911 Calls From Walmart Bleach Battle Released
911 calls from the altercation inside a Baltimore County Walmart where two women began throwing liquid bleach and ammonia at each other, leaving 19 hospitalized from the resulting toxic chemical reaction, have been released.
WJZ obtained the calls:
Dispatcher: "Baltimore County 911, what's the address of the emergency?"
Caller: "There's a fight in the middle of Wal-Mart on Washington Boulevard. You need to get some radio cars up here quick."
Dispatcher: "Are there any weapons involved?"
Caller: "No, but they are using chemicals to throw at each other."
Dispatcher: "And they're hitting each other?"
Caller: "Yeah. Throwing chemicals, liquid bleach, yeah."
Dispatcher: "Throwing bleach at each other?"
Caller: "Yeah."
The fight occurred between two women, one of whom was dating the ex-boyfriend of the other, who also shared a child with the man.
With so much acreage filled with all sorts of tools and supplies, and little oversight by the zombified staff, crazy stuff is bound to happen in the aisle of Walmart. Also, ammonia and bleach create a deadly gas when combined, so don't do that.

Long time no see my friends? eh?
been too busy, and the last few days were the most hectic , as I was undergone an Cochlear Implantation Surgery to regain my hearing loss..I got operated on Thursday , had minorities , like excessive bleeding,thick skull , and a few other problems , plus the doctors forgot that I was hypotasic and gave me the wrong kind of meds..hence the bleeding..
I got discharged last afternoon, and since then I've been at home , recuperating and trying to reorder my apartment ( it's a mess ) and my life..I also got the implant activated pretty early , this monday..till now , I can't stand hearing for more than 20 minutes at a time , but I hope , over time , to maximise it.
I am hoping that everything will be fine from now on , been too hectic to write, but I occasionally spoke with Gail on MSN..
If you have any q&a for my operations , feel free to ask , and in a few days I will post again my first impressions..Sound is so vital..and to leave you with food for thought..has anyone of you , ever thought , that the sweetest sound is when you kiss someone and can hear it too? I heard it a few days ago, and I still am marveling this thought..
Have the best of days!!

The Academy Award-winning writer who brought the world "Milk" is set to bring the story of Proposition 8 to Broadway.
Dustin Lance Black will bring the drama of the fight to overturn gay marriage in California in the form a play that will be directed Tony Award-winning actor and director Joe Mantello.
The project is still in the early stages, with Black putting together a script based on the transcripts of the trial.
But about a dozen prominent figures from the trial, including the defense counsel, couples involved with the suit against California and their lawyers.
The play will simply be called "8" and casting will be announced later. It is first scheduled to be performed at a fundraiser in New York City on Sept. 19.

The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) is proposing that the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) revise its standard specification format to include a new division on Integrated Building Systems. Brooke Stauffer, NECA's director of codes and standards, made the announcement during a panel discussion on specification issues at the recent Electric East 2001 show in Orlando.
"CSI's MasterFormat system has proved its value to our industry over nearly 40 years of use," Stauffer told the audience. "Now it needs to be updated to reflect the rapid evolution in electrical power, communications and computerized control systems. NECA intends its revision to help bring the construction industry's leading spec system into the 21st century. In particular, we think MasterFormat should reflect the reality of today's fully integrated, fully networked buildings."
NECA proposes consolidating all the electrical power, communications and control systems, currently scattered throughout various parts of the MasterFormat system, into a brand-new division entitled "Integrated Building Systems." This approach is said to provide these major benefits to those who specify, construct, own and occupy new buildings.
Improved construction efficiency and scheduling;
Better integration of all building electrical and electronic systems including telecommunications, life safety, security access control and local area networks (LANs);
One-point responsibility for the installation and proper functioning of interrelated power, communications and control subsystems;
Improved compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC) safety requirements for grounding and firestopping, which are critical to the safety of building occupants.

trace wire?
I have seen some of that nylon coated trace wire in fishing tackle shops – that would also probably do the trick. If you use pliers you can tie overhand knots to lock it off.
I've fixed a couple of broken trigger wires. I used trace wire that I bought from a fishing store (MIAS in Woodmeade, JHB). Remember to take along a piece of your origional trigger wire to get the right gauge. The wire is quite costly about R100 for 10m or so but that should last you a lifetime. You can also buy metal crimping sleaves at the fishing store, they should be at least 2.5 time the diameter of the wire your have but they're not costly items so if you get it wrong it's not a huge deal. Then you need to get your hands on a crimping tool and a set of wire-cutters. The actual replacing of the wires is pretty easy so I'm not going to go into detail.
Good luck.
Good luck.

"We discussed … our frustrations with some of our reports not showing us what we really needed to see," Dennis Pastor writes Co.Design. We came to the conclusion that our processes were 3-dimensional but our reports were only 2-dimensional. We needed to see them 3-D; hand sketches were exchanged over the weekend and within the following week, GM had the first LEGO prototype in use. But beyond their transparency, there may be a bigger advantage to Legos: they're also fun. By mapping real world problems to an icon of our youth, each challenge must be approached with an inherent playfulness. And because Legos are, by their very nature, expected to be rebuilt, patterns don't appear stuck in stone–or just as bad–printed in ink. Now, if only we could get the Lego pirate ship or a lunar rover in the mix, we'd really have something."
This is the second article that talks about the use of Legos as a tool/toy for adults to represent ideas in a three-dimensional form and, to have "fun" in the process. We know that children use all blocks in the same way – to visualize, test and retest ideas since the flexibility of blocks allows them to knock them down and rebuild again. It is curious that Pastor wants to add the Lego pirate ship or the lunar rover which seems to be the opposite idea of the non-representational, open-ended, and therefore, flexible nature of the Lego brick and, of blocks in general.

