Soccer fans consider themselves experts on whether a player has been fouled within the opposing team's goal mouth area ("the box"), or outside of it. A foul committed inside the box brings a penalty kick for the victim's team.
Until very recently, lawyers considered themselves similarly skilled in knowing whether or not a contractual provision was a penalty clause. A penalty clause requires a party who commits a breach of contract to pay the innocent party a pre-agreed amount of damages that exceeds the actual loss the innocent party suffers as a result of the breach. The idea is to dissuade the party from committing the breach. Conversely, a clause containing a genuine pre-estimate of the loss that would be sustained on breach is not a penalty clause.
Persuading a judge that a clause qualified as a penalty clause was a great benefit to the party in breach. That is because the English courts would not enforce a penalty clause. So it became standard practice for the lawyer for a party in breach of contract to plead that a contractual clause requiring his client to pay a set amount of damages for that breach was unenforceable. It was unenforceable because it was a penalty clause. Just as a footballer tackled within the opposing team's box will instinctively shout plaintively to the referee, "Penalty!" a lawyer faced with a clause requiring his client to pay pre-agreed damages would likely do the same to the court, albeit adopting a more respectful tone. If the court agreed and struck down the clause, then the innocent party would have to prove by evidence at trial the extent of its actual loss, just as if the contract had not contained the penalty clause in the first place.
As a result of the decisions in two recent Supreme Court appeals heard together,[1] it is now apparent that many lawyers were not quite as skilled in identifying penalty clauses as they may have liked to think. In fact, all seven Supreme Court Justices confirmed that for the past century, many legal professionals have been applying the wrong test to identify when a clause is a penalty clause. Fortunately, the Supreme Court also provided the correct test to identify a penalty clause. In the future, the application of the correct test will likely make the courts far more reluctant to categorise clauses that pre-set amounts payable on breach as penalty clauses.
The Clauses Before the Supreme Court on the Two Appeals
In Cavendish Square Holding BV v Talal El Makdessi, the Supreme Court considered whether provisions in a share sale agreement that significantly restricted the earn-out consideration payable to the vendors if they breached it were penalty clauses. It is common in share sale agreements for a portion of the purchase price (the consideration) to be payable only if certain post-sale conditions are met, and only if the vendor complies with restrictions on his future commercial activities. The restrictions are designed to protect the newly acquired interest of the purchaser of the shares in the goodwill of the business. All the more so where the vendor is retained by the purchaser as a director or consultant to grow the newly acquired business.
In this case, Mr Makdessi and Mr Ghossoub together owned 87.4 percent of the shares in the holding company of a leading marketing and advertising communications group that they had built up in the Middle East ("the Makdessi business"). Cavendish Square Holdings BV ("Cavendish"), which is part of the global market communications group WPP, held the remaining 12.6 percent.
Under a 28 February 2008 agreement, Cavendish ultimately acquired further shares from Mr Makdessi and Mr Ghossoub, which left Cavendish with 60 percent of the shares in the holding company of the Makdessi business. Mr Makdessi's and Mr Ghossoub's combined shareholding was reduced to the remaining 40 percent. The $65 million purchase price was payable in one tranche on completion and then the two remaining tranches were staggered over three years as an interim payment and then a final payment.
Mr Makdessi entered into a service agreement with the holding group to serve as its non-executive chair. In recognition of the goodwill of the Makdessi business in which Cavendish had invested so heavily, and of the need to protect that goodwill, Mr Makdessi undertook not to compete in any way with the Makdessi business. If he did breach that obligation, then:
- clause 5.1 prevented him from receiving both the interim payment and the final payment, which for Mr Makdessi was a loss of $45 million, and
- clause 5.2 gave Cavendish an option to force him to sell to it his remaining shares at a formula that excluded any goodwill from the forced sale price.
Mr Makdessi admitted that he had breached his undertaking. His legal team pleaded that clauses 5.1 and 5.2 were penalty clauses, which the court should strike down as being unenforceable.
The second appeal, ParkingEye Limited v Beavis, concerned a parking fine of £85 levied on a motorist who had exceeded his two hours' free parking permission at the Riverside Retail car park in Chelmsford. He refused to pay, contending that the charge was a penalty clause.
Identifying a Penalty Clause: The Wrong Test
As well as being a Justice of the Supreme Court, Lord Sumption JSC is an outstanding medieval historian and has been regarded as the leading author in the English-speaking world on the Hundred Years War. It is therefore apt that before addressing the facts of the appeals, he started his joint opinion on the two appeals with Lord Neuberger by tracing the history of the rule against penalty clauses and how it has been misunderstood. He referred to the comments of Lord Dunedin in 1915 in Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage and Motor Co Ltd,[2] and noted that whilst they had been intended as guidance to assist in the identification of a penalty clause in appropriate circumstances, lawyers had since elevated that guidance to a statutory code to be applied in every single case in which one party pleaded that a clause was penal. His guidance was that:
"(a) the provision would be penal if 'the sum stipulated for is extravagant and unconscionable' in amount in comparison with greatest loss that could conceivably prove to have followed from the breach'; (b) that the provision would be penal if the breach consisted only in the non-payment of money and it provided for the payment of a larger sum; (c) that there was a 'presumption (but no more)' that it would be penal if it was payable in a number of events of varying gravity; and (d) that it would not be treated as penal by reason only of the impossibility of precisely pre-estimating the true loss."
Lord Sumption explained that the courts' post- Dunlop approach of trying to fit the potential penalty clause into one of Lord Dunedin's four categories was wrong. So is lawyers' subsequent distillation of it into the simple question of whether the clause is a penalty or a genuine pre-estimate of loss. So, too, is our attempt to apply it in more complex cases than simple claims for damages.
It is the wrong test.
Identifying a Penalty Clause: The Right Test and Its Application
Each of the Supreme Court Justices then removed the test for a penalty clause far away from the confines of the old "wrong test" of genuine pre-estimate of loss versus deterrent or punishment provision to enforce compliance with the primary obligation. In Mr Makdessi's case, the primary obligation had been to obey the non-compete clause. In Mr Beavis' case, the primary obligation had been to move his car before two hours had expired. Each of the Supreme Court Justices agreed that a party can contract to protect a legitimate interest in having the counter-party perform its primary obligation. It is important to note that legitimate interest can extend beyond merely receiving damages for a breach of the primary obligation.
On the first appeal, Cavendish had a legitimate interest in Mr Makdessi's observing the non-competition clause in order to protect the goodwill in the Makdessi business in which it had invested. It was entitled to protect the goodwill by not paying Mr Makdessi the interim and final payments and by forcing a sale of his shares without accounting for goodwill. Clause 5.1 was not a penalty clause. It was a price adjustment clause.
As for Mr Beavis' appeal, the Supreme Court ruled that ParkingEye Limited also had a legitimate interest in securing the observation of the two-hour parking rule. Although ParkingEye Limited would not suffer any loss by the presence of Mr Beavis' car beyond 2 hours, in charging £85, it was protecting its interest in achieving the maximum level of availability of car parking space so as to increase customer footfall and therefore potential purchases at the Riverside Retail centre.
But the charge could not be out of all proportion to that legitimate interest. There still appears to be some life left in the rule that penalty clauses are unenforceable. Following the Makdessi and Beavis appeals, we now know that the correct test to determine whether a contractual clause is penal is:
"whether the impugned provision is a secondary obligation which imposes a detriment on the contract-breaker out of all proportion to any legitimate interest on the innocent party in the enforcement of the primary obligation. The innocent party can have no proper interest in simply punishing the defaulter."
Those drafting commercial contracts which provide for payments on breach may wish to consider setting out their client's legitimate interests in the recitals section of those contracts. In addition, those litigating such contracts may wish to be more circumspect in raising the clamour of "Penalty!" as often as footballers do in their matches.

