Abstract and Keywords
For much of the history of the study of international relations, and of foreign policy as a distinctive subfield, scholars have debated the relative weight of agency and structure in shaping the course of international events. Often, the significance of agency versus structure depends on the scope of inquiry. Efforts to identify broad patterns of social interaction tend to play up the significance of structure, while studies of specific events bring agency to the fore. International relations theory is typically associated with the former, and foreign policy analysis (FPA) is more closely linked to the latter. That association suggests that the question of agency versus structure in international outcomes is settled in FPA in favor of agency. An assessment of the literature in FPA shows such a suggestion to be wide of the mark. Not only does FPA struggle with the question of agency versus structure that pervades the study of international relations generally, but also it wrestles with how to reconcile agency and structure in the context of psychological constraints on human cognition. Thus, rather than resolving the debate between agency and structure, the literature on FPA shows that it extends down to the level of individual policymakers. The debate over the role of agency and structure occupies two axes. The first is the engagement of FPA with broader debates over agency and structure in international relations scholarship. The second is the tension between agency and structure in FPA that emerges once psychology is incorporated into the analytical matrix. In both cases, the significance of structure in the actual analysis of foreign policy is far greater than common conception recognizes. This reality means that FPA represents the cutting edge for theoretical and analytical efforts to understand the relationship between structure and agency in international outcomes.

CHICAGO - Chicago police investigating the mysterious cyanide death of a lottery winner questioned his wife for more than four hours and executed a search warrant on their home.
Shabana Ansari's attorney, Steven Kozicki, says Ansari was subjected to a long session of questioning at a police station in November and that detectives searched the home.
Police have not said if Ansari is considered a suspect. Kozicki says she vehemently maintains she had nothing to do with the July death of her husband, Urooj Khan. Police have not spoken publicly of any suspects.
Khan died just days before he was to collect $425,000 in lottery winnings.
Authorities initially ruled the death a result of natural causes, but further tests showed he was poisoned and his death was reclassified as a homicide.

Germany, it turns out, do not do group stage nail-biters after all. On a clear, mild night in rather desolate low-rise suburban Lviv, a 2-1 defeat of Denmark that was not without alarms ensured it would be Joachim Löw's fluent and hard-running Nationalmannschaft who escaped Group B without the indignity of last-ditch convulsions. Germany will now play Greece, who may feel – in every sense – they owe them one.
With both teams' destiny still in the balance until Lars Bender's late winner knocked the stuffing out of a weary Denmark, this was a fitting conclusion to a group that had been anointed with death-status the moment it was drawn in Kiev. But it had in fact fizzled with unpredictable life, with the fate of all four teams still undecided as the final round of matches kicked off.
Löw is known for a certain restless perfectionism and he was dissatisfied with elements of his team as he looked forward to a quarter-final against a team he described as "very hard – it's like you're biting on a rock".
"It was a very difficult match," Löw said. "In the first half we had three or four chances to make it all clear. We might have killed the situation. In midfield and defence we had too many spaces and Denmark took the tempo out of the game at times. Greece will try to do the same."
Here Germany settled the quicker in front of an agreeably raucous 35,000 crowd, Thomas Müller shooting over the bar after just two minutes, having found space on the right from Lukas Podolski's cross. Chief among this Germany team's shared attributes are a wonderful athleticism and sense of balance in possession and the Podolski-Philipp Lahm axis on the left looked effortlessly penetrative in the early stages.
Denmark, starved of possession, mustered just a sole Nicklas Bendtner shot that was battered well wide of goal before, with a certain inevitability, Germany opened the scoring on 19 minutes. The goal was created by Müller, who skipped inside on the right and crossed for Gomez, who miscontrolled a ball fizzed at his feet. Podolski was in the right place to pick up the deflection and finish from close range. It was his 44th international goal on his 100th appearance.
These are resilient Danes, however, and four minutes later they were level from an expertly worked deep corner, a routine they had already tried once. Bendtner rose to head the ball powerfully back across goal and Michael Krohn-Dehli was alert to nod the ball past Manuel Neuer. Suddenly the match and the group were, if not in the balance, then showing signs of intrigue: as things stood elsewhere Denmark would qualify behind Germany.
Before kick-off there had been some talk of connivance between these two, perhaps even a reprise of the Shame of Gijon, an engineered 1-0 victory for West Germany that kept both themselves and Austria in the 1982 World Cup and eliminated Algeria. Here both teams knew a draw could see them progress to the quarter-finals. Would circumstances conspire to produce a laying-down in Lviv?
Not on the face of it as Germany continued to press, Mesut Ozil's whipped free-kick from the right skimming the eyebrows of Gomez as he tried to force it home from three yards. And three minutes before half-time Gomez almost walked the ball into the net, having picked up a pass from Müller and ambled away from two defenders, only to see Anderson smother. He is the most agreeably quirky of dead-eye goal machines.
Denmark also pressed and exposed a degree of give in Germany's backline as Bendtner won the ball with ease in the air and Germany struggled to clear as ruthlessly as they attack.
With the score in the other match in the group also 1-1 at the start of the second half, there were all possible scenarios to play for. A goal for Denmark might have been enough to put Germany out and they almost had one on 51 minutes, Jakob Poulsen clipping the outside of the post from Bendtner's lay-off. Before long though Germany were showing another side to their game, keeping the ball, at times at walking pace, and drawing the sting of opponents who needed to score. Denmark had one final opening.
In fact, they should have had a penalty after 75 minutes, albeit out of nothing: Bendtner was clearly pulled back by Holger Badstuber stretching for a cross from the left. Nothing was given and Germany exacted a merciless turnaround. Four minutes later Ozil produced a swift diagonal pass to the impressive converted right-back Lars Bender and he finished clinically. Portugal's win over Holland means it is they who progress to play the Czechs on Thursday, a day before Germany's quarter-final.

| 7.9°C Belfast
Julie Bowen has revealed she had no idea what she was doing when she took on an animated role in a new Disney movie.
The Modern Family actress stepped into the sound booth to record the voice of rescue plane Dipper in Planes 2: Fire And Rescue, but said she had not realised what a challenge it would be.
Speaking on the red carpet at the world premiere of the film in Los Angeles, the mother-of-three said: "I did it because it was from that Cars universe and I knew it was a big warm embrace, they don't make mistakes over there, but when I got in there and started doing it I realised I didn't have a clue.
"I thought: 'This isn't going to be fun because I don't know what I am doing', but they were wonderful and let me have so much fun and run around in circles and scream and yell and act like a chicken and it was great."
Julie said her three young sons were particularly excited that she is now immortalised as a toy plane and recalled her own favourite toys from her childhood.
"We had little horses, I desperately wanted a horse and that was not on the menu so we had horses with stiff rubber legs that you could kind of articulate a little bit but that was it. My horses had names and stories and families, it was the closest I was going to get to a real one."
Comedian Dane Cook reprises his role of Dusty Crophopper for the sequel, which sees his character take on the new challenge of firefighting when his racing days are threatened by engine damage.
Asked about his favourite childhood toys, the funnyman said: "I had a lot of Star Wars toys when I was a kid - Star Wars and GI Joe - and I would play with them for hours and it informs me even today when I'm working on animation alone in the booth because it brings out that fantastical 'what if?' side of you, so that is my early memory of playing in the backyard."
Planes 2: Fire And Rescue is released in Scotland on August 1 and across the rest of the country on August 8.

