American Policy Toward Israel: the power and limits of beliefs [Audio]
Speaker(s): Dr Michael Thomas | Most scholars explain America's nearly unconditional support of Israel either as a result of inordinate influence by a small pro-Israel lobby or as the product of strategic choices by presidents.

That method involves analysing how policy advocates redefine, institutionally embed, and enforce versions of long-standing

guest post : favorites from instagram
while my family and I are enjoying fun in the sun in the Philippines, I've asked a few of my favorite ladies to contribute a little guest post for Unruly Things. this post is from Amanda Jane Jones.
I'm new to fairly new to Instagram—started my own account last May—and immediately wondered how I ever lived without it! I'm hooked. Over the past couple months, I've really fallen in love with a number of feeds. I've featured three of my favorites. I'm inspired by the simple moments they capture and their beautiful points of view.

Comments about Dermablend Professional Leg and Body Cover, Natural, 3.4 fl oz:
This product tends to provide good coverage only if it's used with something else, such as a cover stick. First, the area to be covered (bruise, spider vein, etc.) needs to be completely covered with the cover stick, then the body cover can be applied gently with a sponge. I find this is the only way this stuff works (along with the setting powder). For the expense, however, I feel this product should cover on it's own without so much difficulty. I have found that just applying it with the fingers causes too much to lift off, and the brush they recommend doesn't work so well either. It's the best I've found so far, and it does last once it's on the skin, but it needs some improvement.

Uchiha Itachi is one of the last of the Uchiha clan, he graduated from the chuunin selection exam at the age of 10, and when he was 13 he already became an ANBU Captain. Together with his brother, Uchiha Sasuke, they're supposably the only ones still alive after the Clan's massacre. Their clan, once praised as the strongest clan in Leaf village, was viscously wiped out by none other then Itachi himself. Itachi, a genius praised as the clan's future, killed all his family in a single night. Everybody except for Sasuke, he was left alive in order to avenge the clan. As Itachi himself stated: "At the moment you aren't even worth killing. My foolish little brother. If you want to kill me, despise me, hate me, live a loathsome life and cling to life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me".
Itachi, being an Uchiha member, has the feared Sharingan bloodline ability. An eye-technique used to copy an opponent's techniques, and see through their movement. Itachi, having fully mastered the "Sharigan Eye", is able to use the clan's ultimate eye-technique: "Mangekyou sharigan".
After the incident Itachi left the Leaf, and became a missing-nin. The reason why Itachi let Sasuke live and revealed the Mangekyou Sharigan's secret is unclear. It may be because only a Mangekyou sharigan user can kill him, and he wished to be killed by his brother. Or perhaps he really let him live because he thought he wasn't even worth killing. Either way, he forced his brother to live a painfull life, swearing that he will avenge the clan and kill Itachi. The reason why he murdered all members of the Uchiha clan is also not known. Although he said it was to test his ability, it's strange that Itachi already seemed to have joined Akatsuki prior to the killing. Itachi also informs Sasuke about a second Mangekyou sharigan user besides himself.
Itachi is currently a member of the organization "Akatsuki", an organization comprised of "Sly S-Rank Criminals" as Kakashi stated. Their ultimate goal is unknown, but we do know they're after the jinchuuriki and Itachi and his partner Kisame were ordered to track down the Kyuubi (The Nine Tailed Fox Demon) jinchuuriki, and take him back with them. In other words, they were ordered to kidnap Naruto, the host in which the Kyuubi was sealed. Some time after Itachi joined Akatsuki Orochimaru tries to take over Itachi's body, but fails and ends up having his hand severely damaged. After this incident Orochimaru leaves the organization.
Itachi first appeared in episode 80, where we breifly veiwed him and Kisame observing the ruined Leaf village, after Orochimaru's invasion. Itachi and Kisame get detected by Kakashi who is defeated by Itachi quite easily using the Mangekyou Sharingan. Kakashi being defeated so easily, searches for a way to counter the Mangekyou Sharigan. We have yet to see Itachi's true power, but considering his Sharingan and the fact that he's very skilled with genjutsu and ninjutsu makes him a force to be wreckend with.