No, I'm not talking about my kitties. I'm talking about my hunter pets! Pets are one of the things that first drew me to the hunter class. Who doesn't like the thought of cute, furry little creatures as your faithful companions, always by your side, ripping out the throats of your enemies.
My Pets
My first, and favorite pet is Toby. When I decided to play a hunter, I knew that I wanted a tiger as my pet. As soon as I could, I left the blood elf starting zone and hoofed it over to Durotar to tame him. I'm a cat person, I'm still sad that cats don't provide the best DPS anymore. Hopefully this changes in Cataclysm and I can use Toby again.
Raptor was my second pet. Poor thing never even got a proper name. My real reason for taming him? He matched my favorite mount. If only I could get a pair of boots that matched them both…
I had a hard time finding a tanking pet that I liked. I had tried a bear on a previous hunter that got abandoned. For a long time I had a turtle, Koopa. Then I decided to get a gorilla. I liked that they could Thunderstomp. As I wandered around Feralas looking for one to tame, a couple of my guildies were talking about The Curse of Monkey Island. Thus, Guybrush was born.
Midway through Wrath, I decided I should have a cunning pet to round out my stable. I'm annoyed by flying pets, so it had to be either a serpent or a spider. Flying around Sholazar, I found this pretty, pink snake. His name is Trouser.
The last pet I tamed, and my current raiding pet, is Kitty. When I decided I needed a wolf to maximize my dps, I wanted to get a nice looking one. I was not going to have one of the scrawny looking things from Storm Peaks. This is my favorite wolf look in the game. Kitty also matches one of my mounts.
Pets I Wish I Had
I've always wished I could tame a zhevra. I was tempted to recruit a "friend" so I could get one for a mount, but what I really want is to have one as a pet. It may not look too intimidating compared to the other options, but I think that horn could make it a force to be reckoned with.
I also wish I could have my kitty Max as a hunter pet. He may be small, but he has a special ability that is unique to him. If hostile entities look at Max for too long, their heads explode from the sheer overload of cute. Messy, but effective.

Achievement Gap Continues to Narrow As Student Population Becomes More Diverse
September 2007
"These results are the latest addition to a growing amount of data that proves No Child Left Behind is working. By setting high standards and holding schools accountable for results, our students are making more academic progress than ever before. The long-standing achievement gap continues to shrink even as the student population becomes more diverse. The work is getting harder, but we're doing it better. Teachers and students are rising to the challenge and they deserve tremendous praise for this latest success.
"As we work to reauthorize No Child Left Behind this fall, it's important we maintain the core principles fueling the significant progress we're seeing for all students. I look forward to working with Congress to craft a bill that strengthens the law without undermining the foundation of accountability that has turned the tide in American education."
Secretary Margaret Spellings
Newest Nation's Report Card Shows Continued Progress
The latest Nation's Report Card, released today, shows continued growth and gains by America's schoolchildren, particularly among younger and minority students, including Hispanic students. The results, from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2007 benchmark exam of fourth- and eighth-graders, confirm that real progress is being made in realizing the promise of No Child Left Behind for millions of students.
Closing the Achievement Gap and Realizing the Promise of NCLB
The latest NAEP results show that achievement gaps are narrowing even as our student population continues to grow more diverse. The results also show Hispanic students posting all time highs in a number of categories.
Highlights include:
- Hispanic fourth graders and eighth graders achieved their highest mathematics and reading scores in the history of the test.
- In the four years between 2003 and 2007, math scores at 4th grade went up 5 points. That's equivalent to adding an extra half-year of instruction to 4th grade. These gains were driven in part by progress by Hispanic students (up 5 points since 2003).
- The percentage of eighth grade Hispanic students with fundamental reading skills rose from 56% in 2005 to 58% in 2007. That change represents about 32,300 more students with fundamental reading skills.
- Since 2003, the achievement gap in math between white and Hispanic and white and African-American and 8th graders narrowed by three points, while at the same time all three groups made significant academic gains.
- Math scores for 8th grade students rose significantly since 2005 (up 2 points), driven in part by gains among Hispanic students (up 3 points).
Advancing Academic Gains Under NCLB
The No Child Left Behind Act is working to bring all students up to grade level in reading and math, to close the achievement gap, and to hold schools accountable for results. With NCLB, we set an historic goal of every child reading and doing math on grade-level by 2014. The NAEP results prove that we are making significant progress towards that all important goal.
Across the country, forty-eight states and the District of Columbia either improved academically or held steady in all categories. The new results show across-the-board improvement in 4th and 8th grade reading and math.
Highlights include:
- Reading scores for 4th graders were higher than they've ever been in the history of the Nation's Report Card.
- Math scores for 4th and 8th graders were higher than they've ever been in the history of the Nation's Report Card.
- Higher percentages of 4th grade students performed at or above Basic and Proficient in reading and math than in any previous assessment.
- Since 2002, 4th graders have shown significant increases in reading, with the highest rate of gains for lower-performing students. These are the kids who were previously left behindthe kids for whom we expect NCLB to have the greatest impact.
- All students are increasing achievement in math. Since 2003, gains in math have occurred for both higher and lower performing children at both 4th and 8th grades.
About the Nation's Report Card
- The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), commonly known as the Nation's Report Card, is the yardstick used to measure learning in each state across the country. Through two components, the long-term trend assessment (released every four years) and the main and state-by-state assessment (now released every two years), the Nation's Report Card measures what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. The 2007 main assessment, released today, includes national and state-by-state scores for 388,700 fourth-graders and 313,700 eighth-graders tested in reading and mathematics. The NAEP is carried out by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education. It is overseen by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), a bipartisan group of governors, state legislators, local and state school officials, educators, business representatives, and members of the general public.

