GOP: THE GRIFTING WING VS. GOVERNING WING – Primary week for Tenn., Kansas, others – DO-NOTHING CONGRESS HEADS HOME – Pelosi, Marino tangle on floor – RAND'S IOWA TOUR
By Scott Wong ( email@example.com or @scottwongDC)
GOP: THE GRIFTING WING VS. THE GOVERNING WING – Former Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio) writes in POLITICO Magazine that the political tea-party grifters are lining their pockets while damaging the GOP: "Political grifting is a lucrative business. Groups like the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the Tea Party Patriots are run by men and women who have made millions by playing on the fears and anger about the dysfunction in Washington. My former House colleague Chris Chocola is pocketing a half-million dollars a year heading the Club for Growth; same for Matt Kibbe heading up FreedomWorks (and I don't think Kibbe's salary includes the infamous craft beer bar that FreedomWorks donors ended up paying for). … These people have lined their pockets by promising that if you send them money, they will send men and women to Washington who can 'fix it.'
Story Continued Below
-- "Of course, in the ultimate con, the always extreme and often amateurish candidates these groups back either end up losing to Democrats or they come to Washington and actually make the process even more dysfunctional. Just look at what happened this past week, when hard-right House members with extensive ties to these outside groups, egged on by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, snarled up a sensible effort to pass a bill that would at least begin to address the crisis of undocumented children at the U.S.-Mexico border. It was an embarrassing display of congressional dysfunction, and it showed that the grifting wing has learned nothing from last fall's shutdown fiasco." http://politi.co/1nkaO4d
PRIMARY WEEK: ALEXANDER, ROBERTS AND SCHATZ FACE CHALLENGERS – Reid J. Epstein reports for the WSJ: "[F]irst comes mainstream Republicans trying to ward off tea party challengers in Kansas and Tennessee. Sen. Pat Roberts (R., Kan.) on Tuesday will finally see if the unforced errors he's committed will cost him a chance for a fourth term. Mr. Roberts, 78 years old, has led radiologist Milton Wolf in all of the state's polling, though Mr. Wolf has narrowed the gap in recent weeks. The Senate Conservatives Fund, which spent $580,000 to back Mr. Wolf — the most of any outside group in the state — said last week that a poll it conducted showed a mere nine percentage point difference between the two candidates. …
-- "On Thursday, the action is in Tennessee where Sen. Lamar Alexander, the leading Tennessee Republican for two generations, is defending his seat. Like Mr. Roberts, he has a reputation as a Washington dealmaker — voting for the comprehensive immigration package that passed the Senate last year. That vote, as much as anything, forms the centerpiece of Rep. Joe Carr's campaign against Mr. Alexander. …
-- "On Saturday, Hawaii brings a test of Mr. Obama's pull in contested Democratic primaries. Mr. Obama, who grew up in Hawaii, is backing appointed Sen. Brian Schatz and recorded a radio advertisement for Gov. Neil Abercrombie – Democrats who face challenges from the Daniel Inouye wing of the state's party. Mr. Inouye, who served in the Senate for 40 years before his death in 2012, made a deathbed wish for Rep. Colleen Hanabusa to take his seat. Mr. Abercrombie instead picked Mr. Schatz, his lieutenant governor." http://on.wsj.com/1xX1kBQ

FOR POLS, HOW NOT TO GET LAMPOONED ON VACATION – Katie Glueck reports for POLITICO: "Hillary Clinton is heading to the Hamptons this month, while Marco Rubio already kicked back by a North Carolina lake. Lindsey Graham is sneaking in some golf — and Mark Warner won't tell the press where he's going. It's vacation season, and for many politicians, both on and off the ballot this year, that means careful calculations about whether to take time off, how much time to take and where to go. After all, one awkward photo can be used as campaign fodder against them. (See: John Kerry, windsurfing.) For those pols hoping to take a breather this summer, here's how to do it without getting into trouble: Keep your downtime on the down-low … Consider a 'staycation' … Schlep your own bags … Ditch the grind, but stay on the grid … Play the 'family' card … Watch out for the cameras." http://politi.co/1meNCVj
WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD TELL VOTERS OVER RECESS – GOP strategist Ron Bonjean writing in a CNN op-ed: "During August, voters should be prepared to take plenty of Advil, because their headaches are about to get worse. Expect to hear Democrats complain loudly that Republicans are going to try to impeach Obama, that an attempt to sue the President is a useless partisan exercise designed to fundraise from conservatives across the country and that women should be very afraid of the Supreme Court decision on contraceptives. Republicans will shout that Democrats are driving the impeachment story to fundraise off their liberal base, that the Senate is obstructing progress to protect their vulnerable members in red states from having to take tough votes and that suing Obama is necessary because he isn't doing his real job of working with Congress. …
-- "The issues that matter are front and center in everyday American life. Both sides are going to have to address the border crisis and their solutions to the problem. We are dealing with innocent children who are caught up in this mess. The news has saturated America and is a common topic around dinner tables and water coolers across the country. People are concerned and frustrated that Washington has spent too much time finger-pointing at each other." http://cnn.it/1AOu2ZQ
THE DO-NOTHING CONGRESS HEADS HOME – The House might have delayed recess for a day on Friday, but Congress still didn't get much done, POLITICO's Seung Min Kim and John Bresnahan report: "Congress is leaving town for a five-week recess after failing to address one of the most serious issues facing the nation: the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Republican leaders in the House were able to recover from an embarrassing setback by passing border legislation late Friday full of political red meat for their conservative base, including revisions to a 2008 anti-trafficking law and more money for the National Guard. Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and his GOP colleagues also passed — over bitter Democratic objections — a bill to rein in President Barack Obama's program to shield undocumented immigrants from deportations. But the House bills have no chance of becoming law. …
-- "In the final days of the summer session of Congress, lawmakers reached a deal to overhaul the scandal-plagued Department of Veterans Affairs, provide aid to Israel and prevent highway construction projects from halting. Yet the failure of members from both parties in the House and Senate to send a border bill to Obama's desk served as the latest example of the apparent inability of Congress to come together on legislation addressing thorny national issues." http://politi.co/WW2Wku
-- "The Do-Even-Less Congress," By NYT editorial writer Charles M. Blow: "Congress is a joke. But the joke isn't funny — unless, of course, you're into dark humor." http://nyti.ms/1pTkynM
TRANSITIONS – JOHN HART, the communications director for retiring Sen. Tom Coburn, will be editor-in-chief of Opportunity Lives, a new media outlet devoted to "discovering real-life success stories," The National Review reports. "I'm really back to what I initially trained for," Hart, who has a master's in journalism, told NRO. http://bit.ly/1khnLkt

