Cluster Three: The Natural World
Scientific investigations into the natural world use analytical methods to evaluate evidence, build and test models based on that evidence, and develop theories. Mathematical studies of form and pattern can create a language that assists in these investigations. Courses in this cluster provide students with the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills in science and mathematics at the college level. Students will be introduced to a substantial body of scientific facts, concepts, models and theories, and they will also gain experience in using basic mathematics to obtain knowledge about the natural world. Each track is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, thereby demonstrating boundaries and connections among mathematics, the sciences and other aspects of culture.
Cluster Three: Track I and Track II
All students begin either Track I or Track II in Cluster Three during their first year and should complete it by the end of their sophomore year. Individual courses in the tracks satisfy requirements in a number of major and professional programs on campus. Students are encouraged to select appropriate courses in Cluster Three on the basis of their backgrounds, interests and educational objectives.
Track I
In this track, students take one course from each of three groups and are required to have at least one lab experience. Group 1 consists of mathematics courses, and Groups 2 and 3 consist of science courses. The groups may be taken in any order, except for courses denoted by an asterisk (*), which have a mathematics and/or science prerequisite or corequisite.

Cluster Three Learning Objectives
After completing Cluster Three: The Natural World, students should be able to meet the following objectives grouped under three learning goals:
- Describe the methods of inquiry that lead to mathematical truth and scientific knowledge and be able to distinguish science from pseudoscience.
- Use theories and models as unifying principles that help us understand natural phenomena and make predictions.
- Recognize the interdependence of applied research, basic research, and technology, and how they affect society.
- Illustrate the interdependence between developments in science and social and ethical issues.
- Use graphical, symbolic and numerical methods to analyze, organize and interpret natural phenomena.
- Discriminate between association and causation, and identify the types of evidence used to establish causation.
- Formulate hypotheses, identify relevant variables, and design experiments to test hypotheses.
- Evaluate the credibility, use, and misuse of scientific and mathematical information in scientific developments and public-policy issues.

John,Any tricks involved? I have popped one side loose, but just put my foot through the floor trying to pop the passenger side. Would the build sheet be in any specific area, or "somewhere" on the bottom of the seat? I can pull the drivers side up part way, and don't see anything there. I would love to know what I have.Thanks!Tom

One of the two biggest economic development prizes of recession-era Memphis has its formal opening Friday, April 19.
The Mitsubishi Electric Power Products Inc. plant is the company's first North American manufacturing plant for large power transformers, some weighing in excess of 400 tons.
The plant at 2865 Riverport Road took 18 months to build with the groundbreaking during the historic flooding along the Mississippi River in 2011.
The $200 million investment by Mitsubishi includes a 13-story testing hall at the end of the assembly line that comes with a 500-ton crane to lift the mammoth transformers onto rail cars on a line that runs directly into the structure.
The transformers and electrical equipment are so massive that they are too large for Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division to use for its needs, according to Ken Badaracco, Mitsubishi Memphis general manager.
The building on 97 acres has 307,000 square feet of manufacturing space and another 52,000 square feet of office space.
As of Friday's opening, 65 people are working full time at the plant. Mitsubishi executives intend to have 275 employees when the plant is at full capacity.
The other big economic prize, the Electrolux Memphis manufacturing plant, is expected to begin turning out ovens and ranges in May.
The $266 million plant in Frank C. Pidgeon Industrial Park, near the Mitsubishi facility, is expected to employ 1,200 people making several product lines of stoves and ovens.
Electrolux executives offered a tour of the plant in January just as the $60 million assembly line by Memphis-based Integrated Solutions was beginning to take shape.
The Electrolux plant opening is expected to be a phased-in operation that adds product lines over time.
The plant includes testing facilities for the stoves and ovens.

Tiger Woods will take questions from the media a day before he set to make his return to golf at the Masters in April, ESPN.com reported.
The news conference, announced in an interview schedule released by Augusta National, marks the first time in more than four months that the battered golfer will answer questions in front of a group of journalists in an open forum. Since admitting to several extra-marital affairs, Woods has only sat down for two short interviews.
Earlier Wednesday, golf legend Arnold Palmer said Woods needs to take questions until the media runs out of them.
"I suppose the best thing he could do would be open up and just let you guys shoot at him," Arnold Palmer told reporters Wednesday at Bay Hill in Orlando. "And that's just my thought."
The 80-year-old legend, who spoke to media including The Associated Press before the Arnold Palmer Invitational pro-am, was always known for his close bond with fans and easy manner with the press. Palmer said he wished Woods, who has won his tournament six times, was making his return from scandal there. But he said Woods told him personally of his decision to wait until next month's tourney at Augusta.
"He called me one evening and we had a conversation," Palmer said. "I wasn't in a position to hear him very well, so I asked him if he would call me the next morning just to confirm what he had said, and he did. And the situation was that he didn't feel his game was sharp enough to come and compete that soon, so he told me that he was not going to play. He would go to Augusta first."
Woods ducked out of sight for more than two months as a parade of women came forward to say they had trysts with him behind the back of his former Swedish model wife, Elin Nordegren. He resurfaced at a carefully-orchestrated press conference in February, copping to cheating on his wife, saying he was sorry and noting that he had been in some sort of treatment. Last weekend, he gave a pair of five minute interviews to handpicked reporters and apologized some more, but offered no real details about his personal turmoil.
Palmer said even if Woods won't face the media's glare, he will likely hear worse from hecklers, something the commander of Arnie's Army would not have relished in his day.
"It would probably bother me," Palmer said. "I'm a sensitive person by nature. I suppose if it happened often, I'd get used to it. But it's not something I would look forward to."

