Education: The Learning of Skills We Will Never Need
The Education Forum--Part II
There has been such an overwhelming response to the Education Forum that we may well be on the way to a real revolution in American education. For weeks now, we at Car Talk Plaza have been reading the very intelligent responses (there were more than a thousand responses, and we read them all). Thanks to all of you who shared your ideas.
The question was basically this: Given that we have kids in a kind of "learning environment" for 15 to 20 very important years of their lives, what should we be attempting to do with them? What's our goal? (We wanted to focus on WHAT we should be teaching them. Later we will address the HOW question.) Also, we made the distinction between:
a) "Vocational training" (not woodworking and printing, but anything designed specifically as preparation for gainful employment; this mostly happens now in voc-tech schools and colleges), and
b) Everything else
Our focus, for now, is on "Everything else."
If you haven't read the Rant that spawned all this mail, you might want to make that your first stop. New Theory of Learning.
I'm not sure how this all fits together, but here's the gist of your responses:
1. Preparation for life, as opposed to preparation for college seems to be a powerful idea.
Overwhelmingly, the mail said that the
emphasis on a "classical" education (by which we mean the usual math, science, history, etc., delivered by
lecturers with the goal of passing a
test) is an ill-conceived notion. To quote my good friend Alex K., "My education prepared me to be a
19th-century gentleman." (Alex is the
"most educated" person I know--with degrees from Yale, Harvard and Oxford! It doesn't get more
"classical," yet he thinks it was not a good
education. Nor do most of those who responded.) There were many, however, who made a case for a classical
education--but the mail was at
least 10 to one against it.
The Classical Approach
2. Some of the reasons given often for something other than a classical education:
3. There is little, if any, emphasis on "life skills." Many people
suggested courses with titles like "Real Life 101." This is really good reading. This is powerful stuff.
This is the revolution. Rather
than reading my summary of these ideas, I think you should read
them for yourself.
Real Life 101
4. There was a lot of controversy on the following subject: Should
schools have to do the job of parents--specifically the "teaching" of morals and ethics? Take a look at
arguments on both sides and let us
know what you think.
Parental Responsibility
5. As long as we're discussing revolution, here's a beauty. There was
tremendous support for this thought: "Of all the students in colleges today, a very large number should
not be there. They are not interested
in what's going on there--except for the social life. Yes, college does offer a venue for the very
necessary socialization process of 18- to
22-year-olds. But let's admit that many colleges do little else--except for the 10 percent or so of
students who are indeed motivated. And
look at the resources! Must they socialize in multimillion-dollar chemistry laboratories?
What are colleges for?
I had a discussion yesterday with a friend--a professor at a prestigious East Coast university. She is another of the very educated people I know. And in her case, she's also intelligent. First, she disagreed with my number of 10 percent being highly motivated. "All my students are highly motivated," she said. I pointed out that the 10 percent may not be true at the prestigious university where she teaches, but what about (I mentioned two or three other well-known but less prestigious schools in the city)? She caved. "But," she said, "they have to do something. They're not ready for the world."
No, they aren't ready for the world. So, what else could we do with them that might be a bit less expensive than the $30,000 per year we're spending now?
6. A few more things. We received a bunch of
letters with some really interesting ideas. Some are from teachers, some from students, one from a person
involved in reforming education and
a few others. Secondly, an idea from my brother--and, surprisingly, it's a pretty good one. He says to
me, "You know, school departments are
always underfunded. That's because they get their money from taxes. Schools should be funded BY INDUSTRY!"
Then, just a few days later,
there's an article in The New York Times Magazine (Sunday, July 5, 1998) about a very successful
alternative school. And where do
they get their money?
From Honda!
The World of Ideas
So, that's our interim summary. We have some very good ideas here. But there's a lot to be done. It seems to me that it's time to rethink just about everything. In addition to What should we "teach"? there are also questions like When should schooling start? Where should it happen? Who should do it? What happens when...? (Don't forget, these kids are changing every day. If you try to teach them stuff which is not developmentally appropriate, you lose them. We need to hear from some experts on this subject.)
I think that with some effort, we actually might be ready to develop a first-draft curriculum--something like:
Grades 1 through 5?
Grades 6 through 10?
Grades 11 through ? Where do we stop "public" education and where do colleges start?
What should colleges do? Clearly not what they do now. How many 19th-century gentlemen and ladies can we tolerate, consarn it?
Let's go. My plan is to take our output and send it to all who can and should do something about it. For example, I'd love to hear what the Department of Education at the World's Greatest University (Harvard, to some of you) has to say about this.
If you know an expert--or you are an expert--please let me know.
Thanks again for all your input.
And hey -- any more ideas out there? Send them in.

We know, we're supposed to every so carefully hand wash our delicates. We would, you know, if we had loads of extra time on our hands. Instead, we toss them in the washer and hope for the best. Luckily, the Berry Ball Bra Washer ($14) is going to save us time and our dainties. The round ball keeps our bras from getting twisted or stretched, and the tiny ball inside has soft little nubs that that deep clean without being too hard on even our lacy lovelies.
Whoever found this treasure...wow. Seriously wonderful & obvious idea. Will be buying online!!!
Great find! This looks great, better than a typical lingerie bag. I buy nice bras, but for the life of me I can't find the time to hand wash them.
This is great, except that like the Bra Baby, it won't fit bras my size. :( Can there a Buxom Berry Bra Washer?

