Afghan war aims require more troops, admiral says
Vote recount: One of every seven ballots in last month's Afghan presidential elections — and possibly many more — will be examined as part of a huge recount and fraud audit that may force the incumbent, Hamid Karzai, into a runoff, Afghan election officials said yesterday.
U.S. Air Force death: Staff Sgt. Bryan D. Berky, 25, of Melrose, Fla., died Saturday near Bala Baluk of wounds from enemy fire. He was assigned to the 28th Civil Engineer Squadron, Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D.
WASHINGTON — The nation's top military officer told Congress yesterday that the U.S. war in Afghanistan "probably needs more forces" and sought to reassure lawmakers skeptical of sending additional troops that commanders were devising new tactics that would lead to victory over a resurgent Taliban.
Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said between 2,000 and 4,000 additional military trainers from the United States and its NATO partners will be needed to "jump-start" the expansion of Afghan security forces, and he strongly suggested that more U.S. combat troops will be required to provide security in the short term.
"A properly resourced counterinsurgency probably needs more forces," Mullen said in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Mullen spoke amid a growing political debate over Afghanistan as President Barack Obama weighs a recently completed assessment of the war by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander there.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the committee chairman, argued strenuously yesterday against the deployment of any more U.S. combat forces, while Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the ranking Republican member, said a delay in sending more combat forces would "repeat the nearly catastrophic mistakes" in Iraq before the Bush administration increased troop levels.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Defense Secretary Robert Gates remains undecided on whether more troops are needed. Morrell downplayed the possibility of disagreement between the Pentagon's civilian leadership and the uniformed forces, saying that Gates "clearly has a great deal of respect for Admiral Mullen," who was seeking Senate confirmation for a second term as chairman, following Gates' recommendation to Obama.
Gates has long worried publicly that too large a force in Afghanistan would be self-defeating because Afghans would see the troops as occupiers, but he has recently sounded resigned to at least a small expansion.
Gates and Mullen are participating in high-level administration discussions over the way forward in Afghanistan, based on recommendations from McChrystal for adjustments in the strategy Obama announced in March. Since then, the number of Taliban attacks and U.S. casualties have risen to their highest rates of the eight-year war.
Fifty-one U.S. troops died in Afghanistan in August.
A CNN poll conducted this month said 39 percent supported the war and 58 percent opposed it. That compared with 53 percent supporting and 46 percent opposing in early April.
With public anxiety rising, many Democratic lawmakers are awaiting a decision by the president, and a White House strategy to sell it.
"I want to hear from the president, and not just on combat troops," Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., said in an interview. For most Americans, Kaufman said, eight years "is an eternity, and now they come in asking for another batch of troops? What's that all about?"
Obama has ordered an additional 17,000 U.S. combat troops and 4,000 trainers to Afghanistan this year, which will bring the total number of U.S. service members in the country to 68,000 by the end of 2009.
Levin said accelerated efforts to train and equip Afghan security forces should precede any deployment of U.S. troops beyond those already committed by the Obama administration.
Mullen told the Senate panel he did not know what ratio of combat to training forces would be needed. He estimated that NATO contributions would not be large and it will take two to three years to produce a sufficient number of Afghan soldiers and police.