Kids with allergies need to be extra careful about what they are eating -- with the risk of severe allergic reactions at its peak period.
Most people indulge in treats during the holidays, but kids with allergies need to be extra careful about what they are eating as more nuts, shellfish and other common culprits for allergies appear around the home or at parties.
According to a national survey released this week, about 55 percent of children with severe allergies have experienced anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, during a winter holiday event. The rate rises to 70 percent of kids in urban areas. Harris Interactive conducted the survey, which included 300 parents of children with allergies.
Dr. Shih–Wen Huang, a pediatric allergist at the University of Florida and Shands, said doctor and emergency visits tend to increase between Halloween and New Year's.
"Without the food, we probably wouldn't call it the holidays. But the mix of foods increases the chance of anaphylaxis," Huang said.
Anaphylaxis occurs when the airway closes or blood pressure drops suddenly. It can be fatal without quick treatment.
"If kids have any sweating or itching before the severe form of the reaction, they ought to be examined immediately," said Huang.
Often allergic reactions are caused by baked goods containing peanuts and tree nuts, which include almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, walnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts. Shellfish — which include shrimp, crab, clams, scallops and lobster — also account for many allergic reactions.
"The only way to avoid anaphylaxis is by avoiding exposure to offending foods," Huang said, adding: "Mistakenly, people think that if you become allergic to something, that it has to be eaten through the mouth. But even contact through the skin of this food, or on the surface of a table where it's been, can cause a reaction."
Dr. Todd Mahr, chair of the Section of Allergy and Immunology of the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommends that parents and kids take preventive measures.
"RSVP ASAP; offer to bring safe food; go over the rules with your children; make sure you have meds with you," said Mahr. "Not being prepared is really not an option."
Mahr's son, now 21, has been allergic to peanuts, wheat and eggs since childhood. He grew up bringing his own food to holiday parties.
"We make cheese and meat roll-ups with toothpicks, so he looks like he's getting an appetizer, which is what holiday parties are really about," Mahr said, adding that this also relieves the party hostess of having to prepare special food for guests with allergies.
Other common recommendations include ensuring the party-throwers know about the kids' allergies and making sure kids have with them at all times their epinephrine, or EpiPen, which quickly helps stop allergic reactions.
But only about half the parents surveyed follow these recommendations, and parents can be especially resistant to using the EpiPen on their children, said Huang, who did a study several years ago and found that about 93 percent of parents didn't use the EpiPen properly.
"We know the parents don't like the needle," said Huang. "This is an ongoing education process, about when and how to do it to save their kids' lives."

Now that the kids are gearing up to go back to school, it's time to start thinking Lunch Box and after school snacks. It's hard to be creative some times and since eating is so important to ensure our kids are learning at school, I always try to make certain my son has stuff in his lunch that he loves. One of his favorite sandwiches is peanut butter and bacon and since that keeps so well without having to be refrigerated, he gets them at least once a week. Along those same lines, I decided to throw some crispy bacon into my Peanut Butter Cookies recipe to make him some Peanut Butter and Bacon Cookies for his snack after school.
Peanut Butter and Bacon Cookies
2 cups PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 pieces of cooked OSCAR MAYER THICK CUT Bacon
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees.
MIX PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter, sugar, brown sugar and eggs until combined in a bowl, usually about 2 minutes. Add in baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Finally, add in chopped bacon and mix thoroughly.
ROLL dough into small balls about 1 ½ inch. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper roughly 2 inches apart. Gently press down using the tines of a fork making a criss-cross pattern. Dip the fork in sugar to help keep it from sticking to the dough.
BAKE for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly brown. Cool on rack. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
It is important to start an afterschool ritual on day one to ease the hectic back-to-school stresses. Some children are wired to work and will come right home and do homework before getting free time, others will not and need to burn energy. Decide what works best for your child and stick with it. My son prefers a snack and play time when he gets home but then he is "too tired" to do homework, so we know that snack and homework work best first followed by playtime.

CD4043B types are quad cross-coupled 3-state CMOS NOR latches and the CD4044B types are quad cross-coupled 3-state CMOS NAND latches. Each latch has a separate Q output and individual SET and RESET inputs. The Q outputs are controlled by a common ENABLE input. A logic "1" or high on the ENABLE input connects the latch states to the Q outputs. A logic "0" or low on the ENABLE input disconnects the latch states from the Q outputs, resulting in an open circuit condition on the Q outputs. The open circuit feature allows common busing of the outputs.
The CD4043B and CD4044B types are supplied in 16-lead hermetic dual-in-line ceramic packages (F3A suffix), 16-lead dual-in-line plastic packages (E suffix), 16-lead small-outline package (D, DR, DT, DWR, and NSR suffixes), and 16-lead thin shrink small-outline packages (PW and PWR suffixes).

Moleskine partners with the Public Design Festival with a special edition Large Japanese Album celebrating public space and urban design.
The Moleskine Album, with its typical accordion pages, will be distributed to designers participating to the Festival. They will use it to document their stay in Milano during the Public Design Festival, with sketches and paintings. A collection of these works will be then presented on moleskine.com.
The Moleskine brand was born in 1997 inspired by the legendary notebook used by avant-garde artists and thinkers over the past two centuries, who shunning academia needed agile platforms for free creativity while in the streets, in cafés or travelling. Around the world many artists and illustrators use Moleskine notebooks to sketch from life in the public space.
The Moleskine Japanese album large offers a unique notebook design influenced by the traditional Japanese horizontal emakimono scrolls. Perfect for drawings, collages, and sequences, this book contains one sheet of heavy-weight sketch paper that is folded into 48 accordion pages.
The Public Design Festival is in Milan during the Salone del Mobile, from April 13th to April 18th 2010.

Chances and advice?
July 04, 2012, 01:00:10 PM »
Hey all. I have a BA in Econ from UConn--overall GPA 3.39, 3.8 major GPA--and a 165 in the bank. My problem is that I have some possibly significant blemishes on my transcript. (2 D+'s, one incomplete that turned to an F, a withdrawal, and a C+). I suppose I could come up with explanations, but will I have to for admission and/or funding at these schools: UConn, Brooklyn, Cardozo, Lewis & Clark? Any other schools to suggest? Thanks.