Barpazza (Capital Square)
For reliable East-West fusion bites
A cosy eatery serving Italian cuisine with Southeast Asian flavours, Barpazza's forte seems to lie in their culturally-stretched pizza selection of 16 pizzas. The smoked salmon gourmet pizza ($27) is a must-try, made with tomato sauce, mascarpone cheese and smoked salmon drizzled with olive oil. Fancy something that leans more to the Asian flavours? There's the rendang chicken pizza ($25.90) – curry rendang sauce, mozzarella cheese, red onions and chicken on a crisp 12-inch thin crust dough.
Book a table here | Address: 25 Church Street, Capital Square 3, #01-02 | Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11.30am-11pm; Sat 5.30-10.30pm
Cuisine Master Hot Pot
For a high-end hot pot experience
Book a table here to experience a gourmet hot pot meal with, depending on where you're seated, a view of the Marina Bay Sands skyline. If you are not sure of what to pick off its extensive a la carte menu, we recommend the restaurant's abalone banquet set ($118 per person). This gives you a series of servings to dip into two divided soup bases in one pot – chicken soup that has been slow-cooked for ten hours, and a mushroom soup prepared from five kinds of imported exotic mushrooms. Start with tuna sashimi, and move onto the scallop with grouper combination, kangaroo meat or tender ribeye beef. An added plus? You won't even have to cook your meal yourself (there will be a server helping you).
Book a table here | Address: 68 Boat Quay | Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11am-2pm, 6pm-11pm; Sat 6-11pm
Enoteca L'Operetta
For true-blue Italian favourites
Located at the newly revived Boat Quay, this Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) certified pizza restaurant is a gem – from the classy white-washed décor to the delicious wood-fired pizzas and myriad of mains. We recommend the panna e proscuitto cotto pizza (a combination of cream sauce, mozzarella ham, parmesan and basil, $22). If you'd prefer to have something heavier and with bite, the cotoletta alla Milanese (breaded veal rack served with rocket salad, $58) will do equally fine.

Rick has not received any gifts yet
Rick - I've had the same questions you've raised about the attitudes of today's younger generation. Most of us (older than 50-something), learned what our place in the family would be and that responsibilities were part of living. Later, nobody had to tell us to help our parents if they required help either. This current generation rarely has any respect for their peers - and tend to feel that most seniors should be eliminated entirely. The most likely culprits are probably the public schools - and I'm wondering if they're including the importance of family ties and responsibilities at all. It's really rather sad how distant so many kids are from the standards that made the US the great place it was. I didn't have children, but, maybe some who have kids can add some thoughts since most are aware of what is being taught in schools today. Hope a few will share their ideas.

Regardless of whether I'm presenting to a West Fargo, Fargo or Moorhead MOPS or parent's group, or talking with parents in my West Fargo office, it's a complaint I hear often. Moms and dads recognize the importance of vegetables for their children, but getting them from the plate to the palette can be a challenge.
Kids detesting their veggies isn't a new phenomenon. Thinking back to my own childhood, I remember strangely off-color (and off tasting) canned green beans, slimy spinach with Popeye on the can, mushy and overcooked broccoli…I'm lucky I wasn't turned off to these vegetables for life! Kids today are often faced with the same disgusting options, in addition to new challenges.
At an even younger age our kids are being introduced to sugar in its many forms. Sugar in baby formula (even though amounts are often not listed on the nutrition label), sugar in infant cereal; even unsweetened juices and their natural occurring sugars heighten our infants' cravings for sweet stuff. The result is that we're conditioning our kids to crave sweet tastes through the release of dopamine in the brain. This brain response leads to a feeling of comfort and contentment (think of your own body's response to "comfort foods") and they become hypersensitive to sweetness, craving it more and more.
I believe this to be one of many factors that are contributing to unprecedented obesity rates among our children, as well as many common behavioral disorders such as ADD, and other health challenges such as type 2 Diabetes, depression, asthma, anxiety, daytime drowsiness and nighttime insomnia. It is also important to note that sugar also has a suppressing effect on the nervous system and immunity. I often find a correlation between sugar intake in children and recurring ear infections and colds, even in my own kids.
So what's a parent to do? Here are some tips I've found to be extremely helpful both for my own family and the families that visit my office:
- Limit sugary and high carb foods, including breads, cereals, soda, juice, cake, candy, and cookies. Don't forget about the hidden sweeteners in ketchup, salad dressings, and processed and fast foods. To understand why read, "The Truth About Good Mood Food and Happy Meals".
- Introduce high quality supplements into your family's eating plan. Many of the health conditions being battled today can be traced back to diet. Our food supply isn't as nutritious as it once was and let's face it, life can get hectic and the family doesn't always eat right. That's why I believe supplements are an important part of any healthy lifestyle. But, I'm not talking the cartoon vitamins from the grocery store (yep, you guessed it…they are chock full of sugar, fillers, and dyes). There are many high quality brands available and we carry several in our office that I trust for my own family's health.
- Set a good example. Kids will follow the lead of their parents. To instill healthy habits, ensuring you're eating a well-balanced diet, rich in vegetables. Your children will surely follow suit.
- Experiment with vegetables in their many forms. Introduce vegetables to your children in raw form rather than cooked. Many kids are actually attracted to their bright colors and interesting shapes. Consider child-size versions (mini-carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.). How about something frozen? Many moms have shared that while their kids won't eat cooked peas, they love eating them straight from the freezer.
- Get creative. Kids can't resist vegetables when they are presented in interesting ways. Check out the fun ideas below, and better yet, get the kids involved in the kitchen. Often kids will happily eat what they've prepared themselves.
What creative and fun techniques have you used to get your children to eat their veggies? As one mom to another, I would love to know your secrets. Please comment below.

I love pictures especially black and whites because they capture the emotion of the time the picture was taken. I have created 9 books through blurb.com and absolutely love using this website. Most of my books were created for family for birthday gifts and Christmas gifts. I created a wedding album for a friend of mine. She never got around to making her wedding album so her husband let me put it together for her as a surprise gift. I love to organize the pictures and see how they fold into a story! My two favorite books are Nicole's Super Sweet 16 and My First Year. I just love the way they turned out!