In December of 2011 I was pushing some things around the garage when I noticed a cardboard box was starting to get weak on the bottom. Oh no! This whole tower of crap is going to land right on the TT and scratch the paint! The balancing act continued for what seemed an eternity - about 3 seconds - before the top box fell right onto the hood of the car. I pushed the rest of the stack the other way and used the re-bound inertia to bring myself back to the box on the car - afraid to drag it across

Unfortunately, I'm starting to think there is something wrong with my 3rd gear shift fork. From what I can see, the shifter will run through all the gears without the clutch, but it does hit every position (so there's no missing linkage). I verified by removing the airbox and shfiting through the positions at the tranny then looking into the car to see that the shifter changed position.

I had stopped in after work to do the dealership, and the salesman followed me home to drop off the car I was driving so that I could come back to drive the TT home.
The salesguy and I are
I fell in love with the lines of the TT since the concept debuted while I was in college. I would sit in class and draw the shape over and over as doodles in my notebook. I was in my 2nd job out of college when the New Beetle debuted. I had a 1966 Beetle and was pretty excited about the upcoming New Beetle. I had a deposit on the MY2000 1.8T New Beetle and finally got mine in late 1999. I hadn't really thought of the TT any more, so it was just kind of "out of sight, out of mind."

The sale of part of Congress Square Park to the new owners of the Eastland Hotel may go down in Portland's history as one of the great mistakes, along with: 1) the demolition of Union Station; 2) the abandonment of Portland Public Market by the Libra Foundation, and 3) the failure to develop the State Pier as part of the Ocean Gateway project.
In council, Cheryl Leeman's amendments did little to improve the articles of the original sale agreement or to address concerns with it on the part of Greater Portland Landmarks and members of the public, including a lawsuit that may give Rockbridge Capital reason to renege on the deal, let alone the complication of delaying sale until after all city approvals.
The sale agreement is certainly in the hotel's favor, since they only had to purchase two-thirds of the undervalued property, knowing full well that the other third will serve as their plaza, where conference guests may gather during intermissions of events indoors and outnumber all else, making city officials regret not selling them the whole parcel.
In retrospect, since the City Council has approved the sale, the hotel's plans seem meager and uninspired.
They could have, for instance, designed a new hotel entrance that faced Congress Square, created more room for embarking and disembarking hotel guests in comfort without disturbing traffic on High Street, and included a ground-level outdoor cafe.
But this was not the first incarnation of the Eastland Hotel and may not be the last, as its ownership invariably changes hands in the years to come.
Meanwhile, a parcel of public property in the midst of Congress Square is lost forever, having been transformed into the Malaga Island of Back Street, as Congress Street was once known, by the scurrilous remarks of the public in 2013.

Poland Spring truck drivers respect town's pedestrians
I live on Main Street in Steep Falls, a small town that has a lot of children playing near the streets. The speed limit for Route 11 is 25 mph. Most people exceed 35 to 40 mph, making it very dangerous for children and the many, many in my community who walk to exercise.
The Poland Spring truck drivers who go by my house on a daily basis are very safety-minded and respectful. They travel at the speed limit or below and always will have a friendly wave to me and my neighbors whenever we are out.
I have also followed them up Route 117. Whenever they encounter a big hill, they will put their flashers on to warn traffic behind them that they are about to slow down. Each of them should be commended for the way they drive and the managers who require that they do so.
I want to say "thank you" for the safety of our neighborhood. And I wish for them to know that our little town appreciates the respect they have for us!

Farmers versus Monsanto is David-and-Goliath case
I have been following the case pitting the farmers versus Monsanto ("Maine farmers appeal Monsanto case to Supreme Court," Sept. 6). I firmly believe that Monsanto is wrong. I, for one, would like Monsanto to lose.
You can ask any Vietnam veteran who was exposed to Agent Orange, and they will tell you that Monsanto is wrong. Monsanto is one of the chemical companies that made this product.
I also believe the only reason Monsanto won the case is because they have the money to beat the small organic farmers. Also, President Obama has one of Monsanto's bigwigs working for him.
I, for one, was exposed to Agent Orange, which was stored in the city of Da Nang, where I was stationed.
The Portland Press Herald has done some reports on this killing agent in the past. I say, "Down with these big chemical companies." I hope they lose by going to the Supreme Court.
They do need to be exposed. Wouldn't you like to know what they are putting in our food? Look what they tried to do to the dairy farmers. Oakhurst Dairy beat them, and I hope the organic farmers do, too.

Local tar sands opposition based on warming concerns
In a recent letter ("Tar sands oil isn't the bogeyman," Sept. 4), Elliot Rappaport explained why he isn't worried about tar sands oil flowing through Maine.
While there are many details of his analysis that I might contest, I was most struck by his final comment: "If we are unhappy with the consequences of our demand for energy, we need to find ways to use less, not wage piecemeal fights against each imagined threat to the landscape."
I am indeed unhappy with the consequences of our society's addiction to fossil fuels.
In addition to the devastating effects of tar sands extraction detailed by Mr. Rappaport, our energy use has led to the severe threat to our economy posed by global warming.
Every serious scientist acknowledges that this threat is both real and manmade. We're already feeling its effects: nationally in Midwest droughts that cost U.S. taxpayers $100 billion last year, locally in last winter's superstorm.
It's time to address the problem before we reap the consequences, whether storms flooding Portland, catastrophic impacts on fisheries or just the end of Maine's sledding season.
Whatever the costs of ending our dependence on fossil fuels, it's worth paying them now, rather than suffering the greater costs brought by climate change. Moreover, switching will also bring benefits, including jobs from new, Maine-based fuel and electricity.
So on one level, I agree with Mr. Rappaport. We need to start using less energy. We also need to explore alternative sources, from solar panels on our roofs, to synthetic alternatives to gasoline, to returning to wood as a primary heating fuel.
But long-term, we must wean ourselves off oil, and not start using an energy source as inefficient as tar sands. So while the issue is larger than just the pipeline, this "piecemeal" local fight is one way Maine can and should do its part.