My new followers include @BillPolitico and @MarkHalperin.
TODAY IN CONGRESS – Both the House and Senate are gone for the August recess.
-- SEN. SAXBY CHAMBLISS, the Senate Intelligence Committee's top Republican, said five other CIA employees involved in the Senate snooping scandal should be fired. But he defended CIA Director John Brennan. "If I thought John Brennan knew about this then ... certainly we'd be calling for his resignation," Brennan said on CBS's "Face the Nation." ... But I will tell you that these five staffers that did this — if they worked for me, they'd be gone now. But the accountability board has been convened, and they will be looking into this, and they will be dealt with accordingly." POLITICO's Jon Prior: http://politi.co/1meLXPG
-- DAN PFEIFFER, a top White House official, repeated his insistence Sunday that "it'd be foolish to discount the possibility" that the GOP-led House would move to impeach President Barack Obama. "In the House of Representatives, John Boehner may have the gavel, but Ted Cruz has the power," Pfeiffer said on ABC's "This Week." Eric Bradner: http://politi.co/1s4jLGC
-- REP. STEVE KING (R-IOWA) suggested Sunday that Congress should begin impeachment talks if President Barack Obama moves ahead with an executive order that could defer deportation for millions of illegal immigrants. "I think, then, we have to sit down and take a look at that. Where would we draw the line otherwise?" the Iowa Republican said on "Fox News Sunday." "If that's not enough to bring that about, then I don't know what would be." http://politi.co/1s4jvat
RAND KICKS OFF IOWA TOUR – Beth Reinhard and Rebecca Ballhaus write on A1 of the WSJ: "Sen. Rand Paul hasn't said whether he will seek the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. But his aggressive groundwork seems to point to no other outcome. In recent weeks, the Kentucky Republican announced political hires in quick succession in Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan— states key to winning his party's nomination. Staffers mention a future campaign headquarters in Louisville and claim an email list of one million supporters, details most potential presidential hopefuls keep quiet. A super PAC launched by backers shortly before the 2012 election offers a repository for big donors.
-- "On Monday, Mr. Paul begins a three-day, 10-stop swing through Iowa, marking his 10th visit in this election cycle to one of the first three states on the traditional nominating calendar. Only Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) has made more trips, at 11. The early spade work serves an important purpose for Mr. Paul, a 51-year-old tea-party favorite elected to the Senate less than four years ago. As a central figure in a movement at odds with the political establishment and an apostate from his party's muscular stance on foreign policy, Mr. Paul must prove that he has broader national support than his father, former Rep. Ron Paul, a two-time presidential candidate who never won a nominating contest." http://on.wsj.com/1kh5xQ2
McCONNELL, GRIMES SPAR AT FANCY FARM -- James R. Carroll and Joseph Gerth report for The (Louisville, Ky.) Courier-Journal: "Sen. Mitch McConnell and Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes met Saturday for the first time in a year, sparring on the stage at the annual Fancy Farm Picnic in western Kentucky. With the crowd a bit better-behaved than in past years, Democrat Grimes hammered on Republican McConnell, listing a series of her contrasting policy positions and urging the crowd to respond that 'Mitch McConnell doesn't care' on each one. McConnell for his part took shots at Grimes and a series of gaffes she and her campaign have made over the past year, including a recent statement in which the Democrat's campaign confused Israel's missile defense system with efforts to stop terrorists from tunneling into Israel.
-- "But more than anything, McConnell continued in his campaign's primary election strategy, which is to tie Grimes to Democratic President Barack Obama, who is unpopular in the state. 'Kentucky is under attack from Barack Obama's administration and we need to fight back,' McConnell told the crowd. Grimes noted that Obama was not on the ballot. 'This race is between me and you and the people of Kentucky,' she said. A record throng of between 15,000 and 20,000 attended this year's Fancy Farm Picnic, a fundraising event for St. Jerome's Catholic Church, and some 4,000 to 5,000 people attended the political speeches, organizer Mark Wilson estimated." http://usat.ly/1tN4vON
COONS: AFRICA SUMMIT A BIG OPPORTUNITY – Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs, writes in a CNN op-ed: "Washington's relentless focus on crisis tends to cloud its ability to see great opportunities. With more than 40 African heads of state coming to Washington this week for three days of meetings with President Barack Obama, Cabinet officials, members of Congress and American business leaders, the United States has a real opportunity to jump-start what has been a slow evolution in the way we have engaged with Africa. It's an opportunity that should not be missed. … This will be the United States' first African heads-of-state summit, which puts us well behind our global competitors. China, which surpassed the United States as Africa's largest trading partner five years ago, has held five summits with African heads of state since 2000." http://bit.ly/1zNfubr
DIRECT MAIL SURVIVIES IN DIGITAL AGE – POLITICO's Tarini Parti: "Its obituary has been written over and over, but the political direct mail industry isn't just still alive; it's thriving. In an era of highly targeted digital and TV advertising, political campaigns are still banking on an old-fashioned, mundane routine: Voters picking up their mail and leafing through it as they walk from their mailboxes to kitchen trash cans. Campaigns, party committees and outside groups have spent at least $150 million on direct mail so far in the 2014 election cycle, according to a POLITICO review of Federal Election Commission reports and data compiled by CQ Moneyline. … Meanwhile, expenditures categorized as 'digital,' 'online,' 'web' and 'email' together totaled about $70 million." http://politi.co/1qU3ynO
PELOSI, GOP LAWMAKER TANGLE ON FLOOR – Mike Lillis and Peter Schroeder report for The Hill: "The partisan fight over the southern border crisis got feistier Friday night when House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and GOP Rep. Tom Marino (Pa.) got into a heated spat on the chamber floor. Pelosi had just finished speaking, and Marino was next at the podium across the aisle, when the two exchanged words about who's at fault for the recent influx of child migrants at the southern border. 'I did the research on it,' he said. 'You might want to try it. You might want to try it, Madam Leader.' The remarks didn't sit well with Pelosi, who waited until Marino was finished speaking and then crossed the aisle to confront him directly." http://bit.ly/1AKZqIL
FRIDAY'S TRIVIA WINNER – George Lindsey, reading us from Ruskin, Fla., was first to correctly answer that Vice President John "Cactus Jack" Garner was born in a log cabin outside Detroit. But it was Detroit, Texas.
TODAY'S TRIVIA – Dawson Hobbs has today's question: Today it is common place to see a slogan or product advertised on a state's license plate. However, that was not always the case. What was the first state to advertise something in word form on their license plate? The first person to send the correct answer to email@example.com gets a mention in the next Huddle.