Before I say anything realize anything you read on this board or others comes from anonymous internet posters that know nothing about you, your situation, or what is best for you. So take everything you read on this board or others with a grain of salt including my post.
With that said here is some advice based on what I learned by going through law school. This might give me a scintilla of knowledge, but my post is more to help you think opposed to any concrete answer as to what to do.
FIRST ISSUE D+ and C+ CONCERNS:
To be honest if this is your biggest issue your doing alright. Schools don't really care about your major, a bad grade, they generally only care about your overall GPA. Although I have never sat in on admissions decision I know they receive 3,000 applications or more and likely do not go through each and every transcript in detail. They will see a 3.39 UGPA your Major GPA won't matter much. This is because the UGPA is what they report to LSAC & U.S. News and it is just easiest for them to look through.
I have known students who got DUI's, been arrested, and so forth and were still admitted to law school. I myself had one D and two W's on my undergrad transcript and it was not an issue. It is possible at some school it will be, but there are lot worse things to have than a few bad grades on your transcript.
Best place to look to what schools you have a shot at are LSAC of course and lawschoolnumbers.com. I think lawschoolnumbers.com is better, because you can see what scholarships people were awarded.
Once you see your options consider location, cost, and your personal feelings about the school above anything else.
It looks like you want to be in New York based on the majority of schools you have choosen. Hopefully, that is the case. Location is really more important than anything else at least in my opinion. Law school is 3 long years, you will make friends, get an apartment, start a relationship (if not in one already), and you will build roots wherever you attend school. If you already have roots in an area such as family, friends, etc in New York that is something to consider. Law school is a long journey and when you first graduate things don't go smooth. It takes a lot of time to build a legal career and when you graduate and are in BarBri sweating bullets about the outcome in your life it will be good to have friends and family around to support you.
I could belabor that point forever, but if you want to live in New York then go to law school in New York.
When I was in law school I did not a lot of mock trial competitions, and I visited a lot of schools when I was a OL. I have come to notice each place has a distinct culture to it. Whether you like that culture or not is highly personal there are number of schools I did not like and a number that I did. I had my own personal reasons for that and what I liked you have may have hated. So visit the schools you are interested in talk to professors, students, admins, and so forth and just see how YOU like it. I can assure you nobody knows better than yourself what you will enjoy. Not me, not U.S News, and not another anonymous internet poster that knows nothing about you. You may want to listen to parents, friends, etc that personally know you, but be wary of any anonymous internet poster telling you what is best for you.
Regardless of location, personal feelings, etc cost is a real concern. With your numbers you will have the option of getting a debt-free J.D. from a multitude of schools. Getting a free ABA J.D. is something to think about. However, be very wary of scholarship conditions if you choose that path.
This New York times article does a good job of explaining why.
. Just remember law schools are a business and if you get scholarship offers ask questions regarding conditions don't be like these students who just thought everything would be great. If your smart enough to get into law school you need to be smart enough to ask questions when someone is offering you 100,000.
The reality of legal education is that it is almost identical at every ABA school. Whether you attend Harvard or Gonzaga your first year will consist of torts, property, contracts, criminal law, civil procedure, LRW, Con Law or at least some variation on that. In Civ Pro you will read Pennoyer, In Contracts you will read Hadley v. Baxendale, Con-Law the Mud-Flap case, and Palsgraff in Torts. You will simply be reading Supreme Court cases and analyze them. This is what happens at every ABA school I am familiar with and these are the subjects on the MBE which is administered as part of the Bar in every state.
The above is true at every ABA school, but some schools specialize in certain areas. If you happen to know exactly what you want to do then look at the course schedules. If you want to be a litigator see how many mock trial teams the school fields, how many trial-ad courses they offer and so forth. If you want to do employment law if they offer multiple courses in that area. The electives do vary from school to school. It is not a critical factor in your legal education, but certainly something to think about if you actually know what you want to do.
If you don't know then join the club of the majority of OL's and even lawyers that don't really know what area of law they want to practice in. It is not a big deal if you don't know, but if you do then consider the options.
If all else fails in your decision take this into account, but do not make this a deciding factor. So many students make life altering choices based on this magazine and within the rankings themselves they tell you that each individual has their own choices and should utilize them in making them decision. Remember U.S. News is nothing more than a for-profit, unregulated, private magazine offering an opinion. It might have some merit, but not enough to make a life altering decision.
Case in point U.S. News does not rank law schools alone they rank nearly everything.
(They have stated Albuquerque New Mexico is one of the best places to live.) It makes me a little more interested in Albuquerque, but I am not going to move there or put it above Miami, New York, etc on my vacation list.
Point being if all else fails use consider the rankings, but don't let it be a primary reason for your decision it is a magazine nothing more.
These are just some factors to consider and things I have noticed after going through law school. I have good intentions, but it is possible everything I have said is 100% wrong. If I am then I have no repercussion and neither does any other anonymous internet poster.
So most important of all when choosing your law school and whether or not to attend at all remember it is 3 years of YOUR life, 100,000 or more of YOUR money, and YOUR legal career. Use your gut, your personal experiences, and your own situation when making this life altering decision.
Good luck to you whatever you end up deciding.

Foreign Languages & Literatures
In the ever-changing world, where contact with a variety of languages and peoples is both desirable and inevitable, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures strongly believes in the teaching of languages in their contexts as the means to overcome obstacles to intercultural and international contact and communication. Seven-eighths of the world's people do not speak English. Languages provide the keys for access to these other cultures and countries. At the same time, learning a foreign language helps grasp the nature, function, and social importance of one's own native tongue. Language learning, therefore, becomes the bridge between the peoples and cultures of the world.
Through language we penetrate from the mind and heart of one people to another, from one civilization to another, from the wisdom of one literature to that of another. By learning a foreign language, students become familiar with the literature, history, philosophy, art, and the economic and social conditions of the people who speak that language. The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures strives, by teaching foreign languages in their cultural contexts, to expose students to ways of thinking, different from their own, and to help them become better prepared to live in today's multi-linguistic, multi-cultural, and transnational world.
Students seeking certification in secondary education must fulfill the requirements for a French, German or Spanish major as well as specific courses required by the Education Department. Those students are strongly encouraged to take the Practicum Teaching Course.
Major(s): French Studies, German Studies, Spanish Studies
Minor(s): French Studies, German Studies, Spanish Studies

As word filtered out Thursday that David Letterman plans to retire next year, the race to replace the longest-running late night talk show host in television history went into immediate overdrive.
On the Internet and in an increasingly speculation-driven media, anyway. The usual suspects were quickly invoked to lead whatever CBS decides should replace the "Late Show with David Letterman."
There's Dave's buddy Craig Ferguson, host of the network's "Late Late Show" that's produced by Letterman's company, Worldwide Pants. That would be the smoothest, if maybe not the most exciting, transition, and would mirror the corporate synergy approach that so far has worked nicely with Jimmy Fallon's friendly takeover of "The Tonight Show" from Jay Leno earlier this year.
The victim of Leno's hostile, second takeover of "The Tonight Show," Conan O'Brien, would be an edgier choice, and his TBS contract runs out in late 2015 — "Woo" goes the Web.
If CBS wants to be even bolder, the E! Network's Chelsea Handler looks available. They'll probably have better luck getting her than Comedy Central's Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert, who are probably smart enough to know that their brands of political comedy won't survive the smoothing out a broadcast network would undoubtedly require.
And if we're talking someone that goes down easy, well, Leno isn't doing anything at the moment.
Of course, hiring the guy who beat him out for Johnny Carson's job back in the '90s would be a horrid way for CBS to kiss Letterman goodbye. More than that, it would be a dreadful betrayal of Dave's audience, and what the man did to genuinely change the late night TV landscape.
Along with such never-got-old bits as the "Top 10 List" and "Stupid Pet/Human Tricks," Letterman brought a provocative charge to the time period, which up until his arrival had been considered, quite naturally, a time for tranquilizing, softball entertainment.
Letterman broadened the boundaries of what could be said and shown in the wee hours, and — partly due to his sometimes prickly personality — what a host could get away with. While Leno and now Fallon followed the safer Carson/Jack Paar-established route of not shaking anybody up, O'Brien and especially Jimmy Kimmel were deeply influenced by Letterman's punkier example.
We wouldn't have Kimmel's hilarious fake feud with Matt Damon (and real one with Kanye West) without Letterman's conflicts with Cher, Oprah, Crispin Glover, his employers and others having proven that, yes, flashes of temper and mean-spiritedness can sometimes be well worth staying up late for.
Letterman was the late show host for the baby boom generation, and he embodied the rebelliousness and wised-up sarcasm that defined that age group. Leno, though three years younger, is a throwback to a generation of entertainers who just wanted to be loved by audiences, rather than admired for the consistency of their cleverness.
Sure, 32 years of the nightly grind has sometimes blunted Dave's sharp wit. He's gotten old as his core audience has grown sleepier, earlier, but if there was ever an aging comedian who rewarded repeat viewing, it was and still is Dave. He's never quite become completely stale or predictable, and he's kept firing the hope that danger still lurks inside him.
So, to jump on the speculation train of who will replace Dave (as if CBS hasn't been brainstorming this for years already and doesn't have possibilities in place), dare we dream it'll be some youngster with an even more subversive bent?
Is Patton Oswalt too funny looking? Hasn't stopped Conan (nor, for that matter, Dave). Sarah Silverman may have dated a late night host, but CBS could never tame her. Lena Dunham might work, but is she too indie and too embedded on the Masses Don't Get Her perception scale to be considered despite her evident gifts?
How about Aziz Ansari? Kevin Hart? And if you're looking for someone who's proven he can front a talk show, there's Steve Harvey, who might still be able to pull back from the mainstream brink and access his squirrelier, earlier comic capabilities.
Whomever CBS goes with, let's point out that Letterman's retirement offers the network an opportunity to do all of us out here a real solid. We've got a great venue for variety shows in Burbank that no one's been using since February, which would be perfect for "Late Show with To Be Announced," and they could probably get from a rival network for a song.
Just think, CBS, of how many more Beatles reunions you could shoot in that old Ed Sullivan Theater in New York. It'd be a win-win situation.

