Nowadays when you mention the book Profiles in Character to Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida and, as it happens, the coauthor of Profiles in Character, he immediately cracks wise.
"You mean you actually found a copy?" he says. "A major opus. A big bestseller. How much did you pay for it? A buck? Nothing? Or did they pay you to take it off their hands?"
Jokes aside, the book offers an interesting footnote in the evolution of Jeb Bush. He ran for governor in 1994 as a "head-banging" (the odd description is his) right-winger. Four years later he ran as a conservative who "wanted to open his heart to people." What happened in between, from head-banger to heart-opener, is reflected in Profiles in Character.
After losing his first gubernatorial campaign, Bush fell in with a financial firm and founded the ferociously fricative Foundation for Florida's Future, a think tank devoted to state politics and public policy. Lacking intellectual pretensions himself, Bush has always liked to surround himself with think tank types. He had earlier sat on the board of the Heritage Foundation. One of Heritage's signature initiatives in the mid-'90s was The Index of Leading Cultural Indicators, overseen and publicized by the conservative superstar William Bennett, who had worked as Ronald Reagan's education secretary and George H.W. Bush's drug czar.
Bennett's index was uniformly depressing: a series of upward slopes showing 30-year increases in crime, divorce, abortion, drug abuse, drop-out rates, teen pregnancy, and—to use a phrase that these days sounds as fusty as a Wesleyan hymn—out-of-wedlock births. The index seemed to capture something gloomy in the conservative temperament of the day, as it became clear that the economic renaissance of the Reagan years had not reversed the culture's steady march to libertinism, its "social regression," as Bennett called it. Bennett found his own answer to the crisis not in Reaganite tax cuts or business deregulation but in an issue that at first blush seems far beyond economics or government policy: the revival of character through the cultivation of virtue. His massive collection of moralizing fables and legends, The Book of Virtues, became one of the great publishing successes of the 1990s.
Virtue back then was much in demand, at least as a political topic, even when the word itself wasn't used. Entire school districts gave themselves over to elaborate "character education" curriculums, complete with block-letter banners and wall posters exhorting the children to practice honesty and compassion, giving elementary schools the feel of a Maoist reeducation camp run by Barney the dinosaur. Prodigious wonders were ascribed to character ed and its emphasis on virtue: President Clinton advocated it as a means to prevent shootouts among the young scholars in high school. Even the first lady, Hillary Clinton, briefly explored the relationship between personal virtue and public policy in a curious concoction she called the "politics of meaning."
"We were real interested in what Bennett was doing with his index," Bush says now, "and we [he and his coauthor, a young think tanker named Brian Yablonski] wanted to do something like that for Florida." Bush had come to believe that his '94 campaign's exclusive emphasis on policy was misbegotten—boring to voters and somehow off the point. Their compilation of data for their state was every bit as depressing as the numbers Bennett adduced for the country at large. Over the previous decades, while Florida's state population had doubled, juvenile crime had risen more than 350 percent; out-of-wedlock births, 300 percent; divorces by 322 percent; children on welfare, 333 percent; and so on. Not every trend line was going up, however: SAT scores in Florida had declined by 62 points in 25 years. And the government's growth had outpaced the growth of the population—an increase of 287 percent in the number of full-time government employees. "Our social structure buckles," Bush and Yablonski wrote.
When we look to our children, we see juvenile crime, drug abuse, teen suicide, and the poverty of an education. When we look to the adults, we see many of the same problems. . . . When we look to the government, we see increased spending with no correlation whatsoever to results, layered bureaucracies, less effective output, personal ambition, special interest and self-interest at the expense of the whole.