Interview with Debra Harry and the Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism
To the Indigenous people of Kennewick, Washington, he was Techaminsh Oytpamanatityt – 'From the Land, the First Native': the Ancient One. His body was accidentally exhumed from the ground where he had lain for over 9,000 years. The five American Indian tribes with ties to that land wanted his remains once again laid to rest. With thousands of other Native human remains sitting on dusty shelves in museums and institutions all over the US, the tribes were united in requesting his return to the earth so that his body could be given the respect it deserved.
But he is not a Native American, said the scientists. Just look at his head size. Indeed, said one, his cranium is like Star Trek's Captain, Jean-Luc Picard. And the spear tip in his side looks like it has come from France. He has no affiliation with these five tribes. He appears to be Caucasian – a migrant, as are we all.
So the science journals and archaeological debates dubbed him 'Kennewick Man'. And the courts rejected his repatriation. The Society for American Archaeology embraced their rejection as 'restoring the balance between the interests of science and those of Native Americans'.
Yet this use of science was far more political – another attempt to sever the links that Native Americans have with their past in order to cut them off from any tangible claims in their present. As Debra Harry explains: 'Indigenous peoples live in resource-rich territories. If you can deny people access to their own ancestors and culture, then you can deny them access to their territories and resources. It's all about ownership and control over resources.'
Debra Harry – a Northern Paiute Native American who grew up on the Pyramid Lake reservation in Nevada – spearheads the Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism (IPCB): an organization that she helped create, which assists Indigenous peoples to protect their genetic resources. When I speak with her, she has just returned from Brazil where she worked to demystify the language and practice of genetics for those whose very blood and bones are now vulnerable to exploitation.
'In April this year the National Geographic Society and the IBM Corporation announced the launch of their five-year, $40 million "Genographic Project", which aims to collect, store and analyze 100,000 blood samples from Indigenous peoples around the world. The project will create a research database and new media for distribution that will undoubtedly generate new sources of revenue... [Those running the project] say they want to chart new knowledge about the migratory history of the human species and answer age-old questions surrounding the genetic diversity of humanity. They plan to pose questions such as: "Could Europeans have migrated to the Americas thousands of years ago?" and "Who are the Aboriginal inhabitants of Indonesia?" The very basis of being Indigenous is that you are of the land. Our rights are based on our original inhabitation of the territories we occupy. So a claim that challenges the aboriginality of certain Indigenous people could pose a serious threat. Even though the results of this type of research are speculative, we have no doubt that these findings would be used as a political weapon against us.'
And a social weapon too. 'Our oral histories tie us to the territories that we've occupied since the very beginnings of time,' says Harry, describing the heritage that will also be challenged by the Genographic Project. Before the DNA of Indigenous peoples is sampled, they will be asked to sign a consent form saying: 'It is possible that some of the findings that result from this study may contradict an oral, written or other tradition held by you or by members of your group.' Harry is incredulous: 'This is pitting one knowledge system against another. You can't use one knowledge system to trump another!'
In stark contrast to this scientific approach, Harry explains how her traditional name links her to her past, present and future purpose. Her namesake – Eagle Horse Woman – means that she has a responsibility to be a warrior for her people. Like the eagle – that flies high and looks far ahead – her advocacy is heard on the reservations one day and at a United Nations conference in Brazil the next. And like the horse – carrying the burden of the people on her back – she is building a movement to protect indigenous knowledge, cultural and human rights from biotechnology piracy; travelling around the world to explain to Indigenous peoples how their genetic material can be misused.
'They get it as soon as I compare indigenous systems with IPR (intellectual property rights of the kind that will underpin the Genographic Project). IPR is a specific body of Western property law in which our genetic material becomes a commodity that can be alienated. Monopoly rights are given to the inventor or innovator. It is a system that cannot – and will not – benefit us. [By contrast] the Indigenous view is that our genetic materials are sacred, inalienable and collectively owned, and our rights are inherent. While scientists may believe that they can define us, our wisdom – protected and passed down through the generations – will prevail.'

