"Tiger Mom" Amy Chua and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld, are back, this time with their take – an explosive look — at what makes some ethnic and cultural groups successful in America.
Tiger mom Amy Chua drove half the world crazy with her last book, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom," about "the Chinese way" of child-rearing – tough, unbending, demanding. Critics called it "abusive," "insane." It was a bestseller. Now Amy Chua, with husband Jed Rubenfeld, is back with advice for the whole society. Learn from the Chinese, the Jews, the Mormons, the Nigerians, the Cubans who are succeeding in America. Feel superior. Feel insecure. Control impulses. Win. Critics call this one a "new racism." Chua makes no apology. This hour On Point: talking success in America.
— Tom Ashbrook

From Tom's Reading List
TIME: The 'Tiger Mom' Superiority Complex — "A new strain of racial, ethnic and cultural reductivism has crept into the American psyche and public discourse. Whereas making sweeping observations about, say, African-American or Hispanic culture–flattering or unflattering–remains unthinkable in polite company, it has become relatively normal in the past 10 years to comment on the supposed cultural superiority of various 'model minorities.' I call it the new racism–and I take it rather personally."
New York Times Magazine: Confessions of a Tiger Couple — "The book is a work of Gladwellian sociology that enters the same cultural minefield as 'Battle Hymn.' Looking at minorities like Mormons, Nigerian immigrants, Asian-Americans and Jews, among others, Chua and Rubenfeld contend that successful groups share three traits: a superiority complex, feelings of insecurity and impulse control. America, they conclude, used to be a 'triple-package culture' before it succumbed to 'instant-gratification disorder."
The Jewish Week: Good And Bad News On Jewish Push For Success — "While anyone can possess these traits, their research suggests that some groups are instilling them more frequently than others and with greater success: every one of America's most successful groups believes that there is something exceptional about their group; being an outsider has been a source of insecurity evident in all of America's most successful rising groups; and contemporary American parenting is focused on 'feeling good and living in the moment,' while every one of America's most successful rising groups has inculcated disciplined habits into their children.

1 December 2011
ooph! Today has been as windy as yesterday and it has only just calmed down, the sea is a bit mad still so we've pretty much been in the saloon all day. The kids are just about bouncing off the walls, having been deprived of their daily romp on the trampoline - it's just been too rough to go out of the cockpit today. At least it's getting calmer now and so tomorrow they will be able to get out into the fresh air. And then we should be getting in to Opua in the early hours of Saturday morning. We've been on a daily SSB net in the morning with other boats heading down and now we have been checking in with Russell Radio who let customs know our ETA - it's nice to have that extra bit of contact every day. We're busy making popcorn and flapjacks before we get it all confiscated. Tomorrow is definitely going to have to be a potato day. Current position: 32.23S 175.36 190 miles to go....
30 November 2011
that pretty much sums up today. Winds picked up, three reefs in the main, waves in the cockpit. All well on board. Now, where are those advent calendars!!
30 November 2011
We had to do a little computer loving today. You know, the usual, hugging her, telling her we love her, asking her to keep going just a few more days so we can download e mails and look at our charts. But I think that the effort of going on to the SSB for e mails is taking its strain and she needs to rest for a while after each effort. I think we might just be in a pocket where she has to try extra hard to connect, so don't be surprised if blogs are shorter or non-existent for a while; we're just in a radio wave free zone. Now we've uninstalled and reinstalled some programmes, she's a bit happier, so let's see if she lasts long enough for us to get into Opua. Don't worry, we have paper back ups and with 450 miles to go she doesn't have long to go before she can have a well deserved rest! Winds have been light all day and we've been motoring, but at least that has given us hot water and so we all have had a shower and clean pants. Now I don't want you to think we haven't had clean pants since Minerva reef. No, I don't want you to think that! Current position: 28.37S 178.17E
28 November 2011
The wind has been 17-20 knots all day and we've been sailing at 6-7 knots. Just beautiful. We put in 150 miles yesterday which is a pretty good day for us and I don't think we'll get that again, but we are feeling like we're nearer and nearer to Opua - just 610 miles to go. There are other yachts around - within VHF radio range so it has been nice to chat and see another sail during the day. I forgot to mention that whilst we were in Minerva reef, Mia cut may hair again. Not such a good cut as the last time and Mark had to salvage it as best he could! I now have a cut just below the ears - my shortest for a while!! I might have to tie it back and grow it before I can go to the hairdressers for my first proper cut in a year. It's not that that there aren't hairdressers any where else in the world; I've just not cared much until now - before my job interview, I might have to visit the hairdressers!! Curr position: 26.12S 179.39E Oh yeah!! We have passed the 180 degree line and so we are now East! Two more degrees and we are exactly the other side of the world to Jersey.
28 November 2011
I'm excited. We are 700 miles away from Opua, the conditions are beautiful, we are putting good miles in. We have really noticed a difference in our boat speed now we have a clean hull and hardly any provisions left! We received an update from the weather man in NZ, who said leave at noon on Sunday and don't dilly dally. If possible leave earlier. So, we were all ready to leave at 10am, when another boat returned to the reef with autopilot problems. So we put the motor back on the dinghy and Mark went over to see if he could fix it for them. He found out the problem, but it wasn't a loose wire or a dodgy connection unfortunately. The motor was knackered and he couldn't do anything about that. Luckily, they have other means of steering so hopefully they got those sorted. We had to leave. Bob had said. Three hours later and we were off. We've caught up time nicely though, even passing another yacht (unheard of!!) And whilst I was waiting for Mark to get back, I cleaned the bilges, made some soup and some bread and the boat has never looked so tidy, so all was not in vain!
25 November 2011
It might be absolutely beautiful here and a paradise for our nature loving kids but the toilet still needs seeing to!
The kids and I spent the morning on school work whilst Mark cooked the fresh meat before it starts to go off. He's now made a few meals for our trip which will make it easier for us when we are underway.
At low tide we went back over to the reef, this time exploring the outer edge, where the ocean meets the reef. It feels incredible to be standing on the very edge of the reef (which took us about 30 minutes to walk across) with the waves crashing and then just stopping there in front of you. At the edge of the reef are deep crevices, a couple of metres wide with sea carved shapes cut into the rock. Mia finds a perfect ring - the Minerva toilet, and takes the opportunity to have a wee - timing her evacuation, so that the next wave in gives her a nice wash as it flushes through!
Then it's back to the inner reef for the kids to have a snorkel in the calm shallow, warm waters - even so, it's getting decidedly chillier, the further South we head - even Mia has taken to wearing clothes at times. Mia finds a perfect sea urchin skeleton and they both see a lion fish. Later Lochy tells me that he's glad it didn't bite him as it's highly venomous, according to his SAS survival guide. He's inspired enough to draw it in his school book and write a few lines about it.
There are now 6 boats in the lagoon - all the others are German speaking, which makes it much more difficult to eavesdrop on the radio chat about the weather! But amongst the chat comes 'nein vind' which I think means no wind so we'll probably wait until tomorrow afternoon or even Sunday before leaving.
And talking of toilets, Mark has finally found the cause of the mystery of the non-flushing toilet - and fixed it, giving him great jobbie satisfaction.