Scott Walker may not be a candidate for president yet, but the Wisconsin governor's growing political action committee staff is already going after a potential rival in the Republican primary. GOP strategist Liz Mair, CNN reports, has just signed on to consult for Walker's Our American Revival PAC, doing outreach to bloggers and other digital media outlets.
Scott Walker was never going to win fans among the faculty at the University of Wisconsin. Four years ago, Wisconsin professors were in the state capitol protesting the governor's plans to limit public employee collective bargaining powers. But, boy, did he make enemies this month when he proposed $300 million more in budget cuts to the state's university and altering the words of the school's mission. Walker has clearly made some tactical missteps in recent weeks—and the fact that he himself doesn't have a college degree doesn't add to his credibility.
Encouraged by Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin mocked former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her Ivy League degree in remarks posted to Kelly's Facebook page.
"You know," Kelly told Walker after he brough up Clinton, "she went to Yale."
Walker laughed. "All the more reason to put someone in who's a fighter, not just an Ivy Leaguer. Someone who's a fighter."
The Washington Post has a long article up about Scott Walker's formative years. It has some fine reporting, but the overall tone and headline are curious: "As Scott Walker mulls White House bid, questions linger over college exit."
The president is proposing more higher education (at the community college level) as a cure for our economic woes. Along with some substantial tax increases, of course. But is more college the answer?
Previewing an item from his upcoming State of the Union address, President Obama announced a "Free Community College" plan
The school house for American children is, increasingly, the same one where they eat and sleep and live with their parents. As Genevieve Wood of the Daily Signal reports:
At the conclusion of the latest installment of the endless Arab war against Israel, the leaders of Hamas simultaneously accused Israel of "genocide" against the residents of Gaza and took to the streets, dancing, ululating, and jubilating in celebration of their "victory" over the Zionist enemy. That is to say, what the novelist Thane Rosenbaum called Hamas's "civilian death strategy"—deliberately bringing about the greatest possible number of Arab (as well as Jewish) deaths—had achieved a political triumph in the court of world opinion.
A candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, after a debate with his opponent, said that:
Time magazine has a cover story out that's causing a fair amount of outrage, but for all the wrong reasons. The story is headlined, "Rotten Apples: It's nearly impossible to fire a bad teacher. Some tech millionaires may have found a way to change that." Since then, some 70,000 people signed an online petition calling for a public apology over Time's supposed smearing of teachers. Time has sensibly invited a series of responses to the piece on its website.
When the College Board released a revised framework for Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH), it ignited controversy.
Nina Rees writes about Campbell Brown taking on the education establishment:
As Michelle Maitre at EdSource reports, when people learn more about the Common Core educational standards, they like them less. The Common Core is the latest attempt to apply universal standards of instruction and performance across American schools. It has the support of big names like Bill Gates and big money like, well, Bill Gates.
Senior editor Andrew Ferguson joined Reason's Nick Gillespie to discuss his recent WEEKLY STANDARD article, "The Common Core Corruption." Ferguson explains how the education reform-industrial complex keeps getting it wrong. Watch the video below:

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know!,
This review is from: Corn Snakes (Paperback)
This book is excellent for beginning snake hobbyists. It covers corn snake care, breeding and housing. The book also included some excellent pictures of the different kinds of corn snakes. Along with providing helpful hints to keeping your snake healthy, the book provides information on the correct way to obtain your first snake! In my opinion, the best part about this book was the detailed way the authors take the reader step-by-step on constructing an incubator for snake hatching. Everything in the book is well organized to provide easy reference. At the end, a helpful glossary also allows easy reference. I would recommend this book to a snake hobbyist that is interested in keeping and breeding snakes to learn the correct ways to maintain a snake's health and overall happiness.

1995 Ford E-150 Problems
The front end may make a rattle noise over bumps. There may be handling issues, and play in the front wheels on inspection. If there is up and down movement on the front wheels while the lower control arms are being supported, inspect the upper and lower ball joints for excessive play. These are prone to failure from moisture entry and lack of lubrication. The ball joints should be replaced as needed.
Electrolysis can cause repeated failures of the heater core and radiator. The diagnosing technician should check for voltage present in the coolant, with the battery disconnected, because electrical current in the coolant causes electrolysis. Corroded or deteriorated parts should be replaced, and the coolant should be flushed. Ground straps can be added to help prevent future corrosion of components.
In some cases with higher mileages, the Check Engine Light may come on due to insufficient Exhaust Gas Recirculation system (EGR) flow. For EGR flow concerns, the EGR valve is usually recommended for replacement and the intake manifold is removed to clean the EGR passages in the engine, which have clogged with carbon over time.