Written for the March 2009 issue of Housing Washington. Housing Washington is a statewide newsletter published by the Low Income Housing Institute. Housing Washington focuses on the politics and events surrounding affordable housing in Washington state. http://www.lihi.org/housingWashington.html
The Housing Levy is also Symbolic
The Seattle Housing Levy is important for two reasons. First, the levy provides funds that preserves existing affordable housing and produces new affordable housing, improving the quality of life of our neighbors and community. Second, the levy is a highly symbolic act where citizens ratify efforts to address Seattle's shortage of affordable housing.
While the numbers seem large, housing levies would have a very limited impact on the availability of affordable housing without leveraging federal, state, local and private resources. We are so short of affordable housing that no effort to solve the problem by building new permanently affordable housing appears possible without a historic shift in public outlook. In Seattle, a $100 million levy dedicated to building new permanent housing outright would build perhaps 400 housing units over five to eight years against a shortage of many thousands today. The current recession will put us further behind. The inability to focus on permanently affordable housing is unfortunate because the public receives the greatest benefit (return on investment) from permanently affordable housing – subsidized housing owned by the public or mission-driven nonprofit organizations.
All levies feature a bewildering variety of solutions carefully crafted to maximize leverage from other funding entities. Strategies include financing permanently affordable housing, supporting the private development of term-limited affordable housing, home buyer assistance and rental assistance, among others. The objective of most affordable housing programs is to provide quality housing at an affordable price relative to income. A subset of affordable housing is targeted to groups that need a combination of housing support and services that together may exceed the cost of free housing, including housing the homeless. However, providing free housing to extremely disadvantaged or troubled individuals and families has been shown to save money when the social and economic costs of not providing decent housing, such as emergency services, is included. Understanding this paradox is the historic shift in public outlook we are working towards. Like the closely related issue of health care, education by circumstance may be the only meaningful agent of change. If our current recession persists and worsens, our common education may be at hand.
Two issues related to affordable housing levies remain relatively unexamined. First, how do we move more term-limited affordable housing into the permanently affordable column? Much can be done in this area. For instance, all publicly supported term-limited affordable housing should feature a transferable option for public purchase at a pre-set price and first right-of-refusal on subsequent sales. We should not buy the same affordable housing benefits over and over. Second, how does the Byzantine myriad of housing standards impact our ability to provide decent housing now? While publicly-supported affordable housing standards typically exceed the actual conditions of lower-income households, the discrepancy is glaring for homeless individuals and households. Our high-minded standards are a huge barrier to providing publicly supported permanent or semi-permanent housing to the homeless. Secure and comfortable tent cities are not only possible, they are provided to refugees all over the world. We can do far better than overnight shelters without getting anywhere near HUD standards – and it's time we do. There are times we should temporize standards in favor of a higher good.
In recent times, Seattleites have shown a willingness to invest in their future, voting for libraries, parks and transit when measures have clearly articulated future benefits that serve the common good. The generosity of Seattleites in their support of housing levies has been good, passing long-term levies in 1981, 1986, 1995 and 2002. Seattleites even supported the failed over-reaching $150 million county-wide levy in the midst of the 1992 recession. The symbolism of the levy can not be overstated.
Direct citizen support for levies creates momentum for change, gives politicians cover to support affordable housing efforts beyond levy funding, and upholds our view of Seattle as a compassionate place – however short we fall in execution. In addition, the high quality of publicly financed affordable housing provides an aspirational standard for all housing.
In formulating a new housing levy, we need to keep these principles in mind:
- The bulk of benefits should be targeted to the least fortunate
- Deal terms should provide opportunities for future public purchase (when the housing supported is not permanently affordable)
- High standards should not interfere with providing homeless people a permanent address
And since the need is so great, the levy should be as large as we believe the public will support.