Lexington, Virginia • September 28, 2009
In these economic times, it makes sense for institutions to buy their food locally. Every dollar spent buying locally yields $1.80 in economic benefit to the local area and the state, according to Chris Carpenter, special projects coordinator at Washington and Lee University.
W&L is the leader in promoting this type of sustainability program, with 27 percent of W&L's food products coming from local sources, said Carpenter, adding that he expects that figure to increase this year.
Encouraging other institutions to follow W&L's example is a major reason for the Cultivating Sustainability conference to be held at W&L on Wednesday, Sept. 30. "This is a very important event for local stake holders in the building of a regional local food economy and how institutions affect that system," said Carpenter, one of the conference organizers.
Institutions such as public K-12 schools, universities and hospitals will learn about the critical role of their institutions in helping the state develop a local food economy. They will also discuss the challenges and successes associated with such an effort.
Hosted by W&L's Dining Services, the conference is expected to attract school nutrition and food service personnel, school and university officials, local legislators, administrators, farmers and producers, and anyone involved in food system development.
Featured speakers include:
Washington and Lee University, Virginia Foundation for Agriculture Innovation and Rural Sustainability (FAIRS), Shenandoah Resource Conservation and Development Council, Virginia Farm Bureau, Virginia Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE), Standard Produce Company, and Whole Foods Market are sponsoring the conference along with the Virginia Cooperative Extension.
The conference will be held from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. To register, call the Virginia Cooperative Extension at (540) 432-6029. The registration cost, which includes a locally grown lunch, is $20 before Sept. 28 and $30 after that date.

She screamed and she said Jimmy you come in the house this minute and leave that nasty dog outdoors and I said I won't come, I hate you.
Then mommy said Jimmy! You wicked, ugly little monster, and I said I don't care, when I get big I'm going to hurt you and throw you in the wood shed and lock you in until you die and make you eat coconut pudding and Bobby hates you too. And mommy looked terrible and I could feel how much she was afraid of me and I said you just wait, I'll hurt you bad when I get big, and then she turned and ran back to the house. And Bobby wagged his tail and said don't worry, I won't let her hurt you any more and I said Bobby you shouldn't have snapped at her because
This predates Harlan Ellison's "A boy and his dog" by a few years. It's told from the point of view of a telepathic kid who can communicate with his dog and read his parents' minds. Nothing exceptional or unexpected to the story, but the writing is good and the characters are all distinct.