Jack Kerouac in Brooklyn
Clip Job: an excerpt every day from the Voice archives.
March 5, 1958, Vol. III, No. 19
The Day Kerouac Almost, But Not Quite, Took Flatbush
By James Breslin
[No, not that Jimmy Breslin -- Tony O.]
"Man, how come I like your book, but I don't like you?" This remark was made amid loud jeering while Jack Kerouac played "meet the author" last Tuesday evening for Brooklyn college students.
Every campus Bohemian, Hobohemian, and Subterranean had donned crew-neck sweater, taken pen and notebook in hand, and marched right down to that lecture to find out just what this crazy Kerouac and his beat generation are all about, anyway.
Jack, however, who had left Columbia "because I quite the football team and had to start paying tuition," declined to make any pronouncements for the academy.
"What's the beat generation's outlook on life?"
"It's an illusion."
"What do you mean?"
"It's an illusion, not real--man, you ought to know, you go to college!"
The simmering hostility of the crowd boiled up as Kerouac identified his literary influences as Dostoevski and Walt Kelly. He calmly informed the Brooklynites that he wrote because he was bored, and published to make money.
Jack further declared that he was a story-teller and preacher, like Dostoevski, and that his writing, like a Chinaman, "spits forth intelligence."
When a student inquired whether Kerouac was at present sober, Danny Price, one of Jack's bushed entourage, broke in:
"There's probably not one person in this room who doesn't think he can write a book. But remember, this guy you're putting down has written one."
"Why don't you answer our questions?" someone complained.
"I'm a Zen Master," replied Kerouac.
The prosecution rested, and the defense opened with two energetic readings by poets Philip Lamantia and Howard Hart. A French horn blew a muted background.
Then the Kerouac group interrogated the crowd.
"What about love--nobody has even mentioned love?"
With an answer forthcoming, Lamantia read his poem on love to close the hearing.

She is the bestselling writer Kirkus calls "The queen of the summer novel," and this week she publishes her first holiday book, WINTER STREET. I asked what inspired her to leave the summertime shores behind, if she plays favorites with her books, and what we can look forward to next. JB: After publishing over a dozen novels set in the summertime on Nantucket, you have written a Winter Street. What made you decide to explore a new season for your story telling? EH: My publisher, Hachette, asked for a Christmas novel, and I thought it would be fun. I am happy to say, the novel basically wrote itself.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
THE LINER NOTES on Circulatory System's self-titled album list instruments that sound like Twinkie ingredients: zanzithophone and skembie. Among these warbling whatchamacallits are chamber-pop standards such as trombones and violins, as well as sheet metal and a magic tape organ. All of which culminates in an organic alternative to homogenized pre-packaged popular music.
Fans of Athens artniks Olivia Tremor Control will immediately recognize the crunchy taste of Circulatory System: The latter are merely a new-and-improved version of the former. Assembled after the departure of OTC co-founder Bill Doss, System is the signature of Olivia imagist Will Cullen Hart. Also contributing are members of Neutral Milk Hotel and Elf Power.
The technicolor dreamscapes that adorn Hart's album cover come with a sound as warm and encompassing as his group of friends. In the jamboree "Yesterday's World," Hart leads his buddies in a vocal round that's backed by rousing trumpets and marching drums: It's as if he's commanding a high school band to play Abbey Road backward. The musical nostalgia catches up with him as he reminisces, "Yesterday seems just so far away from these days." Hart has considerable skepticism about the present age, drawing instead upon the past impressions made by Brian Wilson, Phil Spector, and Joseph Byrd's United States of America--whose 1968 "The American Metaphysical Circus" incorporated a similar marching-band-on-acid aesthetic.
Hart has big shoes to fill, but his shoebox time capsule stands on its own. "Outside Blasts" finds a battalion of toy soldiers headed into battle behind his grumbling vocals, barely discernable beneath trembling waves of snare and renegade horns. On the subdued "Joy," Hart chants, "You can still believe in joy," before drowning in radio waves amidst the optimism of "The Lovely Universe." "Inside Blasts" is far more melancholy, but CS's Greek chorus soon echoes through "Symbols and Maps" as Hart meditates on spiritual recovery: "Such a long way," he says. For time travelers wanting all the adventure that a pair of headphones can provide, Circulatory System is like nothing else ever heard--especially for those who've heard it all before.