In the 22 years of its existence, the public-private San Joaquin Partnership takes credit for helping attract or retain nearly 400 companies and created 55,715 jobs in the county.
THUMBS UP and DOWN
In the 22 years of its existence, the public-private San Joaquin Partnership takes credit for helping attract or retain nearly 400 companies and created 55,715 jobs in the county.
That's an impressive accomplishment, especially when you consider that in February that San Joaquin County had a work force of about 200,000, according to figures compiled by the state Employment Development Department.
The Partnership, at the forefront of economic and job development, announced those figures during the group's annual meeting last week.
Unfortunately, not enumerated by the Partnership were the number of companies that have left the county, gone out of business or cut jobs during that same period.
This is not to criticize the Partnership's considerable efforts, along with the parallel organization, the Business Council. It is to suggest having such figures would give a clearer picture of what's going on and how the local economy is changing.
Arm teachers. And put cops - or trained security guards - in every school. This was the National Rifle Association's rehashed idea for dealing with gun violence in America. To stop gun violence, add more guns to the mix, the NRA recommends.
Were the issue not so serious, the suggestion would be as laughable as proposals that if we simply ban all firearms nirvana would be ours.
The causes of violence in this country are much more complex and the solutions much more complicated than the simplistic offerings by extremists on either side.
We're reminded again of just how difficult it is to stop crime by the debate about hiring more police officers in Stockton.
About 30 people at last week's City Council meeting to urge adoption of Mayor Anthony Silva's sales tax plan to hire up to 100 more officers. Their stories were heartfelt and often personal.
But even if we could magically put that many more officers on the street tomorrow, it might solve one problem but it likely would create others.
The number of prosecutors and public defenders has dropped dramatically in recent years. Courtrooms have been shuttered. County jail space is at a premium because of state prison realignment. And on and on. And this is before we try to deal with some of the underlying causes of crime such as poverty, joblessness and hopelessness.
In stressful times - and high rates of violent crime create considerable stress - the reaction is often to seek quick, simple solutions, in this case just "arrest more criminals."
It's never that simple. Or quick.
Jon Alexander may soon be among the unemployed.
Ordinarily that would be sad news, but in Alexander's case it might be called justice.
The California State Bar is recommending Alexander, the district attorney of Del Norte County, be disbarred.
Among other things, Alexander was accused of making a $14,000 loan to a probation officer preparing probation reports for two of his clients when he was a public defender and receiving a $6,000 loan from a defense attorney, then dismissing charges against the attorney's client.
He was also accused of improperly discussing a case with a drug defendant without her lawyer present.
Other than that, he's on the up-and-up.
Alexander, of course, sees things differently.
He says he was a victim of small-town politics and his many political enemies made during the contentious and close election for district attorney in 2010, when he defeated the incumbent and another candidate by 93 votes in a runoff after spending $100,000 to his opponents' $20,000 for a job that pays $84,000 annually.
The State Bar hearing judge placed him on inactive status - meaning he can't practice law. Disbarment doesn't go into effect until approved by the state Supreme Court.

The past weekend was an extremely busy one for the Whitecaps FC sales department, as the first wave of seat allocation for the 2011 Major League Soccer season took place.
On Saturday morning, Whitecaps MLS depositors were given the chance to select their seats in BC Place. Supporters of the Blue and White have been able to choose from seven different seating categories in BC Place, with season ticket prices ranging from a base price of $319 to the top-tier price of $1,482 (with special pricing for limited club front row seating), plus applicable tax and a $10 processing fee per order. The club's sales staff have been working tirelessly to help finalize season ticket orders and assist customers with a variety of enquiries, with the purple and yellow seating categories among the most popular with 'Caps fans.
"Since we started our seat allocation on Saturday, we have had an overwhelming response for MLS season tickets from the general public," said Whitecaps FC director of sales Roberto Cabrone. "Not only have our existing depositors moved quickly to secure their seats, many new fans are placing season ticket deposits as well. All seating sections in BC Place have been selling very well - even at this early stage of our seating allocation."
The growing interest in Whitecaps FC and MLS has also drawn the attention of several groups. Vancouver's Westside Football Club moved quickly to secure a large allocation of seats for their club members, while members of the Vancouver Southsiders supporters club have been busy securing their favourite seats. A group of soccer fans from South America and local supporters of English Premier League giants Chelsea FC have also secured blocks of seats for next year.
The seat selection process will continue throughout the week for the remaining 16,000 depositors, with plenty of great seats still available.
2011 season tickets include access to a total of 19 home matches, including all 17 MLS regular season fixtures and all Nutrilite Canadian Championship matches. In addition, Whitecaps FC season ticket holders will enjoy a number of exclusive benefits. They include savings over individual match tickets, discount on merchandise, and priority purchase rights for international friendlies that may be staged by the club. Ticket prices start at less than $17 per match and more than 60 per cent of seats are available for less than $31 per match.