How Does a Professional Organizer Shop? Part 1: Impulse Purchasing.
Holidays are a time when it is easy for the budget to get out of control. I am often asked how I avoid pitfalls, and clients sometimes wonder if I'm some sort of pod person that's immune to these sorts of things. I assure you I'm not a pod person, and over the next three weeks, I'll cover different aspects of shopping, and the techniques I use to not blow out the budget. This week, we'll start with impulse purchases. Next week will be all about sales, and the third week will focus on how organizing saves you money.
Let's dive in!
The first step to an uncluttered home is to not allow clutter in in the first place. We do that by watching what we purchase. @@Cutting impulse purchases and avoiding those oh-so-hard-to-resist sales is a big challenge for many people.@@ I'm not totally immune; I just look at it a little differently.
Do I impulse purchase? Hell yeah I do! However, when I do it's almost always within alignment of what's important to me. A client of mine and I were on an IKEA pilgrimage. As we strolled through the store, I found their bundle of plastic-ware. I looked it over, thought about how much plastic-ware I needed, then if this set fit my needs and the space I can allot to it.
Then I decided that I needed to liberate it from the store.
Right before I put it in the basket, I got my client's attention and said, "I want you to take note. I do, in fact, make impulse purchases. This isn't on my list." She was beyond happy that I too could lose restraint and veer from my shopping list.
The other time I impulse purchase is when it's something that I've been thinking about for a long time – perhaps some home décor, or a fabulous book I've repeatedly heard about, or something else that someone close to me has said I'd love. In these situations, it's because I run along the item that I've been thinking about, and I have the wiggle room in my budget to do it. For example, I recently saw a photo that mentioned using handled baskets to hold electronics. The front is neat and the cords run out the handle in the back. I HATE cord clutter, loved this idea, so added it to my wish list for later on. While at a Target run I remembered this tip, had some wiggle room in the budget, so went to the basket aisle. I found a cute one I liked that would work, and was priced well so I went for it. When I got home and put it all together, it worked beautifully.
How can you apply this to your needs:
First things first - as with anything you really want to do - set some goals. Start by determining:
1) What are your financial goals? For me this is paying off start-up debt, student loans, building a sustainable business, and also enjoying life.
Pro tip: track your spending and credit card balances. There are a variety of ways to do this. My preferences are spreadsheets and Mint. Looking over your finances regularly you can know when it's OK to splurge a little on impulse purchases.
2) What are the qualities of life that are most important to you? Your core values. I love enjoying fabulous food and drink, creating and maintaining a comfy and luxurious home, and spending time with vibrant people.
Pro tip: For a visual reminder, write out your core values on a little piece of paper and slip it into your wallet. This doesn't have to be fancy. A sticky note always works. However, double-fudge brownie points if you turn it into a cute graphic. (I love Canva.com for this.)
@@Think about your finances, and the things that are most important to you. Then only impulse purchase what fits within your budget and core values.@@
See you next time when we'll discuss something that tricks many people into buying things they don't need: sales.