University of Groningen
Siewert-Jan Marrink
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), provides from February 2010 onwards their Incentive Fund for Open Access Publications. The criteria of this fund have recently be widened. NWO pays each project a contribution for publication costs. The University of Groningen (RUG) welcomes the growing trend of Open Access publishing, since it will enlarge the visibility of its research. Siewert-Jan Marrink was one of the first researchers of the RUG to make use of this fund.
Esther Hoorn and Frank den Hollander interviewed Marrink for Pictogram, the information bulletin of the University of Groningen. Read the full interview here (in Dutch).
Quotes from the interview:
"It's a substantial amount. But our group is fairly rich. And in the end you receive extra exposure. The amount of citations, the extra attention for your paper outweigh [the costs]." (On the conscious choice of publishing OA in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in spite of the extra money to be paid)
"Formerly you would go to a library to browse through journals. Nobody does this anymore; I never visit a library nowadays. I view everything online. When something is not online available for me, it's quite frustrating. In that sense it is very important that others can also see your papers."
"It is common knowledge in my field that Open Access journals exist. I have the notion all researchers know about Open Access by now."
"I don't have any reservations [on Open Access]. Certainly with the existence of this fund. When you see how easy it is to promote your own articles... I will certainly make use of it in the future."

Re: Reds vs Rockies 5/26
Every situation isn't the same. There are times I'd give Drew the green light, but when Joey has 5 hits in his last 6 ABs, no way do you take the bat out of his hands. We're talking about a guy who is possibly on his way to his second MVP season, and you want to let him get an intentional pass? That's crazy.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN |

Expulsion of Jews from England (history sense expelling)
Take a look at these
Both of the above state that the expulsion is only if the person has
dual citizenship.
Where's your proof that stateless persons get expelled from Britain
regularly? Ah, it's another lie! I keep forgetting that you can
barely put two sentences together without doing it!
Nope, went straight to T1, didn't bother with T3 at all, no-one there
(T1) waving any expulsion papers!
Go ahead, write it in Yiddish, not some phoentic version that you've
mangled by using the English alphabet. I can't say I'd have a chance
of reading or understanding it since I don't know Yiddish, but if you
want to write in Yiddish, go ahead!
So, here lies the root of the problem. You are expecting us all to
believe what you say about the Government expelling Jews as we speak.
You also expect us to believe that there is some act of parliament
from 1967 dealing with the Jewish problem. Yet when I use the
Government to back up what I say you cry foul! You really are an idiot!
Nope, just stating the facts. Something you could learn from!
How do you know I haven't just been on holiday with them? No need for
me to call for a passport inspection at all. Just the usual, 'hah,
you look really silly in your photo'! So have you got any proof of
Jews being genetic liars? Thought not!
They're synonymous, given you've only mentioned one set of criteria, I
and anyone else with half an ounce of common sense knows them to be ridiculous.
So do I have a stamp in my passport as well? When can I expect my expulsion [sic] papers?
Nope, just the truth, if you don't like it, it's not my problem. I
know you don't like the truth which is why you lie so much.
So what was your reference to 'See above' all about then? Did you
forget what you were talking about again?
Babbling again. Just give one piece of historical evidence. You
claim you know so much about the Jews and their history, it can't be
that hard to find can it? Well, if you told the truth about anything
it wouldn't, but it's a little harder to fabricate believable lies!

Hi everyone. I wanted to start a group for stay-at-home parents of young children in Orange County to get together and do some fun outings, mostly during weekdays.

Who Needs Life Insurance?
Life insurance protects your family by replacing your lost income if you die prematurely. Some policies also accumulate cash and pay distributions during your lifetime. When purchasing life insurance, consider your individual circumstances, the standard of living you want for your dependents, and the assets that you want to protect.
In most cases, you need life insurance only if someone depends on you for support. The following can be used as a guide to determine if you need life insurance.
- Single people normally do not need life insurance unless they are single parents or support someone such as an elderly parent.
- Working couples without children or dependent parents usually do not need life insurance, particularly if the surviving spouse would make enough money to meet expenses and pay debts without exhausting savings.
- Families (including single-parent households) usually need life insurance because the children depend on the parent's income. The younger the children, the greater the need for life insurance.
- Older people whose children are grown and independent are less likely to need life insurance. A well-planned savings program should decrease the family's need for life insurance as wage earners approach retirement age.
- Life insurance is sometimes used to fund funeral arrangements. This need should be fully reviewed for the best funding source.