EDITOR'S NOTE: What does a pro athlete do when the cheering (or booing) stops? Paul Shirley, a former member of the Chicago Bulls, answers that question in his first essay in a monthly series for ChiSide. Read his previous & forthcoming essays, here.
I don't spend much (if any) time poring over plays from my long basketball past. But last winter, when someone sent me a YouTube clip of a play from my college days, I couldn't help but watch it—again and again and again.
I didn't keep watching because I was interested in how high I jumped, or in how hard I slammed the ball through the hoop, or because I wanted to re-live one of my worst haircuts. I kept hitting Play because I was fascinated by how easily I recalled the feelings that coursed through me during plays such as that one, transporting me back in time.
In this particular play, my college teammate, Jamaal Tinsley, made into fools several members of the University of Colorado backcourt before throwing the ball to me for a one-handed dunk that might even be called ferocious, if you need an adjective. Tinsley's ball-handling tricks served as the final sentence in a masterful short story; my dunk was the exclamation point. The crowd released its tension in an avalanche of happy noise.
For me, it was an incomparable rush; better than the most intense sexual encounter I've ever had. (Which might be an indictment of my sex life, but probably isn't—sorry, no hyperlinks here.) Even as I watched the video more than a decade later, I felt something similar to sexual release: a chill down my spine, sagging shoulders, relaxation in my lower back.
I've never done cocaine. But that feeling—the sense that I had just brought about a palpable crescendo of enthusiasm in 14,000 people, most of whom were paying rapt attention to my every movement—is exactly what I imagine cocaine would be like: intense, immediate, and incredibly pleasurable.
And just as dangerous—because that feeling was one of the reasons I played basketball.
But that feeling wasn't why I started playing basketball.
What changed? And why?
When I started playing basketball, I loved it like almost nothing else. Loved like I couldn't live without it. Loved like it gave me peace, made me better, made me love myself.
But when a game you love becomes something that makes others love you—when it becomes a job and a claim to fame—something precious gets lost along the way. It did for me, anyway.
When people meet me and find out that I played professional basketball, they often assume that I did so because I'm tall–that I looked like a basketball player, so someone put a ball in my hands, and a career followed as naturally as a summer follows spring.
Not so.
I started playing basketball when I was 12. I'd played baseball since I was 8; back then, I was sure I would play for the Royals someday. The problem with baseball, though, was that you needed other people to do it. And because I was rapidly developing the personality that has been with me ever since (prone to anxiety, depression, and general chaos of thought), I liked that I could go to a place where I could be alone and lose myself in the rhythm of dribble, dribble, shoot, chase (I practiced on a gravel driveway that caused plenty of errant bounces).
Basketball offered a calm, meditative place, a place where it didn't matter if my parents were fighting, if Hannah Janson didn't like me, and if I wasn't all that excited about tomorrow's algebra test.
It was my own world, not so different from the world inhabited by a musician, a dancer, or that kid you know who plays too much Call Of Duty. Inevitably, though, that world was joined by, merged with and perhaps spoiled by another world: the world of other people.
During my first basketball game—in some forgettable recreational tournament in Oskaloosa, Kan., with baskets only eight feet off the ground—my coach couldn't understand why I was struggling to process his instructions. Finally, he walked onto the court and grabbed me by the shoulders.
"No," he said, "between your man and the basket."
Like Amare Stoudemire, it had never occurred to me to play defense.
In rec leagues, intramurals, and seventh-grade basketball, you wouldn't have pegged me as someone who would someday play in the NBA, but I do recall an afternoon when a coach pulled me aside to say, with an exasperated sigh, that because my teammates were nearly worthless, he needed me to shoot more.
In eighth grade, my team won one game and lost twelve. But in that one win, when the coach finally installed me at point guard and I scored 23 points, I realized something: Team sports weren't all bad; there was pleasure in victory and camaraderie that accompanies the pursuit of it.
There were boundaries and rules, too, but the variables within those boundaries and rules were infinite. There was no telling where players would go, no way to know whether Scott Schuler would make a three-pointer from the corner or dribble the ball off his shoe. In this chaos, patterns emerged, and I was better than most at seeing them. I liked solving the problems basketball threw at me.
I was small then. Well, maybe not small, but smaller. My first driver's license (at 14, because this was Kansas) stated that I was 5-foot-11 and 120 pounds. Not bad if you're a runway model, but not great for a power forward.
So I stayed at point guard, learning how the game worked by having the ball in my hands most of the time. I still wasn't very good; I didn't play varsity as a freshman. But I was getting better.
The guy who coached my eighth-grade team didn't know much about basketball, but he knew something about motivation.
"How much you practice last night?" he'd ask.
Thirty minutes. A nod.
An hour. A smile.
An hour and a half. A slap on the back.
I wanted him to be proud of me. Why? He seemed cool, I guess. He'd played football in college.
I'd found my first guide, or maybe the first person I wanted to impress other than my parents.
When I was a freshman in high school, I started playing at the Topeka YMCA, a grim place with dim lights that made everything yellow. The Y league had better basketball than I was used to. There were black kids who could do things with the ball that I'd seen only on TV. But there were also kids who couldn't play at all, who were only there because their parents paid $45 to get them on the court.
At those Y games, I heard rumblings of a secret league—one that took place in the summer at a Topeka high school. And so, after a YMCA league game, still sweaty in a red cotton jersey, I walked up to Lloyd Murphy, the league's de facto commissioner, and asked him about the mystery league.
I thought you'd never ask, he said, and he gave me Jim Gilbert's phone number.
Jim Gilbert looked like Buddha, round in the middle and bald on top. He had a pointed beard and smelled like menthol and seemed like he was 50. Probably, he was only 38. He invited me to play.
I left Gilbert's first practice in tears. My mother was with me, which made things worse. I needed her there to comfort me, but I didn't want to need her there to comfort me.
I'd had my shot blocked something like a million times.
I can't do this, I said.
Yes you can, she said.
My team was made up of juniors and seniors from Topeka area high schools. I was just finishing my freshman year. I assumed most of them would eventually play in college. Only one of them did. Two of them got shot, one of them dead. There's a park in Topeka named after him.
That first summer was like a glimpse of the NBA for me. The players were too fast, the lights too bright. I stayed as far as I could from the basket, shooting if I was open, passing and ducking if I wasn't.
I can't imagine why Jim Gilbert kept me around. Maybe he was just glad to have one player whose parents were paying. Whatever the reason, his confidence inspired me.
A subtle shift was taking place in me now. I wasn't playing entirely for myself anymore, but for the approval of my coaches, too. There's nothing wrong with that. These were good men helping me become a better player and possibly even a better person. But this is where it begins, I think, as you go from doing something because you love it to doing it, at least in part, because others love to see you doing it.
I got better, of course, or I wouldn't be telling this story. How? Why? Because I was lucky, and I was blessed with better-than-average hand-eye coordination. And because I was a little crazy. No matter your height, you don't make it from a tiny town in Kansas to the NBA if you don't at least border on obsessive-compulsive.
One summer day, ashamed that I couldn't shoot a left-handed layup as well as a right-handed one, I stayed on the left side of the basket until I could. Twenty minutes later, and voila, my left hand was fine.
I was 6-foot-4 as a sophomore, 6-7 as a junior, and 6-8 as a senior. Point guard became small forward, and small forward became center, because when your high school class only has 55 people, there aren't a lot of other options.
Basketball was still an escape. I could let it all out on the court—whatever I had inside, whether it was confusion or rage or good, old-fashioned rampant teenaged testosterone. When I stepped over the thick, black line that marked the basketball court at Jefferson West High, I could be whoever I wanted to be.
But it wasn't that simple anymore. Now, I wanted to be good for other people, as well as myself; for that eighth grade coach, for Jim Gilbert, the college coaches who had started coming around, the parents of friends, who thought I was special because I had scholarship offers, the girls (even though I skipped prom because there was an AAU tournament the next morning).
In college it got even more complicated. I was a big man on campus, someone important. I was playing—starting, even—at a nationally-ranked Division I school.
Yet my senior year at Iowa State was miserable. Most of my teammates were mercenaries who cared as much for the game of basketball as they did the sorority girls they threw away, one after another. This wasn't why I'd started playing.
At one point I told my mother I was sick of basketball, that even though a professional career looked possible, I'd never play again when the year was done. But after graduation, I took a week-long deep breath and played in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. And maybe because I was away from the expectations of campus life, or maybe because I reminded myself of why I started playing in the first place, the game was fun again.
Then came the pros—the NBA, Greece, Spain, Russia.
Now the game I loved was also a job.
Basketball had become like a wife to me, and I was getting paid to stay in the relationship.
It didn't have a chance.
When I found basketball as a skinny twelve-year old on a gravel driveway, it was simple and clean: me and the ball and an iron ring.
No one was watching. I was good because I said so, not because other people did.
But I wanted more. I wanted to be special. I wanted other people to think I was different, better, desirable. And they did. When Jim Gilbert patted me on the back, or when I dunked that night in Ames, or when I took the floor in warm-ups for the Phoenix Suns, or when I helped my team win a game in Greece, I felt like a king.
Did my need for approval make me a better player? Probably.
Probably, my own competitive drive and love for the game wasn't enough.
Probably, I wouldn't have gotten as good as I did if I wasn't prone to worrying about what other people thought.
Probably, the thing that made me love basketball was the thing that changed basketball.
As I watched that YouTube clip of my dunk against Colorado, I couldn't help but despair.
I saw someone who should have been thrilled that he'd achieved his goals, made his dreams come true, someone who was happy with himself.
But I didn't. I saw someone who was only happy because other people were happy with him.
All of us lose our innocence as we grow up. But not all of us do it with crowds chanting their approval and roaring in delight. Not all of us allow ourselves to get carried away by the opinions of others.
Not all of us take something we love and twist it into something we don't.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller is leading a multi-state investigation of banks and other businesses — like debt collectors — that go after delinquent credit card debt. Geoff Greenwood is a spokesman for the attorney general..
Greenwood says investigators may uncover instances of automatic signing of documents similar to what mortgage companies were accused of after a surge of home foreclosures.
Iowa's attorney general was involved in the multi-state investigation of mortgage lenders that resulted in a 25-billion dollar national settlement for customers who were wrongly foreclosed upon. Several federal agencies are involved in this new investigation of the credit card industry and Greenwood says it includes reviewing the cases of some Iowa consumers who were behind on credit card payments.

