LAWMAKERS CALL FOR PROBE OF PETRAEUS INVESTIGATION -- Karen DeYoung and Sari Horwitz write in the Washington Post: "Senior lawmakers called for an inquiry into the FBI's handling of the case of CIA Director David H. Petraeus on Sunday as new details and questions emerged about the investigation that led to his resignation last week. Law enforcement sources identified Jill Kelley, 37, of Tampa as the woman whose report of harassing e-mails eventually exposed an extramarital affair between Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, a former Army officer who wrote a biography of the retired four-star general. The departure in disgrace of one of the administration's most respected and prominent figures came as President Obama is reorganizing his national security team for a second term. Petraeus was to have been a primary witness this week at a series of closed-door congressional hearings on possible intelligence and security lapses surrounding the September attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.
Story Continued Below
-- "Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, said Sunday that news of Petraeus's resignation was 'like a lightning bolt' and that top lawmakers had not been aware the inquiry was underway. Her first inkling, Feinstein said on 'Fox News Sunday,' came from media inquiries Friday, just hours before Petreaus's resignation was announced publicly. She called Petraeus, she said, and he told her of his plans. 'This is something that could have had an effect on national security,' Feinstein said. 'I think we should have been told.' She said the panel will 'absolutely' investigate why the FBI did not notify relevant officials sooner.
-- "Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said: 'It just doesn't add up that you have this type of investigation. The FBI is investigating e-mails, the e-mails leading to the CIA director, taking four months to find out that the CIA director was involved.' 'I have real questions about this. I think a timeline has to be looked at and analyzed to see what happened,' King said on CNN's 'State of the Union.'" http://wapo.st/W34P6I
-- Top officials at the FBI and Justice Department were first told in the late summer that FBI agents had stumbled upon emails revealing Patraeus's extramarital affair, Scott Shane and Charlie Savage write on A1 of the New York Times. "But law enforcement officials did not notify anyone outside the F.B.I. or the Justice Department until last week because the investigation was incomplete and initial concerns about possible security breaches, which would demand more immediate action, did not appear to be justified, the officials said. The new accounts of the events that led to Mr. Petraeus's sudden resignation on Friday shed light on the competing pressures facing F.B.I. agents who recognized the high stakes of any investigation involving the C.I.A. director but who were wary of exposing a private affair with no criminal or security implications." http://nyti.ms/Ze52IO
-- The NYT reported over the weekend that an FBI "whistleblower" informed House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about Mr. Petraeus's affair and a possible security breach in late October. "'I was contacted by an F.B.I. employee concerned that sensitive, classified information may have been compromised and made certain Director Mueller was aware of these serious allegations and the potential risk to our national security,' Mr. Cantor said in a statement. Mr. Cantor talked to the person after being told by Representative Dave Reichert, Republican of Washington, that a whistle-blower wanted to speak to someone in the Congressional leadership about a national security concern. On Oct. 31, his chief of staff, Steve Stombres, called the F.B.I. to tell them about the call." http://nyti.ms/TtEhvM
-- Speaker John Boehner was not told of Cantor's knowledge of the FBI probe until after news broke of Petraeus's resignation on Friday, Roll Call reports. http://bit.ly/TVrKmS
JACKSON JR. PLEA DEAL COULD INCLUDE RESIGNATION – "Just days after winning a handy reelection to his Chicago-area district, 17-year Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill., has entered negotiations for a plea deal that would include his resignation from Congress and likely jail time," CBS Chicago reports. "Jackson, Jr., the son of civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., and husband to Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, has not yet pleaded guilty to alleged misuse of campaign funds to decorate his house and purchase a $40,000 Rolex watch for a female friend. But CBS Chicago reports the congressman's lawyer, white-collar criminal defense attorney Dan Webb, is negotiating with the federal government a plea bargain that will likely be reached by year's end.
-- "The tentative deal includes Jackson Jr.'s resignation from Congress for health reasons, a 'guilty' plea involving misuse of campaign funds, and repayment of any contributions that were converted to personal use. At least some jail time is expected. Jackson, Jr.'s pension, which would pay out between $65,000 and $80,000 a year when he turns 62, is also part of the talks." http://cbsn.ws/Rx1PQi
OBAMA LOOKS BEYOND BELTWAY IN DEBT TALKS – Jackie Calmes writes on A1 of the NYT that President Obama sees this next round of budget talks as a second chance to take control of the nation's policy debate and end gridlock in Washington. "As he prepares to meet with Congressional leaders at the White House on Friday, aides say, Mr. Obama will not simply hunker down there for weeks of closed-door negotiations as he did in mid-2011, when partisan brinkmanship over raising the nation's debt limit damaged the economy and his political standing. He will travel beyond the Beltway at times to rally public support for a deficit-cutting accord that mixes tax increases on the wealthy with spending cuts.
-- "On Wednesday, Mr. Obama will meet with corporate executives at the White House as he uses the nation's fiscal problems to start rebuilding relations with business leaders. Though many of them backed Mitt Romney, scores have formed a coalition to push for a budget compromise similar to the one the president seeks. He hopes to enlist them to persuade Republicans in Congress to accept higher taxes on the assurance that he can deliver Democrats' votes for future reductions in fast-growing entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid." http://nyti.ms/Ttr3PO
-- WSJ, A4, "White House Plans Public Appeal on Deficit": http://on.wsj.com/ZtRTuo
BOEHNER TO HOUSE GOP: GET IN LINE -- Jonathan Weisman and Jennifer Steinhauer reported over the weekend for the NYT: "On a conference call with House Republicans a day after the party's electoral battering last week, Speaker John A. Boehner dished out some bitter medicine, and for the first time in the 112th Congress, most members took their dose. Their party lost, badly, Mr. Boehner said, and while Republicans would still control the House and would continue to staunchly oppose tax rate increases as Congress grapples with the impending fiscal battle, they had to avoid the nasty showdowns that marked so much of the last two years. Members on the call, subdued and dark, murmured words of support — even a few who had been a thorn in the speaker's side for much of this Congress. … On Wednesday's conference call, their ranks slightly reduced by the election, House Republican leaders presented a united front, a departure from the backbiting of earlier showdowns, the leaders' aides admit. After acknowledging that the election had not gone the way any of them had hoped, Mr. Boehner made an ardent plea for unity, saying they could expect a good deal out of the coming negotiations only if they stuck together." http://nyti.ms/W36lpH
5 FISCAL CLIFF SCENARIOS – POLITICO's Carrie Budoff Brown and Jake Sherman offer five possible outcomes to Washington's fiscal crisis: "Democrats want to increase tax rates; Republicans say no way. Republicans seek major changes to entitlement programs; Democrats are divided. Republicans want to nullify a package of automatic spending cuts; Democrats won't go for it without major concessions. The policy differences are endless, but the scenarios for how it could play out are fairly limited. Here are five ways Congress may navigate the labyrinth: 1. Go over the cliff. 2. A big deal. 3. Tax-free strategy. 4. Buy more time. 5. Buy more time — but with a down payment. http://politi.co/Ttx3b2
HOUSE GOP REBELS USE INCUMBENCY TO WIN -- Alex Isenstadt reports for POLITICO: "The House GOP freshman class that stormed to power on the strength of its outside game in 2010 learned to master the inside one in 2012. The tea party-backed insurgents found themselves in a very different position in this election — officeholders in an unpopular Congress they had once railed against and without a national conservative wave to help them along. In the end, most — indeed, nearly all — of the freshmen won, surviving an election that went south for the GOP in the presidential and Senate races. With a few races yet to be called, at least 72 of the 87 members of the class of 2010 are set to return."
-- "To win, they played by the rules of Washington, exploiting the fruits of incumbency that their opponents simply did not have. They raised boatloads of cash, much of it from special interest groups looking to curry favor with them. They accepted coaching from experienced Washington leaders. And they ran on their records of congressional votes, trumpeting themselves as powerful pols who could deliver for their districts." http://politi.co/TCWLdb
TOUGH ROAD FOR SENATE GOP IN 2014 – David Catanese reports for the hometown paper: "Republicans have whiffed in two straight Senate cycles but will get a third swing at the majority in 2014. It will take a lot more than charm, though, to put them back in power. Twenty Senate Democrats will have to defend their seats that year, while just 13 Republicans will be up for reelection. At least six of the Democrats represent red states — places like Arkansas, Louisiana and South Dakota — and are seen as ripe GOP pickings. Retirements could expand the map for the party. Still, Republicans will need almost everything to break in their favor to pick up the half-dozen seats needed to take back the Senate. It's certainly possible but a long shot." http://politi.co/TD1kEd
-- POLITICO's Manu Raju and John Bresnahan take an in-depth look at how Harry Reid's Majority PAC was able to influence several Senate races and help Democrats actually pick up two seats in what was expecting to be a challenging year. http://politi.co/TDg3PB

