As many of you may already know Japanese knives do not come out of the box (new) in a sharp condition and are not always ready to go to work.
They do often come somewhat sharp and may impress you with their thin cross section however they all can be improved upon when new.
It's a well known fact that the true potential of a new Japanese knife will only be realized after 1-2 sharpening sessions have occurred.
It's also well known that this initial out of the box sharpening is the most difficult to accomplish (beyond edge repairs) simply because the bevels are often very obtuse, wavy, or in some cases not even ground in yet at all. This is true for both double bevel and single bevel knives alike.
We, at JapaneseKnifeSharpening.com, have been providing initial sharpening service for Japanese knives for many years at no additional cost beyond our standard sharpening fees. With only a very limited exception (example - Aritsugu/Moritaka), we still offer this same service at no additional cost to our normal sharpening service. This means to you that you can purchase a new Japanese knife, have it shipped directly to us, and we will then bring out the full potential (and repair any small defects with the maker's bevel grinds) at no additional costs. You will then receive your knife knowing that it is now ready to use at the highest level that can be obtained while also having the peace of mind to understand that the knife is ready for you to either strop or touch-up sharpen when the times comes to do so. You won't have to worry about purchasing a complete set of sharpening stones and going through the learning curve right at the start of your Japanese knife ownership experience. When the knife begins to not feel sharp you can then choose to just strop or maybe touch-up sharpen on a polishing stone and have this work effectively for a very long time. In many cases a home user could go years with this type of maintenance regimen in place and be very satisfied.
If you have questions as to whether or not your new Japanese knife could benefit from initial sharpening you can always ask us about this as we'd be more than happy to answer your questions or concerns. I will say that all knives will benefit from initial sharpening although I will never say that all knives need it. The benefit of having initial sharpening done to your knife can be great but not always necessary. Again, if you have questions about this issue please feel free to ask, we welcome your inquiries.
For pricing and mailing instructions for our sharpening service please see http://www.japaneseknifesharpening....

Director of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III To Deliver 2012 Buhl Lecture
PITTSBURGH—Daniel Eisenstein, director of the third phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, will present Carnegie Mellon University's annual Buhl Lecture at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 24 in the Mellon Institute Auditorium, 4400 Fifth Ave., Oakland. His lecture "Dark Energy and Cosmic Sound" is free and open to the public.
The acceleration of the expansion rate of the universe is one of the most vexing questions in modern physics. In his lecture, Eisenstein, an astronomy professor at Harvard University, will discuss how artifacts from the sound waves created during the first million years of the universe's existence can provide a critical observational test of the phenomenon.
After the Big Bang, the universe was a dense cloud of cosmic plasma. As the universe matured and cooled, matter began to clump together creating areas of high and low density, which would later become clusters of galaxies separated by giant voids. To this day, this structure bears the imprint of sound waves that traveled the early universe called baryon acoustic oscillations. Scientists can measure relics from the sound waves to precisely measure the location and distance of galaxies in the universe. From this information, they can measure dark energy.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is using data from the study of baryon acoustic oscillations, as well as other methods, to make the largest three-dimensional color map of the universe to date. Carnegie Mellon joined the survey last year, and a number of researchers from The McWilliams Center for Cosmology are contributing to the project.
Eisenstein received his Ph.D. from Harvard and then held postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Chicago. He was a member of the faculty at the University of Arizona before moving to Harvard in 2010.
The Buhl Lecture is sponsored by Carnegie Mellon's Department of Physics. The lecture is funded under the auspices of the Buhl Professorship in Theoretical Physics, which was established at Carnegie Mellon in 1961 by The Buhl Foundation.

Sunday Sweets: Fun Wedding Cakes
Let's face it, weddings can be a little, well, predictable. That why we love it when a couple breaks out of the mold and, say, boogies down the aisle. Same thing with the cake: sure, white-on-white is pretty, but it's also kind of boring. How about a little personality? A little fun? A little pair of adorable bride-and-groom ghost toppers?
(Found by JT and made by Sugar)
Now, you're probably wondering if it's possible to have a themed cake that's also elegant. I think so. I mean, check this one out:

Robert Britt, will speak about what bullying is, how the actions of bullying affect people, as well as teaching that choices kids make matter,� Wilson said in a release. �The Teen Nation Tour wants kids to know the decisions and the choices they make, can end bullying online and in person. We believe bullying can be stopped by teaching students that choosing not to bully each other and instead teach others kindness, compassion and respect. Together we can end bullying and make the world a better place.�
Wilson said his tour had been endorsed by Lee Hirsch and the movie, �Bully,� as well as The Great American No Bull Challenge, The No Bull Guys, Sara�s Smile, Project Believe In Me, Hold on Another Day, The Bully Project and the One Million Kids Initiative.

