The truth about Mervyn King
A new political cult forms.
A new political cult forms.
by Mehdi Hasan Published
"Who would have guessed in late 2007 or early 2008 that an answer to the banking crisis would be to hand more power to Mervyn King?" asks the Guardian's Nils Pratley. King has long been admired in Tory circles and so George Osborne's decision to give the Bank of England the linchpin role in regulating the UK's financial sector came as no real surprise.
I'm no fan of Merv. I think he long ago politicised and abused his position. Remember his public objection to the Labour government's fiscal stimulus? Remember his public approval for the coalition's deficit reduction plan?
He also has rather poor judgement. My colleague Professor David Blanchflower, a former external member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee and one of the few economists to see the crash coming, outlined King's failures in a devastating piece for the NS in September 2009 ("The story from the inside").
Blanchflower wrote:
So why did the committee get it so wrong? From my perspective, it was hobbled by "group think" -- or the "tyranny of the consensus". Governor Mervyn King, the old iron fist of the Bank of England, with his hawkish views on rates, dominated the MPC. Short shrift was given to alternative, dovish views such as mine. I focused on the empirical data suggesting Britain was heading for recession; Mervyn and the rest of the committee focused on their theoretical models and the (invisible) threat of inflation. In fact, the Bank of England may more suitably be called "the Bank of Economic Theory". Unfortunately, the economic theories failed just when we needed them most.
He added:
Clever as Mervyn King may be, he missed the crash and the subsequent recession, and hence, so did the consensual MPC on which I sat. In August 2008, the MPC's quarterly Inflation Report did not even contain the word "recession"; it saw the economy standing still over the next year. I very nearly quit the committee at that point. In an interview that month with Reuters, I called the forecast "wishful thinking". Mervyn called me into his office to admonish me for that one.
Blanchflower also criticised King's obsession with so-called moral hazard:
We were not told what was happening to British banks such as Northern Rock, Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds, Bradford & Bingley or Alliance & Leicester. Or to US banks such as Lehman Brothers or Bear Stearns. We weren't kept in the loop, but we should have been. With hindsight, Mervyn King's focus on moral hazard -- the idea that banks are encouraged to take more risks because they know they will be bailed out -- was a huge mistake.
He reminds us of King's unforgivable failure to foresee the explosion in unemployment:
In the summer of 2008, I warned the Commons Treasury select committee that "something horrible" was going to happen. I was becoming even more worried about recession, and in September I voted alone, as ever, for a cut of 50 basis points (bps) -- or 0.5 per cent -- to the Bank's base rate. At my September appearance before the select committee, King, who was sitting two seats from me at the time, was asked by the MP Andy Love: "On unemployment there have been some suggestions, and Mr Blanchflower has said -- and I think there are quite a lot of people out there who would agree with them -- that it may go up faster than the projections in the Inflation Report. Is that a worry to you?"King replied: "At least the Almighty has not vouchsafed to me the path of unemployment data over the next year. He may have done to Danny, but he has not done to me." To say the least, I was rather surprised.
Hail the King? I'd rather not.

Kubiak to coach Texans vs Raiders
HOUSTON (AP) - Texans coach Gary Kubiak is back after recovering from a mini-stroke, and he can't wait to coach his team on Sunday against Oakland.
"It just feels great to be back," he said. "You have a true appreciation for the opportunity that you have and the opportunity to be around the players ... and the chance to do my job again."
Kubiak, who returned to work on Monday, spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since collapsing on the field at halftime in Houston's loss to Indianapolis on Nov. 3.
He said doctors have limited his work this week, but that he will lead the team when the Texans try to break a franchise-record seven-game losing streak when they play the Raiders.
"I'm on kind of a different schedule- kind of hard to adjust to, but I'm adjusting to it," he said. "I'm listening to them."
The workaholic coach said he has learned through this ordeal he must take the advice of others- and slow down some.
"I've obviously got a lot of people telling me what I need to do," he said. "Some great people over at Methodist (Hospital) that I've been dealing with for the last week and a half, plus my wife is pretty rough to deal with right now."
Defensive end J.J. Watt said he thinks Kubiak's return will give the team a lift on Sunday.
"I'm happiest for him because I know that this is what he loves to do and this is his passion," Watt said. "So you're really happy that he can be out there and doing what he loves."
Quarterback Case Keenum said having Kubiak back at practice this week has been great for him.
"Trying to get back to normal," Keenum said. "So it's always good to have his input during practice. His leadership is, I think, huge for this team."
The 52-year-old Kubiak suffered a transient ischemic attack, or TIA, which occurs when blood flow to the brain is briefly interrupted, typically by a blood clot or narrowed blood vessels. TIAs are often called mini-strokes and can cause stroke-like symptoms including sudden dizziness or unconsciousness. Experts say they are often a warning sign for a future stroke, particularly within three months of a TIA.
When asked to recall what happened when he collapsed, Kubiak said the details were fuzzy.
"I really don't remember a whole lot," he said. "I remember right before the half not feeling very good, had a headache. That's about the last thing I remember. From there I was over at the hospital talking to some different people."
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips coached the Texans in Sunday's loss at Arizona with Kubiak out. He said not being with the team was painful.
"I wasn't able to watch the whole thing," Kubiak said. "I watched parts of it. Very tough. I hurt with them. It was just hard to watch. It's hard to sit there and watch a football game when you've been there the whole time for the last 30 years."
He declined to discuss specifics of his ongoing medical care, but did reflect a bit when asked if he learned anything from this experience.
"I wasn't doing anything different than I've always done," he said. "I guess it just makes you stop and think a little bit. I've been through a lot of good times in this league, I'm going through a hard time right now, but it's nice to go through any time and to be doing what you love to do."
NOTES: Houston RB Arian Foster, who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, will have back surgery in California on Thursday. ... The Texans signed safety Jawanza Starling and linebacker D.J. Smith to take Foster and Ed Reed's spots on the roster.

