Not only have Mr. Hollande and former President Nicolas Sarkozy engaged in this form of hijacking, but so, too, has Marine Le Pen of the National Front (F.N.), who dismissed the Gaullist Union for a Popular Movement (U.M.P.) for "betraying" its founder's vision for France, all the while comparing herself to the general who, like her, was distrusted by the Left and Right. At the same time, Steeve Briois, F.N. mayor of Hénin-Beaumont, cited Jaurès during his campaign, while for Ms. Le Pen's second-in-command (and partner), Louis Aliot, Jaurès would now vote for the F.N.

This is a bit like asking which car is best for driving. If we make the reasonable assumption that people buy what they feel is best for them, then the answer can come from market share. WebLogic and WebSphere are currently running neck-and-neck for leading the market share. JBoss has a loyal following, largely because it is free. JRun, Borland App Server, and Oracle 9i also have a number of adherents, as do something like 20 other app servers.

I always see weblogic and websphere and since I've been doing j2ee that is all I have worked with professionally. Personally, I have checked out JBoss and JRun and some otheres. I like JRun quite a bit and you can download a developers version for Windows which can do anything the Enterpirse edition does but it only accepts requests from the machine that it is installed on.
No more rhymes! I mean it!

I am seriously thinking about JBoss due to my preference for Open Source Projects. Don't you think it fulfills all requirements to use it production level or big enterprises also?

kaspirant, you look beautiful in the sneak peak photos! can't wait to see the official ones! you mentioned they are from your dad's camera...i hope that situation was calm and happy and loving, and that he got over his initial ugly response.
Thanks for asking...it was a little uncomfortable at times...My pastor asked him if he would walk me down the aisle...and he said "she never asked me" So pastor came to me and said "It sounded like he would do it if you ask him to. So minutes before we are supposed to start he has dad come over and I ask him. His answer was "I'm here because I love you but I want no part of this." and he turned and walked away.:
So pastor kinda just stared at him ain disbelief and gave me a hug.
Other than that he was on his best behavior and was very cordial. It was nice having him there.
I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am a long time voyeur of MDC and have just started posting more. My family recently moved so having MDC has been so helpful since I really don't have a network of other moms where I am. So, thank you all for the common wealth of wisdom you provide. I hope that I also contribute to that pot-o-knowledge as I participate more and more.
Flapjack, I would love to get some additional information on eczema. We use Auqafor on dd, but there are still flare-ups. I think our culprit is tomato, but it's not completely pinned down.

Kaspirant - I'm sorry your dad was still being all angsty on your wedding day. But it sounds like you're dealing with it well, and you DO look extravagantly happy in your photos
Kaspirant, you need to change your sig now too! That makes me really sad that your dad wouldn't walk you down the aisle. I mean it's good that he came and was cordial and all, but I am just kind of mortified that *any* parent of any child could feel so conditional in their acceptance and love.

i mostly sat, popping arnica and chamomilla and read unconditional parenting, which by the way is going to save my kids lives. im such a spaz sometimes, despte my very good intentions... and i really needed this reminder why sending a kid to time out and saying to elwynn not so nice things about hurting his sister and offering things if he will only eat one bite of dinner and so on is so totally horrible.
i feel like the most horrible mother of all time now. so, it was fitting to be reading the book while being tortured with needles jabbing me nonstop for hours at a time. i friggin deserve the pain. if not the beautiful outcome, since i really truly do try to be unconditionally loving to them.

Fern, I haven't read Unconditional Parenting, but the only parenting books that suggest perfection in parents are the ones who also suggest being mean and horrible to your kids. By making mistakes, you show how to fix them, and how to be honest and how to be the change you wish to achieve in yourself. Good enough is good enough. The tattoo sounds gorgeous, btw
Kaspirant~ I hear you on the being at work issue. I struggle with being a working mama, then coming home and sometimes acting like a stressed out sleep-deprived b*tch who isn't even *present* in the way I should be at home. Like frantically trying to get dishes washed and laundry done and not even noticing that my dd is trying to tell me a really cute and important story about "chickens. eating. bock, bock." I need to slow down and smell the chickens
Kaspirant, move to England. Then we can get together all the time (and there's golden handshakes for science teachers...)