[Journal of Allen McCoy, juror during Jack Ruby trial]
Description: Handwritten notes of Jack Ruby trial juror Allen McCoy. These notes detail McCoy's experience being selected to serve on the jury but do not cover the trial itself. There are 18 pages of handwritten notes. The writing is on both the front and back of the pages and each page is numbered (1 - 36). Jury selection for the Ruby trial began in early 1964. McCoy's notes describe how he was summoned for jury duty in February and how he knew in his heart that he would be selected to serve on the jury for Jack Ruby's trial. McCoy ran out of paper before the trial began. The trial ended on March 14, 1964 when the jury found Jack Ruby guilty of murder with malice.

The City Council approved at the Dec. 7 meeting the location of another communications facility, a decision over which they have little control.
A 26-inch-tall by 2-inch-diameter antenna and an equipment cabinet will be mounted on an existing utility pole in the Ramona Avenue right-of-way behind the Chevron Station at 604 S. Coast Hwy. The location was approved by the Planning Commission after three hearings and appealed by Mayor Toni Iseman.
"I appealed this because we [the council] have not exercised all the power we have," Iseman said. "We have just said 'uncle.' "

This video from the Beyond Belief (2007) series really encapsulates my feelings about the label 'Atheist'.
There are some people out there that would prefer to relabel non-belief to escape the negative connotations that are popularly associated with it, but I would much more prefer to retain the label and show, through my actions, that the popular myths are untrue. This is the basis of the Sydney Atheists 'Good Without God' slogan.
I feel that if we can show that there is nothing that the church can deliver that cannot be obtained through secular means, while also exposing the damage that religious belief can cause, we will be able to show the community that to believe in a god offers no merit and only muddies the waters. By offering the same positives as religion does, along with encouraging clear thinking, inquisitiveness and rationality, we would actually be offering people a chance to grow and improve upon themselves.
I am happy to call myself an atheist.
I am a proud atheist.
I feel so full of life and excited that through reason, evidence and rationality we can further our knowledge of the world and beyond, without needing to rely on a supernatural proposition to help make sense of it all.

Our proposal was accepted by over 60 voting country government representative official delegates at the recent United Nations COP23 as being uniquely able could actually deliver of us, (yes all of us) from runaway devastating climate change!
Our aim is to provide the world with a workable climate solution to stop runaway climate change
COP23 Ambition Scenario: 2 tonnes of Carbon per person per year by 2022
We, (at 2Tonnes of Carbon Limited) are a part of the Green Economics Institute, an official RINGO of the COP, and after speaking to delegates of over 50 countries at the COP23, we think a 2 tonnes of carbon by 2022 seems to be the optimal solution.
In order to operationalize the Paris Agreement successfully (and to avoid disappointment over non-delivery at COP23), the solution unofficially supported by over 50 nations at COP23 appears to be the following:
We calculate 2 tonnes of carbon per person per year by 2022, based on the following data.
– Today, NASA data shows is 0.99 degrees of warming.
– Paris COP21 would actually deliver 3.2 degrees of warming.
– The Paris COP21 ambition is 1.5 degrees.
– Actual INDC delivery COP21 is 3.2.
Our scenario appears to deliver just under 1.5 degrees of warming (since 1880).
Approximately 36 gigatons divided by 7.6Billion (human population) = average 4.9 tonnes of carbon usage per person per year TODAY. Therefore, today's average carbon usage per person is 4.9 carbon (2017).
All the data and all the accumulating extreme climate events indicate that this is a disaster. As an academic institute, you know and we know that this is a disaster unfolding before our eyes. The world is looking to us at COP23 to solve this problem.
All prediction models appear to be correct but they are too slow- it is happening even faster.
Our proposal is therefore: immediately ratchet down to 2 TONNES OF CARBON PER PERSON BY 2022 AS AN AMBITION OF COP23. (Just as 1.5 was an ambition of COP21 and has become the lingua franca.) All states with below 2 tonnes per person per year would then take a global leadership role.
This proposal clearly appears to have serious traction and support from representatives and delegates from nearly 50 nations, and will satisfy, reassure and save the people whose lives and livelihoods are at risk and already suffering. We cannot fiddle while the world burns.
The world's population, particularly the young, the small island states, and African nations, will not thank us for not ensuring an actual solution at COP23.
Therefore, we would like COP23, Poland, to consider the following ambition:
2 TONNES OF CARBON PER PERSON BY 2022 will deliver just under 1.5 degrees of warming.
Globally, in our scenario, in 2022, 2 tonnes of carbon x 7.6 billion humans = 15.2 gigatons of carbon, which appears to deliver a much better prospect for humanity- even better than the Paris Agreement