-KL-VS (Science and Technology, 2014) - The KL gene codes for the protein klotho. Specifically the VS variant of the KL gene seems to improve IQ by around 6 points. Three independent studies have confirmed these findings. In one study of 220 volunteers between the ages of 52-85, those with the variant had better cognition.
In order to confirm that their finding was the result of a real causative element between the VS variant and higher IQ, they genetically engineered mice to have the mouse-counterpart of the KL-VS gene, which likewise increases the klotho in their brains. They likewise exhibited higher levels of intelligence.
The brains of the mice possessed abnormalities when examined as well. NMDA receptors in the brains of mice had double the number of GluN2B, a molecular subunit of NMDA receptors associated with higher levels of intelligence.
The following genes were mentioned as accounting for only half a percent of IQ variation:
-HMGA2 (UCLA, 2012) - Specifically, those with the C variant of HMGA2 had larger brains and higher IQs than those with the T variant.
-NPTN (King's College London, 2014) - This gene is believed to affect the thickness of the brain's grey matter, which is correlated with IQ level. Grey matter is involved in attention, perceptual awareness, thinking, memory, consciousness and language. 1,583 teenagers were given IQ tests. Those with one variant tended to have thinner cortices and lower IQs whereas those with another variant tended to have thicker cortices and higher IQs.
Researchers investigated this gene in the brain cells of humans and mice. They believe that the left hemisphere is more sensitive to the effects of mutations of the gene. "Their findings suggest that some differences in intellectual abilities can result from the decreased function of the NPTN gene in particular regions of the left brain hemisphere"(King's College London, 2014)
-ADRB2 (Gosso, 2007) - The beta-2 adrenergic receptor, researchers argue, is responsible for 1% variation in IQ, making it a highly significant source of IQ variation. This polymorphism, they say, is responsible for gene expression of beta-2 adrenergic signaling, which has been shown to be involved in memory consolidation.
This result illustrates the validity of our approach to detect
functional variation and demonstrates for the first time a direct link between
quantitative genetics and the genetics of species differences.

4J Studios posted a few updates on "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" as well as the upcoming "Minecraft PS4 Edition." According to a report from Gaming Bolt on May 8, the development team first confirmed that the PS4 port is going to include an exclusive feature that won't be found in the other console versions. The open-world sandbox game will be taking advantage of the touch pad on the Dual Shock 4.
In addition to making ergonomics improvements, Sony Computer Entertainment decided to add a new input method to the PS4 controller. As a result, the touch pad was implemented into the middle of the Dual Shock 4, providing some functionalities that are similar to the mouse pad used for laptops. 4J Studios confirmed that "Minecraft PS4 Edition" will use the touch pad to navigate around the creative user interface.
The development team also provided an update on the TU16 patch for "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition." Although they currently do not have an official release window, the 16th main title update for the Xbox 360 port should include multiple bug fixes. It appears that 4J Studios could be releasing the 1.06 patch, which adds support for multiple DLC packs, for "Minecraft PS3 Edition" first.
Along with the aforementioned consoles ports, the same company is also responsible for "Minecraft Vita Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox One Edition." Mojang, the main developer of the open-world sandbox game, previously confirmed plans to import worlds created from "Minecraft PS3 Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" to the PS4, Vita and Xbox One games. However, the transfer is most likely not possible when going from a Playstation platform to a Xbox console and vice versa.
"Minecraft PS4 Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" are also going to have bigger worlds when compared to the current console versions on the market. However, the size won't be infinite due to the save file limitations imposed by the console manufactures. 4J Studios could also used the extra horsepower of the next-generation consoles to boost the frame rate, resolution, textures and other visual elements.
"Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition" managed to sell very well when compared to the original version. The console port has sold more than 12 million copies so far, just behind the 15 million copies sold from the PC game despite coming out six months later. A screen showcasing one of the many DLC packs of the Xbox 360 iteration from the official 4J Studios Twitter page can be viewed with the photo attached near the top of this article.

Scott Marion / New England Aquarium
(Catalog No. 1412)
Right whale No. 1412 is one of the most mysterious in the population—so much so that she doesn't have a name. She has very few sightings in the catalog, but the few times she has been seen have been very intriguing. She was first sighted in October of 1984. She and her calf were photographed on two different days that month near Jeffreys Ledge, east of New Hampshire. Her next sighting (or so we thought) was also on Jeffreys Ledge in October with a calf…but it was 13 years later! Many of the whales in this population are seen every year, or at least every few years. Where had she been during those 13 years? What's even more interesting is that no one photographed her and her calf on the calving grounds off the southeastern U.S. in 1997, yet some of the most extensive survey coverage of that area occurred that year. How did this distinctive whale elude detection? Is Jeffreys Ledge her primary fall/winter habitat? Where does she give birth if not in the southeast U.S.?
Some of the mystery was solved when New England Aquarium researchers traveled to Iceland in 2004 to launch a right whale survey of an historic whaling ground southwest of the island. During that visit, they discovered that some whale watch captains had photographed several right whales west of Iceland in previous years. Who should appear in those images but No. 1412! She was sighted near Iceland in 1995 and in 2003. Perhaps this poorly surveyed area is No. 1412's primary home, and her visits to North America are infrequent. She has lots of white scarring on her head (see picture above) and some have speculated that those scars are the result of bumping into ice.
How many other right whales ply the waters near Iceland, or other offshore habitats? Whales like No. 1412 and Porter make us wonder.

10:30 report: Temperature warmed to 13.5 degrees F, still no wind, overcast. Groomers reporting in this Saturday morning at 5 am with 5 inches on the 24 hour stake. Just a trace over night as sky has been clear allowing the temperature to drop to 5.5 degrees. It should warm up quickly and there's no wind so wear an extra layer for the morning and peal it off later. The conditions are exceptional, yesterday brought heavy snow in spurts followed by clear blue sky and more powder than could be tracked up, run after run of fun! Groomers will be soft for long cruising and there's powder to put your tracks through. Late in the day the forecast is for a warm moist Pacific system to meet a dense artic push creating rapid snow formation, the inch plus per hour scenario.

