Testimony Before the New York Commission on Statewide Attorney Discipline
This afternoon I appeared at a hearing in Buffalo held by the New York Commission on Statewide Attorney Discipline.
Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman created the Commission on Statewide Attorney Discipline to conduct a comprehensive review of the state's attorney disciplinary system to determine what is working well and what can work better, and offer recommendations to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of New York's attorney discipline process.
Among the issues to be studied by the Commission are whether New York's departmental-based system leads to regional disparities in the implementation of discipline; if conversion to a statewide system is desirable; and how to achieve dispositions more quickly in an effort to provide much-needed closure to both clients and attorneys.
Here is a slightly edited version of my written testimony.
Chief Judge Lippman created this commission to review the system of attorney discipline in New York. This is an important task, and it brings much-needed attention to the practices and values of the legal profession. However, my experience teaching legal ethics and professional responsibility reveals a divergence between the disciplinary system in New York and how legal ethics is taught in law schools. Legal ethics casebooks pay little or no attention to the process of attorney discipline or to questions regarding disciplinary sanctions. No casebook with which I am familiar devotes more than a page or two to how attorney disciplinary systems work; a few mention the ABA Model Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement (2002). Most casebooks I have examined mention the ABA Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions (1992), but none address more than a few paragraphs to the discussion of disciplinary sanctions, how sanctions serve the different functions of punishment and deterrence, and how different sanctions are calculated.
There are several possible reasons for this neglect. For one, discussion of sanctions means that there has already been an ethical failure. Legal ethics courses generally aim to teach law students, at minimum, how to avoid disciplinary sanctions by understanding the ethical rules and applying them correctly to resolve difficult ethical problems. Disciplinary sanctions come after the ethical violation has already occurred. Discipline means that there has been a failure of ethical behavior. Legal ethics teaching hopes to prevent those failures. Casebook authors may fear that extensive treatment of sanctions amounts to suggesting that law students are likely to fail in their ethical responsibilities.
However, another reason for neglecting disciplinary sanctions in legal ethics courses may be a concern that teaching students about sanctions may contribute to disrespect for the disciplinary process and disregard of the ethical rules. Despite the explicit guidance of the Rules of Professional Conduct, what the bar and the courts choose to sanction, and what sanctions are imposed, may say more than the rules do about the real values of the profession.[1]
The Preface to the ABA Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions (2002) states that the function of standards for disciplinary sanctions is deterrence.
For lawyer discipline to be truly effective, sanctions must be based on clearly developed standards. Inappropriate sanctions can undermine the goals of lawyer discipline: sanctions which are too lenient fail to adequately deter misconduct and thus lower public confidence in the profession; sanctions which are too onerous may impair confidence in the system and deter lawyers from reporting ethical violations on the part of other lawyers. Inconsistent sanctions, either within a jurisdiction or among jurisdictions, cast doubt on the efficiency and the basic fairness of all disciplinary systems.[2]
The New York Court of Appeals in Levy v. Ass'n of the Bar of the City of N.Y. agreed that deterrence, not punishment, is the principle driving disciplinary sanctions.
The proper frame of reference, of course, is the protection of the public interest, for while a disciplinary proceeding has aspects of the imposition of punishment on the attorney charged, its primary focus must be on protection of the public. Our duty in these circumstances is to impose discipline, not as punishment, but to protect the public in its reliance upon the presumed integrity and responsibility of lawyers.[3]
Whether one views deterrence or punishment as the function of sanctions, the nature of the sanctions imposed and the process by which they are imposed are important in signaling collective values. From an instrumental view, "behavior is motivated by rewards and punishments in the external environment."[4] Under this theory, a disciplinary system of disciplinary aims to "alter[] citizens' behavior by . . . delivering or threatening to deliver sanctions."[5] Such a view of disciplinary sanctions would presume that especially severe ethical violations should be met with severe sanctions such as suspension or disbarment. Less egregious violations, or violations in situations where there are significant mitigating factors, should be met with less serious sanctions such as censure. However, as Professor Gillers has demonstrated,[6] there are significant variances in the degree of sanction imposed for the same type of violation among the four judicial departments. From a purely instrumental perspective, such variances are problematic because they fail to assure that severe violations will be met severely.
On the other hand, according to the procedural justice theory developed by Yale Law Professor Tom R. Tyler, people obey the law when they view it as having legitimate authority. The basis of legitimacy is procedural justice. "Legitimacy is linked to the justice of the procedures by which the police and courts implement the law."[7] If authorities "act in ways that [are perceived] as procedurally just, their rules are viewed as more legitimate, and are more likely to be obeyed."[8] According to this theory, it is may be less important that sanctions be harsh than that they be perceived as fair and consistent.
Under either theory—an instrumental view of punishment and deterrence, or a procedural justice theory—sanctions are significant. How disciplinary authorities respond to ethical violations exposes the real values held by the profession and by the court. Deterrence is ineffective where the disciplinary process is slow and some disciplinary committees treat violations with greater leniency than others. Procedural justice is absent where sanctions are perceived as arbitrary.
The New York Rules of Professional Conduct provide guidance in determining what kinds of actions by lawyers are acceptable and laudatory, and what actions are unacceptable and worthy of condemnation. Such rules should help lawyers make choices to resolve difficult questions of professional responsibility. When the sanctions are arbitrary and inconsistent, however, the sanctions may tell a different story than that told by the rules. The sanctions imposed by the disciplinary committees and the four departments of the Appellate Division tell us what the rules really mean.
Until recently, disciplinary sanctions in New York were rarely published. The Court's recent mandate that attorney disciplinary records be publicly searchable is a step in the right direction. This greater transparency may, however, have the undesired result of making even more visible the arbitrary nature of the disciplinary process.
Legal ethics teachers differ on whether we should teach values, or should focus on what Judith Maute calls "safe lawyering," or "the law of lawyering."[9] However, even teaching "safe lawyering" necessarily teaches the bar and the court's implicit values. Although students, like practitioners, may have little direct exposure to disciplinary actions, they pick up on the messages sent by disciplinary enforcement—or lack thereof—indirectly.
Although lawyers may not be familiar with the details of all discipline cases, some decisions are published, others are abstracted in local legal newspapers and bar magazines, and still others become the subject of gossip within the profession. Lawyers thus form impressions about whether, how often, and in what types of cases disciplinary agencies pursue sanctions. These impressions may have a substantial influence on how lawyers respond to or respect particular rules.[10]
Law students may be particularly susceptible to the undermining effect of a seemingly arbitrary disciplinary system. Students, especially in legal ethics and professional responsibility, want to know "the answer." The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam reinforces the view that there should be clear right and wrong answers, in legal ethics if in no other field. Law students, if they look beyond the immediate pressures of the MPRE, want to know what they must do to avoid, or minimize, disciplinary sanctions in practice.
Inconsistent and arbitrary sanctions send a message, and it is not a message of deterrence, or even a message of procedural justice: it is a message that the profession does not take legal ethics seriously. Lack of standards teaches that the rules themselves are arbitrary; that the real question is not, "what are my ethical duties," but "what can I get away with?"
The arbitrary nature of disciplinary sanctions when teaching legal ethics based on the ABA Model Rules is magnified when we turn our attention to the disciplinary system in New York. A fragmented attorney disciplinary system that imposes different standards on lawyers based on whether their offices are downstate, upstate, or in Western New York raises questions as to why they are treated differently. University of San Diego law professor David McGowan notes that "[o]ne of the hardest things to teach students is how to deal with the sometimes significant variation in judicial reactions to similar conduct. . . . 'Pay close attention to custom' is helpful, and an obvious point, but I do find that students throw up their hands and tend toward nihilism when they perceive how much variation they will face. Teaching realism without nihilism is important but tough."[11]
Differences between sanctioning standards between states are troubling but manageable. For law students preparing to practice in New York, however, wide disparities in sanctions for the same violations depending on which part of the state one practices in may lead to a nihilistic attitude toward the very idea of ethical duties. New York's system of disciplinary sanctions should be one worthy of respect.

Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste: Teaching in Law Schools Today
Here are some brief comments I made today at a UB seminar on Teaching and Learning in the Classroom of the Future:
I'm not at all confident about predicting the future. It's hard enough just seeing clearly what's going on around us right now, especially when you're operating at a high level of generality as we have been doing thus far. So what I'm going to do today is try to report to you on what's going on in the discipline I'm familiar with: the study and practice of law.
Law schools have been slow to adopt technology. In some ways this is surprising: law was one of the first disciplines to have its corpus of fulltext research sources readily available online. LexisNexis launched in 1973, offering full text of all Ohio and New York cases. By 1980 it included full text collections of all U.S. federal and state cases. Now LexisNexis and WESTLAW, which started a few years after LexisNexis, include virtually all the information sources a lawyer needs to do his or her research, as well as a variety of litigation and law office management tools. So online text resources have been an integral part of both law practice, and the study of law, for over 30 years.
Beyond the use of fulltext research tools, however, law schools seem to have lagged behind our counterparts in undergraduate and K-12 education. In O'Brian Hall, many of our classrooms still have chalkboards, although they now also have computer projectors and Elmo visual presenters, and faculty are increasingly using them.
I think there are a couple of reasons for this. For one, law tends to be a somewhat conservative profession, in the sense that it tends to resist innovation. Law is built on precedent, and I think that years of training and practice in looking to how things have been done previously has to have some influence on how lawyers make choices outside of the classroom. Also, lawyers by nature and by training are pessimists. It's our job to think of all the ways things can go wrong, and to take precautions against risk. Lawyers are risk-avoiders by nature and by nurture. That's one of the reasons creative and entrepreneurial types don't like lawyers: our job is to say "no, you can't do that, and here's why."
In addition, my sense is that law students tend to be less technology-oriented than "digital natives" are generally assumed to be. Professor Gradel noted this morning that the research on learning styles has been at least partially debunked. However, I think some self-selection takes place among students who choose to go to law school. Law probably tends to attract and retain students who are linear thinkers, and who are comfortable with text. Yes, they all have smartphones and laptops and Kindles and iPads, but they are not, unlike Professor Gradel young learners, natural integrators. They seem to tend to compartmentalize, and many of them keep their online activities separate from their student/professional selves.
Moreover, universities—especially research universities—generally do not reward faculty who devote their time and efforts to improving pedagogy. As rankings and scholarly reputation become increasingly important in competing for scarce resources, teaching often takes a back seat.
So law schools tend to be slow to adopt new teaching technologies. Many law professors ban laptops in class, for a variety of reasons: students get distracted and claim they are effective multitaskers; they tend to transcribe rather than listening, thinking, and participating in class; and facing a wall of students hiding behind laptops is disheartening.
I tried banning laptops in my large classes last semester, but I didn't feel that it made any discernable difference in the quality of classroom discussion, so this semester I went back to permitting them. I use KeyNote, the Mac alternative to PowerPoint, mostly for displaying images or textual headings as a sort of way-finding tool to help students orient to where we are in the class. I also have my classes audio recorded, so students who missed can listen at their own pace and, hopefully, participate more actively in class.
However, some of you may have heard some talk of a crisis in legal education. Fewer students are applying to law schools, and everyone is worried about our graduates finding jobs and paying off their student loans. Law schools are being forced to innovate in order to compete.
There has been some interest in "flipping the classroom." I'm skeptical about this; the traditional Socratic method, where students read cases outside of class and teachers push them to analyze and respond to questions and hypotheticals in class, already flips the classroom—if students do the work, and if professors demand it of them. I haven't seen evidence that students are more interested in viewing video lectures than they are in reading course materials.
There have been some experiments with distance and online learning in law schools, but those schools that are interested in online learning are limited by ABA accreditation standards that restrict the use of distance learning to no more than 15 hours toward the 64 credit hours required for graduation
However, there is movement to change the way we do things, much of it coming from outside the university. National and regional accrediting groups increasingly demand measurable assessment of learning. New ABA Law School Accreditation standards require that law schools establish "learning outcomes."
In the area of technology, change is coming as well. ABA Ethics Rules on Competence (Model Rule 1.1, Comment [8]) require that "[t]o maintain the requisite knowledge and skill, a lawyer should keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology." Just this week I'm talking to my Legal Ethics students about using the Blackboard SafeAssign feature to turn in their weekly assignments; if they have difficulty using an online submission tool, it's their responsibility to work it out. I'm going to remind them that most courts now require online submission of all documents, and it's not acceptable for a lawyer to email a brief to the judge and say "I couldn't get it to work, I hope this is OK."
So law schools are starting to be more open to innovation in teaching. A thousand flowers are blooming. Of course, many of those "flowers" are pet projects that are brought forth every time there's an opportunity, and everybody thinks their pet project is the key to the future of legal education. But the upside is that law schools are now less likely to dismiss new ideas, and there is real room for creative change in law schools now and in the future.
Law School Abhors a Vacuum
Nicole Black's latest piece has useful and important things to say about law practice and the state of legal education.
In recent months, because of a number of professional endeavors, I've had the opportunity to engage with members of legal academia along with current law students and recent graduates. My overarching impression of these encounters is that law schools aren't sufficiently preparing law students for 21st century law practice. This is especially so when it comes to technology. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the vast majority of law schools are educating their students in a technology vacuum.
She taps a rich vein here, but the resistance to teaching technology in law schools goes even deeper than she realizes.
Certainly "many law school deans readily acknowledge the impact of technology on the practice of law and the environment in which their graduates will be practicing," but most deans have no idea what that means or what the practice of law is like for most lawyers. Deans don't spend their time socializing with the struggling solo practitioners and small firm lawyers who stand to gain so much from using technology effectively; they socialize with partners in big law firms with deep donor pockets. If those lawyers have any contact with technology at all, it's because they have large technology departments to do everything for them. Same with deans.
"First, there is a staunch resistance by many tenured faculty members to alter their curriculum. Because they are tenured they are immune from pressure to change with the times and are perfectly content to continue teaching as they always have." Also, most tenured faculty don't see that technology has any real relevance to their teaching or the law. A law professor is one who uses Powerpoint in class is seen as technologically sophisticated, and they rarely do so on their own–an alarming number of them rely on assistants or IT staff to make their Powerpoints for them.
To the limited extent there is a general agreement that law schools need to change, most law professors see this as an opportunity to implement the same changes they've always wanted. Some faculty argue for more closely aligning legal education with the practice of law, while others just as strongly argue for even further estrangement from practice and closer alignment with the scholarly goals of universities. Just this morning University of Maryland Professor Paula Monopoli wrote about this in The Boston Globe:
And, indeed, modern law schools are hybrids — professional schools whose mission includes professional identity formation and analytical skill-building. But they are also intellectual centers where faculty are tasked with generating knowledge through legal scholarship. Thus, we are neither fish nor fowl to many of our colleagues in other schools on campus. That wasn't much of a problem when our surpluses represented subsidies to those other schools, but now the power balance has shifted. We've got to respond to the new normal by leaving our silos in larger numbers to forge relationships with scholars and administrators outside the law school. To demonstrate our value and to prove that we fit into the core mission of the university, we need to move toward them in ways that we have historically resisted….
[W]e should rethink the training of legal academics. The vast majority of the legal professoriate has the same training and degree as the practicing bar. Nothing more than a JD is required to teach at an American law school. That three-year curriculum doesn't include any training in traditional academic research skills like empirical methods. While a full-blown PhD may not be necessary, some additional training in standard research tools like statistical analysis would add intellectual rigor.
Like Rahm Emanuel, law schools never want to let a serious crisis go to waste. What we're seeing in law schools today is a struggle among long-standing rivalries over the way legal education should be designed and whom it should benefit.
Good news, bad news
I have very mixed feelings about this.
The fact that the USA Freedom Act has achieved such wide-ranging support may be less an indication of its compromises than of a fundamental shift in American views. In July 2013, following the Snowden revelations, the Pew Research Center reported that for the first time since it started asking the question in 2004, more Americans expressed concern that counter-terrorism measures were infringing their civil liberties than worried that the government was not doing enough to keep them safe.
On one hand, it's encouraging that there may finally be the political will to rein in government surveillance. On the other hand, it's sad to think about the degree to which that change in public perception is probably due to the fact that there is a black man in the White House.
NYS Board of Law Examiners to Simplify Character and Fitness Examination
The New York State Board of Law Examiners today announced plans to simplify the Character and Fitness investigation process. "The current process, requiring the bar applicant to submit a significant amount of paperwork, is cumbersome and time-consuming, as well as subjective and prone to error and bias," the BOLE said in a statement. "It also fails to address the competitive pressures that play such an important part in many ethically problematic situations."
The new Character and Fitness process will feature a series of practical, objective tests to assess the bar applicant's ability to make ethical decisions in circumstances of limited information. In the elimination round of the test, pairs of bar applicants will stand on a bridge over a trolley track, while a group of retirement-age law professors attempt to repair the track before the arrival of the oncoming trolley. In the judgment and decision-making round, the bar applicant will be stationed near a train switch. On one fork of the tracks will be a group of recent law school graduates (funded on a temporary basis by their law schools), while a fellow bar applicant with a higher law school GPA will be tied to the other track.
"Our analysis of the data shows that, over time, this process will help to resolve the current market imbalance between the number of law grads and available law jobs," the statement continued. "The outlook for law school admissions is bright, especially for applicants with quick reflexes and good upper body strength."