The youth-written stories in Represent give inspiration and information to teens in foster care while offering staff insight into those teens' struggles.
Social and Emotional Learning
The Long Road to Recovery
Story Summary: The writer is sexually assaulted by her friend, and she keeps it a secret for months until a failed suicide attempt prompts her to write about the experience. After showing her writing to an English teacher and guidance counselor, she gains the courage to tell her mother. Opening up helps her to rebuild her confidence and love herself again.
Goals for SEL Growth
• Students make personal connections to a text and successfully participate in story-based activities and discussions.
• Students reflect on self-management strategies that can help them cope with difficult emotions.
• Students reflect on the people in their lives they can turn to for support.
• Students identify the pros and cons of keeping secrets that may affect their emotional and academic well-being.
Before Reading the Story (10 min)
This opening activity will activate background knowledge to boost reading comprehension and set the emotional tone for the story.
1. Welcome students to the group. Lead a group check-in. If you do not have a routine check-in procedure, ask group members to rate how they're feeling from 1-10, with 10 being the best they've ever felt. Students can elaborate on their number if they'd like.
2. Introduce today's group by telling them you will be reading a true story by a teen who slowly heals from a traumatic experience.
3. Introduce the Toss One, Take One activity by explaining they are going to do an activity that gathers everyone's ideas and allows them to hear multiple perspectives.
4. Pass out pieces of scrap paper and pencils. Tell group members not to write their name on their paper. This is an anonymous activity.
5. Ask group members to write a response on their paper to this question:
• Why can it be hard to open up and share something that's bugging you?
6. Give group members three minutes to think and then write their responses. If some group members are struggling, ask them to write about why they find it difficult to answer the prompts.
7. Write your own responses to the prompts to model the activity.
8. After group members have written their responses, tell them to crumple them into balls and toss them into the middle of the circle, or a container you have available.
9. Model for the group how you expect them to crumple and toss their responses into the center of the circle.
10. After everyone has tossed, each group member should retrieve an anonymous response from and return to their seats. As an alternative, walk around the circle with the responses and have each group member blindly pick a paper ball. (If a group member happens to choose their own response, it's OK because no one will know.)
11. Go around in a circle or ask for volunteers to read aloud the response from the paper.
12. Invite group members to comment on what they heard, such as similarities, differences, or personal connections to their peers' responses.
13. Thank group members for sharing.
During Reading (20 min)
By practicing active reading strategies while reading aloud and discussing as a group, students build comprehension and support fluency.
1. Introduce the story (see the summary above).
2. Share the expectations for a group read-aloud: volunteers take turns reading aloud as much or as little as they would like. As the group leader, you may stop periodically to ask students to share their responses to the story.
3. While sitting in a circle, read the story aloud together. Consider asking these open-ended questions during or after the read aloud:
• What's standing out to you about the story?
• What do you think of the writer's choice to use writing as a way to heal? What are some ways that you can cope with difficult feelings? [writing, meditating, walking/exercise, music, etc.]
• What advice would you give the writer if you were her friend?
4. Thank the group for reading and sharing.
Closing Circle (15 min)
During this post-reading activity, students will make connections, build understanding, and rehearse positive behaviors.
1. Pose the following questions to the group and take responses from volunteers:
• How was the writer affected by not sharing her experience of being sexually assaulted for so long?
• What do you think of her decision to share her writing with an English teacher?
• Who is someone in your life, like the writer's English teacher, who you can trust to open up with and discuss something that you want to keep confidential? [note: you can take a thumbs' up from each group member when they've thought of someone rather than take public responses if no one wants to share].
2. Thank students for being thoughtful members of the group and working to make connections to the writer's story, reflect on their own lives, and share with one another.