Sydney: Australian Test cricket discard Michael Slater was told on Thursday he may have tattooed himself with the wrong number. The 74-Test opener had been led to believe he was the 356th player to represent Australia and had the number tattooed on his body and the personalised number plate MS356 made for his new red Ferrari.
|But the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) said on Thursday he may in fact be the 357th Test player behind Brendon Julian, with whom he made his debut against England in Manchester in 1993. Slater had assumed that because he was higher up the batting order and Australia batted first, that he would be listed ahead of Julian. But the ACB said Test numbering was done alphabetically, which leaves Julian in front. Slater, however, remained adamant he was still number 356. "It will say that in the stats," he said. And official ACB statistician Ross Dundas said there was no clear way of determining Slater's position. "There is no hard and fast rule about this," Dundas said. "Most people would assume you would do it alphabetically." The ACB website, baggygreen.com.au, lists Julian ahead of Slater on the official list of Test caps although Julian came in at number eight in that 1993 Test whereas Slater opened with Mark Taylor.

The Bulldogs? Given their druthers they would have played for-real today as games are more exciting than practices. Then again this preseason's scrimmages have shown the highest entertainment quotient of Coach John Cohen's tenure so keeping the club focused hasn't been any issue from the senior backstop's vantage point.
"I think we look really good right now," said Slauter. "Everyone is getting ready for the season."
When Slauter talks about looking good, he refers first not to those areas where excellence is expected of the 2013 Diamond Dogs. Oh, to be sure the defense ought again be outstanding; and while they've had some rocky scrimmage stints confidence in pitching is secure. What has increased the buzz these past two weeks is in the third aspect.
"I think the biggest sign everybody can see is offense looks good. Guys are putting good swings on balls. It's not just a few guys, it's one-through-nine really."
Now that is a report guaranteed to fall on eager ears in Bulldog country. What the 2012 team achieved, winning forty games and finishing on the plus-side of the SEC record, with an erratic at best offense ought be honored for a long, long time. Still Cohen makes clear his goal of improved batting and scoring this year, especially so to give a revamped rotation time to settle in and everyone on the pitching staff to find their roles. Or, just for the pressure an upgraded offense puts on opposing teams.
So watching more consistent contact all through the order, with a welcome mix of average and extra-base punch is rewarding. "It's definitely a confidence boost," Slauter said. "After the year we had offensively obviously a lot of us were disappointed, we know we're better than that. And we're here grinding through everything and here to prove how good we really are."
Naturally the flip-side concern is whether this signals a drop-off in pitching prowess. Slauter doesn't see it that way. While no one has stepped forward and established themself as, say, the 2013 version of Chris Stratton, the potential is here in several veterans. The larger point Slauter makes is State now has swingers able to beat guys who have SEC wins and saves on their resumes.
"You can't give enough credit to this pitching staff. These guys come in and do their job. But you get guys like your starters who are out there for innings at a time, and we've seen them multiple times throughout the fall and the spring; when you put a group of good offensive guys like we have now things are bound to click and work for you."
Speaking of work, no Dog labored longer last season than Slauter. As a juco transfer he started 62 games behind the dish and saw duty in the other two. No days off, in other words. His easy efficiency as a receiver with a wide variety of pitchers new to him, and vice-versa, as well as just plain grit over the long grind made him in many minds the unofficial MVP of the season. It came at a price too, in the form of off-season knee surgery to correct a nagging problem Slauter had just played through without complaint.
Now with a week to go before starting the new grind, "I feel good," Slauter said, though he still sees a few rough edges from rust. "It's been different because I really struggled in the fall coming back from the surgery and all that. I had to reprove myself, especially with all the new guys. It's been eye-opening for me and just makes me not want to take everything for granted."
Last season it was easy taking Slauter for granted. Or better said maybe, it was too hard to pull him off the field. Cohen and Coach Jake Wells will find it easier here in 2013, for the best reason. Senior Nick Ammirati had an excellent fall and has picked right up here in preseason. Nobody is forecasting what sort of split this season might see…yet all acknowledge there is no need for Slauter to try an iron-man act again. Even if he wanted to.
"You can say playing every game is awesome. But it only makes the team better when you've got another guy you can split time with. And you can keep both of us healthy instead of wearing down one or the other. And it makes the team better when you have two catchers you can trust."
What is making Slauter better in fact is the push from Ammirati, an outstanding stopper with the mitt and a quick-trigger against the running game. Slauter said it has forced him to improve a few spots in his own game.
"And that's what it takes for everyone in this program. It's not just me, it's everybody that has that mentality." Where Slauter hopes to make the biggest jump as an upperclassman is with the club, after batting .232 with three homers and 23 RBI. True, a steady receiver and cool head in the mask is worth a lot of average points. But it's always great to carry one's weight at the plate.
"Coach Cohen and I worked on some things over the winter and I really bought into what he had to say. That's helped me out, and I think you're seeing it with a lot of the guys. I'm not the only one." That's a fact, as all veterans are showing sharper swings and more importantly better eyes at the plate this preseason. Carry this over into the real season and State hopes for an order with few soft spots. Or none even, as Slauter claims.
"We've got different aspects of our game that can help us out tremendously," he said. "Everybody wants to be the best we can be and win a national title." Bold words but then that is what February is for.
The Diamond Dogs continue their last scrimmage weekend with games Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. Not that a cold front nor forecasts are cooling the collective fever for Opening Day.
"We're ready to get things going," said Slauter. "When we've got something this special, knowing what we can do this year, it's hard to be down about anything."