Barnett doesn't look like the stereotype body-shape for a PED abuser.
As an aside, you've thought I was a thicko for years now, in fact, I'd be a little uncomfortable if you changed that (short of a beer [no cupcheck] in person were I to visit my sis, and the kids).
What Overeem said about timing is reasonable. Is it not possible that this is Zuffa being hardasses, and doing what they've often done....**** on fighters that won't follow the corporate will? Reem didn't sign w/ Zuffa, and was bought up in the SF deal.
This looks to me, like some corporate overlords, showing the star who they think is really boss. I'm sure they also resent Overeem competing in other promotions. It's not what they'll be encouraging/allowing very much, if at all, moving forward.

I'm sure most of the top-level pro-fighters juice. If you train full time you're going to wear your body down and steroids help your recovery time. It's not just the huge musclebound oxes who use them.
Besides his fighting, I like Overeem for the simple fact he comes across as pretty intelligent in interviews as opposed to 90% of the other fighters who have absolutely nothing to say.

This is the first major suckage of the post-zuffa-buyout SF, IMO. Taking ammy fights off the undercards was reasonable. Yanking the favorite from the tourney, reeks.
The only thing, that would redeem this move, would be if this can somehow clear the way to sooner hold a UFC/SF unification match at HW. That would cheer me up a bit.
So if Reem was axed for his last fight's performance, we'd have to assume Werdum would be gone too. He stank it up, bigtime.
Let's hope there's a cupcheck battle somewhere in the back-story.
Was it because Dana was at the adjacent urinal to 'reem, and didn't like feeling emasculated because he's a shrimp dic*ed boxercizer?????
What effect do you lot think this will have on other fighters (possibly avoiding zuffa, just to have some job security, or alternately not daring to say a bad word, or take a stand on anything).

With a personality unequaled in the gay world and the abs to match, Tommy brings you style and substance in a hot package. Tommy D is the All-American boy.
Tucker Vaughn has appeared on our other sites in the recent past, but Tommy was the first to get this stud in front of the camera, and finally you get to see Tucker's first ever scene filmed with NextDoorStudios, and what a lucky guy Tommy is...
The scene starts off with Tucker showing off to a TommyD that's sitting on the sofa. As the stud gets naked, Tommy cock starts to get hard. It doesn't take long before Tommy grabs his new buddy and puts his cock into her warm, wet mouth. From there, it only gets better. Tommy gives Tucker a thorough pounding and eventually unloads his balls all over his buddies face.
Pixels: 320X240 | Bitrate: 350K
Pixels: 640X480 | Bitrate: 700K
This is one of Tommy's better videos because for a change he services the stud and seems to relish licking and sucking the guy's hard dick. I am somewhat put-off by the video's description above that says Tommy "puts his cock in her warm mouth", which seems to imply Tommy is a female. But Tommy has a cock and balls and a stiff erection -- so this can't be true unless Tommy underwent a sex change, which also can't seem true. Anyway, it is a pretty good video of Tommy putting the stud's cock into his mouth and sucking on it.

The Honors Program Admissions Committee will give priority consideration to applicants based on academic excellence.
Lower Division applicants are generally graduating high school seniors. The Admission criteria to the Lower Division for the 2013-2014 academic year is:
Students are expected to complete a college preparatory curriculum in high school. High schools vary in the advanced courses they offer. Honors applicants are expected to complete the most rigorous curriculum available at their high school. Applicants who participate in the Post-Secondary Educational Opportunity Program are expected to have completed the standard high school college preparatory curriculum in addition to their college work.
Preferred applicants will have 4 years of high school English, 4 years of high school mathematics including pre-calculus and in some cases calculus, at least three years of natural science (usually biology, physics and chemistry), at least three years of social science courses, three or more years of a foreign language, with additional classes in the visual or performing arts. There will be students admitted who have not met all of these criteria; however, it should be noted that a student without high school physics, for example, is generally not prepared for a college level course in the subject. Preference in admission to the Honors Program will be given to students whose high school transcript indicates they are prepared for a wide variety of possible college majors.
Upper Division applicants must apply during their sophomore year in college and will be admitted to Cleveland State for their junior year of college. The admission criteria to the Upper Division for the 2013-2014 academic year is:
Preferred applicants will be on track to graduate in two years (for those whose major is in a four year program). College transcripts will reflect a rigorous course of study both in the students preferred major and in his or her choices for general education and elective courses. Students should have made good progress toward completion of general education course requirements and lower division prerequisites for courses in the major.
The Honors Program is both a scholarship program and an academic program. Students who are not prepared to complete the academic requirements for Honors in their major are not eligible to participate in the Program or to receive an Honors Scholarship. The upper division honors program typically requires three to four semesters to complete. To complete the admission process, successful applicants must work with their designated honors faculty advisor to complete an academic plan that will result in their graduation in their chosen major with honors.
If an eligible student applies to Honors Program as a rising junior and is NOT awarded an Honors scholarship, the admissions committee can decide to invite the student to participate in Honors without scholarship support. Such a student would receive University honors distinction on their final diploma. To receive honors distinction without scholarship, the student must meet the following criteria:

Pessimists Will Have to Wait, as Housing Boom Rolls On
Stephen Thode, associate professor finance and law and director of the Goodman Center for Real Estate Studies at Lehigh, was quoted in an article about the housing boom. Experts note that over the past five years there's been a pretty substantial run-up in housing prices. "That can't sustain itself for any period of time. We learned that lesson in the '70s," says Thode. "I'm not predicting any collapse in the real estate market, but what goes on in the next six to nine months may not be sustainable for the next three to five years." Indeed, he says, barring any unexpected jolts in the economy, don't expect any signs of a major change in the housing market until the cherry blossoms bloom next spring.

