Roselle Dist. 12 cancels candidate forum
On the heels of a formal complaint from a resident, officials in Roselle Elementary District 12 will cancel a Feb. 16 forum for Roselle village board candidates.
Superintendent Lori Bein has csaid the event was planned as a service to the community. But in a statement Friday she said the district would have to spend money on legal council to defend itself against the complaint to proceed with the forum.
"Though we are confident in our legal right to host this nonpartisan forum, we are not willing to commit money toward defending our position," she said in the statement.
Roselle businessman Paul Jendrycki lodged a complaint against the district Wednesday, saying the forum violated the district's ethics and gifts ban by allowing campaigning on school grounds.
He also said the forum seemed slanted, since four school board members are listed as "vocal supporters" of incumbent candidate Barbara Rendall-Hochstadt on her campaign website.
Three candidates who are members of the Roselle United Party voiced similar concerns last month after the forum was announced. Party members Eleanor "Elly" Paletta, Richard Rhode and Todd Eichholz declined to participate, while independent candidates Ron Baker, Wayne Domke and Hochstadt were scheduled to appear.
Jendrycki said he does not support any candidate so far, and was strictly concerned with the proper use of taxpayer money.
"I believe this was the proper decision because I believe it was a political event," said Jendrycki "If this was truly an event to raise awareness, where were the candidates for the library and the park district? I commend Dr. Bein for re-evaluating the original actions of the district board."

Kentucky To Focus on Attendance
Kentucky leaders, in an attempt to improve school attendance in the state and focus attention on the importance of being in school, have declared the week of April 22 "high attendance week."
Gov. Martha Layne Collins and Superintendent of Public Instruction Alice McDonald, in conjunction with the Kentucky Association of School Administrators, announced the program late last month as part of the state's education-improvement plan.
Innovation Encouraged
They encouraged local school systems to be innovative in getting their students to class, said Frances R. Salyers, spokesman for the state department of education.
"The thrust of this program is to get the message across to students and parents that school has something to offer, but you can't get what is offered if you are not there," Ms. Salyers said.
The strategies to boost attendance developed by local administrators and educators will be filed in a report and shared with other school districts, she added.
Students who have 100-percent attendance records during the week will receive certificates, and schools that report exceptionally high attendance or notable increases in attendance over the week will also be recognized, according to Ms. Salyers.--br

I would like to respond to the editorial "No Place for Hazing," Dec. 10. I am a 2/c Midshipman at the United States Naval Academy and I was rather upset by inaccurate data in that article. Many of my classmates and other midshipmen that I have talked to also disagree with it.Hazing is already over. I firmly agree that serious hazing has no place in the military or the academies. However, in recent years hazing has been abolished. Any stressful actions taken by upperclassmen toward plebes has been directed not at women but at those who are physically, mentally, or morally unqualified to be officers in the military, regardless of sex, race, or religion. I have witnessed a few incidents which could be called hazing, but the offenders were quickly and severely reprimanded. In the case of the female midshipman who was handcuffed, all of the offenders were stringently punished for their actions. They claimed they were responding to an act of malice done to them by the woman, but that was no excuse reacting in such a childish way. Devan J. Cross, Annapolis, Md.
Contesting rape statistics The article "Smith Trial Unfolds Pain of Rape Cases," Dec. 10, reports that, according to DePaul University law professor Morrison Torrey, "various surveys" reveal 40 to 68 percent of males "would rape a woman if they knew they could get away with it." As a reader, I would like more information about those "various sources" instead of relying on second-hand hearsay. Who conducted the surveys and what groups of men were surveyed? How were the surveys made and what was the definition of "rape" used in the surveys? When I think about the men who are my friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and relatives, it seems false and degrading to be told that so many of them would rape if they could get away with it. Joe Belknap Pacific Grove, Calif. I must object to the reporting of the Smith rape trial. The author uncritically repeats highly suspect figures commonly asserted about rape by feminist activists. One of them is that "according to FBI statistics, 1 in 4 women can expect to be raped." The truth of such reports cannot be measured by social science methods. K. Skupnick, Wellesley, Mass.
In defense of foreign aid In the Opinion page article, "What a Deal! Cut Foreign Aid," Dec. 11, the authors state that we provide foreign aid because we are generous "by nature." In fact, we are simply pragmatic. Foreign aid gives us enormous leverage in negotiating tariff and trade agreements, environmental and other global policies, prices for natural resources, and protection for US investments abroad. We also provide aid to countries we have identified as militarily advantageous. Emily Sims, Des Moines, Iowa
In response to the editorial "Help for the USSR's Successor," Dec. 12: The time has arrived for the US to abandon its phobia of "Russians," which is an incorrect way to refer to the Soviet people. With the transformation of the Soviet Union in mind, our attention should at this point be directed toward the needs of the people of the region and not just at our apprehension over their government's future direction. Without the food, shelter, incomes, and other necessities for living, the citizens of the USSR's successor are helpless. The US should assist them in recovering from their current situation and use its influence to stabilize the region if it is to maintain leverage in an unquestionably important area. Todd Young, Windsor, Conn.

Apple is making it easier for iPhone owners to trade in their old models even if there's an indication of water damage. The company changed its policy so that in-store staff can evaluate the overall condition of an iPhone instead of simply rejecting the devices if the moisture sensors have been set off.
The change means in-store staff can consider the overall condition of an iPhone for trade-in regardless of whether or not the moisture sensor is indicating water damage. That's good news for iPhone owners in extremely humid environments where there's a higher chance of moisture sensors giving false positives, although anyone that drops their iPhone in the pool will still be out of luck because employees will be checking for water under the display as well as other signs of serious water damage.
Apple eases up on iPhone water damage policy
The more relaxed policy applies only for in-store trade-ins, so you'll have to find an Apple Store near you before you can test the new policy.

