Darren Mattocks, who beat two defenders before
the ball clipped the arm of sprawling Houston defender Kofi Sarkodie,
resulting in a penalty kick.
'Caps captain Kenny Miller then stepped up and dispatched the penalty with
ease for the 2-0 advantage.
Houston pulled one back with 15 minutes to play through veteran Ricardo Clark,
who headed home a Brad Davis free kick, finding the bottom right corner past
goalkeeper David Ousted.
Dating back to last season, Whitecaps FC are undefeated in their last five
league matches, one game shy of the club?s MLS record, set last June 15-July
"We showed some determination. We defended as well. We couldn't ask for much
more. The two road performances weren't great but we got back to BC Place and
got another three points. Eight points out of 12 is not a bad start," said
Colorado, meanwhile, is coming off its first loss of the season, a 3-2 setback
against defending champions Sporting Kansas City at Dick's Sporting Goods
Sporting broke through in the 50th minute. A long pass down the right side
found Sal Zizzo, and he found Graham Zusi for a simple finish at the back
But seven minutes later, the Rapids got to the penalty spot again after Ike
Opara grabbed the ball in the box, and Vicente Sanchez converted from the
Then in the 78th minute, a tackle from Benny Feilhaber on right back Shane
O'Neill earned yet another penalty kick from referee Jose Carlos Rivero.
Sanchez once again finished from the spot, putting the Rapids in front.
But Feilhaber connected on an equalizing volley just 45 seconds later to
make it 2-2.
The game-winner came two minutes into stoppage time, when substitute Dom Dwyer
blasted home a close-range effort from a tight angle.
"I think we're not too far away. Obviously it's early in the season, but I
think the guys put up a fight," said Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni. "I
think the defensive performance was brilliant, they limited the chances of a
team that finds themselves creating more chances than their opponents and I
think today our team did a really good job battling hard."
In eight all-time meetings between the sides, Colorado holds a slight 4-3-1

The dust jacket of J.K. Rowling's ballyhooed new book, The Casual Vacancy, available today, bills it as "her first novel for adults." It's Rowling's first published work since she wrapped the mega-selling, seven-volume Harry Potter fantasy saga in 2007. And that puts her, and The Casual Vacancy, in a uniquely awkward position. The public knows Rowling as a fantasy-fiction Pied Piper; in an age ruled by videogames, her books got kids-even kids who otherwise don't read much-to thrill over every gripping chapter in a 4,100-page adventure saga about plucky young wizards vanquishing ...

Though I wonder on some level if she meant learning disabled, or developmentally delayed -- which would be offensive, I think -- to suggest avoiding a friendship with a person because of a disability. But either way -- I don't think that thumb sucking indicates a problem.

After talking with several financial planners it became apparent that many people refinanced their home mortgage and saved several hundred dollars but without a plan most people just let that savings slip away. Maybe this will get people thinking about the possibilities."

People who are looking for more financial opportunity are most likely doing so because their money is short. This is one of the many reasons that Forex is so inviting. With only a little bit of capital, you can open an account and begin trading. Find out what else goes into becoming a successful investor below.
To be successful in Forex trading, do not give up if you perform poorly in the beginning. It is impossible to become a trading expert overnight, so allow your skills to develop before you decide that trading is not the right occupation for you. Do not give up before you have made it through the learning process.
Trading forex can get complex if you are trying to deal with multiple currencies at once. As you are starting out, it is a good idea to start out by only dealing with one currency pair. This helps you keep track of your investments as you are starting out.
Don't let your emotions get the better of you when you are trading, or else you will find yourself looking at significant losses. You can't get revenge on the market or teach it a lesson. Keep a calm, rational perspective on the market, and you'll find that you end up doing better over the long term.
Set up the optimal schedule for you to trade, taking work and school into consideration. The Forex market is open every hour of the day and every day during the week, so you are able to make a schedule that is unique to your demands. This capability will help to maximize your time.
Choose an experienced broker to help you start out. Ask around, and plan to do research before you choose someone to help you. An inexperienced, or worse, unethical, broker will tear down all the gains you may have already made. Choose someone who knows how to work with your level of expertise.
Keep track of your trading profits after a set amount of time. Do not judge how you did based upon single trades or you won't gather any useful information. Instead, opt to do an analysis of your strategy after a set amount of time; this can be a day, week, month, etc. You need to judge your success based on longevity.
Do not take any money and invest it into a real forex account until you spend some times practicing. Take a few months to practice and learn all that you can before trying to jump right into it. This will increase your chances for having success with it.
A great Forex trading tip is to be patient and take things one step at a time. You won't become a trading genius overnight. Mastering how to minimize your losses while maximizing your profits takes time. As long as you are patient, you're likely to see gains.
Now, these tips aren't going to automatically turn you into the Forex equivalent of Warren Buffet, but you will begin to understand how you can use this information to leverage your position and to start profiting with the proper strategy. Take your time, implement these tips, and experience some real success.