Gordon Strachan's second in command is confident that the hosts can deal with the winger and insists that they will carry their own threat as well.
"I've been watching a lot of Gareth Bale recently. We will have a plan to deal with him but we are the team and will exert our own pressure," McGhee told reporters.
|Scotland v Wales is 23/20 with BetVictor to go over 2.5 goals
"We will ask players to do what they are good at. It's not a case of moulding into a rigid system."
On-loan Hull City forward George Boyd and Dundee United's Gary Mackay-Steven are both expected to feature in Friday's clash and have expressed their confidence in their abilities to deal with Bale and pick up a decent result.
"I think it's important not to just concentrate on Gareth Bale," Boyd opined. "I've played against him before but we also have good attacking options."
Mackay-Steven echoed his fellow Scotsman's views, arguing: "As a winger, I appreciate how good Bale is but we need to focus on what we can do."
Scotland currently sit bottom of Group A with two points after four games, whilst Wales are just one point ahead of them in fifth.

- HREP Proposal Form
- Final Report Information and Form
- Previous HREP Funding Allocations
- The Human Rights Enhancement Program Policy is being re-written and is currently not available.
The information provided below is intended to be an overview of the City of Columbia's Human Rights Enhancement Program (HREP). For detailed information regarding the HREP funding process and policies, please refer to the Human Rights Enhancement Program Policy for City of Columbia.
Through the HREP, the City is interested in contracting with local organizations to provide human rights educational services in our community. Services pertaining to the issues of discrimination, diversity, inclusion, tolerance, multicultural education and related human rights issues are considered for funding. The HREP is also intended to encourage collaboration between organizations and individuals concerned with human rights issues and assist them with leveraging other monies in the support of these issues.
Organizations submitting funding proposals should consider how their program service addresses human rights issues in our community specifically related to Article III, Chapter 12 of the of the Columbia Code of Ordinances (Human Rights Ordinance).
The City of Columbia Commission on Human Rights (HRC) makes recommendations to the City Manager for purchasing human rights enhancement services. The HRC is comprised of seven citizen volunteers appointed by the City Council. Staff assistance is provided by the City of Columbia Law Department.
Contracts for human rights enhancement educational services utilizing HREP funding are solicited on an on-going basis utilizing a standing Request for Proposals (RFP) process. HREP funding is made available annually, subject to budget appropriation, based on the City's fiscal year (October 1 – September 30). The HREP RFP for each fiscal year is issued on a first come, first served basis from August 16 through August 15 (or until all funding is allocated).
HREP proposals can be submitted at any time, as long as funding is available; however, program services purchased with HREP funding must be delivered within 12 months of the execution of the contract with the City. Therefore, organizations should not submit proposals for program services expected to be delivered more than 12 months from the time the proposal is submitted.
Proposals submitted by the 15th of each month are considered at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the HRC. The consideration of HREP proposals is listed as an agenda item on the corresponding HRC meeting agenda. Submitting organizations are not required to attend the meeting at which their proposal is being considered; however, it is highly recommended that a representative of the organization attend in order to address any questions about the proposal from the commission or staff.
If HREP funding is recommended by the HRC for a proposed program service, this recommendation is forwarded to the City Manager for approval. Subject to approval by the City Manager and the availability of funds, the Law Department contracts for HREP funded program services.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel
DT: Loser I want more diesel cars in the U.S. Every TDI Volkswagen makes is fun to drive and delivers great mileage with the generally more expensive fuel. I think of it as getting a performance car that would require premium gas prices, but you get economy-car mileage. The Cruze doesn't look to deliver much on either the performance or mileage fronts, at least enough to offset the cost. I'm also not sure Chevy has the cool-diesel cachet VW does.

Yet comparisons between the carpetbagging Alabama coach and new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez have been pretty common on talk radio and the Internet over the past few days.
Let's say this up front: Rodriguez is not Saban.
He did not insist again and again that he'd never take the Michigan job, then skulk out of town when millions were put on the table, as Saban did with Alabama when he was coaching the Miami Dolphins. Rodriguez hasn't bolted three straight jobs after short stints, in each case leaving when someone waved more money at him.
That's not to say Rodriguez doesn't deserve some grief.
His damaged reputation is a self-inflicted wound.
From just about the moment it became public that the then-West Virginia coach was considering coming to Michigan, Rodriguez has made decisions that make him look like a coldly calculating mercenary with little concern for the fans and players he's left behind.
It was Rodriguez who sent a graduate assistant to inform his boss he was quitting.
It was Rodriguez who informed West Virginia recruit Terrelle Pryor that he was going to Michigan before he informed his own team, and then invited Pryor to join him in Ann Arbor.
It was Rodriguez who failed to ever talk to the West Virginia media - and by extension, the fans who loved him - in any meaningful way about his interview with Michigan and his decision to leave.
Finally, it was Rodriguez who - in his introductory press conference in Ann Arbor - made it clear he'd hired lawyers to try and reduce or void the $4 million buyout he was contractually obligated to pay West Virginia if he left for another job.
Now, this week, comes news Rodriguez may have destroyed documents in his West Virginia office prior to leaving town. The coach's agent denies he did anything wrong - and may very well be proved right eventually - but the damage is done on the public relations front. Your average college football fan - having read about the Pryor incident and how Rodriguez quit - could find it very believable the coach was shredding docs faster than an Enron executive, and shredding them for a reason.
In a few short weeks, Michigan has gone from a football program seemingly above question on the ethical front to national poster boy for me-first college football coaches.
If you doubt that, here's what a national columnist for The Associated Press wrote Wednesday:
"Missing files aside, the whole Rodriguez mess is a classic case study about all that is wrong in college football these days, where players get by on room and board while the coaches who lead them become multimillionaires."
You wonder what Bo Schembechler, legendary for always putting character first at Michigan, would say if he were alive.
You know he'd say something.
You know he wouldn't be happy.
Without Bo, it's long past time for somebody else at Michigan to step up and tell Rodriguez he has to do more than let his agent insist West Virginia probably has copies of any missing documents.
The first - and best - action the new coach could take is calling a press conference to announce he's paying West Virginia the $4 million buyout that was in the contract he signed.
It's the right thing to do.
You signed the contract. Live with it.
Yes, maybe you could pay some lawyers to weasel out of part of it, but Rodriguez needs to be about 100 miles from anything that involves weaseling right now.
He should pay the buyout, publicly admit he made some mistakes in the last month or so, apologize to West Virginia and its fans, and promise that the whole experience will cause him to be above question on these matters in the future.
America loves apologies. A simple public "I'm sorry" will instantly separate Rodriguez from Saban.
That and the $4 million, of course.
Until both are forthcoming, the odds are pretty good that Rodriguez's public fight with the entire state of West Virginia is going to get uglier before it gets better, dragging Michigan and its football program further into the mud in the process.

