One-third of GOP voters would follow Trump
A new poll suggests a third-party run by Donald Trump could be a problem for the Republican Party.
These dangerous creatures tend to run in tight packs. Using finely tuned senses, they are able to spot vulnerable prey, and once they have their sights set on a target, it is tough to refocus their attention. With swift ferociousness, they can easily rip their prey apart, leaving a trail of destruction behind them.
I'm not talking about animals on the African plain. I'm talking about "mean girls." These are the young ladies that are more than just "not nice." They can be downright cruel and vindictive towards others they deem weaker or those they see as a threat. Their weapons of choice are emotional pain, put downs, degradation, and intentional humiliation.
Before you write off mean girls as myth, there's a significant amount of evidence for their existence. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found that one in four adolescent girls has been the perpetrator of or has participated in a violent act in the past year. Another recent national survey revealed that 33 percent of female students reported being bullied at school. And simply catch the national news, or read about teen suicides brought about by relentless teasing and emotional violence by other kids. Mean girls do exist, and the pain they cause can be devastating.
So how do you know if your teenage daughter is one of these mean girls? And what can you do to change her ways?
Stay watchful
Today's culture is tough on girls. We live in a performance-driven society where worth is determined by how you look, what you do, or what you have. Add to that the violence and sexuality portrayed in the media and the lack of solid female role models, and we have an environment ripe for mean girls. The drive to compete for attention, popularity, or individuality, pushes these girls to be more sexual, more violent, or to devalue themselves based on the performance treadmill.
Though I don't excuse their behavior, every mean girl I've met is really an insecure child, trying to live up to unreal expectations. Generally, the meanness is a coping mechanism to survive in a performance-driven environment. So these girls try to bring up their own self-esteem by insulting or putting other girls down. If they can make another person look bad, perhaps they'll look better. This can also happen when a new girl arrives at school, or another girl gets more attention from guys, teachers and parents, making the other girls feel threatened. Desperate for attention, the "mean girls" go out of their way to tear that person down.
As parents, we cannot shy away from the issue. It does no good to stick our heads in the sand and say, "Well, that's girls for you," and leave it at that. We need to look for the warning signs of a mean girl attitude, and nip them in the bud. If you see your daughter developing habits of mocking other people, dressing more provocatively, picking fights with siblings or parents or growing an angry or spiteful demeanor, it's time to dig a little deeper.
Stay involved
Through my years counseling with parents and teens, I have seen how loving parents can be blindsided by a child who becomes a "mean girl." Mom and dad sit in my office, shocked to hear how their little girl is terrorizing someone else. "We had no idea!" they tell me. It can be difficult to see our children as capable of abusing or hurting other people. But to prevent your daughter from becoming a mean girl, or to stop your daughter from a habit of bullying, it is critical that parents stay active and involved.
This may result in having all the passwords to your teen's online accounts. With the anonymity of the Internet, kids are finding what I call "digital courage," and using Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites to say things that they wouldn't say in person. Cyber bullying is a growing problem as teens and adults lob emotional bombs while hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet. So keep tabs on your child's online activity. If you discover any cyber bullying, deal with it as soon as possible. Be sure to stress the damage that such abuse can cause, then enact stiff consequences for such behavior.
Stay involved with friends as well. Ask questions about the people your daughter hangs out with, and what they do together. If your child is hanging out with girls who are sarcastic or hurtful to others, talk honestly about the concerns you have. Let her know that you don't want her to be a mean girl, and character is more important than fitting in.
Staying involved with your child may also mean enlisting the help of pastors, teachers, mentors, or professionals to help your daughter work through some tough issues. Many times the mean girls are the ones who were bullied before, and they are simply repeating what they have experienced. Stay engaged with your child, and dig into the cause for their behavior. Maintaining a relationship with your daughter goes a long way in overcoming a mean girl attitude.
Stay proactive
I don't think it's enough to simply stop girls from bullying other girls. To really make a change in the heart of a mean girl we have to be proactive! And that can start in the home. Make a point to stop mocking others in your family. If you find yourself participating in insulting others, or tearing people down, swallow your pride and admit your mistake in front of your daughter. Let her know you are willing to change and become more positive with your family and others.
Another way to be proactive is to challenge your daughter to place herself in someone else's shoes. One of my favorite quotes is from the book To Kill a Mockingbird, in which a courageous lawyer tells his young daughter, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view." This is the best advice for dealing with a mean girl. Show them how their actions are affecting others. Tell them how destructive bullying can be. Ask them to see things from another person's view.
Even if you don't have a mean girl, you can still be proactive in preventing bullying, and that's by encouraging the bystanders. Too many times, others watch as kids are picked on, abused, or treated poorly. The passivity of bystanders allows bullying to continue without consequences. But if we model and teach our teens the importance of standing up for the little guy and protecting those who are being victimized, we can make a serious dent in the bullying problem.
A recent news story illustrates this idea. A teenage girl, who had been the target of abuse from other girls, was nominated for the homecoming dance queen as a cruel joke. Humiliated and distraught, the young lady had thoughts of suicide. But once word got around about the mistreatment, the entire town rallied behind this young girl, offering her free haircuts, prom dresses, dinners, and limos. They started a Facebook page, where caring individuals from all over showed their support and scolded the bullies. And many of the kids from the school stood behind her and supported the joke nomination as a reality. The day of the dance, this teenage girl went to homecoming with her head held high, and was crowned the dance queen. The positive actions of the people in the town stopped the bullies dead in their tracks. We need more people like that. Let's teach our kids to be brave and bold, and stand up for those who need assistance and help.
Mean girls don't have to be a fact of life. There are positive steps you can take to prevent it. With a little proactive effort, we can transform that carnivorous lioness into a gentle kitten.

Washington: The Indispensable Man, by James Thomas Flexner
Washington: The Indispensable Man.
by James Thomas Flexner.