Sally Handlon, program director for business education at Lehigh University's Small Business Development Center, was quoted in an article about how successful companies acknowledge the demands and responsibilities of family life and, when possible, adapt schedules and policies to accommodate those realities. "The small business owner needs to understand the demands of the employees and really try to coordinate if there is child care, if there is eldercare, or if there's a need to take some time off for a period of time," says Handlon. "They have really got to work with the employee. And the employees need to work with the business owner so the business owner can help."

After leaving the Dunes, my head still full of endless drifts of sand and the sound of waves pounding relentlessly, I yearned for a place with more plant life to explore. Less than a mile away, I found the perfect spot: Pismo Beach State Park, Oceano Campground, home to a nature center with an Interpretive Native Plant Walk as mentioned in my last post. Here I was able to walk on garden paths that wound their way through plantings of natives from all over San Luis Obispo County.
Whenever I travel to a new place, I like to look at the plants that grow there and imagine: What would I plant if I had a garden here? In this case, what I would plant in my Central Coast garden would be determined by the ecosystem my garden was in. There are five different ecosystems in this Central Coast area: Bare Dunes, Woody Scrub of Chaparral, Coastal Soft Scrub, Riparian, & Woodland. The walk-through garden area contained specimens from each of these regions. The garden volunteers here made sure to separate the plants into regions, and to label them… very helpful to the travelling native gardener. At the entrance is a map displaying the gardens with a list of the plants that can be found throughout the park. Benches are placed such that you can sit and enjoy the bees, butterflies & blooms .. or watch the ducks in the Lagoon.
The Oceano campground is unique in that not only is it adjacent to the Dunes on the west, but a freshwater lagoon runs through it on its east end, as well.
The Riparian Ecosystem includes plants growing close to water such as the Arroyo Willow bushes. Follow the one mile Guiton Trail around the lagoon. Here ducks can be found and many other birds that overwinter here. The Guiton Trail is a pleasant walk through a willow woodland which local birders know as a great place to find migrating warblers in the fall, as well as many year round resident species.
The Dune Ecosystem: A walk along the lovely Grand Dune Trail in the park's Dune Interpretive Garden will give native gardeners a chance to see some of these plants in their native setting. Shorebirds also can be observed as they come to forage along the beaches during the winter. One of them is the snowy plover, which nests along the shores here where they are protected.
Coastal Scrub and Chaparral Ecosystems: Many of the plants I photographed were in these two ecosystems. Here are some of the photos:
The Pismo Beach State Park, Oceano is also close to the Monarch Grove, where many West Coast Monarchs overwinter. I was lucky to photograph some of the monarchs right from my campsite. Here they are enjoying the pink flowers of (a non-native) Wild Radish. Instantly, I knew what I would HAVE to plant if I lived near this place: I would plant nectar-rich plants for the overwintering Monarchs! Even though the tall groves of Eucalyptus trees provide good protection in the winter, food is still scarce as habitat dwindles. Some suggestions I got from a local native plant nursery for butterfly gardens were: Asclepias fascicularis, Erigon glaucus, Erigon foliosus blochmasihe, Aster chilensis, and Coast Goldenrod, Solidago Confinis.
Resources for Central Coast Native Gardeners:
Cal Native Plant Society of San Luis Obispo – cnps-slo.org/– Good source of information for the Central Coast Native Gardener. Lots of activities and a chance to meet other native gardeners!Resources for the Central Coast native gardener incl:
San Louis Obispo Botanical Gardens – www.slobg.org/ Devoted to the display and study of the plants and ecosystems of the world's five Mediterranean climate zones. Natives can be viewed in the preview garden for free every day. Natives are sold on Saturday Garden Days. 3450 Dairy Creek Road San Luis Obispo, CA 93405 (805) 541-1400