Saatsi, Juha (2007) Material Theory of Induction and Scientific Realism. In: [2007] LSE-Pitt Conference: Confirmation, Induction and Science (London, 8 - 10 March, 2007).
Download (122Kb) | Preview
John Norton has advanced a general view of induction---`Material Theory of Induction'---that renders ampliative reasoning in a deep sense local. This paper is a sympathetic appraisal of this view, applying it to the scientific realism debate. It argues that the scientific realist should turn to such local construal of ampliative reasoning in her attempt to justify beliefs about unobservables. More generally, the distinction that Norton draws between `material' and `formal' theories of induction is helpful in contrasting the intuitions behind various realist arguments, and in assessing their strengths and weaknesses. As far as justificatory challenges of induction are concerned, it is in this context that the Material Theory of Induction pays most dividends.

Feds charge city man for selling heroin
A man from Hazleton faces federal charges for allegedly distributing heroin in the city in 2012 and 2013.
Criminal information was filed against Kelvin Martinez, no age provided, in United States District Court, Scranton, Friday, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney of the Middle District of Pennsylvania Peter J. Smith.
Smith said the charge is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Pennsylvania State Police.
The government also filed a plea agreement, which is subject to approval by the court.
Indictments and criminal informations are only allegations and a sentence following a finding of guilty is imposed by the judge after consideration of applicable federal sentencing statutes and guidelines. In this particular case, the maximum penalty is 20 years in prison, followed by a term of supervised release and a fine.
Prosecution is assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney John Gurganus.

"Going out?" Harris asked with surprise. "Where to?"
"Just into town," Wilson said, loosening the knot round his mosquito boots.
"What on earth can you find to do in town at this hour?"
"Business," Wilson said.
Well, he thought, it was business of a kind, the kind of joyless business one did alone, without friends. He had brought a second-hand car a few weeks ago, the first he had ever owned, and he was not yet a reliable driver. No gadget survived the climate long and every few hundred yards he had to wipe the windscreen with his handkerchief. In Kru town the hut doors were open and families sat around kerosene lamps waiting till it was cool enough to sleep. A dead pye dog lay in the gutter with the rain running over its white swollen belly. He drove in second gear at little more than walking pace, for civilian head-lamps had to be blacked out to the size of a visiting-card and he couldn't see more than fifteen paces ahead. It took him ten minutes to reach the great cotton tree near the police station. There were no lights on in any of the officer's rooms and he left his car outside the main entrance. If anyone saw it they would assume he was inside. For a moment he sat with the door open hesitating. The image of the girl passing in the rain conflicting with the sight of Harris on his shoulder blades reading a book with a glass of squash at his elbow. He thought sadly as lust won the day, what a lot of trouble it was; the sadness of the after-taste fell upon his spirits beforehand.
He had forgotten to bring his umbrella and he was wet
through before he had walked a dozen yards down the hill. It was the
passion of curiosity more than lust that impelled him now.
Some time or another if one lived in a place one must try the local
product. It was like having a box of chocolates shut in a bedroom
drawer. Until the box was empty it
occupied the mind too much. He
thought: when this is over I shall be able to write another poem to Louise.
The brothel was a tin-roofed bungalow half-way down the
hill on the right-hand side. In the
dry season the girls sat outside in the gutter like sparrows; they chatted with
the policemen on duty at the top of the hill.
The road was never made up, so that nobody drove by the brothel on the
way to the wharf or the cathedral: it could be ignored.
Now it turned a shuttered silent front to the muddy street, except where
a door, propped open with a rock out of the roadway, opened onto a passage.
Wilson looked quickly this way and that and stepped inside.
Years ago the passage had been white-washed and plastered,
but rats had torn holes in the plaster and human beings had mutilated the
whitewash with scrawls and pencilled names.
The walls were tattooed like a sailors arm with initials, dates, there
was even a pair of hearts interlocked. At
first it seemed to Wilson that the place was entirely deserted; on either side
of the passage there were little cells nine feet by four with curtains instead
of doorways and beds made out of old packing cases covered with native cloth.
He walked rapidly to the end of the passage; then, he told himself, he
would turn and go back to the quiet and somnolent security of the room where the
old Downhamian dozed over his book.
He felt an awful disappointment, as though he had not
found what he was looking for, when he reached the end and discovered that the
left had cell was occupied; in the light of an oil lamp burning on the floor he
saw a girl in a dirty shift spread out on the packing cases like a fish on a
counter; her bare pink soles dangled over the words "Tate's Sugar."
She lay there on duty, waiting for a customer.
She grinned at Wilson, not bothering to sit up and said "Want jig jig,
darling. Ten bob." He had a
vision of a girl with a rain-wet back moving forever out of his sight.
"No," he said, "no," shaking his head and thinking,
What a fool I was, What a fool, to drive all the way for only this.
The girl giggled as if she understood his stupidity and he heard the slop
slop of bare feet coming up the passage from the road; the way was blocked by an
old |mammy carrying a striped umbrella. She
said something to the girl in her native tongue and received a grinning
explanation. He had the sense that
this was only strange to him, that it was one of the stock situations the
old woman was accustomed to meet in the dark regions in which she ruled.
He said weakly, "I'll just go and get a drink first."
"She get drink," the mammy said. She commanded the girl sharply in the language he
couldn't understand and the girl swung her legs of the sugar cases. "You
stay here," the mammy said to Wilson, and mechanically like a hostess whose
mind is elsewhere but who must make conversation with however uninteresting a
guest, she said, "Pretty girl, jig jig, one pound."
Market values here were reversed: the price rose steadily with his
"I'm sorry. I can't wait," Wilson said. "Here's
ten bob," and he made the preliminary motions of departure, but the old woman
paid him no attention at all, blocking the way, smiling steadily like a dentist
who knows what's good for you. Here
a man's colour had no value: he couldn't bluster as a white man could
elsewhere: by entering this narrow plaster passage, he had shed every racial,
social and individual trait, he had reduced himself to human nature.
If he had wanted to hide, here was the perfect hiding-place; if he had
wanted to be anonymous, here he was simply a man.
Even his reluctance, disgust and fear were not personal characteristics;
they were so common to those who came here for the first time that the old woman
knew exactly what each move would be. First
the suggestion of a drink, then the offer of money, after that…
Wilson said weakly, "Let me by," but he knew that she
wouldn't move; she stood watching him, as though he was a tethered animal on
whom she was keeping an eye for its owner.
She wasn't interested in him, but occasionally she repeated calmly,
"Pretty girl jig jig by-and-by." He
held out a pound to her and she pocketed it and went on blocking the way.
When he tried to push by, she thrust him backwards with a casual pink
palm, saying, "By-and-by. Jig jig." It
had all happened so many hundreds of times before.
Down the passage the girl came carrying a vinegar bottle filled with palm wine, and with a sigh of reluctance Wilson surrendered. The heat between the walls of rain, the musty smell of his companion, the dim and wayward light of the kerosene lamp reminded him of a vault newly opened for another body to be let down upon its floor. A grievance stirred in him, a hatred of those who had brought him here. In their presence he felt as though his dead veins would bleed again.