Little, Brown. 423 pp. $12.50.
This admirable biography is condensed from James Thomas Flexner's earlier four-volume work, which began to appear in 1965 and was finished two years ago. Actually, the present work is more a summation than a condensation, since it has been largely rewritten and occasionally reorganized. The narrative proceeds at a breathtaking clip, passing over Washington's first forty-three years in seventy pages and devoting only a hundred more to the entire Revolution. These limits of space force Flexner to omit some of the delightful detail of his earlier books. For instance, we miss the Rules of Civility, copied out by the young George: "In the presence of others, sing not to yourself with a humming noise nor drum with your fingers or feet"; "Kill no vermin, as fleas, lice, ticks, etc. in the sight of others"; "Cleanse not your teeth with the tablecloth"; and so on. Some illuminating chapters of the earlier work, like the study of Washington's art collection, are missing altogether. Flexner, who is also a distinguished historian of American art, may have thought this chapter a self-indulgence, but the discussion of Washington's taste for wild American landscapes shows better than anything else in the book the extent to which our first President was shaped by the American frontier. And once or twice one has the feeling that the rewritten, condensed passages overstate points that were presented with more scholarly nuance in the original. What remains, however, is still the best part of the work. In this one volume, we have an uncluttered and coherent account of Washington's development.
In his discussion of the American Revolution, Flexner returns several times to the theme of Washington's inexperience in military matters, until one wonders whether he might not be exaggerating the point simply to guard against the charge of hero-worship. In one sense, of course, the charge of inexperience is undeniably true. In 1753, at the age of twenty-one, Washington had led a suprise attack on a party of French and Indians that sparked the Seven Years' War and earned him an ignominious reputation in the eyes of everyone but his colonial contemporaries. Later, as a volunteer adviser to General Braddock, he distinguished himself for bravery in the midst of a bloody ambush of British forces by the French and Indians—the worst disaster in Anglo-American history. This, together with a two-year stint as Colonel of the Virginia Regiment, was the extent of Washington's military training when he was called upon to be commander-in chief of a New England insurrection in 1775. Flexner makes it plain that Washington was not feigning modesty when he told the Continental Congress, "I beg it may be remembered, by every gentleman in this room, that I, this day, declare with the utmost sincerity, I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with."
Yet military greatness depends on far more than technical experience. There were times when the revolutionary army was kept together, it seemed, only by Washington's force of will. And if Washington lacked an extensive grasp of 18th-century military science, he more than made up for it by his remarkable strategic insight, which took full advantage of American terrain. When Washington evacuated Long Island and New York and began his withdrawal across New Jersey in late 1776, he may have been following the dictates of a prudence learned from brooding over his impetuous behavior twenty years earlier. But he was also providing a masterful demonstration of a strategic retreat into a protected hinterland, a doctrine later codified by Clausewitz (and more recently plagiarized by Mao Tse-tung) .
In the Christmas battle of Trenton, Washington showed what an irregular force could do to an overextended occupying army. His troops could move more quickly and infiltrate behind the lines of the less mobile enemy. Attacking supply lines, showing up where least expected, receiving aid from local farmers who had previously feigned loyalty to the occupying army, his revolutionaries recovered two-thirds of their four-month-long retreat in the space of two weeks. Such warfare has a very contemporary sound, yet it all took place two centuries ago on the plains of New Jersey.
One can easily overdo this line of argument, however. The Trenton campaign was Washington's high point as a strategist. Other battles were won by subordinates or, in the case of Yorktown, by French "military advisers." Yet it is to Washington in the field that we must look for some sense of the personality that historians have had so much trouble in bringing to life. One commonly hears Washington described as cold or remote. Certainly to his men, he was an imposing figure, dignified, self-restrained, and physically impressive. (Flexner emphasizes that Washington, standing 6'2", was an athletic giant.) But he was also affable, bantering, and particularly lively in the officers' mess.
Although Washington is properly remembered for his moderation and clemency toward the Tories in his jurisdiction, he was not a man to cross. When General Charles Lee, a former rival for the Continental command, failed to press an attack at the Battle of Monmouth, Washington flew into a rage of legendary proportions. (Flexner observes, "Every type of American has wished to make Washington an exemplar of his favorite activity, and thus it has been often repeated that on this occasion Washington established a record for eloquent profane swearing.") If Washington occasionally lost control of his furious temper, he was also, in very unusual circumstances, capable of holding a sustained grudge. Early in 1778, at the time of Valley Forge, several officers and politicians tried to force Washington to resign, alleging his incompetence. A public outcry squelched the attempt (later called the "Conway Cabal" after one leader). But Washington would not let the matter rest, and encouraged his aides to seek out duels with his enemies.
Rather than emphasizing these human qualities, the grade-school version of Washington prefers to stress his virtue, devotion to duty, personal integrity, and the like. These qualities he possessed, and they deserve emulation. But grade schools do as much damage to history as Sunday schools do to religion. By hammering names, dates, and a few eroded clichés into their students at an early age, they succeed mainly in imparting a permanent distaste for the subject.
If such mental barriers prevent a close look at Washington's personality, an entirely separate sort of myopia has left his role in political history seriously out of focus. During the first third of this century, historians of the early republic seem to have been preoccupied with finding parallels to the class conflicts of the Progressive era and the New Deal. Their work concentrated on the feud between the "Hamiltonians" and the "Jeffersonians," and they were on the whole biased in favor of Jefferson. This emphasis has resulted in a distorted picture of Washington's administration.
Flexner succeeds in restoring the proper balance. He remembers, as the Hamilton-Jefferson school forgets, that during Washington's Presidency Washington was the President. Washington made the final decisions, and he acted on his own principles. During the controversies raised by French-British fighting, for example, he was much less favorably disposed to the British than was Hamilton, and much more skeptical of the French Revolution than was Jefferson. Washington tried to keep the two men in his cabinet to get the benefit of both viewpoints; each party to the feud tried to turn Washington against the other, or at least to neutralize his opponent's influence, but the antagonists shrink in stature when measured against Washington's concern for the public good.
