Two years ago when my friend Chad Peery was attacked and paralyzed, I asked God why a father of four should have to endure so much. Then, as Chad carried his cross, he motivated us when he refused to give up. He inspired a family of law enforcement and captured the heart of the citizens of Oklahoma City with his optimism. Now, once again, I find myself asking God why a man who has already suffered so much should be called home now. Why must his innocent children suffer physically and emotionally from the loss of their father? I'm sure God has a purpose, but I can't imagine what it could be.
Please pray for Chad's children and his family of brothers and sisters at the Oklahoma City Police Department. Chad's spirit will live on in our hearts and in others through the gift of organ donation.

Peery died April 15 as a result of injuries in a car accident.

BBC The World: Eggs In Short Supply
Holly Morris and the Fox 5 News crew threw a fiesta at my house this morning for Mexican Independence Day, which is this Saturday, September 15. This is Mexico's Fourth of July!
We started by gathering a few chiles from my backyard garden. And Kelly, from Capital Decor, made some gorgeous chile arrangements to spice up my kitchen.
Then, I make Rabo de Mestiza with Holly. Rabo de Mestiza is a dish where eggs are poached in a tomato and poblano sauce. It's perfect for an Independence Day brunch because the white eggs, green chiles and red tomato sauce represent the colors in Mexico's flag.