Now for the money: We're thrilled to announce that we grossed more than $20,000—an all time record for our food justice dinner. These funds are critical for us, as they are assisting to fund the two positions we are now in the process of hiring for, our Organizing Co-director, and AGRA Watch Organizer. Increasing staff capacity is the number one way we can become more powerful to expose the colonial practices of the Gates Foundation and advocate for local economies everywhere.

Hey this is a good idea: "Britain must produce more of its own food to help prevent a rapidly rising world population going hungry, Environment Secretary Hilary Benn has said.
Mr Benn said the country had "taken food for granted" for too long and said urgent action was needed by farmers, scientists and consumers to avert a future crisis. Read more here.
The Government is publishing a detailed strategy which is expected to commit the UK to play its part in a UN target to boost production by 70 per cent by 2050.
Mr Benn is urging consumers to be more aware of the environmental impact of where their food came from, eat seasonal produce and be prepared to try less familiar, British-grown, fruit and vegetables." See video here.

Explorer of the Seas
4 out of 5 stars
Download the FREE app and meet your ship mates!
You can use credit card or US cash for your onboard account. Just be aware they charge a random amount at the end and often banks will be a hold on your card for a few days. That's why we put cash down. The islands will take small notes ($5) but Noumea is mainly Francs or credit card. The tchou tchou train takes AUD cash.
Hi again all!
Just want to talk money... I just need someone to clarify for me how it works? I have a credit card can i make an on board account using that? Also do we need cash on the ship to exchange currency for when we get on the islands? Thank you in advance from a first time cruiser. 😊
A little confused
I was told on booking that Explorer of the Seas had a babies and tots day care area but I can't find it on any website.
Also was told they have a splash zone but I can't find that either.
Has anyone been on this ship that can help. Also if no splash zone how can I take my daughter swimming (1yr old and wears nappies)
You can guarantee there'll be a tropical night
Usually the first night at an island. Often there's 60's/70's night. Not many people dress up but our group of 14 does.
The entertainment are usually based around singing. There's comedians also. I've never seen a bad show. They are great entertainers.
Me too!!! It's a first for my partner and I on a cruise...It was always on my bucket list and after my parents went 2years ago,we decided to finally do it as my mum,especially,HIGHLY recommended it! 😊 It's also a special occasion for us too as the day we leave is our 8 year anniversary together and 3 year anniversary since we got engaged,yes,the same day! 😜 8 days for 8 years as I like to say! 😂
Casual clothes as mostly beaches. Something for formal night if you want to participate. Something to wear if you go to the speciality restaurants. There is wifi at some ports much cheaper than onboard. Drink packages can be pre ordered or you can buy onboard on 1st day they have the packages available to order. See you on there you will love explorer we have cousins coming on for the 1st time also :)