Senate GOP debates sequester plan
Big Republican names in the Senate warned Monday against giving away congressional power in order to escape responsibility for the adverse impact of automatic spending cuts expected to go into effect Friday.
Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and John McCain of Arizona both expressed strong concerns in anticipation of a party discussion Tuesday on draft legislation to give President Barack Obama greater flexibility to deal with the crisis. By doing so, the leadership hopes to shift the onus onto Obama to administer the cuts, but letting go of power to give the president that discretion is hard to do.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: What they're saying about sequestration)
"I spent long hours writing the defense [authorization] bill," McCain told POLITICO, "I'm not about to give up my constitutional obligations to the President of the United States."
"I think the appropriations process belongs in the legislative branch," Rubio said in a separate interview. "And to give the administration carte blanche to decide what they're going to fund and not fund, as you're already seeing in some of the statements they're putting out, they're trying to in some ways to maximize the destruction that this creates for political purposes."
Rubio, a prospective 2016 presidential candidate, said he learned from experiencing a similar maneuver in Florida state government, that the executive branch would cut popular programs in order to cause a public uproar to achieve its political objectives.
Veteran Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee echoed some of the same concerns.
"I would like a provision that says the president's plan has to come back to the Appropriations Committee sort of like a reprogramming request," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). "I would like to see broad authority to the president but with the check that the Appropriations Committee will at least review it, if not give an OK."
"I'm not comfortable with giving the president carte blanche," said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). He, like Collins, said he would prefer to maintain some congressional review of whatever funding changes the administration makes to deal with the crisis.
Tuesday's party luncheon will be a first opportunity for the GOP to hash these differences out.

Mancala may well be the oldest board game in the world. It is a wholly mathematical game - its more complex versions have as much scope as Chess, despite its primitive origins.
Playing Mancala will improve your counting skills, visual memory, and logical thinking.
Play this classic version of Mancala on your Android device. This game is also known as Kalah.
Game features:
- AI player with four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert
- AI player game types: Clever, Greedy, and Fast Winner.
- Two player mode
- Play from 2 to 6 stones per bin games
- Portrait and Landscape screen support
- Sound ON and OFF modes
- Show and Hide counts
- Undo previous moves
- Full version
- NO advertisement
Game Rules:
The object of the game is to capture as many stones and place them in your mancala as you can. The player with the most stones at the end of the game wins.
To play, a player picks one of their holes with stones in it and distributes these stones counterclockwise. Distribution of stones wraps around the board, placing a stone in the player's mancala along the way, but not placing one in the opponent's mancala (if the stones get that far).
If the last stone placed in a hole lands in your mancala, you get another turn. Otherwise it is your opponent's turn.
Also, if the last stone placed lands in one of your holes that is empty, and the hole opposite contains stones, you steal your opponent's stones. Your last stone and your opponent's stones are placed in your mancala, and it is then your opponent's turn.
The game is over when one player is out of stones.
Have fun!