Whom Do YOU Trust?
My wife, my parents, my sister and 2 other people. I couldn't watch the video.
Yeah. No one. There are plenty of people inside the "Circle of Trust" but there is NO ONE that I trust with every single piece of financial, personal, and emotional info.
There has NEVER been a person that has 100% access to everything on the list. Never has, and probably never will be.
Didn't watch the video either. I would pick Bush in just about every category over One Bid Assed Mistake America! That guy sucks...
Yeah I'll second that JD Everytime I have tried to fully trust someone you get burned. Sometimes it just aint worth the risk
From 1976 to 1988 I trusted my life to quite a few people, and I never questioned that trust. Today? I trust me...and God (and not in that order)
AS JD and Katoomy said NO ONE totally.
If you have an exwife or once you have an exwife you will know why you don't tell them everything. Effing Biaches.
I saw it. I even told my mom how much of a girly throw he has. Bush has a better placed throw and its thrown a little harder.
I dont trust anybody as far as I can throw them.
Do you think obama bin laden could get anymore loft on that ball. What a wiener.
I have two people I trust completely. Wife and best friend. Friends will help you move, but real friends will help you move bodies.
I trust God. Everyone else: hands where I can see 'em.
Actually, I trust a few friends locally along with immediate family for many things. Trust is a matter of degree and that degree changes depending on circumstance.