Paignton is a busy resort town and the population heavily made up of families and retired couples. There are some good beaches and excellent schools and yes there is much greenery, especially on the outskirts bordering the South Hams and River Dart. It is quieter than neighbouring Torquay which has a bigger town centre and more cosmopolitan population . Overall Paignton is a great place to live.Answered on Jul 2 2009, Report content
Hi, We would suggest that you get in touch with local estate agents in order to get some background about the area. You can search for agents using the 'find agents' tab on the top of the Zoopla Page. We hope this helps.Answered on Oct 1 2013, Report content

Quantum thinking and speaking
Here is a link to an article from New Scientist that tries to relate the mathematics of the quantum world to human interaction. An explanation, in effect, of our fuzzy way of going about things. It casts an interesting light on the puzzle I have as a playwright - the sheer impossibility of capturing or reproducing human speech in all its wide, broken rambling, halting form but while still managing to convey some sort of meaning. I have never managed to find a way of notating speech in anything resembling a realistic, believable way. Pinter arguably came the closest to making this work but he still had to resort to a rather mannered "pinteresque" approach. Of course, a playwright does not necessarily want to reproduce everyday speech exactly. It would be massively tedious to the audience, and probably totally incomprehensible but there is an inbuilt urge towards getting closer than we have managed up to now. The reason being that we may wish to describe in our plays a more realistic way of describing the trains of thought of our characters. And those are inexorably linked to the way they speak. I need to read the article several more times to get some deeper insight but I like its drift.

The saga of the ACORN -- which we have been following here since Congress defunded it in September -- continues today, when the House Republicans hold a forum on the embattled community organizing group.
Ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Darrell Issa, R-Calif., will lead the discussion regarding ACORN at 2:30 p.m. It is not a committee meeting, so no Democratic members will be in attendance. Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee also will participate.
"The more we learn about the inner-working of ACORN and its affiliates, the more apparent it becomes that this organization is intentionally structured to deceive and mislead the American people," Issa said in a statement.
Speakers at the forum include former ACORN organizer and founder of Truth to Power Gregory Hall, deputy director of the Criminal Division for the Louisiana Attorney General's Office David Caldwell, Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita, and former Federal Election Commission member and senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation Hans A. von Spakovsky.
ACORN's deputy director of National Operations Brian Kettenring said he is not aware of any invitation for an ACORN representative to attend the forum.
According to a statement from Issa's office, the forum will help examine "new details that have come to light regarding the inner-workings of ACORN."
According to Kurt Bardella, Issa's press secretary, some of those "new details" include "billing documents that show how ACORN Housing gets names and addresses from Citibank to give free housing help, but then lobbies these individuals to pay $10 per month membership fees to ACORN, thus making money for purportedly non-profit work."
Bardella also released an internal ACORN memo that discussed a possible name change.
"The name ACORN has been dragged through the mud, and we are coming across a number of people who want to work with us, want to support the work we have been doing, but feel they can only do so if they change our name," says the document.
Politico has a PDF version of the document here.
Update at 11:30 a.m. ET: Alyson Chadwick, communications director for ACORN Housing, said Bardella's allegations are false.
Chadwick says the group does not require membership and worked with Citibank to help renegotiate mortgages. She added that ACORN and ACORN Housing are two separate entities and do not engage in political activities.

Changes in Actinomycetes community structure under the influence of
Applied microbiology
The global area under brinjal cultivation is expected to be 1.85 million hectare with total fruit production about 32 million metric tons (MTs). Brinjal cultivars are susceptible to a variety of stresses that significantly limit productivity. The most important biotic stress is caused by the Brinjal fruit and shoot Borer (FSB) forcing farmers to deploy high doses of insecticides; a matter of serious health concern. Therefore, to control the adverse effect of insecticides on the environment including the soil, transgenic technology has emerged as the effective alternative. However, the reports, regarding the nature of interaction of transgenic crops with the native microbial community are inconsistent. The effect of a