Presents a response to a critique of a report on actuarial estimates for social security in the U.S., featured in the 1985 issue of the periodical "Public Administration Review." Potential impact of political pressure on the social security estimates; Controversy surrounding the use of confidentiality as a condition of research; Cause of the declining accuracy of the late 1970's and early 1980's estimates.
Social Security and the Politics of Assumptions
Public Administration Review, May/Jun85, Vol. 45 Issue 3, p363, 9p.
Light, P.C.
This article addresses the importance of economic and demographic assumptions in framing the public policy process. It examines functions of such assumptions as an important aspect of government and as a new challenge for public managers. Using Social Security as a case study, the article suggests that recent fore- casts have been inaccurate for four basic reasons: (I) the social and economic environment, (2) technique, (3) assumption drag, and (4) politics. Nevertheless, the assumptions have been crucial at several key legislative turning points in recent Social Security reforms. The article reviews the impact of political pressure in three specific instances and suggests an emerging pattern in the use and misuse of assumptions. The article concludes with suggestions on how to address the importance of assumptions in the public policy process.

Former prime minister criticizes Netanyahu at Saban Forum in Washington, says Palestinian UN bid could have been avoided. 'The sooner we reach a two-state agreement, the better it is for Israel,' he says
Yitzhak Benhorin
Published: 12.02.12, 11:03 / Israel News
Yitzhak Benhorin
He took advantage of his conversation with Washington post senior columnist David Ignatius at the Saban Forum in Washington to attack the Netanyahu government, stating that the current government "must be replaced."
Olmert harshly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
conduct in regards to the United Nations General Assembly vote which recognized Palestine
as a non-member state, saying that had Israel
spoken with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
the Palestinian UN bid could have been prevented.

Asked whether he planned to run in the upcoming elections, Olmert said: "In any event I am going to make a statement or an announcement to the public when I'm in Israel. I don't think it will be appropriate to make any announcement while I'm here. I don't think it's proper, I don't think it's the right way to do it.
"By the way," he added, teasing Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, "I think the same about American relations. I don't think that the right way to make announcements about American politics or to raise funds for American politics is to bring American voters to Israel in order to raise funds for American presidency."
There are many reasons to replace the Israeli government, he said, but "the basic point is the fact that this government is not dedicated to the process of peace in a realistic way that can bring peace.
"Maybe at the end of the day, in spite of the genuine efforts which will be made, there will not be peace between us and the Palestinians. I don't know. But I think that this is the primary responsibility of every Israeli government."
He added that "a friend of Israel should use every power persuasion he has in order to convince the government of Israel to immediately embark on the peace plan based on what I proposed, because this is the only peace plan that can be reached, and it must be reached not because of the Palestinians.
"I'm not a Palestinian patriot, I'm an Israeli patriot. Time is running out not for the Palestinians – for Israel. And the sooner we reach an agreement that would determine that there are two states, for two nationalities, for two peoples, the better it is for Israel."
Olmert criticized the Palestinians as well, saying that they had failed every opportunity to reach a peace agreement with Israel and that former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat was not a genuine partner for peace, as opposed to Abbas.
As for the negotiations with the Palestinians, Olmert stated that the most painful moment in his life was when he told Abbas that he would allow international sovereignty over Jerusalem's holy site, adding that he was elected as prime minister to make painful decisions – not to engage in nonsense.
On Thursday, the Daily Beast published an article by Prof. Bernard Avisahi, who said Olmert had written him that he believed the Palestinian UN bid "is congruent with the basic concept of the two-state solution. Therefore, I see no reason to oppose it."

Ben And Jerry's Introducing 2 Bold Ice Cream Flavors Based On SNL Sketches
By Jessica Rawden 2 years ago
Ben and Jerrys often looks to pop culture for flavor inspiration. Personal favorites include Stephen Colberts Americone Dream and Jimmy Fallons Late Night Snack ice cream, but fans of Saturday Night Live should be getting their own chunky and delicious flavors quite soon. Earlier this month, Ben and Jerrys announced that a slew of SNL-based icecream flavors would be on their way soon. More recently, the prolific ice cream producer gave us some hints about a couple of the newest SNL-based flavors.
As it turns out, Ben and Jerrys is planning a series of ice creams based on popular SNL characters and sketches. The first is Lazy Sunday, a flavor made of vanilla cake batter ice cream and named after the famous sketch from Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell that later even spawned a sequel. To add a little flair, chocolate and vanilla cake pieces will be added, along with a chocolate frosting swirl. That frosting swirl might not be quite as exciting as the gooey cores in the brands new core line, but it still sounds pretty tasty.
Along with the sketch-inspired flavor, the first amusing individual to get an ice cream named after her is Gilly, a character put together by comedian Kristen Wiig. Shes a schoolgirl with a mischievous side, and in the world of ice cream, shell be chocolate and sweet cream with caramely clusters and fudge-covered almonds and a marshmallow swirl. Thats a strange ice cream, but I wouldnt expect less for Gilly. Earlier, Ben and Jerrys even made a big to-do about promoting the SNL flavor via Twitter.
Unfortunately, if you were hoping to hop down to your local grocery store to buy a pint, you arent in luck, yet. The flavors are currently available live in stores only, although Ben and Jerrys has a great site function that lets you know the nearest locations for these yummy scoops. With the catastrophe that was Schweddy Balls still fresh on my mind, heres hoping that the newest flavors will have a longer shelf life.