Schools, community strengthen bonds through Read to Me Day
HUNTINGTON -- Ever since Peyton Elementary School invited more than 100 community volunteers to participate in West Virginia's Read to Me Day, there has been no getting rid of them, said Lou Booth, a Parent Partner for the school.
"One woman volunteered to read last year, and now her church is making Thanksgiving dinner for the students," Booth said. "Peyton's school-to-community relationship is really a tight one, and it is so important that there are people who are willing to take that time to come here and read to them."
Schools throughout Cabell and Wayne counties participated in the statewide reading event, which is the product of a partnership between the West Virginia Department of Education and other state organizations.
Read to Me Day is the third Thursday of each November, and it annually corresponds with American Education Week, which takes place the week before Thanksgiving.
The day is an opportunity for educators and community members to engage students in reading, and each school puts its own twist on the event.
Students and teachers at Peyton dressed up as their favorite storybook characters, and each student had the opportunity to pick his or her favorite book and have it read to them by one of the volunteers, which included parents, community volunteers, business leaders, Cabell County School Board employees and Marshall University athletes, Booth said.
"Reading is so important because it takes kids to places they could never go to before," Booth said. "When they get that one-on-one attention, that just makes all of the difference for some of these kids."
Students at Central City Elementary took a different spin on the day by using it to host a day-long Read-A-Thon event to raise more than $300 for the Huntington City Mission's Thanksgiving dinner.
Fourth-grade teacher Brianne Seplocha said she was looking for a way to incorporate a community project into her classroom as part of the new Common Core teaching standards, and she said it was the students who decided what their project would be and how they would execute it.
"It makes me happy to see that they are taking this on themselves," Seplocha said. "There isn't one person telling them how to do it, how to feel about it or what they should think. They are doing this on their own."
Students at Altizer Elementary School turned the day into a storybook character theme day, and the Village of Barboursville Elementary School participated in the event with team spirit day.
In Wayne County, Appalachian Electric Power employees and community volunteers visited Ceredo, Prichard, Genoa and Kenova elementary schools to read to students during the event.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2005 A soldier assigned to the 43rd Military Police Brigade was killed in action by an improvised explosive device in the vicinity of Baqubah, Iraq, Nov. 3, military officials reported.
Elsewhere, a 1st Corps Support Command soldier died as a result of non-battle related causes Nov. 3 at about 11:15 p.m. near Tallil.
Officials released no further details on these incidents. The names of the soldiers are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
In other developments, two terrorists attempting to build a car bomb were killed when the device prematurely detonated in central Baghdad Nov. 2. The explosion also killed an Iraqi civilian and set a nearby house on fire. Iraqi firefighters responded to douse the flames.
Elements of Task Force Baghdad dispatched included an explosives ordnance disposal team and a patrol from 6th Squadron, 8th Calvary Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team.
The EOD team determined the terrorists had been building the vehicle-carried IED using a 122 mm projectile, ball bearings and about 80 pounds of homemade explosives. During a sweep of the house, the soldiers found another 122 mm projectile, five hand grenades, three AK-47 assault rifles, an RPK machine gun, and AK-47 magazines.
In other operations, Iraqi army troops and coalition forces engaged terrorists and seized a cache during a firefight Nov. 2 northeast of Ramadi.
Troops from the 1st Battalion, 1st Brigade, 7th Iraqi Army Division, and coalition forces engaged a group of 15 terrorists armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled-grenade launchers when their patrol was attacked. Troops killed several terrorists during the engagement.
A vehicle loaded with a cache of ordnance was discovered in the vicinity of the initial attack. An inventory produced one machine gun, two automatic rifles, two RPG launchers, more than 1,200 rounds of various small arms ammunition, 10 propellant sticks, two license plates, three Iraqi army uniforms, and some documents. The contraband was turned over to authorities for further processing.
In Baghdad, Task Force Baghdad soldiers caught several terrorists in the act of carrying out attacks Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. During combat operations, cordons, searches and raids in various districts of the city, U.S. soldiers detained numerous terrorists and confiscated several weapons caches.
On Nov. 2, soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, detained four individuals at a checkpoint in southern Baghdad after discovering the suspects were carrying fake identification cards. Upon further investigation, the soldiers learned the vehicle was believed to have been involved in a previous mortar attack. Another vehicle was searched due to suspicious activity on the part of the driver; he was also detained. All five terror suspects were turned over to Iraqi security forces.
Another Task Force Baghdad unit on patrol in northeastern Baghdad Nov. 1 discovered a weapons cache after receiving a tip from a local resident. Inside a shed, the soldiers, from 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, found an RPG launcher, a PKC machine gun, several hundred rounds of ammunition, and several hundred Iraqi and U.S. Army uniforms.
One unit operating in the Abu Ghraib district in western Baghdad reported engaging in small-arms fire with a group of terrorists Oct. 31. When the gunfire subsided, the soldiers, from 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, along with Task Force Baghdad aviation assets, searched a palm grove for enemy forces and found four terror suspects, one of whom was wounded.
The soldiers also confiscated a number of weapons, including a 9 mm pistol and a 9 mm "grease gun," along with magazines. Continuing to search the area, the troops detained another three individuals who tried to flee.
The injured terrorist was taken to a nearby medical treatment facility where he later died of his wounds.
In other Iraq news, coalition forces identified five al Qaeda leaders killed by an air strike in Husaybah Oct. 29.
Coalition forces conducted a series of raids on suspected terrorist and foreign fighter safe houses to capture or kill terrorists operating in the town of Husaybah. During the raids, coalition forces destroyed three safe houses with air strikes using precision-guided munitions. One of the safe houses destroyed was the location of an apparent meeting between al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist leaders from the Husaybah and Qaim areas, officials said.
Coalition forces now confirm the deaths of five key al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist leaders who were killed in that meeting. They are:

