- Title: Glee – Choke
- tv.com: link
The day of Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt's (Chris Colfer) auditions for the New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts has finally arrives, but for one of them the audition doesn't go exactly as planned. Despite Rachel's pleas to go with a safer choice Kurt performs "Not the Boy Next Door" from The Boy from Oz which turns out to be the kind of bold choice the judge (Whoopi Goldberg) is looking for, but Rachel's performance of her go-to song ("Don't Rain on My Parade" from Funny Girl) doesn't go anywhere near as smoothly.
Meanwhile Finn (Cory Monteith) tries to rally the other male members of Glee Club when Puck (Mark Salling) decides to drop-out when his attempts to seduce the remaining teacher who stands between him and graduation he decides to drop-out fail. The reappearance of Puck's father (Thomas Calabro) gives him the push he needs to try and pass his geographic test, but he'll need the help of Finn, Artie (Kevin McHale), Blaine (Darren Criss), Sam (Chord Overstreet), Joe (Samuel Larsen), and "The Rain in Spain" from My Fair Lady to succeed.
Despite their mutual loathing for each other Sue (Jane Lynch) and Roz (NeNe Leakes) bond with Coach Bieste (Dot Jones) after hearing Santana (Naya Rivera), Sugar (Vanessa Lengies), Mercedes (Amber Riley), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) , and Brittany (Heather Morris) joking about domestic violence by having the girls turn songs about violence against women into songs of female empowerment. This leads to performances of "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago and Florence + the Machine's "Shake It Out," and a confession from Coach Bieste.
This episode tackles some big issues, including the failures of both Rachel and Puck, and I'm not sure Coach Bieste story wouldn't have resonated stronger if it had been made the main story of another episode rather than just the B-story. That said Bieste story works well in presenting the emotional as well as physical effects of domestic violence (especially given the coach's final flashback). Given the outcome of everyone's story that isn't named Kurt, this might be the most depressing episode of the series. Other music numbers from this week's episodes include Kurt and Tina's performance of "The Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera, Puck sings Alice Cooper's "School's Out," and a distraught Rachel performs Kelly Clarkson's "Cry" for the show's closing number.

Lexington Medical Center Receives Grant from Susan G. Komen Foundation
Lexington Medical Center has received a significant grant from the new SC Mountains to Midlands affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to provide breast cancer screenings for uninsured and underinsured women in the Midlands. The grant totals $40,000, which will provide approximately 250 screenings at no cost to the patients.
Here is a photo of LMC breast cancer nurse navigator Kelly Jeffcoat, Komen board president Tammy Van Gieson and LMC oncology social worker Chris Gibson at a ceremony where Komen presented LMC with the grant.
Lexington Medical Center will begin offering the screenings to women who meet specific financial requirements. The grant money will also pay for transportation for the women to Women's Imaging centers in the Lexington Medical Center network of care.
"This important grant will allow us to meet a need we've never been able to meet before," said Kelly Jeffcoat, Lexington Medical Center breast cancer nurse navigator.
According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 20% of Lexington County residents do not have health insurance. With the economic downturn and rise in unemployment, the need for assistance providing access to important screenings for breast cancer is more important than ever.
The goal is to diagnose women early. Clinicians know that early detection is key to successful treatment of breast cancer.
"The biggest problem with patients who are uninsured is that by the time they're screened, it's too late," said Chris Gibson, Lexington Medical Center oncology social worker. "With these screenings, we have the potential to catch breast cancer in Stage 1, where there is a 98% cure rate."
Lexington Medical Center diagnoses approximately 250 breast cancer patients each year. The hospital's breast program is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) and the American College of Radiology (ACR). Lexington Medical Center has four Women's Imaging centers and a digital mobile mammography van. During treatment, breast cancer patients receive the assistance of two nurse navigators who provide education and emotional support.
For more information about the grant screenings, including eligibility requirements, call 803-791-2521.