My new followers include but are not limited to @AndreaLMcCarthy and @kslongo.
TODAY IN CONGRESS – Both the House and Senate return at 2 p.m. Tuesday for the start of the lame duck session. The Senate holds its first roll call vote at 5:30 p.m. with the House following at 6:30 p.m.
WaPo LEAD EDITORIAL: FIX IMMIGRATION NOW – "It's obvious — though Mitt Romney had to learn it the hard way — that 11 million undocumented residents will not 'self-deport,' nor should they. … The fair and sensible solution is to grant them a path to citizenship. … In the past, much of the jockeying around solving the immigration problem has been about who would get blame or credit. Even now, some Republicans are openly fearful that a deal would simply cement Democrats' electoral advantage among Latinos — and, possibly, create millions of new Hispanic voters. Some Democrats might rather milk the status quo, which has helped them until now, than make tough compromises. Both parties would be wise to realize that standing pat carries its own risks. Every poll suggests that large majorities of Americans want the immigration system fixed. Congress should heed that message." http://wapo.st/WXUgbt
-- Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are reviving their immigration reform plan: Schumer "said Sunday that he and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham are revisiting their comprehensive immigration plan that was shelved two years ago, a sign, he said, that prospects for a major immigration overhaul were good," Melanie Mason reports for the LA Times. "Appearing on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Schumer said he and the senator from South Carolina 'are talking to our colleagues about this right now, and I think we have a darn good chance, using this blueprint, to get something done this year. The Republican Party has learned that being anti-immigrant doesn't work for them politically, and they know it.'" http://lat.ms/WXQ8Is
-- "Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein said Sunday there was 'absolutely not' a link between David Petraeus' resignation as CIA director and the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya," Kevin Robillard writes for POLITICO. 'The events in Benghazi and his resignation? Absolutely not,' Feinstein said on 'Fox News Sunday' when asked if there was a link between the two events. 'I think if you really think this thing out, anyone will come to that conclusion.'" http://politi.co/Q7YlXu
-- Meanwhile, Graham says it's "essential" that Petraeus testify before Congress about the Benghazi attack, even if he's resigned. http://bit.ly/SWEn0n
-- Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn said the GOP lost Tuesday's election because it didn't offer a "positive vision." "You have to demonstrate what you're for, not what you're against," the Oklahoma Republican said on NBC's "Meet The Press." "I think that's the key ingredient, and sell a vision that's positive for America, not a negative vision about what's wrong with America. I think you have to have both. We didn't sell a positive vision, we didn't explain to people what we're for." http://politi.co/W3bNIZ
GOP ANGST OVER LEADERSHIP RACES – Jake Sherman reports: "The GOP's problems with women — laid bare by last week's elections — is the main undertone in the battle for head of the Homeland Security Committee between Reps. Mike Rogers of Alabama and Candice Miller of Michigan. That race, combined with the contest for head of the Republican Conference, is becoming a proxy for a larger discussion about a dearth of Republican women in power in the House. To a person, key Republicans privately concede that Rogers has done everything right to become chairman. The same people also say Miller is likely to get the gavel. If so, she would be the only woman to chair a committee. … Another complication for leaders is Rep. Paul Ryan's return to the House. Leaders are expected to reappoint the Wisconsin Republican as head of the Budget Committee even though he's reached the term limit for committee heads. That has others wondering why the party's golden boy is getting special treatment." http://politi.co/SZFjC9
WHAT KIND OF SENATOR WILL WARREN BE? – Stepahnie McCrummen writes for the Washington Post: "How would the new, scholarly heroine of the political left, who once spoke of her willingness to leave "blood and teeth on the floor" in her fight for consumer protection, position herself at a moment when American politics demands both an unyielding brawler and bipartisan compromise? … Among the models for how Warren might approach her role as a senator from Massachusetts, the one most often mentioned is that of the state's late liberal icon, Edward M. Kennedy. He was a reliable voice for the left who also got things done, partnering, for instance, with George W. Bush on the No Child Left Behind Act and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on immigration policy. And there is the model offered by Hillary Rodham Clinton, who had even more star power than Warren and was, at first, viewed with suspicion by many of the GOP senators she eventually won over with dogged hard work." http://wapo.st/SH1TMh
ALL EYES ON PELOSI – Jonathan Strong reports for Roll Call: "As lawmakers come back to Washington, D.C., for the first time since the elections, the Democratic leadership picture remains frozen in place as members wait for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to announce her plans. The California Democrat has always kept tight council, and she was reticent about the future in the immediate aftermath of the 2010 elections when deciding whether to stay on as leader after the tea party wave swept Republicans into control of the House. But Democrats say there are even fewer signs this time around about her intentions. The result is an excruciating waiting game for a cast of ambitious Democratic leaders and would-be leaders, several of whom have high profiles but no obvious spots to fill in the next Congress. And rank-and-file Democrats are jumpy as they track the rumors flying through the caucus." http://bit.ly/TVul05
CHANGING OF THE GUARD: NEW VETS HEAD TO HILL – Stephanie Gaskell reports: "They served their nation in war, and now they'll serve it in Congress. A record number of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans were elected to the House last Tuesday, including two history-making female combat veterans. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii who did a tour in Iraq with the Army National Guard's 29th Brigade in 2004, was elected to the House with 8o percent of the vote. … Tammy Duckworth was elected after her second shot at a House seat in Illinois. An Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot who lost her legs in a crash in Iraq in 2004, she was a star at the Democratic National Convention this summer in Charlotte, N.C. After losing her 2006 race for the 6th Congressional District, Duckworth was elected to the 8th Congressional District, unseating Republican Rep. Joe Walsh.
-- "The overall number of veterans is Congress is expected to stay about the same, but a changing of the guard is beginning to take place on Capitol Hill. The makeup of lawmakers is gradually but clearly shifting from people who served in World War II, Korea or Vietnam to those who served in Afghanistan, Operation Desert Storm and Iraq." http://politi.co/PP39jc
FRIDAY'S TRIVIA WINNER – Jon Deuser was first to correctly answer that 1972 was the last year a presidential ticket lost both of their home states: Democrats George McGovern and Sargent Shriver lost both South Dakota and Maryland.