Penn State University
The College of Health and Human Development
Human Development and Family Studies
Professor of Human Development and Family Studies
209 Health and Human Development BuildingPennsylvania State UniversityUniversity Park PA 16802
I am a Professor in the department of Human Development and Family Studies with an affiliation with the Prevention Research Center. I received my PhD in Developmental Psychology and Statistical Methodology from the University of Southern California in 1996. I then spent 8 years in Washington, DC at the National Institutes of Health before going to Cincinnati Children's Hospital where I spent 10 years as a Professor of Pediatrics. My primary research foci are (1) the bio-psycho-social consequences of childhood sexual abuse, (2) pathways to teen pregnancy and high-risk sexual behaviors for abused and neglected youth, (3) the long-term adverse health outcomes for victims of sexual abuse, including HPA dysregulation, cognitive deficits, various cancers, immunodeficiencies, healthcare utilization, diabetes and obesity, and (4) the propensity for abused and neglected teens to engage in high-risk internet and social media behaviors.
For most of the past 17 years I have had the distinct fortune to work directly with Frank Putnam, MD and Penelope Trickett, PhD on their ground-breaking longitudinal study of the long-term sequelae of sexual abuse and have been a PI for the past 10 years. Recently, we received an R01 to continue to assess this cohort (and their offspring) for the 7th and 8th waves which will constitute the 27 and 30 year follow-ups of the sample that was initially assessed at mean age 10. The three main aims of the grant will be the assessment of physical health outcomes, intergenerational transmission of the effects of sexual abuse, and the identification of mechanisms of resilience.
I have recently completed an R01 longitudinal study of 514 nulliparous adolescent females (65% abused or neglected) followed prospectively through adolescence starting at age 14 and assessed annually through age 19. This study was aimed at articulating the psychosexual sequelae of childhood abuse and the mechanisms involved in HIV-risk behaviors and teen pregnancy/motherhood. In January 2013 our first longitudinal paper was published in Pediatrics presenting unprecedented prospective data showing that maltreated females were five times more likely to experience teenage childbirth than the national average. Further analyses are underway to elucidate pre-pregnancy predictors and developmental mechanisms of the timing and occurrence of teen pregnancy/motherhood for maltreated females.
I am also the PI on an R01 where we are objectively tracking the internet and social media behaviors of 450 sexually abused and comparison teens. This grant marks a relatively new area of research, not just for myself but within the field of child maltreatment and developmental psychopathology, because it has a particular focus on internet-initiated victimization (including sexual exploitation, pornography exposure, cyber bullying, "slut-shaming" and offline encounters) and the impact of electronic media and mobile device usage on teen development in general. This will also be the first study to objectively monitor internet activity and social media behaviors—and essential next step in internet safety research, a field that has thus far solely relied on adolescent self-reports. To do this, I have partnered with talented bioinformatics faculty members to develop software and social networking apps that record and quantify adolescents' "internet and social media footprints" and which are installed on specially engineered laptops and mobile devices that participants will use during the course of the 5 year study.
I have recently been concerned with impacting how the public sector, healthcare providers, insurance companies and policy makers invest in child abuse treatment and prevention. In anticipation that a large proportion of maltreated children will soon become Medicaid-eligible as made possible by the Affordable Healthcare Act, and in acknowledgment that abuse victims are high healthcare utilizers, it is becoming indisputable that the healthcare burden attributable to these high utilizers will have an unsustainable impact of state-run Medicaid programs. I have recently partnered with public health economists and bioinformatricians to begin to answer the call for scientific leverage that will impact policy regarding a mandate for the treatment of childhood maltreatment as a primary prevention strategy.
Aside from my NIH research activities, I have a leadership role in PSU's Network on Child Protection and Wellbeing. I view the Network as an unprecedented opportunity to identify, facilitate and coordinate multidisciplinary child maltreatment research that will significantly advance knowledge and move the field forward in ways that will maximize the health and well-being of victims and their families. The Network provides resources and infrastructure that will incentivize and aid talented basic and translational research faculty to conduct impactful research on the causes, treatments, sequelae and impact of child abuse and neglect. Network strategic efforts address important gaps in the field and will connect the dots between child maltreatment and a myriad of deleterious outcomes. The ultimate goal is to orient providers and policy makers toward recognizing the prevention and treatment of child maltreatment as worthy of significant public health investment.

Artichoke 101(Video)
Yet another video that was shot last year when I was still pregnant with Jachs. What can I say, we got a little ambitious in front of the camera but lost our footing a bit with the editing… BUT why waste our time chatting about the past when here we are one year later with a finished product, right?!
I adore artichokes, and get so excited when I start them begin to pop up all around the farmers markets, but I know for many that artichokes can be rather intimidating to work with, so…
I wanted to be sure to arm you guys with all the basic essentials you need to know to work with these delicious veggies before the season passes you by!

I love this video!!! Super informative!! Thank you so much!! I've always wanted to learn how to cook an artichoke!! I hope you make another video making a few great dips/dressing to eat with this
Thank you Dani for your wonderful vidoes! I never bought some of the veggies I love to eat because I didn't know what to do with them. I now can enjoy my veggies with your help. I really do appreciate your time for the videos. Love the step by steps. Thank you again.
Super helpful, you're so cute!!!
I love artichokes and your videos, thank you Dani.
Artichoke leafes and hearts dipped in melded and salted butter are
my favorite for ages.
Dani go on, you're great, my best wishes from good old Germany. (o:
Love artichokes with melted butter also… especially drawn butter….
Love ALL your videos Dani… have shared your request for You Tube votes with all my email friends and groups and all my friends on facebook. Good Luck !
Tried this tonight, first time ever trying artichoke. Both hubby and I did not appreciate it at all, however the smell was kind of nice. It won't be something to add to our "have ever again" list. LOL
Thanks for the video. I wouldn't know how to cook without your 101 vids.

Stoke City: I will give my best to the very end, vows Asmir Begovic
Posted: March 18, 2014|
ASMIR Begovic has assured Stoke fans there is no chance of the World Cup finals or on-going transfer speculation distracting him over the remaining eight games of the season.
And he says Andy Carroll's header for West Ham's goal on Saturday was proof he won't duck out of challenges for fear of injury.
"I can't deny that pretty much every day I get reminded of the World Cup," said the Bosnian.
"But, first and foremost, my job is here and I will give my best right up until the end of the season.