Welch has again reinterpreted Japanese aesthetics for a Northwest setting.
EVEN THE most experienced gardeners make mistakes. The most they can hope is that when they move on to a new garden, they don't repeat them. After 40 years in the design/build landscaping business, Terry Welch must have kept this maxim firmly in mind when he began creating a new garden on Vashon Island.
Welch's old garden was a multiacre magical mystery tour, with a Zen garden, large pond, beaver dam and woodland trails. A wildlife sanctuary in rapidly developing Woodinville, the garden was a mecca for school tours and a pilgrimage for gardeners visiting the Northwest.
But when Welch decided to sell his famous garden, he discovered it wasn't so easy to find a buyer. Seduced by the charms of Vashon, he was ready to move on after 28 years of creating and tending the Woodinville garden.
"It was an eight-year odyssey to sell the sanctuary, with a cast of characters including artists, healers and Zen centers," says Welch of the array of potential buyers he dealt with over the years. "I realized that in my naiveté I'd created a hugely idiosyncratic property."

- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...

Finally, in 2009, a serious buyer turned up, and Welch could at last join his partner, Steve Shanaman, on Vashon and take up the opportunity to begin again.
Downscaling started with the house. After an architect's plans proved too pricey, Welch and Shanaman went online and ordered a metal building they called "the gas station." They bought an upgraded window and door package to take advantage of the view, and built a partial second floor in the voluminous interior. They ended up with a 2,700-square-foot home that, from its metal roof to integral metal gutters, requires no exterior maintenance.
The new property is two acres, but most of it is in wooded ravines. Majestic madrona trees and ancient firs frame the view and set the scale of the garden. Welch kept the plantings simple, avoiding the siren song of what he calls "perennial terrorists." He grows 15 cultivars of Japanese maples, as well as pines, witch hazel and stewartias.
The centerpiece of the garden is a boulder-framed plunge pool that looks like a hiking destination. The water is the clear aqua blue of fresh glacier melt, kept clean and swimmable by a nonchlorinated salt system. Heated by the sun, the water gets up to 76 degrees in the height of summer. "It's bracing in April," says Welch, who swims when the water temperature nudges up toward 50 degrees in the spring.
A moon gate forms the symbolic as well as the literal portal between the ornamental garden and the naturalistic hillside below. Where lawn meets ravine, a wide buffer of native plants protects the slope.
Welch's expertise at building gardens for clients shows not only in the plunge pool (he's built five on Vashon) but also in the way the garden quietly radiates from it. A flagstone patio set into the lawn holds a pair of Adirondacks. A broad terrace runs along the back of the house, tying the metal building to the landscape. Benches at one end of the terrace hold the collection of bonsai Welch brought from his Woodinville garden.
The bonsai aren't all that Welch transplanted from his old property. While very different in size and site, the new Vashon garden is imbued with the same atmosphere of serenity as the Woodinville sanctuary. Welch has again reinterpreted Japanese aesthetics for a Northwest setting. And even in this new and less wild garden, his deep reverence for nature permeates the design and spirit of the place.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Do you feel guilty (or irritated) when you're negotiating a starting salary, a raise, or benefits? The problem might be an over-reliance on intuition and emotion, instead of logic and rational thought.
(Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation offers tips for folks who tend to negotiate from their hearts instead of their heads. In a blog post from earlier this year, PON's staff writes:
"Most negotiators believe they are capable of distinguishing between situations in which they can safely rely on intuition from those that require more careful thought -- but often they are wrong. In fact, most of us trust our intuition more than evidence suggests that we should."
To combat this, they advise distinguishing between system 1 and system 2 thought (as coined by Keith Stanovich of the University of Toronto and Richard F. West of James Madison University).
System 1 thought is based on intuition. It's effortless, automatic, and immediate.
System 2 thought is based on logic. It's slower, more thoughtful, and more considered.
Negotiators tend to fall back on system 1 thought during times of cognitive overload, according to Harvard, and that's fine, as long as the negotiation in progress isn't of lasting importance to your career. In other words, when people are bickering about where to go for lunch, you might feel overloaded, but you're not likely to tank your chances at a promotion, unless you flip out and threaten to stop producing unless everyone drops everything and goes to McDonald's.
How can you make sure you don't fall back on system 1 thought when system 2 is required? PON's staff offers four techniques to ensure that you use the right thinking at the right time. In brief, they are:
1. Make a system 2 list.
2. Don't let time pressure affect your decisions.
3. Partition the negotiation across multiple sessions.
4. Adopt an outsider lens.
The bottom line is that you should do whatever you have to do (within reason) to make sure that you're not making decisions under pressure, before you've had time to deliberate. Without time enough to process your options, you'll always be going with your gut -- even when you shouldn't.