So remember my last post? The one about how I was quilting the Quilt UberFest quilt but I hadn't made any blocks? Yeah, I started to feel some quilt guilt about that. So, I rummaged through my ever-expanding (much to my husband's dismay) fabric stash and found the perfect fat quarter stack to use! I am using Bari J's Paris Apartment, by Lecien. It is beautiful fabric, and I can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Win a Game Used Autographed Bat
Hey everyone! I am going to try something different in an effort to raise money for the Torii Hunter Project. I am going to do a series of raffles this season on my website and all the proceeds will go towards helping kids in need via the Torii Hunter Project. I am going to start with a game used autographed bat and if all goes well and we raise some good money I will do something bigger and better each month.
4 Comments
I just picked you up on my fantasy baseball team. Hope you have a monster year.
I must say, I'm really going to enjoy following this. I'm a huge fan of yours as well as the Angels, but me being from and living in Denmark (Europe), makes it hard to follow the games and compete in the raffle. So with that said, **** luck with the competion by raising the money as well as winning the goodies!
(There is also no such thing as baseball in Denmark, which really sucks, so we play fastpitch softball – even the guys.)
Kind regards, Chris #42 the young softballer!
Hey Torii, you rock! Minnesota Twins fans still adore you. I hope you notice that whenever you return to Minnesota we cheer loudly whenever you are announced. We LOVE you! I will happily support your cause.
Ah… trying to make good by giving away stuff. Nice try, no one still cares. I wouldn't take one of your autographs if you paid me to take it.

By now, most of you have heard of Facebook's $1Billion sale of Instagram, an app developed by a bunch of young 20 somethings that lets users post photos. Today, Instagram has about 50 million users which works out to about $20/ person. "Cha ching" for anyone involved …
Punditry aside about whether it is a shrewd deal for Facebook – instead of "cha ching" – all I hear is hissing as the air escapes from Boomers' retirement funds.
It is alarming and here's what I mean.
You see, I have worked with tech ventures for over a dozen years, starting at Bell Labs New Ventures and continuing to this very day. In that time, I have worked with many startups, often gratis, because it's so rewarding when my expertise can really make a difference in the early days of a venture. CEOs have the product vision but they rarely have marketing know-how to get the product to market. That's where I step in. I help startups assess their market potential so they can monetize.
And in the dozen years or so I have been doing this, I see an alarming new twist to the never ending parade of venture dreams that haunts me. I liken it to the disturbing "Gold Rush" era where many more prospecting failures bankrupted folks versus the rare, outlier successes.
In today's day and age – here is how it goes down.
Johnny or Jane are in college and – wham – they hatch an idea for a company often inspired by the innovation incubators on every campus. The idea grabs their passionate attention because at least they can try and make it happen versus trying to get a job which is tough and depressing.
Mr. and Mrs. SupportiveParents are happy their kids have found something that inspires them, so they cover more of their kids' living expenses so the kids can commit themselves to their "passion."
After about three or four months, their idea has some substance and the kids realize they need some money to create a "demo". Of course, there is no cogent business plan (if a business plan even exists) but Mr. and Mrs. SupportiveParents kick in the $10,000 or $20,000 to create said demo – on top of the extra expenses they are already incurring to keep their kids in school. (This is when you can start to hear the air escaping from Mr. and Mrs. SupportiveParents 401K accounts!)
A couple of months later said demo is "almost done" but not quite because the kids did not really do a business plan and as they worked, the idea kept changing (translation = more cost). "But I only need another $20,000 to finish it off. Then it will take off because it is so cool. Please …" Again, as we would expect, Mr. and Mrs. SupportiveParents step in and shell out what their kids need.
Slowly but surely, over time, as their kids refine their idea; there is steady attrition of the parents' savings plans because startups need constant funds. This tableau is playing out again and again and I know it because I have met too many Mr. and Mrs. SupportiveParents in the last few months who have depleted their savings by $150,000 or more to help their kids live their passion.
It is frightening to see since most new ventures are "high risk" in the best of circumstances, making them wholly unsuitable investments for most any Boomer given their proximity to retirement. And if that's not bad enough, it's even worse once you understand that kids' ventures, proportionately, have a higher mortality rate because they are borne of 90% enthusiasm and 10% practicality despite their parents' 100% support 100% of the time.