Update below: The woman is the photo is likely not Daniele.
When Dick Donato entered the Big Brother 13 house, he told the other houseguests that he and his daughter, Daniele Donato, were not speaking and had only interacted once. In the Diary Room, Dick said, "Daniele and I haven't spoken in three years." He also said that to his fellow houseguests: "We haven't spoken in three years. We ran into each other once at my mom's house."
But they had dinner together this January in Orlando, Fla., at La Hacienda de San Angel, the new restaurant at Epcot's Mexico pavilion, according to a reader who saw them there. I assume Dick's mother does not live at Epcot. (Of course, as Jeff said, lying about their relationship is very possibly strategy on Dick and Daniele's part to make them less of a target, so evidence that they did see each other at another point is not surprising.)
These photos were sent to reality blurred by a reader who saw the father and daughter at the restaurant. Sitting across the table from Dick and wearing a hat is Daniele, according to the reader who saw them.
Dick tweeted that he was at Epcot on the same day these photos were taken, I confirmed. While they are not the clearest photos, and the hat the woman is wearing makes it more difficult to identify her, the person who sent them told me that "it was obvious" that he was with Daniele, because "she had that same pouty look on her face that she does on the show."
Even if they had dinner, they didn't necessarily have to talk to one another, but of course, this isn't Dick's mother's house, so he wasn't being truthful.
Update: Commenters here and elsewhere have suggested the woman in the photo is not Daniele but Amy Benallo, Dick's girlfriend, citing her hair color, among other things.
Second update and correction: Most likely, the person in the photo is not Daniele. Multiple photos of Dick and others posted to a Facebook album show an unidentified woman in a similar hat with Dick at Epcot in January, and she resembles the woman in the photos above. I regret any possible misidentification; obviously, as noted above, the photos are not especially clear, and the story relies mostly upon the photographer's identification. In any case, I apologize for the error.

Time for TED debate on Quality PreK! Let's Get Real!
If you are a teacher like me, who goes to school everyday with the aim of improving children's lives through education, please read this article in today's (06/14/2013) 'Education Next' – 'How Poverty Is Like Global Warming (& Other Parting Thoughts)'.
It is the last of a series of blogs between Michael Petrilli's and Deborah Meier, the highly respected 'founder' of the modern small schools movement.
In the blog, Mr. Petrilli's comments that "High-quality preschool, for instance, has great potential, but we don't really know how to scale up the kinds of programs that have gotten dramatic long-term results."
Read that twice.
What Mr. Petrilli is saying, by default, is that the programs that have gotten results (like Appletree in DC) have uneconomic teacher-student ratios and require lots of intensive training.
I completely disagree with Mr. Petrilli's sentiments and substance.
I've posted my response on the Education Next blog site.
But, just in case, moderators at Education Next decide not to publish the response (be interesting to see), I thought the issue is so important, I'd publish it this blog.
(Update: After 24 hours, my response not yet published!)
Mr. Petrilli might not know how to scale up high quality PreK but I do!
I have spent 10 years doing it – developing Jazzles ELA.
It is a highly scalable 'Arts in Education' early education/beginning literacy program that transforms children's intellectual and emotional engagement.
It's not theory; its at work in schools in the US and Australia.
Two independent theses proves it works for Kindergarten children.
Anecdotal reports show it works for PreK.
I cannot provide the long-term stats that Mr. Petrilli relies on because that is a chicken and the egg argument.
After all, the egg is now being laid!
What amazes me is that there are so many educators, like Mr. Petrilli, who make statements like this yet so few who invite educational innovators, particularly ordinary, 'working at the rockface', teachers like you and me, to present their 21st Century solutions.
Think about this way!
Despite nearly 50 years of national focus, the majority of children in the U.S. are still failing to read at a proficient level.
So academia and mega-publishers really can't claim to have monopoly on solutions – their record is not that good!
- Why do we place so much value on their formula solutions?
- Why do we never ask them to prove their solutions to engage diverse children on standard teacher/student ratios?
Why? Because if you can't engage, you cannot teach them? And here's a fact you'll never read! A 2007 PISA (OECD) study, showed levels of 'engagement' is the single factor that differentiated the nations with the highest and lowest levels of student achievement. And that goes for PreK too!
So Mike Petrilli, Sir Ken Robinson, Lord Puttenham, Geoffrey Canada, Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu, step up to the plate for a real debate on what constitutes a new model for high quality PreK that, unlike A+ schools, Appletree, (et.al.) highly scalable, highly cost effective (ok, let's use the word cheap) and transforming for the disadvantaged.
I'm ready! Let's do it on TED! BECAUSE it is a debate worth having!
And by the way, lets not focus always on poverty because there are so many abused and stressed kids we need to help too.
If you agree with this post, and your mad with the naysayers, use Twitter and Facebook to send it viral!
It's worth it!
Love it! New website 'Teachers' Letters to Bill Gates' is publishing messages from teachers to the Microsoft founder