Censuring laws failure to stop social evils only is ineffective.
Lets begin with an explicit assertion and a highly pertinent question. There is hardly any doubt that its quite difficult to ascertain what leads to social evils in reality. What is the truest definition of social evils? Perhaps any reader has already started to consider that these two are meant to confound him/her only. But the reason is quite different this is nothing save a desperate effort to reach or find out the basis of this reality, dampening and also mortifying the spirit of Indian culture for centuries, if not more. What leads to social evils in India is quite difficult to find out after so many centuries but certainly, they have hardly any relation to the religious scriptures.
One of the most dominant and controversial social evils in the Indian scenario has been Sati. Even if this practice has been going on for centuries, it is not sanctioned by the Holy Vedas. On the contrary the Hindu holy scriptures are against it in certain instances. Or else, Raja Rammohan Roy would not have had the vigor to carry out the campaign against the same in the early Nineteenth century and emerge triumphant. Nevertheless, Sati does continue even in these days and the Indian legal scenario seems to be vulnerable to it.
The situation is not limited to this. Dowry system and its rigorous practices giving rise to the death of newly married brides, Honor killing in India under the patronage of Khap Panchayats (becoming common increasingly) are also some social evils that are in full swing at the moment. Even if social activists and media are not leaving no stone unturned to put an end to all these, the governance and legal scenario are equally nervous.
It would certainly be wrong to say that Indian legal system has failed completely. It has been witnessed to bring out legendary judgments like 498A (to stop marital persecutions) but the same is being misused to a large extent. This is also certainly a major social evil. Who can be penalized then? Problem remains with the people then. Hence, before changing the laws to stop social evils, people have to change. Are they ready?

"New Moon" hottie Taylor Lautner has achieved the dream of every rock and roll singer and actor in the past half century. He's got his picture on the cover of Rolling Stone.
"New Moon," which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart, is in theaters now and doing land office business.
The iconic magazine's honor was immortalized in the 1972 song by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, which raised the cover shot to the ultimate goal of rock stars everywhere.
- Well we are big rock singers, we've got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
Lautner, who covers the most recent issue, is the undisputed star of the latest "Twilight" sequel, which shattered at least two box office records over the weekend and had the third biggest opening in movie history.
Final box office figures for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" put the movie's ticket sales at $142.8 million up from an estimated $140.7 million last weekend, Summit Entertainment said.
"New Moon" marked the biggest opening weekend of 2009 and placed third for the top opening weekend ever behind last year's Batman movie "The Dark Knight" ($158 million) and 2007's "Spider-Man 3" ($151 million).
"New Moon" also set a record on Friday for box office results from midnight screenings, with $26.3 million.
The movie rode squarely on Lautner's shoulders and the 17-year-old did not disappoint the saga's largely tween and young female audience.
Whenever Lautner, 17, appeared shirtless on the movie screen, girls in theaters across the nation squealed with delight.
Lautner, who famously gained 30 pounds of muscle to play hulking werewolf Jacob Black, wowed viewers with his rippling 8-pack abs and muscular torso. All the work the athletic teen put into his workout regimen appears to have paid off on-screen.
Indeed, Rob recently revealed how unsettling it was to see Lautner's super-buff physique.
"It was incredibly annoying when I saw Taylor's transformation," Pattinson recently said on the "Jimmy Kimmel Show."
"I realized just having a pre-pubescent girl's body wasn't going to work for me anymore. In fact, I saw him and thought 'Jesus, I'm going to get fired,' " he said.
Taylor recently revealed that he carried around plastic baggies filled with meat and potatoes to eat around the clock in order to gain weight for New Moon.
"Yeah, so I carry around a Baggie and it has meat patties in it," he said. "The worst is not the patties. It's the sweet potatoes. They get raw and cold and gushy."
In addition to eating every two hours, Lautner did intense weight training and isometric exercises to get his enviable 8-pack and ripped torso.
For now, the young star is enjoying his newfound star status and is working hard. As for the future, the baby-faced Taylor would like to do more action roles.
"I love action films," he said. "I'd love to do an action drama. I'm always looking to give my character something action-oriented to do."
In a wide ranging interview with the magazine, Lautner offered these insights about Bella and Jacob.
When your character hangs up on Edward inNew Moon, it sets off the whole chain of events that almost lead to a major tragedy. That's something a villain would do.
Yes. that is part of Jacob's character. He can't really control himself. When he gets mad, he gets mad. And all Jacob has on his mind is on Bella. That's who he cares for. That's who he loves. If somebody gets in his way, it's not good. And he will explode. So I guess you could see that either way.
[Bella] even says she loves you.
That's why Eclipse was actually my favorite of the series. It's the height of the love triangle. I think it's going to be good. That tent scene is the biggest thing possible. She's cold and I'm hot, so [since vampires are cold], are you going to let me crawl in the sleeping bag with her, or are you just going to let her die?
Why do you think Jacob and Edward likes Bella so much?
Because she's different, meaning she's more of the plain Jane type. You know, she's not fake. I know that attracts me too. Just somebody who is down to earth and themselves. I mean, apparently Edward likes her smell. But Jacob's relationship with her is — Jacob has just always liked her. They used to be friends because their fathers are best friends. And he's just always had a crush on her since he was a kid. Now they are getting to that stage where things can start.