LIMERICK - An environmental group's attempt to argue that Exelon Nuclear must consider 'alternatives' to preventing severe disasters at its Limerick Generating Station before the plant's license is renewed for another 20 years was rejected Wednesday by a federal panel.
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board cited not the merits of the argument made by the Natural Resources Defense Council but rather the conflict between the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations and the National Environmental Policy Act, enacted in 1970.
(Click here to read the entire decision and a reporter's notes on the document.)
The decision's authors wrote that the NRC's request that the matter be decided 'leaves us in a difficult and ambiguous situation.'
In fact, the authors wrote, the way the regulations are set up, the environmental group's effort to have a new study of new threats and new science as part of the re-licensing review for Limerick is functionally impossible.
'Our review of the regulations leads us to conclude that this is an impossibility,' the three-judge panel wrote of NRDC's request for more study of potential new safety threats, particularly those resulting from the issues related to the increasing age of the plant, which went fully on-line with both reactors in 1989.
'NRDC was faced with the seemingly impossible task of demonstrating that the purpose of ' the regulation at the heart of the dispute, '(i.e. to grant Limerick an exemption from the (SAMA) requirement) would be frustrated by granting Limerick an exemption from the SAMA requirement,' the judges wrote.
SAMA stands for 'Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives' and, ironically, it was incorporated into NRC rules as the result of a legal challenge to Limerick's original license 28 years ago made by a more local environmental group called Limerick Ecology Action.
The 1985 challenge came at a time when NRC regulations did not require those applying for a license to consider SAMAs.
In 1989, a U.S. Court of Appeals agreed with the environmentalists and ruled that the National Environmental Policy Act required the SAMA evaluation.
In 1996, the NRC changed its regulations and required all new license application to include SAMAs, but exempted those which had already conducted such a study, a small group of nuclear facilities that includes Limerick, which had completed its SAMA study under the previous court order.
When Exelon applied for a 20-year renewal of the licenses for its two nuclear reactors in 2011, NRDC petitioned authorities to intervene in the process and as a result, brought to the fore 'the interplay between two seemingly contradictory NRC regulations,' as described by the judges panel in the decision Wednesday.
The NRDC's lawyers 'seem to have done the most they could in a confusion situation,' the panel wrote.
But they nevertheless concluded that even though events like the nuclear accident at Fukushima two years ago have revealed new dangers for consideration in disaster prediction, the NRC's rules do not allow a formal new analysis of new threats and ways to mitigate them to be considered as part of the license renewal process.
Noting that NRC seems to have determined 'one SAMA analysis is enough,' the judges wrote that the rules mean 'once an applicant has performed a SAMA analysis, even if it was performed almost 25 years ago, the applicant does not need to perform another, regardless of whether new SAMA candidates have been discovered in the interim.'
'We're still working our way through the decision,' said Geoff Fettus, a senior attorney with the NRDC who responded to The Mercury's request for comment.
Quoting the ruling itself, Fettus said NRDC agrees that the situation poses a 'Catch-22,' which a footnote in the decision document defines as 'a paradoxical situation in which an individual cannot or is incapable of avoiding a problem because of contradictory constraints or rules.'
'The National Environmental Policy Act tells us we have to go through Door Number One, but NRC regulations say no, we have to go through Door Number Two, except we can't go through Door Number Two,' said Fettus.
Not too surprisingly, Exelon was satisfied with the decision.
'The board's decision was another step forward in a lengthy process designed to examine and independently validate how the station will continue safe and reliable operations throughout the extended licensing period,' Dana Melia, communications manager for the plant, wrote in an e-mail responding to The Mercury's request for comment.
'We are pleased that the Board ruled in a timely manner and look forward to the Commission's views on the decision,' she wrote.
'Limerick's license renewal application is one of the strongest in the country and remains on-track, testament to the station's history of safe and environmentally-conscious operations,' wrote Melia.
That track will not come to an end until 2014 at the earliest.
Although Exelon continues to wend its way through the re-licensing process, any final decision on all license renewals is on hold while NRC grapples with the results of an entirely different court decision - one which requires the agency to study the environmental impact of the long-term storage of spent fuel rods at Limerick, and every other nuclear plant in the country.
The spent fuel remains radioactive for thousands of years and last June, a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled the NRC's blanket regulation assuring the adequacy of the environmental protections at all sites is impractical, and an analysis of the impacts at each site must be conducted.
That issue is another on which NRDC sought to have an impact on Limerick's re-licensing application.
NRC decided against appealing this re-fueling ruling, but has not finalized how it will comply. In the meantime, it suspended all decisions on re-licensing.
Whether that delay provides enough time for this latest legal tangle to be undone remains to be seen.
'At the heart of this is we are facing a situation that surpasses understanding,' Fettus said. 'If it's not resolved, so we can litigate these issue, NRC must assess if its own process poses a legal challenge to the National Environmental Policy Act.'
Any resolution will require further deliberation.
NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan indicated that with its decision, 'the ASLB panel is referring the matter back to the five-member, presidentially appointed Commission that oversees the NRC for its views.'

Women's Health: Treating Pelvic Floor Disorders
Let's face it - talking about certain topics makes us uncomfortable. As children, many of us were taught that discussing bathroom habits and sexual issues was impolite, naughty, or out and out taboo. It's no wonder then, as grown women, we often shy away from discussing topics related to bladder and bowel control, sexual discomfort and pain "down there" – symptoms of pelvic floor disorders.
We understand that many women are reluctant to share such intimate details. As physical therapists, the first step in treatment is to earn the patients' trust, so they can feel free to discuss how they are feeling. At Good Shepherd, we take time to educate our patients about the pelvic floor, which consists of a group of muscles that acts like a sling to support the pelvic organs – the bladder, uterus, urethra, vagina and rectum. Contracting and relaxing these muscles controls bowel and bladder movements.
Several medical conditions and other factors can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, such as:
- Abdominal or back surgery
- Stroke
- Spinal cord injuries
- Diseases like Parkinson's and diabetes
- Trauma to the pelvic area caused by childbirth, sexual assault, falls or other accidents
If fact, more than half of women age 55 and older suffer from one or more of the problems caused by pelvic floor disorders, according to the American Urogynecologic Society. Symptoms include:
- Pain in groin, hip, legs or low back
- Uncoordinated muscle contractions causing the pelvic floor muscles to spasm
- Urinary issues, such as leaking, urgency, frequency, hesitancy or retention
- Bowel issues, for example: constipation, incontinence and rectal pain
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse
Good Shepherd therapists get to know our patients by listening closely to their concerns. Then, we develop a plan of treatment that addresses the patient's goals and fits her lifestyle.
Treatment strategies often include pelvic floor exercises, retraining of muscles, posture recommendations and stretching. The body's core is a tube, where abdominal, back, pelvic floor and diaphragm muscles all work together to build a strong trunk. We focus on strengthening (or relaxing) these muscles, while teaching patients to walk using proper posture with appropriate muscle firing.
Good Shepherd creates an environment where patients can talk freely about their symptoms and treatment. For more information about Women's Health services at Good Shepherd, call 1-888-44-REHAB (73422) or contact us.