This lady is so super duper talented. She's the ... owner, operator, creator, masterminder... wait that's not a word... anyhow, she's the FUNKY FAIRY! So, she's also my boss :D
The lovely Lou clued us in on the importance of today and thought we should celebrate this glorious day with a shout out to our fearless leader, and my shout is in Funky Fairy papers, a StampingBella Ketto (agnes) image, a WOJ sentiment, and lots of lovely little primas and dewdrops. I went rather boring on the layout, but it was bright and happy and hey, a little bit funky (imagine me saying that slow and weird - like Pauly Shore or something).
Also, if you want to make my girl's day - you should go shopping at her site HERE. I mean, what could make her happier than knowing you totally dig her designs, and that lovely side benefit of making a little $$?
So, much love and gushy junk to the Shaz-master! (This card and a couple other goodies are making their way across the pond for you m'dear, sorry they'll be belated, but that means you get to continue to celebrate your day for much longer!)
XO ~enjoy~ OX

Advantages Of Co-Education
Co-education means the education of boys and girls together. In recent years some of your colleges have adopted this system. Some people favour this system. They say that this system is very useful. Their main argument is that in a poor and backward country like Pakistan it is impossible to maintain separate institutions. So co-education should be adopted and the existing college and schools should also be opened to girls.
The supporters of co-education also say that this system would provide an opportunity to the young men and women to come closer and understand each other. This would be very useful to them I their future life. It would also be good for the progress of the country. Another argument is that co-education would raise the standard of education, because it will promote competition among boys and girls.
But all these arguments are not based on facts. All of our institutions are overcrowded, The girls schools and college too are overcrowded. Hundreds of new educational institutions are needed, If some of these are reserved for girls,it would not cost more to the government.

The Stern family is considering adopting our dear friend Chef Anne. I don't think her husband will approve, but we don't care. We know living with us permanently will be good for her – and he'll eventually find a way to move on. Chef Anne is a terrific cook, and a delight to have in the kitchen. For the last two years my children, boys, ages 9 and 11, have asked and received as their sole birthday presents, the opportunity to cook a multi-course dinner with Chef Anne for a friend of their choice (my husband and I get to come too, we're no fools). The boys work with Anne to determine the menu and then spend hours hard at work in the kitchen on the day of the dinner – and yes, they consider this a treat, not a chore. You gotta luv my kids. The meals they prepare together are quite elaborate, even, dare I say it – posh. While Anne can keep up with the best of them making a fancy feast, she's also fab at everyday fare. This is her turkey chili, which we've now adopted as our own and make with frightful regularity.
Turkey Chili (serves 8-10)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 red onions, diced
- 3 red bell peppers, diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ package of "Soyrizo" (this product is widely available – TJ's even has a house brand though Chef Anne is partial to the one available at Whole Foods)
- 2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar
- ½ tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ½ tablespoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground chile de arbol OR cayenne pepper
- 1 lb ground turkey (white, dark or a combo)
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 28-oz can diced tomatoes
- One 12-oz jar TJ's salsa verde (or anyone else's jarred salsa – pick one you like)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 medium zucchini, diced
- chopped scallions and cilantro for garnish
Heat oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until softened, about ten minutes. Add peppers and sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir. Add the soyrizo and sauté for 1 minute. Next Anne says to "deglaze with the vinegar." I don't think deglazing is a commonly understood phrase that most casual cooks understand. What Anne means is that you add the vinegar to the pan and use the liquid to help you loosen any bits of onion, pepper or soyrizo that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Once you've done this add the spices and blend well. Next add the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the turkey with the back of a spoon. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes with their juices, and then the salsa and the broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add the beans. Simmer for ten minutes. Add the zucchini, cover, and simmer for ten more minutes. Serve with scallions and cilantro.

There aren't many restaurants in the Lehigh Valley where chefs provide visual as well as culinary entertainment.
But that's exactly what happens at Allentown's Robata of Tokyo. The sushi chef and the hibachi chefs at this Japanese restaurant perform their culinary arts in full view - a practice pleasing to the eye as well as the palate.

Based on AGNES GRAY I am forced to conclude that poor Anne was the untalented Bronte.
I had high hopes initially, as AGNES begins very much in the vein of the quality Bronte novel: lone governess, new location, lots of likely looking young men. Excellent.
Anne herself worked as a governess, and god, it shows. This book might well be titled GOVERNESS TELLS ALL. Or HOW I HATED BEING A GOVERNESS. Or maybe, THESE VICTORIAN KIDS ARE ALL BRATS.
The first third of the book is spent with one family of badly behaved children, and constitutes Agnes (ie Anne) explaining how poor parenting creates a horrible home environment. She then leaves this house, and it is never referred to again, and has no bearing on the rest of the novel at all. In her next home, the children are also badly behaved, but somewhat less so. She makes the whole situation worse by seeming to have a point of policy whereby she never, for any reason, expresses her actual feelings to anyone. Thus, she spends all her time seething, and no time at all attempting to honestly resolve her difficulties. It's a textbook case of building your own prison, by means of your own wilful silence, and makes it hard to care what happens to Agnes.
She is introduced to the local rector, and after speaking to him three times (two of these about the weather) she falls madly in love with him. Eventually, but by then you are so bored you just don't care, they get together.
Here's him asking her to go to the shore with him, so he can propose. Hold on to your hats, ladies, this guy knows how to work it:
"I see by those light clouds in the west, there will be a brilliant sunset, and we shall be in time to witness its effect upon the sea, at the most moderate rate of progression."Nuff said.