This is a dangerous combination – especially in frothy times like ours where opportunities for kids are limited yet perversely, the potential for untold wealth is tantalizingly possible.
And this brings me back my point. The Instagram sale was an aberration – a fluke – an outlier event – possible because of a unique set of circumstances. Yet it infused a new level of Gold Rush fervor into the passionate hearts of ambitious young entrepreneurs despite the reality that the chances of striking it rich today are about equal to striking it rich in the Gold Rush of 1848. And just as sadly, their loving parents are funding these ventures despite the improbable odds.
So while many people hear the "cha ching" of $1B, all I hear is the air escaping from parent's retirement funds. It is not a happy sound. Not at all.
Judy Shapiro
P.S. – I am posting this as my personal Mother's Day present to Mrs. SupportiveParent. Be careful – please!

Prince William says baby George is a 'rascal'
Prince William chatted with CNN royal correspondent Max Foster in a taped interview that aired Monday morning. Foster conducted the interview less than two weeks after Prince George was born. Here are the highlights:
On the feeling he experienced when he and Duchess Catherine emerged from St. Mary's Hospital following the birth of Prince George:
I think more shock and dauntingness is the feeling I felt. I think I was on such a high anyway and so was Catherine about George that we were happy to show him off to whoever wanted to see him. As any new parent knows you're only too happy to show off your new child and proclaim that he's the best looking or the best anything.
On so swiftly and accurately putting George's car seat into the car:
Believe me it wasn't my first time and I know there's been speculation about that. I had to practice. I was terrified that I was going to do something or he was going to fall off or it wouldn't close properly.
On his decision to drive Catherine and baby George home:
I'm as independent as I want to be and same as Catherine and Harry. We've all grown up differently to other generations. I very much feel if I can do it myself, then I will do it myself. There are times when you can't do it yourself or the system takes over or it's appropriate to do things differently.
On Prince George:
He's a little bit of a rascal. He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure. He's doing very well at the moment. He does like to keep having his nappy changed. He's growing quite quickly actually. He's a little fighter. He wriggles around a lot. He doesn't want to get his sleep, which is a little bit of a problem.
On Catherine as a new mom:
She's doing a fantastic job.
On his new life as a father:
For me, Catherine and now little George are my priorities ... and Lupo (their cocker spaniel).
On Lupo and the new baby:
He's coping all right, actually. ... As a lot of people know when you have dogs and you bring a newborn back they take a little time to adapt. He's been slobbering all around the house. He's perfectly happy.
On going back to work:
Well, as a few fathers might know I'm actually quite looking forward to going back to work and getting some sleep. I'm just hoping the first few shifts I go back I don't have any night jobs.
On his experience this summer:
The last few weeks for me have been a different emotional experience, something I never thought I would feel myself. And I find, again it's only been a short period, but a lot of things affect me differently now.

Appetite-Stimulating Hormone Is First Potential Medical Treatment For Frailty In Older Women
August 17, 2017
Older women suffering from clinical frailty stand to benefit from the first potential medical treatment for the condition, according to a study presented today by Penn Medicine researchers at ENDO, The Endocrine Society's 91st Annual Meeting. Ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, was administered to older women diagnosed with frailty, a common geriatric syndrome characterized by unintentional weight loss, weakness, exhaustion and low levels of anabolic hormones which increases risk of falls, hospitalizations, disability, and death. Those who received ghrelin infusions consumed 51 percent more calories than the placebo group, with an increase in carbohydrate and protein intake, not fat. Their growth hormone levels were also higher throughout the ghrelin infusion.
"As Americans are increasingly living into their 80s and 90s, we need to identify ways to prevent or treat common geriatric conditions, such as unexplained weight loss and frailty, which have serious health consequences," said senior author Anne Cappola, MD, ScM, Assistant Professor of Medicine in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "We're gaining a better understanding of the hormonal changes that occur as we get older and, with treatments like ghrelin, we can start intervening to prevent some of the common health problems that keep elderly people from living their most productive lives."