I love making cultured (also known as lacto-fermented) foods. After taking about 6 months off from fermenting (save a battle with 20 heads of cabbage that resulted in 7 gallons of kraut), I'm back at it. Last week I made some lovely Cultured Curried Carrot Sticks, and now I've been bit hard by the fermentation bug.
Cultured and lacto-fermented foods - such as sauerkraut, fermented vegetables, yogurt, miso, kombucha, and kvass - are rich in probiotic bacteria, enzymes, and amino acids. These foods aid digestion, increase immunity, and help alkalize the body. While everyone can benefit from consuming fermented cultured foods, they are especially beneficial if you are recovering from chronic illness, allergies, yeast infections, or have taken antibiotics recently. Many natural grocery stores and co-ops offer wonderful cultured and fermented foods, but they are often costly. I prefer to make most of mine at home - it is simple and much more affordable!
These cultured carrot sticks can easily be made year-round. Make them now using sweet and tender young carrots from the spring garden, and use larger carrots as the summer goes on and as summer wanes to fall. If you can store carrots in cold storage for winter, or actually get local carrots through the colder months, you're in luck, and can make this even when the snowflakes start to fly! But if I were you, I'd make lots of jars through spring, summer, and fall, and take the winter off and rely on your stash. Jars of cultured carrots will last 6-8 months when kept in cold storage! And besides, the longer they sit, the better they taste; cultured foods age like fine wines.
I took a few jars of these carrot sticks to the second MPLS Swappers food swap over the past weekend (if you want to read more about the MPLS Swappers, check out our blog). I organize this event with my friends A-K and Mandy, and it was a big success once again! All my jars of carrots were swapped in no time. Thankfully, I reserved a couple of jars at home for myself and let them ferment a few days longer, to get nice and sour the way I like them. And when I opened that jar after 7 days, those carrots bubbled.
It's aliiiiiiive, ha ha ha ha ha!
Cultured Curried Carrot Sticks
yield 6 pints or 3 quarts
These carrot sticks are slightly sour, slightly salty, slightly spicy, and plenty crunchy. They have a beautiful bright orange color, due in part to the addition of curry powder. Serve along side sandwiches or wraps, Indian-style meals, as part of a relish tray, or eat straight out of the jar. Cultured carrot sticks can also be finely chopped and added to relishes, salsas, or chutneys for a healthful probiotic kick.
Metal reacts with fermented foods, so remove carrot sticks from jars with wood or plastic utensils and serve in non-metallic bowls/trays.
- 4 pounds carrots, peeled and trimmed
- 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 fresh cayenne peppers, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and seeded
- 6 Tbsp whey***
- 3 Tbsp unrefined salt
- 3 tsp whole coriander seeds
- 30 shelled whole cardamom seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
- filtered water
Heat a small heavy bottomed sauté pan over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds and lightly toast, stirring often, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and place in a small bowl to cool.
Slice carrots into 3-4 inch lengths about 1/4-inch x 1/4-inch. prepare other vegetables as directed. Thinly slice one of the halved cayenne peppers cross-wise.
If using pint jars...
Add 1 sliced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp coriander seeds, 5 cardamom seeds, 1/4 tsp curry powder, 1 Tbsp whey, and 1 1/2 tsp salt to jar. Then tightly pack with carrot sticks and one of the cayenne pepper halves. Sprinkle with a few slices of cayenne pepper. Then fill with water within 1 inch of the top.
If using quart jars...
Add 2 sliced garlic cloves, 1 tsp coriander seeds, 10 cardamom seeds, 1/2 tsp curry powder, 2 Tbsp whey, and 3 tsp salt to jar. Then tightly pack with carrot sticks and two of the cayenne pepper halves. Sprinkle with a few slices of cayenne pepper. Then fill with water within 1 inch of the top.
Tightly close jars, and shake lightly to distribute ingredients and dissolve salt. Then place jars in a tray and set on the counter at room temperature for 4-7 days. Try them at 4 days and see if you want them to be more sour or not, to get them more sour and softer leave them out at room temperature longer. While I enjoyed them at 4 days (they were very crunchy and a little tart/sour), I liked them best after 7 days (softer but still crunchy and more intensely sour). If you let them sit for 7 days, they will bubble quite a bit when you open them - that's live food, friends! In warmer weather, your carrots will ferment more quickly, so be sure to check in on them periodically.
After fermenting at room temperature, keep in your fridge. If you can, wait a week or two before eating them - the flavor will intensify. The longer they sit, the better they are! Like all ferments, these will last for 6-8 months when kept in cold storage.
***A Note on Whey
Whey is the watery liquid remaining after milk has been curdled (yogurt) and strained. Full of enzymes, probiotic bacteria, vitamins, and minerals, whey can be used for making fermented foods and beverages, and is also a healthful drink on its own. Whey can be made easily at home by straining yogurt. Strained yogurt is thick, rich, and creamy, and has a more intense flavor than unstrained yogurt.
To strain yogurt, I generally line a medium sized fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth or a large coffee filter, place it on top of a bowl, and put 2-4 cups of yogurt in the lined strainer. I cover lightly with a towel and let strain for 12-24 hours. You can do it on the counter, or you can put it in the fridge. The site Wonderful Ingredients also offers up two good methods for straining yogurt.
If you are intolerant to lactose, whey is probably not a good choice for you. Some individuals who are casein sensitive may be able to tolerate whey, but cross contamination is highly likely. So, if you are intolerant or don't have whey (or plain yogurt) on hand, you can make this recipe without whey with success. Simply omit the whey and double the amount of sea salt - the increased quantity of salt will help preserve the carrots and stave off unfriendly bacteria in the whey's absence.

Lesson Plan for Great Expectations
To allow students to become active learners and even teachers as they
and understand Great Expectations.
(Ninth grade, six weeks)
- Lecture: Definition by the teacher of the genre, the four elements
of fiction (character, plot, setting, and theme), and many literary
terms that will allow students an opportunity to speak about the book.
- Reading assignments: About 25 pages a night.
- First 28 or 29 chapters: Reading quizzes on the nightly assignments (objective, non-interpretive questions) Also, notes on the rise of the novel; Dickenss contribution to the genre; his symbolist method; and the social and political changes and criticisms that the novel presents to readers.
- From Chapter 29, once the love story has begun, students take over teaching. In groups of two or three, students are assigned two consecutive chapters each. The aim is to encourage students to take ownership of their learning and to develop cooperative and respectful skills. Students have a week to prepare to teach their assigned chapters according to a required format. The format requires a handout, which should raise themes, include questions for discussion or essays, and propose motifs and major concerns raised in the assigned chapters regarding the elements of fiction. The format also includes guidelines for evaluationboth the content and the form. Creativity is encouraged, as is ownership of the novel and of the moral, social, and philosophical issues raised by the text.
- Students have a full class period to teach their chapters. They are in charge, deciding on such matters as quizzes to give and so on, all under teacher guidance.
- Students must reflect thoughtfully on their teaching and then write a five-paragraph essay evaluating that experience, which is evaluated by the teacher. The essay should reveal that learning is an active process, one in which the teachers make discoveries.
Assignment to Students (Handout)
Great Expectations Assignment and Guidelines for Oral Reports/Teaching the Class:
- You must have a handout that includes the information itemized below; you may arrange this information in the format that best suits your chapters and your teaching style. You will be evaluated not only on your knowledge of the novel, but also on the effectiveness of your teaching methods and style, so be creative and try to engage your audience fully in the subject matter through lively discussion.
- This information will appear on the formal Great Expectations test,
as well as the final exam, so it behooves you to do a thorough job
as teacher. In effect, you should become a master of your chapters,
and the class should be a thoughtful, inquisitive audience.
- You need to present a provocative analysis that looks carefully at
the individual elements listed in the guidelines below.
- You may decide to place some challenging questions at the end of your
handout, questions or problems that you had when analyzing the chapters.
- You may give a quiz, but it must be fair and thoughtful. Remember
that you will have to grade it, so you will want to make the questions
- Do not give biographical information about the author in your report
or the handout.
Guidelines for Handouts
(Listed in no particular order)
- Major issues raised in the chapters: For example, identity, class,
race, family relations, church, social problems, education (formal
and informal), and ethical choices and dilemmas.
- Elements of fiction: Write a plot summary of your chapters. Identify
conflicts (internal/external) and discuss possible resolutions.
Identify the setting(s) for events in your chapters and how the setting(s)
affect the conflicts youve identified. Identify characters major
recognitions that occur in the chapters.
- Dialogue: How is dialogue used (i.e., to reveal character or social
problems)? What does the dialogue reveal to you about British culture,
fears, and/or contradictions?
- Literary devices: irony (verbal, situational, dramatic), imagery,
metaphor, symbols, simile, catalogs, personification, parallel sentence
structure, puns, satire, tone, etc.
- When appropriate, give evidence of capitalism in your chapters
and explain.
- Type out key passages from your chapters for the classs consideration.
- Identify any motifs and discuss what the motifs suggest.
- State the theme or themes of your chapters. Suggest
topics for three papers.
- Identify questions or issues for discussion raised by the chapters,
as well as current events and/or movies that are related
to issues in the novel.
- Identify any historical allusions that appear in your chapters.
- What moral virtues appear in your chapters, and who or what demonstrates these virtues? What vices appear in your chapters, and who or what demonstrates these vices?