Right cheers Woodward 'fact check'
Conservatives in the media have found themselves armed with political ammunition in their battle with President Barack Obama over the impending sequester from a surprising source — Bob Woodward.
The journalism icon's fact check on the sequester in The Washington Post over the weekend and the subsequent blowback has caused a major stir, with pundits and reporters pouncing on the item. In his piece, Woodward laid the blame on the White House for the sequester, pinpointing the administration as responsible for coming up with the plan for automatic spending cuts and calling out Obama for claiming it was created by Congress.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Is Obama telling the truth about sequestration?)
Among the media commentariat on the right, the journalist who has long been characterized as left-of-center and a liberal hero is now being widely cited for his op-ed naming the sequester as the White House's brain child. With his reporting, Woodward has given Republicans and conservatives major talking points to cast the looming cuts as Obama's responsibility alone — and those in conservative quarters are crediting him for challenging the White House.
"Apparently Woodward doesn't view his job as being a total lapdog for Obama," Sean Hannity said on his radio show Monday.
Hannity told his listeners that Woodward is "doing the job, frankly, that few journalists are willing to do, and that's actually tell the truth and dig down a little deeper."
( Also on POLITICO: Boehner's big bet: Obama will cave)
And Buck Sexton of Glenn Beck's The Blaze praised Woodward for bringing the issue to light, calling the White House response a case of the administration "trying to spin the story after the fact."
"Woodward's piece made perfect sense to me," he told POLITICO. "I think it's pretty clear to everyone who is watching this whole sequestration play out that the Obama administration has overreached and they really thought Republicans would not go for the cuts."
"[The Obama administration] wasn't so vehement about what Woodward said until it became clear that the GOP was going to go through with it," Sexton added. "If this were so odious and wrong from the onset, you would think there would be a lot of noise from the start that this was from the Congress."
While "a lot of journalists' brands are really intertwined with being pro-administration or anti-administration," Sexton said Woodward doesn't fit that profile.
"If you can be somewhere down the middle like Woodward — and I think that's part of his brand — you really stand out," he said.
Tim Graham of the Media Research Center, Brent Bozell's conservative watchdog group, said the focus on Woodward's piece comes down to his "mythical status of being the best journalist ever." While Graham credited Woodward for raising the point about the origin of the sequester in a high-profile way, "I wouldn't want to run around too much making him my hero," Graham told POLITICO.
"Democratic presidents sit down with Woodward and think they're going to get a much better deal than Woodward gave Bush," he said. "But the fact of the matter is Woodward has been granted this mythical status of being the best journalist ever, so when he decides to take you on you're in the middle of a major battle."
The surprise for many in this case, Graham said, was that Woodward was willing to challenge the White House and the president by presenting "a very plain narrative where the Obama people introduced this idea."
"We have a whole press corps that doesn't take Obama on, and I would argue we're in a period where the press has no respect," Graham, the MRC's director of media analysis, said. "Woodward's sort of the exception, but I'm uncomfortable with the idea that we turn reporters into budget negotiators or blame assessors."
"As usual, we're kind of having a fight over which facts matter," Graham added.

Amnesia's tin-shed aesthetic and smoky grills full of sausages are a perfectly acceptable substitute for a family reunion at a city park, and even come with eccentric drunken uncles, the smell of grilled sausages and noise complaints from neighboring picnic tables. 832 N Beech St., 281-7708.
Best zombie command post patio: On Deck Sports Bar and Grill
On Deck's rooftop vantage point, proximity to supply depot REI and ample supply of meatheads to use as decoys make the shiny sports bar a walking-dead-proof fortress. 910 NW 14th Ave., 227-7020 ondecksportsbar.com.

Best Peeping Tom patio: Casa Diablo
The city's best spot to suck on a butt without missing any of the jiggling asses, the porch at vampire-themed vegan titty oasis Casa Diablo includes a massive window allowing you to peer in on the dancers like a seedy neighborhood voyeur. 2839 NW St. Helens Road, 222-6600.
Best patio for passing off alcohol sickness as something legitimate: Portland Spirit
Sure, it's technically the deck of a boat, but overindulgence on the Portland Spirit can easily be masked as sea sickness. Waterfront Park between Southwest Front Avenue and Salmon Street, 224-3900, portlandspirit.com.
Best porch swing patio: EastBurn
East Burn's covered patio, porch swings and tabletop fireplaces make its outdoor area seem less like a bar than a coastal paradise. 1800 E Burnside St., 236-2876, theeastburn.com.
Best people-watching porch: Binks
The tiny sidewalk seating area and covered porch at Binks is a welcome reprieve from the packed hullabaloo of Last Thursday. Arrive early in order to snag one of the coveted seats and watch the mayhem unfold with a cold one. 2715 NE Alberta St., 493-4430.