COLUMBIA (WACH/AP)—South Carolina State Senator Vincent Sheheen has announced he is once again seeking the state's top office.
Sheheen announced Wednesday that he is taking the steps to run for governor in 2014, confirming the common belief that he was looking for a rematch of the 2010 race, which Governor Nikki Haley won with 51 percent of the vote.
The candidate expects to have his campaign in place this summer. He first announced his intention in an email to supporters seeking donations.
The Governor hasn't officially announced if she is running for another term, but her former chief of staff left the office last fall to lead a "possible campaign."
Haley hasn't officially announced if she's running for re-election, but her former chief of staff, Tim Pearson, left her office last fall to lead a possible campaign.
Sheheen says South Carolina deserves better leadership, not more name-calling, however, Pearson called Sheheen a "pro-labor union trial lawyer."

Parts of a 2008 speech by Rick Santorum have surfaced online, in which he says Satan is subverting great American institutions. Its appearance comes at a time in the campaign when Santorum's rivals are trying to make voters think twice about supporting him.
Does Rick Santorum have a Satan problem? Specifically, is it a political negative for him that the Drudge Report all day Tuesday has highlighted a story about a 2008 speech he gave at Ave Maria University in Florida in which he said America is under assault by Satan?

"Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that [have] so deeply rooted in the American tradition," Mr. Santorum said in that 2008 speech.
Audio excerpts from the speech indicate that Santorum said Satan had successfully subverted academia first, followed by mainline Protestantism, which he said is "in shambles," and then the culture. Politics came last.
"The body politic held up pretty well until the last couple of decades," he said in the speech.
RECOMMENDED: Rick Santorum: Top 7 culture war moments
As to whether this hurts Santorum's electability, we'll just note that lots of people were making fun of this Tuesday on Twitter. We suspect, however, that they're people who were not going to vote for Santorum in the first place. On the other end of the spectrum, his committed supporters may shrug off the references. Because he was speaking in a religious context, he was using religious language, and "Satan" as a metaphor for lots of things is a pretty common usage from pulpits of a Sunday.
Will swing voters, or new fans of Santorum whose attachment is not deeply rooted, be put off? That's the real question.
Furthermore, the fact that this speech is surfacing now, at such a crucial moment in the campaign, should trouble Santorum's advisers. Where did it come from? The most likely prospect would be from the camp of an opponent who has the money to do opposition research and needs to slow Santorum's rise. You can supply your own names there – we don't have to.
If his opponents have this, they may have other stuff, too. Santorum is recent days has already spent a lot of time explaining what he meant when he referred to President Obama's "phony theology."