KABUL — The Taliban has massed hundreds of fighters in Helmand province in its most ambitious attempt this year to seize ground as the U.S. combat mission winds down in Afghanistan, according to Afghan officials.
The fighting has gone on for nearly a week in the southern province, a former Taliban stronghold, demonstrating the insurgency's ability to mobilize against much improved, but still inexperienced, Afghan security forces.
As of Saturday, the exact toll from the violence remained unclear, but at least several dozen civilians, soldiers and police officers had been killed, Afghan officials said.
"It was a coordinated and organized attack on northern Helmand," said Omer Zowak, the provincial spokesman. "Afghan security forces have pushed the Taliban back . . . but they are resisting in some parts of Sangin district."
Sangin, the main target of the Taliban offensive, lies in a valley along the Helmand River where for years insurgents have staged periodic attacks on Afghan and international troops. This week, 45 civilians were killed in Sangin alone and 4,000 were displaced, according to the district's governor, Sulaiman Shah.
"The Taliban booby-trapped people's home, putting bombs in front of their houses," Shah said. "The situation was very bad."
When U.S. troops began to leave Helmand last year, many American officials predicted that the Taliban would try to dominate the Afghan forces left in charge of Sangin.
For years, the district's poppy harvest and drug production centers had been a financial boon to insurgents. Over the past two summers, though, the Taliban has appeared to make retaking Sangin a priority.
The past week's fighting spread to the districts surrounding Sangin, leading to reinforcements being sent to the area. Top Afghan commanders from Kabul flew over the area in helicopters to assess the situation.
The assault appears to be the insurgents' most effective attempt to date to gain ground in Helmand.
Sediq Sediqi, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, suggested that more than 1,000 insurgents were involved in the attack. Afghan officials insisted Saturday that the fighting was nearing an end, with troops refusing to cede territory.
"The clearing operation is going on. We've killed hundreds of Taliban fighters," said Gen. Zahir Azimi, a spokesman for the Afghan National Army, who added that the Taliban had failed in its bid to destabilize Helmand.
But the Taliban said its efforts had yielded enormous gains. On its official Web site, the organization claimed to have overrun five government outposts in Sangin.
After the U.S. troop surge began in 2009, thousands of Marines were sent to northern Helmand, where the casualty rate was among the highest in the war.
In March 2011, then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates called Sangin "a major strategic breakthrough."
Security has deteriorated significantly since then. Afghan officials still believe the government's hold on the district can be sustained, but their confidence is conditional.
"I do believe in the Afghan security forces, but I have a demand for the international community," said Shah, the district governor. "Before they leave, they should equip our army and police with mortar equipment and strengthen our air force."

Why does Apple own iPodSolar.com?
Today Macrumors discovered the Apple is now the own of the website iPodSolar.com. You can see from the picture above or if you do a WHOIS search on the domain that it was registered in 2007. Until recently the domain was registered by MarkMonitor, a brand protection firm used by Apple and other companies to keep their ownship private. If you go to the URL now forwards to the iPod page on Apple.com.
The following is an exceprt from MacRumors posts about this:
Apple's interest in solar cell technology for its products has been evident for many years based on patent applications covering the technology. A report from several months ago indicated that Apple has indeed been holding discussions about solar technology with several Taiwanese vendors, although any such projects would still be in the research stage and not yet near a public release.
Drawing from Apple's new patent showing iPod with integrated solar cells
Coincidentally, Patently Apple reports that Apple was just today awarded a patent for a power management system that would enable the company to place solar cells on the exterior of devices such as iPods and integrate that power source with an internal battery. The patent was filed for in mid-2008 and was first revealed in early 2010 as the patent application was released to the public.
So what are your thoughts on why Apple owns this domain? Do you think Apple would make an iPod that had some sort of solar charging? It wouldn't make for the best looking design, which Apple is known for, but then again if anyone can make it look good its them.

When our local Scout Executive announced there would be an after party at the scout center after the Monster Jam show at the civic center, I stopped the derby projects I was working on and figured I'd try to make a monster truck to show the scouts. I decided on an Order of the Arrow Humvee. Specifically, a Takhonek Lodge OA Humvee (of which my son is a member). I'm not 100% happy with it, I rushed to do it in less than a week and sadly it shows. I raised it up, but not enough it seems. It doesn't look anywhere close to as monster-truckish as I had hoped. I glued the roof rack and kayaks on an hour before the party, it's still missing some details and it could have used some more sanding in spots.
I think it needs some bumpers or grill work and next time I'm gong to try colored Sharpie on the wheels not paint. I'll tinker with it some and then it goes in the tubs with the other 55.