In Flexner's perspective, Hamilton no longer appears as the eminence grise of the administration. Although Hamilton did draft many of Washington's statements, even after he had left the cabinet, Flexner maintains that he wrote only what Washington wanted him to, knowing from experience that the President would delete anything he disagreed with. On several important matters, Washington rejected Hamilton's advice and accepted Jefferson's. In Flexner's presentation, Hamilton is diminished to a brilliant subaltern, who derived his political prestige from Washington. In short, although Washington needed Hamilton, Hamilton needed Washington more.
But Flexner is on the whole sympathetic to Hamilton, who will be the subject of his next biography. It is Jefferson who receives the full brunt of his disapproval. As a cabinet officer, Jefferson was a statesman; as a party leader, he was an inspiring radical propagandist. But the attempt to combine the two roles, when his faction was opposed to the government he served, involved a certain degree of duplicity. During the debate on the Neutrality Proclamation, says Flexner, Jefferson helped to draft a policy which he simultaneously denounced in confidential letters to his friends Madison and Monroe. In the "Citizen Genet" affair, Secretary of State Jefferson at first encouraged the emissary from revolutionary France but then backed off when Genet embarked on a disastrous attempt to appeal to the American people over Washington's head. Genet, at least, knew enough of the situation to claim afterward that Jefferson had doublecrossed him.
Washington has sometimes been portrayed as an agent of the moneyed class, an anti-democrat, even a proto-monarch. Much of this misunderstanding is a result of Jefferson's attempt to confuse the record. Even more, however, has come from the stubborn refusal of the 20th century to understand the political vocabulary of the 18th. In one of the more enlightening passages of the book, Flexner explains why Washington, in the immediate aftermath of the Whiskey Rebellion, attacked the Democratic Societies, a proto-political party encouraged by Jefferson. His oblique reference in his Sixth Annual Address to Congress to "certain self-created societies" was interpreted by Jefferson as "an attack on the freedom of discussion, the freedom of writing, printing, and publishing." But Washington really intended, notes Flexner, to warn against factions which organized themselves outside of constitutional institutions, and threatened to pervert the relation of a constituency to its representative, bending and exploiting local grievances for the national purposes of a group of men standing outside the government. Washington was convinced that the Whiskey Rebellion had resulted from such agitation.
Attitudes have changed since Washington's time, thanks largely to the work of Jefferson, but the former's basic position still has some validity. The influence of national parties over Congressional constituencies is limited; reformers who try to extend that influence are more out of touch with the nature of our institutions than they care to admit.
Even more difficult for our impatient age to grasp is the supremely 18th-century virtue of prudence. The paramount exercise of this virtue in Washington's life came in his treatment of slavery. In a chapter which is probably the book's most important contribution to scholarship on Washington, Flexner illustrates Washington's steadily growing aversion to the institution. As a revolutionary leader, Washington knew that slavery would be fundamentally incompatible with American liberty. This conviction grew stronger after the war and was a major factor in Washington's rejection of Jefferson's slave-based agrarianism. But Washington was unable to oppose the institution on an effective scale. After the Revolution, he offered to lend his prestige to any politically viable emancipation movement in Virginia, but none developed. At the same time, the larger issue of national unity took precedence in his mind, in the form of the movement toward a Constitutional Convention. The success of this movement depended on Washington's prestige. If Washington had squandered his reputation on a quixotic campaign against slavery, argues Flexner, "he would undoubtedly have failed to achieve the end of slavery, and he would certainly have made impossible the role he played in the Constitutional Convention and the Presidency."
This argument has something of an old-fashioned ring to it, which some might not like to hear. In a sense, the whole tone of this work is old-fashioned—Flexner does not hesitate to praise Washington, for example, for his "political virtue." The course of modern scholarship has erected all sorts of prejudices against thinking in such terms. Yet the words are undeniably just. Flexner has rendered an invaluable service by restoring to us a mature and intelligent portrait of Washington, the republican hero. One hopes we are still capable of appreciating the example.

This was fantastic! The topping browned about 5 minutes early than the recipe said, otherwise I did everything as stated. Big success with the family - served warm with ice cream.
This was not bad, a little soupy and i didn't really like the topping, i found it kind of boring, i can't really put my finger on it, just for me it was missing a little something something

This was good, but it was a little wetter than I would have liked. I did used frozen peaches, but they were very well drained before putting the cobbler together. I used blueberries as suggested since huckleberries don't seem to be available in my area. This is a very tasty dessert served with vanilla ice cream.
It was very easy to make. The taste was good. Will make again.
Excellent recipe modified. I used six fresh, ripe peaches, and 1 cup blueberries instead of huckleberries. Additional mods: 1) Added 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and 1/8 tsp. nutmeg to fruit mixture; 2) increased topping by one half; 3) to topping added 1/8 tsp. nutmeg and 1/8 tsp. cardamom; 4) substituted buttermilk for milk.
As mentioned by others, the fruit mixture does end with more liquid than typical, however, with the increase in topping it evens out. Delicious and will make again:)
I used fresh peaches and blueberries and it was fantastic! My family loved it and gobbled it all up! I did increase the sugar with the fruit mixture because I knew my peaches were not super sweet and I used more than 3 cups of peaches.
This was delicious and came out perfect. The only change I made was using 1 cup of frozen blueberries (threw them in frozen) and 4 cups of sliced peaches. Topped with whipped cream, it was a nice finish to our dinner.
Advice on how to avoid a soggy cobler -> Its amazing ! I used my own frozen huckleberries i picked myself ! I had a ton of left over juice in the pan tho. And i definately didnt want a soggy cobbler. So i used a syringe to get all the juices out, I then proceeded to use the extra juices and hucks to make a sauce topping ( which freakung rocked btw) and i hand made some whipped cream to go with it as well. This recipe is a winner with minor changes and additions.