While the 2012 Olympics have been widely applauded as a massive success for London and Team GB, the same cannot be said for the Team UAE. As the country's 30 competitors returned from London empty-handed, the UAE's only ever gold medal winner, HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Hasher Al Maktoum, called on the government to reform its approach to sport from its current "embarrassing" level.
Sheikh Ahmed, who won a gold medal for double-trap shooting in the 2004 Olympics, this year coached Team GB's Peter Wilson to gold in the same sport. "Looking for an Olympic champion [in the UAE] is far harder than finding a diamond," he said last week as he urged the government to encourage more children to take up sport.
And the UAE is not a country to hang around. Just two days later, the government announced a new project called "The Olympic Games in UAE Schools", which will see pupils aged eight to 15 in government schools take part in compulsory Olympics-style competitions. The idea is not just to find and nurture future Olympic champions, but to "instill Olympic principles and values in students" and to educate them about the importance of fitness and sports for a healthy lifestyle.
This, of course, is as important a part of the plan as future Olympic success. The UAE has one of the world's highest rates of obesity and obesity-related illnesses, such as diabetes and early-onset heart disease. Cardiologists attribute this to unhealthy lifestyle factors: Smoking, a junk-food diet and crucially, a lack of exercise. To date, there is no national guideline for the amount of sport in schools and, according to Sheikh Ahmed, there is too much emphasis on football at the cost of other sports.
But, while the British government gets bogged down in arguments about sport in schools, the UAE feels no such confusion. "We want sports to be part of our children's way of life," HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Matoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, told the Cabinet. "Preparation for global sporting success begins at primary school level." In addition to the school Olympics programme, spanking new sports centres will be set up in every educational zone of the UAE to enable continuous training of the UAE's new sporting generation.
With the government laying down the foundations, the baton is now handed to parents to ensure that their children participate fully in all that's offered to them. As Sheikh Ahmed said, "They can still drive their Lamborghinis, but drive them to a sports club."

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois lawmakers will convene a special session as called for by Gov. Pat Quinn.
It is expected legislators will move forward with plans to form a bipartisan committee to work for a compromise on pension reform. The committee was announced after it became clear lawmakers would not break an impasse over whether the Senate's or the House pension reform plan should be passed by the Legislature.
House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton will meet with Quinn on Wednesday morning to discuss the committee. Both chambers would need to vote to establish the 10-member panel before day's end. Quinn's spokeswoman said the governor plans to call lawmakers back in July to vote on any compromise reached.
The state's $97 billion pension shortfall is the worst in the nation.

Cappa Memorial Paddle Out and Concert
Posted By etnies in Surf, Skip To The Comments (0)
Mar 22 2005 / Tuesday
For those of you who may not yet know Anthony Cappa passed away three weeks ago while out camping and riding with his twin 6 year old boys. He went to sleep on Saturday night and just never woke up on Sunday morning. Anthony Cappa's photos appeared recently in Racer X, Transworld MX, Road Racer X, and various surf magazines. His photos graced the cover of Wide Open freestyle motocross magazine and could be seen in many advertisements, including those of etnies and Oakley.
Thank you to everyone that has participated in functions and been there for Cappa's Family. The outpouring of love has been great and Larissa and the boys realize how many people Cappa touched in his life.
The spreading of Anthony's ashes is scheduled for Friday April 1st as is the benefit concert and party for The Cappa Family.
The paddle out also has boats that will take people that don't want to paddle to just outside the surf line at San Clemente's T-Street beach. If you are going to paddle out then it is suggested you arrive by 4:30 P.M. at T-Street as we will most likely be in the water by 5 P.M. If you wish to go on the boat all are encouraged to arrive also around 4:30 P.M. at Dan Point Harbor and more specifically the Dana Warf. Donna Kalez has arranged the use of the 192 passenger Dana Pride for the service which will meet up with the paddle out. The Boat will leave at approximately 4:45P.M.
Following the paddle out there will be a concert and party at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. All proceeds from the door and silent auction will go to the family. Big thanks to Gary Folgner, Damian Brawner, Hans Sylstra and Paul Pontius for arranging what will be a great night of Cappa style fun.
If you would like to make a donation other than at the Coach House;
"Cappa Twin Fund"
Checks to be made out to Larissa Lasseter
mail : c/o Dean Rohan
244 Calle Pintoresco,
San Clemente, CA. 92673
The photos are of the service and of the cross that was built by Chris Powers and erected by friends of Cappa in Ocotillo Wells, CA. this past weekend where Anthony passed away three weeks ago.
Please spread the word to all of the people that you know that Cappa touched or that would love to have a good time at the Coach House for a good cause.
Thanks for all the support,
Cameron Steele

My gym has spin classes. For the very first time, I am considering it as an off-season add-on to my regular gym sessions.
Is it beneficial or waste of time? I currently do a program of 30minutes on the stairmaster, about 45minutes of strength training and 15minutes of stretching.
I am strictly a recreational cyclist and fitness enthusiast. In other words, I make sure I totally enjoy whatever bike ride I am on.