Iran's foreign minister is urging the world powers to avoid "troublemaking" issues as expert-level talks continue over its nuclear program.
Mohammad Javad Zarif made the comment in a joint news conference on Sunday with his Italian counterpart Emma Bonino. Mr. Zarif said, "All parties should avoid addressing issues that could be troublemaking." He did not elaborate.
Mr. Zarif expressed hope the talks will conclude "sooner or later". He said the current expert-level talks in Geneva are "slowly" moving forward.
In November, Iran agreed to cap its uranium enrichment in return for the West easing sanctions.
The West fears Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, like power generation and medical research.

The deficit we had to have for a more secure fiscal future
- From: The Courier-Mail
- December 21, 2012
FOR you and I this potential deficit means three parts of nearly nothing.
It will not impact the taxes we pay or the services we receive (in fact on the latter front they are less likely to be cut).
At best it may take some of the gloss off the Australian dollar (yet financial markets basically yawned at the news yesterday).
It will also take some of the pressure of the Reserve Bank to use monetary policy to combat a grumpy economy.
That's good news for the growing numbers of net savers in Australia, and perhaps not so good news for mortgage holders hoping for rates to plumb even deeper lows.
Really, though, the headline is that this is the deficit we had to have.
Have your say

People who claim I never have anything nice to say have never seen me fawn disgustingly over attractive women. That's when every cloyingly sweet statement I've ever conceived comes rolling out in a diarrhetic length of mumbles that ensures I'm one flinch away from a rape whistle to the ear. I should admire men who are more confident around beautiful women, but I just assume they're gay or serial killers or gay serial killers. If I ever met this chick I'd probably tell her she smells like the pleasant floral douches and ask if I can chew her used gum. Commence the whistle.

Pune: India qualifying for FIFA World Cup in coming decades seems a bleak dream, but the football academies in the city are leaving no stone unturned to turn this dream into reality.
The football academies in Pune were set up for just one goal, to produce world class players. Right from United Poona Sports Academy (UPSA) - the oldest academy in the city to Liverpool International Football Academy, the craze for the sport seems goes beyond leaps and bounds.
"It might sound impossible but we want to produce players who will qualify to represent India in the World Cup at least by 2040," said Elic Turner, director of Pune United Football Academy, with his head held high.
Started in 2001, the Pune United Football Academy trains around 300 young players at three different centres in Pune.
"We follow the coach to participant ratio. One coach is appointed and held responsible for 15 players," informed Turner.
Formed in 1995, UPSA coaches both girls and boys. The academy inspires children to be responsible citizens with the help of football as a sport. Two of the girls training at the UPSA academy have been selected by West Ham United training center. This year UPSA's Under-12 boys received the Fair Play Award. Murgud, who also coaches the youngsters at the centre, played for city teams such as Shivajians and Parasuramans. Currently, UPSA is training 108 kids.
"We aspire to make these kids into better human beings through the medium of football," said Vinay Murgud, founder of UPSA.
Mathew Susainathan, founder of Mathew Football Academy, believes that football, as a sport in Pune, is gaining popularity day by day. The Academy coaches 120 youths at the fee of Rs 1000 per month. "We also train financially underprivileged kids free of cost. Also, some of our players have been selected for I-League team which is an achievement for us," said Susainathan.
The Peninsula Pune FC Academy, which trains at Mamurdi, offers residential and non residential courses for 60 players per season, with four coaches appointed for the Under-17 and Under-19 team.
To add to Pune's glory, kids will now play football the Liverpool way, courtesy the Liverpool FC International Football Academy which was inaugurated recently.
As of today, there are around seven sports academies in the city which coaches football players. And with the evident hard work and force applied by these academies for the training of the kids, the scenario of India participating in the FIFA World Cup is not far away.