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
The cover of Roger Owen's The Rise and Fall of Arab Presidents for Life (Harvard University Press) shows Maummar Qaddafi and Bashar Assad in happier days. The genial and beloved Libyan, so modest that he claimed no higher position than colonel, stands with fist in the air, militant and feisty as ever. The Syrian technocrat wears what can only be called a big goofy grin. They look vigorous, confident, secure.
Does Assad ever think back on that era now, in the quiet moments between massacres of his own people? The recent fortunes of his peer group must inspire some nostalgia, as well as rage. The current situation of Hosni Mubarak (no longer a pharaoh, not yet a mummy) is bad enough. It proves that compromise is a slippery slope; holding on to power demands a willingness to fight to the death. As the example of Libya shows, even that may not be enough.
But the real horror of the situation, for Assad anyway – a far greater concern than any report of his armed forces "killing and sexually abusing children and using them as human shields" – is that his people might not just fight him to the death, but deliver it to him in person, and record themselves doing so with their cell phones, for all the world to watch: Lèse majesté, then, with a vengeance.
It's impossible to read Owen's book without divided attention -- one eye on the page, the other on the news. In that respect, the book is timely. But it is also untimely, and not just because Owen, a professor of Middle East history at Harvard University, completed it a year ago. The endnotes cite one article dated as late as August 2011; otherwise, the references suggest he finished it last May.
In fact most of it was done at the end of 2010. It was conceived and written, that is, just before Mohamed Bouazizi's suicide by self-immolation (his final protest against the Tunisian authorities who had made it impossible for him to earn a living) set the whole region ablaze. Even with a final chapter on "The Sudden Fall" of the old order, Owen's book is very much a pre-Arab Spring text. A description from the Harvard University Press website says the book "exposes for the first time the origins and dynamics of a governmental system that largely defined the Arab Middle East in the twentieth century." This is, to be blunt, misleading. The Rise and Fall of Arab Presidents for Life is very much in the mainstream of recent U.S. scholarship on the region. Analysts have been considering the various flavors of political authoritarianism there for some time now. Owen's concerns are their concerns. The orientation of this work is more or less epitomized by the title of a well-known journal article: "Why Are There No Arab Democracies?"
Owen's "presidents for life" ruled countries that others have identified as cases of "dynastic republicanism" or "monarchial presidency." His list includes Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. Lebanon is an outlier here, as is post-Saddam Iraq. Owen describes them as having "constrained presidencies. The office is relatively weak -- dominated by outside forces (Syria in the case of Lebanon, the US with Iraq) and obliged to tread carefully given sectarian divisions within the country. In Iraq's case, a presidency-for-life once existed, but Lebanese presidents have left office voluntarily, except, of course, when assassinated.
The other regimes, by contrast, have been exceedingly stable. That stability might be explained by the efforts of any given state's repressive apparatus, of course; but then you had to explain why the repressive apparatus itself proved so trustworthy and loyal. Junior military officers can be ambitious, after all. But once the likes of Saddam Hussein and Colonel Qadaffi assumed command, they kept it -- at least until outside military forces broke their grip.
From specialized work on countries in the region, Owen extracts and synthesizes enough shared elements to produce a generalized model of the arrangement that proved so durable for so long. The origins can be traced to what he calls "the authoritarian presidential regimes established soon after independence," usually in the wake of the Second World War. A few readers will wonder if that's going far back enough. The experience of colonization is not the schooling in pluralism and rule-of-law it is sometimes made out to be.
In any event, the incentives for a postcolonial concentration of authority are clear enough. Establishing national sovereignty is an obvious one, and in the early days it meant bringing much of the economy under state control as necessary to direct production for local needs. All the better if oil was the chief commodity. Besides creating a middle class of engineers and other professionals to run industry, national revenues could be directed towards building infrastructure, meaning employment for a wide range of skill grades.
State control of the economy assured plenty of money to fund the military, thereby consolidating another vested interest in stability, while at the same time building up a separate internal security forces to keep an eye on the military as well as the civilian population. Any paranoia on the part of the presidents-for-life was completely justified. Owen notes that by the early 1970s, most of them had come into office from the military and could appreciate the need to build "coup-proof regimes."
Putting family members into key positions throughout the system gave the presidents-for-life another layer of oversight and control. In time, some regimes could even allow a bit of parliamentary politics as a valve to let off steam. And even when their economies underwent varying degrees of privatization, things remained well in hand. Previously nationalized industries were sold off to cronies, and only trusted people permitted to deal with foreign companies.
Enough people and institutions had enough of an investment in this arrangement to make continuity of leadership worth their while. In Syria, Assad succeeded his father. In Egypt, the younger Mubarak's inauguration was a matter of time. This was tolerable for the people who benefited from the arrangement, and it them an incentive to ignore those who didn't.
At a certain intensity, corruption no longer counts as corruption; it's just how things get done. And the men who served as the godfather to each national syndicate enjoyed the benefit of watching how one another did their jobs. They were a cohort. Owen calls it the "demonstration effect" – the diffusion of authoritarian techniques by example.
It clearly worked, as that photo of Qaddafi and Assad shows – at least until it didn't. Four of the nine presidents-for-life in power on the first day of 2011 have left office and another has agreed to step down when his term has ended. As for the other four, well, it ain't over 'til it's over. And nobody saw the reversal failure coming, least of all on the scale that it did.
In an essay titled "The Middle East Academic Community and the 'Winter of Arab Discontent': Why Did We Miss It?" (published last year), F. Gregory Gause, a professor of political science at the University of Vermont answers that he and his colleagues were "focused (and in many ways rightly so) on explaining the anomalous regime stability that characterized the Arab world in the 40 years leading up to these events."
It was never, he says, a matter of assuming that people were happy, but rather of focusing on the efficacy and robustness of authoritarian institutions. That sounds like a good description of the topic of The Rise and Fall of the Arab Presidents for Life.
Gause's self-critical remarks seem worth quoting at length. A single-minded concern with the regimes' strength "led us to discount the possibility of mass political mobilization, largely because we had seen previous efforts in this direction fail. It led us to make assumptions about the relationship between regimes and their militaries that turned out, in some cases, not to be true. It led us to overestimate the regime-strengthening effects of neo-liberal economic reform. It led us to discount the regime-threatening effects of demographic change and new social media, not because we did not recognize the fact of demographic change and new social media, but rather because we thought the regimes were strong enough to absorb the pressures generated by them."
Owen's last chapter takes up those undetected factors in the fragility of the monarchial presidential regimes, and concludes that the Arab Spring was another instance of the "demonstration effect" at work in the region – people learning from and using one another's experience, as their leaders had. Fair enough, I guess. But the most important books on 2011 will begin at that point, rather than end there.