Product description
Best Reference Books of 2012 presented by Library Journal The Great Irish Famine is the most pivotal event in modern Irish history, with implications that cannot be underestimated. Over a million people perished between 1845-1852, and well over a million others fled to other locales within Europe and America. By 1850, the Irish made up a quarter of the population inBoston, New York City, Philadelphia, andBaltimore. The 2000 US census had 41 million people claim Irish ancestry, or one in five white Americans. Atlas of the Great Irish Famine (1845-52) considers how such a near total decimation of a country by natural causes could take place in industrialized, 19th century Europe and situates the Great Famine alongside other world famines for a more globally informed approach. The Atlas seeks to try and bear witness to the thousands and thousands of people who died and are buried in mass Famine pits or in fields and ditches, with little or nothing to remind us of their going. The centrality of the Famine workhouse as a place of destitution is also examined in depth. Likewise the atlas represents and documents the conditions and experiences of the many thousands who emigrated from Ireland in those desperate years, with case studies of famine emigrants in cities such as Liverpool, Glasgow, New York and Toronto. The Atlas places the devastating Irish Famine in greater historic context than has been attempted before, by including over 150 original maps of population decline, analysis and examples of poetry, contemporary art, written and oral accounts, numerous illustrations, and photography, all of which help to paint a fuller picture of the event and to trace its impact and legacy. In this comprehensive and stunningly illustrated volume, over fifty chapters on history, politics, geography, art, population, and folklore provide readers with a broad range of perspectives and insights into this event.

Review quote
"This monumental work is far more than an Atlas, it is the definitive summary of all aspects of the Great Irish Famine. The many maps are accompanied by accessible yet scientifically sound texts. The demographics and geography are surveyed with unequaled detail and care, yet the historical background, the politics, and the economics of the Famine are discussed at an equally high scholarly level. Lavishly illustrated and scholarly immaculate, written by the best scholars in the field, this volume belongs in the library of everyone interested in the greatest natural disaster of the modern age."-Joel Mokyr, Northwestern University"

On 9 January 2013, Cecilia Malmström, Member of the EC in charge of Home Affairs, and Troels Oerting, Head of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), held a joint press conference on the European Cybercrime Centre that will be inaugurated on 11 January in The Hague, the Netherlands.
The opening of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) marks a significant shift in how the EU has been addressing cybercrime so far. Above all, the approach of the EC3 will be more forward-thinking and inclusive. It will pool expertise and information, support criminal investigations and promote EU-wide solutions.
The EC3 will focus on illegal online activities carried out by organised crime groups, especially attacks targeting e-banking and other online financial activities, online child sexual exploitation and those crimes that affect the critical infrastructure and information systems in the EU.
The Centre will also facilitate research and development and ensure capacity building among law enforcement, judges and prosecutors and will produce threat assessments, including trend analyses, forecasts and early warnings. In order to dismantle more cybercrime networks and prosecute more suspects, the EC3 will gather and process cybercrime related data and will provide a Cybercrime Help desk for EU countries' law enforcement units. It will offer operational support to EU countries (e.g. against intrusion, fraud, online child sexual abuse, etc.) and deliver high-level technical, analytical and forensic expertise in EU joint investigations.

Given the hype, this had been on my radar for quite awhile, and I finally made it there to celebrate a birthday. My party has the 5 course tasting menu, which was tasty. Everything was nice, but in such a competitive 'hood for dinner eats, I do think the flawless service is their best asset. We'll be back, and I look forward to trying dishes from the regular menu; for now, it doesn't get my vote for #1 in Carroll Gardens, aka mecca for foodies!
Posted by vvespjo on 03/11/2012
we waited an hour and a half but it was worth it. hostess was smart and honest and made it easier to deal with the wait. fluke carpaccio was clean a delicious. sweetbreads were best i've had in a long time. pasta was undercooked but they took it back and followed by fish dish that i could have licked the dish clean. really cute date place. not good for big parties.
Posted by anonymous on 01/30/2012
Wonderful addition to Smith Street. The space is small and intimate, the service could not be better and the food is amazing. Great for date night. Be sure to try the kale salad.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/28/2012
My husband and I had the 7 course tasting menu and were more and more delighted as the night went on. The kale salad was my favorite, followed closely by the duck and pasta. Inventive food, great service, and spectacular night!
Posted by catiei on 11/01/2011
Each dish was creative and exactingly prepared. I thought the duck breast needed the skin to be more crisp and my pasta cooked just a tad more but overall it was great from the amuse to the desserts. Overall the fabulous vegetables were the more memorable but the fennel panacotta dessert was a close second.

Here is a poem that was published in another of my favorite online places, Vox Poetica, back in 2011. It was a little different then. Here is the link to its appearance in Annmarie Lockhart's lovely daily poem blog.
To Be Like Poems
There is something about the way
a poem sits on a page surrounded
by so much white space, the stanzas boldly
declaring their independence, the lines,
rarely reaching the margin, yet
taking themselves so seriously,
believing they deserve to be broken,
set apart, spoken in single,
emphatic expulsions of breath, the words
carefully chosen for sound, denotation,
connotation, association, intentionally placed,
measured, juxtaposed, the crisp
black curls and lines of letters
staunchly denying the oppression of the void,
crush of prose, even a title
given to somewhere between 5 words,
the shortest decent poem I've ever
read, and a couple hundred,
sometimes even a byline for what
might only be a single sentence
that makes me think there might be hope
for us all if we could learn to be
like poems, vital, connected, leaning
into the moment a little harder.

Thomas Hamilton Forrester is a fictional character on The Bold and the Beautiful. He is played by Pierson Fodé since July 2015. The role has previously been played by Adam Gregory from September 2010-September 2013 and made one final appearance in February 2014 and Drew Tyler Bell from January 2004-August 2010.