Quote of the Week
"This is something we should politicize. It is relevant to our common life together, to the body politic. ... This is a political choice that we make — to allow this to happen every few months in America."
— President Obama, speaking after yet another mass shooting, this one at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., last Thursday. Nine people were killed and another nine wounded before the gunman, a 26-year-old student at the school, shot and killed himself.
Another brick in the wall
Coming soon to the Little Rock School District: A renewed fight on the subject of facilities, specifically the likely purchase of a former office building and warehouse to house a new middle school for West Little Rock. Last week, LRSD Superintendent Baker Kurrus signed an $11.5 million conditional contract to acquire the former Leisure Arts building on Cantrell Road. LRSD has six months to study the property and determine whether it's feasible to retrofit as a school. The district will simultaneously begin planning a new high school in Southwest Little Rock to replace the existing McClellan campus. The two projects will "move along parallel tracks," said Kurrus. (See column, opposite page.)
West Little Rock has long clamored for a middle school, and understandably so. Still, new investment in majority-white, mostly affluent West Little Rock raises hauntingly familiar questions about racial and socioeconomic segregation within the district. After all, the LRSD was taken over by the state Education Department in January because of lagging student performance, and the district's low scores are concentrated in the schools that serve predominately lower-income and minority neighborhoods. Here's a secret: Those neighborhoods generally aren't in West Little Rock.
The Asa-Obama-Castro axis
Gov. Asa Hutchinson last week traveled to Havana to promote trade with Cuba, which is a potentially major market for rice, chicken and other agricultural products that Arkansas does well. For once, Hutchinson is on the same page as President Obama, who has worked to thaw diplomatic relations with the Communist nation over the objections of grandstanding Republicans like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (or our own Sen. Tom Cotton). The business interests of Tyson and Riceland trump even GOP orthodoxy, it seems.
The price of oil
Two and a half years after the Mayflower oil spill, a federal agency fined petroleum giant Exxon Mobil for safety violations in its operation of the ruptured Pegasus pipeline. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration assessed a civil penalty of $2.63 million on Exxon for being out of compliance with regulations regarding inspection protocols. PHMSA also ordered Exxon to improve its system for assessing the potential failure of welding seams used in its pipe. A ruptured seam — the product of a known manufacturing defect — was the immediate cause of the Mayflower spill.
Picking on Planned Parenthood
Federal Judge Kristine Baker issued a preliminary injunction on Friday that would stop Arkansas from cutting off Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood. The order was narrowly tailored to apply only to three anonymous plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging Gov. Hutchinson's attempt to defund the medical provider; Baker did not extend her injunction to all Medicaid-qualified Planned Parenthood patients.
Yet even so, the state is appealing that ruling, as well as barring any other Medicaid recipients from getting health screenings, contraceptives and other medical services provided by Planned Parenthood. (Note: Not abortion, because Medicaid does not pay for abortions, as per federal law, except in the case of rape, incest or to save a mother's life.) Planned Parenthood on Monday filed a motion asking that the case be treated as a class action.
Anne Frank tree finds home at Clinton Library
Bill Clinton stopped by Little Rock last week to celebrate the installation of a new memorial at the presidential library bearing his name: A sapling from the horse chestnut that stood outside the Amsterdam house where Anne Frank and her family sheltered from the Nazis. It's one of 11 saplings the Anne Frank Center USA has distributed across the country; another is to be planted at Central High. In her diary, written while she was confined in the house's attic for more than two years, Anne Frank wrote of gazing out upon the chestnut tree and dreaming of a better future.

Some Northwest Missouri State University courses have undergone a makeover that was more than a year in the making, and reviews show students are embracing the changes.
During the spring trimester, Northwest successfully piloted three courses – general psychology, developmental mathematics and principles of management – that were redesigned with the goals of integrating technology and teaching more effectively while enhancing students' grasp of concepts they learn in the courses.
Additionally, the redesigns allow for one instructor to manage a larger pool of students enrolled in fewer sections. Previously, different sections of the same course were taught by different instructors, which often led to different outcomes for students, depending on the section in which they were enrolled.
The recent redesigns stem from a collaborative effort of the state's four-year public colleges and universities to be more efficient in the delivery of course content and to improve the learning outcomes of students compared to the approaches of a traditional course.
Northwest redesigned principles of management with the help of Next Generation Learning Challenges funds awarded to the state last year by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Flora Hewlett Foundation. Missouri's 13 public four-year universities filed jointly for the $250,000 education grant and the Missouri application was one of 29 selected from a pool of 600. Each University redesigned one course that is common to all of the institutions with guidance from the National Center for Academic Transformation (NCAT).
Surveys of students in Northwest's redesigned classes show the new approaches are being accepted and written comments are overwhelmingly positive. Students in the redesigned psychology course gave higher satisfaction ratings than those students in the traditional section. A student in the management course wrote on an evaluation, "I'm learning much more through this class than a normal lecture."
"What ends up happening is students spend more time with the content," said Dr. Darla Runyon, assistant director and curriculum design specialist in Northwest's Center for Information Technology in Education, which coordinated the course redesigns. "They're not just spending that Monday-Wednesday-Friday time in class. They're spending Monday-Wednesday-Friday-plus because there's so much more material on the course website that they have to go out and interact with and work on so they can be ready to do what they have to do in the classroom."
Jeff Nickerson, a marketing and management instructor, taught a pilot of the redesigned course in the spring and will teach two sections when the redesign is fully implemented this fall.
Under the redesigned model, the student capacity for his course section increases from about 50 students to 100. Also, Nickerson's students will now spend 100 minutes in class over two sessions per week, compared to the previous model of 150 minutes over three sessions per week.
The new course uses a blended format that reduces the time students spend in the classroom by incorporating a combination of online discussions, case studies and assessments with the traditional in-class lectures and activities.
The blended format, Nickerson noted, allows instructors to more efficiently cover material in class sessions and ensure students are completing assignments outside of class. He added that, by his own measurements, students who attend the class sessions achieve higher grades in the course, showing that attendance remains key to student success.
"I want to ensure they still learn the objectives and the material that are important to principles of management and at the same time give them individual feedback, even in a large classroom," Nickerson said.
Similarly, Northwest piloted a redesigned general psychology course, which also uses a blended format. As that redesign is fully implemented this fall, Dr. Don Ehlers will serve as an instructor and coordinator of its six sections consisting of 90 students each. It will include a Monday lecture by Ehlers and Wednesday sessions that split the sections into smaller groups of 45 for activities led by adjunct instructors. Friday class sessions will be reserved for online quizzes.
Previously, the general psychology course averaged 10 sections with 53 students in each. A pool of adjunct instructors taught different sections, which often led to varied outcomes, and turnover was problematic. The redesigned course, however, aims to increase student involvement and interaction with the subject material in addition to improving the quality of the course.
"My goal as I assumed this position was to build a strong team among my adjuncts, graduate assistants and myself," Ehlers said. "As a strong team, we could then focus on building strong relationships with our students. I believe that the foundation for effective teaching learning is a positive relationship between student and teacher. With the strong relationship I wanted to provide a course delivery model that made sense and was effective."
To redesign Northwest's developmental math course, the University followed NCAT's Emporium Model, which eliminates lectures and places students in a learning resource center. Students spend the same amount of time in classroom sessions, but they learn at their own pace using interactive software and may still call on an in-class instructor for assistance. Students must work through 10 modules and demonstrate competency in various math concepts to receive full credit for the course. Students also may take pre-tests to "pass out" of modules.
With the new templates for each course, the redesigns become engrained in the department so a new faculty member may easily step in to teach the course when its instructor moves on.
In addition to helping students gain a better understanding of course concepts, instructors say the blended format also helps students develop skills that extend beyond the classroom.
"What I really like about this design is it emphasizes soft skills like time management, responsibility and coming to class," Nickerson said.
In addition to the most recent redesigns, Northwest has redesigned several courses since 2005, including oral communications, biology lab, computers and technology, and theater appreciation.
Northwest hopes to implement a program to allow faculty across the campus to submit proposals for course redesigns. The University will especially look at courses with low enrollments and staffing challenges.