So here he is at age 20, living life at 200 mph, bouncing from place to place and interview to interview, driving for one of the top stock car teams in the land, and doing, really, what he's been programmed to do since the day as a youngster when he took his old yard kart to a dirt track near his home in Thomasville, North Carolina, and became hooked on racing, at the ripe old age of eight.
There was never any doubt about Brian Vickers ending up where he is now-defending Busch Series champion, driving in Nextel Cup for a top team like Hendrick Motorsports, and tackling the world of big-time stock car racing. After all, the kid won at every turn, in karts, in Late Models, and in Hooters ProCup, where at age 16 he became the youngest driver ever to win a race in that series.
What his accomplishments-and his obvious natural ability-mask, though, is the sacrifice and focus and dedication that went into getting to the top. The years of chasing go-kart races all over the East Coast, the missed school functions, the homework finished in the seat of an airplane or by motel lamplight.
The Vickers family packed it all into a 10-year cycle, backing Brian at every turn, all the way to the Busch Series where he drove for a family-owned team in 2002 before signing with Hendrick and winning the 2003
Busch title."You just slowly go one day from racing go-karts and hanging out with your buddies to all of a sudden one day making a living doing it and running 200 mph," says Vickers. "It seems like it happens overnight but it takes 10 years. I guess over the years you just realize, hey, I may be able to do this. It's possible. I've just got to work hard at it and never give up and stay the same person I am now that it's got me here."
The Spice of LifeIt would be easy, and natural, to assume that the 20-year-old who emerged from that climb up racing's ladder is a one dimensional racer boy whose focus on racing has defined his very being. The assumption would be wrong, because it's as if Vickers determined along the way that he would soak it all in, the people he met, the places he visited, the life he experienced while becoming a bona fide race car driver.
"I don't know what would be the perfect word for this, but I consider myself a variety person," he says. "There's not one of any one thing that I like all of. I like a little bit of everything. Like with my music, I don't like just one genre. I don't like just rap. I don't like just country. I don't like just classic. I like the best of all of them."
Variety defines Brian Vickers because for 10 years, variety shaped his life-from Maine to Florida chasing races, from series to series, from town to town, from new situation to new situation. But it wasn't just life on the road that shaped young Brian. His parents, Clyde and Ramona Vickers, instilled well-grounded principles in Brian. You work hard. You do things right. You take responsibility.
"We raised him to understand that you've got to learn to stand on your own two feet, [and] you've got to learn to be responsible for whatever you do or don't do," says Ramona.

|Class opens eyes to the real world
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Students at HHS are preparing for life after high school graduation by venturing out in the community, rolling up their sleeves and getting to work.
Kristi Ham's careers class gives students the opportunity to try their hand at various aspects of the working community. She has 10 students who will share their work experience with the community over the next few months.
Students pick an area they are interested in and contact a business in that area.
Ham said it gives students a chance to test drive certain areas to see what they are most interested in. She said some students feel they really want to work in an area, intern there for careers class, and decide it isn't the right area for them to be in.
This week's careers class featured students are seniors Christa Durbin, Willie Greenman and Sydney Nelson.
Christa Durbin
Christa Durbin spends her internship hours at Phillips County Sheriff's office working with Sheriff Rob Urbach and Phillips and Sedgwick County Victims Assistance Coordinator Darlene Johnson.
Durbin's duties include working with civil papers, entering computer data, attending court hearings and general office work.
Durbin said she has learned how to use different programs such as Crime Star, Excel and Quicken. "I have learned how to budget every month and how things work when you are on a crime scene," she added.
Durbin's career goals include becoming an elementary school teacher.

Willie Greenman
Greenman has been busy working with Julie Dirks at the Flower Garden working on holiday decorations, large flower arrangements and anything else he can get his hands on.
"I know how to make candy bouquets and all types of rose vases," Greenman said.
Although Greenman isn't looking toward a career in the flower industry, his internship has taught him a wide variety of skills. "I have learned many business skills like working with customers, putting orders into the computer and taking monthly payments," he said.
Greenman hopes to attend college to major in education.
Willie Greenman is pictured at left with Julie Dirks
Sydney Nelson
Sydney Nelson's internship includes spending time at Computers Etc. with her mom Lori.
Hoping to study graphic design, architecture and business management in college, Sydney hopes the skills she has picked up will help her reach her goals.
Along with answering the phone, running the cash register and dealing with sales, Nelson works on Photoshop for customers, filing, Excel spreadsheets and customer service.
"This internship has helped me learn more about the computer industry, as well as how to interact with customers," Nelson said. "It has allowed me to use the accounting principles that have been taught to me and taught me more about the art supply industry.

WHEELING - The Ohio County Board of Education will continue to fund the Ohio County Public Library into the future, board members agreed on Monday.
Ohio County Schools currently provides $531,592 annually to the library, or 40 percent of the library's yearly operating budget. In voicing their support for the library, board members agreed the facility serves a pivotal and "essential" role in the local community.
The funding deal is part of a 1957 state law that required nine county school boards to provide funding for their local public libraries.

Board of Education member Sarah Koegler urges the public to review and comment on the funding for the Ohio County Public Library in the district's 2013-2014 budget at a board meeting Monday at Warwood School.
The West Virginia Supreme Court last month ruled that Kanawha County was not constitutionally required to continue providing library funding. That ruling has brought into question library funding here in Ohio County and elsewhere in the state.
Despite the ruling, Ohio County Board of Education President James Jorden proposed the board provide the same level of financial support to the library for the next school year.
"It's the right thing to do," Jorden said. "I believe that the Ohio County Public Library is a necessary partner in education with Ohio County Schools."

The Ohio County Board of Education will meet 6 p.m. March 25 at the board office, 2203 National Road, Wheeling.
Other board members also expressed their approval.
"My initial reaction to this has been of course we'll continue to fund the library," board member Sarah Koegler said. "I think with the way this budget has been handled ... we do have the funding for the library. I think it's important for us to hear from our constituents and the community."
Board member Gary Kestner said he took a tour of the library Monday and "was very impressed" by the library's services to the community.
"The computers were filled. The classrooms downstairs were filled. I had no idea what went on there. I have no doubts that we should continue to do what we're doing into the future," Kestner said.
The 1957 legislation affected Ohio, Tyler, Kanawha, Berkeley, Hardy, Harrison, Raleigh, Upshur and Wood counties.
School boards in these counties have been required to give 3 cents for every $100 in assessed property value in the county to their local libraries.
According to business manager Steve Bieniek, the district is budgeted to pay the library $531,592 for the 2013 fiscal year. The same amount will be included in the 2013-14 proposed budget, which will be available to the board and on display for public comment later in the month.
The budget will be up for approval in May.
Ohio County Schools' 2012-13 budget shows that funding for community service programs including the Ohio County Public Library makes up less than 1 percent of the schools' total expenditures. Total expenditures are listed at $57.67 million.
In other business, the board approved the hiring of M&G Architects and Engineers for the foundation repair and ADA ramp replacement project for the Triadelphia Middle School annex building. The board also approved the purchase of school bus radios through the county commission.

text: WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid for New Hampshire was made available today to help communities in three counties recover from the effects of Tropical Storm Floyd. FEMA Director James Lee Witt said President Clinton authorized the assistance under a major disaster declaration issued for the state this afternoon. The declaration covers damage to public property from the storm that spawned heavy rains, high winds and flooding over the period of September 16-18.