A while back I switched from Thunderbird to Zimbra Desktop for accessing an IMAP server I have here. The IMAP server pulls its contents from an Exchange server, runs it through procmail to sort it into folders, and then publishes the result to Zimbra. The reason I had this abstraction before was that I regularly use two machines, and each had its own Thunderbird instance.
With Zimbra Desktop I changed my modus operandi a little bit. I started using a single ZD instance on one of the machines, and then using an SSH tunnel to get to it through a regular web browser from the other machine. This also works fine.
What I've been wanting to do though is eliminate the IMAP server in between and just make it all ZCS. I could then access ZCS from each machine and everything would be fine.
My old machines were:
IMAP - Ubuntu 6.06 on MS Virtual Server (on a 2k3 VPC server)
Vista - Runs ZD service and accesses it using Firefox
XP - Tunnels to Vista and uses Firefox
What I want to do is this:
ZCS - Ubuntu 8.04 x64 on vmware (running on Win7)
Win7 - Browses to ZCS using Firefox
XP - Browses to ZCS using Firefox
That's all more or less straightforward (and I've accomplished most of it), except that I was using ZD with multiple accounts.
Now the problems start... I want to have two separate email accounts like I did with ZD -- each with their own incoming server and outgoing SMTP to relay through. Incoming doesn't seem to be an issue with the multiple account support per user in ZCS (and ability to send as any email, fetchmail would still work, and so on...) but outgoing seems like it might be an issue. I didn't see any obvious way in the admin UI to configure it to relay to this SMTP for this account and that SMTP for that account.
Unfortunately this is the only way these accounts will work, so I'd have to set up yet another SMTP relay with those kinds of rules if ZCS can't do it.
I guess my question here really is: am I going about this the right way? Is what I'm trying to do sane? Or is there a better way to handle using Zimbra Desktop from multiple places without an intermediate IMAP? (i.e. maybe I should just eliminate the IMAP server anyway, and there's some setting to tweak in ZD that would make it allow remote connections with a password?)

By now you've seen us heap no small amount of superlatives on "Short Term 12," the little indie that could that has been winning over critics and audiences so far this year playing SXSW (where it won Grand Jury and Audience Award for Narrative Feature), Los Angeles, BAMcinemaFest, Seattle and Nantucket. It certainly has been winning over every Playlist member who has caught up with the flick, and there's a good reason it made our list of 13 Films You Should See In August. And with the release date drawing closer, we've got an exclusive peek at the picture that highlights the captivating drama that is earning no shortage of praise.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and starring Brie Larson, Rami Malek ("The Master") and John Gallagher Jr. ("The Newsroom"), the film follows the lives of workers at a short-term foster care facility, and in particular Grace (Larson) and her troubled charge, Jayden (Kaitlyn Dever). And as you'll see the in the clip below, the line between the personal and professional is blurred in a job that requires these brave workers to connect with these kids but also keep a distance as well, a balance that's difficult to achieve.
"Short Term 12" opens in opens in select theaters on August 23rd and will expand from there. To see when it will come near you, visit the official site. Check out the clip and a set of posters for the movie below.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali was amazing and the event was very well organized.
A former member of Dutch parliament and long time human rights advocate, Ayann Hirsi Ali has lived in constant threat for her outspoken beliefs and collaboration with controversial director Theo van Gogh.
Her journey from "Infidel" continues as Ayann discusses starting her new life in America, reconciling with her Islamic past, and the personal struggles of learning to adapt to Western values.

Yesterday, American voters made plain their anger over the economy and their frustration with the party in power. But they often did something else: they supported clean energy where they could.
California voters defeated an oil industry attempt to undermine the state's climate law, and most members of Congress who helped pass clean energy and climate legislation in 2009 kept their seats.
The vote in California was particularly significant. This was the first time climate solutions were put to a public referendum. And despite the millions of dollars that fossil fuel companies poured into the race, Californians made it clear they want to build a cleaner energy future.
In an election when the economy trumped all other issues including two wars, it is no surprise why. Green jobs in California have grown 10 times faster than the statewide average over the past five years, and the clean tech sector attracted $9 billion cumulative venture capital investment from 2005 through 2009.
California isn't the only state that will benefit from shifting to cleaner energy. There are clean tech opportunities and jobs across all 50 states, and the vast majority of Senators and Representatives who support legislation to unleash those opportunities won reelection.
Some members of the House who voted for the American Clean Energy and Security Act lost, but most won. And some of the key leaders in the Senate on the issue, such as Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid, have been returned after tough races.
There is no doubt this election has brought a tectonic shift to Washington and economic issues will be uppermost. But those assuming new positions of power should be careful not to overreach, especially when it comes to undermining environmental safeguards that protect our land, air and water.
In his new book, A Force for Nature, NRDC Founder John Adams tells the story of when Newt Gingrich's 104th Congress overplayed its hand. The Republican leadership loaded the 1996 budget with dozens of anti-environmental riders and told President Clinton they would shut down the government if he didn't approve it.
"This time the radicals had gone too far," Adams writes. "Moderate Republicans balked at the confrontation." Americans rallied to support their bedrock environmental laws, and they blamed the GOP when the government was indeed shut down. When the budget finally got approved, all the worst riders had been dropped.
"In five months, we had turned back an apparently unstoppable attack, because public opinion rallied to our side," Adams remembers. "The 104th Congress had been so extreme, so crude in its tactics, that it had turned the environment for the first time into an issue of burning public concern."
There is no mandate for GOP climate positions in this election. Quite the contrary: a series of recent polls shows that a commanding majority of the public continues to support clean energy and climate legislation.
A full 62 percent of independents, for instance, see global warming as a problem that justifies national leadership, according to a survey commissioned by the nonprofit Civil Society Institute. Meanwhile, the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press reported that 87 percent of Americans favor legislation that would require utilities to generate more electricity from renewable sources, such as solar and wind. And 78 percent favor tougher energy efficiency standards.
Numbers like these constitute a mandate. That is why NRDC will continue to push lawmakers to pass the clean energy and climate policies that create American jobs, grow our economy, and cut dangerous pollution. And we will also keep up the fight to prevent the clock from being turned back on the existing environmental protections we all enjoy.