text: Hello I'm slightly confused by the settings recommended for my enlarger for each contrast grade. To explain, I have a Kaiser colour enlarger which uses the Durst (max 130M) settings. The Ilford Multigrade RC instructions tell me to use 24Y/42M for grade 3. Now my Kentmere VC Select instructions tell me to use 5Y/50M for grade 3. And another source (Eddie Ephraums excellent book Creative Elements) tell me to use 26Y/60M for grade 3. I'm confused! These values seem quite different. So, I assume that there is no consistency or standardisation between manufacturers. However, what if I used Ilford Multigrade above or below the lens gel filters? Would filter number 3 only give a true grade 3 with Multigrade paper? Whereas it would give a different grade with Kentmere VC Select? Obviously, I will continue to use the settings recommended by the manufacturer for whichever paper I'm using at that moment in time, but it seems odd that the values are so different. Anyone able to help me. Enquiring minds wish to know! Cheers Mike

Microsoft confirmed that their games would launch at prices of $59.99 and although no one really expected anything different, it's always good to get confirmation. This time it's Sony's turn.
We can officially state as of now that all pricing concerns can be put to bed now that Sony themselves have confirmed that their launch/launch window titles will sell at the familiar price of $59.99. This comes a couple days after Microsoft confirmed the same, both to nobodies surprise.
With that said it's important to note that the current generation did increase the prices of games over the previous ones so the concerns weren't completely unfounded. However for an industry that has see better days, more expensive games would certainly set it back further despite any increase publishers might be facing with development budgets.
Of course this isn't to say that some games won't be priced higher in the future, and some won't be priced lower. Both companies were speaking strictly about their first party launch titles, so until there is anything different to report we'll consider this a win.

Power line stolen in Robbins
Posted September 20, 2013
Robbins, N.C. — Two men are accused of stealing a power line from an area off Spies Road near Robbins, the Moore County Sheriff's Office reported Friday.
Jason Maness, of 1248 Browns Mill Road in Robbins, and Jason Warren, of 1598 Browns Mill Road in Robbins, were arrested Wednesday and each charged with two counts of felony larceny, two counts of felony injury to utility wire and fixture, and two counts of felony possession of stolen goods.
Randolph Electric E.M.C reported the larceny Sept. 9, saying 400 feet of line was missing. During the investigation, another section of missing power line was found Browns Mill Rd.
Maness was being held in the Moore County jail under $25,000 bond.
Warren was already in the Moore County jail for felony possession of a stolen vehicle. He remain incarcerated under $35,000 bond.

Lightning owner OK Hockey on Wednesday completed a third day of layoffs. The company said about 25 employees total lost their jobs in the "restructuring." Seven others were fired in an earlier round of layoffs that included marketing head Mark Gullett.
Most prominent Wednesday was longtime media relations specialist Jay Preble.
"I've enjoyed my 13 years with the Lightning and have had the opportunity to work with a lot of great people," he said in a text message. "Now I'm looking forward to my next adventure after I spend some quality time at the soccer fields with my wife and two daughters."
Also let go this week were David Cole, director of fan development, and Matt Hitchcock, who played ThunderBug. The mascot will live on, though likely without a full-time actor.
FEASTER EYES AVALANCHE: Former Lightning general manager Jay Feaster said he is interested in the Colorado GM job that opened Monday when Francois Giguere was fired.
Feaster, 46, is a longtime friend of Avalanche president Pierre Lacroix, who was Colorado's general manager in the mid 1990s, when Feaster was president of the Hershey Bears, the Avalanche's AHL affiliate at the time.
"I have known Pierre Lacroix for a long time … and certainly let him know of my interest in managing again in the National Hockey League and that I would truly enjoy working with him," Feaster said.

Domino's Pizza opens first store in Vizag

The overwhelming response the store has witnessed since its opening few days back proves how popular Domino's Pizza is! Residents of Vizag can't seem to get enough of Domino's Pizza if one is to go by the astounding sales figures since the store's launch in the city.
Domino's Pizza, the market leader in the organized pizza home delivery segment in India (Source: The Food Franchising Report, 2009) launched its first store in Vizag, the city famous for its ports and heavy industries. The store in Vizag, marks another milestone in Domino's Pizza's pan India expansion plans. With its finger firmly on the pulse of the collective palate of the nation, Domino's Pizza marches ahead, opening a string of stores in Tier II & III cities across the country including Calicut, Madurai, Gangtok, Raipur, Guwahati, Jabalpur, Patna, Bhubaneswar, Indore, Ujjain etc, consistently consolidating its market leader position.
The overwhelming response the store has witnessed since its opening few days back proves how popular Domino's Pizza is! Residents of Vizag can't seem to get enough of Domino's Pizza if one is to go by the astounding sales figures since the store's launch in the city.
In keeping with its tagline of 'Khusiyon Ki Home Delivery' through great taste, best in class delivery and value for money, citizens of Vizag can now enjoy the world famous range of Pizzas, Pastas, Wraps, Garlic Bread sticks, Chicken Wings and Chocó Lava Cakes either in the comfort of their homes or at the store in Land Mark Building, Sampath Vinayaka Road. Both dine-in and delivery formats promise to delight the customers with delicious food and great service.
Speaking on the occasion Ajay Kaul, CEO Jubilant FoodWorks Limited said, "Although our brand is dominantly present Andhra Pradesh, we are happy to start our journey in Vizag too as another step to reach out to many more cities in the state. With such a stupendous response to our other stores in the state, Vizag too holds out great potential for us in future. The response that we received in the first few days in the city confirms that Domino's brand has got a universal appeal.
Although we were not present in Vizag earlier but people have watched us all these years on TV and they are more then willing to associate with the brand. Having established our stores successfully in other southern cities like Madurai, Hyderabad, Calicut, Cochin, Thiruvanthapuram we are pleased to consolidate our presence in this region by opening the first store in Vizag."
Speaking on the occasion, Harneet Singh Rajpal, Vice President, Marketing, Domino's Pizza India, said, "Our market research establishes the fact that Pizzas are no longer seen as an alien food in India and we have seen that with the success of Domino's in every new city that we have entered. Domino's Pizza is seen and consumed more as a meal replacement option today. Our unmatched '30 mins or free home delivery' promise and the affordable pricing have made us more acceptable to larger population and here I am not referring to the only urban Indian population but the traditional Indian who resides in the heartland, the small towns and its peripheries. This has propelled our expansion plan and we are determined to bring happiness to every doorstep in India." Giving an insight into Domino's Pizza's success formula, Harneet revealed, "In smaller cities, dining out is a special occasion or an entertainment for the family & friends. Keeping this in mind our stores have been designed for a comfortable dine-in. However, even in such cities, home delivery as a concept is catching up fast, with the modern lifestyles on the rise. In Vizag too, we have launched with both the formats and we hope to do equally well in both."