There was no objection from any stakeholders to starting civil aviation operations from the Air Force base here, P.C. Jaffer, Deputy Commissioner, said here on Monday.
A team of senior officials from the Defence Ministry, Civil Aviation and GMR group visited the Air Force base in the afternoon.
They inspected the air strip and control facilities, the civilian terminal and other areas.
Officials held a meeting at the Deputy Commissioner's office later.
Those present included Rajkumar Khatri, Principal Secretary, Infrastructure; Uma Nanduri, Director, Defence Ministry, IAF officials, Vikram Singhania of GMR, K. Tyagarajan, Superintendent of Police, and Sunil Panwar, Deputy Conservator of Forests, according to a release.
Five years ago, the State government obtained the Defence Ministry's permission to use the Bidar Air Force base for civil aviation operations.
GMR's Objections
However, the Airports Authority of India did not clear the proposal, citing objections from the GMR group that operates the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, which has a flying distance of less than 150 km from Bidar.
The State government wrote to the GMR group to take over civil aviation operations at the Bidar base.
The GMR group had said that it would study the proposal.

Delaware collects more than $600 million a year in unclaimed property, and many companies are wholly unaware of their annual reporting obligations. However, those still facing Delaware unclaimed property exposure are in luck. The Delaware General Assembly passed Senate Bill 228 ("SB 228") June 26, 2014, and the governor is expected to sign the bill Monday, June 30.
SB 228 will extend the period that companies may enter into the Secretary of State's voluntary disclosure program from the current deadline of June 30, 2014, to September 30, 2014. For those already participating in the program, the bill provides an extra year to comply—from July 1, 2015 to July 1, 2016. So companies that have not yet tackled their Delaware unclaimed property exposure can consider jumping in. Those who do not, face the risk of multistate audits conducted by private audit firms that are paid a percentage of the amount they demand.
The popularity of the program means that the legislative changes not only benefit holders, but also provide the Delaware Secretary of State much-needed breathing room. Absent the extended compliance date in the bill, the Secretary of State would need to review and finalize the agreements for current participants at a rate of approximately one holder per day until the July 1, 2015 deadline in order to process all of the voluntary disclosure agreements that are in the queue.1
For full details on the benefits of the program, see our May 28, 2013 client alert. If you have questions concerning how the program works from start to finish, please contact one of the authors of this alert.
In addition to the changes to the voluntary disclosure program, SB 228 offers some other holder-friendly changes worth reporting. It revises the penalty for failing to file an unclaimed property report from 5 percent per month to the lesser of 5 percent per month or $100 per day. The maximum penalty of 50 percent of the amount required to be reported is now reduced to $5,000. The legislation also eliminates the assessment of interest on outstanding unpaid amounts. Additionally, SB 228 extends confidentiality to the amounts reported and received by the State Escheator and the Secretary of State, related to any annual filing, voluntary disclosure agreement, or settlement agreement, "including past agreements." Unauthorized disclosure of such information is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and imprisonment for up to six months.

"On the fly" adjustments?
Pardon the noob question, but can you make changes to the performance of your truck "on the fly" so to speak?
No as there are key cycles involved.
No, you need to reset the modules everyone you make a change. It's not like the diesels where you can just change the power levels with a rotary dial or a boost controller.
You can make some changes without having to reload the tune like disabling traction control, shift points, etc, but you still need to cycle the key.
That would be a cool feature....lol

Paying With the Wave of a Cellphone 137
from the gesticulate-wildly dept.
How many transactions will I be doing from my pocket on a crowded subway?
I don't know but with any luck you will be paying for my porn site subscription and enough credit to download the videos on my anonymous PAYG phone. I might have enough credit left to call uncle Osama too. I don't know which will be worse, explaining to your wife about the porn or to the police about the calls to suspicious people in Afghanistan.
are also "a benefit" to the customer, in terms of discounts. But again, your giving your data to the shop and anyone else they pass it to.
I don't use loyalty cards, I won't use this. If they want my data, let them break the law to get it, just like the government does.
But then you can't pretend to be a Jedi by waving your hand and saying "I have paid for my drink".
Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to work.