TEXAS A&M Media Day (Transcripts)
On was there a moment when you took a step back and were just surprised about all the things that happened this season: "As a coach, especially the way our season evolved with so many things happening, number one the first game being postponed and really eliminating our bye week and going 12 straight weeks really was to handle the game that Saturday, deal with it win or lose and then move on to the next game. It probably wasn't until, I don't know, even when we were in New York sometime, flying around to these awards shows, I think that is when it kind of hit you that we have accomplished a lot as a team and a lot as individuals. When you are inside it, involved in it week to week, it becomes very, very routine, if you will. It says a lot about this team. To go through what this team went through with the postponement of the first game. To have the first game to be a home game, number one, and to have (College) Gameday there, the atmosphere of the first game to be against Florida. To lose that game in a tough manner and respond into really 12 straight weeks without a bye and play the way they did, I think that is a tribute to our senior leadership, how our guys handled it, our coaching staff and handling it week to week. You don't have an opportunity to think about things until a break a couple weeks after that."
Thoughts on being only the second African-American coach to be named the SEC Coach of the Year: "As a matter of fact, I haven't thought about it. It is a great honor to be the SEC Coach of the Year, number one, with the number of coaches involved in this league. There could have been an argument for a lot of different guys. I think it, particularly from a coach's standpoint who gets to vote and from the AP standpoint. As it relates to race, I hope we are to the point one day where that question is not asked. What I do, people see me as a coach and not a black coach. The more success we have, the closer we will get to that being a reality."
On relationship with Bob Stoops and how much he has impacted his coaching career: "Coach Stoops has obviously had a huge influence on my coaching career. We have known each other for a long time. People might be surprised that we played in the same league, he was leaving when I was coming to Purdue. Mike (Stoops) was playing and so was Jay Norvell at Iowa. I was playing at Purdue. Then as we moved in coaching we were actually recruiting South Florida together and recruiting a lot of the same players whether I was at Minnesota or Purdue and he was at Kansas State. We were head to head all the time on the ground down there. Both of us had tough jobs trying to get guys to leave Miami and Fort Lauderdale to go to Manhattan, Kansas and Minneapolis, Minnesota or West Lafayette (Indiana). Over the course of time, we have kept in touch and then he hired me. I spent five years at Oklahoma. It was five great years from a learning standpoint. From a time where it was a difficult situation to play for two national championships and lose, but to get close. One of those teams is one of the best teams I have ever been a part of. Then to go through really what was a rebuilding situation, losing a bunch of draft picks, how you handle that, how you handle adversity. I think we lost the first game in a long time at home against TCU and we bounced that team, that program back to get to the Holiday Bowl and winning and getting the program back on track. You learn a lot during that time. Probably the biggest thing is the daily expectations of players, how you treat players and the expectation level you have for everybody and creating a family atmosphere. I think it is important for wives and kids, but because it is not like that everywhere. They are a part of what you are doing. I think people take that for granted because it affects your wife, your girlfriend and your kids just as much as it affects you. The more you acknowledge and keep them involved I think it keeps the energy level up. Bob (Stoops) does a great job of that and always has. From that standpoint, as I said before, people look at this team (Oklahoma). I can't tell you how many people have thrown out that this isn't one of his better teams. What are you talking about? I'm not sure how many 10-win teams he has had. The level of expectations that has been created in the 14 years that he has been there is extremely high. When I get a question like that or an attitude like that, it tells you what kind of program he has created."
On keeping team together after losses to Florida and LSU and not resorting back to attitude of 2011 team: "There was a long time between those two losses. People act like those losses happened back to back. When we lost the first game, the first thing I did was No. 1 – we never talked about last year, I wasn't here. Whatever happened a year ago – win, lose or attitude – whatever that was, I wasn't here. We weren't playing the same league. We are a different team with different uniforms and different coaches. We eliminated 2011 from what we were talking about. I had a bunch of people ask me about that and we didn't talk about that.
"The Florida game was not a situation like that. I think people tried to compare it to the year before because we were ahead at halftime and didn't score in the second half. You look back at that game and we didn't have enough offense in against a team that was a top 10 football team that was really good. We had a freshman quarterback in his first game, effort was not an issue we just weren't able to play. It was several weeks before LSU. Those two games (Florida and LSU) were irrelevant (to each other). That is the first game and the halfway point. They didn't have anything to do with each other. I think in year one if people are going to be critical or ask questions about trying to compare our two losses to the year before, I'll take that about all the time."
On whether this offense is the most wide-open and fun offense he has been a part of: "A lot of that I would like to take credit for as a play designer, but we have a quarterback that has the ability to – as Coach Kingsbury or Kliff used to say – would go rogue on us. We can't take credit for everything. He is a very, very dynamic and special player. I think as the season went on we understood him a little bit better. He understood what we were trying to do a little bit better with moving around and getting him moving. We did design more quarterback run game in the plan, but that is all part of a lot of different things that he has taken advantage of. I haven't had anybody and I've been around a bunch of really good quarterbacks, with his skill set. It is just a different animal. For him to have the freedom to do what he has done in one year, I think says a lot about his improvement and his skill set, but also our ability to adapt to his skill set and try to feature some things that can help us win. I would like to take credit for all that, but he is a different guy. The ability for him to make plays with his legs puts a whole another spin on our offense."
On how you have handled visiting with Johnny Manziel in managing all the attention that comes with winning the Heisman Trophy: "Sure I have talked to him about it. Winning the Heisman (Trophy) should not be a punishment. It is a unique situation that we have in that we have freshman that has won the highest award given in college football. It has never happened before. It is completely different situation than anybody has ever had. Usually you are looking at a player's last game, the bowl game he is playing in, or he may play one more year, that's it. This is a redshirt freshman. The advice that you are giving is day to day advice. It is not career advice. From that standpoint, I think people are watching to see what is going to happen, number one. You have a guy that just turned 20 (years old) in Orlando (College Football Awards show) or in New York and he is a 20-year old kid. You have to be careful about heaping on too much of what the expectations are for a young man. As I said we have to be very, very cognizant of what is going on. I think he understands that. But at the same time, a lot of things that have made him who he is right now, all of sudden you can't shut that off."
On season of wide receiver Mike Evans and whether he had expectations for that type of season from Mike back in August: "He is extremely raw. He has tremendous upside. This is a guy that didn't play very much football period in high school. He was a basketball player. I remember watching him at camp and he didn't even know what a corner route was, trying to catch the ball over the wrong shoulder. He is really raw. He has a tremendous amount of upside, he continued to get better. He understood what we were trying to do. It wasn't until midway through fall camp, I really thought – hey we've got something here. He is big. He is a little bit stronger than you think he is, a little bit faster than you think he is. Toughness has never been an issue with Mike. He was hurt basically the whole year. He played as well as anybody in our league. I would say probably the last five weeks, he only practiced on Thursday because of injury situations just to get ready. For a freshman to do that and perform the way he performed in games particularly at that position shows a lot about where he was in the mental state during the week, during practice and during the games. I look for him to continue to get better. He is definitely another piece we can build around."
On the trend of teams playing with interim coaches in bowl games and whether something can be done about that: "I have seen both scenarios. I have been through both scenarios. I got the Houston job and I stayed through the bowl game. Last year, I got this job. I think people think a lot of times coaches leave on their own or take off and just abandon the kids. When I left (University of) Houston to come to Texas A&M that was dual decision with the athletic director and myself. When I met with the team, I wanted to tell them I had accepted the job at Texas A&M, the mutual decision was that it was time to move on with an interim coach. It's hard to be the coach at one institution and look at your team and coach that team where you are right now.
"I think people look at it different ways. The problem is that timing right now for other institutions is critical. The onus is put on coaches that they can't move or change jobs, but the jobs are offered to you in December. But also you have a coach fired midway through the season, not for any conduct. There is nothing said about that for the kids. You go in and face the kids for the last five weeks of the season as a fired coach, there are some issues are there because the race to hire the next coach is on. There are a lot of things to blame on the system right now. It puts administrators in a position where they want to be competitive where they want to hire the best coach for their particular situation. It puts coaches in a situation where you get offered a job. I think people would be surprised when those offers are made and they are looked at as leaving, whatever happens, when that happens. Nobody really knows about the coach in that situation. Everybody thinks they know but they really don't know. I think I've heard that before from a coach.
"I don't know what can be done. I think the NFL has gotten it right with the timing. But the component the NFL does not have is recruiting. Basically if you have a moratorium until after the bowl games and then the (coaching) convention coming up, then there is a dead period. You have coaches coming to work at a different university in mid-January, you have two weeks of recruiting and then that class is done. You are done for the year. So there are a lot more moving parts in college football than in pro football. A lot of things would have to change if you change the way things are done right now."
On staying focused in long layoff between the last game: "That is the craziest thing. Since the last game, you have had a month to the bowl game. You have to keep preparing. You have a good team like OU. You have to prepare a month for them. They have a good squad there and plenty of athletes. I've been watching film for like a month so I'm ready to go."
On making the college football awards circuit: "It has been a lot of fun, going to Orlando and doing that kind of stuff. It's been such a blessing being a part of all that. Winning it (the Outland Trophy) was just such a blessing. Coming from an offensive line family, you have known about the award your entire life. It has been kind of my main goal in college to become and All-American and winning that award is what I wanted to come to (Texas) A&M for. It is such a blessing and such an honor winning that. It has been a great season."
On notoriety that has been brought to Texas A&M this season: "I can't believe the season. It has been a fun season. When I was being recruiting to A&M by Sherman and Turner a couple of years ago, they told me you want to come to A&M and bring the spotlight back to A&M. It has been such a blessing doing that. You come to A&M, bringing the spotlight back to A&M and just being a big deal in Texas again. That is why I came to A&M. I'm glad to be here and I'm glad to be able to do what I wanted to do when I came here."
On as a defensive lineman what makes your teammate Johnny Manziel special to defend: "A lot of things. He has tremendous talent. Some people you can train to be good, but some people are just born with it. That is one of the things, he trains to be good and he was born with it and that makes him a great player. Just all his attributes he can throw, he can run, everything. He is a multi-talented threat.
"It is like that old saying, you come in there with a game plan and to the fight thinking you are going to do this. But once you get hit in the nose all that goes out the window. I think that applies to Johnny (Manziel) a lot. You go in saying you are going to do this and you have the perfect scheme, but he always seems to do something amazing to change your whole thought process."
On how the Alabama win changed perception of team that struggled in past to close out big games: "We try not to look at the past, but you can't help but to look at the past when people bring it up. That win was the stepping stone that helped in turning this program around and to show we were as talented as we knew we were the whole time. It has done great things for us, but we try not to just stay on that. Because once you stay on that you get complacent. We soaked it in a little bit and moved on to the task at hand the following week."
On staying focused with all the accolades and activities of the last month: "I have been enjoying it. I have been enjoying all the stuff that has come with it. I am a big sports fan. All of you know about going to the basketball game and the football game. It is just something that I enjoy. People just didn't know I went before but I still went but people didn't care to write about it. I've just been enjoying it. We were so busy in New York, the five or six days from Orlando to New York, everyone who traveled with me were just dead. We were going to bed at 2 a.m. and waking up at 7 a.m. It was fun for us to get back and say hey let's go to a basketball game, let's do some stuff and do some things in the afternoon. We made time to do it. We are still focused. We are still going to practice, still going to workouts, still watching film, still doing the same stuff as always just enjoying a little bit along the way."
On Oklahoma defense: "They are very athletic. You look all around (the defense), they sit there and say we are more athletic than you and we can beat you one on one and do some things that can distract you. They don't do too much that will trick you, but they say this is what we do, this is who we are and this is what we are going to do and they stick with that."
On whether goodwill that has been built up for A&M this year will be taken away without a win in the Cotton Bowl..i.e. "a great season but..": "There could always be abut at the end of that regardless. We aren't too focused about what people say. We have had a great year. A bowl game is a time where you come have fun. You come enjoy all the things they put out. You come have dinner and get to be in Cowboys Stadium. You get to have fun. That is what people don't get. I try to explain it more and more that football is a game of fun. We are so blessed to be able to play this game and come out here and play. It's a game and that is all it is. If you enjoy playing it, you might as well make the most of it. It is nothing but fun. It is fun to run around and throw the ball around with some of your best friends."
On what would mean to end special year with win in Cotton Bowl: "It would mean a lot. We have been talking about finishing strong all year long. It has been our theme, start fast and finish strong. It would mean a lot to finish the season good and come out with 11 wins and be one of the few teams in Texas A&M history to win 11 games in a season."
On playing 12 games without a break and finally getting a chance to get healthy before bowl game: "That was tough playing without a break. We were really beat up after the season. We finally got our bye week a few weeks ago and so we are back to 100 percent so that will be great."
On playing in familiar place – Cowboys Stadium: "It is always exciting when we play in Cowboys Stadium. It is a beautiful stadium. It is a nice place to play. It is a great venue. We are excited to play here."
On maturation of defense this year: "I think we played some good defense this year. We stepped up into the SEC and showed that we could compete in that league where all the hoopla is about defense. I think we did a great job on defense this year. And our explosive offense didn't hurt anything either. I think the defense really matured a lot since the beginning of the season. We all kind of grew up together and grew with our coaches and everything just meshed well."

