James Clapper's Office Declassifies Another Set Of Fully-Redacted Pages
from the also-jabs-public-in-eyes-with-godawful-scans dept
The ODNI continues to comply with court orders from FOIA lawsuits but its compliance is in letter only. Declassifying documents the way the ODNI does isn't helping further the debate on privacy vs. security or making the government's arguments for surveillance dragnets any more clear.
Two more documents were released late Friday, with one of them being more about what it doesn't include than what it does and the other potentially leading to irreversible eye damage.
First up, the FBI's report on the maintenance and use of [REDACTED] databases. About the only thing surviving the redaction knife is a few footnotes which indicate this document has something to do with the pen register/trap and trace bastardization that turned a targeted surveillance technique with a low legal barrier to entry into a broad, untargeted dragnet with a low legal barrier to entry. (PDF link.)
But this is how most of the "declassified" report looks.
Right-margin barely large enough to contain the exemptions.
The unexpected use of black in a sea of white redactions.
All of the above is in addition to several pages that were withheld in their entirety, without even being given the chance to be redacted into uselessness.
What remains is mainly footnotes. One supplies a description of PR/TT surveillance pulled directly from the US code. One references CALEA (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act). One footnote points out that the FBI is not allowed to "affirmatively search" content gathered incidentally by this program, unless, of course, (truck-sized loophole ahead) it needs to "prevent harm to national security."
In total, the document is of zero value to anyone anywhere. No information was freed, nor will it be -- not if intelligence officials have the final say for redactions. The redactions can be challenged, but that's in EPIC's hands.
The second document, a declaration in support of the PR/TT program by CIA director George Tenet, contains more readable info… but just barely. There's a lot of redactions in here as well but the main struggle is reading the remaining text which looks like it was rolled off a myopic, 75-year-old mimeograph. (PDF link.)
Most of Tenet's declaration revolves around threats the CIA was tracking, none of which are allowed past the censor, despite it being a decade later. The name Al-Qaeda appears every so often, and there's hints of a discussion revolving around surveillance tactics and government actions related to the 9/11 attacks, but most of this information is withheld as well.
Interestingly, Tenet notes that the CIA (and other agencies) have picked up signals that signal a "US strike" in the "next four months," possibly in conjunction with the 2004 elections. It also cautions that being too effective may be accelerating terrorists' attack plans, with detainments and other factors possibly causing terrorism leaders to believe their operations are compromised.
Tenet declares all the redacted surveillance programs to have been essential in disrupting terrorists' plans and/or possibly pushing attack timetables forward, noting that the PR/TT has been invaluable in lots of things that are completely redacted. In conclusion, please give the NSA/FBI PR/TT dragnet privileges.
So much for transparency. Even a discontinued surveillance program is subject to page after page of complete redaction, including documents discussing threats over a decade old whose attacks and plans were either thwarted or never came to fruition. The word "declassify" generally is taken to mean a release of information previously withheld, but in the ODNI's hands, all it means is the release of as little as possible.

THU, MAR 1, 2007 at 7:26 AM
March is full of all sorts of things. There's St. Patricks Day, of course, and the beginning of spring, amongst 'em. And, after the unusually harsh and seemingly unending winter we weather-pussies here in the Northwest have endured, we'll seize any opportunity to drink green beer.
Speaking of opportunities to drink anything and everything, for days on end, and to have the same conversation 4,000 times in 4 days…
Sub Pop will be heading to the lovely shire that is Austin, Texas to unleash our beasts (er, bands) on an entirely unsuspecting public. Actually, this public will most likely be fairly unsurprised as we are planning this trip to coincide with the 2007 SXSW Music Conference and they put our name in the schedule and all. Come check out our showcase at Emo's IV Lounge (at 601 Red River) on Wednesday March 14th featuring…
Kinski (12:45am)
Oxford Collapse (11:30pm)
Loney, dear (10:30pm)
Tiny Vipers (9:30pm)
And then, the band Maps & Atlases, who are not actually on the label, but who several people here think quite a great deal of, will be playing at 8:30.
We tried and sadly seemed to have failed to convince this guy to attend the show. Should still be a whole lot of fun though!
Also in March, from what we hope is one of your top 8 or so favorite medium-sized record labels in the 98121 zip code… A new Low record! On March 20th, we'll be releasing Drums and Guns, the phenomenal new Low album. You can check out the song Breaker from Drums and Guns here. The album is available for pre-order now. And, if you order this record before March 20th (and because, when it comes right down to it, we're pretty solid people), we will include a 7" vinyl single of Hatchet (Optimimi Version) b/w Breaker (Dub Plate) for FREE! These are totally different, completely re-worked versions of the songs found on the album. Plus, they're good!

The S.C. Election Commission heard the concerns of former state representative candidate Richie Yow on Nov. 27, but in the end decided by a 5-0 vote to uphold the victory of incumbent Ted Vick in the S.C. House 53 seat.
Vick, a Democrat, won the Nov. 6 general election by 723 votes. Yow, a Republican, claimed there were enough discrepancies in voting procedures in Chesterfield County to more than offset that margin.

It will be an early start to Nebraska's annual Homecoming game, as the Big Ten Conference announced the start times for this year's Homecoming games on Thursday. Nebraska's Homecoming matchup with Illinois on Saturday, Oct. 5, will kickoff at 11 a.m. (Central), with television to be announced at a later date.
The 2013 season will mark the 103rd Homecoming game for the Husker football program, as Nebraska is 76-22-4 all-time in homecoming games, including 2-0 as a member of the Big Ten. Last year, the Huskers rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit to defeat Wisconsin, 30-27. Nebraska is 4-1 in Homecoming games under Bo Pelini.
The 2013 matchup with Illinois will be Nebraska's first contest with the Fighting Illini since a Husker victory in Champaign in 1986. Nebraska holds a 7-2-1 advantage in the all-time series, including a 5-1 mark in Lincoln. This will mark Illinois' second trip to Lincoln since 1925, and first since a 52-25 Husker win in 1985.