The snow from the overnight storm that slammed Long Island was largely cleared from the major roads - including the Long Island Expressway and the Northern and Southern state parkways - by Wednesday afternoon.
There was at least one traffic glitch: The eastbound LIE was closed for a little more than an hour early Wednesday afternoon because of icing conditions.
The closure at Exit 51, Deer Park Avenue, in Dix Hills lasted from 12:02 p.m. to 1:18 p.m., according to the state's Department of Transportation. Traffic had been diverted onto the service road by the Suffolk Sheriff's Department.
A scan of the DOT traffic cameras showed the area was one of the few spots on Long Island where a major road was impacted by the aftermath of the storm.
Most of the major roads - the Northern and Southern, Meadowbrook State Parkway, Sagtikos Parkway, Sunrise Highway, Route 110 and even most of the expressway - showed few traces of the snowstorm by noon.
The state DOT said it had prepared roads with a brine mixture - that is, a saltwater solution - in anticipation of the storm that helped reduce icing conditions.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo also had ordered plows be mobilized to specifically concentrate on entrance and exit ramps on the LIE, an issue that caused major problems during the blizzard in December. The fact that the storm moved through so fast also allowed crews to plow roads quicker. In December, exceptionally strong, gusting winds created drifts that blew snow back onto roads after they had been cleaned, DOT spokeswoman Eileen Peters said.
Then, gusts hit 66 mph.
This time, winds were in the 25 to 35 mph range, the National Weather Service said. That reduced drifts.
Still, officials said the storm led to dozens of minor accidents overnight in Nassau and Suffolk. Police said there were no serious injuries reported.
A car hit a tree on Jerusalem Hollow Road near Moriches-Middle Island Road in Center Moriches, police said. Another car was in a snowbank on the westbound Sunrise Highway Service Road near Waverly Avenue in Patchogue.
Nassau police said 16 accidents involving 26 vehicles were reported between 8 p.m. Tuesday and 4 a.m. Wednesday. Police said numerous motorists were stranded.
Suffolk County recorded 48 disabled and abandoned vehicles during the storm, 63 total vehicle crashes, but no fatalities, County Executive Steve Levy said.
Conditions varied greatly depending on location. At 7 a.m., DOT traffic cameras showed a clear road where the Long Island Expressway crosses the Cross Island Parkway, while the roadway a few miles away - at New Hyde Park Road - was coated in snow and ice.
And near Exit 53 in Brentwood, there were near-whiteout conditions and the road was still buried in snow.
Route 25 was closed at Bay Avenue in Mattituck at 6:30 a.m. because of a downed tree, the DOT said. The road was reopened by 12:49 p.m.

Homeowners live in fear of termites. These social insects feed on the cellulose in wood and wood by-products, including the structural lumber of buildings. Termites of the order Isoptera first appeared over 250 millions years ago. Termites, cockroaches, and mantids all descended from a common primitive ancestor, a cockroach-like insect that skittered around among the dinosaurs. The name Isoptera means equal wing; primary reproductive adults have two pairs of wings, equal in length.

Description:

Isopterans play a major role in decomposition on the planet. Their ability to digest cellulose (plant fibers) relies on a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms in their bodies. Termites acquire these microorganisms from other colony members by eating their fecal matter.

All members of the order Isoptera share certain characteristics. They have pale, elongate bodies, and are sometimes called "white ants." Reproductive individuals have two pairs of membranous wings, all of equal length. Termites shed their wings after mating. To consume fibrous plant matter, termites have chewing mouthparts. Their antennae are roughly the length of their heads.

As with honeybees, the termite queen controls reproduction. However, in the termite world, the male reproductive or king, stays with the queen and continues to fertilize her eggs for life. Winged reproductives, called alates, swarm on warm days to find their mates. Successful pairings settle down and begin reproducing. Termites undergo simple metamorphosis.

Sterile termite workers perform the hard labor, building and maintaining the nest and caring for the young and the queen. Soldier termites, as you may imagine, defend the nest. In most species, the soldiers specialized defensive structures are found in the head region, making them true "muscleheads."

Habitat and Distribution:

Termites live in social colonies, usually in the ground or in wood. Members of the order Isoptera include over 2,000 described species, about 40 of these inhabiting the U.S. Most termite species inhabit the warm, moist environments of the tropics.

Major Families in the Order:

Rhinotermitidae – subterranean termites

Termopsidae – rottenwood termites

Kalotermitidae – dampwood and drywood termites

Termitidae – higher termites

Hodotermitidae – harvester termites

Isopterans of Interest:

 Odontotermes latericus, a termite species found in South Africa, forages for grasses and seeds and stores them in the nest.

Fungus-growing termites of the subfamily Macrotermitinae grow fungus gardens in their colonies.

 Mastotermes darwiniensis, an Australian species, is the most primitive termite known and the most destructive bug on that continent.

The African termite Macrotermes bellicosus reaches a length of 5 inches at maturity, and is the world's largest termite.

Archiv 477 8077, £12.72
Next year is "Pergolesi Year", according to publicity puffs attached to this disc. Now that anniversary fever is endemic, it is probably wise to make your pitch six months early to avoid the rush, though it will be interesting to see who else lights on Pergolesi in a year that marks round-figure birthdays of Chopin, Schumann, Mahler and Hugo Wolf, not to mention Ockeghem in 1410 or even Thomas ( Rule, Britannia! ) Arne, Pergolesi's exact contemporary.
Pergolesi was born in 1710, and is famous primarily for the Stabat Mater on this disc and for the two-act comic opera La serva padrona. However, when Claudio Abbado is at the helm of a project, one automatically sits up and listens. Apparently, this is the first of three releases in which he will celebrate the output of a composer who might otherwise tend to slip under the radar.
That wizard of early music, Giuliano Carmignola, is soloist in Pergolesi's B flat Violin Concerto, an agreeable piece written more in a lingua franca of the day than in a recognisably personal style. However, the zest of Carmignola's performance, together with Abbado's crisp rhythmicality and spruce delineation of light and shade, give it life. Abbado uses his hand-picked Bologna-based Mozart Orchestra, adopting polished period performance principles that entertain little vibrato and encourage lightness of touch. Soprano Rachel Harnisch and contralto Sara Mingardo are not denied vibrato in the Stabat Mater, nor Julia Kleiter as solo soprano in the Salve Regina, all of them bringing grace to their singing with tonal richness and expressive touches of verbal colouring. Abbado's own infallible sensitivity to this music is a compelling factor, imbuing the performances with freshness, energy and elegance.