Bienvenue! (Welcome!)
Thanks for visiting. This website has been developed to give you the opportunity to take a virtual tour of Lafreniere Park, view the updated Master Plan and learn about the park's history, its attributes and the impact this most serene and beautiful green space has made to the local community.
As you will see, there is something for everybody. From the walking trail to the athletic fields, play areas for kids and picnic venues, the park, in the heart of a bustling metropolitan area, offers a relaxing atmosphere and a tranquility that only its natural setting can offer.
Be sure to visit your park so that you will be able to personally see all that it has to offer.
Follow Us on Facebook for frequent updates on what's going on at Lafreniere Park!
A Welcome Tranquil Respite in the Heart of Jefferson ParishWhat was once one of the last pieces of large undeveloped acreage in East Jefferson, Lafreniere Park has blossomed into a lush, thriving natural green space. With careful planning and vigilant nurturing for over three decades, the park now sports open green spaces, multiple use lawns, fountains, family picnic areas, hills, landscaped gardens, fishing, tot-lots, paths, trails, man-made ecological marsh environment, a championship Frisbee golf course, carousel, soccer, a conference center, and dog park. The children's spray park is temporally closed.
Young and old, athletic and those just looking for a relaxing time out from their hectic daily routines, all have come to enjoy what the park has to offer. The sporting fields are used for practices, games and tournaments and the 2-mile jogging trail is popular for cardio vascular exercise, physical fitness and general recreation.
The marshes and gardens offer educators a wealth of native plant life to use as an aid for teaching students; the open spaces and family picnic areas are enjoyed by all. The conference center has become a meeting place for many garden, homemaker and civic clubs. The park also hosts annual parish celebrations and fire work displays.
As the original consultants wrote in 1975, "The concept of the park bespeaks its broad appeal. Conceived as a green, open space "…it will allow all the people of the Parish to rest and refresh their spirit in its peaceful, natural surroundings." (Page 10, Master Plan)

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On the heels of a tragic accident that left Cirque du Soleil performer Sarah Guillot-Guyard dead after a fall during the shows finale, on Monday evening "Piers Morgan Live" invited Nik Wallenda to share his professional insight.
Almost exactly one week prior to the accident at a Las Vegas casino, Wallenda – himself a daredevil tightrope-walker – covered a quarter mile trek, 15000 feet high above the Grand Canyon, praying every step of the way.
Speaking live with Piers Morgan, the seventh-generation member of The Flying Wallendas family reaffirmed the risk associated with his – and Guillot-Guyard's – chosen profession:
"It is dangerous what we do for sure," he admitted. "This sad loss of life is just proof of that."
In 1978, Wallenda's 73-year-old grandfather Karl Wallenda perished when he lost his balance and fell 121 feet to his death in Puerto Rico. More than three decades later, Nik continues the family tradition, which is rooted in practice, and preparation. As such, he said, he was entirely comfortable attempting his canyon walk:
"I've trained my entire life since I was two to actually go down and grab that wire. If there were any issues while crossing the Grand Canyon, that wire is always a safe haven, it's always at my feet, and gravity's always going to pull me down," he told the host. "We knew the winds weren't going to be strong enough to pick me up and blow me off that wire. And I would have went down and held on. I have rescue teams standing by."
Watch the clip for more of Morgan's interview with Wallenda, and for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Twitter
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Instagram
She was hanging from a wire with a harness in mid-air and not on a tight-rope, as Mr Wallenda was. The last comment he makes is a bit irrelevant to the story of the Cirque performer's death since she had nothing to grab onto.
"covered a quarter mile trek, 15000 feet high above the Grand Canyon" ? No it was 1500 feet CNN!
Everything was great, thanks.

Cirque du Soleil accident is so sad "It is dangerous what they do for sure...this sad loss of life is just proof of that. I wish the family the best. I hope the show goes on. I think we she would have wanted it that way.
God Bless!
They know the risks involved! They love what they do.

In my previous "Marriage Without Monogamy" post, which you might want to take a look at now before reading further, I decided it might be interesting to temporarily steer away from the confessional-style essay this column has become known for. I just wasn't in the appropriate mood, I guess, to work through yet another one of my unconventional relationship issues on paper. And yet judging from some of the very blunt comments this column has inspired in months past, I figured that at least some of my regular readers might be willing to share a few unconventional issues of their own. Perhaps not surprisingly, I was right. The day after my call for questions was posted online, I received an email from a woman I'll call "Karen".
Karen's question was deceivingly complex. That is, it seemed simple enough on the surface. As Karen explained, she's happily married to a man, although she happens to be bisexual. She went on to explain that her best friend, a woman, is interested in sleeping with her. Karen's husband, however, doesn't like that idea one bit—but Karen claims that's only because he knows he won't be invited to play along. You see, according to Karen, her husband is significantly overweight, and so the best friend isn't attracted to him. He's so overweight, in fact, that hardly any women are attracted to him. And that puts Karen in a bit of a bind, because unless her hubby gets his hands on a piece of the proverbial action, she isn't allowed to have sex with other women. And that includes the best friend.
Sounds pretty cut-and-dry, right?
But as I read through Karen's email a second time, and then a third, I noticed a certain passive aggressive sentiment that was hidden between the lines. For instance, Karen seemed to be singing her rotund husband's praises in one sentence, but then cutting him down in an understated, subtle sort of way in the next. It didn't take long for me to realize that I was dealing with a Classic Female Communication issue. In other words, Karen was clearly saying one thing, but insinuating something entirely different.
I read the message another time or two before finally admitting that I was no match against the cunning shrewdness of the complicated female mind. So I sent Karen's email to my fiancé, Carrie Ann, and I asked for her help. I told her to look it over, and to give me her thoughts. I wasn't the least bit surprised after reading Carrie's full report—she had clearly seen Karen's gobbledegook girl talk for what it really was: a steaming pile of straight-up bullshit.
In the end, we decided to join together the best quotes from our conversation. Go ahead and look through Karen's email yourself, or simply scroll down to find out what Carrie and I had to say. (By the way, "Karen's" letter was edited for clarity.)