Rob, you must be onto something in your tirade against street photography You are fully vindicated here, and then some:Now Fatwa against photography!
Anybody still wonder why these people are so backward?
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.Exodus 20:4 KJV
And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole...Numbers 21:8 KJV
You definitely win this months selective quotation competition.
My brother's favorite bible quote is from Psalm 137: "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." KJV
As it stands, that's offensive. You might want to rephrase.
Now Fatwa against photography!
What's offensive about it, Robert? These folks are trying hard to turn back the clock to the seventh century. I'll admit that sometimes I get a bit nostalgic about some things I enjoyed in the fifties, but longing for the seventh century is a bit much.
Hello Russ. I'll have a go at an answer. No doubt others could do better though.It's that the question "Anybody still wonder why these people are so backward?" comes across as breathtakingly arrogant. I'm not suggesting that you or any member of this forum think you are more important than other people, it's just how the question appears.If I call someone backward it implies I am in some way superior, and people are entitled to ask in what manner this manifests. I'll use the USA as an example, but Europe or any other place would do.Are folks in the USA morally superior? What do their divorce rates, crime statistics and imprisonment rates, care of the poor and sick show?Are the better stewards of their environment?Are they better stewards of their financial system and use it for the betterment of all?In their day to day actions do they, as a nation, do the things that please God?To say that those folks "over there" are worse is not an excuse for our own failings.I think it a question of respect. So one Muslim cleric somewhere issues an opinion about photography. So what. If he advocates violence that's another matter. Hezekiah had the bronze sepent mentioned above destroyed because it became an object of superstitious veneration. If for religious reasons, in their corner of the world, some folks are concerned about such use and misuse of images, I have no problem with that. I won't knowingly photograph them. But I may make them the subject of a little gentle humour.

|King Buck In-Depth Q&A
|BTR Score Sheet of the Rack
|Reneau's View
|Schmidt: King Buck Deserves Another Look
|Contact B&C
by Daniel Schmidt, Deer & Deer Hunting editor
If you haven't read the entire story about the Johnny King Buck in this latest issue of Deer & Deer Hunting, I strongly suggest you do. This buck, killed nearly 5 years ago in Grant County, Wisconsin, is by all accounts the new World Record typical. That's not so much the story here, however. The jaw-dropping aspect of this story is how one person's inability — dare I say stubbornness — is preventing history from being recorded.
The Boone and Crockett Club is the world's premier record-keeping organization. The same can be said for the Wisconsin Buck and Bear Club, which (behind B&C and the Pope and Young Club) is the third largest record-keeping organization in North America. All three of these organizations rely on the selfless contributions of hundreds of volunteers to document North America's greatest game animals. When dozens of these volunteers — individuals who know the scoring system inside and out — say that a wrong has been committed, someone needs to step up and right that wrong. Many of them have, including men like Ron Boucher — a man who incidentally served on the B&C panel that scored Milo Hanson's buck as the new world record nearly 18 years ago. Ron has nothing to gain by standing up for the King Buck. In fact, he has almost everything to lose. But Ron decided that fighting the good fight was well worth it. After all, these records were originally implemented to honor the animals — not the hunters who killed them.
"This is hurting the Boone and Crockett Club," he told me. "It is a tremendous black eye for B&C. The moment I looked at that rack, I said, 'There's no way that is an abnormal point.' What's right is right. Milo Hanson is a good, personal friend of mine. The last thing I wanted was to see is him lose his World Record standing, but this is not about him. It's about the deer, and the King Buck is bigger, according to B&C rules."
Boucher is not alone in these beliefs. Many other B&C scorers have, essentially, said the same thing, but most have cowered in fear over what B&C's director of records will say or do to them if they come forward.
"It is time to do what is best for Boone and Crockett and let the truth be told," Boucher said. "You have to remove all the favoritism and politics from this and let this deer get its due."
The kicker to all of this? Not one of the B&C scorers that D&DH has talked with has called for the King Buck to be immediately anointed the new World Record. All they are asking for is that the Boone and Crockett Club allows this deer to be panel-scored by its own ranks. That's not asking a lot. It is, however, telling a lot … that something is seriously amiss at the top of the club's record-keeping program.
On its own website, B&C states: "The Club maintains the records of native North American Big Game as a vital conservation record in assessing the success of wildlife management programs." The true irony here is that the King Buck was killed in what is considering "Ground Zero" for CWD management in North America — Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. How a buck could grow to 5-1/2 years in this environment and produce a world-record rack is nothing short of amazing.
In making my final statement, let's get one thing straight: We all love the Boone and Crockett Club and what it stands for: wildlife guardianship, fair-chase hunting and high ethical standards. The volunteer scorers who we've cited in the feature article exemplify all of those traits.
Let's all swallow some pride, put our feelings aside and determine truthfully where this deer ranks in the history books. Once and for all.

April 29, 2012 -- Texting or even the thought of texting on a cell phone while driving may be distracting enough to cause a car crash for teens.
Two new studies suggest that teen drivers who text with their cell phone in any position or even think about texting are more likely to be involved in an accident.
"We know it is important to prevent young drivers from taking their hands off the wheel and eyes off the road to use a cell phone," researcher Jennifer M. Whitehill, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center at the University of Washington, says in a news release. "This study suggests that thinking about future cell phone calls and messages may be an additional source of distraction that could contribute to crashes."
Several studies have shown that texting or using a cell phone while driving raises the risk of motor vehicle accidents, prompting bans on texting while driving in many states.
But some have suggested that such bans may increase these dangers by causing drivers who text to conceal their phones from view.
Texting Unsafe in Any Position for Drivers
In the first study, researchers looked at whether the position of the cell phone affected teen drivers' performance while texting.
Using a driving simulator, 22 teen drivers drove under three different conditions: without a cell phone, texting with a cell phone hidden from view, and texting with a cell phone in their preferred position.
The results showed that teens who were texting while driving were up to eight times more likely to drift between lanes. They were also twice as likely to be involved in a near crash with other cars and pedestrians, regardless of whether the phone was concealed.
Overall, teens who were texting while driving made up to four times more driving mistakes and were often unaware of these potentially dangerous mishaps.
"These data demonstrate that there is no 'safe' or 'better' position that makes texting less dangerous," Glade Inhofe, a high school student who helped conduct the study, says in a news release.
Thought of Cell Phone Use Distracting
The second study looked at whether the thought or anticipation of cell phone use affected the risk of car crashes among young drivers.
Researchers surveyed a group of 384 undergraduate students at the University of Washington about their cell phone use and history of car crashes.
The students completed a Cell Phone Overuse Scale (CPOS) that measured four aspects of potentially problematic or compulsive cell phone use:
- Frequent anticipation of calls or messages
- Cell phone use interferes with normal activities and impacts friends and family
- A strong emotional reaction to the cell phone
- Recognizing "problem cell phone use"
The results showed that each 1-point increase on the CPOS scale was associated with a 1% increase in the number of previous car crashes among the young drivers.
In particular, young drivers who frequently anticipated a call or text or had an emotional response to their cell phone were more likely to be involved in a car crash.
Both studies were presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Boston.
These findings were presented at a medical conference. They should be considered preliminary, as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.