Ludwick late on those 1st 2 pitches......and then waves at a breaker low and away.
Washington got a hit against Fernandez. One hit though 6 innings. 6-0 MIA
3-0 Whiny Birds bottom of the 3rd
Say what you want about poor ab's....that pitcher was vicious. First time I've seen him before. Lights out.
94 and winning the division and the NLCS but falling in the WS to Toronto in 6
94 Reds / 86 Cards / 85 Pirates / 76 Cubs / 72 Brewers
I just checked the score- Joey, its about friggin time! keep it up (and tighten up the defense a little).
That was an ugly bottom of the 6th. EZ pickens.
3 strikeouts on 10 pitches. That's almost mathematically impossible
No room for error here with a 1 run lead.
Ludwick grabs it at the wall. whew!
Leake dealing

8 a.m. ET: Interleague play has ended and the Red Sox will shift gears to divisional play. The Red Sox will open up a three-game series against the Blue Jays as they attempt to continue a move up the AL East standings. Boston will look to pitcher Felix Doubront, who is 8-3 with a 4.31 ERA, to lead the team to a third straight victory. In his last outing, Doubront didn't have his best performance in the sweltering heat, allowing four runs over six innings against the Marlins. This time around, Doubront will go up against Blue Jays pitcher Henderson...

Have paddle, will travel
Ping-Pong saga is low on pretensions and high on goofiness
One of the jokes in "Balls of Fury" is that the arch-fiend Feng -- who dresses in elaborate discards from the wardrobes of Ming the Merciless and Fu Manchu -- is played by Christopher Walken without makeup or any attempt to seem even unconvincingly Asian. The actor even speaks in his famously flat Queens accent, so that "Ping-Pong," for example, becomes "Ping-Pahn-guh."
It's a small joke, but better the small jokes of the low-budget and proudly puerile "Balls of Fury" than, say, the bloated non-belly laughs of "Rush Hour 3." Both comedies include scenes in which the lead characters walk gingerly because of an unfortunate, um, butt circumstance; yet such lowbrow antics are much easier to take in "Balls of Fury," the movie that didn't cost $140 million.
A table tennis spoof of "Enter the Dragon" modeled on the intentionally unreal character-based concept comedies of Will Ferrell ("Talladega Nights," "Blades of Glory"), "Balls of Fury" stars blobby Dan Fogler (a Tony-winner for the Broadway musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee") as Randy Daytona, a former pingpong prodigy brought out of retirement by the FBI in a scheme to infiltrate an international underground Ping-Pong tournament at super-criminal Feng's hideout.
Armed with his lucky Def Leppard paddle, Randy trains with blind Master Wong, played by 78-year-old James Hong (the Feng-like villain of "Big Trouble in Little China"), who effortlessly steals every scene. Also easy to watch is Maggie Q as Wong's niece, a minimally dressed martial artist. George Lopez is Randy's FBI mentor; Jason Scott Lee -- who played the star of "Enter the Dragon" in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" -- is a Ping-Pong bully.
"Balls of Fury" was written and directed by "Reno 911!" honcho Ben Garant and co-written by his Comedy Central collaborator Thomas Lennon, who appears in the film as Randy's Teutonic arch-rival. The filmmakers make the most of the movie's secret weapon: Ping-Pong -- as anyone who has seen a legitimate top competition knows -- really is fun to watch. Again, it's a matter of scale. All the silly shots of CGI bouncing balls in "Fury" probably cost less to create than the single image of a urinating robot in "Transformers," yet the special-effects table tennis is more entertaining and less depressing.