In the pilot study, funded by the National Institutes of Health and Penn's Institute on Aging, five frail women and five healthy women, all over the age of seventy, were randomized to receive an infusion of the hormone ghrelin or placebo. After a ghrelin transfusion, frail women in the study had a stronger, healthy appetite and increased anabolic hormone activity. The only side effect reported during the treatment was a transient sense of warmth that occurred in four women who received the ghrelin transfusion.
Now that safety and initial efficacy has been proven in this pilot study, larger follow-up studies will look at the potential therapeutic role of ghrelin or ghrelin mimetic agents in the frail population. At this time, these agents are only available for research use.
PENN Medicine is a $3.6 billion enterprise dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. PENN Medicine consists of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
Penn's School of Medicine is currently ranked #3 in the nation in U.S.News & World Report's survey of top research-oriented medical schools; and, according to the National Institutes of Health, received over $366 million in NIH grants (excluding contracts) in the 2008 fiscal year. Supporting 1,700 fulltime faculty and 700 students, the School of Medicine is recognized worldwide for its superior education and training of the next generation of physician-scientists and leaders of academic medicine.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) includes its flagship hospital, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, rated one of the nation's top ten "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S.News & World Report; Pennsylvania Hospital, the nation's first hospital; and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, named one of the nation's "100 Top Hospitals" for cardiovascular care by Thomson Reuters. In addition UPHS includes a primary-care provider network; a faculty practice plan; home care, hospice, and nursing home; three multispecialty satellite facilities; as well as the Penn Medicine at Rittenhouse campus, which offers comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation facilities and outpatient services in multiple specialties.

Decreasing Your Triglycerides Through Dietary Changes
You may have been advised to you lower your triglyceride levels. While medication and aerobic exercise are effective in triglyceride lowering, there are also several dietary approaches you can try. If you want to lower your triglycerides without medications, be sure you talk with your doctor so that you can work together.
Here's Why It Is Important to Decrease Your Triglyceride Levels:
Triglycerides are the form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body. In addition to consuming triglycerides in food, our bodies can make triglycerides from carbohydrate. Excess calories (those not used right away by the body's tissues) are converted to triglycerides and transported to fat cells to be stored. These stored triglycerides can be broken down when the body needs energy.
Recent research has linked a high triglyceride level (called hypertriglyceridemia) to an increased risk of heart disease. High and normal triglyceride levels are defined as follows:
- Less than 150 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dl [1.7 mmol/L] = normal
- 150-199 mg/dl (1.7-2.2 mmol/L) = borderline high
- 200-499 mg/dl (2.3-5.6 mmol/L) = high
- 500 mg/dl and above (5.7 mmol/L) = very high
Here's How To Do It:
If your triglyceride level is above 150 mg/dl (1.7 mmol/L), the following steps can help you lower your level to the healthful range:
Eat a Diet Low in Saturated Fat
All heart-healthy diets are low in saturated fat. Saturated fat is found in full-fat dairy products (whole milk, cream, butter, cheese, ice cream), meats, lard, fried foods, coconut palm, and palm kernel oils. Replace these foods with healthier fats and whole grain carbohydrates.
Eat More Unsaturated Fats
These healthy fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These fats are found in canola oil, olive oil, nuts, avocados, olives, and fatty fish. Fatty fish, such as mackerel, trout, albacore tuna, and salmon, are especially good choices because they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are good for your heart and may also help prevent other chronic conditions. Research has shown that eaten regularly, they can reduce your triglyceride level.
Some ideas for replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat include the following:
- Choose fish over beef when dining out.
- At the barbecue, go for grilled tuna steak instead of a hamburger or hot dog.
- Put lox (smoked salmon) on your bagel instead of butter.
- Cook with olive oil instead of butter.
- Put slices of avocado in your sandwich instead of cheese.
- Snack on nuts and dried fruit instead of potato chips.