With school winding down, and summer just about to begin, the SAT and the ACT are probably the absolute last things that many students want to think about.
After all, the first fall test date for the ACT isn't until September. The fall SAT schedule doesn't begin until October. There's a ton of time to schedule that prep course or start studying, right?
Well, yes and no. Students who are not actively engaged in learning activities over the summer usually backtrack a little by the time school starts in the fall. In fact, multiple studies have shown that the average student scores lower on standardized tests at the end of summer than they did on the exact same test at the beginning of summer vacation. To be more specific, most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in math over the summer months.
That's why I encourage all students to engage in some fun learning activities or classes in the summer — but especially those students who are preparing for the SAT or ACT.
Summer test prep doesn't have to be time-consuming, stressful or expensive, however.
Students who are really motivated can create their own study plan. They might commit to studying vocabulary words an hour or two a week, or taking free practice tests available online, or purchasing a do-it-yourself study guide.
One student I know managed to raise her math test score by 100 points and her reading score by 70 points, just by independently working on it over the summer. Her secret? She studied the curriculum from the prep course she had taken with us the previous spring.
However, many students will benefit from more focused preparation. A formal class or a private tutor is probably most helpful for those students who have trouble with self-motivation, need extra help with core concepts or are nervous about tests in general, particularly those who have trouble finishing within the time limits.
For those students, it's important to consider their level of preparation, and what special needs they may have. For instance, students who have already taken a prep course may only need a refresher. Students who have done well on one portion of the test, say math, but not as well on the others, should focus on the areas where they most want to raise their scores. Finally, think about your student's learning style. Some will thrive with a dedicated tutor; others may prefer a fast-paced classroom setting where they're learning from their peers; still others may get the most out of online, interactive resources.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said it's looking at a company in Ohio and the Division of Highways Equipment Office in Upshur County.
A spokesperson confirmed Thursday that a federal search warrant was issued to MoTrim Incorporated in Cambridge Ohio.
Federal officials were at both locations this week to obtain records and documents.
No arrests have been made.
W.Va. Division of Highways Spokesperson Brent Walker said the DOH stands at the ready and continues to cooperate in the investigation.
MoTrim deals in selling boom mowers.
Original Story
FBI agents and troopers from the West Virginia State Police descended on the Division of Highways Equipment Division complex, in Buckhannon, Tuesday afternoon.
They were there to serve a federal search warrant for records and documents, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia's office. It's unclear what those records pertain to. A white box truck was seen leaving the complex with law enforcement vehicles.
FBI officials at the scene declined to comment. A representative with the U.S. Attorney's Office said that no arrests were made Tuesday. According to the W.Va. Department of Transportation's website, the Equipment Division handles equipment maintenance for the Division of Highways and other state agencies. West Virginia Division of Highways Spokesman Brent Walker said the DOH is aware of the investigation, but it isn't clear what is being investigated. "We don't know what they are looking for at this point. We're certainly cooperating with them," said Walker.
The division also takes care of fuel purchases for all state agencies, the website said. The complex is located at the intersection of U.S. Route 33 and Brushy Fork Road in Upshur County.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Former Cowboy Daryl Johnston: 'They flip me the bird in Philly'
Former Cowboys fullback Daryl Johnston talked with KTCK-AM 1310 on Friday. Here are some highlights.
When you got to other venues around the country, do they holler out 'Moose'?
Johnston: They flip me the bird in Philly. It's good. There are Cowboys fans everywhere. People recognize me as Moose. I think that'll always be a part of who I am. It's fun. We have Cowboy fans in Washington, New York, Philadephia, all over the country. When you talk about America's Team, I think the moniker for the Dallas Cowboys really fits because we have a fan base that extends to every city.