Pension problems and complications continue to weigh on Rhode Island. Two communities in financial trouble because of unmet pension obligations – West Warwick and Cranston – are getting resistance from their unions and retirees when it comes to readjusting pension payouts. And the state, in the biggest challenge of all, is attempting to remove the Superior Court judge sitting in judgment on the union challenge to the landmark state pension overhaul that was approved by the General Assembly last fall, citing a potential bias because of family union connections (a state trooper son and a retired mother). The judge, Mary Taft-Carter, says there will be no bias in her decision-making, and she asked for and received a judicial panel review that supported her position in the case.
Contrast these situations with what's happening in Providence – there the firefighters union has just agreed to cut COLAs for its members, and both police and firefighter retirees previously agreed over the summer to similar cuts. In Providence's case, you have the public safety unions and retirees agreeing to concessions to help save the city's finances. In West Warwick and Cranston, just the opposite is occurring – in those communities unions and elected officials are balking at any compromise. As a result, West Warwick, which is in a more dangerous position than Cranston is at the moment, is probably going to get a state takeover, as occurred in Central Falls.
West Warwick's situation is dire. The town hasn't made its required pension payments for 10 straight years now and has an unfunded liability of $115 million. The town manager has offered some bitter medicine: raise taxes, freeze salaries, slash overtime and cut payments to retirees and end their COLAs. The town council, which previously ignored a financial consultant's advice not to invest its pension funds in a less than stellar outfit, doesn't know what to do and has, in effect, thrown up its hands. The state is poised to intervene, warning that what happened in Central Falls might repeat itself in West Warwick.
In Cranston, where pension costs currently total some 20 percent of the city's budget, Mayor Allan Fung has asked for pension relief from city retirees – specifically no more COLA payments for a period of 10 years, with renewed COLAs of no more than 3 percent coming after the 10-year time-out period. First reactions came back in the form of a big NO with these offered alternatives: close buildings, cut spending, and raise taxes, even though higher property taxes would affect retiree homeowners, too. As this column went to press, however, the head of the city's firefighters union, who also represents former firefighters, has indicated that he is willing to meet with the mayor on the issue, so perhaps some compromise can be worked out.
West Warwick's and Cranston's pension problems have come to light due to the state's requirement that cities and towns with troubled pension funds (those with less than 60 percent long-term funding) report to the state on the conditions of their plans and remedies they are taking to rectify the problem. To see how big the pension shortfall is across the Ocean State, it has been reported that 17 municipalities out of 39 are in poor shape with their locally administered plans. Eight of those did not meet the state's Nov. 11 deadline to report.
It is indeed hard to take back money promised, and for years delivered, to retirees who, in many cases, depend on their set amount each month to get by, and who have also been granted COLAs every year. Some argue – hence the case against the state – that those promises are contractually binding and can't be taken away without the consent of the recipients. That's why it is possible that the state will lose in Superior Court, perhaps lose before the state's Supreme Court, and have to take the case to the Federal Appeals level. If that wasn't possible, the unions wouldn't be pursuing it.
But Central Falls shows what can happen when the dollars finally run out. And Providence demonstrates what a community needs to do to avoid becoming the next Central Falls. If a community becomes insolvent, the state can step in and change the rules overnight, forcing everyone to receive less than they could have retained through reasonable compromise. West Warwick, which doesn't look like it had responsible leaders for some time, may have to go that route. Hopefully Cranston and other communities will find the means to compromise and ride out the storm.

What does it take to lead?
Last night, Roy donned the "C" for a preseason skate against the Montreal Canadiens. While most eyes (who had access to video of the game) were watching Christian Ehrhoff's strong debut, Roy was putting up a hell of a game.
Say what you want. It's not like we know who says what in the locker room, or on the bench. As fans, we all have our opinions on who is a strong character on and off the ice. But we lack insight.
Here's what we do know:
The Sabres' last captain, Craig Rivet, was strong in the locker room – voted as captain by his teammates – but he couldn't follow through on the ice as a healthy scratch. We knew that Chris Drury was a strident and powerful leader, because that information was made very public. He lead in the locker room. He lead on the ice.
Last night, Roy lead on the ice.
After the first period with the "C" on his sweater, Roy had 1 assist, was a +1, had a .667 faceoff percentage (one of the talking points of the Montreal RDS broadcast team during that intermission), and his 5:45 time on ice trailed only Pominville's 5:55 for forwards.
After the second period, his faceoff percentage dropped to .538 and his points remained the same – though he should have had two more assists as Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville whiffed on gimme chances. (Those two, ironically, are his likely competition for the captaincy.)
At the final buzzer, he had 1 assist, was a +2, .556 on faceoffs, and enjoyed 17:35 of ice time (second in forwards behind Stafford).
His skating was strong. He was in midseason form. It looked like he'd been doing this for ages – well, he has. He's a part of the core that has been here for years. He knows the system, the coaches, the players, the fans. He knows it all – how the team has lost in recent years, and what it took to win.
He may not be your favorite Sabre, and he may not be as gritty as Rivet or Drury – but hs motor doesn't stop. He's the #1 center on a team looking to win it all, and if last year's point-per-game pace tells us anything, he's matured on the ice enough to take this team to grand places.
He has what it takes to lead, folks – he puts it all out there on the ice. He's not the diving rookie that we shook our heads at anymore. He's grown up into a leader, an example, and a big piece of a Stanley Cup puzzle.
The captaincy has not been guaranteed by Lindy Ruff, yet. But last night, Derek Roy made a strong, strong case for it.
Go Sabres.

Is there a general timetable for when the study, take lsat then apply should take place? I mean, is there a standard timetable of all events leading up to accepting admission into LS. I'm looking to plan out the entire process from beginning to end but can't seem to find a good breakdown of when certain steps should take place (in general). Thanks.
I want to start with 3 months of intensive LSAT study, so when should that start ideally? Considering I also want to make sure I have the ability to do the 3 months of study again for a re-take if needed? beginning of Junior year?