College Hockey:Ohio State Stuns Miami
Reed Nets Four Points
OXFORD, Ohio — Steve Cady Arena is in its third season of existence and Ohio State made their sixth visit to the new Oxford venue while posting their first victory ever in the arena with a stunning 6-2 win over Miami in front of an overflow crowd of 3,642.
Miami outshot Ohio State 29-26 for the game. Both teams limited penalties. Ohio State committed four penalties, Miami was penalized twice. For Ohio State, this is their first top 20 road win since Oct. 25 at Denver. However, this is their third win against a top 10 team in five games.
"They obviously outplayed us in every aspect of the game, and they deserved to win," Miami coach Enrico Blasi said. "There's not much to say about that.
"They worked hard tonight; they were ready to play, ready to execute. When that happens sometimes you get the bounces. We made a couple of key mistakes in key areas on the ice; we gave them odd-man rushes, and they simply made the most of it."
Ohio State's Kyle Reed matched his entire season's scoring output with his fourth goal of the season in the first, fifth in the second, and sixth in the third. He also added in with an assist for a four point effort.
"I mean the first two goals were big goals," Reed said. "We needed to come out there and I was thinking before the game today, if they get the first goal, that is what they feed off of. To get the first one gave the team the momentum we needed."
With seeding in the CCHA playoffs still up for grabs, Saturday's rematch in Value City Arena in Columbus is highly important for both teams. The Buckeyes will need at least one point against the RedHawks to secure a first round bye and avoid playing at Alaska in a possible second round matchup the week before their finals. The RedHawks are tied with Michigan with both teams playing Saturday. Michigan has the tiebreaker over Miami with league wins. All CCHA teams complete their conference schedules Saturday.
"With our backs against the wall, playing a good team in a hostile environment, I am really proud how the kids played," Ohio State coach John Markell said. "We had to get two points in regulation and we got it. Now we got to go back and do it again; we need twice the effort tomorrow night."
In the first period, both goaltenders were solid. The only notch was on Miami goaltender Connor Knapp 10:45 into the first period. Reed stole a cross-ice pass in his own offensive zone from Miami's Justin Mercier and skated to the net and shot the puck past the glove of Knapp.
Dustin Carlson was perfect in the first with 12 saves, stoning Miami on several good scoring chances. Knapp had 10 saves in the period. Reed's goal was the first time the Buckeyes held a lead in the three year old arena.
Solid goaltending, however, was at a minimum in the second period. Reed scored his second goal 5:19 into the second on a two-on-one opportunity with fellow Ohio State forward Hunter Bishop.
Miami cut the lead in half 8:39 into the second when RedHawks' forward Brian Kaufman stole a Corey Toy pass in Ohio State's attack zone and skated down the ice to beat Carlson glove side. Miami tied the game at 13:09 of the second when Jarod Palmer's slap shot from the blue line rocketed past Carlson.
However, the Buckeyes answered. Kyle Reed got his third point of the game when he assisted on Sergio Somma's 10th of the season just 16 seconds later to give OSU a 3-2 lead.
"It was real important (to get that third goal)," Markell said. "It settled us back down. We knew there would be highs and low in the game. Obviously, that would have been a low had they gotten ahead of us 3-2."
"That was a big moment for them to come back right away and score," Blasi said. "They took our momentum away."
Ohio State regained their two-goal edge with 4:02 left in the second when John Albert's shot from the right faceoff circle was redirected by C.J. Severyn. Knapp had just four saves on Ohio State's seven shots on goal in the second.
Reed notched his first career hat trick and the Buckeyes' first trick of the season at 13:48 of the third when he scored on a rebound that squirted past Knapp. Miami decided to pull Knapp with just over five minutes left, but the RedHawks were unable to generate any good scoring opportunities.
"It has been a frustrating year for him, but there is not a better time for him to come up with the hat trick," Markell said of Reed.
With 2:53 remaining, senior captain Zach Pelletier scored his fourth of the season, knocking the puck into the vacated net.
Saturday's rematch could pose the RedHawks a challenge. Miami has had trouble this season in Columbus. They lost to Ohio State in a shootout on Oct. 10. Miami had two non-conference losses in the Ohio Hockey Classic in Value City Arena in early January against sub-.500 teams.
"We need to regroup, and definitely execute a little better tomorrow night than we did today," Blasi said
"We are not going to soak this one up as much," Somma said. "We have another 60 minutes and we'll go at it tomorrow."

Does your dog have a drinking problem? No, not like that, but maybe he often kicks his water dish over. Or maybe he drinks stagnant water with dead bugs floating in it. Or maybe his water dish attracts other animals into your yard. Regardless of the exact problem, the WaterDog Pet Fountain ($59) may be the solution. The new gadget attaches to outdoor spigots and uses motion sensor technology to spit water out when your dog is near. Now he'll always have a fresh, reliable source of water available to him and you won't have to worry about refilling his dish each day.

Printable View
As I'm sure many of you have heard, he has been called to Washington for a face to face with Obama tomorrow for apparently making ill remarks toward the administration.
Should he be fired or should he be scolded and allowed to go back in service?
I dont even think he should be scolded.
Yes, he should be fired...he violated the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, and common sense...
And let me add here, I detest the current Administration...but I love the military and cannot stand seeing senior leaders violate regulations...
Article 88 of the UCMJ prevents a commissioned officer from speaking the way he did...
Excerpt from Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice:
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
(1) That the accused was a commissioned officer of the United States armed forces;
(2) That the accused used certain words against an official or legislature named in the article;
(3) That by an act of the accused these words came to the knowledge of a person other than the accused; and
(4) That the words used were contemptuous, either in themselves or by virtue of the circumstances under which they were used. Note: If the words were against a Governor or legislature, add the following element
(5) That the accused was then present in the State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession of the Governor or legislature concerned.
Secondly, as a former officer, I can tell you he never should have spoken that way in front of his junior officers...AND NOT IN FRONT OF A REPORTER...
IMHO, General McChrystal is one of the best...but what kind of example would this set for everyone else if he's allowed the get away with violating the UCMJ when an NCO, for example, can be kicked out for drinking alcohol in Afghanistan...
He should be fired. You don't criticize the commander in chief even if he doesn't have a clue. Then McChrystal should walk out with his head held high and write a book.
What I don't understand is that McChrystal says he VOTED for Obama. That makes me question his judgement.
The UCMJ was created in part to keep those with knowledge from speaking out against the idiot politicians who couldn't manage a Cub Scout outing much less a war.
The original idea was to keep the military under civilian administration and prevent a military takeover of the country. However since Truman, certain politicians have taken it to mean that they are armchair Napoleons by virtue of their position.
Can you imagine the state of affairs if Roosevelt had micromanaged WWII? I can just see him explaining strategy to MacArthur and Eisenhower.
Lets see, who else's mouths got them in trouble?
I don't think I would mind too much being lumped in with those guys.
Get him a handler and keep him away from the reporters.
While I have no use for the White House resident, or any of his staff. General McChrystal violated the oath he took at commissioning. For that reason his firing would be deserved. This is not the first time he has been in trouble for opening his mouth at the wrong time, he should have learned when he didn't get canned the first time. Nothing in his job requires him to like or approve of the decisions made by those above him, his job is to advise and then follow those orders. If he can't do it, or support those in command above him, it is time to retire.
I retired in 94. I could have gone another 2 years, but with Clinton in office, I could not in good faith support my leader.
Be cautious in not crossing the line into political commentary. The thread will be closed if it goes that way.
Now for my own comment; I understand that the General violated rules. He should be punished for that. He should have never given that interview in the first place. He is a fighting man, not a silver tongued politician. True fighting men speak the truth and don't let politics influence their opinions.
As much as I am not an Obama fan, he's still the Commander-In-Chief of the US Armed Forces. He cannot allow this sort of insubordination to happen.
By this time tomorrow, McCrystal will be gone.
According to Time Magazine, McChrystal has submitted his resignation...
It's now up to the president to accept or reject that submission...
When an Aministration censures, fires, or chastises a Commanding officer for speaking the truth, they need to take a look at themselves and ask why he thinks like he does.
We have come to the point that speaking the truth will get you fired.
That's all I've got to say that is fit for this forum.
Hmmmmmmmmm Let's think about this. The opinion of what may be the Army's best General is that the Obama Team is a bunch of clowns. Oh yeah, definitely fire him, as they have so many more great choices to replace him. Maybe the ACORN guys could go handle the Taliban for us?