RE: Ask a Non-Monogamist
Date: 7/08/08 12:57 PM
I have a few questions about pursuing this "adventure." My husband and I have been together ten years, married for 3.5. Great sex life, by the way. Here's my story:
I was bisexual when I met my husband. He loved the idea at first, but then it got personal—he was only ok with it as long as he was involved. The girl I was with at the time is my best friend to this day. She's married, by the way, and her husband doesn't know about her past with me. She wants to get back together, but she doesn't want my husband involved. I don't want to do it behind his back, because I wouldn't want him doing it behind my back. We had a threesome about seven years ago with the same girl – my best friend. My husband was jealous that I liked being with her more than with him. I loved both!
Recently, we've been getting back into the discussion of not necessarily opening the relationship, but having another threesome. Because he and I are only ok with it as long as we're both involved—every time.
I'm ok if it just happens unplanned, and spontaneously. But my husband is set on "planning and finding someone," which is really hard to do. Most of the people who are into it only want me involved. He's a pretty big guy, so most girls find him unattractive. I love him for who he is, and his size doesn't bother me. My problem is this: How do I relay that information to him without crushing his feelings? Should I not say anything at all?
He's always wanting to go to strip clubs in order to "find" someone, but I don't like the thought of having a stripper come home with us. Not clean, not smart, and I'm not comfortable with it, either. Any suggestions? I want it as bad as he does. I just don't want to pursue it the way he does.

ESA's YouTube spotlights GOCE
In the run-up to the launch of the GOCE satellite on 16 March 2009, ESA's YouTube channel is highlighting the mission with a series of videos.
ESA's gravity mission GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) demonstrates Europe's excellence in both engineering and science through the realisation of one of the most challenging space missions to date.
Throughout the month of March, one playlist containing several video clips will be published per week on ESA's YouTube channel to present the mission to the general public. The videos will focus on the importance of mapping Earth's gravity field, the construction of the spacecraft and the highlights of the launch.

After weeks of speculation, Facebook has finally unveiled its new brand pages as we discussed earlier today.
Here's a further look through some of the most notable changes in more detail including the loss of landing tabs, and what it means to you and your business.
Cover photo
As expected Facebook has added cover photos to brand Page Timelines. A cover photo is 850 by 315 pixels.
Facebook has stated that cover images must not contain:
- Price or purchase information, such as "40% off" or "Download it at our website".
- Contact information, such as web address, email, mailing address or other information intended for your Page's About section.
- References to user interface elements, such as Like or Share, or any other Facebook site features.
- Calls to action, such as "Get it now" or "Tell your friends".
Default landing tabs
We have been searching for news about the default landing tab and what we found this:
For Pages with timelines, people will always see the timeline view of your Page when they visit it. Views and apps are now easy to find right below your Page's cover. You can't change the default landing view to another view or app, but you can link people directly to a particular view or app on your Page. Find the URL for a view or app on your Page in the web address bar of your browser when you visit that view or app."
This has come directly from the Facebook Help Centre. This is a very interesting and bold move from Facebook and we think this will definitely cause a stir in the coming days.
Views and apps
This new area of a brand Page is known as 'Views and Apps'. This area makes it easier for visitors to your Page to navigate to other areas of the brand's Timeline.
The default view will only ever show four apps, and photos can never be removed from this section. The other three will be able to moved around in any order. There is a drop-down menu of all other tabs or apps, incase you have more than three.
Tip: If you have custom built apps you will be able to add a custom thumbnail image (107 x 70 pixels).
Two widths for tabs
When creating tabs you now have the option for two widths, one is a narrow width of 520px or you can opt for a wider width and have 810 pixels.
In our opinion, the main benefits of the wider 810px wide frame is that there is now more real estate for apps.
Brand mentions more prominent
We have noticed that some people are writing status updates without @mentioning brands and they have begun appearing on the walls.
This is great for brands because you can now target more people, with ads, who have an "affinity" with your brand. What we have also noticed is that by default, only posts most relevant to you (by a friend) as shown at the top of the Timeline, whilst all other irrelevant comments are relegated to a 'Ticker' unless they're highlighted by the Page admins.
What we are unsure about is whether or not brands are having to pay this privilege.
Choosing what posts to see
In the centre (at the top) of a brand Timeline there is now a drop down menu which gives you four options to show posts by the following:
- Highlights.
- Friend activity.
- Post by page.
- Posts by others.
Admin verification
Admin verification is nothing new, but admins were only required to do so once they had reached a certain number of fans. Now you can choose to verify your brand's admins at any time.
Tip: Admins may require an email address related to the brand in order to be verified.
Facebook ads
It is now even easier to set up ads for your brand Page. There are two ways of doing this, the first can be done through clicking on the 'Cog' under the cover photo or next to the message button.
This will create a drop down menu and now click on 'Promote with an advert'. The second way to promote your Page with an ad is by clicking on 'Admin Panel' -> 'Build Audience' -> 'Create an Ad'.
Weekly Pinned Posts
Each week, you can feature one post at the top of your Timeline, so it will be one of the first thing that your visitors see when they visit your Page.
To pin a story at the top of the Page, hover-over the pencil icon at the top right hand corner of any post and select 'Pin to Top'. If you change your mind you can unpin a post at any time, this will return it to its normal place on the Timeline.
A pinned post will stay at the top of your Timeline for seven days.
Private messages to brands
The new 'Message' button helps your brand have one-on-one conversations with your audience. We think this is the start of Facebook competing with off-line customer service.
The 'Message' button will add a whole new dimension on how you can interact with your audience and customer complaints.
To highlight an important moment that your brand has had, create a milestone. To do this click 'Milestone' in the composer bar. Milestones are a great way to highlight the most important moments that define your organisations.
If you are still unsure about these changes visit Learn Facebook Pages for a walkthrough video.