1) There is no general timeline. Everyone has their own set of circumstances which will significantly alter any given "timeline." One person may not have any work/school and thus has all day everyday to study while someone else may still be in school, working part-time, have kids, etc. You will have to figure out what works best for you given your free time, study tendencies, financial circumstances, etc.
2) That said, you want to have enough time to properly prepare yet not too much where you will burn out. This, again, will be very different for each person. Maybe you are already scoring in the 165+ range and will get into the 175+ range within 3 months of prep (amazing!!!). Maybe you are scoring in the 140 range and need 6 months to get into the 155+ range. Find out what you goal is, where you are, and then figure out how to get there given #1.
3) Do not plan on re-taking the test. This is something you should only take once. Yes, there are plenty of times where re-taking the test may be the best idea, however, this should be a last resort decision AFTER you take the LSAT. You shouldn't schedule it in. That said, I understand your concern that, in the event of you needing to, you would like some wiggle room to study and then retake. This is fine to some extent, but leads to #4.
4) When do you know you are ready? This is partially going to be a feeling - you will know when all the extra studying in the world is not going to do anything for you. At the same time, you should be keeping track of your progress on PTs. If you studied correctly (PROPER un timed practice > PROPER timed practice > FULL test conditions), by the end of your prep, you should have a very strong idea of your average band. When that avg. band isn't consistently improving by more than 3 points, you are pretty much done.
5) When should you retake? Only if something horribly wrong occurs. If in the middle of your test you get a giant pain in your stomach that screws section 4 and 5 over for you. If all your pencils broke during section 2. Or, maybe you realize after the fact that you really didn't study correctly. That during your "full test conditions," you gave yourself an extra min. to bubble in, you gave yourself an extra 10 min break to go out and get coffee, etc. If you can identify specific and significant factors that heavily and negatively affected your score, then you can consider retaking the test. Other than this, however, it will be a complete waste of your time. Remember that any given score is statistically the same within +/- 3 points or so. And after 165, you are statistically more likely to score lower on a re-take than higher.
6) So what does all of this actually mean in real terms for you? It sounds like you are a freshman or sophomore in college. It also sounds like you want to go straight from graduation to law school (i.e. no grad school/work). I would strongly encourage you not to focus too much on the lsat until the end of your junior year. Between now and then, I would take a few sections just to see where you naturally are. I would also do all your studying on the test between now and then on any free time. This means setting up a study schedule for the end of your junior year. I would also slowly go through a study book on your free time (kaplan/powerscore). Again, only on your free time - instead of watching TV kinda thing. This way, by the time you hit the ground with your LSAT studying, you will be ready.
7) I would allocate between 3-6 months of prep prior to the October test. This way, you will have all the summer to hit the LSAT hard and will avoid running into finals/midterms during your prep. I would personally start sometime in april/may and pick it up big time during june or so. This way, if you did need a retake, you have dec. waiting for you, or even feb. if a school accepts it (they usually don't).
There are plenty of resources on this and other sites sa to how to properly study. At first you want to focus on un timed practice. This is not leisurely practice, rather you need to go through each answer choice, write down why each one is incorrect/correct, and double check it before you move on. Once you are scoring in the 175+ range un timed, you can move on to timed section(s) practice and then to full test conditions.
Good luck

Take the LSAT when you have time to study summer between junior and senior year is probably best. Also remember you can take the test again and again without any real consequence. The majority of schools do not average LSAT scores anymore.
To take the LSAT you will need to create an LSAC Profile and keep that active. Try to obtain a few professors, employers, that will agree to write you letters of recommendation when the time comes. Think about some personal statement topics. Also obtain official transcripts that you can submit to LSAC.
Really all you need to apply to law school is listed below.
(1) Undergraduate degree preferably a 3.0 or above GPA.
(2) LSAT score
(3) LSAC account
(4) Official Transcripts
(5) Letters of Recommendation
(6) Personal Statement
(7) Some schools have required additional or optional essays as well.
One other helpful hint that can save you a thousand dollars or so and might give you a 1% boost on your application is attending LSAC forums. If you have an LSAC account go to every booth of a school you are even remotely interested in and you can check off the box you talked to an admissions officer and more often than not you will get a fee waiver, which saves you between $60-$100.00.
Good luck in your pursuit of a J.D.

Nursing (Pre-BSN)
Pre-Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Two types of academic programs lead to RN licensure: associate degree programs (ADN) and baccalaureate programs (BSN). Both programs prepare individuals to give direct patient care, but graduates of an ADN program have more limited career mobility.
The baccalaureate degree is required for public health nursing, school nursing and most supervisory positions at the unit manager level, and to enter most graduate nursing programs. In Illinois, a master's degree in nursing is required to teach in ADN, BSN or graduate-level nursing education programs.
College of DuPage students interested in pursuing the bachelor's degree in nursing can earn an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree while they fulfill all prerequisites for admission to a BSN nursing program. The Pre-Nursing program has been developed for this purpose. The ADN Nursing program, described in another program guide, is designed for students who plan to practice as a registered nurse (RN) immediately after graduation. Other educational institutions offer degree-completion programs for ADN nurses who later decide to pursue their BSN. Degree-completion programs generally can be completed in four to six semesters.
Job Description and Career Opportunities
RNs provide direct care and treatment for patients, supervise, and work as members of interdisciplinary teams in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, home health services, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, ambulatory clinics and physicians' offices. Bedside services that RNs provide include injections, blood transfusions, intravenous feedings and dispensing of medications. BSNs also work in the public schools, in supervisory/managerial positions in nursing, and in the health department where they perform comprehensive health appraisals and provide patient education.
To practice as an RN, individuals must graduate from an accredited two-year associate degree program (ADN) or four-year baccalaureate program (BSN) and pass the national licensing examination. An RN must have a baccalaureate degree for employment as a public health nurse or school nurse, and for most supervisory/managerial positions at the unit manager level and above.
The employment outlook for RNs in all settings is excellent due to the prevailing shortage of nursing personnel.
On-campus BSN Opportunities
Enrollment Information
Obtain a list of specific prerequisites required for admission to the BSN program(s) you would like to attend. You can obtain these directly from the transfer institution and, for some in-state schools, from COD's Counseling and Advising Services. Work with the Counseling and Advising Services to select COD courses that fulfill these prerequisites.

Six members of local delegation voted against bill on guns, mental health, schools
Hartford -- Three of the four senators and three of the 10 representatives from southeastern Connecticut voted against the guns, mental health and school secruity bill being signed into law today by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
The bill passed 26 to 10 in the Senate and 105 to 44 in the House.
State Representatives Ed Jutila, D-Niantic, Rep. Kevin Ryan, D-Montville and Timothy Bowles, D-Preston, voted against the bill. "My constituents, everyone but two of them, said to vote against the bill," Ryan said on Wednesday.
He said he supports universal background checks. But the bill in general raises a lot of questions. For example, it's not clear how high-capacity magazines would be registered, he said.
Bowles said, "I believe that I am up here at the will of my constituents and I am responding to the majority of my constituents up here."
The seven local representatives who voted in favor of the bill were Reps. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, Edward Moukawsher, D-Groton, Elissa Wright, D-Groton, Ernest Hewett, D-New London, Brian Sear, D-Canterbury, and Emmett Riley, D-Norwich.
"I don't think the bill is perfect, but it is unprecedented work and provides a response to what happened in Newtown," Ritter said on Wednesday.
She said she had worked primarily on the mental health part of the bill and was pleased with the mental health measures. Allowing school boards to offer mental health first aid trainings will help with early identification in young children. The training teaches people how to recognize and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders.
The legislature still needs to figure out how to help youth as they get older but this is a "good beginning," Ritter said.
Wright said the bill struck a good balance between public safety and the Second Amendment.
The senators from southeastern Connecticut who voted against the bill were Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, Cathy Osten, D-Sprague and Art Linares, R-Westbrook.
Osten said many from the rural 19th District reached out to her. This bill puts people who purchase weapons for hunting and competition at risk, she said.
Osten said Wednesday, before the vote, that she would like to say that the bill makes changes so that "no one would have to see another dead 6-year-old, that no one would have to respond to a tragedy as significant as what happened down at Sandy Hook. But this legislation does not provide that protection, in my opinion. It puts at risk legal gun owners."
Maynard said his constituents also told him to vote against the bill.
"I went out and I talked to people on every side of the issue for the last two-and-a-half months, and at the end of that process, I had to cast the most challenging vote of my legislative career," Maynard said.
Linares said the bill created "unnecessary harm" for law-abiding citizens. The state needs to focus on mental health to address the tragedy of Sandy Hook, he said.
State Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, was the only senator from the region to vote in favor of the bill.
"I am proud to support (this bill) and certainly hope that colleagues here in the circle will do the same," Stillman said on Wednesday. "I believe this bill is a great opportunity for Connecticut to set a framework for other states to follow."
President Barack Obama will visit the University of Hartford on Monday to make another push for federal gun control legislation.