Where the heck did this week go?
I swear it was just Monday!
I guess it was a busy week then so let's get started!
Here on the blog we talked about another crazy incident that I had while walking Leroy.
It also appears that someone on Twitter was concerned about that post and advised me to stay away from the police because they were going to shot my dog. Settle down Twitter person.
We also talked about Leroy's barking issue and how I'm going to get help for that! And I posted our first YouTube video! See Sherman and Leroy are real dogs and they move too!
My favorite post of the week was the 2nd Annual Human Shaming Blog Hop! Thanks to everyone who joined in and don't forget, if you didn't have a chance to join the fun you still have time!
My favorite picture of the week was this one that Gracie took of Leroy and I.
I posted it on Facebook and Instagram but if you missed it here it goes!
In other news:
I made dinner 4 nights this week. I came up short on Thursday. I don't know went wrong there, so we ate Mexican.
Bobby injured his MCL at football practice on Tuesday. MCL is a Medial Collateral Ligament. I had no idea there was such a ligament and apparently it's the ligament on the side of the knee that connects the thighbone to the bone of your lower leg.
Dear Lord, please stop the ligament injuries!
Thankfully, Bobby's injury is only minor and he should be back to practicing later next week as long as he rests.
And Sherman had his first hydrotherapy session on Thursday!
I'm not gonna lie. It was a little scary. It took 3 of us to get him into the tank and I swear at first I thought he was going to have a heart attack when the water started coming in. He was quivering and tried to jump out but after a little bit of reassurance he did fine.
He had a 2 minute session that day and we will be going twice a week in the month of October and each time the sessions will increase by 2 minutes. One month from today the vet will measure his muscle mass in his back legs and see if its improving and we will go from there. I promise to get a video as soon as Sherman is more relaxed.
I've also added in a new routine during the week since I'm becoming claustrophobic in the house. A few days during the week, at lunchtime, Leroy and I will take a ride down to the local ball fields and walk around the track. It's nice to get out and we've met some very friendly people. Wednesday we met a man named Dan. Dan was there alone going for a stroll but we talked for 20 minutes about his Terrier that he has at home. It appears as though Dan's dog is the grandson of the spokesdog for Mighty Dog. How fun! Oh…and Dan likes to talk……. a lot.
So that's about it for this week. Hope you have a great weekend!

Tires us out reading! Love the photo. Looks like you have a photographer in the making.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
I've been going crazy just in the house this week. Lexie was sick for 3 weeks do we have been resting and making sure she is getting better. Mica is going crazy for woods walk but couldn't. And the entire outside back of my house is covered with thousands of stink bugs and they come in every time I open the door Yuk! Love the picture:-)

We like the photo of you and Leroy too. What is it with your family and knees? Usually it is ear infections that about wipe out a family, but with you, it is the knees. Watch out for lonely people that like to talk. Once they have found you they will seek you out again and again…drives us nuts, but we know who to avoid.

Oh my, all I could think when seeing the photo is: is Leroy really that big, or are you tiny? It's a great photo!
Oh yes, watch out for those talkers….they can really suck up a lot of your time. I do bookkeeping as a side business, and my clients also seem to think I'm their bartender…..all I want is to get their paperwork, but I also get to hear their life stories. In detail. Sometimes, it's interesting, most of the time it's not!

Hey Jen, tell Gracie her photo is beautiful. The girl got skills!
Have a great week
Just catching up with my reading for the week and THANKS for the shout-out to PetsMove. We really appreciate it. I hope Sherman and Leroy are joining up!
I'm glad to see Sherman getting the water therapy. We've used it with most of our dogs – particularly Becca who had been a service dog and came to us with a fused spine and two old ACL injuries. We got her in the treadmill (she loved it and would play fetch in it). It did wonders for her. She was really able to build up some much needed muscle mass and stamina. We used it on our Lab Sally after ACL injuries and shoulder dysplasia…yes our dogs are athletic, but injury prone. I think he will do great on it. And anxious to hear what the AKC trainer says about the barking. Neither Jack or Maggie bark much, but Becca was a barker like Leroy – just likes the sound of their own voice.
Thanks again for the mention of PetsMove.
Your week sounds infinitely more interesting than mine! I spent it going to work, attending school, studying, and feeling extremely stressed because I had my first test of the semester.