''Pakistan is a brother of ours, and as a brother Pakistan will do all to help Afghanistan to attain the best levels of safety and security,'' Mr. Karzai said during a state visit to Islamabad. ''That kind of assurance I have from Pakistan.''
April 23, 2003 World NewsFamilies fleeing harassment, beatings and extortion in northern Afghanistan arrive almost weekly at an impromptu refugee camp here, seeking shelter in patched tents on a dusty lot beside the city's animal market. More than a year after the Taliban government fell and commanders of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance took over power in the north of the country, ethnic Pashtuns in the region are still suffering reprisals and harassment for their past support of the Taliban government.
April 12, 2003 World NewsIt has been 14 months since the first prisoners from the Afghanistan war were taken to a naval base at Guant├Īnamo Bay in Cuba. The Bush administration says it can hold the detainees indefinitely, without allowing them access to family or legal counsel. Yesterday, a federal Court of Appeals threw out a challenge by some of those detainees to their confinement. The administration and the court are wrong. The detainees may not have the same rights as American citizens, but they are entitled to mor...
March 12, 2003 Opinion EditorialAt least 16 people, including women and children, were killed today when their minibus exploded on a bridge just outside the southern city of Kandahar. Local police officials blamed Taliban or other rebel forces for the explosion. The blast, probably caused by an antitank mine, gouged a large crater in the road, and hurled the vehicle and bodies around a 30-square-yard area. The driver and a 12-year-old boy survived, local reporters said; another man died in the hospital.
February 1, 2003 World NewsTo the Editor: The question of ''Detaining 'Enemy Combatants' '' (editorial, Jan. 10) centers on whether the fact of citizenship or one's behavior should determine the legal venue for prosecuting Americans who fight on battlefields against their own country.
January 16, 2003 Opinion LetterLeaders from Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan met today to work out the details of a deal to build a 910-mile natural gas pipeline through Afghanistan. On Friday, President Saparmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali of Pakistan are expected to sign a framework agreement setting up a consortium to build and operate the pipeline.
December 27, 2002 World NewsA suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance to the headquarters of the German contingent of the international security force headquarters this evening, killing himself and an Afghan interpreter and injuring two French citizens and a second Afghan interpreter. The attack was the second in 48 hours against foreign troops here in the capital and has raised concerns that a new campaign is starting against the international force. On Tuesday, two American Special Forces officers and their Af...
December 20, 2002 World NewsTwo American Special Forces soldiers and their Afghan translator were injured when an attacker threw a grenade into their jeep at a busy intersection in downtown Kabul this afternoon, American and Afghan military officials said. It was the first direct attack on American soldiers in Kabul since the Taliban fell from power late last year.
December 18, 2002 World NewsSIX weeks ago, in Pakistan's legislative elections, nobody -- not the semi-authoritarian president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf; not the religious parties who think General Musharraf isn't radical enough; and not the other parties in between -- emerged in full control. Now a government has finally been cobbled together through arm-twisting, party defections and backroom deals redolent of pressure from the president's office, and many here are disgusted with the whole thing. So the question arises: ...
December 8, 2002 Washington NewsThese days in Kabul there is a buzz in the air: new magazines and newspapers launching almost daily; film directors making movies; artists returning from exile; women clicking through the streets on high heels, flashing polished nails and made-up faces on their way to work; men sitting cross-legged on the floors of teahouses watching television and discussing the news. Some are even calling it the Paris of Central Asia. This is how life after the Taliban was supposed to be. As President Bush kee...
December 8, 2002 Opinion Op-EdA statement attributed to Mullah Muhammad Omar, the ousted leader of the Taliban, says the United States will face more ''hostility, chaos and destruction'' if it attacks Iraq, an Arab television station reported today. The station, Al Jazeera, said it was faxed a one-page statement from Mullah Omar. It provided no other details.
December 5, 2002 World NewsAn article on Tuesday about arguments before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by lawyers for 16 detainees at the Guant├Īnamo Naval Base in Cuba gave an incorrect breakdown of their nationalities. In addition to 12 Kuwaitis, there are 2 Britons and 2 Australians, not 4 Britons and 4 Australians.
December 5, 2002 Corrections CorrectionThe American military said today that a man in United States custody at Bagram Air Base just north of Kabul had died. In a tersely worded statement, American authorities here said only that the man died Tuesday night, apparently from natural causes. ''The matter will be fully investigated,'' the statement read.