China Retorts: "There Will Be No Second Shot"
Zero Hedge
Jan 21, 2013
A week ago we reported that following what China said was a response to counter "Japanese military aircraft disrupting the routine patrols of Chinese administrative aircraft" over the East China Sea, the world's most populous country (and one which has the largest, 2.25 million strong, standing army) scrambled several jets and put its military on high alert. Now, it is the turn of Japan, and its brand new militant and nationalistic government, to "retaliate" and escalate tensions by one more notch, in the process crashing any hope that Chinese imports of Japanese goods may resume, and obviating the ongoing temporary plunge in the yen (which while doing nothing to boost exports to this 20% trading partner, has made imports so expensive, inflation in the past two months has already soared well above the 2% target for various key goods as previously reported).
Moments ago, Japan says it may fire warning shots and take other measures to keep foreign aircraft from violating its airspace in the latest verbal blast between Tokyo and Beijing that raises concerns that a dispute over hotly contested islands could spin out of control.
Japanese officials made the comments after Chinese fighters tailed its warplanes near the islands recently. The incident is believed to be the first scrambling of Chinese fighters since the tensions began to rise last spring.
According to Chinese media, a pair of J-10 fighters was scrambled after Japanese F-15s began tailing a Chinese surveillance plane near the disputed islands in the East China Sea. China has complained the surveillance flight did not violate Japanese airspace and the F-15s were harassing it.
It was the first time the Chinese media has reported fighters being mobilized to respond to Japanese air force activity in the area and comes amid what Japan says is a rapid intensification of Chinese air force activity around the islands, where Japanese and Chinese coast guard ships have squared off for months.
Perhaps it may surprise Japan, but "China's reaction" will hardly be one of a dog retreating with its tail between its legs. In fact, it will likely be quite the opposite.
And the fact that the US has once again stepped in, and is once again on the side of the party that started this whole escalation fiasco (that would be Japan for those who have forgotten), will not help:
"Japan's desire to fire tracer warning shots as a way of frightening the Chinese is nothing but a joke that shows the stupidity, cruelty and failure to understand their own limitations," Maj. Gen. Peng Guangqian of the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences was quoted as saying by the China News Service and other state media.
"Firing tracer bullets is a type of provocation; it's firing the first shot," he said. "Were Japan to dare to fire tracers, which is to say fire the first shot, then China wouldn't stint on responding and not allow them to fire the second shot."
Sounds like a catalyst to double down and buy every ES contract in sight: just think of the GDP boost and appropriate fiscal multiplier once Japan is levelled.

On taxes, deficits, interest rates and the economy, Greg Valliere, chief strategist at Potomac Research Group, is clear: The U.S. is experiencing a "self-sustaining recovery, mediocre at best," but one that will give the U.S. a 2% GDP growth rate for the rest of the year. No immediate inflation threat looms, he says, but uncertainty over crucial tax issues like the Bush tax cuts, the AMT fix and the estate tax will linger until mid-December.
On entitlement issues, Valliere (left) is just as clear: "There's a chance for Social Security reform in the next year or so," and Obama's health insurance law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, will be overturned by the Supreme Court.
The "increasingly dark cloud" overhead is whether Congress will extend the Bush tax cuts, Valliere told attendees on Tuesday at the Investment Management Consultant Association's (IMCA) annual conference in National Harbor, Md., just outside Washington. "This is going to be a ferocious fight," he said. Deciding whether to extend the Bush tax cuts will be just one of four critical issues that Congress will have 20 days to grapple with during what Valliere called one of the "most significant" lame duck sessions after the November elections.
The other three issues Congress must resolve are tax extenders like the Alternative Minimum Tax fix; the potential cuts to defense under the sequestration that's set to kick in because the deficit committee failed to reach an agreement; and come December, the return of the debt ceiling fight.
Said Valliere: "I cannot see the estate tax going back to $1 million, and I cannot see the dividend tax going from 15% to ordinary income."
After "dozens" of talks with those on Capitol Hill, Valliere said that "nobody knows for sure what's going to happen—that's very uncertain for the markets." What Congress will likely do, he predicts, is "extend everything until March 31, and then we'll have to go through this all again."
While some have argued that "we need an election to give a resolution to these issues," Valliere continued, "I would argue that the gridlock could get more intense after the election," because, for one reason, President Obama is the "narrow favorite" to win the election, "but there's a good chance the next Congress will be more conservative than this one."
The House, he said, will retain its Republican majority after the election, and the looming issue in the Senate is that 33 seats are up for grabs, and of the 23 of those held by Democrats, "10 look very vulnerable."
As for interest rates, Valliere said he's convinced the Fed will keep interest rates near zero for some time. "This is the most accommodative Fed in my entire career," he said. And, he predicted, the Fed has not abandoned the idea of QE3.
In the geopolitical realm, Valliere said the markets would have to worry about Europe, Israel and Iran.

Our food choices have a direct effect on the health of our environment and those who grow and harvest what we eat. That's why food labeled organic is the right choice. In addition to serious health questions linked to actual residues of toxic pesticides on the food we eat, our food buying decisions support or reject hazardous agricultural practices, protection of farmworkers and farm families, and stewardship of the earth.
It is important to eat organic food –nurtured in a system of food production, handling and certification that rejects hazardous synthetic chemicals. USDA organic certification is the only system of food labeling that is subject to independent public review and oversight, assuring consumers that toxic, synthetic pesticides used in conventional agriculture are replaced by management practices focused on soil biology, biodiversity, and plant health. This eliminates commonly used toxic chemicals in the production and processing of food that is not labeled organic--pesticides that contaminate our water and air, hurt biodiversity, harm farmworkers, and kill bees, birds, fish and other wildlife.
To help explain the urgent need for a major shift to organic food consumption, Beyond Pesticides has begun the Eating with a Conscience database which evaluates the impacts on the environment and farmworkers of the toxic chemicals allowed for use on major food crops, grown domestically and internationally. We have started with those foods that have been identified widely in the media as "clean." While the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen lists generated by Environmental Working Group is helpful in alerting consumers to hazardous residues on food, food residues are only part of the story. It turns out that those very same "clean" food commodities may be grown with hazardous pesticides that get into waterways and groundwater, contaminate nearby communities, poison farmworkers, and kill wildlife, while not all showing up at detectable levels on our food.
Eating with a Conscience looks at the toxic chemicals that are allowed in the production of the food we eat and the environmental and public health effects resulting from their use.

Author Neil Daniels Releases Fan Handbook "Judas Priest – British Steel"
Neil Daniels has written another great book. This book, "Judas Priest – British Steel," is the second in the series on 'landmark' rock albums and documents Judas Priest's seminal 1980 pivotal album release British Steel.
Judas Priest's sixth studio album has rightly earned its place as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time. It comfortably – perhaps too comfortably for some fans' tastes – sits between Priest's harder-edged heavy metal of the seventies with their far more commercial albums of the eighties. Sure, it is a world away from the likes of Killing Machine and it's not as pop-orientated as, say Defenders Of The Faith and certainly not Turbo, but it set the benchmark for the kind of metal that was to become popular in the decade of its birth.
From the furious opening track 'Rapid Fire' (had the twin-guitar attack of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton sounded better?) to the blistering closing song 'Steeler', British Steel is a monster of an album; adrenalin fuelled and endlessly listenable. While not every track is the perfect Priest song, it is a hugely infectious piece of work that represents the Mighty Priest in near perfect style. But despite its impact it is not their best album yet it is undoubtedly their most popular.
Not only has British Steel gone on to become a cherished item amongst ardent metal supporters but it inspired a whole generation of metal bands, notably, the American thrash metal bands of the eighties such as Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer and later, Annihilator and Pantera. Even the name 'British Steel' conjures up the working class sounds of classic British heavy metal.
British Steel is quite simply, genre-defining. This fans hand-book, will tell you why.
Foreword by Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal.