Experimental site and crop description
Field trials were conducted in the agricultural farm of Indian Institute of Vegetable Research (I. I.V.R.), Varanasi, India (25° 08' N latitude, 83° 03' E longitude, 90 m from sea level, average temperature maximum 33°C and minimum 20°C). The site has been used for intensive vegetable production but not for any transgenic crop plantation prior to the present study (during 2010–2011). The soil (WHC 39.9%) is pale brown silty loam (sand 30%, silt 70%, clay 2%), Inceptisol with pH 6.7, organic C (0.73%) and, total N (0.09%)
Ten- days old seedlings of VRBT-8
Soil sampling and analyses
Soil sampling (in triplicate for each sampling stage) was done at different crop growth stages (branching, flowering and maturation) including pre-vegetation and post-harvest stage during the consecutive years (2010 and 2011). Rhizospheric soil samples were collected from the branching, flowering and maturation stage of non-

Soil DNA extraction
Total genomic DNA (in triplicate at each sampling stage) was extracted from 0.5 g rhizosphere soil using Fast DNA® spin kit (MP Biol, USA) combined with Fast DNA prep bead beater according to manufacturer's protocol. The genomic DNA was eluted in 50 μl DNA eluting solution (DES) and stored (-20°C) for subsequent analysis. The concentration and purity of extracted DNA was determined using Nanodrop spectrophotometer (ND 1000, Nano Drop Technologies, Inc., Wilmington, DE, USA).

Do you do a lot of entertaining in the summer? We do a lot more entertaining in the summer and we are always serving some kind of refreshing drink. For this review I received the Hexagonal Glass Drink Dispenser with a stand! I was quite impressed with this drink dispenser. It holds 6 quarts, so it's great for entertaining! We will be using it a lot this summer. When I got it I made up a cranberry and vodka punch. I have plans of making up some Sangria Punches this summer, when we have a barbeque with all of our friends and family. This Dispenser is perfect for entertaining! I would highly recommend it! With Mother's Day coming up this would be a great time to serve delicious cocktails in this awesome Drink Dispenser!

So we're all still recovering from the heart attack that was "When Extremes Meet" and I must say this is the greatest episode of the season so far. There hasn't been an episode that I haven't like, but this one is probably my favorite. The gut-wrenching action kept me at the edge of my seat the entire episode, and I was legitimately screaming at my television for the commercials to go away.
First I'm going to go into my favorite parts:
1. The airbender kids. Meelo being an adorable child hitting on Asami by asking her for her hair. And Ikki being her usual self was always a pleasure. The little mini back and forth between her and Bolin was ridiculous. I honestly thought Ikki had met her match with his questions, but no...and to think she counted all the trees on Air Temple Island. Ridonculous.
2. Korra's face when Ikki blurted "Did you know that Korra likes Mako." And then Ikki's face when Korra locked her out. Those little ainmations are what make me laugh.
3. Team Avatar is downright awesome, with their car and earthbending and firebending strengths, they make a kickass team. My personal favorite was Mako shooting the lightning at the cars and motorcycles and them breaking down, so epic.
4. Pabu licking the tears off Korra's face. 'Nuff said.
5.Chivalry is not dead, and Mako was so polite.
Now other things about the episode:
I knew Tarrlok was a douchebag from the moment I saw him. He sucks so bad, and now I hate him so much more than I did last episode...and he was only in the news reel! He is definitely pulling some Senator Palpatine nonsense, and now I have a hunch onto what his Jedi Mind Trick is. He can bloodbend without the full moon, which I must say is pretty impressive in itself, and I say someone post this on one of the pages, and I believe that Tarrlok is controlling the other council members with bloodbending just for his political agenda. He wouldn't bloodbend on Tenzin probably because it would be too predictable since Tenzin blatantly always diasgrees with Tarrlok's politics.
That fight between Korra and Tarrlok was the most impressive thing I've seen on Avatar. It may be my favorite battle sequence. This may also be the first time we see Korra use an element different than fire. Usually in fights she resorts to firebending, but today we saw her be more diverse with the elements at her disposal.
I love the flashbacks we get with Korra. Now I don't want her hurt, but these flashbacks are getting more and more urgent. We saw Toph, Sokka and Aang being manipulated (by what we can assume to be bloodbending) in the same room by a mysterious man who we can assume to be Yakone. It is possible that Tarrlok is related to Yakone and is trying to fulfill what he had tried to accomplish, by gaining absolute power (like the scumbag politician he is).
Now how that relates to Amon I'm not entirely sure. I haven't really postulated anything on the matter. All I know is that Tarrlok and Amon are enemies. It is possible that Amon is aware of Tarrlok's agenda and his ability to bloodbend, and he wants to rid the world of bending so that people like Tarrlok won't use their bending to become dictators.
Now I'm so upset that we don't have a preview to go off on, but instead a little blurb on what the episode might be about. Where will Korra be? What is going to happen next? Why do we have to wait a week for another heart breaking 30 minute show?
This episode was extremely mature, and surprisingly violent to be rated Y7, and is way too mature to be considered a kids show, but that's why I love it. I'm a 20 year old college student and that fact that I am currently obsessed with a cartoon is shocking, but so enthralling at the same time. I love life right now.
Please leave some comments so we can talk about how amazing this episode was. =)