One Run: Griffin Siebert
Griffin Siebert takes a One Run down his favorite Park City lap.
The idea of a ONE RUN is to capture the everyday riding of people, what and where they normally ride, how they like to ride, and a way for people to showcase their own creativity and riding style. It is also always fun to watch how people snowboard when they snowboard just to snowboard.
Nitro is creating an on-line contest called ONE RUN in collaboration with their up coming film; Hyped! The idea is to get people (you) to go out and capture your favorite type of snowboarding, through your favorite part of the park, top to bottom run, or anything else. Be it a run through rails in the streets, park jumps, powder-runs, bombing hills, pipe runs or whatever. The important thing is that this type of riding is what makes you want to snowboard. We have gotten all of our guys to go out and film a ONE RUN of their favorite type of boarding. These videos will be released once every week.
We encourage kids to go out and film their own ONE RUN, and submit it for a chance to get there run in our upcoming movie Hyped! along with other prizes. The idea is to show how diverse everyone´s riding is. No one snowboards the same and that is what makes snowboarding so special!
Our team of riders (Eero Ettala, Jon Kooley, Austin Smith, Bryan Fox, Justin Bennee, Markus Keller, Gjermund Braaten, etc) will pick out the top three runs they think are the most inspiring, creative and showcase the persons true passion for snowboarding.
1st place will have a quest appearance in the Nitro Hyped! video + Nitro Limited edition HYPED! Snowboard + Hyped! gear
2nd place will win a free Nitro snowboard + Hyped! gear
3rd place will win a free pair of Raiden bindings + Hyped! gear
The Audience Award: The ONE RUN video on our Facebook page (facebook.com/nitrosnbrds) with the most comments and likes will win a Nitro Snowboard signed by our Team Riders.
For more information about the ONE RUN contest go to
We will release more ONE RUN contest information next week, but for now, just go out and film your own ONE RUN. Make sure it is in a high quality format. And remember to have a good time while doing it. That is what it is all about!
Nitro One Run Competition Directions:
1. Get someone to film you or film yourself doing a One Run
High Quality videos are best
2. Upload the video to your computer and editing program (iMovie,etc…)
a. Shorten the video from when you want it to start and end
3. Export and save the video to your computer
4. Upload the video to Youtube.com or Vimeo.com (titled: Nitro Snowboards — ONE RUN Contest — Your Name)
5. Post the video to Nitro snowboards Facebook page. (facebook.com/nitrosnbrds)
6. Get your friends to comment on your video on the Nitro Facebook Page (for the most comments award), and spread the link to show your friends how much fun you have while snowboarding.