Cut Down on Simple Carbohydrates (Sugar)
While it is important to reduce saturated fat, do not overly restrict total fat (aim for less than 25–35% of total calories from fat). Excess carbohydrate can actually raise your triglycerides, while lowering HDL cholesterol, which is the "good" kind of cholesterol. This is why the recommendation is to replace saturated fat with healthier unsaturated fat. Also, limit sugary foods such as candy, soda, and sweets. Choose whole grain carbohydrates, such as whole wheat bread and brown rice.
Lose Excess Weight
Often losing as little as a 5-10 pounds can help lower your triglyceride level. To lose weight, cut down on excess calories from all sources, not just fat. Combine this decreased intake with a regular exercise program to increase the amount of calories you burn.
Limit Alcohol Intake
Alcohol may contribute to high triglyceride levels. Consider drinking alcohol in moderation. Moderate alcohol consumption is 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men.
Stop Smoking
Exercise Regularly
The American Heart Association recommends being physically active for 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. If you are not physically active already, you can start with 10 minutes of moderate activity like walking, swimming, or yoga, and gradually increase your activity. Talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program.

Hi :smileyhappy:
i have some trouble setting up a "Dualboot" with Windows 7 and Debian on my S205.
I got my S205 with FreeDOS. I replaced the HDD with a Samsung 470 Series SSD.
Then i installed Windows:
Hitting F12 (e.g. Fn+F11); selecting my external USB DVD drive; waiting until the first "press any key to boo from cd/dvd........." prompt expired. Then a second one - this time in german since i have a german Windows 7 - appeared.
When i enter the Windows setup from the first prompt, the installer complains about unsupported storage media - maybe this is because my SSD is preformatted with an MBR partition table and the first prompt enters the EFI+GPT Windows installer.
So i guess the first prompt does not come from my Windows CD, maybe some EFI program?
Anyway, when i entered the setup from the second, german prompt (which comes from the CD i think), i was able to install Windows like i used to do on "normal" PCs with BIOS. So i think this is the BIOS emulation mode.
Windows works well, including Shutdown, Hibernate, WLAN. But i wanted a dualboot setup, so i shrinked the Windows C: partition, maintaining the correct alignment (partition offsets) to preserve health and performance of my SSD.
Then i created 3 new partitions - one for /boot (/dev/sda3), one for / (/dev/sda5) and one for swap (/dev/sda6).
After that, i installed Debian Sid to /dev/sda5 (which is btrfs) and GRUB (grub-legacy, 0.97) to /dev/sda3 because /boot shouldn't be on a btrfs.
First i tried GRUB2, but it doesn't work. I found some advice in planet3dnow.de forums. They say i had to use GRUB instead of GRUB2. So i did...
I chrooted in my installed Debian using a Live-CD, purged every single grub package and installed grub-legacy.
As root, i entered
# grub
to get a grub shell. Then
root (hd0,2)
setup (hd0,2)
to install GRUB to my /boot partition. Of course, /dev/sda3 (which is (hd0,2)) was marked as active.
When i turned my S205 on after that, it gave me "loading GRUB.." and then immediately restarted, and so on (infinite loop).
The same happened when i tried to install GRUB to (hd0,0), which is the Windows 7 boot partition.
I know that you normally install GRUB to the MBR of the disk, but that didn't work at all:
When i tried to install GRUB to (hd0) in the beginning, when booting all i got was "BOOTMGR missing, press ctrl+alt+del to restart" from Windows.
I had to boot the Windows CD, execute 'bootrec /fixmbr', 'bootrec /fixboot', 'bootsect /nt60 C: /mbr' and set the first partition (Windows Bootloader) as active to fix that.
But directly after that, GRUB worked, which is quite surprising since the mentioned Windows commands normally overwrite everything related to foreign bootloaders.
Now i can boot my Debian, that works like a charm. But i can't boot Windows.
I have the following entry in my /boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Windows 7
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Normally this works when Windows (or, here, its bootloader) is on the first partition. Of course i tried (hd0,1) as well since this is the "C:" partition (/dev/sda2). /dev/sda1 has only 100MB and contains the Windows Bootloader.
What can i do? :smileysad:
1. boot a Linux Live-CD
2. mount /dev/sda5 to /mnt, /dev/sda3 to /mnt/boot. bindmount /dev and /sys and mount /proc to their places in /mnt.