December 2, 2002 World CaptionAmerican B-52 bombers hit positions held by two factions that have been fighting each other in western Afghanistan today, after American Special Forces came under fire, a United States Army spokesman said. It was the first time in weeks that the American bombers have been engaged in action in Afghanistan, and it appears to have been a warning to the rival Afghan factions to quell their fighting. The American troops have concentrated recently on patrols and search missions on the ground.
December 2, 2002 World NewsAn alliance of anti-American Islamic parties took power in this province today, voting in a chief minister who immediately announced a ban on alcohol and gambling -- and on music being played on public buses. In his acceptance speech, Akram Durrani, 48, who will form a provincial government from the alliance of six religious parties, did not mention his campaign promise to throw out American military and intelligence agents from the province. Bordering Afghanistan, the North-West Frontier Pr...
November 30, 2002 World NewsIN the movie ''The Mouse That Roared,'' a tiny European duchy called Grand Fenwick declares war on the United States -- not because it hopes to win, but because it is certain it will lose. ''There isn't a more profitable undertaking for any country than to declare war on the United States and to be defeated,'' proclaims Grand Fenwick's prime minister, played by Peter Sellers. ''Then the Americans pour in food, machinery, clothing, technical aid and a lot of money for the relief of its former ...
November 24, 2002 Washington NewsCongress has handed the Bush administration a chance to live up to its noble rhetoric about rebuilding Afghanistan. Last week legislators authorized the spending of more than $3 billion over the next four years on reconstruction and expanded peacekeeping for that war-ravaged country, far more than the White House has previously sought. Mr. Bush should call on the new Congress to appropriate these urgently needed funds without delay when it convenes in January. Afghanistan requires substantia...
November 21, 2002 Opinion EditorialAfghan security forces have discovered 55 pounds of explosives at a power plant here, averting a potential attack on the city's electrical supply, a spokesman for the force said today. The explosives were found on Monday in the generator room of the Sarobi Dam in the city's east, said Maj. Mike Edwards, a British spokesman for the multinational force that patrols Kabul, the capital.
November 21, 2002 World NewsUnited States intelligence officials have concluded that a recently recorded audiotape that was broadcast on an Arab television network last week is genuine and contains the voice of Osama bin Laden, apparently ending months of debate in the government over whether the elusive terrorist leader is still alive. An American intelligence official said today that an ''extensive analysis'' of the audiotape conducted over several days had convinced intelligence experts that the tape ''almost certain...
November 19, 2002 World NewsA federal appeals court today blocked a challenge to the detention of the 600 Afghan war prisoners held at the Guant├Īnamo Bay Naval Base, ruling that a group of clergy members and professors had no legal standing to represent them. The group, the Coalition of Clergy, Lawyers and Professors, sued on behalf of the prisoners, who they said had been deprived of their liberty without lawyers and had not been informed of the accusations against them.
November 19, 2002 World NewsTo the Editor: Re ''Pentagon Seeks Source of Photos of Detainees'' (news article, Nov. 9): Shouldn't our Defense Department be just as concerned about investigating the visibly inhumane treatment of prisoners from Afghanistan as about rooting out the source of the photograph that documented these abuses?
November 13, 2002 Opinion LetterA panel of three senior British judges used extraordinary language in a ruling this week to criticize the United States' detention of prisoners from Afghanistan at Camp X-ray in Guant├Īnamo Bay in Cuba. The three judges, ruling in a case involving a British subject held at Guant├Īnamo, said detention of prisoners at the United States naval base there appeared to be a violation of both international law and the concept of habeas corpus developed centuries ago in England.
November 9, 2002 World NewsDefense Department officials said today that they were trying to determine who photographed and sent to media outlets a series of pictures showing what appears to be a group of manacled prisoners in Afghanistan sitting on the floor of a military airplane and tethered to the airplane's walls. Pentagon officials said that they did not believe the pictures represented any improper treatment, but that their dissemination presented a problem because international treaties prohibit the display of p...
November 9, 2002 World NewsAn article on Oct. 13 referred imprecisely to the amount of land in Afghanistan that had been cleared of mines. The figure of 1.8 million square meters (about 0.7 square mile) referred only to land cleared by the American military by Sept. 3; other agencies have cleared a larger area.
November 3, 2002 Corrections CorrectionDespite saying last year that it wanted to move quickly to establish military tribunals for terrorism defendants, the Bush administration is now in no hurry to conduct such proceedings, officials and others say. A principal reason, the officials and analysts say, is that the pressure to bring some prisoners before a tribunal quickly to demonstrate swift retribution for the Sept. 11 attacks has faded.
November 2, 2002 U.S. NewsThe United States today froze the assets of a militant group that it links to Al Qaeda and whose leader is suspected of aiding the assassination of an Afghan rebel leader. The State Department considers the organization -- known as the Tunisian Combat Group, the Tunisian Combatant Group and the Tunisian Islamic Fighting Group -- a terrorist group but has not added it to the department's list of foreign terrorist organizations that are subject to other penalties.