Rooney may miss run-in
Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested Wayne Rooney is unlikely to play any further part in Man Utd's bid for the title.
Last Updated: 25/04/10 4:03pm
Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested Wayne Rooney is unlikely to play any further part in Manchester United's bid for the Premier League title.
Rooney, who has recently been struggling with an ankle injury, missed United's 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur after picking up a groin problem in training on Thursday.
United opted not to risk the striker against Spurs and Ferguson believes it may be at least two weeks before the England international is fit again.
Ferguson will continue to monitor his top scorer's fitness, although Rooney should certainly be back in time to be part of England's World Cup campaign.
Desperate to play
"It's difficult to say," Ferguson told Sky Sports when asked if Rooney would play again this season.
"Groin injuries are groin injuries and I think it will maybe take two or three weeks to be honest with you.
"We'll try and give him every chance, obviously, and Wayne will be desperate to play himself, so we'll just have to wait and see."
Patrice Evra was forced to come off during the second half against Spurs after being sick on the pitch and Ferguson confirmed some of his players had been suffering with illness.
However, the United boss is confident that the likes of Evra will be back in rude health in time for next weekend's trip to Sunderland.
He added: "We had a bit of sickness with two or three players today, but we've got eight days to recover, so hopefully we'll be okay.
"Evra just felt it yesterday, but he felt okay to play and it just happened. Maybe the heat brought it on a little bit, it was a warm day.
"I don't know what's happened, whether it's something he ate or is something going around the place."

O Anna Niemus
Definition Of Pro Life - Poem by O Anna Niemus
Prolife means no babybombing in Iraq or elsewhere.
Prolife means not to eat animals' murdered corpses called meat.
Prolife means not supporting state murder.. called execution.
Prolife means not killing insects.
Prolife means not harming plants.
There are many human chauvinists who call themselves
prolife but are unconscious about the Divinity Dance in all
beings. Two of the unconscious were Thomas Aquinas
and Augustine, who taught that animals had no souls,
while Francis of Assisi, Anthony of Padua, Clare,
and Mary knew otherwise.
(The above poem is not an opinion either way in the prolife
prochoice debate, for the writer not being omniscient has no
right to judge.
Most of us still kill insects with cars or by purchasing insecticide
sprayed food or in other ways.
Most of us still kill plants.
Yet each day we pray for grace to do better.)

For more information on parenting visit KidsInTheHouse.com
Oftentimes when I'm working with a parent and they are describing life with their kids, it's as if they're looking through a very small lens down on the ground. "I have to get my kids up, and then pick out their clothes, and then get them to the table, make sure they eat a healthy breakfast before they go to school." And what they're talking about are things – the minutiae of day to day life. But what's happening is their kids are in the home with them. There are relationships that are either being built or fractured.
When I work with parents I talk about lifting your head up. Forget the minutiae for a minute. Do an inventory of what life is like in your home during the morning routine. Are people making connections? Are people talking to each other? Are people eating meals together? Are children engaged in their own life? Are they taking care of themselves? Getting dressed? Talking to mom and dad? Interacting with siblings? And oftentimes parents report that there's very little of that going on. So instead we want to focus on what's happening between the relationships with everyone in the home. We want to emphasize that this is what really makes for a healthy family, that taking care of the day-to-day minutiae of life isn't really what creates a healthy, happy, sustainable family.
Now the good news is that once you shift your focus to the relationships that you have with the people in your home, the day to day stuff starts to take care of itself. You start to delegate jobs to people. Folks start to be more cooperative together. Kids start to take responsibility for their backpacks, and their lunches, and their homework so that Mom and Dad have more time to check in with their kids about how friendships are going or how the relationship with their teacher is. So it's really just a shift in what you're noticing. Then both of those things, the day to day life with kids and the relationship, start to work in balance with each other.

What does Obama need for deal?
The White House is playing the overheating debt-ceiling debate as cool as it can, imploring reporters to downplay the drama and asking the cable networks to forego their breathless "Countdown to Catastrophe" clocks.
Yet for all their public confidence in the ultimate outcome — administration officials say even GOP firebrands won't risk a national default and an international financial meltdown — there is a growing sense among all parties that President Barack Obama won't be able to extend the credit limit without making significant new concessions to congressional Republicans.
Story Continued Below
For a president weary of vertiginous high-wire acts, this might be the trickiest of them all: A test of his ability to avert another financial crisis and to secure a bipartisan deal that preserves his reputation as a grown-up, accomplished without chucking his core beliefs into the chasm or alienating his progressive base.
But conservatives in the House, feeling burned by a Congressional Budget Office report revealing that the deal on the 2011 budget they just made with the president cut far less from the deficit than originally reported, are in a fighting mood, intent on pressing for bigger and more specific cuts as a condition of raising the ceiling.
"The Republicans are looking at this as just another opening to force the president's hand, to hold everything hostage again," said Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), who predicted many House Democrats would buck Obama and vote against raising the debt ceiling if the bill had too many GOP cuts attached.
"The White House shouldn't cave, and the Republicans shouldn't count on that. The White House needs to be tough on this one," he added.
The $14 trillion question looming over bipartisan talks due to kick off early next month is whether Obama can negotiate a debt-ceiling deal as good as the relatively painless budget agreement he just got.
At the moment, that seems unlikely — and some administration allies fear that only a major disruption in the bond and equity markets, fueled by debt-ceiling jitters, will be sufficient to force the GOP to compromise.
"I think the House Republicans have shown a lot of early signs of attempting a shakedown," said Robert Greenstein, founder of the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington-based think tank.
"My biggest concern is for all of this to fail and for us to have a debt-ceiling crisis. …Given some of the hard-line demands of House Republicans it isn't clear that an agreement can be reached."
House Republicans have ruled out any possibility of cutting the deficit by collecting more tax revenue, and have proposed a raft of structural changes that are anathema to Democrats, including a balanced-budget amendment.
"We will make clear that real, actual cuts that get enacted into law are required, not the promise of future cuts by a future Congress. Anything else is a non-starter," a GOP aide close to the negotiations told POLITICO on condition of anonymity.
"Obama is trying to create a false premise that we need a debt limit increase immediately but reforms over the long-term, that isn't the case and is also a non-starter."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture. It was a name for someone who was a person who was referred to as Peat. The surname Path was originally derived from the Old English word which meant a spoiled or pampered child.
Path Early Origins
Kent where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
Path Spelling Variations
Path Spelling Variations
Path has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Many variations of the name Path have been found, including Peat, Peate, Peart, Pert, Pett and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Paths to arrive on North American shores:
Path Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Ardens
Motto Translation: Fervent.