3. chroot /mnt
4. purge every grub related package
5. install grub-pc (it's GRUB2) and os-prober
6. grub-install /dev/sda --> update-grub
7. boot the Windows CD, enter the console
8. bootsect /nt60 C:
9. diskpart --> select disk 0 --> select partition 3 --> active --> exit
10. repeat 1.-3.
11. grub-install --force /dev/sda3 (warinings about blocklists, ignore that. Should finish with "ok, no errors". Problems with core.img? Post them here!)
12. update-grub (should find Windows 7 Loader)
13. reboot into your working GRUB2 :smileyhappy:

Hi, I have the same kind of problem but I'm Ubuntu only.
When I tried grub-install /dev/sda1 (my /boot), I got plenty of error saying it won't install on it.
I was afraid (and still) to go further...
Hi sioban,
if you want to use Ubuntu only, you can avoid this kind of trouble. Just install Ubuntu 11.04 using the "Desktop" CD, preferrably 64bit. It should produce a working grub2 installation.
I guess you installed Ubuntu using the netinstall image "mini.iso" or the "Alternate"-CD?
Anyway, if you want to continue: Be sure to have backups of your data on the S205.
Don't worry about warnings when doing 'grub-install --force /dev/sda1'. the --force option was necessary for me.
The worst-case-scenario when this leads to errors: You can't boot your Ubuntu anymore and have to wipe your disk (including MBR!) and start again, using the "Desktop"-CD.
i'm using another Setup now, Suspend To Disk/Shutdown is working now.
First i installed Windows 7 (MBR, BIOS), then i continued with Ubuntu. Ubiquity installed GRUB 2, an EFI version. It doesn't work because of the fall-back-EFI-loader (Windows installs two loaders: a normal one and a fall back loader).
Because of this i created an entry in the Windows boot menu that loads GRUB 2. You can do this with EasyBCD.

Harlem rapper Jim Jones has pleaded guilty to assault in a scuffle with a friend of R&B performer Ne-Yo's in a Louis Vuitton store.
Jones entered his plea to the misdemeanor charge Monday in a Manhattan court. He was sentenced to time served -- the few hours he was in custody after turning himself in to police in January.
He and Jayvon Smith faced off in front of holiday shoppers at the Fifth Avenue luxury-goods store Dec. 22. Defense lawyer Scott Leemon had said Jones didn't start the fight. Last year, he called the case "a setup for a civil lawsuit" and payday for Javon Smith.
Leemon said Monday that Jones pleaded guilty because he didn't want to risk probation -- and potential touring restrictions -- if convicted.
The 33-year-old Jones released his latest album, "Pray IV Reign," in March.
Jones, who debuted a play about himself earlier this year, said he liked taking on the challenge because "most rappers aren't eager to do a play, " he said.

Satyam vada! Dharmam cara! – Speak the truth! Practice Virtue! (Taittiriya Upanishad Chapter I, section 11, Verse 1)
Satyameva Jayate nanrtam – Truth alone wins, not untruth (Mundaka Upanishad Chapter Chapter III Verse 6).
Satyam na pramaditavyam – Let there be no neglect of Truth (Taittiriya Upanishad Chapter I, section 11, Verse 1)
By truth is laid out the path leading to the gods (Mundaka Upanishad Chapter III Verse 6).
Truthfulness is excellent. What is excellent is truthfulness only. By truthfulness those who have attained to the state of blissfulness never fall from there. What belongs to sat, namely good people, that is indeed satyam (truthfulness). For this reason seekers of the highest good find delight in truthfulness. (Maha Narayana Upanishad Verse 78 – 1)
The face of truth is covered by a pot of gold. – Ishavasya Upanishad

BRUSSELS/PARIS (Reuters) - A few hours after midnight one Sunday last month, as negotiations over a rescue for Cyprus dragged into a second day, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici fell asleep.