On April 1, the Valley Sun editor offered some thoughts on recent issues involving an LCHS math teacher ("Schools must keep eyes open").
Much of the editorial is insightful, and the LCUSD Governing Board is grateful to the local press for bringing public education and our schools to the attention of the community.
However, we are compelled to correct some misinformation contained in the editorial, specifically:
Current board policy provides for complaints from any party at the informal level. The issue before the board is whether we will entertain future formal complaints from a third party whose testimony amounts to hearsay.

Thierry Mugler, born in 1948 is a French fashion designer, photographer, and creator of a fashion design company of the same name.
Mugler wanted to start his career as a ballet dancer, but he also studied design and created garments for friends at the same time. He moved to Paris in 1970 and worked as a window-dresser. With talents and experience, he launched his first line Café de Paris in 1973, and founded his own label for women two years later, to be followed by designs for men in 1978. Since then he had gained many achievements in designing.
Alongside his success as a fashion designer, Mugler is well-known for his perfumes. 1997 saw the start of a lucrative partnership with the French cosmetics and skincare company Clarins, the best-known Thierry Mugler fragrances being "Angel" and "A-Men" fragrances. The Thierry Mugler company is now best known for its perfume division: the couture division was closed in 2003, but, reopened for the Winter 2008 collection, helmed by Rosemary Rodriguez, formerly of Paco Rabanne, who has also created the label's most recent ready-to-wear collections. A line of spectacle frames, created under various licensing agreements, is also available.

Nine Inch Nails: Reznor Speaks on the State of Music Biz
The Nine Inch Nails front-man shares his opinion on the current state of music industry.
Consequence of Sound notes, it's a debate that's raged for years now, and will no doubt continue for the foreseeable future, especially as Thom Yorke declares war against Spotify, Pink Floyd against Pandora, and acts such as Jay Z and Lady Gaga invent new ways to distribute their music, leaving Billboard.
Trent Reznor, having released his 2008 album, "The Slip," for free online, has been catching some slack for his decision to release the band's new album, "Hesitation Marks," on a major label, Columbia, to which he previously replied, "I never signed up to say: 'Hey, I'm the spokesperson for that sort of thing.'"
In a new interview with SPIN, Reznor once again addressed major labeldom and, more specifically, what he perceives the value of his music to be:
"Nine Inch Nails feels bigger than it ever has ... Is it because we're on Columbia? Is it scarcity? I don't know, but it doesn't feel bigger in the sense that we've desperately adopted some new clothing style. It feels organic, and it feels good not to be worrying about whether or not we shipped vinyl to the cool record store in Prague.
"I know that what we're doing flies in the face of the Kickstarter Amanda-Palmer-Start-a-Revolution thing, which is fine for her, but I'm not super-comfortable with the idea of Ziggy Stardust shaking his cup for scraps. I'm not saying offering things for free or pay-what-you-can is wrong. I'm saying my personal feeling is that my album's not a dime. It's not a buck. I made it as well as I could, and it costs 10 bucks, or go f--k yourself."

Wrapping up the wedding posts, finally... I made myself a Colette Patterns Peony dress to wear to my brother's wedding rehearsal. I had made myself another version of the Socialite dress and did wear it to a different wedding (though that's another post), but at the last minute decided I wanted a Peony instead. So I scheduled myself one hour of work between getting home from my day job and making dinner for two whole weeks. I was able to get most of it done, but because I decided to fully line the dress, I completed sewing the lining to the zipper on the plane and the lining to the arm holes in the hotel room! Still, I finished in time to wear it to the rehearsal! Go me.
I knew when I saw the Anna Maria Horner Needleworks fabrics that I wanted to create something out of them that wasn't just needlepoint. I was going to stitch on the little cummerbund belt, but ultimately decided it would be too much. I left the fussy-cut sleeves unlined, however, so that I could add embroidery / cross stitch if I wanted to over time.
I really like this dress! I think it's gorgeous but casual. It has pockets! The little belt does wonders.
Despite the simplicity of the pattern, I had a few issues with creating this dress. I did my first full-bust adjustment, and it certainly shouldn't be my last! It took a bit of time, though. And then, somehow, I messed up the bust dart on one side. It's curvier than the other, and without the belt looks absolutely awful. I also think I made the belt a little too snug, as it actually gathers the dress a bit at the waist. It takes some fiddling to get it looking right, but then I'm set all day. I think the next time I make it, I should either take the belt out or the dress in or both. And fix the bust dart, because I would like the option of wearing this belt-less. I have a holiday version in mind with longer sleeves, so here's hoping I can get to it! Things have been INSANE the last few weeks, both at my day job and at home / crafting.
HERE. (And yes, that photo above is me trying to document the dress pre-rehearsal, in the hotel room.)