BEIJING — A mid-level public security official earning $19,000 a year acquires 21 houses, valued at more than $6 million. The former railroad minister is alleged to have accumulated $250 million in bribes, which he reportedly hoped to use to buy his way into the Politburo. Families of Politburo members are revealed to have fortunes in the hundreds of millions.
Corruption is very much the hot topic at the 18th Communist Party congress underway in Beijing. Once too sensitive to be discussed in public, graft is now the subject of grandiloquent editorials in state-owned media. President Hu Jintao, in his opening address to the congress Thursday, said it could "even cause the collapse of the party and the fall of the state."
Pressure is on to adopt American-style "sunshine laws" requiring public disclosure of officials' income and assets. At one session of the congress, Yu Zhengsheng, the Shanghai party chief, voiced support for public disclosure.
"When a complete and easy-to-supervise system is established, it will be the most efficient way to keep our family members and people around us in check," said Yu.

Eight wins out of the previous ten matches reflect an impressive run of form for the Indian football team, but the picture appears quite different if you happen to take a glance at the Fifa rankings. With a rank of 152 in the world, Indian football has faded away on the world map of the sport.
Indian football has been in transition for ages, but with the launch of the Indian Super League and the upcoming U-17 Fifa World Cup set to be staged in the country, it appears to be for real. Is the sleeping giant of football about to wake up? Puerto Rico - a team from the Caribbean that's ranked 38 places above India in the Fifa rankings – will put that belief to a stern test on Saturday evening.
It is after four years that India is facing a non-Asian team, but this fact has been overridden by the return of international football to the city of Mumbai after a 61 years. The timing of this clash couldn't have been better. With the Asian Cup Qualifiers coming up next year, India needs to find a way up in the Fifa ranking charts and the only way of doing that is by trouncing a team ranked higher than India.
For the Indian team's head coach Stephan Constantine though, it is bit more than that. "I'd rather lose 0-4 to Iran that win 5-0 against Bhutan, simply because my players learn a lot from the game against sides like Iran," the English manager said ahead of the Puerto Rico clash.
"They (Puerto Rico) have similarities with Guam. Most of their players are based in the United States. In fact they even have a team Puerto Rico FC which play in the US League. They have a number of players playing in Europe and they will be a very good side, make no mistake of that. They recently lost to USA 3-1. It's good to test ourselves against these kind of teams. And hopefully we will be able to pass the test," said the Englishman.
Constantine has maintained that he has a long-term plan for the development of Indian football and has stuck with a core group of young players who according to him can serve India really well over the next 6-7 years.
"We are trying to build a pool of players who would represent India for the next 6-7 years. In fact, we already have built a sizeable group but there will be additions, Today there is a healthy competition for each of the slots, and it's a first time that I am having such a problem. For me, it's a good problem to have," Constantine said.
India's youthfulness could come very handy against a jaded Puerto Rico side who missed their flight to Mumbai and only landed in the host city at 5 PM IST on Friday. Having reached India just 27 hours before the game, that too after a long journey would have already taken a toll on the visitors and it will be a task for Caribbean side who will be without three key men who are missing thanks to club commitments.
However Constantine refused to believe that it will have a huge bearing on the game. "They are a good side with many good players. Yeah, one may mention about their landing timing in Mumbai but you cannot take away their quality. Can you? Puerto Rico were one of the best movers in the FIFA Rankings. They are a very organised side," he said.
The Englishman also hinted at an ultra aggressive approach going into the match, "No, I am not going to change the way we play. We'll go for them. We will attack. That's the way we play. Even against Iran we tried to attack, so I am not going to change the way we play," said the 53-year-old coach.
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to sport the captain's armband
Constantine remained tight-lipped as ever when asked about his likely eleven for Saturday, but made a rather huge call by handing the captain's armband to goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu – a player who's made a name for himself with his exploits in the Norwegian League.
Appreciating Gurpreet's efforts of not just appear for in a top European league, but also to sticking around for three years, Constantine felt there could be more Indian players who could replicate the feat.
"People often say he went out to play abroad. But I would say that he stayed out there and continued. And in a country like Norway it's not easy at all and this guy has been fighting it out for the last three years," he noted.
The Sandhu-led Indian team is likely to line-up in a 4-2-3-1 formation as favoured by the coach since starting his second spell at the club. Sandesh Jhingan and Arnab Mondal are expected to feature at the heart of the Indian defence, flanked by Pritam Kotal or Rino Anto on the right and Narayan Das on the left.
In central midfield, Constantine faces a slight dilemma as he has to decide between going for safe approach or attack from word go. In case he chooses to be slightly stable in the midfield, Rowlin Borges could be seen partnering Pranoy Halder in central midfield, with Eugenson Lyngdoh pushing higher up the pitch. However, in a more fluid system, Lyndoh could find himself partnering Halder in a deeper role, giving Sumit Passi a place just behind striker Jeje in the side.
Sunil Chhetri and Jackichand Singh are expected to play on the left and right wings respectively.
India will have to be careful against a technically superior Puerto Rico side who are known for their passing game. "They love to keep the ball and play it around. They are technically very good. Once they are around the box they are very dangerous. Against USA they split open the rival defence with three touches," said the Indian national coach.
It will be a big occasion for Mumbai as the the refurbished Andheri Sports Complex will host city's first football match in 61 years. The venue that's located at the heart of the city is expected to be an ideal location for the Mumbai's football loving population who reside in pockets that have a good connectivity with the venue.
Having missed out on international action for more than six decades, Mumbai will hope India will make it a memorable return for the city to international action by claiming a rare and precious win over a higher ranked non-Asian team.