Thomas is the son of Ridge and Taylor Forrester. He has two younger sisters, Phoebe Forrester and Steffy Forrester and younger half-brother, R.J. Forrester, from Ridge's marriage to Brooke Logan.
Conception and ChilhoodEdit
When Taylor discovered she was pregnant with her first child in 1997, she attempted to tell Ridge that he was the father. However, when she saw her romantic rival, Brooke, seducing him, she nearly miscarried from stress. Thinking that Ridge would be happier with Brooke, Taylor, Thorne Forrester (Ridge's brother), and Brooke convinced everyone that Thorne was the father. Brooke and Thorne were secretly working together to make sure that Ridge and Taylor wouldn't get back together and convinced both of them that the other did not want them. Taylor wanted to tell Ridge the truth many times, but agreed to keep quiet when Brooke announced her own pregnancy and Ridge was the father. When Taylor realized that Brooke was actually not pregnant, Brooke moved up the wedding day causing Taylor to miss it due to giving birth to her son in the back of Thorne's car. When she saw the unmistakable bond between Ridge and her baby and realized he really wasn't in love with Brooke at the time, Taylor confessed everything to Ridge, about him being the baby's real father, about Brooke's false pregnancy, and how Brooke convinced her to have Thorne be the father instead. Furious, Ridge annulled his marriage to Brooke and proposed, later married, Taylor. In 1999, Taylor and Ridge were overjoyed when they discovered they were expecting twin daughters. Just a few months before the expected delivery, Taylor was infected with tuberculosis by a homeless man. She refused treatment when antibiotics could affect both her unborn daughters and gave birth to them. Taylor eventually recovered from the disease and named her twins Steffy and Phoebe. Ridge and Taylor finally had the family they had always wanted, but in 2001, while on vacation, Steffy was presumed dead when she fell overboard from a boat during a storm, but was actually kidnapped by a mentally unstabled woman named Morgan DeWitt who wanted a child with Ridge. Ridge rescued Steffy and Taylor from Morgan, and they reunited with Thomas and Phoebe. But in 2002, Taylor died after being shot by Sheila Carter while defending Brooke. After her death, Thomas and his sisters were upset when Brooke took over as a parent for them and married Ridge. In 2004, after being aged to 18, Thomas became involved with Caitlin Ramirez, Hector Ramirez's daughter who was an intern at Forrester Creations. Starting out as friends, they eventually began dating each other. But their relationship went downhill when Thomas discovered that Caitlin was also seeing Rick Forrester. Devastated, Thomas found comfort in Rick's babysitter, Amber Moore. What started as a friendship between them soon turned into a serious relationship after Amber seduced Thomas, much to Ridge and Stephanie's dismay. But they unwillingly began accepting their relationship even after Ridge tried getting a restraining order against Amber, but was declined because Thomas was over 18. Ridge never gave up on trying to break them up, but Thomas eventually came to the realization that Amber wasn't the one for him and completely dumped Amber after she nearly got Ridge and Bridget Forrester killed in Big Bear.
Marriage to GabyEdit
He began seeing Caitlin again after her relationship with Rick didn't work out. In 2005, Thomas became interested in Gabriela Moreno, devastating Caitlin who tried to win Thomas back. Gaby revealed to Thomas that she was the daughter of Helen Moreno, was a long-time maid for Forrester. They both shared a commonity in having loss their mothers at young ages. It was then revealed that Taylor was actually alive and reunited with her family. Although he was grateful to Brooke for everything she had done for him and his sisters when Taylor was thought to be dead, Thomas asked Brooke to step aside so this parents could contine their marriage. Brooke reluctantly agreed and moved out of Ridge's home and her marriage to Ridge was declared invalid. During this time, Thomas also took an interest in becoming a designer and even tried out for the summer internship, but his grandfather, Eric Forrester, turned him down because he was too young and inexperienced. However, Sally Spectra, owner of Spectra Couture, hired him right away, not caring that he was young and inexperienced.
In order to keep Gaby from being deported, Thomas proposed to her and they married in Las Vegas. Ridge and Taylor were divided by their marriage: Ridge wanted Thomas to annulled the marriage immediately while Taylor accepted the relationship. She even allowed them to move into their house on one condition: no sex in the family home. But Thomas and Gaby couldn't resist the temptation and had sex, which was later exposed by his sister, Phoebe, after she found a condom wrapper. Thinking that her brother's marriage would cause her parents to separate, she showed Taylor the condom wrapper, enraging her. She called the Immigration Department and told them Gaby was an illegal, but Gaby's lawyer managed to keep her in the country, which turned into a heated rivalry between Taylor and Gaby.
After refusing to accept their marraige, Ridge finally offered a compromise to Thomas: they would both design teen lines for their respective fashion homes. If Thomas won, their marriage could continue without interference from the family. But if Ridge won, the marriage would be annulled and Gaby would be deported. Thomas accepted the challenge and Sally even bet her company that Thomas will win the challenge. After the showdown, Thomas lost his challenge and Sally lost her company. When the annullment papers arrived, it was then revealed that Taylor had gone to great lengths to get Gaby to become a legal U.S. citizen and succeeded. Gaby and Thomas then agreed that Taylor was right about their marriage and they both reluctantly annulled their marriage and Gaby left town to attend college. Thomas eventually left Los Angeles as well to attend college and returned for various family occasions.
Leaving L.A.Edit
Thomas was heartbroken when he and his sisters found out that Ridge and Taylor were ending their marraige and he was returning to Brooke. Thomas left town for college again and later began working for Forrester Internationals.