On June 27, 2001, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a new law implementing several significant reforms to the Florida Unemployment Compensation Program. The new law is meant to save the state money, reduce taxes on employers and help get Floridians back to work. Among other reforms, the definition of "misconduct" under the new law has been expanded making it easier for employers to successfully defend unemployment insurance benefit claims. Specifically, under the new law, misconduct is defined as "any action that demonstrates conscious disregard of an employer's interests and is found to be a deliberate disregard or violation of reasonable standards of behavior" and may include activities that do not occur at the workplace or during working hours. Therefore, this broader definition not only extends misconduct to activities that occur outside of the workplace, it also includes such events such as chronic absenteeism and tardiness, which may not have been deemed misconduct under the old definition.

Arnstein & Lehr's Tampa team secures quick result for financial institution client
Arnstein & Lehr Tampa Partner Robin Trupp and Associate Brian Cummings secured a speedy result from Florida's Second District Court of Appeal for Partner Ron Cohn's financial institution client. A mere eight days after oral argument, the appellate court affirmed a Final Judgment of Foreclosure, which included the involuntary dismissal at trial of multiple lender-liability claims against the client that the trial court later deemed frivolous. Mr. Trupp handled oral argument while Mr. Cummings drafted the brief. They intend to employ the same division of labor in a second appeal spawned by the same case: review of a Final Judgment in favor of the Bank for $270,000 in attorney's fees against both the borrowers and their attorneys. They hope to secure the same speedy result the second time around, providing finality for a client that endured four years of litigation and appeals after filing a garden-variety commercial foreclosure action.

Randall Sidlosca interviewed for article on the Spanish-language Web site Terra on how September 11 has changed the U.S.
Arnstein & Lehr Miami Partner Randall L. Sidlosca was recently interviewed for an article that appears on the Spanish-language Web site Terra. The article focuses on how U.S. citizens now view ourselves and also how the world views us post 9/11. It also discusses the inter-agency cooperation that has developed after 9/11 as well as the increased security at the airports and the border crossings. The author goes on to state that Americans for the first time in history feel vulnerable to terrorist attacks. The article then reviews how this vulnerability has impacted the way we view ourselves.
HIPAA audits are coming: The time to prepare is now
Hospitals, physician practices, and other healthcare entities have long been subject to a variety of sometimes random audits. For example, IRS audits, payer audits by Medicare or private insurance companies, state Workers' Compensation audits, federal Department of Labor audits can occur. To this list will shortly be added HIPAA audits. The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that it has retained a contractor to begin doing random audits for HIPAA compliance in 2012. In June KPMG, LLP was awarded a $9.2 million contract to administer the audits. The audits are presently scheduled to commence prior to the end of 2011, with the first audit phase scheduled to end by December 31, 2012.