Rob Camm was a week away from starting university. He had just played his final rugby match for his local team, Dursley RFC, and was merely days from beginning pre-season rugby training at York.

And then, in a moment that held so much promise, so much to look forward to, something terrible happened.
Camm was involved in a car crash that paralyzed him from the neck down. He spent months in the hospital and is now reliant on a ventilator to help him breathe.

He never thought he'd walk again.
Now, two years later, Camm can walk again thanks to a remarkable new technology called "REX." REX is an electronic robotic exoskeleton that straps on to a person's body, allowing the paralyzed to walk again.

Usually, it's maneuvered using a joystick, but Camm no longer has the use of his hands.
So he controls it with his mind.

A cap is placed on Camm's head, then covered in 79 electrodes filled with ultrasound gel. These are able to pick up signals in his brain, converting them into movement. It's simply amazing.

Camm seems as stunned as we are, if not more so.
'When you haven't been [walking] for quite a while, it's just a strange experience to see your feet moving underneath you.'
'I have no idea how it works at all. People that are a lot more clever than me have worked that out.
And the best part? Scientists are still working on improving the tech. As Camm himself puts it:
"20 years ago mobile phones were big clunky things and now we have iPhones and things.The difference in 20 years is big. If you think that's what they can do now [with the exoskeleton] think in 20 years what could be possible."
For the time being, Camm is focused on paying the gift forward, by raising money for SpecialEffect, a charity which helps people with physical disabilities play video games using special technology.