Around the world in 80 telescopes at ESA
On 3 April, ESA astronomers will take part in 'Around the world in 80 telescopes', a unique live webcast which will be part of the '100 Hours of Astronomy' cornerstone project for the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Viewers will have a peek into ESA's XMM-Newton and Integral satellite control rooms in Spain.
The General Assembly of the United Nations has declared 2009 as the 'International Year of Astronomy' (IYA 2009). This global programme was initiated by the International Astronomical Union and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization with the aim of helping the citizens of the world to rediscover their place in the Universe by reconnecting to the day- and night-sky. 100 Hours of Astronomy is a cornerstone project for IYA 2009.
'Around the World in 80 Telescopes' is a live 24-hour video webcast that begins on 3 April at 11:00 CEST. It will take viewers to some of the most advanced ground- and space-based observatories around the world and off the planet.
Viewers can watch what's on at an observatory in their home country or on the other side of the planet, send in questions and messages, see new images from the cosmos, and discover what astronomers are up to at that very moment.
The webcast is organised by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The ESA segment will be hosted at at ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre in Spain. It will provide viewers with an insight into two space observatories, XMM-Newton and Integral, an opportunity to meet astronomers working on these missions, a sneak preview at a pretty new XMM-Newton image of Messier 82, and a chance to participate in a student competition using data from the Integral satellite.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain of chest hair — or the Neilsen ratings, for that matter — The X Factor is the biggest singing competition in the world!
It's got its own season-finale red carpet filled with teenagers who will keep screaming in the hopes that they'll achieve their lifelong dreams of seeing their own faces on network television and a bunch of production assistants dressed up to look like paparazzi.
Paid spokespersons Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez feed you a heightened and interminable stream of verbal signals to reinforce the message. There's Mario, in the same voice he'd use to announce the arrival of the next ad break or the Mayan apocalypse, informing us that one finalist "will be named the winner of The X Factor and walk away with a five-million dollar recording contract and a whole new life!" (Uh-oh, if Tate Stevens wins, what does that mean for his devoted wife and sweet children?)
PHOTOS | The X Factor: The Inside Story on Season 2′s Wildest Production Numbers
There's even a special Twitter hashtag to celebrate the occasion: #OMGXFFinale!
Yes, reality TV fans, The X Factor is so hugely important that at this very moment (and as the opening credits like to remind you), it is hurtling toward the surface of the planet like a glowing X-shaped asteroid, ready to unleash an earthquake that measures One Direction on the Richter scale.
So since we may not have much time left to live, shall we get to the results?
Third place: Fifth Harmony (Anything could happen, but unfortunately it did not. However, we'll always have "Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh-oo-ooh!")
Second place: Carly Rose Sonenclar (Cue Britney's cold hand, slipping off her protege's shoulder. "Get yourself to the X Factor house, pack your belongings, and go…home," she hisses, somewhere in my imagination.)
Winner of Season 2: Tate Stevens! (apparently they weren't making up the X Factor Leaderboard results all season!)
Is it weird that the act with quite possibly the least amount of the show's titular mojo — the guy from the dreaded Over 25s that L.A. Reid did not want to mentor — took home the big prize? Yeah, maybe a little — especially when you consider that he was essentially the same artist coming into the competition as the one who got his confetti shower tonight. (Okay, maybe he's got a little more stage presence, but that's about it…)
On some level, though, Tate's win says a lot about what Americans look for in a reality singing competition. They don't care so much if aerialists hang from the ceiling or confetti rockets explode in the foreground: First and foremost, they want to vote for someone who sings well and doesn't need Auto-Tune (major labels give us enough of the computer-dependant nowadays), who seems like a nice person, and who might not be otherwise have a chance to get signed to a major deal. Add in a compelling (but not overly maudlin) backstory — Tate worked hard and postponed his dreams for his family! — and you've got yourself an almost unbeatable combo.
No, Tate isn't really "current," but current's just another word for "Ke$ha," isn't it? And while it seems highly unlikely that the dude will end up being as big as Garth Brooks or Kenny Chesney or even Rascal Flatts, I suspect he'll do well enough on the charts in 2013 that X Factor can tout his win without any embarrassment when it returns for Season 3 next fall.
Anyhow, let's turn our attention to the evening's seven performances* — a lineup that seemed completely oblivious to the fact that plenty of genuinely talented people were initially part of the Season 2 Top 16. Why we didn't get at least a few seconds of Lyric 145 or a group performance from Demi's trio of divas or a simple Beatrice Miller or Sister C sighting is as mysterious to me as Simon Cowell's failure to use the buttons on his shirt or Khloe Kardashian ODOM (her emphasis, not mine) donned a black rubber minidress for the midsection of the show. (*The Voice had 13 musical performances on Monday in the same two-hour span.)
* Tate, Carly and Fifth Harmony: The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" | Maybe it was a sign from the Mayans when Mario introduced this performance only to discover none of the Top 3 acts' "limos" had pulled up to the show's "red carpet." Alas, though, everyone eventually disembarked like they were musical Bachelor contestants, then strolled into the arena, through the X Factor backstage and past a number of fallen Season 2 comrades. (Anyone wonder if the segment was shot Wednesday night, since Paige, CeCe et al were in their white "You Are Not Alone" frocks?) The only problem was that the audio being piped through our TV sets sounded as genuine as L.A.'s cowboy hat. I mean, only on X Factor could you find seven inarguably solid vocalists opening the show sounding like their vocal cords had been replaced by Siri. Grade: D
* Tate: "Please Come Home for Christmas" | If Carly Rose is a skyscraper and Fifth Harmony is a fairy princess castle, then Tate is a red brick house: Solid, inviting, though not terribly remarkable. This performance fit that mold to a tee. When he was done, Khloe and Mario rolled a montage of Tate's family and friends offering their love and support, each one designed to push him closer to the brink of bawling. I'm surprised, though, that the Kardashian woman didn't lead the audience in a chant of "Make! Tate! Cry!" That would've really capped her first (hopefully last?) season quite nicely. Mario, for his part, got more familiar than he should've: "Good luck to you, Tater." Stick with your cue cards, foolio! Grade: B
* Fifth Harmony: "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" | I'm not ruling out Stockholm Syndrome, but I swear Fifth Harmony has gotten progressively better every week on this show. Their voices were sweet and clear as ever on this Darlene Love romp, with Dinah Jane daringly delivering her verse in her head voice and ending with a classic case of Mariah Dog Whistle (TM). The staging was great, too, with white carousel horses and candy canes, though Ally should lose the red paper umbrella stat: We have already accepted Camilla's ridiculous floppy bow, but one ridic accessory is plenty, thanks. Mario, anything you'd like to say? "You're such a special group of ladies!" Yes, but could you name all five of them without a teleprompter? Grade: B+
* Carly Rose: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" | Maybe it was just nerves over the final results, but I've never heard the teen angel's voice sound so tentative and tremulous, which meant there was no way she could live up to Mariah's original template. Those waaayyy-too-enthusiastic tin soldiers didn't help matters, either. (Side note: I know she's 13, and she probably feels the need to be extra respectful to Simon, Britney & Co., but it freaked me out a little when Carly Rose made it seem like watching her family video reel was all the more emotional because the Season 2 judges were right in front of her. Yikes!) Grade: B-
* Pitbull: "Don't Stop the Party" | I could only understand about a third of what dude was saying, but that "yeah-ee-yeah-ee-yeah!" hook is crazy addictive, and his silver-clad hoochie dancers braaaaang it! Grade: A+? F-? I honestly have no idea.
* One Direction "Kiss You" | How come everybody thinks the one with all the hair dating Taylor Swift is so hot, when clearly the one with the buzz cut is the cute one? Here's hoping the boys transferred some of their third-place success mojo to the gals of Fifth Harmony in the midst of their video-game backdrop/giant lips set piece, which was a cute little trifle indeed. Grade: These children have a lot of energy!
* Carly Rose and Tate: "The Climb" | Given that they were only moments away from the final results, I'm gonna give these two a pass for sounding mildly jank. Honestly, though, did the producers really need to put them on a set of stairs to sing "The Climb"? NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE SO LITERAL! And seeing how America decided these were the two voices they liked best all season, WHY DROWN THEM OUT WITH A GOSPEL CHOIR ON STEROIDS?
Top 10 Moments of Beautiful Absurdity from the X Factor Finale
10. Khloe's three outfit changes: Green lace; black rubber (!!); and expired Pepto Bismol/fresh vom.
9. Khloe, in a last-ditch attempt to hold on to her job next season, greeting Simon Cowell on the red carpet thusly: "I love the chest hair! So sexy, the chest hair!" [Cut to my hubby on the couch: "Is she being funny?" Sadly, no.]
8. The judges — having already been introduced minutes prior during the fake limo segment — making a grand entrance on the stage to the strains of "The Final Countdown." Imagine my disappointment when we didn't get a magic show from Gob.
7. This hashtag: #TateMakesItSnow
6. Khloe, trying to get L.A. to pay attention to her and answer a question after Tate's victory announcement by screeching, "L.A.! L.A.! L.A.!" (You can't teach that kind of masterful hosting technique…you just have to be born with it.)
5. Camilla from Fifth Harmony, one of many people unable to hear Khloe over the shrieking audience, yelling "WHAT!?!?" while Khloe attempted to make the case that while Fifth Harmony may have had to settle for third place, they'd made "best friends for life."
4. Blondie from Emblem3 randomly inviting all of his fellow finalists from Season 2 to rent a cabin at Whistler together and go snowboarding. Duuuuuuude!
3. L.A. Reid, reflecting on an entire season's worth of musical performances and deciding that his No. 1 favorite moment was when Tate Stevens joked before his audition that his genre is rap music.
2. Khloe Kardashian-OHH-Dumb responding to Mario's impromptu use of Spanish by exclaiming, "Oh my goodness!" [Yes, Khloe, there are other languages on the planet aside from Kardahanese.]
1. Mario Lopez, reacting to a highlight reel of Simon's nastiest critiques, and acting like this one might be a double entendre: "I want to know what a dog that's trying to lay an egg sounds like! But that's for another day." [COULD HE BE ANY WORSE?]
With that, I turn it over to you.
Anyhow, now it's time for your take: Did the right contestant take home the big enchilada? What was your favorite results-night performance? Are you pissed we didn't get to see Lyric Da Queen perform? Sound off below, and for all my X Factor-related news, contestant interviews, recaps and video, follow me on Twitter @MichaelSlezakTV!