This is the 41st post in a series on Booby Traps, made possible by the generous support of Motherlove Herbal Company.
We are so very pleased to share the second of a two part guest post by Karen Gromada, MSN, RN, IBCLC, FILCA, on Booby Traps for moms of multiples (click here for Part I). Karen is the author of the classic Mothering Multiples, and is recognized as a leading expert on breastfeeding twins (and more).
While a lot has been written about nursing multiples, we haven't seen a comprehensive explanation of the barriers moms face. So we think this post will be a classic!
Peer Booby Traps
Mothers of multiples sometimes booby-trap breastfeeding for another mother when they proclaim, "You won't survive infancy with multiple infants unless you…
- "Get them on the same (strict) schedule right away!"
- "Use sleep training so they soon sleep through the night (even if each must cry it out)."
Strict day or nighttime schedules can undermine milk production and may interfere with weight gain for one or more babies. Plus, trying to impose such schedules often adds to the stress of caring for multiples by creating an unrealistic expectation for many young infants and putting unnecessary pressure on a new mother.
Also considered a Booby Trap by those who need the company of other mothers of multiples but aren't yet ready to leave breastfed babies at home is a parents/mothers of multiple club that welcomes the mother but frowns on breastfed babies accompanying her to meetings.
Finally, a mother of multiples may Booby-Trap herself. For instance, the mother who expects each of her babies to have the exact same breastfeeding pattern or assumes each of her preterm babies to make the transition to direct breastfeeding at the exact same time and in the exact same way is setting Booby Traps for herself. Each multiple-birth infant is an individual. More likely than not, one former preterm multiple will be ready to move to exclusive breastfeeding before the other(s). Also, one is more likely to need more frequent breastfeeding or more time to breastfeed than the other(s).
Mothers often Booby-Trap themselves by thinking there is a problem with breastfeeding when an issue has little or nothing to do with the actual breastfeeding. Often the issue is really about coping with two or more times the usual number of babies. But breastfeeding easily gets all mixed up with the two (or more) babies issues. It becomes another case of shooting the messenger (breastfeeding).
A huge self-detonating booby trap common among mothers of multiples is that they tend to "should" on themselves! Mother who think they should be able to care for babies, older children, household tasks, their careers, etc. as they might do or have done with a previous single baby set themselves up for frustration. When circumstances interfere with a mother of multiples' breastfeeding goals, too many mothers blame themselves instead of the circumstances. Mothers who think they should be able to "do it all" without physical help and emotional support are in for the biggest boom of Booby Trap bombs!
How Moms of Multiples can Avoid the Booby Traps
Don't add to the minefield of Booby Traps. A mother of multiples is more likely to avoid Booby Traps if she:
- Prepares to begin breastfeeding under a variety of circumstances – preterm or full-term birth; vaginal, cesarean or a combination of delivery methods; supportive or unsupportive partner, family or friends; etc. For more information or ideas, review the FAQ at my web site.
- Develops a birth plan designed to help breastfeeding (or milk expression) that includes skin-to-skin contact at birth if babies are late preterm or term, and with less mature preterm infants as soon as possible. (Skin-to-skin contact is called Kangaroo Care in the NICU. Be a "squeaky wheel" about making it happen!) A fill-in-the-blanks birth plan for twins and some triplet sets is available on my website.
- Develops a cheering squad of breastfeeding supportive professionals, family and friends who understand and will reinforce her breastfeeding goals.
- Finds where she can rent a hospital-grade breast pump in case she must express milk for babies that came early or any that is not yet able to breastfeed effectively.
- Expects late preterm/term newborns to cue and begin breastfeeding within the first hour of birth; plans to hand express colostrum within the first hour if one/more babies cannot yet breastfeed. Then Maximize Milk Production with Hands-on Pumping by combining the breast pump with hands-on techniques until all babies breastfeed well.
- Accepts help with household tasks or an older child, which free her to breastfeed and/or express milk for her babies.
- Allows time for a daily routine to develop as she and her babies adjust and get to know one another better.
- Distinguishes breastfeeding issues from issues related to having two (or three or more) the usual number of babies.
- Celebrates what she and her babies accomplish and lets go when babies or breasts force her to take a detour for any amount of time.

Author Notes: This is my grandma's recipe for "leeks tart" and the one I made so many times the first months I arrived in NY. —heirloom
Makes: a 9-10" tart
Ingredients for "Pâte brisée"
1 1/2
cups AP flour
tablespoons unsalted butter chilled and diced
cup chilled water
pinch salt
Ingredients for the filling
medium leeks
2 1/2
tablespoons AP flour
1 1/2
cups water
cup milk (maybe you'll not use all of it)
slices of smoked bacon (diced)
tablespoon grated parmigiano reggiano cheese (optional)
teaspoon salt
In This Recipe
- Make a "Pâte brisée" (or you can also buy an unsalted or savory pie crust in your grocery shop, but it's not the same). Quickly combine flour and butter in a bowl using only your fingertips and being careful not to over mix otherwise the butter melts (it's fine if remain a few butter pieces big like peas) until you obtain a kind of a crumble. Create a hill with the crumble and with 1 finger make a hole on top of it, add the salt and pour the water. Mould first with a single finger and then with the whole hand to create a ball being careful not to over mix. Wrap the dough in a plastic foil and refrigerate for at least 30 min (you can also keep the dough for 1 day and make the tart the next day).
- In the meanwhile make the filling: Slice the leeks very thinly. Overcook them in a covered pan with the water and the salt for 30 minutes over medium-low heat. Sprinkle with the flour and keep stirring over medium-low heat to create a mixture similar to besciamelle, if it is necessary add a little milk to adjust the thickness. When the mixture is dense (about 10 min) adjust salt and add the diced bacon and optional grated parmigiano cheese. Set it aside.
- Preheat the oven at 375-400 F. Dust a wooden surface with flour and roll the dough into an about 1/8" thick round. Grease a 9-10" round baking tin using oil or butter, dust it with a little flour and put the dough in. With the tines of a fork pierce several times the dough for it not to bubble while baking. Pour the leeks mixture over the crust. Fold the borders of the crust over the mixture making pleats as you fold it, if needed. Bake the tart at 375-400 F for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Serve warm with a mixed greens or fennel salad seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, fresh erbs, and a little salt or let the tart cool and serve the next day.