Death of Phoebe and Hatred of RickEdit
Thomas returned to Los Angeles in 2009 to mourn the tragic death of his sister, Phoebe. He believed Rick was responisble for her death as he was driving when she was killed. He then was livid when he found out that not only did Rick hit on Phoebe and Taylor, he then began hitting on his other sister, Steffy. Soon, Rick's life was being threatened when his house was intentionally set on fire and his car was bombed. Taylor soon discovered that Rick's assailant was Thomas. Thomas admitted to Taylor, Ridge, and Steffy that he set Rick's house on fire and blew up his car for revenge, but claimed that he wanted to scare him off, not kill him. Although Steffy was at first furious with Thomas for threatening her lover's life, she eventually agreed with Ridge and Taylor to keep quiet about his criminal attempts. Rick eventually found out that Thomas was his assailant and wanted him hauled off to jail, but held off as Ridge convinced him that neither him nor any of the Forresters tried to incriminate him for Phoebe's death. Rick agreed to keep quiet about Thomas, but on the condition that he gets Steffy in return. Although unhappy with the decision, the family accepted his Rick and Steffy's relationship, and Thomas began getting counselled by James Warwick. Ridge and Rick's hatred toward each other nearly tore up his relationship with Brooke. Later on, he and Steffy manipulated Brooke by pretending to be Ridge via text messages to keep her from ruining Ridge and Taylor's wedding. But Brooke eventually discovered that Thomas and Steffy tried to keep her away, and Ridge reunited with Brooke, much to the dismay of the kids, but Taylor accepted it. Thomas once again left town and returned to Forrester Internationals in Paris.
Thomas returned in 2010 completely unaware of the changes that have happened in the last year. He discovered that Taylor gave Steffy her 25% shares in Forrester Creations (which she had earned earlier when Steffy re-handed the stock to Ridge, Stephanie, Taylor, and Eric). To keep Thomas at ease, Steffy offers him the Vice-President seat which he accepts. Tired of biting his own tongue, Thomas finally lashes out at Taylor for creating a monster out of Steffy by giving her all of Taylor's stock and accuses Steffy of being a tyrant and a hyprocite for also judging and criticizing Brooke of being sexual and seductive towards men when Steffy did the exact same thing to Bill Spencer, Jr. to get the company back in the hands of the Forresters. Thomas goes against the company's wishes to let Brooke leave it for awhile after she causing a scandal when she inadvertently slept with her daughter, Hope Logan's boyfriend, Oliver Jones during Hope's graduation celebration just to spite Taylor and Steffy. He believes the scandal will die down as it has done in the past, but bringing Brooke back in the forefront will only escalate the scandal of becoming a more focused media topic.
Attraction Towards BrookeEdit
Later on in 2010, Thomas develops his own fashion line "Taboo", involving himself and Brooke as main public promotional workers. Advised by his newly stepfather, Whip Jones to create attention on his line after thinking he is being outshine by Hope's line, Hope For The Future, Thomas invites Brooke up on stage and unexpectedly kisses her, upsetting Ridge and Taylor. The kiss causes a huge buzz, making Taboo one of Forrester Creation's most successful line since Brooke's "Bedroom Line." He claims that the kiss was to attract attention from the media and audience and that Brooke had nothing to do with it. Taylor however knowing Brooke's track record when it comes to Forrester men, doesn't believe it and thinks Brooke tricked him into kissing her. Though claiming that the kiss was just a business move and refusing to apologize to Ridge for kissing Brooke, Thomas begins developing an attraction towards Brooke. Taylor again accuses Brooke of trying to seduce Thomas because she can't help herself when it comes to men, though Brooke claims nothing is going on between her and her stepson. After a successful press conference in Paris, Thomas kisses Brooke while sleeping on the jet ride back home. Completely uncomfortable with it and believing it to be inappropriate, Brooke wanted to tell Ridge what Thomas did, but Thomas convinces her to keep it quiet as it will create an misunderstanding amongst the three of them. But Taylor overhears their conversation and tells Ridge, but again believing that Brooke came onto Thomas which was why he kissed her. Furious, Ridge decided to cut the Taboo Line, but Thomas interferes and he announces the line will continue on, causing Brooke to be put in the middle between Ridge and Thomas. However, because of the success of the line, Ridge decides to keep the line intact and also gives Thomas five percent of his own 25% ownership, infuriating Taylor.
Marooned with BrookeEdit
In 2011, while on their way to another press conference in Sydney, Thomas and Brooke's jet crashes in the Pacific Ocean during a major storm. Although still alive, they end up stranded on a deserted island near Fiji. The rest of the Forresters begin a wide search for them. While on the island, Brooke comes across some berries, but Thomas believes that they could be poisoned. Suffering from hunger, Brooke eats some of the berries and convinces Thomas to eat some as nothing is wrong with them. Later on, they begin feeling the effects of the berries as it causes them to have strange hallucinations and causes aphrodisiac. Ridge eventually finds and rescues Brooke and Thomas, but they begin feeling sick from the berries and wonder what had happened to them will drugged. Stephanie finds out about the strange berries when Taylor accidentally ate some when Thomas brought them back to have them tested and offers Thomas a deal he can't refuse: she will give him her entire 25% ownership to add to his 5%, making him the full owner of Forrester Creations, if he said that he and Brooke had sex on the island (knowing that Ridge would leave Brooke and go back to Taylor). Thomas at first refused to go along with it, but Stephanie convinces him more and more. When Brooke comes clean about her and Thomas eating those berries and completely unaware of what had happened while they were drugged, Thomas came in and tearfully confesses that he and Brooke slept with each other on the island. Ridge, having told Brooke that if the two ever crossed the line with each other would leave her, leaves Brooke and goes back to Taylor. Stephanie's newly friend and Thomas' new girlfriend, Dayzee Leigh, thinks something is wrong with Thomas, believing he's guilty of something else other than sleeping with his stepmother. Thomas comes clean to Dayzee about what happened on the island and admits that he didn't have sex with Brooke. Dayzee convinces Thomas that he should stand up to Stephanie and come clean to his parents before they go along with the wedding. Thomas finally tells off Stephanie and says he will expose the real truth. During the wedding however, Stephanie (feeling guilty and knowing it was eating Thomas alive) is the one who admits the truth about her and Thomas' deception. The family is completely stunned about the revelation, especially Ridge and Taylor. Taylor blames mostly Stephanie for manipulating Thomas into the deception and then tells Ridge that whichever decision he makes, she will fully support him. Ridge leaves and reunites with Brooke and tells her everything. Ridge and Brooke find it hard to forgive him for the lie. Dayzee dumps Thomas for not not telling the truth before Stephanie, leaving him heartbroken. Ridge not only cuts the Taboo Line, he also moves him down into the Forrester's Shipping Department as a somewhat punishment.