Alright, so last week I posted about how to write your Your First Windows Phone App. I figured I would follow that up by doing the same username generator app for windows 8.1 to give people a starting point for both Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone. With that said, this will be very similar to the Windows Phone version, but nevertheless, we will walk through the how to steps for Windows 8.
So, first thing we are going to is create a black Windows 8 app by going to File->New->Project and then Templates->Visual C#->Windows Store-> and finally select Black App (XAML). Give it a name, and click OK.
Now that we have a project created, we need to design the UI for the app. This part is going to be fairly simple. We only need three things; a textblock for a title, textblock to display the username, and a button to generate the username. So, go ahead and open up the MainPage.xaml. Now, open up the toolbox (you can find it under the "view" tab), and click and drag two "textblocks" and a button onto the visual editor. You can arrange the controls and edit them (mainly font size and text to display) how you want. but we are looking for something similar to the following.
Once you have the general layout here, we need do a couple of things, the first of which is to give a name to our textblock that will display the username. You can call it what you want, but I am going to call it "Username_Text". You can give it this name by adding the following line of code to the xaml within the textblock tags.
After you have named your textblock, we need do add the "Click Handler" for our button. Visual Studio makes this very easy on us, as we can simple double click on the button in our visual editor, and it will create the handler method for us as well as take us to the code behind page as shown below.
Now, we have our layout and the handler method for our button. The last thing we need to do is add the logic for our app. The basic idea here is to have an array of adjectives and an array of animals, take a random one from each, and combine them with a random number to create the username. So, let's first declare and initialize our arrays to store the adjectives and animals. We will declare the two arrays as members of our class just before the MainPage constructor like this. We will also declare a Random variable, that we will use in a minute.
string[] ajectives_array;
string[] animals_array;
Random r;
Then we create a method called InitializeArrays() and call it from the MainPage() constructor to…yep, you guessed it, initialize the two arrays and the Random variable. I am going to keep it simple and just add 5 to each.
ajectives_array = new string[5]{"happy", "sad", "tired", "funny", "athletic"};
animals_array = new string[5] { "dog", "cat", "bird", "fish", "snake" };
r = new Random();
Now, the last thing we need to do is add the logic for actually generating the random username. The idea is pretty simple. Get a random number between 0 and 4 to pull both a random adjective and animal, and then a random number between 0 and 99 to tack on the end. Put all of these together, and set the text field for our username textblock to the new username and voila, you've done it. When you've got all of the code, it should look like this.
Alright, you should now have a very basic username generator. I encourage everyone to customize and improve this very simple UI, and then maybe add some different words to pull from for the username generator. This is a great app to start with, so feel free to use what we have done here to publish your first Windows 8 app :).
In the meantime you can find my very simple username generator in the store, here.

|Long route, best to bring a 70m, you can do it in two raps with a shorter rope by using the intermediate anchor. First half was not that pleasant, rather shallow and flaring. After the ledge it is good fun; solid jamming in a variety of sizes. I'd strongly recommend linking salal jam into the second half for a higher-quality experience.

It's as inevitable and, in most cases, as unwelcome as that overcrowded rush-hour train. Stress: We're all its victims to some degree. But do we know what causes it, and what its long-term effects on the body can be?
At its most basic level, human stress is emotional change, or the impairment of homeostasis that may result from interaction with the environment. In other words, stress is tension — whether physical or mental — brought about by external factors. Physical factors can include the likes of exposure to extreme temperatures, injury or shock; psychological ones can range from marital breakdown to stage fright.
But not all stress is bad. Exercise produces temporary physical stress, but its benefits are undeniable — unless you have an undiscovered heart condition. Occasional stress can also be useful and productive if we have a way of channeling the energy it creates.
"Whether a stimulus induces excitement or distress, we undergo the same physiological reaction," said Nozomu Asukai of the Stress Disorders Research Department of the Tokyo Institute of Psychiatry.
"However, what we now think of as stress is mostly the 'distress' variety, the kind that brings about psychosomatic or psychological effects. But Olympic athletes experience a kind of nervousness that can act as a motivator — this, too, is stress."
In response to a challenging event, glands secrete hormones such as epinephrine into the bloodstream. This gives us an energy boost and prepares us to respond — to fight or flee. As a result, our heart rate surges, blood pressure rises and our pupils dilate; we become ultra-vigilant.
Another hormone, cortisol — sometimes termed the "stress hormone" — is produced by the adrenal glands, and this converts glycogen stored in the liver into blood sugar to provide increased energy. At the same time, blood is also diverted away from the stomach to free up more energy, thus causing the digestive tract to shut down — which is why continued exposure to stress can lead to ulcers.
This adrenal activity was important for our ancient ancestors, for whom a fight or flight response was essential for survival. Though modern "stressors" are more likely to be wild-card bosses and invasive PCs than wild animals and invading clans, our response system remains the same. And rather than being occasional nuisances, stressors today are often as persistent as they are multifarious. Worse still, many are intangible.
Although cause and effect are difficult to pin down precisely, clinicians are in no doubt that continual exposure to stressors can have damaging — or even fatal — medical consequences. One study, published this year by the University of Pittsburgh, found that people facing combined factors of severe workplace stress and marital strife were around 70 percent more at risk of dying from heart disease than those not troubled by these stressors.
Research at a medical school in Nagoya also linked workplace stress to "sudden cardiac death."
Asukai explained that the biochemical basis for this danger lies in the autonomic nervous system's inability to distinguish between various stressors. Consequently, emotional stressors, such as those that induce anxiety, will set off the same sequence of reactions in our bodies as if we were being chased by a big, angry dog. In the former case, however, the counteraction the body automatically prepares for may never take place. As a result, the released stress hormones are left to build up, and at the same time the body continues its efforts to adapt to the increasing strain.
Ultimately, if that pressure remains unreleased, exhaustion sets in and breakdown occurs, Asukai said, with the body's immune system being greatly weakened in extreme cases.
In fact, it is now more than 50 years since U.S. scientists first demonstrated that rodents subjected to stressful stimuli were more likely to develop viral infections than their non-stressed counterparts. Last year, research at an Ohio medical university made the further discovery that stress may increase the chance of skin wounds becoming infected.
In addition, immune-system breakdown caused by stress has also long been connected with an increased risk of cancer, while atopic (inherited, allergic) diseases such as asthma and dermatitis are said to be exacerbated by psychological stress. This is also thought to be a direct cause of nicotine, alcohol and other drug abuses.
As if all this weren't enough, elevated levels of cortisol can lead to depression, which can lead to suicide.
Meanwhile, the mounting pressure caused by undischarged hormonal secretions can also trigger psychosomatic problems such as sleep disorders, irritability and aggressive behavior. Experiments have shown that mice kept in a stressful environment become increasingly aggressive and eventually inflict harm on each other, Asukai commented.
"It is not difficult to see how mothers who are isolated and unsupported by their spouses could become stressed-out and aggressive toward their children," Asukai said. As the number of people in this situation is increasing in Japan — the decline of the extended family system often robs mothers of vital support — this may be a factor in the increased incidence of child abuse, which has jumped twentyfold in the past decade.
Other conditions thought to result from psychological stress include bruxism, the habit of grinding or clenching the teeth, particularly during sleep; temporomandibular disorders (trouble with opening and closing the jaw); irritable bowel syndrome; eating disorders; and techno-anxiety.
Of course, all this costs — and not just on a personal level. In the U.S., for instance, stress-related illness (including the likes of repetitive strain injury) is estimated to cost the economy $150 billion a year, while in Britain the number of occupational stress-related cases entering the courts jumped more than 12-fold from 2000-2001, reaching 6,000, with payouts totaling more than 320 million British pounds.
While similar statistics for Japan are unavailable, a study last year by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of 114,000 inpatients entering Toyko hospitals on a given day, found that 22 percent were suffering from psychiatric and stress-related disorders — a close second to the 23 percent suffering from heart diseases.