Polka Dot Pom Pom How-To
Here's another fun project from Abby's room that I've had some comments & questions about, so I'll show you how we did the polka dot pom poms that now hang over her desk space.
These start with the basic principles of a tissue paper pom pom that are so hugely popular now for everything from birthday parties to babies' rooms. Click here to get the quick how-to from Martha if you've never tried these before.
As shown, you take some regular tissue paper (not the kind you blow you nose on, people, but the kind you stuff in gift bags), & follow the steps in the how-to. I changed mine a little by rounding the ends with scissors after folding rather than making a pointed end.
Once the poms were made, I added some flair by punching some little flower shapes out of black card stock & strategically gluing them here & there with Elmer's. The best way to do this is to hang the pom pom up while you work so you can get a good view of where you're placing the dots.
Once I was satisfied with the dot placement, I added one more step by creating some "prism silhouettes" out of a couple punches & a tear drop shape that I cut from more black card stock.
You need 2 of each shape to create this effect. I used a good thick thread tied to the bottom of the fishing wire in the center of the pom pom to hold the silhouettes. Once again, I used the glue to "sandwich" the thread between the two pieces & let them hang where I wanted them.
What variations of tissue paper pom poms have you tried?

The stage is set. After weeks of competition, strange challenges, inconceivable judges' scores, shocking eliminations, and lots of layers torn off, the final three All-Stars are in place for the "Dancing with the Stars" finale.
Five couples entered Tuesday night's results show, but only three go on.
The show kicks off with the judges asking for an encore performance of the rumba that Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina did. I think it looks better the second time around.
First results: Olympian Shawn Johnson and Derek are safe. No surprise there. And good – they should be. That spry little chipmunk really gives it her all.
We get a musical performance from The Wanted, which I perceive to be some sort of British boy band?
That's followed with a dance performance, by New Zealand choreographer Parris Goebel. She gives an emotional little contemporary number to "This Girl is on Fire."
More results. It's between Apolo and TV host Melissa Rycroft. Tough choice, but given the choice, I'd like to see chipper Melissa here next week. Apparently, viewers agree. She's safe, and Apolo's going. Good sport that he is, Apolo says the show forces everyone on it to be a champion.
Still doesn't mean you're getting a Mirrorball Trophy as a consolation prize, bud.
Apolo tweeted, "To all the fans who supported us and carried us so far-Thank u! I gave 100% every week, grown, shown, & had an absolute blast. # zeroregrets ."
Melissa tweeted, "OH. MY. GOSH!!!! I cannot believe it!!! Our fans are the BEST!! Love you guys sooooo much! Thank you! Thank you!!"
Then we get the highlight of the results show: a number not only choreographed by Paula Abdul, but featuring her dancing to her original hits.
Is your giddy anticipation building? Is everybody gathered round to see if Paula will mess up or forget where she is mid-act?
Well, save the schadenfreude; Paula did great. I'm not sure if she's really singing or not, but she's still a good dancer. Her "dream medley," as she calls it, is a fun production, complete with changing scenery, projection, virtual and live dancers. She "sings" to four of her hits: "Forever Your Girl," "Cold-Hearted," "Opposites Attract" and "Straight Up."
MC Skat Kat makes an appearance and, just when you think you've seen it all, a 20-foot hologram Maks steps out. Hologram Tupac's got nothing on this!
The final results? Nope. Another performance. Derek's back with some contemporary dance, which he says he doesn't usually choreograph, with faux modesty. It's not rocket science, professionally-trained dancer.
Final results. It's between actress Kelly Monaco and NFL retiree Emmitt Smith. I know people like him a lot, but Kelly has really thrown herself into this season. Besides, the soap opera veteran seduced her viewers by playing up the chemistry with Val. It seems to have worked. Kelly is safe and Emmitt is gone.
Kelly tweeted, "Thank you guys soooooooooo much for voting. @ iamValC and I are so excited. The support is overwhelming. # dwts # gh # teamvally ."
That sets the stage for an all girl finale. Based on the show's female demographics, these three make sense for the finale: chipper new mom Melissa, perfect daughter Shawn, and bodice-ripping romance with Kelly and Val.
Who will win? Kelly is a the wildcard; she's good but her quality is a rollercoaster. Melissa has been exceptional lately, but Shawn and Derek are built for this type of thing.
The finals air Tuesday night at 8 p.m. on ABC15.
Host Tom Bergeron says the couples will do a "super-sized freestyle" and their favorite routine. Then on Tuesday night's finale, they will do a third dance: an instant dance in which they will learn their music and dance style live.