The global crisis has prompted a great deal of talk about China. Most of it, however, starts from a faulty premise: that the People's Republic is still moving toward a market economy. In fact, late 2008 marked the 30th anniversary of the beginning of market reforms - and perhaps the third anniversary of their ending.
Since the present Communist Party leadership took power, fresh market-oriented liberalization has been minor. Such policies have been wound down and supplanted by renewed state intervention. In privatization, prices and even foreign trade and investment, the PRC was heading away from the market well before the financial crisis erupted.
privatization of the corporate sector was stalled at first, then explicitly reversed. Initiatives to increase corporate competition are also being rolled back. The sale of minority stakes at home or overseas does not alter state ownership and control. Indeed, all national corporations in the sectors that make up the core of the economy are required by law to be under state control.
The state exercises control over most of the rest of the economy through the financial system. The state owns all large financial institutions; the People's Bank of China assigns banks loan quotas every year; and lending is directed according to state priorities, topped by favoritism for large state enterprises.
Beijing has also halted progress in price liberalization made during the first two decades of reform. Liberalization of the price of goods has been dealt a blow by greater state interference in energy and food. The People's Bank still sets compulsory and narrow ranges for both the price of domestic money (the interest rate) and the price of foreign money (the exchange rate).
The state is encroaching even on the relatively open external sector, sharply restricting incoming investment. Touted as "reform," for instance, the anti-monopoly law explicitly excludes the state giants and appears to apply only to foreign companies such as Coca-Cola.
Market reform has died in part because -- rhetoric aside - the Party has pursued G.D.P. growth above all else. Before the financial shock, while G.D.P. growth was still in double digits and inflation was climbing toward double digits, Beijing was still stimulating the economy through negative real interest rates, making borrowing from banks effectively free.
When inflation began to ebb due to the crisis, the central government further opened the fiscal taps. Eight percent G.D.P. growth is now seen as weak and 25 percent investment growth inadequate. Ensuring blistering expansion requires more and more state-directed investment, which dominates economic activity.
Whether this is a good idea depends on whether a country can indefinitely spend 25 to 30 percent more every year without crippling waste and a warped, fragile economy. All bubbles must eventually pop; additionally, China's focus on heavy industry continues to cause irreversible ecological destruction.
The growth obsession has its benefits, of course. China's remarkable economic performance over the past three decades has made it a global player. Most important, rapid G.D.P. gains have created jobs: at the end of 2008, despite the crisis, the official unemployment rate for urban residents was 4.2 percent, beating the ambitious target of 4.5 percent. This success has made the Party increasingly resistant to foreign pressure for economic reform.
The Obama administration's choices of how to engage Beijing on economic issues are thus difficult. Some American goals fly in the face of the Chinese development model and very little progress should be expected, at least until the flaws of the model become apparent to the Party.
Despite the obstacles, true market reform must remain America's ultimate aim. Otherwise, Beijing will continue to adopt policies unpalatable to the United States and ultimately unsustainable in the international context. In the absence of reform, serious U.S.-China economic conflict is inevitable.
Initial negotiations will be like pulling teeth. But a consistent, patient stand will greatly speed the process once the Party is again open to market reform. Fortunately, a framework for engagement already exists: the recently renamed Strategic and Economic Dialogue.
In these talks, Washington must have realistic objectives in light of actual Chinese policy. For example, rather than asking for sweeping privatization, the administration should seek a formal commitment that Beijing will open state-dominated companies to foreign investors, with reasonable limits. A long-term, explicit timetable -- formulated by Beijing -- for liberalizing exchange rates, interest rates and domestic energy prices would recognize the process is necessary but will not be rapid.
President Obama will need to work hard to move China back in the right direction, but the alternative is a progressively and dangerously worse economic relationship.

Traditionally, the winter/early spring months are an optimal time to get your team or club together to participate in an organized team training camp. Motivation is high and riders are eager to begin their seasonal individual and team preparation.
Here are some tips and suggestions to help organize the best possible camp or clinic that will benefit all members going into the cycling season.
Do it Yourself or Hire a Professional?
One of the first decisions a group has to make is whether they will organize the camp themselves or hire a professional coach or training company (like AthletiCamps) to organize the camp for them. As with the old Greyhound bus tag line, "Leave the driving up to us," clearly, hiring an outside service with experience in organizing a productive camp can be beneficial.
It can take away any pressure from the team themselves and allow the whole team to focus and enjoy the camp. Also, having an independent and objective view of your team in this type of environment can lead to improvement. Sometimes the team itself can't see the forest thru the trees and having an experienced point of view can help offer suggestions that may allow the team to perform better as a group.
Remember, the camp is not just about riding; it's about teaching the team to perform at their best during the season.
Define a Purpose
Have a reason for the camp and make sure everyone is on the same page. Identify areas that the team needs work on, like lead-outs at the end of criteriums. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that every rider has input as to what they want accomplished.
Take suggestions from the riders as to what their top priorities are for "their" camp. They can range from the obvious (just riding), to tactical discussions and team goals for the upcoming season.
Begin planning well ahead of time. One of the first steps should be sending out an email to all members and ask what they would like to accomplish during camp. This process will allow the team to be most productive in their limited amount of time together.
Bring in a Variety of Different Sources of Information
In line with defining a camp purpose, there can be many topics to cover at camp. For example, at our camps we offer performance testing of each athlete, and bring in coaches that can offer different points of view on training, nutritionists, doctors with a focus on exercise performance and sports psychologists.
By presenting a variety of topics, riders can learn that there is much more to athletic success than simply riding their bikes. By bringing in other coaches and experts, it can teach them that there are alternate methods to training. A lot of times, riders get "stuck" in one type of training approach, when, in fact, there are many different methods of training.
Organize Riders Into Training Groups That Reflect Fitness Level
If you have a large club or team, it might be best to split the camp in different groups or even consider separate camps. For example, if the club has Elite 1's and 2's as well as Masters of varying age groups, separate the ones that race together during the season into their own subgroup.