Carmelo Anthony arrived at the Garden more subdued than usual, more focused. Teammates were concerned. Nobody realized he was about to have the loudest, most historic night of his career and the most prolific game any Knick or the Garden ever had seen.
One game after it appeared his frustration level had hit a new low, Anthony made Friday a magical, memorable evening by scoring a franchise and Garden record 62 points, topping his idol Bernard King and Kobe Bryant, respectively.
Anthony's greatness carried the 16-27 Knicks to a 125-96 romp over the Bobcats to snap a five-game losing streak as the Garden crowd went bonkers and chanted his name most of the second half.
"It still feels surreal to me — no better feeling than having that feeling tonight on this home court,'' said Anthony, whose young son, Kiyan joined him in the giddy locker room. "The fans, I haven't heard them like that since last year. It was good to get that feeling back.''
It was a deluge of joy after a season of misery.
"We all needed it,'' Anthony said. "I needed it. We needed it as a team as a moral and confidence booster.''
Anthony, whose previous career high was 50 points, accomplished three times, racked up 20 after one quarter, 37 by halftime and carried 56 points into the fourth quarter.
The Garden crowd cheered each time he brought the ball upcourt in the third quarter, chanting "Me-lo,'' wanting more, wanting history. And they got it. He did it with Knicks legend Patrick Ewing on the Charlotte bench and against Michael Jordan's team.
"I'm sure he was watching it,'' Anthony said of Jordan. "I made history tonight with the performance, but just to be a part of that group of people. Only a small group of people know what that zone feels like.''
Ewing, whose career high was 51, did not like the fact Anthony lit up his team, but acknowledged it was a great performance.
Anthony hit 23 of 35 buckets — including six 3-pointers — and made all 10 of his free throws. His 62 points were complemented by 13 rebounds.
"He put on one of the great performances of our generation,'' Tyson Chandler said. "I'm just glad now a Knick player holds that [arena] record.''
Anthony scored the golden points on a beauty — spinning away from a double team on the low post and burying a running bank shot with 7:23 left. The Knicks called time out seconds later and, in a classy move, pulled him from the game with 7:18 left as the fans gave him a wild standing ovation — as did his giddy teammates.
The other Knicks took turns hugging him on the bench as he let loose with the biggest smile of this depressing season with free agency looming and his future murky.
"Teammates standing up with you, the laughter, seeing everyone smiling once again,'' said Anthony, who had cursed out a heckling fan in the final minutes of the prior game against the 76ers. "That's what I was more excited to see. Guys on the bench smiling high-fiving, having fun once again.''
The Knicks franchise record for points was King's 60, accomplished Christmas Day in 1984.
"If anyone was to break my Knicks record that I have held for so long, I'm absolutely delighted that it was Carmelo," King said through a spokesman.
Bryant's Garden record of 61 was set 2009. Coincidentally, the Lakers, who have some interest in Anthony as a free agent this summer with their cap space, visit the Garden on Sunday, but Bryant is injured.
"Coming into today's game, for some reason I had a different type of focus,'' Anthony said. "Guys had asked me what was wrong before the game. It was nothing wrong. Something in my head, I was locked in. Just a mindset tonight.
The fans chanted "We Want Melo'' for several minutes as play carried on without him in the final minutes. This was the first game of the season without injured Andrea Bargnani and the Knicks played loose and free, having a great time.
Coach Mike Woodson, unaware of Bryant's record, said he didn't want to burn out Anthony and tried to send Iman Shumpert into the game early in the fourth quarter when Anthony had 60 points. Woodson said Shumpert wouldn't go in.
"My teammates were telling me to go get it,'' Anthony said. "I was going to sub myself out. They were like, 'No way, you're not going to go back to sit on the bench.' Just for my teammates to be as enthused as everyone else, it put me over the top."
"I didn't come into the game thinking I'd score 62 points. I came in with the focus of winning the basketball game. I don't like to accept losing.''
With the Knicks (16-27) taking a 30-21 lead after the first, Anthony hit jumpers from all sectors, scoring 20 points on 8 of 10 shooting. Anthony capped his 37-point first half with what else — a buzzer-beating 41-foot halfcourt shot after getting the rebound and flashing upcourt. He got swarmed by teammates. and he didn't even crack a smile. All business.
"When I made the shot at half, I told myself the zone was there,'' Anthony said. "Only a couple of people know what that zone feels like.''
Before the game, Woodson had played a homemade video of Muhammad Ali, showing Knicks highlights with a voice-over of Ali's words of wisdom. Anthony has a couple of tattoos of Ali and admitted it was "inspirational.''
Anthony was 15 of 21 by halftime and hit his first five shots of the third quarter. In the opening period, Anthony scored seven of his eight field goals on jumpers from at least 14 feet. He had one monster slam-dunk on a drive, bursting past Anthony Tolliver. All seven of Anthony's field goals in the second quarter were from at least 16 feet. He broke his career high 50 on a fastbreak layup with 3:54 left in the third quarter.
Anthony played the game's first 19 minutes, which is not the usual rotation. Anthony usually comes out after one quarter.
"He was shooting it so easy and making shots from all over the place,'' Woodson said. "I looked at him. I have been in that position a few times the last two years with Melo when he has gotten on a roll and I was the one who cooled him. But this time I let him go.''
He never stopped, getting congrats from Walt Frazier afterward, having shot himself into history and perhaps giving him another reason to call the Garden home for a long while.