Jillina - 21st Century Dancer
"Jillina is the most innovative dancer we have in Los Angeles, every time I see her there is something new and exciting in her performance." An incredible mix of technique, stage presence, artistry, choreography, professionalism, costuming and star quality make up the dynamic performances of Los Angeles' hottest nightclub performer Jillina.
Jillina started her dance career by studying Jazz, Ballet, and Hip-Hop. She has developed and directed her own Hip-Hop Dance Company and toured with them in Europe, Japan, Australia and Brazil. During this time she performed at Prince's nightclub in Hollywood called Glam Slam.
While she was actively performing, she started looking at other forms of dance and started studying bellydance with Diane Webber. Taking classes and dancing occasionally at showcases eventually lead to performing at parties and nightclubs. Anaheed booked Jillina for her first professional gig on New Year's Eve at a Greek restaurant. Her first regular job as a belly dancer was dancing at the nightclub Casablanca in Hollywood.
At the time, Jillina was still performing Hip-Hop and Jazz. She made the decision to focus her entire dance career on Oriental dance because her bellydance performances were in more and more demand. Jillina found the movements of this dance to be more natural than the others she had studied. She started training more seriously in Oriental dance to further her career in it. Among others she has studied with Hallah Moustafa, Zahra Zuhair, Sahra, Feiruz, Angelika and instructional videotapes. Watching and learning from the videos of Egyptian dancers lead to her first study tour of Egypt. That tour solidified the commitment she had made to devote her dance career to Raks Sharki.
While in Egypt she studied with Raqia Hassan, went to all the tourist stops, and went to see Fifi Abdo, Dina and Lucy. Jillina had a revelation about the eastern approach to the dance; the feeling, emotion, attitude, internal energy - feminine and powerful, not sexual, "delua." Jillina now travels to Egypt annually.
Wanting to bring the dance to another level, Jillina developed a dance company called "The Sahlala Dancers." This wonderful troupe combines the heart and soul of Egypt with the glitz of a Las Vegas show. Jillina and the Sahlala Dancers have been the featured performers throughout Los Angeles - The Middle East Connection, Byblos, Carousel, Aladine, and Al Amir. Jillina has also been a featured dancer at such prestigious venues as the Hollywood Palladium, Universal Amphitheater, The Luxor in Las Vegas, and the John Anson Ford Amphitheater in Hollywood.
Jillina's solo number at IAMED's Second Awards of Belly Dance garnered her a Gamal Award for Best Raks Sharki performance. Since that time, she has appeared in numerous IAMED productions as a soloist and with her very popular Sahlala Dancers. She is also the Director and Choreographer of Miles Copeland's famous "Bellydance Superstars," which keeps her very busy with travel, workshops, video production, and concerts all over the world.
And as if that didn't keep her busy enough, Jillina also has her very own school of dance - Evolution Dance Studios in Los Angeles. Evolution Studios is well respected in the entertainment industry, and some of its clients include high-profile celebrities such as Beyonce, Omarion, Lucy Lawless, Leila Ali, Lisa Rena, and more. As one of Jillina's students puts it, "We don't just learn how to dance, we learn how to be a dancer."
Jillina and the Sahlala Dancers are featured in several of IAMED's productions which are available in the IAMED store, such as:

If you look across Adam McKay's filmography, you'll see that his comedy usually comes in pairs: Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby"; Allen and Terry in "The Other Guys" and hell, even Ron and Baxter" in "Anchorman." And even his latest producing venture on "Fully Loaded" centers on a pair, this time a couple of single Moms (Paula Killen and Lisa Orkin) whose one-night-on-the-town journey for a hook up finds them comedically reflecting on their lives, past relationships, children and more. We chatted yesterday with McKay, and asked him about another one of his famed comic pairs, Brendan and Dale from "Step Brothers," and if we'll ever get a chance to see them on the big screen again.
In fact, we nearly did. McKay and Ferrell were all ready to go on the followup to their 2008 hit, when the newsroom came calling. "We were literally going to go do 'Step Brothers 2.' Paramount wouldn't make 'Anchorman 2,' we had tried a couple of times, I talked with [Will] Ferrell, he wanted to do 'Step Brothers 2.' We love that movie 'Step Brothers,' it's one of the funnest ones we've ever done, and one of the craziest we've ever done. And we're like, 'Yeah, let's go do it,' " he said.
"But everyone kept saying to us 'Anchorman 2,' 'Anchorman 2,' and I'm like, 'Look, before we go do ['Step Brothers 2'] let's just make sure we try everything,' " McKay continued. "Literally our managers and agents were like, 'It's a waste of time, they're not going to do it.' I'm like, 'Just check one more time so I know it's 100%.' And it so happened they had a movie fall out, and they went back and they were like, 'Yes, we'll do it.' And we were completely blindsided. We had no idea they were going to say that. But it was a good problem to have."
But as fans may know, not only was a sequel in the works, but a rap album as well. With Dale and Brendan busting out the unforgettable "Boats 'N Hoes" in the film, the idea was to expand that into a full disc of tunes. And McKay told us that not only was it happening, but they had started work with the big-time producer behind hit songs by Katy Perry, Rihanna, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj and more (and yes, "Boats 'N Hoes" too). "We actually met with the music producer Lukash [Gottwald], and we actually wrote four or five raps, roughs of them, and were going to release the 'Step Brothers' rap album," McKay said. "And I can't remember what happened, but right in the middle of it we suddenly got super busy and everyone had to walk away and it's never been revived. We actually were halfway through writing it and Lukash was giving us beats, and we were going to do it."
As McKay finishes rewrites with Will Ferrell on "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" and heads into production next spring, "Step Brothers 2" is still a possibility, but he's taking a pause to make sure it's the right thing to do. " 'Step Brothers 2' would have been fun, there's no doubt about it. Maybe someday. Does that idea age? I don't know. It all depends on how the movie ages. If in five years people still give a shit, maybe we'd do it. We're not going to do back-to-back sequels though, we'd start to look pretty lame at that point," he said, suggesting that he and Ferrell also want to continue to develop original concepts as well.
But even the mention of the rap album seemed to spark a possible way into the followup. "I think that's probably the answer, the way to keep it alive, to do that rap album," McKay pondered. "So maybe that merits a phone call, you just reminded me of it. Maybe we should revive it that idea." Let's hope so.
"Fully Loaded" is available on demand starting today on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, Xbox, PSN, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, AT&T U-Verse, Verizon FiOS, Cablevision, Cox, Charter, and more.

What a crazy idea. Roy and the Wombles "mash-up" their respective Christmas hits and come up with this. I like it.

Another amazing live performance by The Move. How cool are these guys? Trevor Burton is playing his guitar backwards, Carl Wayne's lead singer histrionics are over-the-top and hilarious, bass player Ace Kefford is the coolest, and everybody sings and plays their asses off (especially Ace on that bridge - "Get a hold of yourself now baby...").

It was April of 67. The Summer of Love was in full swing and Denny Laine, late of the Moody Blues, donned the obligatory kaftan, grew a trippy little mustache, and slipped on a pair of groovy Granny Takes A Trip glasses, channeled his best McCartney look and released "Say You Don't Mind". Deram DM 122 was a great record, but it didn't bother the charts, sadly. After The Moody Blues, Denny formed The Electric String Band with Trevor Burton, from The Move, and Viv Prince, from The Pretty Things, so they 'may' be on this record. But for Denny, Wings was ahead. 5 years later, Colin Blunstone took this song to #15 in the UK
Deram DM 117 changed me. "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" by The Move. When I first heard this on Radio Luxembourg in March of 1967, I really couldn't believe what I was hearing. This record transcended music, and spoke to me in a spiritual way, as strange as that sounds. I quickly headed to a local department store in Trier, Germany, to the 'schallplaten' department, and bought the 45. I joined The Move Fan Club. I played this record continually. There are a number of 45s that I bought back in that era that mean a lot to me. They helped me cope with being in the Army at the time. This is one. "Painter Man" by The Creation was another. "My Friend Jack", "Defecting Grey". I still have them all. Whenever I turned on the radio, I felt like I had a good chance of hearing something amazing. And I usually did. This record spent 6 weeks in the charts and really put The Move on the map. Watch the video that Spike posted earlier from a French TV show of this song. It shows how powerful a live band they were. Ahh, yea, The Move!

We recently premiered the soundtrack to the the film, "Loves Her Gun." Directed by Geoff Marslett, we listed it as one of our 10 Films To See At SXSW Film Festival 2013, and part of that is due to the score by Hanan Townshend. The up-and-coming composer hit on everyone's radar when he popped up contributing bits of music to Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," and even more so when he got the coveted gig to score all of Malick's next film, "To The Wonder."