Continuing to follow the fall out from the new rules NFL owners approved Thursday ...
David Akers will be an unrestricted free agent whenever NFL business resumes, yet another reason why you can expect to see the long-time Eagles kicker elsewhere this season.
Under terms of the CBA owners voted on, a team can use either the franchise tag or the transition tag on free agents, not both. The Eagles have already franchised Michael Vick, and he signed the tender, so the transition tag they applied to Akers in February is gone.
Teams were only able to use one of the tags up until 2010, when the uncapped year provided a quirk in the rules. The Eagles knew that it was unlikely that they'd be able to use both tags, but applied them anyway, just in case the CBA turned out differently. In any case, we probably knew Akers was out of Philly already, since he refused to sign the tag and the team drafted kicker Alex Henery. This just adds to the evidence.
The Eagles, meanwhile, face a Sept. 20 deadline for reaching a contract extension with Vick, we reported earlier. Eagles president Joe Banner declined to comment on plans for the quarterback.
Facilities won't open Saturday
The brief optimism of Thursday night is quickly turning to this reality: we've still got some distance to cover before we start seeing players back at facilities and the trade/free agency market start churning.
Because of the NFLPA hasn't voted on the CBA, the opening of team facilities has been pushed back at least a day. That means they won't open until Sunday, at the earliest, instead of Saturday. The start of free agency and trades -- originally slated for Wednesday -- may now also move to Thursday, or later if the negotiations continue to drag out.
If the NFLPA's executive committee recommends approving the CBA, players can then show up at team facilities, but the deal would need full ratification for the league year to start and open the door to trades and free agent signings.

VeganMoFo: Trinidadian FEAST!!
Bonus Post! Well, I cooked this meal up a couple weeks ago, thinking I would save it to blog during my mofo Around The World in 30 Days project. But then, other things came to pass... and sweet Trinidad, with its kick-ass yumminess, got left out of my travel itinerary. But this meal was too good to leave behind! So, I offer you this "off the map" bonus mofo post. YES, there will be two international mofo posts in one day here at VE&T!
This meal really got me excited about ATWin30D. These delicious dishes from Trinidad were different and new flavors, easy to make, and totally delicious together. It seems to me that Trinidadian food is the glorious love child of Indian food and Caribbean food. Mr. VE&T and I were oohing and ahhing ourselves all the way back into the kitchen for seconds.
Starting from the top left: Spinach Bhaji, white rice, Trinidanian Mango Curry, and Yellow Split Peas with Thyme and cumin. All from "Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian." The spinach was slow cooked for a long time, until it was a tender and savory mess of deliciousness. The earthy flavors of the spinach were a perfect combo with the spicy-sweet mango and the savory, creamy split peas. That mango curry was totally new for me, and was quite a revelation. We loved it! And, now that I have a good source for California-grown mangos (huzzah!), I'll probably make it again soon. The only thing I'll do differently next time is add even more jalepeno to the mango curry. The recipe called for 1-4 hot peppers... and as I was making a half recipe, I used just one mango. Mr. VE&T thought it would be better even hotter, and a quick test with some hot sauce from the fridge proved him right. Hands down. This meal was such a joy to eat, and the whole thing cooked up in one hour - start to finish. It's fun and exciting to explore all these new flavors and spice combos... and I'm so stoked to see what other new flavors ATWin30D will bring to our dining room table!

The picture at the top made me salivate a little.ReplyDelete
no, no, sad anonymous friend! I didn't forget jamaica! it's just there are so many countries, and only 30 days. I found these recipes... and went this route. One of my plans now is to continue with this global adventure after MoFo is over, and I scout's-honor-promise to return to the Caribbean for some Jamaican food. Okay! I love Jamaica! No sad faces!ReplyDelete
That looks mighty delicious! I need to make some Trinidadian soon.ReplyDelete

Each fall and spring, the channel swimmer / bubble-cap aficionado / legendary South Ender known as El Sharko (occasionally "Sir Sharko," sometimes shortened to "Sharko," and just "Chris" to his wife) organizes a swim & BBQ at Heart's Desire Beach in Tomales Bay State Park, north of San Francisco.
In homage to the white sharks who breed near the mouth of Tomales Bay, this event is known as the "Tomales Bay White Shark Swimming Association (TBWSSA) Chomp" (alternatively, "Tomales Bay Dangerous 'Swim with the White Sharks' Chomp," often shortened to simply "The Chomp"). Sharko's sanguine approach to the oft-repressed fact of VW-sized predators in our local waters is encapsulated by his calling card: "I never met a shark I didn't like."
The "Fall Chomp" of 2013 fell on what must surely go down as one of the most glorious days of the year: 80 degrees, windless clear skies all the way to the Farallons. Heart's Desire Beach, about two-thirds of the way inland (8.5 miles) from the Bay mouth, lived up to its name.
I'm coming off a head cold, so I opted for a patch of shade and a book instead of the admittedly inviting Bay waters. Shallow Tomales Bay usually runs a few degrees warmer than San Francisco Bay, and was mid-60s F according to reports.
The swim portion of the Chomp was low-key and non-competitive. They swam north (into the flood) along the western shore for about a mile, and then back, escorted by a few kayaks.
Swimmers sighted on the famous shark fin as they headed out from the beach.
Post-swim, an alternative meaning of the "Chomp" became clear. Hungry swimmers feasted on clam chowder, BBQ'd Tomales Bay oysters, and sundry potluck items.
The Chomp concluded with… wait for it… a poetry reading. A comedic recitation of primarily swimming-, ocean-, or South End-related verse aptly called the "Wet Poets' Society."
Some read canonical poems (e.g., Whitman's "
We made it back to the city by early afternoon, and the day ended even more spectacularly than it began. The sun set directly over the Farallon Islands, clearly visible 30 miles offshore, casting the unusually glassy Pacific in a startling glow.