Thomas Hobbes said that if he had read as much as others he would be as ignorant as they. Today most university faculty lack Hobbes's aplomb, and everyone complains that there's simply too much to read. The flood of books, articles, and blog posts never stops. (And here's one more!) Academic norms require that scholars "engage the literature," but the potentially relevant literature is enormous, especially for those who aspire to some kind of interdisciplinary approach. And at many universities, declining budgets and increasing administrative duties threaten the little time left for reading.
To make matters worse, academic culture seems carefully designed to maximize worries that one hasn't read enough. The convention of obsequious citation ensures that everyone thinks others have read more than they have. And now some journals are trying to raise their impact factor by pressuring authors to pad their articles with superfluous references — pressure experienced by one in five academics, according to a recent study.
How many times have you heard someone publicly admit to not having read a key book in their field? Never. Perhaps you know the game "humiliation" from the David Lodge novel? If not, just nod and smile in feigned recognition, then secretly go look it up. Of course, those with more cultural and professional power may be able to afford admitting they haven't read something — "You know, believe it not, I've actually never read Hamlet" — but by breaking the norm, they reinforce both their status and the norm itself.
There are no simple fixes, but here are two basic approaches to managing the overload of "must read" publications: demarcate and associate.
The first approach separates necessary from unnecessary reading, good from bad. Some handy demarcation criteria appear in the philosopher Harry Frankfurt's charming book On Bullshit. (It was all the rage during the Bush administration, but it's still worth reading, especially since it's extremely short.) Frankfurt says that bullshit is not the same as lying. Bullshit is speech or action that reveals an utter lack of concern with truth (presumably in areas where some kind of truth matters and can be discerned through established criteria, which is more problematic than Frankfurt admits). Frankfurt thinks that mass democracies are especially prone to bullshit, because they encourage every citizen to say something about every subject. Another source of bullshit is our confessional culture of personal authenticity and sincerity, based on the mistaken assumption that it's easier to understand yourself than the world. And although Frankfurt doesn't discuss it, one of the most fecund sources of bullshit is the doctrine of publish-or-perish, which fosters concern with professional status rather than saying something true and important. Other things being equal, cutting the bullshit from your reading list probably entails avoiding publications that are so obsessed with their own narrow disciplinary concerns (we've all been there) that they never get around to addressing other people or things.
You might object that you need to read at least some of a book to know that you don't need to read more, which leads to the second approach: association. Rather than focus on separating good from bad, try to see how good, bad, and everything between fits together. Learn how in Pierre Bayard's How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read. The title sounds like a guide for bullshitters, but Bayard challenges common assumptions about what it means to read a book in the first place. He notes that everyone interprets books differently, and the moment you finish reading a book you start forgetting it. What's most important about a book is not the details of its content, but its place in a cultural discourse. So a person who's recently heard about a book, maybe read a review and skimmed a few pages, could have more to say about it than a person who read it cover-to-cover a few years ago. Bayard uses a refreshingly humble citation system: UB: unknown book; SB: skimmed book; HB: heard about book; FB: forgotten book. And yes, to repeat every reviewer's joke: I actually read Bayard's book, whatever that means.
Maybe I could have skipped to the last chapter, where Bayard argues that, for the critic, books should fulfill the same function as nature for the writer or painter: "not to serve as the object of his work, but to stimulate him to write." He says that "what is essential is to speak about ourselves and not about books, or to speak about ourselves by way of books." Maybe so, in part. But then Bayard writes, "In the end, we need not fear lying about the text, but only lying about ourselves." Even for a literary critic, that sounds like the sort of narcissism that would drive Frankfurt nuts.
So, no surprises here: the answer must lie in both identifying what's worth reading and learning how it fits together with everything else. That may help one find an appropriate balance between reading and writing, between understanding the world and expressing oneself.
Enough said. Now I have some reading to do.
Mark B. Brown is associate professor of government at California State University at Sacramento.
With no consensus in sight on new standards for evaluating teacher education programs, negotiators agree to an extra meeting.
Economists -- contrary to their stereotype -- welcome information about the ideological leanings of those presenting work.
Terri E. Givens considers some of the frustrations of faculty life.
New Ph.D.s in the social sciences enhance their job prospects by thinking beyond their doctoral disciplines, writes Adam Fish.
Student presentations are a common feature of many courses, but presentation quality varies dramatically. Nearly every student has endured text-heavy PowerPoints read verbatim and doubted the credibility of a presentation's content. Yet, student presentations are pedagogically important; they provide students with an opportunity to take ownership of an issue and improve their public speaking ability – a valuable, employment-related skill.