If you like making pizza at home and want a quick method that doesn't include fussing with pizza dough, this is a great recipe to try.
I first met Chitra from The ABCD's of Cooking in the winter of last year at a food blogger potluck. Since then, we've become good friends, and I've become a big fan of her blog, which specializes in Indian vegetarian cooking. What I love is that in addition to writing about traditional North and South Indian food, she's also plenty creative when it comes to fixing up new dishes with Indian spices and other ingredients.
Like this breakfast pizza using naan as a base. I had it bookmarked for months before finally trying it yesterday. And of course, like many recipes, it was one that I should have made much sooner.
The pizza was just so splendidly easy. I made a few tiny changes to Chitra's original recipe, such as just tossing the onions in olive oil before roasting instead of searing them. I also used rosemary and basil for the herbs instead of cilantro, and a combination of mozzarella and cheddar instead of parmesan and cheddar (you can also try Gruyère). But that's about it. The recipe is so versatile that it opens itself to a lot of variations with cheeses, herbs, and other toppings.
It's quite a filling breakfast or brunch, but you can also make it for an easy lunch or dinner.
And once summer hits, you can be sure I'm making this pizza again and again, with lots of fresh juicy tomatoes tossed on top.
Naan Breakfast Pizza
Makes 2 individual pizzas
- 2 naan or flatbread
- 1 small onion, cut into thin slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into thin slices
- 1/4 cup freshly grated cheddar or Parmesan
- A few sprigs fresh rosemary
- Small handful basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly heat up the naan, about 30 to 60 seconds on each side.
- Toss the onions in the olive oil.
- Place the naan on a baking sheet. (I like to line the sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, in case the egg bubbles over.) Spoon the sauce over the naan and add a bit more to cover if you choose. Add the cheeses on top. Gently crack an egg on top of each naan. Sprinkle over with rosemary.
- Carefully put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes***, rotating the baking sheet 180 degrees halfway through. Bake until the cheese has melted and the egg is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the chopped basil on top. Let it cool for just a few minutes before serving.
***I like to leave the yolks runny, but if you're concerned about food-borne illnesses, cook the eggs for a few minutes longer until well-done.

Taylor Swift and B.o.B. Battle Pesky Creatures to Shoot New 'Both of Us' Video
Taylor Swift is no stranger to collaborating with artists of all genres. In addition to working with Justin Bieber, the Civil Wars, and others, Swift recently laid down vocal tracks for rapper B.o.B.'s newest single, 'Both of Us.' Last week, B.o.B. made the trek to Swift's home state of Tennessee to film a music video for the song. While he claims to have enjoyed his time down south, both the rapper and his country counterpart encountered some obstacles during the shoot.
While the video is still in production, the pair took us behind the scenes in a new video, courtesy of Access Hollywood. "See all these utility vehicles and all these chords and cables and lights and action going on? That's what happens when you get B.o.B. and Taylor Swift together," B.o.B. tells the camera while shooting. "That's how we do it."
The 'Both of Us' video will show viewers several snapshots of life just outside of Nashville -- everything from kids playing, to barns, to dogs laying on porches, to Swift hanging out in a field of wildflowers. But there's one thing about Tennessee life that B.o.B. especially wasn't prepared for: the plethora of insects.
"There's bugs on people, there are bugs crawling on people, there are bugs trying to bite people," Swift explained. But the Pennsylvania girl-turned-southerner isn't afraid of a few creepy crawlies.
At one point, she noticed a gigantic spider on the rapper's shoulder, and she was quick to save him from the eight-legged creature. "I looked over on B.o.B.'s shoulder and there is this giant spider!" she recanted. "It looked like a bird! It was that big. It was just hanging out there, ready to kill him."
Swift added, "I saved his life by pointing it out." Obviously, B.o.B. owes her one.

ADDED: Here's a New Republic article from a couple months ago that's very positive about Al Gore running in '08:
...Gore is the only anti-Hillary candidate who can credibly attack her on both fronts. His early, vocal, and unwavering opposition to the war in Iraq has made him a hero to many Democrats. The Hollywood liberals over at Huffington Post as well as the university-town activists at Daily Kos and Moveon.org love Gore. If he ran, he would instantly become the favored candidate of the "netroots," the antiwar, anti-Bush crowd that championed Howard Dean and that will be a significant source of money and buzz in the run-up to 2008. The activists in the liberal blogosphere, more than any other opinion-making constituency in Democratic politics, revere Gore. They still wave the bloody flag of the 2000 recount. They still pump out bitter posts about how the mainstream media trashed Gore in 2000 yet gave Bush a free pass. They remember that Gore endorsed Dean in 2004 and they burst with pride at the fact that he chose Moveon.org as the forum for his most important speeches.
Of course, any antiwar candidate could criticize Hillary's vote for the war in Iraq. But the logic of the Gore candidacy is that, unlike other Democrats, he could attack Hillary as both out of step on the war and unelectable come November. If he runs for president he would be the only candidate in either party who instantly passes the post-9/11 threshold on national security issues. Hillary's credible case that as first lady she engaged in diplomacy and was treated abroad like a world leader would be dwarfed by Gore's eight-year record as vice president sitting on the National Security Council.
And Gore might be the only Democrat who can solve a vexing issue facing the party: How does a candidate establish a reputation for toughness on national security while simultaneously criticizing the war? Gore supported the Gulf War and, in most Clinton administration battles over the use of force, he took the more hawkish position. He is the party's only credible antiwar hawk.