I've been testing this foundation for a few weeks now. From the Nixie foundations I wanted to test drive, I ended up really liking this one a lot.
The consistency of the foundation lies more in the realm of a thinner formulation. To compare, it is thinner than MAC's Studio Fix Fluid. It's an easy to blend foundation and the shade I tried, Olive 2, had enough olive undertones so that it didn't purely bring out the yellow undertones of my skin. I'm not too familiar with the range of colours from Nixie but I would recommend contacting their customers service if you can't determine the shade that matches your skin tone from their swatches.
A few days ago, I tried on a mask that made my skin react violently and made my skin red and scaly. That evening, I had to go somewhere and look less like I'd been burned by sitting in a furnace and as human as possible. I was desperate and put on this foundation. I was very happy with how it worked.
The foundation has a satin finish and you can matte it out with some translucent powder easily. It covered up most of the redness nicely and toned down the angry burn marks I got from reacting to the face mask. Overall, I'd say it provides medium coverage on its own that you can sheer out for less coverage. You can also build up coverage but I don't think you can get truly full coverage. The foundation didn't irritate the sensitive areas of my skin (and I had a lot) and in the warm weather (around 80F/27C) didn't make me feel like I was wearing a heavy mask. Granted, I haven't tested it out in warmer weather but the foundation didn't itch due to the heat.
Another plus is that it held up throughout the day. I didn't wear a primer and the foundation covered well into the evening. The best thing in my opinion about this foundation is that it didn't make me break out. I test drove this foundation for a few weeks and it has fortunately enough not broken me out any time I've worn it.
What really convinced me to give rave reviews for this foundation is how my skin reacted after I forgot to take off my make-up and went for a jog. I know my skin and if make-up clogs my pores I wake up the next day with massive zits-in-progress. After my sweaty jog (I am very proud of the distance/how long I jogged by the way), I came back dreading my skin's reaction. However, while my skin is still recovering from my face-mask idiocy it hasn't become a clogged mess. I haven't broken out from this foundation days after the infamous jog. I realize that everyone's skin reacts differently but my experiences were very positive.
Taking off the foundation is simple enough. I used a make-up remover first and then washed it off with my regular cleanser. This seemed to wash off the foundation and since my skin hasn' reacted with angry pimples I'd say this was effective in taking off the foundation.
For reference, my skintone in MAC is NC45 and the Nixie Olive 2 was a match.
I've been testing this foundation for a few weeks now. From the Nixie foundations I wanted to test drive, I ended up really liking this one a lot.

Lou Rawls: Willow Weep for Me
Willow Weep for Me
Lou Rawls with Les McCann Ltd.
Stormy Monday (aka I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water) (Capitol SM 1714)
Lou Rawls (vocals), Les McCann (piano), Leroy Vinnegar (bass),
Ron Jefferson (drums).
Composed by Ann Ronell.
Recorded: Hollywood, CA, January 1962
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Although he'd made his first recordings in a gospel group during 1954, and was subsequently seasoned as a backup vocalist with, among others, R&B legend Sam Cooke, Stormy Monday marked Lou Rawls's debut album as a leader. On this track, the silky throated singer puts his indelible stamp on a well-worn standard. Nicely accompanied by the soulful blues pianist Les McCann and his trio, Rawls makes an auspicious entrance into the world of jazz and blues with this gutsy rendition.
A deliberately slow tempo set by McCann's blues-tinged piano intro forces Rawls to use his evocative voice to wring out the words in his most soulful way. His delivery creates perfect pathos with his addition of "oooooouu cover me"—emphasis on the elongated "ooooouuu"—sung in a delightfully heart-wrenching way.
After the first chorus, McCann adroitly steps up the tempo, playing a more upbeat blues solo that releases the tension built from the graver tones set earlier by the singer. Rawls swings back into the second verse, quickly adding an element of hope that wisely rescues the performance from melodrama. But this is after all the blues, which he and McCann know better than most. They skillfully return to the slower tempo, allowing Rawls to extract his last bit of angst from the performance. With his beautifully sensuous voice, Rawls heightens the drama, ending on a smoothly sustained note that fades into nothingness.

The Love Hearts Ruffle One-Piece ($210) by Lauren Moffatt looks like a swimsuit we could've worn when we were six. So why are we still coveting it? It could be because we still love anything with hearts and ruffles on it, or it could be because we want a suit that says we're ready to have some fun. Maybe it'll bring out the kid in us this summer and we'll brave the high diving board for a cannonball into the pool!

Attention baby boomers and senior citizens: Did you know that it's been four years since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare was passed? And after all the town hall protests, Tea Party denunciations, Supreme Court challenges, and enrollment gaffes, ACA still remains the law of the land.
How did the states fare in implementing the law's provisions during that time? Not too badly, according to health policy expert, Deborah Bachrach, who spoke at "The Medicaid Expansion: State Considerations and Strategies" panel discussion held by the Center for the Study of Politics and Government at Cowles Auditorium, August 5, 2014. The states that had begun to expand medical coverage to their constituents as a moral and economic necessity fared best, but already by 2012, those states that had been reluctant to adopt Obamacare "realized that they were in the driver's seat" so far as how their health care delivery systems could be remodeled.
Some panelists went even further. Former Arkansas Medicaid Director Andy Allison called his state's conversion of its health care system "a dramatic, natural experiment taking place" that is "not just a political compromise," but makes "the [medical] marketplace more competitive." Former Wisconsin Medicaid Director, Brett Davis, agreed, calling the variety of state implementation schemes all part of "the laboratory of experiments that are happening" which comprises the "beauty of America."
More circumspect as representatives of what moderator Prof. Lawrence Jacobs deemed "the best health care system in the country," state representative Matt Dean and Minnesota DHS commissioner Lucinda Jesson agreed that "states are the laboratories of democracy," but more work needs to be done for Minnesota "to move forward," expand "the private market," and enable the state's silo system of small health networks "to be more integrative."
That more practical work needs to be done there can be no doubt. Only when Arkansas guaranteed by law that primary doctors would get paid for their investment in the state's new health care system did WalMart become one of the co-payers. Davis agreed that any perception of the new system as "Medicaid expansion" "wouldn't pass in Wisconsin." Arkansas' four-fold increase in younger enrollees showed how expanding the coverage base influences health care results, but as Bachrach observed, "most of the debate ignores the practical."
ACA's impact may reflect a "paradigm shift from welfare to coverage," but the question remains how long until its full implementation is achieved. Jesson pointed out that Medicaid, created by the Social Security Amendments in 1965, took 14 years to be adopted nationally; everyone on Tuesday's panel felt complete adoption of ACA would be much quicker. Can America's current and future senior citizens wait for these health care policy wonks to transform the uncommitted states' coverage plans while more and more multinational corporations move offshore to escape fulfilling their social commitments to their workers? Stay tuned.