By Sharon L. Peters, Special for USA TODAY
Cesar Millan, jetting from troubled dog to troubled dog in a multi-city filming blitz for the upcoming TV season, draws mobs of devotees wherever he appears.
Earlier this month it was 1,400 people who showed up for a two-hour book signing in Miami. This week he's in Minneapolis, where similar swarming is greeting him.
America's most famous dog handler, star of National Geographic Channel's No. 1 Dog Whisperer, has in three seasons become a pop-culture icon, watched by dog owners and non-owners alike every Friday night, appreciated by millions who admire 60-minute terrible-to-terrific tales. NGC has signed him to an unprecedented 35 more episodes. His DVD comes out in August, and his second book arrives in October.
In the background, however, far from the lights and celebrity clientele and miraculous canine turnarounds, is a debate almost certain to grow with the new season.
Many experts involved with animal training, behavior or welfare are not Dog Whisperer fans. They say Millan is using some out-of-favor methods that are unacceptably physical, confrontational, coercive and risky. They say such methods can trigger escalated aggression, they are not likely to lead to long-term positive results, and some may in fact be dangerous to pets and owners.
And some trainers and behavior experts say they're being hired to undo damage Millan's TV devotees have done to their dogs.
Opinions differ on Cesar's way
"Some of the (Dog Whisperer) tactics are, quite frankly, inhumane and inappropriate," says Marie Belew Wheatley, president of the American Humane Association, which asked NGC last fall to replace Dog Whisperer with programming that presents more current, positive techniques.
Others that have written protests to NGC include:
•The American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, veterinarians with advanced animal behavior training, which called many Millan techniques "dangerous."
•The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, which worried that children "may attempt the same techniques with their own pets and could be injured."
The Association of Pet Dog Trainers, the Humane Society of the United States and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have not taken an official stance. But, says the Humane Society's John Snyder, "we steer constituents away from his methods. We do not believe fear should be a motivator."
And ASPCA spokesman Stephen Zawistowski, a certified animal behaviorist, says he is "disappointed that while we have made enormous advances in our understanding of the science, (the program) presents out-of-date techniques. It's not necessary to physically manhandle a dog."
Millan is unfazed. Most of the dogs he works with, he notes, are "dogs that have an appointment to die."
These dogs, often aggressive or highly anxious, are "so unbalanced" he must work to "get them into a place of calm submission," he says. "I'd rather convince a dog psychologically than physically," but that doesn't always work.
Andrew Luescher, director of the Animal Behavior Clinic at Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine, disagrees. Research shows the most effective, least risky way "to get dogs to do what we want is to show them in positive ways that the behavior we want pays off for them."
One animal group publicly supports Millan. The International Association of Canine Professionals, which includes trainers, groomers, dog walkers and fence installers, awarded Millan an honorary membership last year.
"He has informed people that there is help for their dogs, and that is important," says Martin Deeley, the association's co-founder.
"It must be remembered," he adds, "that Cesar is dealing with serious-problem dogs."
Concern about Millan's methods surfaced even before the program premiered. Purdue's Luescher, asked by the National Geographic Channel to preview four episodes, declared some techniques "outdated and unacceptable."
In a letter to the channel, he called the "flooding" technique, in which the dog is constantly exposed to a fear-evoking situation, "risky and cruel." And he labeled punishment methods "entirely inappropriate for most types of aggression and … anxiety."
Also, he says, although the show warns viewers not to try the methods, "we must be realistic: people will try these techniques at home."
Bad things can happen
Michael Cascio of the National Geographic Channel is confident the program sufficiently stresses "these are not techniques to use at home."
And most animal professionals are quick to say much of what Millan imparts is solid.
"I appreciate some of the messages that he gets out there, such as the need for exercise and proper socialization and being a responsible pet owner, and also that there are alternatives to re-homing and euthanizing animals," says Karen Sueda, a veterinarian specializing in behavior at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital.
But she finds some Millan methods excessive, and she has dealt with about a dozen owners who reported their dogs were harmed by them.
"Many owners just can't do what (Millan) does," says Melissa Bain, service chief at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. "And if they try, awful things can happen."
Millan believe viewers understand that.
"This," he says, "is not a how-to-do show."

These are actually Fat Rascals, which are a traditional Yorkshire treat. They are a cross between a scone and a teacake, quite dense, crumbly and stuffed full of currants and candied peel. The origin of their name is unkown but I believe it has something to do with the glace cherries and sliced almonds which are arranged into a sort of mischevious (and slightly scary) face on the top of each rascal. I also like to believe that it could also be because these fat, thick, scones were a favourite with children who were affectionately called 'rascals' our equivalent of called someone a 'cheeky monkey' these days. However, this is just my own speculation. Anyone else have any ideas on the origin of the name?
I made these for Monday Munchers at work. I got the inspiration to make them after sampling one on a recent visit to Betty's Tea Shop in Harrogate which is famous for these afternoon treats. Mine turned out slightly thinner than they should have done, not quite as fat as the originals and so I have called mine Chubby Rascals.
They have a light buttery crumb thanks to the sour cream included in the batter. This also makes them quite rich and filling. The candied peel added a lovely sweet and zesty flavour. They were very much enjoyed but I think next time I will try not to roll them out so thinly in the hope they turn out a little fatter. They are lovely to munch on as they are but spread with butter and jam they become a really special afternoon treat.
Chubby (Fat) Rascals
100g butter (or half butter and half lard)
350g plain flour
75g currants
25g candied mixed peel
1 heaped tsp baking powder
75g caster sugar
150ml sour cream
Glace cherries
Sliced or whole blanched almonds
Preheat the oven to 220C. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and set to one side.
Rub the butter into the flour using you fingertips until no big lumps remain.
Mix through the sugar, baking powder, currants and peel.
Add the cream, reserving a little as you may not need it all, and mix to a stiff dough.
Flour a work surface and gently roll out the dough until it is 2cm thick.
Stamp out rounds using a pastry cutter and place on the baking tray.
Cut a glace cherry in half and place on the top of each rascal along with 3-4 almonds in the design of a face.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until slightly risen and golden brown.
Cool slightly before munching.
Makes 8 – 10 Rascals