The downgrade of the U.S.'s AAA credit rating by Standard & Poor's darkens President Barack Obama's re-election chances while also damaging members of Congress from both parties as they prepare for the 2012 campaign, political analysts said.
With Obama's job-approval rating at 48 percent and an all- time high of 82 percent of Americans giving Congress negative marks in a New York Times/CBS News Poll taken this week, the downgrade will hurt the president and lawmakers by fueling economic uncertainty, possibly raising interest rates and wounding national pride, analysts said.
"Americans expect to be No. 1 at everything," said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean. A downgrade is "a great insult and humiliating to the country."
'You Opened My Eyes to the Catastrophic Enormity of This Financial Debacle'
Debt ceiling 'medicine will become the poison,' according to famed economist. Brace for economic meltdown. Watch the Aftershock Survival Summit Now, See the Evidence.
Added Bonjean, "If this brings rising interest rates on credit cards and mortgages, it is going to send a political shockwave throughout the system, and there will definitely be a 'throw-the-bums-out' mentality."
S&P's move deals a blow to Obama's political standing by giving Republican presidential candidates the chance to attack him for being the first U.S. president to preside over a downgrade, said Ross Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
"Most people understand the inability to satisfy the bond-ratings agencies was not Obama's alone" and that Congress gets "much more than half of the blame for this," Baker said. Still, he said, "Blame generally falls on the president when something like this happens."
'Deeply Troubling Indicator'
Republican presidential candidates who were quick to jump on Obama following the downgrade included former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the frontrunner in most polls, and U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who voted against the deficit-reduction deal enacted this week that prompted the S&P downgrade.
"America's creditworthiness just became the latest casualty" in Obama's "failed record of leadership on the economy," Romney said in a statement. The downgrade is "a deeply troubling indicator of our country's decline under" the president, he said.
Bachmann said S&P's action "is a historically significant and serious event for the United States." Obama "has destroyed the credit rating of the United States through his failed economic policies and his inability to control government spending by raising the debt ceiling," she said in a statement.
Deal 'Falls Short'
Obama, who left for the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland hours before the downgrade was made public, didn't immediately issue a response.
New York-based S&P lowered the AAA credit rating for the U.S. by one level, to AA+, in response to the deal that Obama and lawmakers reached that increased the government's $14.3 trillion debt limit to avoid a default. While Republicans, who control the U.S. House of Representatives, insisted that a deficit-reduction plan accompany the debt-limit increase, the accord reached in Washington was dismissed by S&P in its statement on the downgrade.
"The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics," the credit-rating service said.
The company also said it's "pessimistic about the capacity of Congress and the administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government's debt dynamics anytime soon."
Moody's, Fitch Reaffirm
The difficulty lawmakers had agreeing to the deficit- reduction package helped push S&P to cut the rating, the agency said, because it indicates how much trouble Congress will have addressing more fundamental budget issues.
Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings affirmed their AAA credit ratings for the U.S. on Aug. 2, the day Obama signed the bill ending the debt-ceiling impasse.
A person familiar with the discussions between the Treasury Department and S&P said Treasury officials objected to the methodology the agency used in issuing the downgrade and considered it a rush to judgment. The person said the differing verdicts from the agencies may limit the impact of the S&P move.
The debt deal includes $917 billion in spending cuts approved over the next decade intended as a down payment on further reductions. The agreement calls for a so-called super committee to be comprised of six Republican lawmakers and six Democrats charged with finding up to $1.5 trillion more in a report due by Nov. 23.
Automatic Cuts
If the committee is unable to agree on a plan or if its recommendations are rejected by Congress before year's end, there would be an automatic $1.2 trillion in across-the-board reductions put into effect, beginning in January 2013.
"One possible positive" of S&P's move could be that it prods the committee "into coming up with a big deficit- reduction package -- bigger than the $1.2 trillion called for in the 'trigger'," said Ajay Rajadhyaksha, managing director of Barclays Capital in New York.
S&P has issued increasingly insistent demands over the past year that lawmakers address long-term deficits. Last October, it said Congress had as many as five years to address the issue. In April, the agency said there was a one-in-three chance of a downgrade within two years. Last month, it said there was a 50 percent chance it would downgrade the government debt within 90 days without a "credible" deficit plan.
'Wake-Up Call'
Ten-year Treasury yields fell to as low as 2.33 percent in New York yesterday, the least since October. Treasury yields average about 0.70 percentage point less than the rest of the world's sovereign debt markets, Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes show. The difference has expanded from 0.15 percentage point in January.
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican and one of the architects of the deficit-reduction plan, reacted to the downgrade by saying "it is my hope this wake-up call will convince Washington Democrats that they can no longer afford to tinker around the edges of our-long debt problem."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat who also helped write the plan, said the announcement "reaffirms the need for a balanced approach to deficit reduction that combined spending cuts with revenue-raising measures."
Drawing a Line
Obama had been pushing throughout his talks with Republicans on the debt deal for what he termed the "balanced" approach that would include some measures to increase federal revenue along with spending cuts. While he was willing to accept tax increases that were dwarfed by spending reductions, Republicans drew a line against any policies that could be construed as raising taxes.
Senator Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican and favorite of the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement who voted against the debt deal, claimed vindication.
"The deal was not a serious attempt to solve our spending and debt problem -- it was a political solution meant to kick the can down the road," he said.
S&P, though, noted in its report that the failure to act on raising revenue also was a consideration in its decision.
"We lowered our long-term rating on the U.S. because we believe that the prolonged controversy over raising the statutory debt ceiling and the related fiscal policy debate indicate that further near-term progress containing the growth in public spending, especially on entitlements, or on reaching an agreement on raising revenues, is less likely than we previously assumed," the company said.
'Danger Zone'
S&P also changed its assumption that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush would expire by the end of 2012, "because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues."
Democratic strategist Bill Carrick said Republicans shouldn't view themselves as not also being in harm's way from the repercussions in the deficit dispute.
"The danger zone here for the Republicans is instead of being free to bash the president, now they are sort of part of the problem," said Carrick, who is based in Los Angeles. Republicans are vulnerable to criticism that they have an "unwillingness to compromise," he added.
More than four out of five people surveyed in the New York Times/CBS Poll said the debt-ceiling debate was more about gaining political advantage than doing what is best for the country. Republicans in Congress get more of the blame for the difficulties in reaching an agreement than the Democrats, according to the poll, conducted Aug. 2-3.
'Attack Ads'
The survey showed that 72 percent disapproved of the way Republicans in Congress handled the talks, while 66 percent disapproved of the conduct by Democrats. The poll of 960 adults has an error margin of plus-or-minus 3 percentage points.
Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the Washington-based Rothenberg Political Report, said S&P's skepticism over the capacity of Congress and the administration to leverage its agreement into a broader plan to address the debt should be "a kick in the behind for both parties."
Still, Bonjean, the Republican strategist based in Washington, said Obama will bear the brunt of the fallout from the downgrade.
"The attack ads will be cut instantly, because he's the president who was in charge when our country's downgraded for the first time in history," he said.
Referring to a trip Obama has scheduled Aug. 15-17, Bonjean also said, "I would not want to be President Obama on a bus tour through the Midwest listening to Americans who are out of work or had interest rates raised on their loans, or are fearful of economic instability."