The two men – one involved in the taxi industry and the other at first believed to be an art lecturer – arrested for defacing the controversial portrait of Jacob Zuma were apparently acting separately.
In a brazen gesture at the Goodman Gallery in Joburg on Tuesday, and in front of a crew from e.tv's 3rd Degree programme, the two men used red and black paint to destroy The Spear, a painting by Cape Town artist Brett Murray.
Footage, which has been flighted on e.tv, shows a man painting a red cross over the depiction of Zuma's prominently displayed genitals, then another over his face.
The second man then steps forward to spread large globs of black paint across and down the portrait with his fingers.
E.tv reporter Imaan Rapetti, who was in the gallery filming at the time of the defacing, said she saw a man shuffling along, looking slightly suspicious. She originally thought he simply wanted to get a better view of the painting or was part of an art installation.
But when the man whipped out a red paint bottle and brush and drew a big red cross over Zuma's genitalia, she realised something was wrong.
"I apprehended him and said 'what are you doing, what are you doing?'. Everyone started looking at me like I'm crazy," Repeti said.
Shortly after the men – aged 58 and 25 – were arrested and charged for malicious damage to property, a third man arrived at the gallery and spraypainted the letters "RES" before he too was arrested and taken to Rosebank police station.
National police spokesman Colonel Vish Naidoo confirmed that the two men caught on camera in the gallery were aged 58 and 25, but their names had not been confirmed.
"It was a coincidence they came at the same time, with the same intention, it seems," said the 25-year-old's attorney, Kish Naidoo, adding he believed the two did not know each other.
Naidoo said they would open a case of assault against the Goodman Gallery because his client was body-slammed by security.
He described his client as a young man who was involved in the taxi industry in Limpopo and had an interest in art.
Friends of the man, one of whom is an artist, gathered at the station to await his release.
He was released on R1 000 bail on Tuesday night and will appear in court on Thursday.
The 58-year-old man's attorney, Xolani Mofokeng, said they were also hoping to secure his release on Tuesday night.
It was unclear what the third man would be charged with at the time of publication. The three were due to appear in the Hillbrow Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
After the incident, the gallery said the painting had been removed from the premises "to a safe location pending the (outcome of the) court case".
A later statement indicated that the Goodman Gallery will be temporarily closed to protect itself, its staff and its visitors following "numerous threats of intimidation".
"The painting has generated a debate that clearly engages with important legal and constitutional issues," said gallery owner Liza Essers in the statement.
"This is over and above questions of political power, which formed part of its original dialogue. The extent of the rage has astonished me and upset me very much. I furthermore never imagined that this debate would transform into harmful physical action."
Meanwhile, the Young Communist League of SA (YCLSA) endorsed the defacing of The Spear and offered to help foot the bill if the two men responsible need legal assistance.
Earlier this week, the league announced it would be marching on the Constitutional Court tomorrow, then to the Goodman Gallery to destroy the piece. But league national secretary Buti Manamela said the YCLSA could not take credit for the actions of the two men who vandalised the artwork on Tuesday.
Manamela said it would be up to the courts to decide if what the two men had done was vandalism, but in the eyes of the league, it was an act of justice that helped to redeem the dignity of the president.
"(Murray) has vandalised the dignity of the president," said Manamela, who added that the men involved should be rewarded for their deeds. "This is the people's justice."
In his statement, Manamela also compared The Spear to an internet viral image of Western Cape Premier Helen Zille, also nude and clearly photoshopped.
Regardless of their political affiliation, Manamela said, it was the league's opinion that no state or elected official should be mocked in such a way.