Romance with HopeEdit
Later on that year, Thomas began taking an interest in his adoptive step-sister, Hope. She had previously dated and was engaged to Bill Spencer's son, Liam Spencer, but broke it off when she caught him cheating with her rival and Thomas' sister, Steffy. Liam later married Steffy and Thomas began to flirt with Hope. Later on, Steffy and Thomas conspire with each other that to keep the two apart. Hope becomes attracted to Thomas, despite her still lingering feelings for Liam. After Christmas, Hope and Thomas go on vacation down in Cabo San Lucas, Mecixo. Little do they know is that Liam and Steffy are staying at the exact same resort by coincidence. Thomas and Steffy soon realize this and again conspire to make sure that Liam and Hope don't see each other. Steffy teams up with Bill to get an engagement ring for Thomas so he could propose to Hope. When Thomas proposes, Hope politely turns him down as she still had some feelings for Liam and it was too soon; Thomas, heartbroken, however understands and they continue their time in Mexico. Steffy then converts to Plan B: get Hope drunk so Thomas could seduce her. The plan works, but Liam eventually discovers Hope and Thomas there and goes after them, leaving Steffy feel defeated. Thomas sees Liam calling for Hope and encourages her to take a ride on the ATVs, but Hope eventually sees Liam. They share a kiss, but Thomas reminds Liam that he's married to Steffy, his sister. When they drive back, they find Steffy laying on the ground unconscious after her ATV crashed. While at the hospital, knowing that Liam was going to dump Steffy for Hope, Bill devises a plan to have the doctor convince Steffy, Liam, and everyone else that she has a blood clot in her brain and if she gets upset and becomes under stress, she could die. The doctor unwillingly goes along with it, and Liam decides to stay with Steffy. On the jet ride back home, Thomas admits to Hope that Steffy encouraged him to date Hope so Steffy could have a happy marriage with Liam. Hope dumps Thomas, leaving him hurt.
Romance with CarolineEdit
In 2012, Brooke made it her mission to get Rick's ex-wife, Amber, out of Forrester Creations and hires Karen Spencer's daughter, Caroline Spencer, to work with Rick on their new fashion line and too also get Rick's mind off of Amber. At the same time, however, Thomas suddenly takes an interest in Caroline, continuing the Forrester/Logan feud, this time with the sons. Thomas and Caroline eventually go out on a date and she introduces him to Karen and Karen's partner, Danielle, revealing that Caroline has two mothers. At first stunned and speechless, Thomas accepts and supports the three women's relationship, which Caroline appreciates and draws even closer to him. While Rick is still interested in Caroline, he tells his friend, Othello, to lie to his sister, Hope, that her soon-to-be husband, Liam, that he and his ex-wife, Steffy, were making out while partying at a nightclub, knowing that Hope would leave him. Rick then admits to Thomas that although they never see eye-to-eye on anything, Rick agreed that Thomas was the better man for Hope than Liam was. This causes Thomas to remember his deep feelings he had for Hope when they went to Cabo earlier that year. Rick begins taking advantage as Hope and Thomas' relationship begins stirring up trouble with his relationship with Caroline. Rick even instigates Caroline's jealousy towards Hope.
When Ridge left town after a break-up with Brooke, he names Thomas interim CEO of Forrester Creations, which infuriates Rick, believing he should be CEO because of his experience. During a heated altercation, Thomas shoves Rick out the window, horrifing Caroline that he would resort to physical violence and breaks up with Thomas and pursues Rick. As Rick began taunting Thomas that he got Caroline, Thomas ends up getting the last laugh when he uses his CEO position to work closely with Caroline and assigns Rick to work with Hope on her campaign. Soon, the position begins to go to Thomas' head and he begins to show off and throw his weight around, even telling Brooke that she is only a valued employee, not a Forrester. Wanting to attract the new and younger customers, Thomas decides to upgrade some new technology at Forrester, to which Rick is absolutely against the idea, but Caroline was impressed. During a moment, the two share a kiss, which is witnessed by Hope.
When Stephanie lost her battle from lung cancer, Thomas was ready to seize the opportunity to get her 25% shares to add to his 5%, which would make him the full owner. However, Stephanie left behind a video will in which she revealed that she found a loophole in the company's original Articles of Incorporation. The loophole allowed her to rename her husband, Eric, the CEO of Forrester Creations. Eric then offers a fashion showdown between Rick and Thomas and the winner will become president. During the showdown, Eric names Rick president, angering Thomas even more. Having enough of always losing to the Logans, Thomas decided to move to Paris, upsetting Taylor. She shows up at the Forrester mansion and accuses the late Stephanie of betraying her family. She then decides to get even with Brooke and her family by beginning a romance with Eric. Taylor uses this opportunity to make Brooke feel insecure and to also appoint Thomas the new vice president and telling an angry Rick to respect Thomas' ideas.
After the first-quarter numbers arrive during a meeting, it reveals that during Rick's time as president, sales plummeted due to his ideas. While Rick is working at Dayzee's and spending some time with new girl, Maya, Thomas uses Rick's absent to convince Eric to hear his progressive ideas again. During Thomas' presentation, however, Brooke interrupted by re-launching her once successful Brooke's Bedroom Line, thanks to major support from her brother-in-law, Bill. Eric decided to green-lit the Bedroom Line and once again turns down Thomas' ideas.