Stoke City announce kit deal with Warrior
Stoke City's Asmir Begovic has competition for number one spot – from a nine-year-old Kidsgrove schoolboy
"I won't save myself for anything, it's just not the right way to play the game. People pay us, so my commitment is to Stoke City.
"As for the goal on Saturday, I went for it and unfortunately missed it, but I won't pull out of any challenges. That's just not my game, not what I do at all."
Begovic treats the transfer speculation, including last week's eye-opening link to Real Madrid, with a mixture of detachment and amusement.
"It used to affect me when I was new," he laughed, "but now I know it's just part of the game.
"People are going to talk. I'm just glad, happy and flattered it's in a positive way.
"I do have my own goals, drives and ambitions, but the important thing is to keep doing my job."
Begovic firmly believes the current Stoke team is on the up and in with a genuine shot of a first-ever finish in the top half of the Premier League in their sixth campaign.
Saturday's 3-1 win over West Ham leaves them joint 10th alongside next Sunday's opponents Aston Villa.
"The team is definitely good enough," Begovic asserted.
"There was always going to be a development under the new manager that would take time, but now we are being more consistent.
"As the manager has said from the start of the season, we should be looking up and not down.
"To finish the season by cracking the top 10 for the first time would be a tremendous achievement and one we should definitely be aiming for."
Meanwhile, Erik Pieters should be in the running to retain his place at left-back at Aston Villa this Sunday after revealing he does not need a second scan on an injured ankle.
Pieters limped off in the early stages of Saturday's win over West Ham, but now says he only needs rest and recuperation to recover.

Beets and Beet Juice
Aside from wearing gloves, does anyone have a good way to not get beet juice all over your hands when working with them? And if you get the beet juice on them, what's a good way for removing the stain?
I'm the operator of a set of fingers with a slight purple tinge and I have a load of white laundry I really don't want to have purple spots on. And I'm out of gloves right now. . .

Some of the Coastal Bend's most productive seagrass flats give reason to smile
ROCKPORT - I favor any style of legal fishing that produces smiles, though I may not regularly practice them all.
I'm not talking about a sheepish or embarrassed grin while expressing polite gratitude for a fishless day on the water. All graciousness aside, that's like claiming it's nice to be nominated even if you didn't win.
Your words might come close to sincerity, but not necessarily your expression.
I'm talking about cheek-stretching grins that expose pearly whites without embarrassment or self-conscious restraint. The kind of joyful, photo-demanding grins that children cannot wipe off their sun-reddened faces. The kind of moustache-framed smiles that radiated from the rodeo-worn face of Herman W. Brune during and after catching a big redfish this past week.
Brune is a bowlegged Columbus cowboy, bronc rider, mule packer, wilderness hunting guide, wild pig sticker, rancher, country philosopher and bard, seeker of truth, book author, radio host, magazine columnist and genuine Texas character. He's the self-proclaimed Lost Rider of Yaupon Creek, which comes from the title of one of his books.
By reputation, Brune is probably more comfortable with one hand gripping the hind hoof of a wild boar while the other fist clenches the finely honed nine-inch Cold Steel blade of a Bowie knife than he is twirling the crank on a spinning reel at the end of an arched fishing rod.
But boy-howdy does he enjoy fishing when he can. I could tell by his smile.
Unlike some anglers who boast a high angling IQ, Brune's measure of enjoyment is purely emotional. He probably wouldn't know a G. Loomis from an Ugly Stick or a Von Staal from a Zebco. And I'm fairly certain he wouldn't care if you told him.
On the issue of bait, Brune, like many anglers, is not interested in whether his hook is baited with a dead shad or a live shrimp, or his line is tipped with a topwater plug or a gold spoon. Whatever works is his philosophy and his preference.
It's refreshing to see this from time to time, if not often. But I rarely do.
Maybe it was time I stepped in some humble pie for perspective. Something to offset the jaded personalities of anglers who too often treat fishing as combat or fish as something to be conquered. Somewhere in Herman Brune's upbringing they forgot to tell him it's not macho or dignified to smile.
That sad lesson also was lost on me.
But I need a reminder from someone as unbridled as Brune.
It happened on Raymond Appel's boat this past week in Rockport. As often is the case the wind forecast did not resemble reality on the bay. And the tide had dropped considerably since the previous time Appel had caught scores of redfish on some of the Coastal Bend's most productive seagrass flats.
These waters offer easy fishing more often than not for novices and experienced anglers alike. Check any map of the bays (the best one is made locally; www.texmaps.com) between the Redfish Bay Causeway (Aransas Channel, aka Shrimpboat Channel) and Rockport and you'll see place names such as California Hole, Bunns Hole, South Bay, Traylor Island and Estes Flats
This area represents about half of the 32,000-acre Redfish Bay State Scientific Area, where it is unlawful to gouge a trench into seagrass meadows with an outboard propeller, while allowing motorboats (with motors running) to navigate freely above the vegetation. The maximum fine for violating this rule is $500.
The trick is knowing how to read water depths and understanding how far below the surface a propeller extends. This area has plenty of places deep enough to run a boat, acres of shallow seagrass for drift fishing, wading, push poling or using an electric trolling motor, and certainly plenty of sandy or deeper spots for getting a boat up on plane with an outboard.
You should be pleased to know that seagrass scarring has diminished by 45 percent since the law went into effect. This is impressive for a popular fishing area with about a dozen boat ramps.
It put a smile on my face.
And despite difficult conditions — typical springtime in the Coastal Bend — we managed to put fish in the boat, using a method I do not visit often. And old timer once told me the best fisherman on the boat is the rod holder.
I still disagree, but I will admit the fight is the same between the waiting. No matter what anybody says, still-fishing is still fishing.