Alice Cooper was described as "a violent and evil influence on the nation's youth," when he toured Britain in 1973. The dread Cooper inspired led six Members of Parliament to petition the Prime Minister to refuse the singer permission to enter the country. The petition failed.
Then, Mary Whitehouse, doyen of minding-other people's business, campaigned to have Alice Cooper's records banned by the BBC. Mrs. Whitehouse also failed, and "School's Out" went to number one in the UK charts.
The fear of Alice Cooper and his like, led many on the Right to believe the end of civilization was nigh. Hard to believe now, but back then with a 3-day-working week, nation-wide power cuts, food shortages, rising unemployment, a failing economy, and an incompetent Conservative Prime Minister, there were those amongst the Establishment who considered a "Boy's Own" military coup over their "salmon and lamb cutlets."
Nothing happened, and Alice Cooper successfully toured the UK. But the "pace" of touring, with its chaotic hotel-living, took a considerable tool, and Cooper became an alcoholic. By the time he returned to the U.K. in 1978, the singer was sober and seemingly "rehabilitated."
This rare (flickering) interview from the BBC News and Current Affairs show Tonight, in December 1978, has the late Donald MacCormick quizzing Alice about the changes to his life, his new show, and album From the Inside, which was inspired by Cooper's stay in a New York sanitarium to cure his alcoholism.

Authorities nab 'Grinch' who allegedly stole holiday packages from Los Angeles homes
SAN PEDRO, Calif. – Los Angeles County sheriff's authorities are calling a man suspected of stealing packages worth thousands of dollars from people's homes a Grinch.
Sgt. Mark Moffett said Thursday that investigators tracked down 42-year-old Michael Wieczorek during a hunt for the thief who took a package from the porch of a Rancho Palos Verdes home.
Moffett said detectives searched his San Pedro home and found jewelry, toys and other items that had been reported stolen. They included a pair of pajamas underneath the Christmas tree that Wieczorek was going to give his mother.
Detectives said they also uncovered stolen mail -- including Christmas cards -- counterfeit driver's licenses, altered checks and fraudulent tax forms.
Wieczorek was arrested Wednesday. He posted $20,000 bond, and was ordered to appear in court Jan. 10.

If not quite formally winter, it is the December of our economic discontent. Though the sky is bright in places — jobs, housing market — storm clouds bloom like bruises on the horizon.
Here in Southern California, what is most clear five years after the nation's economic near-collapse is how very uneven the recovery has been. You can take heart, as the stock markets did late last week, in the news that unemployment levels dropped to 7 percent for the first time since 2008. But drill any deeper and you find how almost meaningless that figure is for so many workers and families. Plenty of people who had been looking for a job, including many older, laid-off workers, have simply stopped trying; they thus disappear from the statistics. And so many of the jobs that have been created are low-wage, low-benefit positions. It's nice that our hospitality industry is on the rebound, catering to the Chinese and German tourists here to take in Disneyland and the Hollywood sign, but those new desk-clerking jobs are not exactly a career at a Raytheon or a Boeing.
And Californians, at least, know the recovery hasn't benefited everyone equally. A survey by the Public Policy Institute of California released last week found that more than two-thirds of them believe the state is divided into haves and have-nots (and, even more tellingly, more people thought they were on the have-not side).
That belief is certainly underlying two labor strikes by very different groups of workers here last week.
Fast-food employees whose minimum-wage work makes possible the almost absurdly cheap hamburgers and fries central to perhaps too many Angeleno diets joined a nationwide walkout. It was part of a movement demanding an increase in the minimum wage. Is $15 an hour the perfect level to lift workers into the middle class? Hard to say, but restaurant owners say it would instead result in massive layoffs and faster implementation of computerized counter menus replacing workers. Whichever economic theory you subscribe to, the strike indicates a new concern about increasing income inequality in America.
To Adam Smith-ites: This isn't about growing an illogical compassion. A shrinking middle class is the worst trend for any consumer economy. Note the latest political push by California conservative activist Ron Unz, who created the infamous ballot initiative in 1998 eliminating bilingual education in the state; now he backs a big hike in the minimum wage. Not as high as $15 an hour, but to $12 by 2016 — a 50 percent hike over today's $8.
The other labor action last week was by government employees who are already in the middle class, most of them with master's degrees, and it wasn't about wages and benefits. Los Angeles County children's social workers walked off the job in protest of workloads that force many to juggle 40 or more cases each week of neglected and abused children rather than the 14 clients state guidelines recommend. They don't want more money — they want more social workers. So do we all, if we care about the future of those children and thus the future of Southern California society. County officials keep saying they have allocated more money to hire more social workers — and then not doing it.
The rise in caseload is surely connected to the steep rise in Southern California kids living in poverty. The planning group Southern California Association of Governments reported Thursday that between 1990 and 2012, the share of residents in the region living below the federal poverty level rose from 13 percent to 18 percent. Worse is that more than a quarter of all children in the region are now living in poverty.
You can confront this bleak economic landscape — in which the rich are getting richer, making those all-cash buys of homes just down your block, while more go homeless — by volunteering in the soup kitchens and the homeless shelters or giving to charity.
To rebuild an economy that will lift up all ships, not just 70-foot yachts, it will take cold, hard fiscal logic. "There are so many very low-wage workers, and we pay for huge social welfare programs for them," Unz told The New York Times last month. Raising the minimum wage "would save something on the order of tens of billions of dollars. Doesn't it make more sense for employers to pay their workers than the government?"
The U.S. economy teeters toward oligarchy at our peril. Poverty costs us all. Invest in people and we will reap a return.