Thomas begin finding some comfort when he attended Steffy's unusual wedding to Liam at the Forrester Mansion. Later on, Caroline convinced him, Rick, Oliver, Carter, and Marcus to strut their moves on the runway, modeling bedroom couture for the men's line. The event was for Caroline's cancer foundation fundraiser, to which was an instant success. When Taylor moved in with Eric at the mansion, Thomas moved into the beach house in Santa Monica and offered a room for Oliver as well. Thomas offered his support when Steffy suffered a miscarriage after she got into a motorcycle accident.
Rick was in a business meeting with Eric, Thorne, Caroline, and Thomas where his contributions weren't high and Eric felt Forrester Creations could use a new president. They all made an agreement if Caroline's contributions for Hope For The Future don't work out Rick will be replaced. Thomas and Thorne teamed up to kick Rick out (partly because of Thomas and Rick's bad history) and have Thorne be president and Thomas vice president. Thomas explained Thorne is someone he can trust. Thorne and Thomas confronted this to Eric and Rick, Thomas, Thorne, Eric, and Caroline had another meeting. Caroline babbled something about Hope For The Future. But Thomas and Thorne contradicted that even though the sales are up they need a profit. Eric let Rick stay president until further evidence of Hope For The Future Sales. During the relaunch fashion show of HFTF with a slew of foreign buyers picked out by Rick, Thorne and Thomas were positive that Rick would lose his president seat as all the buyers had no kind of reaction towards the show. However, when the final results came out, all were stunned when Eric revealed that Forrester was being overwhelmingly flooded with orders, making the HFTF re-launch a major success. Due to a job well done, Rick is permanently kept as president, disappointing Thorne and Thomas as they didn't get the promotions they were hoping for. Thomas was said to have joined Ridge, Taylor and Steffy in Paris during fall 2013.
When Brooke, Hope, and Wyatt arrive in Paris at Forrester International for a HFTF campaign, Thomas greets them and then is intrigued by Wyatt's ideas of having Stephanie Forrester's jewelry collection to be tied into the new HFTF line and put on display. While Brooke, Hope, Thomas, and Thorne all agree it would be the best way to honor Stephanie's memory, however, Aly resents the idea.
Return to Los Angeles Edit
Thomas returned to Los Angeles in 2015 to attend the funeral service of his cousin Aly Forrester. After, Caroline Spencer says she's happy that Thomas could make it back, though he wishes he had been back sooner. It seems Aly and Thomas were close as Caroline states that when his sister Steffy came back to town, Aly had thought he would return too. Thomas tells Caroline he plans to stick around as his sister will probably need him.

Fifth rabid raccoon reported so far this year
The Durham County Sheriff's Office has confirmed a fifth case of rabies this year. None of the rabid animals – all raccoons – attacked anyone.
This fifth case was found in the 100 block of Bahama Road. Sheriff's Dep. Paul Sherwin said Saturday that a veterinarian came across a raccoon that looked sick and called the Durham County Sheriff's Animal Services Division.
The circumstances of each of the other rabies cases this year have been unique, he said, but all were raccoons that either looked ill or already were dead. Residents called to alert animal services that raccoons were in their yards.
"Typically, wild animals are skittish around people," Sherwin said. "These stay put, are unsteady on their feet and have the typical [mouth] foaming. They have an unhealthy appearance; unhealthy demeanor," he said.
Other rabid raccoons in the county this year were found in the 5300 block of Cheek Road, 600 block of Chalice Street, 2300 block of Alabama Avenue and 2300 block of Strawberry Lane. There were no confirmed rabies cases last year.
The Durham County Department of Public Health recommends that if you see a raccoon around your house, to assume it has rabies and stay away from it. Animal Services and Durham County Health Department officials are advising residents to make sure their pets' rabies vaccinations are updated. The Sheriff's Animal Services Division offers rabies vaccinations from 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 3005 Glenn Rd. in Durham. Vaccinations cost $15 cash. No appointments needed, but photo identification is required.
For information on vaccinations, call 919-560-0630. To report a possibly rabid animal, call the Durham County Sheriff's Office at 919-560-0900.

The whole application provides examples of how the wider network of parents, students, staff and community are all involved in ensuring a physical and emotional safe environment for students, staff and the wider community.
Murrays Bay School and Murrays Bay Intermediate School is the first whole school site to be designated as a Safe School. This accreditation is the result of several years of work to improve safety for students and staff.
Murrays Bay School and Murrays Bay Intermediate School submitted their application before the revision of Safe Schools and SSCIAP. Thus their application relects criteria of the time and their re-designation application will reflect the SSCIAP criteria.

Child rape alleged at Abu Ghraib
Seymour Hersh now claims that there is videotape of boys being sodomized at Abu Ghraib prison. (link via Atrios). "The worst is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking," Hersh said. Ed Cone has more details.
Meanwhile, the Iraqis are trying to change the prison's image, with new locks and new coats of paint:
So it would seem.
Meanwhile, the Iraqis are trying to change the prison's image, with new locks and new coats of paint:
So it would seem.
Apparently Bush would disagree:
"A new Iraq will also need a humane, well-supervised prison system. Under the dictator, prisons like Abu Ghraib were symbols of death and torture. That same prison became a symbol of disgraceful conduct by a few American troops who dishonored our country and disregarded our values. America will fund the construction of a modern, maximum security prison. When that prison is completed, detainees at Abu Ghraib will be relocated. Then, with the approval of the Iraqi government, we will demolish the Abu Ghraib prison, as a fitting symbol of Iraq's new beginning"
In his point of view, apparently, at least as of the end of May, its not the people running it at all. The building's haunted or something. There is a lot of talk about mass graves in and around the prison, you know. I saw poltergeist. I know what's going on here.