Kolkata, Sep 15 (IANS) Amid allegations that the ruling Trinamool Congress was infringing upon the autonomy of West Bengal's educational institutions, Education Minister Partha Chatterjee on Tuesday asserted the state government's right to intervene when matters involved law and order.
In the wake of several instances of campus violence and student agitations, opposition parties CPI-M, Congress and the BJP as well as educationists have been attacking the Trinamool, alleging it of establishing "partycracy" in educational institutions.
"The state government would prefer that any internal matter is looked into by the internal body.
"But when it is seen that during functioning, there is a role of the state, there are questions on law and order, finance and there are disputes in areas where there is a role of the state, the state government can't sit quietly," Chatterjee said here at an event.
"In those cases, it will have to take action," he added.
On Monday, the Trinamool legislator from Diamond Harbour, Dipak Haldar, was arrested for campus violence following "orders" by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Haldar, who was on Tuesday granted bail, allegedly instigated activists of the Trinamool students' wings to vandalise and capture the union office of Fakir Chand College in Diamond Harbour.
Following a sustained agitation by Jadavpur University students demanding the removal of vice chancellor Abhijit Chakrabarti for 'ordering a police crackdown' on students, Mamata Banerjee visited the university campus to announce Chakrabarti's resignation.
A host of educationists and political parties had objected to the chief minister announcing the resignation, claiming it was an "infringement of the university's autonomy".
Similar views were expressed by academicians after Presidency University vice chancellor Anuradha Lohia recently "expressed her gratitude" to the chief minister for releasing funds due to the university.
Lohia had bowed before Banerjee after being handed over documents of the funds at an event in the university.

13 Responses to "White Chocolate- Peppermint Hot Cocoa"
Merry Christmas Lori! Thanks for all the great recipes and delicious-looking pictures this year 🙂
Merry Christmas, this just sounds delicious!
Christmas in a cup! YUM 🙂
My favourite dish that we all make together is Eggs Benedict! It's been my favourite since I was in 3rd grade (tough fav. for a third grader let me tell ya). Now that we live so far apart it's usually around Christmas that we make it these days.
When I was younger, I was able to help with fetching things and punching down the bread. But this past time we were together, I was the one that was making the English Muffins, my Mum was making the Hollandaise, and my Pere was poaching the eggs. It's something delicious we all have a part in, which is particularly fun.
Poo.. it posted on the wrong post. :/ Sorry.
Yum! When I make this I may spike it with a bit o whiskey 🙂 Happy Holidays!
Hi, congratulations on having your blog featured on the Foodie Blogroll! I love hot chocolate and would love to try the white chocolate peppermint hot chocolate. Thanks for sharing the recipe! :>)
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and & a happy, healthy New year!
Merry Christmas, Lori!!
Oh happy days! This white chocolate cocoa looks so yummy! Happy Holidays my friend. See you soon :)xo
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family Lori! Thank you for enlightening me with all your beautiful creations! I eagerly look forward to another year of your posts!
Merry Christmas, Lori!
This looks absolutely PERFECT!
Merry Christmas, Lori!

Mondays mean many things to me: back to work, plenty of Star Trek: The Next Generation to watch, and a fresh copy of "Randy's Roundup" in my inbox. "Randy's Roundup" is our Congressman's weekly dispatch. From Monday's Roundup (I prefer "Wrong-O"), discussing the Cap and Trade energy bill that passed the House:
As I said on the House floor during the debate, this bill is not about science or sound policy, but it is really about driving up the cost of energy, sending millions of jobs overseas to countries like India and China, and placing an especially heavy burden on rural America.What a load of crap. I see 5 parts to this crapload: 1) no science 2) no sound policy 3) driving up the cost of energy 4) sending jobs overseas 5) an especially heavy burden on rural America The whole point of Cap and Trade is to provide a market-based solution for getting our CO2 emissions under control, which any reputable climatologist will tell you is absolutely essential to minimize our damaging impact on our environment. There's (1) the science and (2) sound policy. (3) The cost of energy may rise briefly, but it will decrease over time as more renewable energy sources come online. If there is any iota of competition left in the energy industry, then companies that implement effective methods of clean energy production will win out over more polluting companies by offering a cheaper rate. It's a fine, capitalistic solution that only entrenched big business interests would oppose. This bill is a good step toward tackling a global problem, and it won't break the bank along the way. (4) The great thing about green energy jobs is: they cannot be outsourced. I truly don't understand Randy's line about Cap and Trade "sending millions of jobs overseas to countries like India and China." We will be creating new jobs here in the USA, many right here in sun-and-wind-rich West Texas. After all, it's easier to put wind and solar farms out in the middle of nowhere than it is to put them in urban centers. This is (5) a clear win for rural America, which will have new and long-lasting industries based around wind and solar energy (as opposed to boom-and-bust oil economies). Our oil imports over time will decrease. Overall, our country will be more self-sufficient. To conclude, I want to share a political cartoon (by a Lubbockite!) that captures the essence of No-gebauer and the rest of the Grand Obstructionist Party: The cartoon illustrates that there is, in fact, one bad energy policy on the Democratic side: neglecting to harness all the hot air and friction emanating from today's GOP.