Faculty members often urge students to meet for assistance with their presentations, but only the outliers show up. Detailed instructions for producing quality presentations sometimes go unnoticed or ignored. Even dedicated, high-achieving students can miss the mark come presentation day. The end result is a waste of valuable instruction time. Fifteen minutes of ineffective student-to-student instruction multiplied by 25 student presentations equal six-plus person hours of lost learning.
Who is at fault? An episode of "The Apprentice," which aired fall 2010, provides a possible answer. Donald Trump assigned two teams the same task. One team failed miserably. In the boardroom, Trump showed no mercy to Gene, who had done a poor job presenting, or Wade, the project manager who had selected Gene, but who had failed to verify Gene's ability to perform this important task.
Each week Trump fires one person. Should Trump fire Gene, the unprepared presenter, or Wade, the project manager who failed to assure quality control procedures? In what was described as a shocking move, Trump fired both men. However, his decision was sound; Gene performed poorly and Wade, who is ultimately responsible for the quality of the show, failed to do his job.
What if a student performs like Gene? What should happen if a student provides erroneous, irrelevant, and unimportant information, fails to provide credible references, and is unable to provide answers to basic questions? Who should be "fired" – the student who delivered an unacceptable presentation, the professor who had no advance knowledge of the presentation's content and allowed it to proceed during class, or both?
From my experience, requiring students to meet with the professor at least one week prior to their presentations in order to obtain permission to present is an effective method that dramatically improves student presentations and ensures more effective use of instructional time. It can be framed as a business meeting in which the vice president (professor) requests a meeting to review the work of the lead presenter (student) prior to presenting to an important client (the class). This meeting might even be graded. Certainly, a VP would not wait until the big presentation to evaluate the work of the lead presenter.
The purpose of these meetings is not simply to evaluate and approve student work. The meetings provide an opportunity to assist the student inside the "zone of proximal development"; I see what the student is able to do without assistance and what he or she can achieve with assistance.
At the start of each individual meeting I address an e-mail to the student and then add notes, links to videos and articles, and electronic documents archived in desktop folders. Although most undergraduates have grown up in the information age, many of these so-called "digital natives" do not demonstrate the ability to sift through data and identify what is important. Despite having mentioned in class that the founder of Wikipedia discourages academic use of this community-generated encyclopedia, it still appears on slides. Fortunately, each Wiki is left on the cutting room floor.
Determining the credibility of other websites involves asking students, "What do you know about this organization? What is their mission? Who is responsible for the content?" We explore the site to find the answers. Once a source is found to be credible, deciding what information to include is guided by the question, "Knowing that memory is imperfect, what will students retain from your presentation one year later?"
For presentations in my class, students must carefully select one or more videos and show clips that total five minutes. We discuss the credibility of the video and determine whether it repeats what the student will discuss. Viewing the video is essential. Prior to the adoption of my current policy, a student began to show an inappropriate video during his presentation. The video included profanity, and lacked any apparent educational value. I asked him to pause the video and explain why he chose the video and what we could expect to see. He replied, "I don't know – I haven't seen it." Now, before the video's debut in class, I say, "Tell me about the video. Why did you choose this video and not another?"
During the meeting I ask students to answer the discussion questions they plan to use. Often, the questions are duds and their answers brief. We refine the questions with Bloom's Taxonomy and higher-ordered learning outcomes in mind and generate discussion questions that are more likely to inspire passionate debate.
After three semesters of observational data, the improvement has been unmistakable, and the early results of an Institutional Review Board-approved study indicate that 84 percent of students agree or strongly agree that the meeting was beneficial and 77 percent agree or strongly agree that the meeting helped them to avoid procrastination. One student who had completed over 70 credit hours wrote, "This was the first required faculty-student meeting I have encountered in my college career. It was highly beneficial…. If there was no meeting, my presentation would have been a major disaster." A graduate wrote, "By setting an earlier 'due date' I avoided throwing together a presentation the night before I actually had to present it." The highest compliment came from a student who blurted out in class, "These are better than many professors' presentations."
I have found a number of benefits to required meetings with students beyond the improved quality of the presentations themselves. These face-to-face meetings typically leave me with a greater sense of a personal relationship with the student, and I would venture to say the feeling is mutual. Taking the time to meet outside of normal class hours clearly indicates to students that the professor cares. It also gives them a better idea of the rigor that underlies the peer-review process – how their professors' scholarship thrives on the constructive criticism of others – and how this can ultimately elevate the quality of their own work. Finally, it might be considered a "high-impact practice" that opens minds and improves retention. Although there may be no panacea for subpar student presentations, the lesson I learned from "The Apprentice" – that I am at least partially accountable for the quality of student's presentations – has improved the classes I teach and the quality of my relationships with students.