Home > China Destination > Liaoning > Shenyang > Shenyang Attractions > Strange Slope
About 30 km from the northeastern portion of Shenyang stands an intriguing landmark that has attracted tourists from all across the globe because of the mystery that remains gathered around it for years now. This is known as the Strange Slope.
A unique point of interest that draws the 'strange'ness in its name from its apparent capability of defying the gravitational force! It is hard to say what Newton's reaction would have been but all the visitors absolutely love it when their cars parked on the slope climb up automatically instead of sliding down.
It is said that the slope was discovered by a driver who parked his car at the roadside but then was baffled when it started climbing the slope on its own! Scholars believe that magnetic field and optical illusion contribute to this apparently confusing characteristic. But since nobody could come up with a definite logical explanation, the aura of mystery holds supreme.
Things to do
The slope was discovered in the April of 1990 and has since then been the centre of much tourist activity. It occupies an area of 9 sq. km, runs 80 meters in length and 15 meters in width. The mystery of this site extends beyond the slope to two other adjoining attractions Xiangshan and Wongding. Together, the trio is popularly known as the 'Three Mysteries'.
1. Xiangshan: Etymologically, the name Xiangshan means a hill that creates a loud sound. Situated on a hillside just 328 feet from the Strange Slope, one can hear the loud echo from below the earth's surface when stomped on the hillside.
2. Wongding: This is very close to the Strange Slope. True to its name, Wongding produces sound resembling one made when a wooden hammer or a stone hits the ground.
Between the Strange Slope and Xiangshan lie a labyrinth and also a path with 518 steep steps. Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful surrounding from these stairs.
Perhaps the awesomeness of the Strange Slope area lies in the sheer beauty that the surrounding mountains conjure up which, in a way, is as mesmerizing as a mystery. Yunmaoshan, Wolongshan, Guibeishan, Changkongshan and Dagushan create yet another enchanting entity called the Five Great Mountains. While the last three resemble three floating tortoises, Yunmaoshan appeals to the aesthetics with its lofty peak that remains covered in the cloud throughout the year and Wolongshan reminds one of a crouching dragon with its feet on the valley where the Chinese Scholar trees grow in abundance. The months of May and June add a new charm and beauty to the already scenic valley. During this time petals float in the air and cover the whole valley with a snowy whiteness.
The Strange Slope area is the home to many other attractions. These include the ancient Bao'en Temple, modern adventurous Concentric Rope Bridge and Entertainment Shooting Range. The area is also famous for 3 beautiful lakes Lihua, (on the south of Guai Po), Yueya (on the north) and Yinshan (on the east) and 1 enchanting spring called the Xiamei Spring.The water of this spring is sweet and never freezes even during the winters.
It is said that in the ancient times the spring was called the Dragon Spring because it came out of the mouth of a dragon that lived under the mountain. Also, the spring had water only during the full moon. Later on it was named after Xiamei, a fairy and the daughter of Yudi, the king of Heaven, for her kind deeds that saved a lot of people and made the spring a year-long phenomenon.

Perfect Moment Monday is more about noticing a perfect moment than about creating one. Perfect moments are just waiting to be observed, and can be momentous or ordinary or somewhere in between.
We gather here once a week to engage in mindfulness about something that is right with our world, if only for a, well, a moment. Everyone is welcome to join. Details on how to participate are at the bottom of this post, complete with bloggy bling.
Now, here's mine.
I'm well aware of my shortcomings as a mom. I lack enough patience. I don't engage deeply and often enough with my kids. I have an overwhelming need to have time and space away from them. I am not Fun Mom simply because of my aversion to activities for which there will be more than 90 seconds of cleanup.
I am also aware of my strengths. I have healthy boundaries with them. I respect myself and expect that they treat me (and others) respectfully. I model for them how to love one's body and treat it well. I model lifelong learning and inquisitiveness.
I added something new this week: the ability to sit with pain and discomfort without fixing it.* Which, not surprisingly, mended the situation.
Reed is surrounded by alpha people. The other three members of his household are all very bossy eldest children, and his best friend is a hellion spirited child. Reed is incredibly resilient, and has a wide range in which to accommodate the whims and demands of others.
One day last week, he'd had a particularly pushed-around day. He got blamed by his kindergarten teacher for something another kid did. His best friend wouldn't give back Reed's Star Wars game, and later when Tessa got home, she kept interrupting him as he tried to tell me his troubles. He grew increasingly whiny and pouty.
Rather than my usual reaction to whining, which is to send him to his room until he can be pleasant again, I simply picked him up and carried him gently to another room and told him, "It sounds like you've had a hard day. Sometimes it's hard to share, isn't it?"
His little body collapsed into mine and he sobbed into my shoulder, more relieved to be understood than sad about the day. Tessa came to get in on the action, and I gently asked her to wait for me in the kitchen (and she complied!).
Reed got the message that he deserved 100% of something once in awhile.
Then it was over. And his surrender was a perfect moment for me.
*I was grateful that I'd recently read this post by Melissa that predisposed me to an empathic approach.
Be sure to follow the other stories/links because as we know, perfect moments can be found in giving and receiving comments. So how about you deliver a couple of Perfect Moment seeds and trust that they'll grow?

ST. PETERSBURG — LHP David Price had to settle for a pair of milestones.
A lack of overall sharpness limited him to six innings Wednesday, and the ninth-inning tying homer by Ian Kinsler left him with a no-decision, but Price, 26, reached both the 200-inning and 200-strikeout marks for the first time in his career.
"You're always looking for growth, and that's growth right there," manager Joe Maddon said. "In the offseason when he is sitting down back in Tennessee and he can think about what had happened this year, that is a milestone.
"And then you look at next year to build off of something like that. You just can't go from 0-60, you've got to go 40, 50 and then 60. So with him, this is something that next year coming into the season, then I'm more comfortable regarding permitting him to try to do other things because he's been kind of stretched."
Price joined teammate James Shields in the 200-200 club and seemed to take as much satisfaction in that as anything.
"It's been a lot of fun watching him pitch the entire year," Price said. "I'm just glad I had some success."
As for the dual milestones? "That's just consistency," he said. "I haven't thrown the ball extremely well this year, but I've had some spots when I have and I think it shows."
Price, by fanning Mike Napoli to end the fifth, became the third Rays pitcher to get to 200, joining Scott Kazmir (2007) and Shields. Price and Shields lead the majors in tandem strikeouts at 405.
1,000 CLUB: The Rays logged their 1,000th win in their 2,245th game. "That's a nice milestone," Maddon said. "Many more thousands to come."
FARNSVILLE: RHP Kyle Farnsworth blew his fifth save in 28 chances and first since July 23. The homer to Kinsler was just the third he allowed this season and his first since June 28, ending a span of 87 batters not going deep.
CATCHING ON: C Jose Lobaton, who left Tuesday's game after "tweaking" his left knee, felt better Wednesday and Maddon expects him to be able to catch by Friday.
MINOR MATTERS: Triple-A Durham lost 3-0 to Columbus (Indians) to open the best-of-five first-round International League playoffs. LHP Matt Moore allowed three runs in 62/3 innings. RHP Chris Archer is scheduled for Game 2 tonight, against former Rays RHP Mitch Talbot. The Bulls added RHPs Matt Bush and Jim Paduch to their roster from Montgomery and dropped RHPs Brian Baker and Lance Cormier. … Class A Bowling Green's Midwest League playoff opener at Fort Wayne (Padres) was postponed and rescheduled for tonight. … Moore was runner-up for Baseball America's minor-league player of the year award, which went to Angels OF prospect Mike Trout.
LINING UP: Maddon had planned to sit 1B Casey Kotchman so he'd have the benefit of two days off, but Kotchman said he felt okay and wanted to play, and Maddon gave in easily given the defensive benefits of having him on the field. "It was easier for him to talk me into it," Maddon said. Maddon started Justin Ruggiano in right and rookie Brandon Guyer at DH because he felt Guyer was not yet comfortable with the tricky Trop roof.
MISCELLANY: The 11 walkoff wins tie the team record; also 2000, 2008. … CF B.J. Upton played his 800th game, moving past Aubrey Huff for second on the franchise all-time list behind Carl Crawford (1,235). With two more walks, Upton will match Carlos Peña's team record of 373. … The doubleheader in New York was set for Sept. 21, with first pitches at 1:05 and 7:05. … Greg Riddoch, the Rays' third-base coach in 1998-99, visited the last two games.