Observing Student Connections
|Introduction | Hexominos | Sorting Hexominos | Student Work | Problem Reflection #1 | Hexominos Into Cubes | Problem Reflection #2 | Classroom Practice | Observe a Classroom | Your Journal
As you read about how several students approached the problem, think about what connections the students made.
A. Marissa
I used tiles and graph paper. I remembered when we made hexominos and tried to make all the ones with four in a row again. Some that I made looked like new 4-lines, but they really weren't new.
For example, these are actually all the same upper-case T hexomino:
I know they are congruent because you can flip H1 to match H2. You can rotate H2 to match H3. You can flip H4 to match H3. It's like when we worked on finding congruent figures before. I found seven hexominos with a line of 4 squares. I crossed off the ones that were the same:
B. Malik
I made lots of 1-by-4 rectangles on my grid paper. Then I added on two more squares above or below in as many ways as I could think of. I thought about using tiles in my mind. I tried to remember some of the hexominos that we made before, and thought about how we had folded them to see if they made cubes. I cut out all my shapes and threw away extras if they matched exactly when I turned them over. Then I drew my shapes on new grid paper. I found nine ways:
C. Jimmy
(After the initial assignment and class discussion, the teacher asked Jimmy to continue his investigation on his own. The following week he surprised her with this report.)
This project took a long time! I started with a line of four square-tiles and two extras. First I put the two extras on the end to make an upper-case L:
Then I moved the two extras over a space. After that, I moved the extras over one more space. But then I saw that I could flip that one over to have the same hexomino that I had just made. That's when I saw that many of my hexominos with 4-lines would just need to be flipped or rotated to match the shapes that I already found:
It was harder to use the two extras as separate squares. I made a line of four green squares and used a red and blue extra square. First I put the red above and on the end and tried to make all the possible ways by just moving the blue one. I recorded some ways on grid paper:
It seemed like the Valentines problem that we did, where we had to stay organized or it would be very confusing. So, I found all the ways with the red square in one place, then all the ways with the red square starting in a new place. I started to record them on grid paper but saw that some of the new shapes matched old shapes because they could be flipped or rotated, so I had to cross a lot of them off. It got confusing, so I used letters to name the places where the red and blue squares could be attached:
I made a table to keep track of the new ones. The red and blue colors didn't really matter because AC and CA make the same hexomino, so I crossed off all the ones like CA, etc.:
Here's a list of my hexominos:
The others had to be crossed off because BD is like AC, BE is like AF, BH is like AG, CD is like AB, CE is like BH, DE is like AH, etc.
My friend showed me one more way:
So, I found 13 ways to make a 4-line hexomino.

Expo '09: O'Brien
O'Brien showed up to Surf Expo ready to show off an entire new line of graphics and redesigned bindings for 2010. After focusing on boards last year, it was time for the bindings to get some love. All of the boots are now on stronger and lighter chassis. They are also now easier than ever to get into. With major players like Daniel Watkins, Josh Sanders, Sean O'Brien, and Dallas Friday, look for O'Brien to turns some heads in 2010.

Roger Federer won the 2009 French Open
Awesome...Roger won his 14th grandslam title...craziness!..beating Robin Soderling in 3 sets Straight...I think he's the all-time best, if not-heading to that point or close...
Andre Agassi was next to him..the last person on the men's side to win all 4 major titles...
I actually like Nadal more than Federer...I like the style of play, maybe because he's lefty that I can somehow relate since I play with my left as well...but in consideration...federer is really the Best right now...