IT all started as a laugh at a Monitor breakfast and ended up as an international incident. But peace has again settled in.
Just two days after the election, National Security Adviser Anthony Lake and National Economic Council director Robert Rubin came to breakfast. The assembled journalists wanted to talk politics, but our guests quickly shifted the focus to the upcoming meeting of the 18-member Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Indonesia.
The hullabaloo started after Mr. Lake told the group, ``One of the points of this trip to Asia is that the next six weeks could literally shake the world... . We are going to shake the economic architecture of the world of the next century.'' It was about here that a reporter piped up with this question: ``Will Guam be admitted to APEC?'' Both Lake and Mr. Rubin leaned back and laughed uproariously.
Lake turned to Rubin, but Rubin tossed the ball right back. And Lake then said, ``I guess I could say that the negotiations have not gotten to that point.'' Our two guests laughed again.
It so happened that David Judson of Gannett News Service, which has a paper on Guam, the Pacific Daily News, was seated at our table. Within hours, his paper was trumpeting the story in Page 1 headlines: ``Clinton Aides Laugh at Guam Membership in APEC.'' His lead: ``Psst! Hey buddy: Did you hear the joke about people in Guam thinking they are entitled to a seat at the table when the 18 members of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum meet next week in Indonesia. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.''
Guam was not amused. Guam Gov. Joseph Ada sent off a fiery letter to President Clinton, demanding that Lake and Rubin be fired unless they apologized. Demonstrators blocked the roads leading to the US Navy base in Guam.
Guam's delegate to the US House, Robert A. Underwood (D), then called Lake in Jakarta to tell him of ``the seriousness of the situation.''
In his article, Mr. Judson explained the backdrop to the incident as ``Guam's ongoing negotiations with the Clinton administration toward agreement to terms of a new status with the United States, ... which envisions allowance of Guam's participation in international organizations such as APEC...''
Lake and Rubin's apology came quickly: ``Any mirth at the meeting was not directed at Guam, but at our surprise at the question.'' They added that their laughter was misunderstood and they had nothing but respect for the people of Guam.
The two Guam officials who had protested just as quickly accepted the apology. Judson's follow-up story quoted Representative Underwood as saying: ``Lake was very respectful.... He also demonstrated an impressive understanding of Guam and he referred to Guam's potential for being a `bridge to Asia.' ''
At the time, I thought I was missing some in-house foreign-policy joke. Judson was the only reporter there who knew of Guam's active interest in joining APEC and how laughter like this would provoke such anger. But, as they say, all's well that ends well. Underwood was quoted as saying: ``There are a lot of silver linings to this cloud. I want to commend the governor and the protesters who have shown that the people of Guam are united.''

It is indeed the case that the proliferation of knowledge in the last century has produced a plethora of academic specializations each aiming at taking care of an ever smaller chunk of putative reality and developing ever more refined tool to do it. Academic specialization is a result of the idea of division of labor that ran parallel with industrial development that started in the late nineteenth century and continued until today. It is obvious how specialization carries advantages in many ways. With limited time and resources, it is not possible to excel in more than a small part of the whole, and in order to increase the depth of what is being studied, it has seemed to become necessary that more specialization is required. It seems that in order to go deeper and gain more knowledge at anything, one needs to delve into ever smaller bit, zooming in on it and analyzing it to finer details. In this atmosphere, the thinking is that the big picture—how every specific things all hang together—is left alone and somehow is believed to emerge spontaneously from the juxtapositions of these smaller bits.
However, it has become increasingly evident that this way of academic specialization is no longer able to answer to the needs of people and societies any longer. When academic disciplines go their own way in delving deeper and deeper in their own domains. they all branch out and go their separate ways. It is necessary that when each member of a group is equipped with a tool to enable them to zoom in on particular spots, they will each branch out and sooner or later will lose touch with each other completely. In biology, one may choose to study insects and another spiders, but when there are more insects to be studied the one who studies them finds that it is necessary for them to choose a particular species of insect, and so on; while the other who chose to study spiders do the same thing. Sooner or later the two biologists lose touch with each other. And this is only within the same academic discipline. One can then imagine what it would be like for, say, a historian of economic life in early Song dynasty and an entomologist specializing in life cycle of a butterfly species on an island south of Thailand to talk to each other and try to understand each other.
Many scholars such as Steve Fuller argued that academic specialization is a political tool for administrators to keep university lecturers in line. Specialization effectively prevents academics from understanding and collaborating with one another. This keeps them from establishing a united front against the administrators and hence academics, instead of becoming a potent political force, are strong only in their small domains where they are 'experts,' and are quite powerless outside. Since these small enclaves are scattered and unconnected to one another the political energy that could be harnessed is thus weakened. These scholars also note that academic specialization only mirrors the same trend outside of the academia. Politicians are keen of dividing people up, giving them profiles and categories. The British skillfully employed this 'divide and rule' tactic in their colonial administration in the early part of the last century.
Perhaps the above paragraph explains why it is very difficult to break away from this trend in specialization. Not only are most academics familiar with the trend, they feel comfortable and 'protected' within their small enclaves. Moreover they feel themselves to be powerful there and not outside, where they are not professionals but only lay people. Going beyond disciplines means that the academics lose their professional status and become only normal citizens. Moreover there are the political agenda as outlined above. Nonetheless, it has become actually necessary that academics who are producers of knowledge talk to one another and try to understand one another. The greatest danger of specialization lies not only in the weakened political force of the academics, but on academic disciplines losing out altogether in providing solutions and answers to the increasingly complex society and reality that we human beings are faced with at the onset of the twenty-first century. It is ironic that increased complexity would demand a rethink of specialization, but the picture of each knowledge seeker going out her own way digging her own way and branching out from her colleagues is no longer tenable. The reason is that it is impossible to get all the depths there are in all corners this way; zooming in on particular spots invariably means one is losing out on the whole picture. Today's reality, with greater interconnectedness due to communication technologies and other means, is vastly more complex than the one studied by scientists in the late nineteenth century when the idea of specialization took hold. Nonetheless it is well documented that the world in the early part of the twenty-first century demands that one gets the big picture—how everything is related to everything else. This complexity does not merely need collaborative efforts among different disciplines, but there is also a need for a 'transdisciplinary' endeavor which means going beyond disciplinary boundaries altogether.
This need for transdisciplinary fusion is not only the case among the knowledge domains themselves, but perhaps more importantly between the domains and that of value. Ethics and epistemology, value and knowledge, have become separated for more than a century, due to the belief that the two answers totally different questions and are completely different in their orientations. The realm of 'ought,' so it was argued, is not to be confused with that of 'is.' The former tells what one 'ought' or 'ought not' to do; whereas the other tells us what 'is' or 'is not' the case. In the paper I intend to discuss this issue, relying on the works of the European philosopher Baruch de Spinoza, and the Indian Buddhist master Nāgārjuna. More specifically, I intend to show how the insights of these two masters, who lived far apart both in time and in space, could provide us with much needed tools and vocabularies in help us in exploring the uncharted space of transdisciplinarity, especially concerning the unity of knowledge and value.
In the Ethics, Spinoza shows that God is equated with Nature, and in fact with everything in the universe, which is in fact an attribute of Him. In other words, in Spinoza's vision everything is God and is in God at the same time; everything is one and the same in one aspect and there are infinite variety of infinitely many things at the same time. In Spinoza's words: "No attribute of a substance can be truly conceived from which it follows that the substance can be divided." This means that there is only one thing. The substance here means God Himself, which for Spinoza is one and the same with reality. God appears at once as one entity and as infinitely many aspects of it. Both subject and object are only aspects of God; hence they are fundamentally one and the same. Minds and bodies are thus essentially the same; it is only through our finite minds that these are conceived as separate entities. In another theorem, he says "Whatever exists is in God, and nothing can exist or be conceived without God." Since the substance or God (which is the same) cannot be divided and since anything that exists exists in God, everything is in God and is part of God.
The insight one gets from Spinoza is, then, that in our attempts to chart the transdisciplinary space, we realize that essentially things are one and the same, and all the differences there are between things are only appearances at the superficial level. Seemingly intractable differences, such as those between the humanistic and scientific disciplines, or between ethics and science, are thus only superficial, and deep down things are one and the same. The space, then, looks like that of Spinoza's God with His infinite variety of modes and attributes. Boundaries are illusions created to serve mundane, temporary purposes; once this is realized then boundaries fall away and the transdisciplinary space reveals itself. It is a space where concepts are not taken as objectively real. Words can mean one thing or another, totally unrelated thing. There is always a constant flux between concepts. Since disciplinary boundaries are constructed through concepts the transdisciplinary space then arises when concepts are in constant flux and there is a "playful" attributions or interconnections among them. Words and concepts are not fixed forever through a system of "objectively real" scheme of meaning; on the contrary, their meaning structures are what are played upon. At one time one may fix on a particular conceptual scheme, but one may change to another, totally different scheme the next moment, or dispense with all schemes altogether and perceive reality as it really is—totally devoid of all conceptualizations and dualities.
The vision is also a Buddhist one. And a corollary to the theme of the paper I also show that Spinoza and Nāgārjuna share much more in common than scholars have standardly assumed. Here 'God,' 'Substance,' 'Emptiness' (śūnyatā) and 'Nirvāna' are words that refer to the same thing. That thing includes everything there is, and we are all parts of it. In Mūlamādhayamakakārika, Nāgārjuna provides us with a description and logical analysis of Emptiness. Reality as normally conceived—that which we normally taken to be real and consists of things like tables, chairs and so on—is in fact one and the same, and differences among discrete 'things' like tables and chairs are merely constructed out of our conceptualization which we have to depend on in making meaningful statements and in comprehending reality that faces us in our living. However, both Spinoza and Nāgārjuna invite us to penetrate beyond these conceptualizations. They help us create a map of the transdisciplinary space, a map which is odd from the beginning (and might not be eligible to be a 'map' at all) in that it lies on the brink of breaking down of conceptualizations and hence intelligibility.
This is why the philosophies of Spinoza and Nāgārjuna are so difficult to propound. Dissolving fixed conceptualization means that language as normally used, which presupposes the dualistic idea enshrined in symbolic logic as the law of bivalence or of non-contradiction, is only "playful tool." In the non-dualistic world, and so in the proposed transdisciplinary space, non-contradictions are on about the same level as contradictions. They are not separated into what is acceptable or not acceptable as in standard logic. This runs a real risk of breaking down in communication and intelligibility. Nonetheless, in realizing the vision and in charting the map, language is indispensable, and we need to live with this risk, always realizing that conceptualizations are only putative and through language one cannot get at the direct oneness with reality which after all is one and the same as ourselves from the beginning. The transdisciplinary space where value and knowledge are unified is then an exhilarating place to be in.