The philanthropic and nonprofit sector is likely to come under close scrutiny in the next Congress through tax reform, in an environment that makes it hard for nonprofits to get their voices heard.
A study released last week by Independent Sector examines the approaches and strategies that shape consistently successful efforts by organizations currently engaged in sector-wide advocacy, and how well these have performed.
Independent Sector—a nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition of more than 600 charities, foundations and corporate philanthropy programs—based its report on three surveys, three case studies, four coalition profiles and upward of 100 interviews.
It identified these five essential approaches of a successful advocacy framework:
- Sustain a laserlike focus on long-term goals. "Little can be accomplished in a year unless there are either extenuating circumstances (such as a pressing national crisis) or if years of advance planning have already taken place and a serendipitous opportunity is seized," the report says.
- Prioritize building the infrastructure for an effective advocacy campaign. "Successful advocates constantly invest in relationships with public officials, deepening their understanding of the issues and of the legislative process," the group says.
- Allocate resources based on answering the question: What activity is most likely to motivate this particular public official?
- Galvanize coalitions to achieve short-term goals. "When coalitions were successful," said the report, "they tended to form around a specific issue at a given moment in time and disband once their goal had been achieved or retool for the next issue."
- Ensure strong, high-integrity leadership. "The most important role of leadership is to master the art of (the political) process," the report says.
Insights provided by the case studies of Human Rights Campaign, Americans for Tax Reform and General Electric showed how these organizations had been successful over time in attaining their public policy agenda. Each had had an effective long-term goal, often with a 20- to 25-year time horizon, and had worked backward to shape its strategy.
The second part of the study examined the sector's track record and approach to public policy advocacy on sector-wide issues—such as tax issues related to nonprofit tax exemptions or charitable tax deductions.
It found notable gaps between the sector's strategies and those of the organizations that consistently achieved their public policy goals. The study analyzed in depth six of the 50 sector-wide issues identified, including tax-related matters, rules governing lobbying and government-nonprofit contracting.
The recommendations included in the report of how the sector as a whole might improve its practices draw from the essential approaches of successful advocacy.