After the coffee. Before trying to get a story done well before deadline.
The Skinny: I joke a lot about my cats in this space, but right now sadly one is very ill. So keep a good thought for my beloved Skinny (yes, he is the inspiration for the name of this section of the Morning Fix). Today's headlines include the surprising hiring of Dee Dee Myers as the new spokeswoman of Warner Bros. Also, the Cannes Film Festival unveils its lineup and Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) is trying to get Netflix to go on the record with any concerns it may have about Comcast getting bigger.
Daily Dose: No need to worry that the Supreme Court battle between broadcasters and Aereo could end in a 4-4 tie. Justice Samuel Alito who previously recused himself from the case, has indicated that he will participate after all. No details for the switch were provided but whatever the conflict was, it apparently has been removed. Broadcasters privately cheered the move, believing that Alito is more likely to favor their argument that Aereo, which distributes local TV signals via the Internet, violates copyright law.
From the West Wing to the West Coast. Warner Bros. has tapped Dee Dee Myers, a former White House spokeswoman for President Bill Clinton as its new executive in charge of corporate communications. Myers, who succeeds Sue Fleishman, will also provide potential presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with yet another entry to Hollywood power players. Fleishman spent much of her tenure at Warner Bros. trying to manage media during an awkward battle between Jeff Robinov, Bruce Rosenblum and ultimate winner Kevin Tsujihara for the top spot at the studio. The track record of D.C. communication strategists transitioning to Hollywood is mixed at best. Analysis of the hire from the Los Angeles Times, Variety and Deadline Hollywood.
FACES TO WATCH 2014: Digital media
Paris in spring. The Cannes Film Festival unveiled the lineup for this May's festival this morning. Two American movies -- "Foxcatcher" and "The Homesman" -- made the cut to compete. Both star Tommy Lee Jones. The Los Angeles Times, Variety and the Hollywood Reporter on the lineup. Overall, 49 films were selected and more than a dozen were directed by women.
Making their case. Next week, the Supreme Court will hear arguments between broadcasters and Aereo, a startup that streams local TV signals over the Internet. Broadcasters claim Aereo is stealing their signal and violating copyright law. Aereo argues there is nothing illegal about its antenna service and cloud DVR. Ultimately it's about money. Broadcasters fear Aereo (which charges $8 to $12 a month for its service) could undercut the revenue they gets from pay-TV operators. Media and digital mogul Barry Diller is an investor in Aereo and penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal defending the service.
If you see something, say something. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), the most vocal critic of Comcast's proposed deal to acquire Time Warner Cable, wants Netflix to provide its thoughts on the deal. In a letter to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, Franken wrote, "as a popular provider of Internet content that competes directly with Comcast, Netflix is uniquely positioned to gauge the risks posed by this deal. I therefore write to invite you or your designee to share Netflix's views." Netflix and Comcast have clashed in the past over broadband. More from CNet.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
Maybe they can arm-wrestle for it. Earlier this week, the Center for Public Integrity won a Pulitzer for its coverage of sick Appalachian miners who couldn't get healthcare. But ABC News, which also reported on the story as part of a partnership with the center, isn't celebrating. Instead it wants to share in the glory. The center was less than amused by this and sparks flew. Details from the New York Times.