Coarsely grind coriander seeds in a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Place onion in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Drain, then let dry on paper towels in refrigerator.
Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small saucepan until hot. Add pumpkin seeds, and cook, swirling pan constantly, until plumped and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. (Pumpkin seeds can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
Heat a large nonstick saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Brush both sides of bread slices with 1 teaspoon oil total. Toast bread in skillet until brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Whisk together lime zest and juice with remaining teaspoon oil. Add onion, carrot, basil, half the coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss well. Top each slice of bread with half the avocado, and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining coriander. Top with salad and pumpkin seeds.
Slicing Safely
When shaving with a mandoline, the trick is to use the protective guard at the right time. As the piece of produce gets smaller and your fingers draw nearer the blade, firmly press the teeth of the guard into the vegetable, making sure it's secure. Keep a good grip on the mandoline at all times.

Longing for a hug? "Like-A-Hug" jacket senses when a Facebook friend "likes" your picture. It will reward the wearer by filling with air to mimic a "hugging" sensation.
Why does the world need this artificial snuggle-shell? Explains one of its creators, Melissa Chow:
Like-A-Hug is a wearable social media vest that allows for hugs to be given via Facebook, bringing us closer despite physical distance. The vest inflates when friends 'Like' a photo, video, or status update on the wearer's wall, thereby allowing us to feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs. Hugs can also be sent back to the original sender by squeezing the vest and deflating it.
The large blue or black vest is an internet-enabled vest automatically inflates upon receipt of a Like message, gently squeezing you to remind you that somewhere in the world, someone out there likes you. Having felt the warm embrace of the Facebook Like, you can pull out your smartphone from one of the jacket's pockets, and find out who has just 'hugged' you.
Some find that this is a silly design while some find it to fill the world with warmth. What do you think?

It returns to the original place when going around the circle. At present, it uses the unit, the hertz (Hz), to show the frequency. It was using the word, the cycle per second, before as the unit which shows the frequency. This shows the 1-second number of rotations.(The once is the 1 cycle) The many turns occur in the high frequency.
With a conventional tone burst generator, a considerable number of harmonics are generated. These extend to sub-audible frequencies, and excite resonances that have nothing to do with the actual test frequency. By gradually increasing the amplitude of each cycle of the test waveform, then decreasing it again using a cosine waveform envelope, these unwanted harmonics are minimised.
with Crystal Accuracy
A circuit generates three-phase sine waves with excellent amplitude and phase symmetry. A variable-frequency, three-phase, sine-wave generator circuit has been designed for use as a source of polyphase excitation in studies of the propagation of traveling
which outputs the Sine wave and the Cosine wave at the same time using the operational amplifier.
The Wien bridge sine wave oscillator to introduce is the oscillator which works in the oscillation by returning(positive feedback) the oscillation output to the input.

The Trillion Dollar Coin
Huge vending machine needed–Jack Lew, the man with the slinky signature, stands ready to insert.
US President Barack Obama has announced his intention of nominating Jack Lew as Treasury Secretary. Lew's signature has been described as looking like a slinky, and will look interesting if it appears on currency, as all Treasury Secretary's signatures do. House republican leadership is worried about this leading up to the expected fight about raising the US debt limit, especially since the President and Lew have expressed no intention of negotiating about it. Apparently they think it will go through no matter what the House says, does, or does not. Related to this is the report of a plan which has been called a "gimmick," that being, the trillion dollar coin. Perhaps the White House has a gigantic vending machine in the Oval Office that can use it to raise the debt ceiling no matter what the House does or does not. Right now, the president is holding off on speculations that he plans to mint the coin, which economists say can in fact be done.

Hello, I'm running into an interesting issue and of course it only seems to be evident in all versions of IE. I can't determine if it's a PHP issue or JS, so I figured I would start here. Forgive me in advance if this is posted in the wrong forum.
If you look at the following two pages within IE, you will notice that link #1, has an image with a description that appears in the lower left when you mouse over it. That one works just fine in IE. Link #2, as you will see does not have a description tied to it, and as a result, IE is throwing the following error. 'this[…].style' is null or not an object. I can't figure out what is causing this.
#1 http://www.jonathanfeanphotography.com/ … php?id=216
#2 http://www.jonathanfeanphotography.com/ … php?id=446
Here is the code block that displays the description in the lower left of the picture. Pretty straight forward, I have a column in my table called description and if it's not null, then I display the description block and if it is null, I simply want to display nothing, i.e. a paragraph with a space in it.
} else if ($row_Recordset1['description'] == null) {
echo "
Additional Information
You will notice that I am using the jQuery accordion function, so I think it should be pretty cut and dry, but obviously, I've done something wrong.
Thanks for your time and I hope someone can help me out.
Take care!
hm could be:
you don't have quotations on that line, either that it is a problem with the accordion definition list, i'm guessign you are using a javascript library such as jQuery ?
Have you tested your plain html without php ?
Start there and validate it to eliminate any markup errors
Hi Mat, thanks for the suggestion, when I add quotes to that block of code
, the page no longer works, http://www.jonathanfeanphotography.com/ … php?id=446. So I don't think that particular line needs quotes.
Also, I have tested with only using HTML and I get the same results, http://www.jonathanfeanphotography.com/ … php?id=446.
Lastly, yes I am using jQuery and it's accordion function.
Thanks again.