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
Definition of Michelangelo in US English:
proper noun
(1475–1564), Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet; full name Michelangelo Buonarroti. A leading figure of the High Renaissance, Michelangelo established his reputation with sculptures such as the Pietà (c.1497–1500) and David (1501–04). Under papal patronage he decorated the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (1508–12) and painted the fresco The Last Judgment (1536–41), both important mannerist works. His architectural achievements include the completion of St. Peter's cathedral in Rome (1546–64).

All I can say is thank God for Sam Dennison over at Wild Wolf. Writing the blurb is just about the toughest part of the process, but he makes it look easy.
This is what we've managed to put together for my soon to be released novel, "Josiah Stubb":
"It is 1758 and the siege of Louisbourg is raging. The military might of the British and French empires collide in a desperate bid to control the key strategic fortress and, in turn, Quebec and French-held North America.
One man caught amidst the bloodshed is the young grenadier, Josiah Stubb. Raised by a whore amidst poverty and incest, Josiah seemed doomed from birth to a life in the gutter. His attempt to leave his sordid past behind leads him to Louisbourg, but it comes back to haunt him in the form of a gifted officer, battling his own inner demons.
As the siege blazes towards its inevitable bloody climax, will Josiah live to overcome the formidable obstacles that keep him chained to his past, or will his aspirations for a better life die with him on the brooding shores of Ile Royale?"
Look for the e-book to be released by the end of February, and the paperback a month later.

* TSX up 167.98 pts, or 1.4 pct, at 12,276.85
* Italian senate passes austerity measures package
* Mining stocks lead rally (Adds analyst's comments, details)
By Jon Cook
TORONTO, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index ended a volatile week of trading more than 1 percent higher on Friday as commodity prices rose on renewed investor optimism that Europe is taking steps to deal with its debt crisis.
Moves by debt-riddled Italy and Greece to grapple with the crisis provided a much-needed lift to global stocks, which have swayed with the headlines from Europe for the last month.
The Italian senate passed an EU-mandated package of austerity measures to address the country's near 2 trillion euro (2.7 trillion) debt. Approval by the lower house on Saturday was seen as a matter of course, relieving market anxiety that Italy would become the euro-zone's next bailout case. [MKTS/GLOB]
In Greece, a new coalition government was proceeding on a plan to secure an 8 billion euro aid tranche to prevent it from running out of cash next month. [ID:nA8E7MA00N]
Adding to the positive sentiment from Europe, the U.S. economy showed signs of shaking off its doldrums this week, with a new Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index on consumer sentiment rising to its highest level in five months. [ID:nN1E7AA0I3] This came on the heels of a dip in U.S. jobless numbers.
"When the political news is neutral the global growth story shines through, the markets tend to rally," said Stephen Wood, chief investment strategist forth North America at Russell Investments.
After two straight down sessions, the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE ended the week up 167.98 points, or 1.4 percent, at 12,276.85.
The index's heavily weighted materials sector, home to base-metal and gold miners, surged 2.5 percent, nearly erasing Thursday's losses.
Goldcorp Inc (G.TO) led the sector, rising 4.4 percent to C$54.58 as bullion prices increased for the third straight week. [GOL/]
Base metals miners performed strongly, boosted by copper's first gain in nearly a week [MET/L], jumping 2.4 percent. The sector was led by First Quantum Minerals (FM.TO), which was up more than 4 percent at C$18.97 after falling more than 20 percent the last two sessions.
"Commodity prices look like they have some bounce to them," said Paul Taylor, chief investment officer at BMO Harris Investment Management Inc.
"If we get by the euro zone issues again, the economic indicators are inconsistent with an outright global economic recession, so that's not a bad backdrop for what we produce in abundance here in Canada," Taylor said.
Teck Resources TCKb.TO was also among the sector's top gainers, rising 1.5 percent to C$38.31.
Nine of the index's 10 main sectors were higher, with energy and financials showing solid gains.
Suncor Energy Inc (SU.TO) climbed 2.4 percent to C$32.36 to lead energy stocks, which rose 1.5 percent as oil prices rode the commodities wave. [O/R]
TransCanada Corp (TRP.TO) was the next biggest gainer, rising 2.4 percent to C$40.81, a day after the United States announced it would delay a decision on whether to approve its proposed $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline for 18 months. [ID:nN1E7A80X4]
Financial stocks were led higher by Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), whose shares rose 1.4 percent to C$45.65.
Power Financial Corp's (PWF.TO) shares were up 2.4 percent at C$26.11 after it reported a higher profit due to stronger results at its insurance and mutual fund subsidiaries. [ID:nN1E7AA0T5]