Most euro zone ministers in Brussels that night failed to notice, continuing to pore over the details of the multi-billion-euro deal. It fell to Christine Lagarde, French director of the International Monetary Fund, to approach Moscovici and nudge him awake, according to witnesses at the March 24 talks.
The sight of the IMF head waking up France's top finance official in a crisis meeting neatly illustrates a question that is troubling European diplomats: what has happened to France's voice in Europe?
For decades France has been central to the European project that was born out of World War Two and now reaches from Europe's Atlantic coast to beyond the former Iron Curtain.
Straddling north and south, France has a unique perspective on Europe. It is the European Union's largest economy after Germany. One of six founders of the original European coal and steel community in 1951, it has shaped and often led, the institutions that make the EU tick.
The readiness of successive French and German leaders to work together has for decades created a consensus among two former enemies that has steered Europe through crisis and change - from the end of the Cold War and Germany's reunification, to the expansion of the EU to the east and the introduction of the single European currency in 1999.
For much of the past four years, during which the euro zone was nearly torn apart by a debt crisis, the Franco-German axis has held true. But in the past six months, questions have arisen about what France is offering in terms of fresh ideas, and how it is dealing with the rest of Europe.
"You can see a shrinking presence, a progressive disappearance of France on most issues that concern the economic agenda," said Fredrik Erixon, director of the European Centre for International Political Economy, a Brussels think tank.
European diplomats from a range of member states, speaking on condition of anonymity, are more blunt.
"You don't hear France's voice at all. They are nowhere, just nowhere," said a senior European diplomat who is in frequent contact with other member states.
"This is a critical country and yet it seems absent," he said, mentioning as an example a lack of sustained French input to the debate on how to strengthen economic and monetary union.
"It's not just strange, it's worrying," he said. "Everyone is aware of the problem. There's concern at multiple levels."
Even France accepts something is wrong. Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told parliament this month it was time the country reasserted itself so that "what it says counts in Europe, and that it can rediscover the leadership role it has lost".
Diplomats, officials and analysts interviewed by Reuters offered a range of theories for the ebbing French influence - from the style-change since the consensual Francois Hollande took over from the more combative Nicolas Sarkozy, to the fact that English is displacing French as Brussels' lingua franca.
There is broad agreement that one root of the problem lies in France's inability so far to follow Germany's lead in reforming its economy. A lack of economic competitiveness has undermined France's ability to project influence in Brussels.
Hollande insists early reforms such as a deal with trade unions to loosen labour law should be given time to work, and points to the fact that he has already managed to reduce France's public deficit from its Sarkozy-era levels.
Yet critics say the pace of reform is not fast enough, especially when it comes to pensions reform and overhauling a centralised economy.
In February, France finally conceded what its EU partners had guessed for months: that it would not be able to keep a promise to bring the deficit down to 3 percent of output this year. At the same time growth is weak and debt and unemployment are rising.
Away from the economy, France remains vocal. On foreign and defence policy, its intervention to help combat Islamist rebels in Mali and its diplomatic efforts to end the Syrian conflict show the veto-holding U.N. Security Council member remains a powerful voice, and one able to make an impact. In such matters, France is as confident as it was a decade ago when it galvanised European resistance to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
But on Europe's most pressing economic issue - how it sees off the debt crisis and puts itself on a footing to compete with the United States and Asia - the weakness of France's economy and public finances means its voice is muffled.
"If you don't have your house in order, it's very difficult to influence others," said Erixon of the ECIPE think tank. "This is not the sort of France we've grown used to having in the European Union."
When Hollande came to power last May as France's first Socialist president since Francois Mitterand was elected in 1981, many in France and southern Europe expected him to act as a buffer to the German-led push for budget austerity.
Such hopes looked set to be borne out when, to the delight of Spain and Italy, he used his maiden EU summit last June to demand that the EU create a "growth pact" to alleviate the pain of deficit-cutting. Yet the growth pact is failing to prevent much of Europe sliding into recession and Hollande has stopped short of rallying a southern bloc against Merkel.
"We understand there is disappointment in the south about that," said a French source closely involved in EU policy. "But there was no way we were going to risk dividing Europe in two."