HOMEWOOD, Ala. (WIAT) — Sales tax in Homewood will soon be a little higher. The city council voted unanimously tonight to raise the tax from nine to 10 percent.
The vote happened after a contentious city council meeting where the public was given a chance to discuss the increase.
Money from the sales tax will go towards a $110 million bond. A big chunk of that will be given to Homewood City Schools, which according to the superintendent, is struggling to keep up with a booming student population.
That said, the notion of raising the sales tax proved very unpopular with the public.
Not a single member of the public who spoke at the public hearing Monday night supported an additional tax.
"It's been rushed, it's been clandestine, it's been hard to get information. I don't trust that they have looked at every option or hired the right experts to make a wise and good decision on behalf of our city," Homewood resident Jason Strauss said.
But the council said they did their due diligence. Members unanimously passed the ordinance, which they called the only solution to an urgent problem with Homewood City Schools, which will get half of the money.
"The kid-friendly aspect of Homewood is so very important, we don't want to do anything to compromise or lose any of that," said Council president Bruce Limbaugh, who pointed out that passing the ordinance any later would cost the city even more money.
Homewood City Schools Superintendent Bill Cleveland said at the meeting that while the student population in Homewood have grown 30 percent since 2000, the facilities have remained the same size.
"We're just fortunate that we have a group of city leaders that understand the things that the community thinks are important. Certainly, the students are part of that," Cleveland said.
Cleveland said that while the school system is still in the middle of planning how it will spend the money, he believes Homewood Elementary School has the most urgent need for improvement.
Berkley Squires, the director of Parks and Recreation in Homewood also said at the meeting that there are not enough sports teams and facilities to accommodate all of the children interested in participating in activities. The parks department would also get some of the bond money.

Key defender Tom McDonald has signed a two-year contract extension, opting to stay with brother Oscar at AFL club Melbourne.
McDonald's future became a subject of much conjecture this season as contract talks stalled.
But the Demons announced on Wednesday that Tom and Oscar McDonald had agreed on terms and would be at the club until at least the end of 2018.
"It's not something you stress about every day, but it does play on your mind a little bit," Tom McDonald told the club website.
"I really wanted to stay and get a deal done, but you've got to be realistic and aware that things can change.
"I wasn't talking to any other clubs or assessing any other offers, but I was just looking to stay at Melbourne.
"It's a really good feeling to have it all done close to the end of the season. There wasn't much time left, but we snuck it in."
Tom McDonald noted the club conducted separate contract talks with him and Oscar.
"But we've got the same manager and it was good timing, so it was pretty special to get them done at the same time," the 23-year-old added.
"Once mine was almost done, I was told Oscar's was almost done as well and then I was told that it'd be nice to announce them together."
Demons football manager Josh Mahoney is full of praise for Tom McDonald, who has become one of the league's best one-on-one defenders.
"Tom played his 100th game a couple of weeks ago and he's played a really important role for us this year in leading a very young and developing backline," Mahoney said.
"Tom has developed into a very good defender and continues to improve his leadership.
"Both of these signings are very important … we're very happy that we've been able to come to an agreement on Oscar and Tom."
Meanwhile, Richmond ruckman Shaun Hampson and forward Sam Lloyd have also signed two-year deals.
Hampson and Lloyd will stay at Punt Rd Oval until at least the end of 2018.
North Melbourne's Kayne Turner, who was busted for drink-driving earlier this year, also recently penned a two-year contract extension.

text: Geographical notes close Places are defined in terms of modern geography. Born: 1931; New York, United States * Art Movement: Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Photorealism (Super-Realism, Hyper-Realism) Field: painting, printmaking, sculpture Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Flack Audrey Flack is an American photorealist painter, printmaker, and sculptor. Flack studied fine arts in New York from 1948 to 1953. She earned a graduate degree from Cooper Union in New York City, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Yale University. She studied art history at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. Flack's early work was abstract; one such painting paid tribute to Franz Kline. The ironic kitsch themes in her early work influenced Jeff Koons. But gradually, Flack became a New Realist and finally a photorealist. The critic Graham Thompson wrote, "One demonstration of the way photography became assimilated into the art world is the success of photorealist painting in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is also called super-realism, radical realism, or hyper-realism and painters like Richard Estes, Chuck Close, and Audrey Flack as well, often worked from photographic stills to create paintings that appeared to be photographs." Art critic Robert C. Morgan writes in The Brooklyn Rail about Flack's 2010 exhibition at Gary Snyder Project Space, Audrey Flack Paints a Picture, "She has taken the signs of indulgence, beauty, and excess and transformed them into deeply moving symbols of desire, futility, and emancipation. Flack has claimed to have found the photorealist movement too restricting, and, in her later years, gains much of her inspiration from baroque art. A pioneer of Photorealism and a nationally recognized painter and sculptor, Flack is represented by Gary Snyder Gallery. Her work is held in the collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the National Museum of Art in Canberra, Australia. She was the first photorealist painter to have work purchased by the Museum of Modern Art. She was awarded the St. Gaudens Medal from Cooper Union, and the honorary Albert Dome professorship from Bridgeport University. She is an honorary professor at George Washington University, and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Audrey Flack has taught and lectured extensively both nationally, and internationally. She wrote Art and Soul (1986), a book expressing some of her thoughts on being an artist.