rest assured, were talking about a national strong policy, a national program that would be operated by the Department of Health and Human Services
that would be competitive.and you have enough participants, insureds in the program in order to make it large enough to compete. And there would be a one time infusion of capital in this program, but then it would be on its own. And the person would then have to pay his or her premiums based on their ability to pay, but it would be a major nationwide program that would be able to compete.
Well, first of all the important thing to understand is that there is going to be some cost initially up front to make these changes. Democrats are committed to cover all of that cost but over time the entire health care system will work in a much better, more efficient way for everyone to reduce cost to business, to reduce cost to the government. Its like retrofitting your home to be more energy efficient. You may have to come out of pocket, $5,000 or $10,000 initially, but your electricity bill goes down by 30% for the rest of the 20 or 30 years you live in the home. Thats the concept, so it really is disingenuous of Republicans to say, or anyone to say that you know, the bill costs [sic]. Yes, there are going to be some upfront costs. Democrats and the President have committed to cover those costs and thats where the struggle is now.
Philip Klein at the American Spectator took a look at the Baucus costs and found something interesting; the 10 years of costs really only included 4 years of the Baucus program being full implemented. In the words of Desi Arnaz, Oh Lucy, you forgot something!
"Or look around and see all the make-work road construction, for another example of gov't waste."
"If the program works, why not put it in one State and evaluate it over 5-10 years before turning the Country on its ear?"

Baldwin County, Ala., sits on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. Photographer Richard Nilsen has made two sets of photographs there: The first looks at Baldwin County Route 13, which runs north and south through some wild, rural and bucolic countryside; the second looks at the pitcher plant bog at Weeks Bay in the southern part of the county.
It is called "Southern Baroque," because of the neo-Baroque visual style of the photographs, and the unruly manner of the natural growth of the South.
Richard Nilsen was art critic for The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, Ariz., for 25 years. He was also the classical music critic, the dance critic, the opera critic, the architecture critic and the backup movie critic. He has written for every section of the newspaper except the Business section. He has been a photographer for more than 40 years. Now retired, he lives in the Blue Ridge.

A pair of students filming a college project said they captured footage of a Loch Ness Monster-like creature in Ireland.
"Looks like we have our own Loch Ness Monster -- any experts out there?" Melarkey said in posting the clip to YouTube.
YouTube comments suggest the object could be a whale, sea debris or an intentional hoax, a possibility Melarkey denied.
"Can't believe people are suggesting this is just a viral promotion for our college project which is only two minutes long," he said.
The modern myth of the Loch Ness monster started 80 years ago, with a headline in the Inverness Courier reading, "Strange spectacle on Loch Ness," detailing the accounts of a couple who claimed to have seen a large creature swimming in the loch, The Guardian reported.

Thursday's screening introduced by director Jonathan Lee
Sunday's screening Introduced by Tony Hoagland, poet and professor, University of Houston creative writing program
Author of the legendary bestseller Growing Up Absurd, Paul Goodman (1911–1972) was also a bisexual poet, family man, pacifist, visionary, cofounder of Gestalt therapy and a moral compass for many in the burgeoning counterculture of the 1960s. Paul Goodman Changed My Life immerses audiences in an era of high intellect, when New York was peaking culturally and artistically. Using a treasure trove of archival multimedia—selections from Goodman's poetry (read by Garrison Keillor and Edmund White); quotes from Susan Sontag, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Noam Chomsky; plentiful footage of Goodman himself; plus interviews with his family, peers, and activists–director/producer Jonathan Lee and producer/editor Kimberly Reed (Prodigal Sons) have woven together a rich portrait of an intellectual heavyweight whose ideas are long overdue for rediscovery.
"Jonathan Lee interviews a slew of artists and literati for whom Goodman stood as a seminal figure, while showcasing his famously intransigent personality in excerpts from his public appearances. The documentary will reawaken interest in a fascinating, multifaceted figure."—Variety
Jonathan Lee served as producer of the Fear of Disclosure Project, a series of videos that explore the act of revealing that one is HIV+ or has AIDS, which began with a video by the late Phil Zwickler and David David Wojnarowicz. Under Lee's direction, the project produced and distributed (In)Visible Women, by Ellen Spiro and Marina Alvaez; Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien (No Regret), by Marlon T. Riggs; and Out in Silence & Not a Simple Story, by Christine Choy. From 1995-2003, Lee was the founder/director of the Maine Speakout Project, a statewide organization that trained and deployed volunteer speakers to share their personal experiences as sexual minority Mainers with mainstream groups throughout the state. In 2003, Lee returned to New Yorck City to begin working on Paul Goodman Changed My Life. He is presently developing a nonprofit retreat center, The Machiah Center, for activists and scholars, in New Gloucester, Maine.
Tony Hoagland has published three collections of poetry: Sweet Ruin (a winner of the Brittingham Prize), Donkey Gospel (a winner of the James Laughlin second book award), and What Narcissism Means to Me, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He has received grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment on the Arts, and the Academy of Arts and Letters. His poems and essays about poetry have appeared widely; he currently teaches in the graduate writing program of the University of Houston and in the Warren Wilson MFA program.