Evelyn avoids disaster at London Fashion Week
The stakes were high as Evelyn prepared to debut her new line of maxi dresses at London Fashion Week. But hours before she unveiled her designs, it looked like her fashion show nearly came apart at the seams. She was missing two models, and some of the designs didn't fit the mannequins the way she thought they would.

This dessert came out extremely tasty, and it was fairly easy to make (although I made my own Brioche, using the Golden Brioche recipe from this site). I did use the extra butter, as called for in the recipe, with the cinnamon sugar. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! My only complaint was that I think the measurements for the berries are off. 2 pints each of 4 kinds of berries adds up to 16 cups (a pint of berries is about 2 cups), which was way too much berry sauce for one pan. I ended up making it in a trifle dish (which was slightly larger than my 9-inch springform) and only used about half of the berries. I would definitely make this again, but with only 1 pint each!flag if inappropriate
I make this in individual ramekins, cutting the bread rounds to fit. A lovely presentation with a dollop of whipped cream or creme fraiche. Agree that butter is not needed. I usually use a potato bread, which has a slightly firmer texture.flag if inappropriate
Summer pudding is one of my favorite. Butter is not necessary and not as much sugar.flag if inappropriate
Ever since we lived in England, I've made a summer pudding. I use a proper pudding basin, line it with bread (any solid white type),no plastic, and use whatever berries are in season, but ALWAYS currants. They are the key. Not nearly so much sugar - only a spoonful or so, depending on the berries. Creme fraiche is good with it,if you don't have real English cream!flag if inappropriate
An amazing dessert! Any good white bread will work and any combination of berries as well. Like the other reviewer, I had extra sauce and also used with the pudding. This is my favorite Summer Dessert!!flag if inappropriate
I can't comment on the recipe, but I can give you my opinion of the final product. I was lucky enough to dine at a friends house who made this pudding - DELICIOUS! And beautiful to look at. Went searching for the recipe so that I could try it for my family.flag if inappropriate
I made this for a dinner party and it was fabulous! I made it the night before and used 1/2 honey and 1/2 agave syrup instead of the 1 cup of sugar. I used a 9 inch pan and had about 1 cup of berry sauce leftover, after I squished and poked etc to try to use it all, so I saved that, added a squeeze of lemon, a few fresh berries and served it over the top. It made it look really pretty. It was great to have a no bake dessert in this heat. I served it with a dollop of plain thick yogurt on top. It tasted nice and fresh. A nice way to showcase all of the fresh local berries.flag if inappropriate

It's important to preface this entire column by saying I have no idea how bad Tony Parker's eye injury is. None of us will know until at least July 5 when Parker flies to New York and meets with an eye specialist.
I'm also one of the Spurs fans who isn't that worried about Parker's eye. I feel like he got lucky that he went to the emergency when he did (though he should've gone straight there). I also feel like when he gets cleared by that eye specialist that he's going to hate wearing protective goggles.
None of us have any idea if he's OK, but we'll start to get a better idea of how worried the Spurs may or may not be starting with tomorrow night's NBA draft.
Aside from a handful of second round workouts, we haven't heard a peep about any draft night plans the Spurs have. And why would we? Last season we didn't hear about the Kawhi Leonard trade until after Indiana drafted him. We knew they were interested in Davis Bertans, but didn't know if they'd draft him in the first round or the second round.
We hadn't even heard Cory Joseph's name until they drafted him. Two years ago, James Anderson had to shut down his workouts because of an injury so we weren't sure if they'd grab him. So yeah, there's a really good chance we're not going to hear anything until it happens.
Having said that, if they make a move we'll know pretty quickly whether it's a Parker-related move.
Let's assume they build a package around Tiago Splitter. It's my belief that depending on the team, the Spurs could use a Splitter-centered package and get anywhere in between picks 10 and 16 (not to say that'd they'd be interested in trading Splitter for a late lottery draft pick or lower).
That would mean they could draft an athletic big guy like Terrence Jones, Meyers Leonard, Tyler Zeller, Perry Jones III or Arnett Moultrie. If the Spurs were to trade Splitter for one these more explosive big guys, we could deduce that Tony Parker's eye is probably in OK shape.
However, let's say San Antonio trades into the 10-16 range and drafts someone in the Dion Waiters, Damion Lillard, Austin Rivers, Kendall Marshall group. We could assume that they're as worried about Parker as some Spurs fans are.
It could also mean that they didn't have enough guys that could create off the dribble and this is the cheapest and most effective way to do it. Waiters, Rivers and Lillard are all in the Tony Parker mold and presumably could help fill a Parker void quickly (I'd be stunned if Lillard is still available at 10).
We all know the Spurs need help inside as much as anywhere else, so why would they trade in to a lottery that is deep at the power forward/center position and draft a guard instead if they aren't worried about Parker's health?
The NBA Draft is my favorite non-game night of the year, whether the Spurs have a first round pick or not. I love the trades. I love when teams make wild card picks. I love Darth Stern making the announcement and having to look all the way up at the power forwards and centers during the hand shake.
There's this sense of hope and opportunity about the NBA Draft that you don't see many other nights in sports. However, Thursday night will come with some extra intrigue.
Will the Spurs make a move? If they do will it be a small move? Will it be another game changer like the Kawhi trade? Will it involve Tony Parker's protege/replacement or will it involve a big man that can protect the rim with or without Tim Duncan in the game?
We'll find out Thursday night, but don't expect to hear anything before that. We're still talking about the Spurs, after all.