Serious Chocolate: Fancy S'mores
Get the Recipe
Sure, you can toast the marshmallows over a crackling indoor fireplace when it's cold outside; but for me, you can't beat a summer night, a whittled stick to put the 'mallows on, and a comfy log to sit on while you cook them. There's something about the earthy scent of the outdoors, a light breeze, the colors of the sunset...
Before I start waxing poetic, let me make a few logistical points. There will always be a place in my heart for the standard grocery-store s'mores components; Jet-Puffed, Hershey's, and HoneyMaid should be part of every kid's s'mores experience. But let's think about making them grown-up for a moment. How about homemade marshmallows and graham crackers, and a really high-quality chocolate?
As far as chocolate goes, there's no need to get all spendy on the super-handmade stuff (though of course you're more than welcome to). Scharffen Berger is always my go-to for a nice snacking chocolate; and their milk chocolate has a nice deep flavor that works perfectly in s'mores. But your favorite eating chocolate should be just fine.
I also can't really do better than Smitten Kitchen's marshmallow recipe, either. I would suggest cooking the syrup a few degrees higher (243-245°F, perhaps), though, for these purposes; they normally set up nice and soft and fluffy, but you want a little more structure when you're toasting them.
In my opinion, it's the homemade grahams that really make this dessert. The crunch and texture really provide a solid base for everything else. If you somehow end up with leftovers, you can snack on them plain or crumble them over ice cream.
So make these homemade graham crackers and have a bougie S'more or two. I promise I won't tell your inner child.

- Way Klingler Faculty Development
Information about the 2021-2022 application guidelines for the three types of grants that are awarded to Marquette faculty as part of the Way Klingler Faculty Development Program will be available soon. The development program features a series of awards intended to advance research and scholarship and was made possible through an $18 million donation from Helen Way Klingler announced in May 2004.
Way Klingler Teaching Enhancement Award Fosters the development of effective and sustainable changes and innovations in teaching approaches within specific courses or clusters of courses. This annual award is given to a team of two or more faculty to develop, implement and evaluate a specific teaching project. One award of up to $20,000 will be given to the selected project team for one fiscal year. The award is competitive and will be selected by the Committee on Teaching. Each year, the provost and Committee on Teaching may identify a particular area of higher priority for projects that meet strategic academic goals to enhance teaching and learning at Marquette. The focus this year is on high-impact educational practices. Application deadline for submission is December 4, 2020.
Way Klingler Fellowship Given to full-time regular faculty at the associate or full professor rank with significant scholarship and higher potential. Faculty will be nominated by academic deans or self-nominated with dean endorsement. Based upon a recommendation from the selection committee, Way Klingler Fellowships will be awarded in two categories, labeled "science" or "humanities/social sciences." Science applicants are those with a track record of strong research funding whose research requires higher-expense items, such as, equipment, supplies and research staff. Typically, those from the natural sciences, engineering and biomedical science would address this category. Humanities/social science applicants are those with a national recognition for scholarship whose critical research requirements may be time, access to information and travel. Typically, those from the humanities, communication, business administration, education and many areas designated as social sciences would address this category. In some social science areas and disciplines such as nursing, it may be possible to address either category depending on the specific research focus. The selection of category is thus not one set by discipline but, rather, determined by the applicant. Two Way Klingler Fellowships will be awarded in 2021, one in each applicant-designated area of science or humanities/social sciences. The science fellow will receive $50,000 annually for three years, and the humanities fellow will receive $20,000 annually for three years. The fellows will be chosen by the Committee on Research. Application deadline for submission by the deans is TBD. (Check with your dean's office to confirm the college application deadline.) To provide the opportunity for as many faculty as possible to benefit from the Way Klingler Fellowship, the Committee on Research voted to restrict past recipients from being considered again until 10 years after their original award date.
Way Klingler Early Career Awards (formerly Young Scholar Awards) Supports promising scholars in critical early stages of their careers. Up to four awards will be given for 2021-2022 to full-time regular junior faculty in the three years following their third-year review. The awards are intended to fund $2,000 in operating costs and to cover a portion of salary to afford the recipient a one-semester release from teaching. Individuals will be selected by the Committee on Research. Application deadline for submission is TBD. (Check with your dean's office to confirm the college application deadline.)

Just in case you were wondering who this "Raf" geezer is, the other mainstay and co-manager of the site has decided to stop hiding his light under a bushel.
From today, "Neku" is no more. Raf now goes by his real name. So when you get an email from Raf at TMC - you'll know who that is!
(Note that while I've edited the database to change the name, all of the old posts which refer to "Neku" in the post body will still do so - changing over a year of history is too much like hard work).

I have hankered for some time after Cole and Son's 'Woods' wallpaper. So when I noticed on a local buying/selling site that someone had over-ordered some for her project, I snapped the excess up. I didn't have a room in mind for it, but the chance and price were too good to pass up. Nevertheless, it sat around for more than a year while we procrastinated about what room to put it in.
We finally got around to hanging it on the walls of our toddler's bedroom last month.
I loved it, but thought we could kiddie it up a bit by adding a few little friends. My two youngest boys and I released some squirrels to frolick in the trees…
Some nattering rabbits…
…and a family of hedgehogs out for a stroll.
The woodland animal wall decals are by Lauren Moriarty & Co. from Not on the High Street. You can buy them individually or as a pack of three and choose your animal and colour combinations. They are so easy to put up that my toddler managed it!
I like to think we've added a bit of fun and haven't defaced this iconic wallpaper. What do you think?
We've got a little wallpaper left over and I'm dying to recreate this downstairs-toilet-come-forest.

Article content
Model Karlie Kloss has enrolled in a class at the Harvard Business School.
The Victoria's Secret angel is now a part-time college student after taking a course, titled The Business of Media, Entertainment and Sports, at the prestigious university.
The 21 year old took to her Instagram account to post photos of herself on the Massachusetts campus, posing next to a statue of the school's founder, John Harvard.
She wrote, "I am very excited to be spending a few days here on the Harvard Campus in Cambridge for a class this week. I had to pay respect to Mr. John Harvard himself and rub his foot for good luck."
Kloss posted another picture at the library with her highlighted notes spread out on a desk, and added the caption, "Late night in the library."
The model has previously expressed interest in attending Harvard full-time, but is eager to focus on her career before earning a degree.
Incidentally, Kloss' boyfriend, Josh Kushner, is a Harvard graduate with both a bachelor's and master's degree.
She's not the first model with brains to study at Harvard – Tyra Banks is a former Business School student.