Working on a team when you're the only one who does GTD
February 13th, 2010 GTD Times Team - Staff ContributorsCategories | Best Practices of GTD | David Allen | Implementation
A GTD'er asked:
I am part of a team with five teammates who are not using GTD. How do I handle the frustration within the lines of communication and organization/productivity?
David replied:
The more anyone around you is out of control, the more you need the GTD method! You can only be responsible for what YOU need to track about what THEY are supposed to be doing, and following up with them accordingly. Waiting For and Agenda lists are great for this (chapter 7 of the Getting Things Done book describes both of these in detail.) Of course, the more they get onto this method, the more they'll be doing their part… but you're going to have to manage yourself, no matter what.
4 Responses to "Working on a team when you're the only one who does GTD"
I have a similar situation with a similar sized team.
Firstly, GTD is like quitting smoking, you have to personally want it – I find evangilising to the rest of the team tends to be counterproductive (ego comes into it – 'he's trying to organise me is he? I'm a grown-up" etc)
Personally get round it by keeping Agenda lists (I've got a class of contexts just called 'People' – and as well as a context named after each person e.g. "Fred" (containing things I need to mention to Fred) I also have a second context, "Fred (waiting for)",
That way any time Fred agrees to a commitment I whack it in there, and then when I review I can scan through it and see what Fred has forgotten (as non-GTDers tend to forget commitments of course).
The one downside of this is that if you keep reminding people of things they've forgotten they have no incentive to improve themselves and may even become – ultimately you're being disciplined for them – they may even become even slacker if you don't watch it as they have a feeling of security since someone else is always there to 'remember' for them – so it needs handling carefully. I still try to point out the benefits of list use where possible, even if it isn't GTD in name.
Disclaimer ***
I've found, especially in working with volunteer groups (and official agencies, when you're the volunteer), that the GTD Magic happens within the Horizons of Focus.
If there is any power-play conflict/misunderstanding at the 20K level between me and the "other members of my team" or my NGO group and the "official first responder group", then any Next Actions can be doomed.
So much of what I encounter revolves around terms like trust, permission-based, liability, etc.
I've found that if members of my team can make their good intentions known publicly to the world, and then consistently show up to the other agencies as being viable (runway, 10K), then that's the first step. This means individuals on our team, and the entire team collectively, have to be really clear on 20K in terms of what we're asking to be responsible for. What are the boundaries? What's our game? What's already in place that we need to be working with?
The bulk of the effort is figuring out the dotted-line relationship connections at the 30K foot and higher levels. For example, dreaming up events that can be mutually worked on (between our volunteer group/s and official groups like PD, FD, Public Health, Communications Groups, Hospitals, Federal Agencies, just to name a few) while ensuring that the official group is acknowledged for what they do best and ensure nobody is encroaching on their space.
Another guaranteed formula is, during anytime resistance pops up, is to immediately expand the scope of the ideas at 30K and 40K to become bigger than BOTH of you can imagine. This works amazing wonders.
Once the HOF have been addressed and agreed on, then people understand why you're asking for updates, and they're more likely to perform the next action. You, as the requester, cannot be in-between the requester and the next action.
*** I'm not a GTD Coach. What I can say is that GTD has offered me the tools and structures to fast-track some really fun volunteer projects within my community and County. I've found, 3.5 years into practicing GTD, that our technical tools can easily overlook the Horizons of Focus — HOF is where the magic happens.
Final Comment — the final piece of magic is to be willing to surrender my ego being attached to what was actually created (possibly from my own first comments in a group). Once a Project has been accomplished, then you must hop back to 40K and work on the next mutually shared vision with all group – this could be a slight expansion of the last project by raising the measurable bar.
I've found that by staying on top of others' using "waiting fors" and agendas, they are more responsive to me. They know they can't slide things by me. Frequently in a meeting I am me typing notes into Omnifocus and setting due dates, so they know I won't forget.
I'm involved in academic/commercial research with project teams and, alas, am the only one who uses GTD or anything similar.
Funny thing is that now people have seen how the Waiting For, Agendas, etc work they defer to what I say is scheduled or was agreed to be actioned, almost by default.
It's a bit like the old saying "Get the reputation as an early riser and sleep til noon" except its more, "Get the reputation as the one who is on top of their work, and get away with the mistakes and mishaps we all make".