Bentek's new Market Alert, Power Jump-Starts New Gas Market Cycle, reports that U.S. natural gas demand will grow 9.9 Bcf/d by 2017, with 40% of the demand increase being driven by power burn. Since 2008, domestic gas production growth has outpaced gas demand growth, squeezing out LNG and Canadian imports from the U.S. supply stack. However, with little in imports left to squeeze out, recent increases in power burn demand will mark a turning point in which demand will increasingly set the pace for production growth.
Significant displacement of coal by natural gas in the U.S. power generation stack in 2012 helped absorb the natural gas supply shock resulting from last year's warm winter and record-high storage inventories. Bentek expects coal displacement by natural gas to continue over the long-term. With other sources of natural gas demand staying flat over the next five years, power burn will continue to represent the biggest area of new demand growth for natural gas.
Access the overview: http://marketing.platts.com/forms/NGAM201212-Bentek-Power-Jump-Overview?mvr=email&T2button&WT.mc_id=NGAM201212_Bentek%20December%20Emails&WT.tsrc=Eloqua
Key takeaways from Bentek's new Market Alert:
• Natural gas demand growth over the next five years will allow production to grow another 12.8 Bcf/d by 2017.
• The tighter balance between production and U.S. demand is expected to keep prices range bound on an average annual basis, with resistance at $5.00/MMBtu.
• Coal-to-gas switching related gas demand more than doubled in 2012 to date year-over-year to 6.0 Bcf/d, from just above 3.0 Bcf/d in 2011.
• The majority of the changes in demand and production will occur in the Northeast and Southeast regions, leading to big changes and increased volatility in flow dynamics and pricing relationships between regions.

The UK government is giving £5m towards a new building for graduates and research at the Glasgow School of Art.
George Osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, has announced the funding for the Graduate and Research Centre at the Commonwealth Games Business Conference in Glasgow.
The centre is the next stage of the redevelopment of the GSA campus in the city centre, although as yet it does not have a confirmed location.
Last week the UK Government also pledged £5m to the efforts to restore the Mackintosh Building which was devastated by a fire in May.
Osborne, whose father co-founded the firm of fabric and wallpapers designers Osborne & Little, said: "I grew up in a family that valued design. My father created a manufacturing business based on interior design and it has always been part of my life.
"The name of Charles Rennie Mackintosh - synonymous with iconic architecture and design - is a magnet that draws people time and again to Glasgow.
"And there can be no doubt that the jewel in the Mackintosh crown is the Glasgow School of Art.
"The people of Glasgow and many people far beyond were horrified when a few weeks ago fire ripped through the Art School, gutting its priceless library.
"The UK Government has already made a £5m contribution to the Mackintosh Appeal to help ensure that the building is restored to its former glory.
"And we are today making an additional £5m contribution to support the School's new Graduate and Research Centre.
"Protecting the school's strong heritage and equipping it for the future."
Professor Tom Inns, director of The Glasgow School of Art said: "We are extremely grateful to the UK government for this support which recognises both the importance of research in creative disciplines to the future of the British economy, and the international profile of The Glasgow School of Art as a leading centre of studio-based creative education.
"The GSA has one of the largest research communities in the visual creative disciplines in the UK. The Graduate Research Centre will help us to develop our research profile further through new partnerships with national and international organisations."
The Graduate and Research Centre will be a "multi-disciplinary hub" but its precise location and design have yet to be confirmed.

Earlier this week, Rihanna finally decided to unfollow her ex Chris Brown after the singer released a remix to Kanye's "Theraflu" that seemed to imply she was promiscuous. Within hours of her unfollow decision, Brown did the same. That's typically how unfollowing between former couples goes on the popular website. Once one chooses to sever ties, the other follows suit as soon as the slap is discovered, but Russell Brand has never really done anything by the book.
His soon-to-be ex-wife Katy Perry dropped Brand from her Twitter life almost immediately after the divorce settlement was officially agreed to, but according to US Weekly, the comedian didn't get around to doing the same until a few days ago. Whether all the stories of her new romance with Florence + The Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd played a role isn't known, but you'd have to imagine the timing is too much of a coincidence for it not to have been some sort of factor.
By all accounts, Brand seems like a pretty decent guy. While neither he nor Perry has ever officially given a reason why the marriage ended, most sources have said the split had a lot to do with him preferring to stay away from Hollywood parties and the nightlife. As such, I would be shocked if he ever publicly bashes his ex or even addresses this Twitter unfollowing. He seems content to move on, and if unfollowing her was the last step in that process, so be it.

London (May. 16)
The suggestion that the League of Nations deal with the question of the Jews of Germany was made by David Lloyd George, veteran Liberal leader, in an address this afternoon before the Woman's Liberal Conference at Scarborough.
"Let us talk to Germany on the basis of insisting on a just level of fair-play all around, both for the six hundred thousand Jews in Germany as well as for the Germans themselves," the former prime minister declared. "It is a fatal error to mix up the abominable treatment of the German Jews with the abominable treatment of Germany by the Allies over disarmament," he told the conference.

I think my sister is like this. She seems to be more interested in being a mom than a wife. She's always posting pictures my nephews on facebook and everything is about them, but she rarely mentions her husband.
He's a nice enough guy, but I think she just said yes to the first man who asked her to get married so that she could have what she considers a typical family.
Is this why so many straight men get all surly and withdrawn as they get older?