Justin Bieber Reveals the Definition of Swag
Justin Bieber participated in iHeartRadio's 'In My Words' interview, where the subject scribbles answers to a short questionnaire in their own handwriting. Like they do in Cosmo! The Biebs certainly has chicken scratch for handwriting — perhaps because he is a lefty? — but his answers were colorful and lively. He also unlocked a crucial secret of the Bieber universe when revealing the definition of swag, which is his signature phrase that he says three times in 'Boyfriend' and that which describes the essence of being Da Biebs.
Millions have died trying to obtain this crucial, life-changing information and now, on a sheet of paper, thanks to iHeartRadio, the singer has shared what swag really is. Are you ready? Can you handle it? Wait for it, wait for it, now!
"Being confident in yourself" is the be all, end all of swag. You, too, can swag it out.
Some of his silly answers? He would trade jobs with professional butt whooper Chuck Norris, dreamed about Martha Stewart and believes that Bieber Fever is incurable. You know that's right! We're just trying to imagine The Biebs delivering a roundhouse kick, which is a Norris staple.
He also admitted that it's strawberries that he likes to dip into fondue, a la the 'Boyfriend' lyric. He jokes about boobies, too. He is, after all, a boy(friend).
His answers are, in three words, full of swag, swag, swag.

Han Ga-in considering historical drama
Actress Han Ga-in is considering appearing in a historical drama next year, according to her agency on Thursday. An official with J.One+ Entertainment told 10Asia over phone that Han is looking into the MBC series set to air in the first half of 2012 but has not made a decision.
The show, named "The Moon Bearing the Sun" (translated title), is based on the novel of the same name by writer Jung Eun-gwol who wrote the original novel for hit KBS TV series "SungKyunKwan Scandal."
"Sun" will tell of the love between an imaginary king of the Joseon Dynasty and a female shaman.
If Han takes on the show, it will be her first historial drama during her ten-year acting career which started with series "Sunshine Hunting" in 2001.
Her last role was in SBS TV series "Bad Boy" alongside actor Kim Nam-gil last year and she is currently filming movie "Introduction to Architecture" (translated title) opposite actor Uhm Tae-woong.

Kim Soo-hyun takes the lead in fantasy sageuk romance
Casting has been revealed for the upcoming sageuk drama Moon That Embraces the Sun, which is adapted from a novel by Jung Eun-gwol, the writer who wrote The Lives of Sungkyunkwan's Scholars, the novel that gave us Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Phew, that's a mouthful. Basically: Sungkyunkwan Scandal v.2.0 in the works? Yes, please!
Kim Soo-hyun will take the lead role of Lee Hwon, a fictional king of Joseon who falls in love with a female shaman, to be played (as previously rumored) by Han Ga-in. The drama will be a fantasy romance about young love and coming of age in the Joseon era, set against the backdrop of the palace. So that's good news if you were a fan of the addictive Sungkyunkwan Scandal, since tonally it seems to share a lot of similarities.
Since we're dealing with a fictional king rather than a historical figure, my bet is that we'll be seeing an alternate-universe version of Joseon; this is not your father's sageuk. Who cares about historical accuracy when you've got a delicious romance to root for? And with Kim Soo-hyun finally getting the girl (he'd better), yeah, it's gonna be delicious.
I'm sure the drama's title is a reference to the nature of the romance — two entities that Cannot Be Together fall in love anyway — which is reflected in their names. His contains the character for light, and her name, Wol, means moon.
Kim Soo-hyun has had a string of memorable performances playing teenagers in dramas like Giant, Will It Snow For Christmas, and Dream High, but this is his first adult leading role. It's probably because he's played younger than his age that he seems so much younger than Han Ga-in, but they're actually just six years apart; she's 29 and he's 23. Already he's got wonderful presence and tons of talent; watching him is engaging and often stirring.
Kim is currently wrapping up filming on his movie Thieves, the Oceans Eleven-esque caper about a team of thieves led by mastermind Lee Jung-jae. Can't wait for that, either.
Moon That Embraces the Sun is written by scriptwriter Jin Soo-wan of Capital Scandal and directed by PD Kim Do-hoon of Royal Family. It is preparing for a January broadcast on MBC.

Joo-won in contention for Moon That Embraces the Sun
Another up-and-comer is in contention to join MBC's The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Joo-won, who hit mainstream success last year with Baker King Kim Tak-gu, playing the antagonistic foil to Yoon Shi-yoon's good-hearted hero. The drama is the fantasy-sageuk romance starring Kim Soo-hyun as a fictional Joseon king, and Han Ga-in as the female shaman he falls in love with.
Joo-won would play a prince who's the first in line for succession to the throne. And since succession battles are so often the core of sageuk dramas, you know what this means: rivalries and factions and political intrigue ahead. He's half-brother to the king (and hyung), and falls for the shaman at the same time as his younger bro.
The Moon that Embraces the Sun is based on a novel written by the Sungkyunkwan Scandal novelist, and is planning for a January broadcast.

New TV series, The Moon Embraces the Sun releases pictures from the set
MBC's Wednesday-Thursday series, The Moon Embraces the Sun, which will start airing in the first half of next year, opened their official Twitter account and released pictures from the set.
On November 12, the production company Pan Entertainment released pictures of four actors, who will play the children's parts, including, Yeo Jin Goo, Lee Min Ho, Si Wan, and Lee Won Geun. The pictures were taken on November 26 when they had a soccer match.
A spokesperson for the company says, "Even though the weather was so cold, the actors had fun taking pictures while playing foot volleyball." Yeo, who will play the role of a young Kim Soo Hyun, says, "I used to play the roles of tough characters with messy hair. I'm happy to play the role of a prince named Hwon and I'm really enjoying it. I'm studying hard to learn how to act like a prince and how to speak like a prince. I will try hard to describe Hwon's first love in the series."
Actor Kim Soo Hyun stopped by at the set to support the crew and the actors. Kim will play the role of a grown up Hwon and actress Han Ga In will play the counterpart to Kim.
The official homepage for the series will be opened on December 12. The homepage will release some other pictures, which were taken on the set.
The series is a fantasy romantic historical drama which is about a girl named Yeon Woo (played by Han) and a king Hwon (played by Kim) of the Joseon Dynasty. The first episode of the series will air on January 4 after the currently airing series Me Too, Flower.

Officials dismiss rumors of Han Ga In withdrawing from MBC's 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun'
Officials have dismissed rumors about Han Ga In's withdrawal from the upcoming MBC drama, 'The Moon That Embraces The Sun'.
On December 20th, the drama's publisher Pan Entertainment revealed to Money Today Star News that "Currently, the casting process is going smoothly. Han Ga In's withdrawal? Nonsense".
They continued,"On the 22nd, there will be a photo shoot for the official drama poster. We even talked with the actress' agency today and confirmed the next schedule."
Han Ga In's agency expressed that they were confused over the basis of the rumors.
"We don't understand what's going on. These withdrawal rumors don't make any sense. We are preparing for the recording as planned."
'The Moon That Embraces The Sun' was written by Jung Eun Gwol, who's also responsible for writing the novel version of 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal'. Fans can look forward to a fantasy-historical drama that tells the love story between Chosun King, Lee Hwon (played by Kim Soo Hyun) and a woman named Yeon-Woo (played by Han Ga In).