YMMV: How I Live Now
- Nausea Fuel: It was the type of book you couldn't put down, but God were the moments when you wanted to just chuck the thing at the wall. Any of the scenes involving corpses was enough.
- Nightmare Fuel: The fates of The Major and the guy from the orchard.
- Parts of the film are very uncomfortable to watch, particularly Daisy finding and searching the corpses at Gatesfield.
- Strangled by the Red String: In the film Edmond and Daisy's relationship just happens, and all of a sudden Edmond is just the one, period.
- The Woobie: Almost everyone, really.
- Iron Woobie: Piper, although she does crack once or twice.

Bravo to the Bodles and the Sentinels of Freedom for making this event possible! Taking care of our wounded veterans should be as much of a priority for us as fighting the wars in which they served.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP)—Fairly or not, Vancouver and San Jose face off in the Western Conference finals as perennial playoff underachievers. Fairly or not, it's a label only one team—and several star players—will shed with a long awaited chance to play for the Stanley Cup.
With trophy cases full of awards as the NHL's top team, scorers and players in the regular season, the Sharks and Canucks are mirror images of each other.
"We both had good regular seasons for a few years now. We've both been building towards something, the core group has stayed relatively the same, and we both have similar labels as teams that have good regular seasons, but haven't been able to make it in the playoffs," Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa(notes) said.
The Sharks have come closer of late, getting to the Western Conference finals a second straight season, but are still looking for their first trip to the Cup finals. Vancouver has played for the Stanley Cup twice in 40 years, but Game 1 on Sunday will be its first trip to the NHL's final four since 1994.
Both teams flirted with ghosts of playoffs past by almost blowing 3-0 series leads—Vancouver to nemesis Chicago in the first round, and San Jose to Detroit in the last round—before recovering to win pressure-packed Game 7s. But both sides also know that isn't enough to shed a reputation for tight collars in the postseason; that only one trophy—the Stanley Cup—will end that talk.
They even reference each other when discussing it.
"(San Jose defenseman Dan) Boyle said it best: Until you actually win you are always going to have that label as a team and as an organization," Bieksa said.
And as players.
Much of the focus for past playoff failure has fallen on the top players for both teams. In San Jose, captain Joe Thornton(notes) and Patrick Marleau(notes) have both been called out for failing to raise their games in the playoffs after continued success in the regular season.
"We have this anchor that everybody throws at us either fairly or unfairly," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "We don't worry about that.
The Sharks' top duo answered some of the critics in Game 7 against Detroit on Thursday night. Thornton, who won the league scoring title and MVP awards in 2006, dominated the first period, and Marleau scored the winning goal—his first point of the series—with 7:47 left to play.
Still, the first questions as they prepared to board a flight for Vancouver after practice Saturday focused on San Jose's past playoff letdowns.
"The only way you get rid of that is to move on," Marleau said. "It would be nice, you put in a lot of sweat and everything, to get a little bit of recognition."
Which must sound familiar to Vancouver's top-line twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin(notes).
The Sedins won the last two NHL scoring titles, a first for brothers, Henrik was selected the league MVP last year, and Daniel is a finalist this season. But both are under the microscope after struggling late in the first round against Chicago, and against Nashville throughout. Rather than the series-clinching goal they combined on to finish the Predators, the focus is on a combined minus-16 playoff rating.
"They've gone through the same things as we have," Daniel said. "They've been getting a lot of criticism but they've been to the conference final two years in a row, which I think is pretty good."
So did brother Henrik, who argued that was the difference between the teams.
"They've had a top team for a number of years," he said. "We've never felt this good about our team for a long time so for us this is maybe the first year where we thought we were a contender."
If that was an attempt to play down the Canucks status, San Jose coach Todd McLellan wasn't buying it. He pointed out Vancouver won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top regular-season team, and led the league in goals, goals-against, power play and faceoffs, and was second in penalty killing.
"We've got to play to the underdog role, McLellan said. "I think it will allow us to play free.
Free from the burden of expectations, perhaps. But only a win will erase the labels.