Angels fall to O's in Santana's return
Righty allows six runs, four earned, in five innings
By Quinn Roberts / MLB.com
"He really seemed to be throwing better tonight," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We liked his stuff and it is something to build off of."
In Santana's five innings of work, he gave up six runs, four of which were earned. With the loss, his record fell to 1-4 with a 7.43 ERA.
"The ball was coming out of my hand really well tonight, I just had a few location mistakes, Santana said.
"My pitches had more life than earlier this year and I really was not scared to throw any of my pitches. I felt good."
Throughout the game, Santana's velocity reached 93 and 94 mph, an encouraging sign for both Santana and Scioscia.
"Before with my injuries I was thinking about the pitches I was throwing, but tonight I was not scared to throw," Santana said. "Before this, I think the injuries were a factor in my velocity."
Even though Santana pitched relatively well Friday, the Angels didn't help him out in the field or at the plate.
In the first inning with a runner on first, Angels shortstop Erick Aybar booted a double play that would have ended the inning. Instead, only three batters after the error, designated hitter Luke Scott hit a two-run double, scoring both runs that would have been outs had the earlier play by Aybar been made. Those two runs eventually made up the difference between the two clubs.
"That one play really set the tone for that entire inning," said Scioscia.
Baltimore's big inning came in the third, as with runners on the corners and no one out, first baseman Aubrey Huff hit a three-run home run just over the wall in right field, making the score, 5-0.
Minus a two-run home run by first baseman Kendry Morales to right field in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Halos weren't able to take advantage of many scoring opportunities.
All of Morales 14 home runs this season for the Angels have been when he bats from the left side.
Second baseman Maicer Izturis singled twice and doubled in a run and Juan Rivera continued swinging a hot bat, hitting a single and a double on his 31st birthday.
However, the Angels' two, three and four hitters were 1-for-11 in the game.
"We missed some opportunities tonight and couldn't do quite enough to get the win," said Scioscia.
The team missed an opportunity to get on the board in the third inning, when with no one out and runners on first and second, the Halos couldn't plate a run home. Aybar grounded into a fielder's choice before Chone Figgins popped up to short and Bobby Abreu grounded out to second.
Both Aybar and Figgins didn't have good averages against Orioles starter David Hernandez going into the game. Aybar didn't have a hit in six at-bats, while Figgins was just 1-for-9.
The Angels made it interesting in the ninth, as Izturis singled to bring the tying run to the plate, however after a Jeff Mathis strikeout, pinch-hitter Mike Napoli hit into a game-ending double play.
After Santana exited the game in the fifth inning, the Angels' relief combination of Kevin Jepsen, Rich Thompson and Matt Palmer gave up no runs in four innings of work.
"We really needed all of them tonight," Scioscia said. "They kept us in the game, we just couldn't get enough runs across."

- Well I'll put it simply....I've been working on getting a Virtua Fighter 5
walkthrough up as a means of my "coming out of retirement" kinda deal. Well
I'm still hard at work with it, but I figured as much that I should at least
put out there some character walkthroughs as well. I was planning on doing
this in the first place once I got the full walkthrough up, but I figured
what the hell....lets do it now. So with that being said I'm here to give
you all this guide on Aoi Umenokouji.
- As with every other guide that I've wrote, this guide is my own property! I
happily made this for all to enjoy and to use, and all that I ask is that if
you are planning on using this for your site, then just ask me for permission
ok. I'm really easy to get along with and generally don't mind it so long as
you ask for my permission first. Don't go thinking "Oh he'll never say ok,
lets just rip the guide and post it anyways" because that's a flawed way of
thinking. Just give it a shot sometime and you may be surprised! My e-mail
box is always open!
- A big reminder to everyone out there....if you're looking for updates to this
guide, then head on over to www.gamefaqs.com. I write for that site and that
site only.....or at least, that's where the guide's origins are. Any update
that I do will hit there. I don't really plan on keeping up with how many
other hundreds of sites have my guides up for their use and have to go and

*** Aoi Umenokouji ***
- Backstory -
- Aoi left the fourth tournament with only frustration and anger. She had to
endure a slew of pick-up lines before her match, and the match itself was a
complete loss. Her opponent's nimble footwork and powerful kicks were more
than impressive, but his tendency to come on to any woman he saw only angered
Aoi. Even after the tournament ended, Aoi thought about her opponent often.
There had never been any fighters like that in the previous tournaments, and
he had made a strong impression on her. Aoi found herself training harder
because she wanted to show him a thing or two. Now that the invitation to
the Fifth World Fighting Tournament has arrived, Aoi can barely contain her
desire to enter the tournament and see him again.