I built one out of Cedar and one out of Redwood. Each have a matching ottoman. I back reclines. I got the plane from PeachTree. My father and I built one for a local charity and it sold at auction for 400.00.

I love these chairs!!!! They look outstanding!
How much were the plans for these chairs?? I would LOVE to build these chairs. I have been looking all summer long for plans for these chairs, but nothing has really caught my eyes until I saw these! Would love a link or website name to be able to get these plans from.

Beautiful chairs. I like your handle too, Sawdust and an IPA, sounds like my shop…
I wouldn't mind seeing the plans either, Adirondack Chairs are on my list.
Well done -

Hi guys,
I wanted to follow up on the kind comments and answer a couple of questions. I purchased the plans from woodcraft and they can be found at woodcraftplans.com for 9.95. I purchased a couple of sets. The first set was the chair only. I was turned on to the plan because of the adjustable back system. After making the first one, it became apparent that this plan was "the bomb." So I purchased a second set of plans that included a chair, a matching ottomon and a double chair bench. I then took the next step and using 1/4" hard board cut templates for every piece. I was going to make a bunch of them.
The finish is Cabot's High Gloss Spar. After a couple of chairs in, I learned the best way to apply the spar is to mix it 50-50 with spirits and apply it by rubbing it on and then wiping off the excess. Giving it 2 hours to dry, a light sand and then apply again. The final coat of the 6 is full strength. Thanks again and happy woodworking!

We've heard good things about this place but having never been a fan of Chinese cuisine we've given a miss, well until now obviously.
I have to say since the visit I have a better opinion of the cuisine but again I'd argue this is one of the best places to chow down – excuse the pun.
Chinese Cricket Club is part of the Crown Plaza Hotel in Blackfriars, which is swanky and centrally situated. Usually restaurants in hotels have a bad rep but this goes against the stereotype.
The restaurant itself is uber modern with green leather seats, bamboo entrance and subtle nods to the cricket theme. Well played.
They have a selection of menus including the express lunch – which is handy for a business lunch- but we went for the al a carte option.
We ordered the steak fillet in black bean sauce and the crispy soft shell crab along with egg fried rice to share. The fillet was beautiful, it melted in the mouth and the sauce was spicy and salty. Just perfect. The rice was a far cry from the egg fried rice you find at you're local take away, light, fluffy and subtly flavoured. The soft shell crab on the other hand was very dry, to the point where it honestly felt that there was no meat left. The batter was all that seemed to remain. It was a shame as on the whole we were very satisfied.
In terms of atmosphere, people seem to dine later in the afternoon and, unsurprisingly based on location and price, it's more often than not filled with loud city types. It's not cheap here but quality reflects this (despite the crab dish). Apparently the thing to order here is a whole crispy duck. We might try next time.
This place is definitely impressive and worth giving a go if you like Chinese cuisine that's more upmarket than China Town however this comes at a price and the occasional oversight from the kitchen lets it down.