We all love parties, whether it be a fancy wedding party or some casual get-together in Montague Gardens . If you are throwing a party in a restaurant, then you need not worry about the catering. However, if you plan to arrange a party at your house, you can well imagine how difficult it could be to cook food for 20 to 30 guests. In such a case, it is advisable that one hire a good catering service to do the job.
Event management companies will design and manage events, projects and programmes, whilst being strategic and creative in their thinking. They should have a dedicated team that can create, with you, all elements of your exclusive/bespoke event, programme or project.
Is it more expensive to use an event management company?
No, it is actually more cost-effective to use an event management company. Event Management companies will have cheaper rates and good relationships with suppliers and the expertise of organising and managing events can save you a lot of money.
Why can event management companies offer services cheaper than what I can get those services for?
Event management companies use suppliers, entertainment, venues, caterers services frequently and consequently obtain agency or discounted rates which they pass on to their clients. Event management companies buy services in mass, which end up a lot cheaper.
Can an Event Management company save me time?
Yes, an events management company will know exactly where to look for the services you want. If you were to look for these services yourself, it would cost you, which is often not included in budgets. Hidden costs incur in the manner of time, labour, transport, communications, etc
If you choose an Events Management company that don't own their own kit, you will benefit vastly because they will look around for the best equipment to suit your requirements and budget.
What percentage should I spend on décor and entertainment?
In an ideal situation, your budget should cater for equal amounts for food and beverage and for decor and entertainment. The more elaborate however your spending on decor and entertainment, the greater the impact on your function will have (but please do not under-cater).
Unfortunately, this ideal solution is seldom achievable, as most venues charge steep prices for food and beverage. Therefore it would also be workable if you allocate a minimum of thirty per cent (30%) for decor and entertainment.
How Event Management can bond your team
It is important to choose an Event Management company that has experience of working with top blue chip companies that engage and inspire.

DENVER—A Colorado state senator is visiting the White House to receive an honor given to openly gay, lesbian and transgendered public officials.
Democratic Sen. Pat Steadman of Denver is receiving the "Harvey Milk Champion of Change" award Wednesday. Ten such awards are given in memory of the slain gay-rights leader.
Steadman was a lead sponsor of Colorado's recently enacted civil unions law.
Steadman has been active in gay rights for much longer. In 1992, before he was a lawmaker, Steadman helped organize a lawsuit challenging Colorado's Amendment 2, an anti-gay initiative that was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1996.

Monoxide Thumbs a Ride (Mar, 1947)
Monoxide Thumbs a Ride
Drowsy while driving? Make sure carbon monoxide isn't poisoning you at the wheel. A checkup may save a life.
CARBON monoxide is a hitchhiker. We all know that this odorless gas, generated by an automobile at the rate of about a cubic foot a minute, will quickly turn a closed garage into a death chamber, but we are apt to overlook the fact that it rides along each time we drive out on the highway. Its handiwork shows up in traffic accident news more frequently than most persons "realize. The police* reports may say that the driver "apparently fell asleep," or perhaps a big question mark appears in the space where the cause of the accident should be recorded, since no one remains alive to tell about it. Some of these accidents, it is true, result from lack of sleep or just plain weariness after long hours of driving, but there seems to be no doubt that a good percentage occur when carbon monoxide, stealing a ride in the car, dulls the senses of the driver.
As an agent of death, carbon monoxide works by combining with the red corpuscles, preventing the blood from carrying oxygen throughout your body. A little goes a long way. Just two parts in 10,000 of air are enough to impair perceptions; and not much higher concentrations, breathed for a sufficient time, can prove fatal. When a car engine is operated in a closed garage, the air becomes dangerous to breathe within three minutes. Safety education has made most people aware of this, but comparatively few realize that there are equally important precautions that should be taken to minimize the danger of carbon monoxide out on the highway.
Tests conducted in Connecticut by the State Health Department and the Travelers Insurance Company underline the need for such precautions. Traces of carbon monoxide were found in nearly 50 per cent of a group of cars checked at random along the highway, and in more than 10 percent there were dangerous concentrations—enough to dull the senses, and possibly produce unconsciousness.
Concentrations of carbon monoxide below about 3.5 parts in 10,000 are not immediately dangerous, but if you are exposed long enough this amount will produce headache, mental dullness, and a sense of physical weariness. At 2 parts in 10,000, these primary symptoms generally occur in about two hours. Such symptoms, usually disregarded, are often the cause of inefficient driving and accidents.
Hence, if you ever develop a feeling of unreality while driving and the traffic and city street or countryside seem like something seen in a dream, it is high time that you open the car windows wide and pull up and park immediately until you again feel normal. Also, be wary of a headache that develops while you are driving.
If you suspect that an unsafe percentage of carbon monoxide is contaminating the interior of your car, you can make a test with the detector ampoules manufactured by the Mine Safety Appliances Company, of Pittsburgh. Although devised for the detection of dangerous carbon monoxide con-concentrations in manhole entrances, the ampoules are now used by garages, chemical plants, and other industries for the same purpose. They cost $1.25 for 10 ampoules.
Smaller than a cigarette, one of these ampoules will detect the presence of monoxide in air in concentrations as low as 2 or 3 parts in 10,000. They consist essentially of palladium chloride in an acetone-water (nonfreezing) solution, sealed in a glass tube surrounded by cotton.
In use, the ampoule is crushed between the fingers, allowing the solution to saturate the cotton. The ampoule is then left for 10 minutes in a place where carbon monoxide is suspected. Originally, the crushed ampoule is yellow. If monoxide is present, metallic palladium will darken the cotton, the depth of discoloration (running from a light gray to a grayish black) depending on the concentration of the gas. The concentration then can be determined by comparing the color of the ampoule after 10 minutes with the scale of colors on a chart furnished with the set. In a car you might place the crushed ampoule on top of the front ,seat, or better still,, hang it by a cord from the roof.
Contamination of the interior of a moving car may result either from the exhaust gases of your own car or those close ahead. A leaking exhaust system or a rusty or battered muffler often will allow the deadly gas to seep through cracks in the floor or doors. In some cars exhaust gases, instead of flowing away to the rear, actually move along with it because of the turbulent flow of air immediately behind, and monoxide-laden eddy currents may whip into the open windows—looking for a victim. If all of these sources of contamination joined forces, as easily they might, the cap could soon become a rolling death trap. Since carbon monoxide is a product of poor combustion, proper adjustment of the engine is an important factor in reducing the hazard. Experiments by the U. S. Bureau of Mines have shown that the proportion of this gas in automobile exhausts ranges from 1 to 13.72 percent and that the amounts vary widely at high and low speeds and with good and poor carburetion. As combustion efficiency increases, the monoxide content of the exhaust naturally decreases. The percentage may be as high as 13 from a poorly adjusted motor running at 50 percent efficiency. When the car has been tuned up to run at 80 percent efficiency, the monoxide content drops to 4 percent.
These percentages sometimes are put to use in reverse. Some garages have equipment to determine the monoxide content of a car exhaust. From this, it is possible to estimate the efficiency of the engine.

Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau
Madison County is a small county nestled in Northeast Nebraska. The total county population is 35,752 and includes Norfolk, Meadow Grove, Newman Grove, Tilden, Battle Creek and Madison, Nebraska. The goal of the Convention & Visitors Bureau is to attract out of town guests to Madison County (any of our communities) and to generate over night stays in local hotels/motels or bed and breakfasts. Our greatest claim to fame is that Johnny Carson is from here – but we're also known for our annual Great American Comedy Festival, the Madison County Fair, Elkhorn Valley Museum, Poppy's Pumpkin Patch, retail shopping, some recreational activities and other educational attractions.
Some words that describe the area might be: rest-easy, informal, homey, hospitable, strong, rugged, stable, compassionate, hard-working. People here are incredibly friendly, always willing to lend a hand, keep their word and make deals on a hand shake. It's starting to feel a bit more urban with the revitalization of downtown areas and increased shopping; however at the heart of things we're people with good values who like to do the right thing.
Our target audience: We likely draw the most visitors from Iowa, Eastern Nebraska (Omaha, Lincoln) and South Dakota. I would like potential visitors to feel like we're progressive yet grounded.
In my opinion, people who visit Madison County for an overnight stay or vacation do so because we offer freedom from the rat race. We offer plenty to do (for all ages) yet we're easy on the pocket-book. Many people have to come as we're a regional shopping and medical hub, however our goal it to entice them to WANT to come.
I will say one more thing. Norfolk is the biggest city in the County (23,000 people). The rub is that we NEED to support the entire county with this identity but unfortunately; the most recognized town in the county is Norfolk which helps people know where the county is in the State. I'm open to having just Madison County in the logo or a logo that works with both names.
The logo needs to apply easily across multiple media including print and online. I want people to feel something when they see Madison County – not just pass our ad by in a tourism publication.
I've attached our existing logo for your review – this is what we want to stay away from. It includes a square turn tractor, fossil beds, trails and the town of Norfolk. I've also attached logos from other Bureaus across the US for you to reference. I don't love them all but it's a place to start. We're not tied to any format or colors – I invite you to bring your creative "A" game and help us build a life-long brand for Madison County! Thank you in advance for your efforts!

Case Western's Offense, Defense Similar to Wabashby Jim Amidon • November 19, 2007 Share:
It's been 58 years since Wabash last met Case Western Reserve University on the football field, so you can't exactly call the two teams rivals. In fact, the Spartans and Little Giants have met only twice, in 1948 and 1949, splitting the two games.
But there are some striking parallels between Wabash and Case Western. Both teams have high-powered, high-scoring offenses and solid, play-making defenses. The schedules are similar, too. Wabash and Case Western each defeated NCAC members Oberlin, Denison, Wooster, and Ohio Wesleyan.
Both teams feature talented sophomore quarterbacks who have deep stables of speedy receivers as targets, and both are efficient passers who make very few mistakes.
The Spartans' Dan Whalen (6-1, 185) has completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,087 yards and 21 touchdowns and has been intercepted only five times in 283 attempts. Whalen is also an elusive runner, rushing for 346 yards and four touchdowns.
Whalen's favorite target is sophomore Tim Cowdrick, a 5-11, 180-pound speedster who has caught 59 passes for 850 yards and four touchdowns. Shaun Nicely, a 5-11, 190-pounder is just as effective. The freshman has pulled in 40 receptions for 583 yards and eight touchdowns, including a school record 97-yarder in last week's playoff win.
Sophomore Ryan Kolesar (6-2, 170) uses his height to his advantage and has averaged 14.2 yards on his 33 catches with five touchdowns. Freshman Brian Webster (5-9, 170) is a tough short yardage receiver with 23 catches and three touchdowns.
The Spartans balance their passing game with several proven rushers in the backfield. Eight men have carried at least 20 times this season. Hard-running sophomore Corey Checkan (5-8, 205) leads the team with 481 yards and 11 touchdowns; he averages 4.2 yards per carry and 44 yards per game. Freshman Billy Deitmen (5-10, 180) averages 4.4 yards per carry and has scored three touchdowns on 75 attempts. And Greg Meyer (5-10, 180) has rushed for 230 yards and three scores.
Senior Brendan Jones has a fullback's body (5-11, 200), but has good speed and averages 4.1 yards per carry.
A huge and experienced offensive line has done a good job of making holes and protecting Whalen. Seniors Brandon Jeffries (6-3, 310) and Tom Zagorski (6-1, 300), along with juniors Chris Center (6-3, 245) and Ryan Breon (6-3, 270) lead the way up front.
Like Wabash, the Spartans like to get off to a fast start. Through 11 games, Case Western has outscored its opponents 213-63 in the first half of games.
As good as Case Western's offense is, it's the defense that sets the tone. The Spartans allow just 289 yards and 14 points per game, and have forced 32 turnovers (18 interceptions, 14 lost fumbles).
Like Wabash's All-American linebacker Adi Pynenberg, Case boasts a linebacker who can dominate a game. Senior Tom Brew (6-2, 240) leads the team with 100 tackles, 11.5 of which have come behind the line. He's also intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble.
Fellow linebacker Jeff Brown (5-10, 190), a sophomore, has even more impressive numbers: 85 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, three interceptions, and three fumble recoveries. But it was senior Mike Tuertscher (6-0, 200) who led the team with eight tackles and an interception in last week's win over Widener.
For the second straight week in the playoffs, Wabash's quarterback and receivers will face a talented defensive secondary.
Junior Luiz Goncalves (5-11, 185) is the team's top defensive back with five interceptions, five pass breakups, and 57 tackles. Sophomore Bobby Bott has 60 tackles from his defensive back position and has broken up a team-high 10 passes.
Down linemen Brian Calderone (6-2, 225) and Gian Genovesi (6-2, 230) can stop the run and get pressure on the quarterback with 75 and 45 tackles, respectively. Calderone has a team-high 12 tackles for loss and six sacks, while Genovesi boasts eight sacks and nine tackles for loss.
Case Western has had to scrap to make it into the Division III playoffs and advance to the second round. The Spartans won at Chicago, before coming home for a 35-27 nail-biter over conference rival Washington University of St. Louis. They closed the season with a 20-17 home field win over Ohio Wesleyan.
As the number-two seed in the playoff bracket, Case Western hosted Widener in last week's first round. The Spartans trailed 20-15 with 1:27 remaining when Whalen led the team on a 14-play, 73-yard drive to win the game. Whalen hit Jeff Mayer for the game-winning touchdown pass. The talented quarterback converted on three fourth down plays on the drive.