It's been proven over and over again since 2013 that videos sell. Between the motion, the brevity, and the ability to "feel like your there", video picks up where still photos leave off, and then some! The number of tiny house video tours has increased three-fold in the last year alone and there is hardly a day that passes that there isn't another video tour of a house. What separates them though is quality. It is not enough to just hold a camera and walk through. YouTube videographers have employed the use of new tools including drone videography, gimbal stands for handhelds, lapel microphones, and more! The steps below are a good way to get started in turning your walk through with a camera into YouTube gold!
PLAN YOUR HOUSE TOUR. Before filming anything, walk through the house and take a few notes on the features you think should be highlighted Take notes of angles that show the flow of the rooms to the viewer gets a sense of the houses flow. Then move back outside and find an angle or two that best present the curb appeal or exterior view of the home.
FILM EACH INTERIOR SPACE IN SHORT CLIPS. Keep your camera as steady as possible. Using a tripod is a great idea and can allow you to pan left to right to give a feeling of 360º within the room.
MIX IN INTERESTING STILL SHOTS. Don't be afraid to mix in interesting still shots of either outdoor amenities or interior architectural features. Just be sure the flow is natural and that the still pics don't stop the movement of the video at all. Try using editing features to either fade into and out of photos or to create "snapshots" of the image.
USE AMBIENT LIGHTING. When possible shoot during the early morning or the "blue hour" of the day which is when the sun is at a significant distance below the horizon and the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue. This allows for a very natural and warm video. You may also want to employ the use of indirect house lighting such as side lamps, under-cabinet lighting, etc. Avoid overhead and/or florescent lighting at all costs.
BUY A LAVaLIER OR LAPEL MIC. There is nothing worse than seeing a great video tour of a house but not being able to hear anything from the person giving the tour. Consider in investing a simple, wireless lavalier or lapel mic. Something as simple as the Pyle-Pro PDWM96 would be better than nothing.
KEEP THE RUN TIME LOW. Videos with lots of views tend to run about 6 minutes long with some traffic tapering off just before 5 minutes. Be sure to keep your tour quick but complete. Don't run through the house but don't meander too long on any one thing. While you may think a shot of the sun glistening on the faucet is artistic, others may think it is immaterial and click away immediately.

Nikhil Dheer is learning from the best
He told CS, "Actors like them are like universities. Their work ethic is so strong. They both are so giving as actors and have no insecurities. I've learnt a lot from Salman bhai, not just as an actor but even as a human being.
As for Shah sir, just the way he approaches a scene is so inspiring. There's a hunger in him, that I identify with. It helps bring out the best in a co-star." Well, looks like Nikitin's learning from the best!

I order a hoodie with a quote on the front. After paying for the item I receved a confirmation email saying my order went through and would be shipped after the sale reached the time limit (at the time was 3 days left). So I waited a few days and tried to check the shipping status but it had nit beech up dated. I check a couple days later and still not updated. Finally after a week or so I got another email from teechip saying the shipment was delayed. Finally after a few Weekes I got my order in the mail. It was the correct color and size that I ordered however some words from the quote were missing. I contacted the support center and got a reply from tyla a customer service representative saying she put on a claim and I should receive an email from a claim representative. A few days later I received an email from DeeDee asking for photos of my hoodie. I sent them and got another email asking for more photos with measurements of the qoute which I also sent. Then I got an email saying that my pictures matched my online order and this which I copy and pasted from my email.
"Unfortunately, as our Terms of Service states, we are only able to see to cancellations, refunds, or exchanges for garments that are materially flawed."
Well after emailing back and forth trying to get my issue fixed I finally gave up on getting anything done. I will never do business with teechip again and i urge everyone else to stay away from them also. I will figure out a way to fix my hoodie myself.
Photos attached. First photo is of my order confirmation second is what I received in the mail.
Reviewer is in unhappy mood. Please immediately contact the author of this review to discuss not as described of hoodie. Teechip needs to read this review and look into the issue (if any) according to poster's claims.
Other people also mentioned hoodie in their reviews. You may find this information helpful for further shopping at Teechip.


text: I was filling a form recently and they asked what was my occupation. Well, then I was thinking... can we just write it down as "Internet Entrepreneurs" or "Online Entrepreneurs" instead of Internet Marketers? Google's definition: en·tre·pre·neur /ˌäntrəprəˈno͝or/ A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on financial risk to do so. A promoter in the entertainment industry. So I guess it fits the definition? We organize by building a website, outsourcing articles (maybe or by writing yourself), then using SEO softwares ot services to rank it. And there's financial risk as it can bank or just get shelved deep inside Google's SERPs. What's your say? Or what do you put as your occupation or when people ask you?

Ajax Spellchecker broke it
I'm just starting using Word Press. I have a Bog up and running, but functionality is not all there.
I tried installing the spellchecker pulgin today, and it killed the link from <edit> under any post to all management functionalities which actually work. I currently have no other way of getting to any administrative function.
I deleted that polugin, and functionality (such as it is) was restored.
Any idea why it interferred with operations?