The Daily Activist
October 2011
Beatles legend, Paul McCartney, joins a growing list of celebrity supporters backing "Tiger Time" to save wild tigers.
David Shepherd CBE, a British wildlife artists and conservationist, established Tiger Time, a charity aimed at saving the last 3,200 wild tigers on earth, in May of this year."The vast majority of people are shocked to the core when they hear that there are only 3,200 wild tigers left on earth," says David Shepherd. "It is a shockingly low figure. Think of it this way – every wild tiger on earth could stand on just one soccer pitch! Getting that message out to people is vital if we are to save the wild tiger."

Escaping shortcode conditionally
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
Description (last modified by markjaquith)
Using additional brackets is the official way to "escape" a shortcode. e.g. [[escaped]]
Using additional brackets [[shortcode]] in a post works only when the plugin (function) for this shortcode is active. When deactivated, additional brackets are shown in the post. It is annoying for many users, because editors sometimes test a plugin, write about it in a post with shortcode example and after some months this plugin is deactivated. Now there will be additional brackets, breaking their example code.
Expected output, regardless of whether that plugin is active:
Actual output, if plugin is not active:

I've attached a patch that takes care of any shortcodes of the form [[foobar]] left over after running all registered shortcode functions: I avoided changing the get_shortcode_regex function to allow for general tags because of the way the embed shortcode is handled (calling do_shortcode twice, once with only the embed as the shortcode to handle, and once after that).
Getting [shortcode]Text[/shortcode] to display required an escape of the form [[shortcode]Text[/shortcode]] ; so non-shortcodes of this form are reduced accordingly.

I've attached a patch that adds escape_shortcode() and uses it to escape shortcodes of the form [[foobar]] and [[foo]bar[/foo]].
It also escapes [[embed]foobar[/embed]], which hasn't been escaped by the previous patch.
comment:9 @jdgrimes — 2 years ago
+1 - This can be very annoying. My temporary solution was to add the shortcode with, e.g., __return_false as the callback and use the built-in escaping.

In shortcodes.diff I don't see how arbitrary corruption of HTML would be avoided. Just because someone uses square braces in their CDATA, URI, or other element, doesn't mean it's an unregistered shortcode.
In shortcodes.2.diff I don't see how shortcodes would even work anymore.
I agree the escaping system is somewhat nonsensical, but we need a more foolproof solution.
comment:13 @aaroncampbell — 4 months ago
- Keywords close added
Honestly, I think that at this point we have to consider unregistered shortcodes to not be shortcodes at all. If you really need to use double brackets to escape unregistered shortcodes, just register them with add_shortcode( 'shortcode', '__return_empty_string' )
I'm not saying this is "best case scenario", but I do think it's where we are right now for backwards compat, keeping the regexes as sane as possible, etc.

Four Kuwaitis have been arrested for comments made on Twitter and will be detained for 10 days for questioning, an Interior Ministry source said on Monday, after local media reported the detainees had criticised the country's ruler.
Kuwait, a U.S. ally and major oil producer, has been taking a firmer line on social media and has charged several citizens this year for comments made on the site which were deemed to be stoking tensions in the Gulf Arab state.
Twitter is extremely popular in the country.
"They were summoned and transferred to the prosecution. The public prosecution ordered a 10-day detention," the official said, declining to be named.
The source added that the four were arrested for comments made on Twitter but did not give any details.
Kuwaiti newspapers have reported that the four were arrested last week over comments deemed insulting to the emir, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who is described as "immune and inviolable" in the constitution.
This issue has become sensitive in Kuwait since demonstrations against new voting rules ordered by the emir last month ahead of Dec. 1 parliamentary elections.
The emir has said the changes were constitutional and were aimed at improving the voting system to help preserve national unity.
A prominent opposition politician, Musallam al-Barrak, has also been charged with comments deemed insulting to the emir made at an opposition rally in October.
Such direct public criticism is extremely rare in Kuwait and marked a shift in opposition rhetoric.
While public demonstrations about local issues are common in a state that allows the most dissent in the Gulf, Kuwait has avoided Arab Spring-style mass unrest that toppled three veteran Arab dictators last year.
But tensions have intensified between the elected parliament and opposition groups, and the hand-picked government in which ruling family members hold the top posts.