- Personal Opinion -
- Ok....here's basically my take on Aoi Umenokouji:
Aoi is a character that can be a beginner's and an expert's dream. Aoi's
combo game is something that can be easily learned and can cause anyone to
cringe and rethink strategies. Being that said her combos string together
long and what seems to be damaging. In reality though her combos aren't as
strong as one would think. They seem damaging because of all the hits she
can string together. So for beginnners, they can at least get vets to even
back off for a moment and rethink strategies should they be able to land a
few of these combos, simply because seeing a long combo like what she is
capable of does tend to psychologically make a person say "What the hell
already?" She has a few strong attacks as well that can be abused like crazy
that beginners will love as well. Now as far as for experts, they will love
the advanced repetoire that she has in her arsenal. She is a master at
counter attacks and can use a very damaging and lethal mix up game from low
to mid to highs back down to lows all over again. In the hands of an expert,
this woman can make your life a living hell. With a devestating counter game
accompanied by a strong mix up game will leave any veteran and expert pulling
out all the stops and cursing your name without shame. The only downside to
her is that she is relatively weak. Once a vet has seen her ins and outs and
can tell what you are trying to use against them, especially if you're a
beginner with her and using the same old set of moves over and over, then
she'll be extremely vulnerable. People will learn when the openings on her
combos can be exploited and since she can't take a hit as well either, then
she'll be gone in no time flat. So when you start off as a beginner with
her, try not to get comfortable with her basics and strive to move on to her
advanced techniques. This is a character that can only be put to the
greatest of use once you've mastered her move set and put some time to
learning how to time her counter moves properly. It's not that she's a
character that is designated specifically for pro, vet, and expert players...
it's just that in order to realise her full potential, you have to learn a
balance of pressure offense and counter defense with her to win matches
flawlessly. No matter if you're picking up this game for the first time or
you've spent countless hours playing it, you can feel comfortable playing
with Aoi.
(User Character Tactics)
Ahhhh....the final chapter of this glorious guide of mine....to think I
finally made it this far. This part though isn't written entirely by me...
This part is written by all of you! That's right....no matter what I say or
do to tell you things about characters or explaining their ins and outs,
everyone has their own style and their own way doing things with each
character. In that respect I give to all of you this section. E-mail in
your tips, tricks, and fighting techs that you find to be useful for the
given character in the given situation you're in. The only way this
section can get bigger, is by all of you, so flood my e-mail box ok! I know
it's at the top, but for convienence my e-mail is:
I will give full credit to you that send in your tips and tricks, so be a pal
and help out those around you by contributing to this guide!
* Aoi *
- First and foremost I give credit to Sega for coming out with one kick ass
fighter. I've never been so jaw dropped before by a fighting game with all
that it shows off. I'm still going strong with it, so I think I'm now
turning into a Virtua Fighter fan! Way to go Sega, by making an addictive
game like this!
- Secondly I'd like to give creds to all of those out there that asked for me
to come back and make more walkthroughs. You have no clue how much I missed
doing these, and just because I'm in the Marines, doesn't mean I have to
retire from walkthrough writing! Thank you for all the support and e-mails
that all of you have sent telling me how good my past walkthroughs were and
that you all wanted to see more. Without the support, I think the drive and
the love for walkthrough writing would of left me a long time ago.
- If there's anything that you wish to add or correct in my walkthrough, then
by all means, shoot me an e-mail at email@example.com. I'll take
your comments and concerns seriously and get back to you as fast as I can.
You will be given the proper credit as well for contributing to my guide.
Thanks again, and I'll sees yas all later!

A Tottenham man has become the first in the borough to be prosecuted under strict new laws governing scrap metal collection.
Busuioc Dumitru, 28, of Park Lane, has been fined £800 for not logging every item of scrap metal he collected from people's gardens.
The law, brought into force last year, requires collectors to keep records of where and when they picked up the metal, along with who gave it to them.
Mr Dumitru was stopped in Seven Sisters Road last March as part of a joint operation between the council, police and immigration officers.
Although his fine for the offence amounted to only £80, he was ordered to pay full costs of a trial at Tottenham Magistrates, amounting to £735, along with a victim surcharge of £20.
Councillor Stuart McNamara, cabinet member for environment, said: "These new rules were brought in to put a stop to people making money from stolen scrap metal, theft of which often causes disruption and can cost communities dear.
Unfortunately, it has also cost Mr Dumitru too as – while he may have been doing everything legitimately – he failed to keep the vital records that are needed."

/_.jpg" width=120 height=74 alt="" border=0 align=left hspace=5>
by Dr. Tony Ash
Ask nearly anyone to name the best known and most popular of the Old Testament psalms, and the answer will be Psalm 23. This poem is honored for the beauty of its poetry and for the message of care and protection which it delivers. Aside from the literary appreciation, countless lives have been blessed by these words.
The author makes no request of God, but simply throws himself on the Lords care with complete trust. Neither does he complain about his circumstances, though the psalm does note various perils, some of which may have existed in the authors past. The text uses various images to depict Gods care for beloved people. The first and best known is of the Lord as a shepherd. This image continues through verse 4, though some see a second image, as a guide, in verse 4. The final image is of a banquet at which the author is hosted by God, and at which he is protected from his enemies. The writer is confident of rest, food, renewal, comfort, protection, goodness and mercy. He describes circumstances when all is well, and those when danger is near. In each case God is trusted absolutely.
We see here a writer who enjoys perfect peace of mind. His perspective is obvious from the fact he both begins and ends the poem with LORD (Yahweh).

"Potteries for the manufacture of coarse earthenware, and kilns for making fire-bricks and tiles of superior quality, a considerable quantity of which is shipped to various ports on the Welsh coast and to Ireland, have for some years been carried on here to a great extent, and afford employment to a great proportion of the inhabitants: the clay is found on Buckley mountain, and when manufactured into bricks, is calculated in a superior manner to resist intense heat" [A Topographical Dictionary of Wales, S. Lewis, 1834]
Church History
Ordnance Survey reference SJ 300671.
The district church of the Holy Spirit, at Ewloe, in the parish of Hawarden, was consecrated on the 14th of September 1938.
" ... one of the handsomest churches in Flintshire, and something new in the way of church architecture. The site lies on the top of Aston Hill and commands a fine view of the Dee estuary and the lands of Wirral beyond. ... Standing on its lofty eminence and showing clearly the outlines of the Byzantine style, the new church seemed a thing of beauty."
[From The Chester Chronicle , 17 September 1938]
The Clwyd FHS website has a photograph of the church.
Ewloe is a constituent church in the Rectorial Benefice of Hawarden - it is not a separate parish. The ecclesiastical district of Ewloe does not have specifically defined boundaries within the parish of Hawarden.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Albert Pujols became the first major leaguer to hit his 499th and 500th homers in the same game, driving in five runs to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Washington Nationals 7-2 Tuesday night.
The first baseman connected twice off Taylor Jordan (0-3) - a three-run homer in the first inning and two-run drive in the fifth - to become the 26th player in major league history to reach the milestone.
Pujols is the first player to collect Nos. 499 and 500 in the same game, according to STATS. About three months past his 34th birthday, he's also the third-youngest to get to 500. He has eight homers this season, all in the past 13 games.
Tyler Skaggs (2-0) gave up two runs in seven innings for the win.