The challenges that face Clinton
Hillary Clinton now appears to be the odds-on choice to be elected president in 2016. Yet she faces very serious challenges in her quest to win the nation's highest office.
To be sure, she holds a substantial lead in polls against her most likely Democratic primary opponent, Vice President Joe Biden, and she leads against each and every potential Republican general election opponent. Republicans themselves acknowledge Clinton's strength, with Newt Gingrich saying that the GOP "is incapable of competing" in 2016 if she is the Democratic nominee and Rep. Peter King commenting that Clinton would "destroy" GOP hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz and other Republican "isolationists."
Story Continued Below
And with yet another private get-together between Clinton and the president this week — they had lunch on Monday in Obama's private dining room — it is surely reasonable to think that her potential run in 2016 may be a topic of conversation between the two.
( PHOTOS: Who's talking about Hillary 2016?)
Still, the challenges Clinton faces are formidable, and unless she articulates a clear and compelling rationale for her own possible candidacy well before the general election campaign begins, her candidacy could be upended before it begins.
For starters, Clinton has to contend now, and most likely in the future, with President Barack Obama's declining poll ratings, which could well be an obstacle in her path. And while the president remains very popular with Democrats, his ratings in the past few months with the overall electorate have dropped below 50 percent in recent approval-rating polls. His specific ratings on the economy and foreign policy have fallen closer to 40 percent and show no signs of improving.
Meanwhile, his signature achievement — Obamacare — is at its low point in the polls, with close to 60 percent of Americans wanting it either significantly rolled back or repealed entirely.
Worse yet for Clinton, with the ongoing scandals over Benghazi, the Internal Revenue Service, The Associated Press and the National Security Agency, she probably will not be able to run on the Obama record — if anything, she will have to distance herself from it. And even though her time as secretary of state is largely viewed as a success, it's an amorphous one: She has no lasting accomplishment in the diplomatic realm to fall back on.
Clinton, therefore, needs to take immediate action to address these challenges and must do so before the 2016 campaign season gets into full swing. Without challenging the president directly, she must make it clear that she will take the country in a fundamentally different direction from the current administration.
First and foremost, Clinton needs to develop an overarching agenda rooted in the key problems facing America — the problems for which neither party has offered any clear solutions in either the last election cycle or the first year of Obama's second term.
Obama is making a late summer push on the economy. But his remarks this far are largely a restatement of his previously articulated policy prescriptions. The problem for the president is that American people have largely judged his approach a failure — having given consistently negative marks to the stimulus and his health care policy.
It follows that Clinton needs to systematically address the economy and jobs in a way that resonates with an increasingly frustrated electorate. Neither party is addressing the central challenge America faces: a weakened economy that, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, 52 percent of Americans believe is in recession. With unemployment stuck at around 7.5 percent and underemployed and discouraged workers together at almost the same high level, Clinton needs a realistic and practical job-creation agenda that can unite Democrats and appeal to independents and some Republicans.
With signs that economic growth in America is stagnating, the central theme of the Clinton reemergence must be revitalizing the economy with a coherent set of pro-growth policies: reforming and streamlining an antiquated Tax Code; providing incentives for business to invest, particularly in areas of high unemployment; and ensuring the stability and continued vitality of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security with a fiscally prudent plan to balance the federal budget.
Clinton must also move beyond Obama's arguably moving personal statement about Trayvon Martin and offer clear and unambiguous policies to address the very serious challenges facing urban America, which the president has simply not done: persistently high unemployment in the black and Hispanic population, especially teenage unemployment; declining levels of home ownership; and the larger issue of the whole tangled pathology of single-parent households, which have come to predominate in minority communities.

Earlier this year, commissioner Chas Hardy called for a meeting of the board of commissioners to uncover who chairman Tom Crow is accusing of "hiding money" in the process to build a new EMS station in West Jackson. After almost four hours of questions and information presented by Crow on Monday night, there was no clear answer to Hardy's question.
At one point, Hardy directly asked Crow: "Who are you accusing of corruption?"
"I see no corruption here," Crow said. "Corruption is when someone puts money in the pocket. I see nothing that was dishonest. I don't see things that were open and transparent so that we all knew what is going on."
For the full story, see the March 20 issue of The Jackson Herald.

LionSteel is an Italian knife company and, if you haven't heard of them, it's about time you did. They're not a new company by any means but are gaining recognition throughout the knife industry for their extremely beautiful and high quality tools. LionSteel, like many companies, has a flagship model which they're best known for; the SR-1. It's a large, tactical/combat, frame-lock folder with a wicked 3.7″ blade and a handle made from one solid piece of machined aluminum or titanium. This makes this knife one of the stoutest on the market. LionSteel also manufactures some EDC/gentleman's folding knives and higher end money clips but they are best known for their recent collaborations with DPx Gear for the HEST Folder and with Spyderco for the LionSpy. Everything is done in-house in Maniago, Italy from design and conception to stamping and finishing to ensure the utmost quality control. See the new LionSteel products at www.knifecenter.com.