Two men, in a savage desert, pursue day and night an unknown body of Indians into the defiles of an unknown mountain — attack them on sight, without counting numbers — and defeat them in an instant — and for what ? To punish the robbers of the desert, and to avenge the wrongs of Mexicans whom they did not know. I repeat: it was Carson and Godey who did this — the former an American^ born in the...
Page 70 - Having now made what observations our means afforded, we proceeded to descend. We had accomplished an object of laudable ambition, and beyond the strict order of our instructions. We had climbed the loftiest peak of the Rocky Mountains, and looked down upon the snow a thousand feet below, and, standing where never human foot had stood before, felt the exultation of first explorers.
Page 69 - Putting hands and feet in the crevices between the blocks, I succeeded in getting over it, and, when I reached the top, found my companions in a small valley below. Descending to them, we continued climbing, and in a short time reached the crest I sprang upon the summit, and another step would have precipitated me into an immense snow field five hundred feet below.

They informed us, that after Fuentes left them, from the failure of his horse, they continued the pursuit alone, and towards nightfall entered the mountains, into which the trail led.

Our guide was standing by the fire with all his finery on ; and seeing him shiver in the cold, I threw on his shoulders one of my blankets. We missed him a few minutes afterwards, and never saw him again. He had deserted. His bad faith and treachery were in perfect keeping with the estimate of Indian character, which a long intercourse with this people had gradually forced upon my mind.

California girl, 12, among youngest yogis in US
ENCINITAS, California (AP) — Jaysea DeVoe, a popular Southern California yoga instructor who leads a weekly class through the lion, monkey, upward-facing dog and other poses, has three years of experience — and she's only 12 years old.
The Encinitas girl recently completed a five-month, 200-hour certification program with two girlfriends, ages 13 and 15, U-T San Diego reported Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1hWA6ap ).
Now she has joined the staff at Bergamot Spa in her hometown, making her one of the nation's youngest certified yoga instructors.
"I love how yoga makes my body feel and my soul," said Jaysea, who discovered the practice at age 9. "It's such a spiritual practice where I can meditate, turn the music on and flow through the poses."
Lindsay Russo, a yogi who helped teach Jaysea, said the 12-year-old is focused and enthusiastic. That passion brings more than a dozen devoted students, from grade-schoolers to adults, to the girl's Tuesday class. She typically earns $100 per class at the donation-only yoga studio.
"Her classes have been completely sold, and the students come in excited and leave happy," Channing Toro, director of Bergamot Spa, told the newspaper. "All the feedback we've gotten is that there's a great energy in her classes."
Since word has gotten out about Jaysea, she has made regular appearances in media, including on the "Good Morning America" and Good Morning Britain" TV shows.
She remains composed — even serene — through all the attention. She said she likes to focus her energy instead on making her class as enjoyable as possible for students. She burns incense and plays songs that reflect her own sunny outlook on life, including Pharrell Williams' "Happy" and Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy."
Jaysea hopes to make a career out of yoga instruction.
"For me, teaching yoga isn't work, it's more like having fun and bringing the community together," she said.
Pursuing a vocation early is not only encouraged but expected in the DeVoe family. Jaysea's twin brother, Fisher, is an NSSA amateur surfer sponsored by the wet suit maker O'Neill, and her brother Ryder, 15, is a free diver sponsored by the apparel-maker Salt Life.
Encinitas, a coastal city of 60,000 people in San Diego County, made headlines last year when a couple sued the school district for teaching yoga as part of the curriculum. They argued it violated their religious freedom and promoted non-Christian religion, citing yoga's roots in Eastern religions. The school district said the program as taught was secular, and a judge threw out the lawsuit.

The name May is a girl's name of English origin. May and is often added to lists like Old Lady Names and discussed in our forums with posts like "Quick Question Thread?!".
From the experts:
May is a sweet old-fashioned name that hasn't been on the national charts in several decades, but is definitely sounding fresh and springlike. Parents are beginning to see it once more as one of the prettiest middle name options. May was as high on the list as Number 57 in the 1880s; it's now 228 on Nameberry.
May started as one of the innumerable pet forms of Mary and Margaret, as well as a springtime month name along with April and June. She's represented in literature by May Bartram in Henry James's The Beast in the Jungle and May Welland in Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence.
Actresses Emily Morton and Madeline Stowe named their daughters May, and Eric Clapton and Jodie Sweetin used it in middle place for theirs.

Lullabies: Songs from the Home
Lullabies are perhaps one's first encounter with music. These are first heard and learned at home and are sung by the mother. Like other folk songs, they are handed down orally from one generation to the next, and hearing them again somehow brings about a sense of nostalgia.
Lullabies are sung to lull or put a baby or child to sleep. Like other lullabies, "Philippine lullabies tend to be soporific in tune and sometimes repetitious in text." (Eugenio 1996) The slow and steady swaying of the cradle mimics the rhythm of the song. The text or lyrics of the song also express meaningful messages that often describe family life or impart messages such as a mother's high hopes for her child when he or she grows up.
In the various regions of the Philippines, lullabies are sung or performed in various text or lyrics. The word lullaby is known in various terms such as uyayi or oyayi, hulu na, hele na, halo na, and hili na, which means "Close your eyes now" (Bañas 1975). It is also known as tumaila in Kapampangan and langan bata' bata' in Tausug.
As lullabies are sung and passed on from generation to generation, the child is not only lulled to sleep, but is also acquainted with one's culture as well as stories, lessons, and values from the family.

He couldn't get going in his native Bohemia due to a surplus of priests so he set sail for America.
This was still very wide open and he was shunted off in a wagon to Lake Ontario Pennsylvania West where German immigrants tended to end up. All very primitive with a shack for a church and mass wherever there was a spare kitchen table.
Here he became a U.S. citizen and joined the Redemptionists. This got him a move to Baltimore and he progressed to becoming Bishop of Philadelphia.
Now he got going on all cylinders. He built ninety churches and started eighty schools. Meanwhile he was learning Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Gaelic so he could speak to the immigrants himself.
Small, shabby and hard-up, he was so poor he only ever possessed one pair of shoes — until the day he died. For his funeral he was turned out in a brand new pair, even though there was no longer need to keep body and sole together.

Symptom Checker
Step 4: Read and complete the decision guide to learn more about your symptoms.
Intestinal Gas Guide
Weight loss or diarrhea are symptoms that might happen because your digestion is impaired, a medical problem that is termed malabsorption. Malabsorption may cause either persistent diarrhea, weight loss, yellow and oily stools with an exaggerated foul odor, or a combination of these symptoms. These symptoms may be related to your gas complaint.
Malabsorption is a serious problem because it prevents you from getting adequate nutrition.
Symptoms that suggest malabsorption require an evaluation by your physician.