Real Estate in Kau, Hawaii
Kau district
Next you will encounter Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, America's most energetic and exciting national park, where live volcanoes erupt daily it seems. If you are too far away, you may not be able to see the molten lava flowing into the ocean, but if you do get a chance to see it, you will never forget the sight. If you are planning a trip to the park, spend at least three days so you can get the most out of your stay. There is simply too much to see in just one day. Just remember to bring either a jacket or sweatshirt, as it can get downright chilly at night.
The final destination of interest is Ka Lae. This is much like the Plymouth rock of Hawaii - this was the place where the first Polynesians arrived over 1500 years ago. When standing on this point, you will officially be in the southernmost point of the United States - a claim that Key West, Florida held until Hawaii officially became a state. This is literally the edge of Hawaii, you could actually fall off 500 feet to the ocean below. To the west you will find the ancient fishing village of Waiahukini, which was inhabited from the years 750 AD all the way up to the 1860s. You will find ancient canoe areas, temples, shelter caves and pili grass that litters the area. Following along the east coast you will find that it actually curves inland, revealing a green sand beach - one of a few in the world and one of the main reasons why tourists visit this area. It is a very hard area to reach, only accessible by walking, biking or all terrain vehicles.
When you come upon Naalehu and Waiohinu, you may think you have fallen off the edge of the world because there is really nothing to see at these locations. You may see the occasional bird flying or the monkeypod tree that was planted by Mark Twain in 1866. There are a few things however, such as a gas station, a couple of restaurants, fruit stands and a few bed and breakfasts. This town is about as far away from civilization as one can possibly be, while still being on the state itself.
Kau is located in the southernmost area on the Big Island. In Kau, there are a number of places you can visit including Ka Lae, Punaluu Black Sand Beach, and Nahuku Lava Tube. Ka Lae is located at the southern area of Hawaii. The town is about 10 miles from Kau. There is no one inhabiting the Ka Lae. It is believed that the Tahitians first landed in Ka Lae when they come to Hawaii. Ka Lae is a national historical landmark. If you have rented a car, you can drive around to explore the area. The region has narrow roads. In the area, there is a beacon lighthouse that serves as warning for the boat. The lighthouse is located near to the Kalalea Heaiau. Kalalea Heiau is the worship place for the pagan Hawaiian god. On the west side of the Ka Lae, there are boat hoists lifting and letting down the boats into the sea. It is not recommended that you swim at the water because there is a strong sea current.
Punaluu Black Sand Beach is the most visited black sand beach in Hawaii Big Island. There are many things you can do at the black sand beach. You can watch the sea turtles and go snorkeling at the black sand beach. You can picnic under the coconut tree at the Punaluu Black Sand Beach. Nearby the beach, there is a freshwater fishpond. The beach is well known for the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. You can view the Green Sea Turtles sunbathing on the sand. Tourists can look but cannot touch the green sea turtles. The bacteria from the human skin can kill the turtles so it is advised that you keep a distance between them when observing. The water of Punaluu Black Sand Beach is protected with a small cove.
Nahuku Lava Tube is a large tube with many magma marks on the sides. If you want to explore Nahuku Lava tube, you have to visit the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. There is a bathroom within a short distance from the entrance to the Lava Tube. You can also buy some water before entering the Lava Tube. The best time to visit the magma tube is during a sunny day. During a rainy day, the weather can become wet and causes the trail to become slippery. The trail that leads to the tube is paved. The lava tube is well lit with light so you won't be groping in the dark. The brownish red roots can be seen in certain areas of the lava tub. At the end of the tube, there is a staircase, which you can climb to reach the surface. You will see a gate at the right side when you reach the end of the tube.