Just an interesting factoid with those connected to Oak Island.
from the book Rambling Winds by Isabel E. Deyarmond, no ISBN, no published date, seems to be self published and details some history of Stewiacke and area and some families involved with Oak Island.
page 27.
"About three years (1783) after Mr Kennedy's settlement in Middle Stewiacke, some of the settlers undertook an expedition up the (Stewiacke ) river for the purpose of exploring the unknown territory in that direction. ....This lead to an application for grant by a large number of Truro people.
(this is how and when Col Archibald came to the area)
A grant was made to John Harris (father of our Thomas Harris) and others, about 50 all told. Of these not more than twenty settled on their lots.
In the latter part of 1783, Mathew Johnson commenced a settlement on his lot and erected a house-the first house in Upper Stewiacke-on the upland on the Northern side of the River (later known as Tupper Hill) where he lived for a time. Later he moved to the interval on the south side. Here he built up a high mound , dug his cellar in the centre of the mound and built his house thereon , so as to be clear of high water in time of freshets. The mound may still be seen on what is known as the Oak Islands owned by the late WP Creelman."
What an interesting name to call this man made mound with a cellar and I wonder during what year it gained the name? I am attempting to find our more about this mound.

How ambiguous racism can be more harmful than the blatant variety
Jessica Salvatore and Nicole Shelton say their results reflect the fact that Black students have coping mechanisms at hand to deal with blatant prejudice, but are more distracted by an ambiguous scenario. "Uncertainty about others' prejudice leaves marginalised individuals unable to discern which coping strategies would be most appropriate to the situation," they said.
The researchers asked 250 Princeton undergrads to read fictitious job candidates' CVs, and the hiring decisions of the pretend company they had applied for. Shortly afterwards the students completed the famous Stroop test, which measures cognitive control by repeatedly asking participants to name the ink colour a word is written in, while ignoring the colour name spelt out by the letters.
The Black students' performance suffered more after they read about a White employer selecting an inferior White candidate over a better qualified Black candidate (ambiguous racism), compared with when they read about a White employer saying they had rejected a superior Black candidate because he had been a member of too many minority organisations (blatant racism).
However, for White students it was the blatant racism that was more distracting. The researchers said this was because the White students weren't used to dealing with overt racism and didn't even notice the ambiguous racism.
Salvatore, J. & Shelton, J.N. (2007). Cognitive costs of exposure to racial prejudice. Psychological Science, 18, 810-815.

I don't know what to think. A single study does not persuade me. Yet, I know racism is still occurring. If a candidate can prove this kind of bias, they might prevail. There should be laws against such practices. Therefore, can a demonstrated, better qualified minority candidates explore such issues? That is a valid question. Perhaps these questions are difficult to uncover. As such, a open door policy should be legislated. I cannot perceive of another option. Concerned citizens should insist upon such legislation. I would be interested in hearing a better option. Is not the true question what to do about such practices. Responsible party's should be summarily fired, as a function of law. As well,fines should be levied against companies that allow this kind of practice.

This single study rings true to life. It is by far the most common form of racism. Minorities uncertain about their social status and identity are particularly vulnerable. Implicit racism, at the root of ambiguity, is easier for white people to deny but catches them unprepared to admit the truth and results in "color blind" posturing and self-righteously accusing minorities of playing the "race card." (It's like the referee penalizing player's response to illegal blow.) Everyone should take the Implicit Association Test as a start to correct ambiguous racism (Project Implicit website).

I don't understand how the Stroop effect can show anything about racism?

This rings true to my own experience. White guy in a black college, white guy managing a Latino hog farm and learning to habla, white guy teaching English in China, white guy living in Thailand, white guy living in Hanoi. I'm so much more likely to go off about blatant racism than my brothers or my amigos.

Having read a children's Bible at an early age, I was alyways interested in religion, but thanks to the works of St. Nikolai Velimirovic, I was fully introduced to the life of the Church.
I believe that Internet is one of the most promising assests for spreading Orthodoxy in modern era, second only to personal witnessing. As for my spiritual side, St. George the Greatmartyr is my patron, even though I consider St. Nectarios to be my secondary patron for a miracle I received thanks to this great man's intercession.

I've reached you kid!
you've been all over the place
your paragraphs long, breathless strings of disconnected
your homework wrinkled, empty pages of incomplete
your desk a black hole from which books and pencils never return
but I knew
one of my tricks would work
so today I wrote
W+S=25, and S-W=19
asked the class to solve for W and S
your eyes became large
your smile widened
the unknowns interested you
I watched you attack paper
scratching with a mission
until discovery lit up your face.