Mission trip or summer vacation?
The approach of summer brings with it appeals to support short-term mission trips, often to third-world countries. These trips frequently involve youths. Before their journey they troop to the front of the church, and we pray for them. Sometime later they return, and dutifully recount lives transformed, their own as well as those they went to help.
It's something I want my own children to do when they are older, but on the immediate economics alone, youth-oriented mission trips are indefensible. People in need of churches, housing, and the Word could use the dollars and a couple of Christian men with carpentry skills far more than a passel of unskilled kids who are rounding out their spiritual resumes. But is there more here than the immediate economics?
One can argue, for example, that a spiritual resume is precisely what today's kids need -- to be exposed to the grit of poverty and the plight of the unchurched in forgotten reaches of the world. What Christian parent wouldn't want his children to see first-hand, albeit in a relatively safe way, the world we have been protecting them from, and presumably preparing them to enter? The difficulty is that in calling these journeys mission trips, we divert resources from more effective missions. Given the reality that most families have limited budgets, forking over $25 for Jimmy's mission trip to Brazil, and $75 for Susie's mission trip to Kenya, means a more effective program gets $100 less.
But what if Jimmy and Susie are transformed by their experiences, such that they are more likely to give of their time and resources in the future? Then that $100 may reap dividends beyond what appears at first glance. I don't deny that possibility, and hope, each time a young person from my own church goes to a distant country, that it proves so.
Still, it seems we ought to relabel these endeavors, perhaps calling them "Christian study abroad programs." This is likely to wound someone's sensibility about these things, perhaps especially those involved in the dozens of organizations specializing in Christian youth mission trips.
We all want these trips to be meaningful and valuable, but unfortunately, research by Calvin College's Kurt Ver Beek indicates that short-term mission trips don't lead to greater subsequent involvement in the lives of those they are intended to help. Nor do short-term missions result in significantly greater giving by mission-trip participants or their host churches. (For links to Ver Beek's research, and articles discussing it, click here.)
The real test, where youth missions are concerned, is what these young people do when they are grown. I have no doubt that some of them are profoundly changed by a mission trip, making its cost a bargain. I also have no doubt that others get a good tan from their trip, and little more, beyond reinforcing the view of foreigners that Americans are vain and silly. But that's the lot of any church, isn't it, that the movers are mingled with the talkers, the saints with the sinners? And if we ever start separating these groups, I for one will be in big trouble.
So I'm wondering, what should our response be to the onslaught of youth missions this summer? What questions ought we to ask? Should we simply be thankful that young people are showing any interest in missions at all? Should we politely suggest that they can have experiences that are just as meaningful in our own inner cities, children's hospitals, and poverty-racked rural areas? Should we pony up and keep our mouths shut? Am I a bad Christian for asking?

RUSTON - For the second straight game Louisiana Tech will face one of the Western Athletic Conference's best offensive teams as Utah State will bring the No. 1 ranked scoring offense into Saturday night's 7 p.m. match-up with the Lady Techsters at the Thomas Assembly Center.
Tech (9-9, 5-3 WAC) enters the game in a three-way tie for third place in the league standings while Utah State (9-10, 6-2 WAC) is alone in second place. Seattle leads the WAC with a 7-1 mark.
Utah State is averaging 75.1 points per game this season, including 80.4 points in its eight Western Athletic Conference contests. The Aggies are led by the three-headed scoring monster on the perimeter of guards Devyn Christensen (20.4 ppg, 60 three-pointers), Jenna Johnson (14.1 ppg, 7.5 rpg) and Jennifer Schlott (13.8 ppg, 78 assists).
"It's going to be tough," said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. "Utah State has some very good offensive players, and we will have to defend for 40 minutes. We just want to build from what we did in the first half against San Jose State, and we want to lean from the mistakes we made in the second half.
"Our kids are playing with some confidence and energy. We will take (the San Jose State game) as a positive and praise our kids for the effort they gave. We will correct the things we need to correct and get ready for a very good Utah State team."
As a team the Aggies also lead the WAC in free throw percentage (80.2 percent) and rank No. 2 in three-pointers made per game (7.3) and assists (13.8). Utah State is coming off a season-high offensive outburst in its 93-83 win at UT Arlington on Thursday.
The Aggies have struggled defensively this year, ranking dead last in the WAC in scoring defense (78.7)and rebounding margin (-10.3) and next-to-last in field goal percentage defense (.424). Utah State has surrendered 90 points or more five times this year, including 109 against Notre Dame and 103 against San Jose State.
LA Tech also boasts three players averaging in double figures led by Kelia Shelton (12.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg), Brittany Lewis (11.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg) and Whitney Frazier (10.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg). Freshman guard Lulu Perry (8.3 ppg) is also coming off the best offensive performance of her young career after scoring 21 points in the win over the Spartans.
The Lady Techsters lead the all-time series against Utah State 14-2, although both of the Aggies wins have come in Ruston.
The contest can be heard on the LA Tech Sports Network with the pregame show beginning at 6:30 p.m. Fans can also access a live video feed of the game through a paid subscription to LA Tech All-Access at www.LATechSports.com.

A Must Read - Share
Napa Valley is a weird place. It's kind of demure, with rolling hills blanketed in low rows of lush vineyards, but also kind of action central, as the chances are high that the person cooking your food or pouring your wine is at the top of the industry. Recently we ventured into kitchens, cellars and wineries (all accessible to you, too) in search of the extraordinarily yummy, which really is the norm in Napa. Contrary to popular opinion, Napa's not only about the wine. Sure, that's a lot of the attraction, but you've got to eat something at some point to keep the drinking and drink

GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott released a new ad attacking Democratic opponent Alex Sink for licensing felons as insurance agents although a recent court ruling found Sink, the state's chief financial officer, is too harsh on the ex-criminals.
Scott's campaign released the ad the day of the duo's first live televised debate set to begin at 7 p.m tonight. His campaign staff first handed out information about Sink licensing felons at their first match-up in Miami at a taped Univision debate on Oct. 8.
The ad claims that Sink "had broad discretion to withhold a license…but after 3 days of searching could not name one case in which she used that authority."
But civil rights experts and Sink's staff insist that she has limited authority to withhold the licenses and a judge decided that Sink's waiting periods before felons are eligible to get licenses is too long. Her office has appealed that ruling.
Read The Palm Beach Post story about the licenses here.