American Forces Press Service
CAMP LIBERTY, Baghdad, Feb. 9, 2005 During their first rotation in Iraq, the soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division here had difficulty staying in touch with loved ones back home.
These days, numerous methods of communication are in place to help them let their families know they're doing fine.
Internet access, long distance phone lines, and video teleconferencing are just a few ways a soldier deployed in Iraq can stay in touch with people back home.
"When I first arrived here, I didn't know what to expect," said Capt. Elzie Mitchell, Headquarters Support Company, Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division. "I suspected a few AT&T phone centers, but not decent Internet or video teleconferencing to be available in Iraq."
The new facilities and areas set up in the many forward operating bases throughout Iraq now come with AT&T phone centers and Internet cafes, making loved ones just a dial tone or the click of a button away.
"Being able to contact your family is a great thing to have when you have a long deployment ahead of you," Mitchell said. "Just sending your family an e- mail or a phone call to let them know you're alright and alive makes them feel good and helps make the stay not so bad here," he said.
A relatively new tool communication tool, the VTC had been available for a few 3rd ID soldiers. Now it will be more available for use by those in the various forward operating bases in Baghdad after 1st Cavalry Division redeploys.
"It's a pretty good tool to allow soldiers to see and hear their loved ones over a large monitor from the States," said Chief Warrant Officer Eugene Gardner, Headquarters Company, 1st Cavalry Division.
"It [the VTC] has been used for soldiers who've had kids born while they've been deployed as well as graduations and promotions," Gardner said. "If there is an available time slot, soldiers can be scheduled anytime, day or night, as long as they give at least a 48-hour notice."
For the soldiers of the Marne Division, the availability of phone lines and Internet since their last deployment have changed immensely.
"The Internet access has grown considerably since the first rotation," said Sgt. Ronald Coleman of the division's Headquarters Support Company, Special Troops Battalion. "It's not real fast like back home, but it's far better than what we had.
"It makes life easier for the soldiers in Iraq and does wonders for morale," he said.
"During the first deployment, you sometimes waited an hour in a huge line to get on a phone for just a few minutes," Coleman said. "Now there are more phone centers and Internet cafes and the VTC is more available The stay won't be so bad this time around," he said.
In addition, Morale Welfare and Recreation centers also provide access to computers with web cameras, allowing soldiers even greater access to loved ones back home.
(Based on a story by Army Pfc. Ricardo Branch of 3rd Infantry Division Public Affairs.)

the courtauld institute of art and universita degli studi 'federico II', naples: london/Naples roving seminar 2011
Showcasing New Research from Naples and London
Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 February 2011
09.45 - 12.45, Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre
Speaker(s): include Dr Stefano d'Ovidio (Naples), Dr Bianca de Divitiis (Naples), Dr Alessandra Rullo (Naples), Dr Jim Harris (The Courtauld), Edward Payne (The Courtauld)
Ticket/entry details: Open to all, free admission
Organised by: The Courtauld Institute of Art and Università degli Studi 'Federico II', Naples (contact: email@example.com)
For the past three years The Courtauld Institute of Art and the Università degli Studi 'Federico II', Naples, have held an annual 'roving seminar', exploring Naples in a series of visits led by Professors Francesco Caglioti, Francesco Aceto, Tomaso Montanari, Rosanna de Gennaro and Paola d'Alconzo and a team of postdoctoral scholars and doctoral candidates.
This year's seminar takes place in London, where, in addition to a series of visits to London Collections, two public workshops will be held presenting work-in-progress by early-career and emerging scholars from both institutions. The two workshops will feature short papers, allowing time for discussion and dialogue in English and Italian. Although not dealing with exclusively Neapolitan material, each session will provide an opportunity to explore aspects of cultural exchange and art-historical practice between Naples and Britain, as well as to hear new research across a wide chronological and thematic span.
The organisers are most grateful to the Andrew W Mellon Foundation and The Courtauld Institute of Art's Research Forum for their generous support.

Funny Games Interview
IGN.com chats with Naomi Watts about Funny Games.
IGN Movies: What drew you to this movie, especially knowing how tough a role you would be playing?
Naomi Watts: Michael Haneke was the initial draw for me. I knew and loved his work, I'd seen three of his films, and I love what he does. I saw the original and it really got under my skin; it freaked me out and I reacted in many different ways. I felt angry, I felt played with, I felt violated, but overall at the end I thought all of my reactions were so visceral and it provoked a huge amount of thought and discussion and it stayed with me. I never stopped feeling engaged in this movie, despite the adverse reactions, and to me that's a success. It wasn't an easy, quick decision – I didn't go right away, "Yeah, I've got to do this." All of those reasons that I said made it interesting to me also kind of repelled me and brought up a lot of fear for me. And often when I feel afraid of something, it's usually a good sign I know I'll end up having fun. And then I bounced the idea off of a lot of people that I respect and unanimously they all said, "Go work with Michael Haneke." Two or three of the directors I went to were familiar with this film and they all said this is worthy.
IGN: Because Funny Games is a critique or commentary on the filmmaking medium itself, did that affect the way you performed or the way you approached the material?
Watts: No, I think we just always played it for the truth of it, and you don't think about that until you're here [doing interviews], really. At the time we were just in the moment, and Michael Haneke and the way he works… he won't ever let you get out of the moment, in fact so much so that I was bound and gagged for pretty much the whole day because it was too hard to get in and out of that setup. And the way he shoots, he's not making fancy shots or quick cuts; it's almost like an ongoing play, you know – endless, long takes, so you just have to be completely connected and truthful. It's really exhausting, the way he works.