Derek Lovitch's recent post on his blog, Maine Birding Field Notes, covered his adventures in the Midwest as he made some appearances, visited some friends, and went on some pretty exciting birding adventures. We just put the start of the blog below, but you can read the whole thing on Lovitch's blog, or check it out on his Facebook page.
A Mid-Western Road Trip
When the Iowa Ornithologists' Union invited me out to be the Keynote Speaker for their 2013 Fall Meeting, I jumped at the opportunity to get some birding in in a part of the country that I have not spent very much time exploring. Add to that a program and book signing at Milwaukee's Urban Ecology Center, and I had a solid excuse to work on some under-served state lists…and visit some good friends. Each day, I posted a short synopsis of my travels and birding on my book's Facebook page.

Information for Patients
Twins, Triplets, Multiple Births
If you are pregnant with more than one baby, you are far from alone. Multiple births are up in the United States. More women are having babies after age 30 and more are taking fertility drugs. Both boost the chance of carrying more than one baby. A family history of twins also makes multiples more likely.
Years ago, most twins came as a surprise. Now, most women know about a multiple pregnancy early. Women with multiple pregnancies should see their health care providers more often than women who are expecting one baby. Multiple pregnancy babies have a much higher risk of being born prematurely and having a low birth weight. There is also more of a risk of disabilities. Some women have to go on bed rest to delay labor. Finally, they may deliver by C-section, especially if there are three babies or more.
Parenting multiples can be a challenge. Volunteer help and support groups for parents of multiples can help.

CEOs wield clout for budget deal
NEW YORK — After the election, the titans of finance are showing up to play in Washington — ready to fight for a grand bargain even if it means raising taxes.
For Wall Street, the aim is simple: Get a big budget deal that provides stability for investors by eliminating the threats of government shutdowns, credit-rating downgrades, debt ceiling disasters and wide fluctuations in spending and tax policy.
Story Continued Below
But to get there, some on Wall Street — who ordinarily would share the conservative aversion to higher taxes — believe the circumstances are so dire they are ready to pressure Republicans to abandon orthodoxy for a more important goal: to prove that Washington won't hold the economy hostage to its own partisan dysfunction.
"Imagine what kind of stimulus it would be if politicians just reached some kind of long-term budget agreement to eliminate all this uncertainty?" Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein told POLITICO in an interview. "It's not that it's easy to do. It will require some political sacrifice on both sides. But the solutions are so clearly within our means."
Added Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JP Morgan Chase: "Either a President Obama or Romney will have to deal with this and reach some kind of agreement that will take this threat off the back of the economy both now and in the longer term."
It's unusual for some of the most well-known CEOs to come out so publicly on a political issue, a sign that Wall Street believes the business of Washington has bled into the business of America — dragging down the economy to the point where they need to weigh in personally.
Dimon, Blankfein and others have signed onto a multimillion dollar ad campaign to build public support for a deal. And CEOs are also lobbying senior lawmakers and their aides to find a solution.
But even these efforts might not be enough. CEOs pushed for a big deal during the debt ceiling debate, but were disappointed when Congress punted. The two parties are still deeply entrenched — and will be regardless of who takes the White House in November. Plus, bankers don't carry the same clout as they once did, since their more recent trips to Washington were to testify on major failures that have left them wildly unpopular amid the economic downturn.
Even the executives believe the best they can do is offer Republicans cover from backlash from tea party supporters and anti-tax advocates if they sign on to anything that includes increased revenue.
"There is certainly a tea party caucus that still has a strong aversion to anything involving taxes, but what CEOs are saying is they are ready to get behind a comprehensive solution in which everything is in play," said John Engler, the former Republican governor of Michigan and head of the Business Roundtable, which represents CEOs of U.S. companies with $7.3 trillion in annual revenues."It has to be a real solution, not a faux fix with promises to do things later. If it's real, then executives will get behind it."