UNCW men notch easy win against UNCG
Published: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 9:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 10:39 p.m.
The 3-pointers started swishing for UNCW guard Craig Ponder in warm-ups on Wednesday night. When his first one fell in the game, he knew a good night was ahead.
Photo Galleries
In a torrid first half, Ponder was perfect on five 3-point attempts, Keith Rendleman dominated the inside again and the Seahawks remained unbeaten in Trask Coliseum with a convincing 87-73 victory over UNC Greensboro.
Rendleman turned in his 26th career double-double (23 points, 12 rebounds) and Ponder finished with 19 points as the Seahawks improved to 5-6 in front of 3,497 fans.
Rendleman buried 15-foot jumpers, scored on strong moves in the post, and slammed down two ferocious dunks to help UNCW shoot a season-high 50.8 percent. Behind Ponder's effort, the Seahawks also matched a season best with nine 3-pointers.
"My main thing was just to post up on the block, and coaches told me to face up and drive by them," Rendleman said. "They didn't come with the double-team as much as I'm used to and I took advantage of that."
Ponder knew driving opportunities would be there against the Spartans, one of the worst defensive teams in the nation. His penetration forced the defenders to give him room.
"We did a good job of spacing on the offensive end and that got everybody a lot of open shots," Ponder said. "Our coaches boosted our confidence and we were able to take them off the dribble."
With Christmas break on the horizon, UNCW coach Buzz Peterson was concerned. But he liked what he saw, especially a 17-4 first half run fueled by defense that sparked the Seahawks to a 49-28 halftime lead, their largest this season.
UNCW held UNCG (2-7) to a season-low four 3-pointers and 36.8 percent shooting.
"I tell you what I like this team, I really like what they're doing," Peterson said. "They're coming around. If we can keep our focus on that defensive end we're going to keep getting better and better."
Former New Hanover star Freddie Jackson continued to solidify his role as the Seahawks' defensive stopper. During his 26 minutes, he hounded UNCG guard Trevis Simpson, who finished with 19 points despite rarely getting a clean look when Jackson was defending him.
Jackson also added 14 points and five rebounds.
"Playing good defense gives the whole team the energy that we need because we get a turnover or play good defense and force a bad shot," Jackson said. "Then we get out on the break and that's when we're at our best."
UNCG coach Wes Miller felt Rendleman's inside presence made UNCW difficult to defend. He didn't like the way his team guarded the Seahawks screens or how they responded after falling behind by double figures.
"I thought they did a really, really good job of establishing Rendleman early," Miller said. "It's pretty simple. You look at the stat sheet, and you've got to prepare for that guy. But we did not do a very good job."
Cedrick Williams tied his career high with 15 rebounds and also blocked four shots for the Seahawks, who headed home for the holiday. They'll return Dec. 26th to prepare for a Dec. 29th game at Campbell, in their final nonconference tuneup before CAA action begins.

According to a Feb. 17 report from PWInsider.com, CM Punk remains under contract with the WWE and has not been granted an early release.
Punk, 35, has not been officially let go from the WWE, even though he hasn't appeared at any of the promotion's events since last month's Royal Rumble.
Rumors started that he was granted an early release after his girlfriend, A.J. Lee, didn't appear at any of the WWE house shows held over the weekend. However, it was revealed that she was simply given the weekend off, and it had nothing to do with Punk's contractual situation.
Punk's contract is set to legitimately expire this July, but the WWE is apparently interested in opening the lines of communication back up with the disgruntled superstar.
The WWE still hopes to bring Punk back before WrestleMania XXX, as he's one of the promotion's biggest stars and Wrestlemania is their biggest annual event.
WWE Examiner Michael Essany reports that Punk may return to the promotion as early as March 3, when the WWE hits the superstar's hometown of Chicago, Illinois for a live taping of Monday Night Raw.
Punk's exit from the WWE might even be part of an elaborate storyline, since his image is still up under the WWE.com "Superstars" page.
Analysis: If Punk does come back to the WWE, the March 3 Monday Night Raw taping in Chicago would make perfect sense as a spot for him to a make his grant return.
WWE Universe loves CM Punk, but he's especially beloved in his hometown of Chicago. The crowd would go absolutely bonkers if Punk made a surprise return to the ring next month in Chicago.
Punk has had his mini-vacation from pro wrestling, being that he hasn't competed in close to a month. Hopefully he'll return to the WWE fold at the Chicago "Raw," and maybe even start a feud with Triple H that could hype up a Wrestlemania XXX confrontation between the two superstars.

Police officers are getting training for an easy-to-use drug that can reverse a heroin overdose.
Arming more first responders with potentially life-saving drugs can help save more lives, said Dr. Thomas Tulisiak, president of Medina Hospital.
"200 individuals in Cuyahoga County died last year of a heroin overdose, there were 60 in Lorain County," Tulisiak said. "Right here in Medina County, 20 individuals died of a heroin overdose in 2013."
The Cleveland Clinic, which operates Medina Hospital, partnered with Summa Lake Medina to offer training to police officers on how to administer Narcan, the brand name of the synthetic narcotic naloxone that blocks the effects of opiates such as heroin on the nervous system.
At Summa Lake Medina medical center Friday afternoon, officers from Medina, Medina and Montville townships got training on how to administer the drug.
Ohio passed a law earlier this month allowing police to administer the drug following a successful pilot program in Lorain County.
Medina Mayor Dennis Hanwell pushed state leaders to pass a law allowing police to administer Narcan, citing success made with a pilot program in Lorain County. In the first five months of the pilot program, Narcan was used 30 times and revived 28 people.
"It's our hope and prayer that this is going to save lives," Hanwell told officers at the training.
Officers can carry Narcan in their duty bags. It is administered nasally where it's absorbed into the body through the nasal membranes.
At the training, officers were told to be prepared to deal with an agitated person after administering the drug. Narcan reverses the overdose effect, and the victim can suddenly become alert and suffer sudden withdrawal from the drug.
"If they're a chronic user and they're withdrawing suddenly — they will not be your friend," said Dr. John Surso, who serves as the physician for the Medina Police Department, director of Summa Lake Medina and operates a family practice through the Cleveland Clinic's Medina Hospital facility.
After police administer the drug, Summa and Cleveland Clinic will provide the three police departments with replacement Narcan for the next time they may encounter an overdose victim.
Surso is hoping to expand the program countywide in every department.
Medina Police Chief Patrick Berarducci said the Narcan will be carried by officers every day and used the same way other first-responder tools like trauma kits and automatic electronic defibrillators are used by police officers. Berarducci said officers who arrive ahead of EMS units at a scene want to be able to administer medical care to serious and critical patients.
"We're meeting the emotional needs of our officers as well," Berarducci said. "It's really hard for them to lose someone — they want to help."
Berarducci said the desire to help includes overdose victims. He said the lives of addicts are just as valuable as those who suffer other medical emergencies.
"People don't choose to be an addict — they make an initial mistake that leads to addiction," Berarducci said. "You never know what a life you save is going to turn around and be."