Connecting the oceans and human health.
The proximity of human populations to ocean coasts is not surprising when our past, current, and future dependence on coastal waterways for food, commerce, travel, and recreation are taken into consideration. The largest source of protein in the world is fish, and more fish are harvested throughout the world than cattle, sheep, poultry, or eggs (Srinivas 1999). Billions of dollars are generated annually from fishing alone (National Marine Fisheries Service 2003), and other commercial ventures include travel and recreational use of coastal waterways. In addition to human dependence on the oceans for life, work, food, travel, and fun, human health is also associated with the oceans.
The oceans are teeming with life and serve as the world's greatest reservoir of biodiversity, including marine mammals, fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and countless species of zoo- and phytoplankton. It is this marvelous biodiversity that will allow us to take advantage of the oceans' bounty, and identify and develop marine-derived biopharmaceuticals to improve human health outcomes. Recent work from a number of investigators' laboratories has shown that marine invertebrates produce compounds that have potential for development as pharmaceuticals, with applications in treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular and infectious diseases, and certain cancers.
Human health outcomes related to the oceans have been documented as far back as 800 B.C., when illness resulting from consumption of contaminated fish was recorded in Homer's Odyssey (Halstead 1988). In present times, ocean-related human illnesses are still primarily caused by consumption of contaminated seafood, but are also caused by inhalation of aerosolized toxins. Worldwide each year, more than 60,000 cases of poisoning by exposure to harmful algal blooms (HABs) are reported (Van Dolah 2000). HABs release marine toxins that are frequently associated with kills of fish, birds, and marine mammals. Adverse health outcomes in humans range from acute neurotoxic disorders such as paralytic shellfish poisoning, neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, and ciguatera fish poisoning to more chronic diseases such as chronic liver disease caused by microcystins and amnesic shellfish poisoning from domoic acid exposure. Presently it is not known what is responsible for or triggers outbreaks of HABs. Methodologies for early detection or remote sensing of outbreaks would provide a major mechanism for reducing and preventing exposures to marine toxins released by HABs.
Worldwide, human activities associated with point and nonpoint sources of pollution result in the discharge of billions of gallons of wastewater into oceans and coastal waterways. In the United States alone, 2.8 billion gallons of industrial wastewater are released into the oceans annually (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1994). These activities represent human patterns and behaviors that exacerbate the adverse impact that oceans and coastal waterways can have on human health through exposure to water- or vectorborne pathogens. It is clear that the oceans are a life-sustaining, reinvigorating resource that demands proper stewardship, because human well-being and public health outcomes are at risk. Greater resources should be brought to bear in terms of scientific research on pathogen growth patterns and detection in the oceans. This would greatly facilitate reduction of hazardous human exposure and disease.
The oceans have unfortunately become conduits for a number of environmental threats to human health. In order to guard against health threats, and at the same time to take advantage of medicinal benefits that the oceans might provide, the impact of oceans on human health must be more fully explored. Programmatic development in oceans and human health research originated in 1998, when the NIEHS participated in interagency activities, workshops, and Institute of Medicine panels as part of the International Year of the Ocean. That same year, the NIEHS cosponsored the U.S. Pavilion with its theme of Oceans and Human Health at the World's Fair in Lisbon. A 1998 presidential National Ocean Conference in Monterey, California, and subsequent workshops at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research and elsewhere assisted in providing the framework for a research strategy. Through multiple discussions, the NIEHS and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences decided to create one oceans and human health research program that would combine NSF expertise in ocean biology, chemistry, and physics with NIEHS expertise in environmental health and prevention research. This program would also take advantage of the institute's ties to the public health community.
The four new Centers for Oceans and Human Health collaboratively sponsored by the NIEHS and the NSF (and described on p. A468 of this issue) have established a new paradigm for linking the health and the rich resources of the Earth's oceans with the health outcomes of the Earth's population. By harnessing the various talents, disciplines, and expertise of scientists supported by the collaborating agencies; by combining the tools of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics with physical oceanography; and by stimulating intercenter cooperation and coordination, this program offers tremendous promise for developing more comprehensive linkages between oceans and human health as the world's population continues to depend on one of our greatest natural resources for food, commerce, transportation, and recreation. Supported by the physical and biological science resources of the NSF and the NIEHS, the centers also demonstrate the capacity of federal research agencies to collaborate and leverage resources to foster high-quality interdisciplinary research.
This novel, groundbreaking interagency effort fulfills one of the key recommendations of the recent Preliminary Report of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy (U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy 2004): to encourage interdisciplinary marine biomedical research to improve our understanding of the links between oceans and human health. In the coming years, these NIEHS-NSF Centers for Oceans and Human Health will serve as models both of life-physical sciences interaction and of federal coordination.