Isometric projections are sometimes used in 2D drawings to help visualize how an object looks in three dimensions. Isometric projections are relatively easy to create since parallel edges remain parallel and the scale along all three axis is equal and constant.
QCAD has had an isometric projection tool for some time already. In the current development version of QCAD 3, an isometric grid has been added to extend this support for isometric drafting. The isometric grid is an alternative to the existing orthogonal grid and can be switched on and off using a tool button.
If you are working on a drawing with orthographic and isometric projections, it might be interesting to enable multiple viewports and configure some with an orthographic (regular) grid and others with an isometric one.
This way, you can construct flat, orthographic views of the object in the orthogonal view and project them into another view with an isometric grid. The screen shot shows a drawing with two views: an orthographic view with orthographic projections at the left and a view with an isometric grid on the right.
The drawing plane of the isometric grid can be changed to 'top', 'side' or 'front'. The drawing plane setting effects the display of the meta grid, the mouse cursor crosshairs and the behavior of the orthogonal mode.
To improve QCAD's support for isometric drawings with cylinders, two new projection tools have been added to create orthogonal and isometric projections of entities onto cylinder surfaces. In the screenshot above, all edges of boreholes through cylinders have been created using these new tools.
Update: A snapshot release of the current development version of QCAD 3 is now available in your download area.

Suitcases Of All Kinds, Sizes & Styles
There is such a broad range of suitcases on the market now with a myriad of features and innovations to make travelling so simple and to suit different types of travellers. Included in our range are hard suitcases, soft suitcases, 4-wheel suitcases, 2 wheels suitcases, business suitcases, super lightweight leisure suitcases and garment carriers. Read our quick summary to see what might work for you.
Hard Suitcases – made from polyurethane, polycarbonate or polypropylene, hard suitcases have a rigid outer shell and offer great protection to the contents inside from the rather rough handling of luggage. They normally pack through the centre in a 50/50 style and range in weight from ultra-lightweight (such as Samsonite's 'Curv' range) to mid-range through to heavier Oyster style suitcases with hinges that offer premium protection and security.
Soft Suitcases – normally made from thick and durable deniers, soft suitcases are normally very user friendly and easy to pack thanks to the pockets inside and out, expanding functionality and traditional lid style opening. Soft suitcases in general are lighter than hard suitcases, easier to use but not as secure as hard suitcases.
4 Wheel Suitcases – the majority of suitcases now are 4 wheels thanks to how easy they are to manoeuvre with very little effort. You can also easily place another bag on top of a 4-wheel suitcase, and it's possible to manage multiple suitcases at once.
2 Wheel Suitcases – whilst there are less available now in favour of 4 wheels, 2-wheel suitcases are great for cobblestones and rougher surfaces.
Cabin Suitcases – Cabin suitcases are typically the smallest size in the luggage range and have all the same features of the larger suitcases including wheels and a handle but are small enough to fit within the airline on board allowances. Many have additional features such as laptop compartments or expandability to make business travel easy. Use our carry-on guide to advise whether a suitcase is domestic (Virgin) or international carry on size (Qantas, Jetstar, Tiger and international).
Children's Luggage – Often buying cabin size suitcases in bright colourful colours is a better option for children. It is more durable, you can use it for other trips and it grows with them.
Still confused? Check out our blog guides to help you find the right one; soft vs. hard luggage.
The Luggage Professionals Suitcases Collection:
Navigating the different types of suitcases can be tricky, but when it comes to choosing the brand, you can choose with confidence from our range as we pay particular attention to ranging the leading brands who are innovative in their designs and their quality is backed by solid warranties and service options.

Developmental milestones record - 4 years
There are skills and growth markers expected in a typical 4-year-old child. These milestones are physical and mental developments considered normal for this age group.
Alternative Names
Normal childhood growth milestones - 4 years; Growth milestones for children - 4 years; Childhood growth milestones - 4 years

- Gains weight at the rate of about 6 grams per day
- Grows to a height that is double the length at birth
- Shows improved balance
- Hops on one foot without losing balance
- Throws a ball overhand with coordination

- Commonly has imaginary playmates
- Has an increased understanding of time
- Is able to tell the difference between two objects based on things like size and weight
- Lacks moral concepts of right and wrong
- Rebels if too much is expected of him or her
As the parent of a 4-year-old, you should:
- Encourage and provide space for physical activity
- Show the child how to participate in, and follow the rules of sporting activities
- Encourage play and sharing with other children
- Encourage creative play
- Teach children to do small chores, such as setting the table
- Read together
- Limit television watching to 2 hours a day of quality programs

PARAMUS New Jersey (Reuters) - Tiger Woods, battling back from a back injury, still drives fan interest and TV ratings and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem is as keen as the former world number one himself that he has a big 2014 finish.
Finchem told reporters on Tuesday there would be no medical exemptions made for the elite season-ending FedExCup playoffs, where the starting field is determined by points earned during the regular season.
However, he was not counting Woods out of the PGA Tour finale, even though he languishes 215th on the list with only the top 125 qualifying for the playoffs and time fast running out.
"It's a year-long competition," Finchem said at media day for next month's playoffs opening Barclays tournament at Ridgewood Country Club. "It (an exemption) kind of muddies up the comparative nature of the competition."
Woods is a massive 358 points outside the cut line for the four-event playoffs having played only five PGA Tour events this season, but he has two big chances to make up ground at venues where he has had great success.
This week, Woods will tee it up at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational starting on Thursday at Firestone Country Club where he has won eight times.
Then comes the Aug. 7-10 PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville, Kentucky, where Woods won the 2000 PGA crown.
"I'm looking forward to that player that you're referring to (Woods)...he's got a couple tournaments coming up where he's won on both golf courses and one on which he's won a lot of times," Finchem said.
"So I'm not one of those who are pessimistic about his immediate or long-term future in the sport."
A win at either tournament would catapult Woods into the FedExCup competition and also cement the American's case for inclusion on the U.S. Ryder Cup team to take on Europe at Gleneagles in Scotland from Sept. 26-28.
Woods matched Finchem's optimism at Monday's media day for the Aug. 29-Sept. 1 Deutsche Bank Championship, the second FedExCup event.
"The speed is developing. The speed is coming back, I continue to get stronger," said Woods, who missed nearly four months after having back surgery and whose best finish this year was a tie for 25th at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in March.
"I've gotten stronger, but we're just now introducing explosive training...which is nice. I'm excited about that."
It has not been all work for Woods, who took some time off after finishing 69th at the British Open to relax ahead of what he hopes will be a strong finish to the 2014 campaign.
"The past week I was with my kids, we were on a little vacation," Woods said. "And Lindsay (girlfriend Vonn) and myself and the kids, we just had a blast.
"And I was taking them out and we hit some balls. We had a good little time. We toured a little bit and even played a little putt-putt, which I won every single time," the ever competitive Woods said, drawing laughs from the press corps.