Taxi driver killed in smash up with truck
A taxi driver was killed on the spot shortly after 23:00 hrs last night after the driver of an out of control truck smashed headlong into his vehicle on Mandela Avenue.
The victim, employed by Oasis Taxi Service, was identified as Quincy Kellman of Belfield, East Coast Demerara.
According to reports, Kellman, said to be in his thirties, was heading west along Mandela Avenue, in the vicinity of B K International, when the driver of the truck, who was heading in the opposite direction, veered into his path.
There are reports that the driver lost control of his vehicle after overtaking a van and smashed into Kellman's taxi.
The impact was so loud that one resident said that she thought that gunmen were on the attack in the area.
The entre front of Kellman's vehicle, HB 3983, was crumpled like a tin can. He was killed instantly.
His body remained trapped in the wreck for several minutes until ranks from the Guyana Fire Service arrived on the scene and cut through the twisted metal.
Kellman is survived by an eight-year-old daughter.
The news spread quickly and the owner of the taxi service, and several of the dead man's colleagues, converged on the area.
The manager told Kaieteur News that Kellman was off-duty at the time. He described his employee and a very cautious driver.
By press time today, police had detained the truck driver, whose vehicle sustained minimal damage.
More details in tomorrow's issue.

MOONSHOT: THE FLIGHT OF APOLLO 11, by Brian Floca
Order from: Local Bookseller | Powell's | Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Simply told, grandly shown, here is the flight of Apollo 11. Here for a new generation of readers and explorers are the steady astronauts, clicking themselves into gloves and helmets, strapping themselves into sideways seats. Here are their great machines in all their detail and monumentality, the ROAR of rockets, and the silence of the Moon. Here is a story of adventure and discovery—a story of leaving and returning during the summer of 1969, and a story of home, seen whole, from far away.
"Reading Moonshot gave me the feeling I was back up in space."
"Moonshot is a treat to look at and enjoy. The art is very accurate, in fact more accurate than I can remember seeing anywhere else. There is little that is not complex and confusing about space hardware, yet Moonshot gets it right. Very wonderful art in every way."
"Moonshot is well done and should receive a warm welcome from many space age boys and girls."
"Moonshot is wonderful for keeping the dream alive for young people."
"The most significant legacy of Apollo is the inspiration it instills in the hearts and minds of those young dreamers who follow in our footsteps. Moonshot furthers the romance of once again going where no man has gone before."

text: One year ago today I weighed 249 Lbs., this morning I stepped on the scale and it says 212 so I weighed myself 5 more times to make sure. 212 every time. I lost 40 Lbs. in 3 months several years ago but had put every pound back on within 6 months. With the lifestyle changes I have made the past couple of years I feel very good about being able to lose a few more Lbs. and keeping the weight off this time. My goal was 215 by Christmas and to maintain that through the holidays, the year of my big weight loss Thanksgiving and Christmas were my undoing. Our family dinners always had too much food and I always had too little self control. Since then our family holiday dinners have scaled way back and my self control has greatly increased. I have been able to make it through the recent holidays without gaining weight and this year I have been able to actually maintain a gradual weight loss. My new goal is 198 by June 20th, our wedding anniversary, and then to never let myself get above that again. It hasn't been easy but is HAS been worth it.

What can I do to help our relationship?
I am 38 weeks pregnant and from the start I have been completely off anything sexual. For my partner this has had a big effect as he has a very high sex drive. At the beginning I tried to be fair and still be sexually active occasionally but still this wasn't enough for him. Eventually it came to a complete stop because I was just really turned off by the whole thing and he made things so much worse when he turned around one day and said it was as if all I wanted was the baby and that was it.. I was so hurt and upset at this as we had no plans to have a baby so soon. I tried to explain to him that my hormones are everywhere and for some woman they go either completely nuts over their partners or they're turned off in general. This has brought our relationship to a really bad place now and I generally don't know what to do! He was the nicest, most caring and loving person before I became pregnant but as soon as I went of everything sexual, he turned so nasty. I really need some advice..

I am pregnant with 2nd baby and have had zero sex drive both times. I've even thrown up when my husband ejaculate in me. Fortunately he is very understanding. Even boobs are off limits. Poor guy. On occasion I will give him a hand job and he is satisfied. Keep the communication open and he'll be sure to come around. Good luck!posted 05/02/2013 by Cutestbabymomma
Maybe you could take him to your next doctor's appointment and have the dr explain how it is normal for a woman to have a low or nonexistent libido during pregnancy, just as it can be normal for their hormones to make them want it more. In the meantime there are ways that you and your husband can explore intimacy and sex without intercourse (which I won't go into detail b/c it would most likely be censored, but use your imagination). The thing your husband has to understand is that this is not about him, it's about you and the fact that you are just not up to it right now. Doesn't mean you love him any less, doesn't mean you don't desire him and it sure as heck doesn't mean that you just used him to get pregnant. He needs to practice some patience and stop acting like a pouty little boy.posted 05/02/2013 by FaerieQueenofSnark