Sour Cherry Soup infused with Lemon Thyme and Vanilla.
from La Tartine Gourmand
They made it with Ranier Cherries which is more accessible here in Pennsylvania at this time of year than Sour Cherries.
Served in the springtime, it's good hot and cold with sour cream.
Delicious Beets for the very lazy. Maybe I'll see if I can just use those beets from Trader Joe's.

Who Do You Think You Are? Live is now upon us (22nd – 24thFebruary) and as always, there are lots of exciting and interesting things to see and do this year, so we wanted to let you know what we've got happening at the show then you can plan you day. So, grab your candy floss and toffee apples and get ready for the show.
We are bringing the Ancestry.co.uk Academy to you LIVE this year in a full live stream from The Olympia Exhibition Center in downtown London. Watch the live stream here below:
See the Academy Schedule for the weekend below (times shown are in GMT):
14 Comments
What is the time zone referenced in this schedule?
Haven't you Utah-centric people figured out that a supposedly global company needs to have some semblance of a global mindset.
The time shown is London time. Nothing Utah-centric about that at all.
Posted 7:14 Central Standard Time
Posted 7:14 London Time
opps! I meant 1:14 PM London Time.
"The time shown is London time."
And you know this because? Since they make no indication of the time zone and their historic track record says they post most of this stuff in MST (including the time stamp on these posts), it's anybody's guess.
BTW, by the time the social media king posted this, the first 3 sessions were already over.
I know this because I asked someone I know who is there at the show.
It's GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) there is no such thing as 'London Time'.
Gee . . . with a little prodding some bright light in San Francisco is now awake and actually monitoring his creation. Now we all know that the time is GMT since we don't have a friend there to tell us like Andy purports to have.
Actually- Nick isn't in SF- He's in London at WDYTYA Live.
What about offering video clips that can be viewed later for Ancestry.com subscribers.
What happened Sunday? Been up late (PST in USA) and so far none of the first 3 scheduled talks have "live streamed." Was there not enough interest? It would have been nice to know that you were not planning to show the Sunday sessions so I wouldn't have stayed up all night.
Sunday streaming… was up ay 5:40 am on my day off to catch that last session on parish records. it has been offline until a few minutes ago and came in mid stream of the session. Is ancestry going to replay any of these videos on the blog or youtube?
"Sorry for any confusion, we won't be streaming today, we only were doing that Friday and Saturday."
We are not confused, you people are.
You posted the message "Who Do You Think You Are? Live is now upon us (22nd – 24thFebruary), , ," You put up a 3-day schedule. Why should we not think you are going to stream for 3 days?
Does anybody at this company take responsibility for their own actions? Is there any adult supervision?
That posted schedule should have been very specific as to exactly what is was for; either what they were going to live stream or what their presentations at the exhibit would be.
I hope they learn to handle details better but- having observed them for years…

The Copper Canyon Sierra Lodge is nestled against the side of a small pine-scented valley in the Copper Canyon and is about as far off the beaten path as you can get. Here you'll find no electricity, no telephones, no TV's, no radios, no internet. Experience Copper Canyon without the noise and bustle of modern life - experience the best Copper Canyon has to offer!
The Lodge
The lodge is built like a long, low, old-fashioned log cabin with a corrugated tin roof. The 18 guest rooms open onto a long tiled front porch, with rustic wooden, hand-crafted log chairs. Kerosene lanterns are strung across the porch. Relax with a good book, visit with friends, all while the Cusarare River, located directly in front of the lodge, twists and winds its way through the valley to a nearby waterfall.
Guest Rooms
Although rustic in nature, the guest rooms are spacious with rich, red-tiled floors, white plaster and log walls, Indian rugs, homespun cotton bedspreads, beamed ceilings, Indian murals, and modern, tiled bathrooms with hot water and even bathrobes! The gentle glow of the gas lamps lends romance. Each room has a wood-burning stove to keep you warm, a few with fireplaces. Guests find that there is an elegance to the rustic lodging at the Copper Canyon Sierra Lodge - each room offers plenty of rest and comfort.
Dining Options
All meals are included and the simple, hearty food is perfect after a day of hiking to the nearby waterfall, painted caves or the village of Cusarare. Guests dine together in a large and delightfully cozy room with a giant stone fireplace, Indian murals, and varnished tables. A roaring fire takes the night chill away, and so do Marta's margaritas. Make a toast to the fine folks who delight in making your stay authentic in every way!

My son asked me tonight what those scrinkly things are on my forehead. What skrinkly things? I asked, thinking I must have had something stuck to my face. I looked in the mirror and he pointed at the long vertical lines etched into my skin. Those, he said.
What do I want for Mother's Day? I want Botox.
My daughter asked me last week if I would please not yell at her when I put her to bed that night.
What do I want for Mother's Day? I want patience at eight-thirty p.m.
My husband asked me today if I remembered to call the vet to make an appointment for the dog. No, I said. I forgot. I also forgot to pay my daughter's tuition for camp, which was due on Friday. I also forgot to send a birthday card to my sister-in-law. I also forgot to buy deodorant.
What do I want for Mother's Day? I want an organizer that I won't forget to use.
My friend is getting engaged, and asked if I would go with him to pick out a ring. I will, I told him, but I can only go on Wednesdays, between ten and ten forty-five. What do I want for Mother's Day? I want free time.
I told myself that I am going to lose five pounds before summer, but I've had dessert every night this week.
What do I want for Mother's Day? I want willpower.
I watched Newt Gingrich on The Daily Show the other day, grinning about the standoff between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
What do I want for Mother's Day? I want a Democratic nominee.
My husband told me this morning that he needs me to help out more, because he can't work and take care of everything at home, too. I asked him who, he thinks, makes dinner? Who, he thinks, packs the kids' lunches? Who makes their doctor and dentist appointments, and takes them to those appointments? Who buys the presents for their friends' birthday parties? Who picks them up from school every day, and takes them to their after school activities? Who buys their clothes? Who makes sure Harper does her homework? Who does the grocery shopping? Who plans their playdates? Who gets their teachers gifts at the end of the year?
What do I want for Mother's Day? I want a new husband.
My daughter is turning six in ten days. What do I want for Mother's Day? I want to stop time.
My family asked me the other day, what do you want for Mother's Day? Would you like a necklace with our names on them? A nice brunch at a hotel by the beach? How about a massage, or breakfast in bed? Yes, I said. Any of those things would be lovely.
What do I want for Mother's Day? It doesn't really matter. I'm not going to get it.