Finance Minister Moscovici says renewed debate about growth and austerity is proof that France is being heard.
Another factor in Hollande's choice not to align France with the south might well have been the financial markets.
In 2012, whenever Hollande spoke out in sympathy with Spain, Italy or Greece and looked ready to go toe-to-toe with Germany and other northern European states over austerity, the yields on France's benchmark 10-year bonds would rise.
When rating agency Moody's last November stripped French debt of its triple-A rating, some suggested France risked being re-categorised as a southern European economy such as Spain and Italy - with the higher borrowing costs that come with that.
So while Hollande maintains a stream of verbal attacks on austerity, he continues to chip away at France's deficit, albeit at a slower pace than Berlin or Brussels would like.
It adds up to a half-way house that, for now, the markets accept: France's 10-year bond yield has fallen to all-time lows around 1.80 percent, occupying a niche between even lower-yielding German Bunds and riskier southern bonds.
But Hollande's need to keep a safe distance between France and the countries of the south has not led to a greater meeting of minds with Berlin, his most important relationship.
Whereas Merkel and Sarkozy enjoyed warm relations, no matter how different their personal styles, Hollande and the German chancellor have struggled to find a comfortable pitch, a lack of ease most prominently on show at the EU's frequent summits.
Ahead of EU gatherings, Sarkozy, a man of nervous energy and constant activity, would criss-cross Europe in bursts of shuttle diplomacy and then meet Merkel in Paris or Berlin the day before to agree a common position, much to other leaders' chagrin.
The ritual meant France and Germany were always centre-stage and gave the impression of driving decision-making, not least as the EU has held no fewer than 25 summits in the past 3-1/2 years rather than the usual four a year.
Moreover, the body language of what famously became known as "Merkozy" was choreographed to show Franco-German togetherness. When the two arrived at summits, they would make a show of bonhomie, kissing each other on each cheek and smiling broadly.
While Merkel and Hollande have recently started pecking each other on the cheek, flashes of empathy have been few. "As you know, Mrs Merkel and I do not see things the same way, but we have the same duty - to push Europe forward," Hollande said last month, calling the relationship one of "friendly tension".
Hollande's aides say his reluctance to hatch deals with Berlin is a deliberate policy to include the other 25 members of the EU in decision-making. But one consequence is that Berlin is now doing more of its deal-making with others.
"France has found it hard to define itself, either to pretend that there is a Franco-German agreement, or that it can be a driving force behind a Franco-German agreement," said Jean Pisani-Ferry, the director of Bruegel, a Brussels-based think tank that frequently provides policy advice to the EU.
Hollande's task of making France's voice heard is all the harder given the internal differences on European policy among ministers and allies. Finance Minister Moscovici is a supporter of deeper EU integration while Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is seen as wary of further moves to shed sovereignty.
"Hollande has not come down forcefully on either side of the debate so far," noted Thomas Klau, director of the Paris office of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
Opponents of Hollande are making hay out of the disarray. Bruno Le Maire, Sarkozy's former Europe minister, said France's voice in Europe was now at its weakest since 1957, the year before Charles de Gaulle founded the Fifth Republic.
Whoever is to blame, the fact remains that one of Europe's main motors is not functioning as it should.
"France is tied up with internal problems and is not the strong interlocutor we would like," said Michael Grosse-Broemer, parliamentary whip for Merkel's Christian Democrats. "But that's not Berlin's problem, or the chancellor's."
Others argue it is very much Germany's problem.
Cypriot public anger at an EU rescue package that for the first time imposed losses on bank depositors was directed at Germany - a pattern already observed on the streets of Athens, Madrid and Rome. From Berlin's point of view, not having a partner standing alongside it makes life difficult.
"It's not in the interests of Germany," said Bruegel's Pisani-Ferry. "It doesn't want to be seen as the country running the show. That's not very comfortable for it, obviously."
Just how the European Union will evolve if French influence is durably muted and Germany is pushed against its will into a lone leadership role is hard to predict.
But it did not go unnoticed in Paris that it was the prime minister of Britain and his family who were recently invited to spend the weekend with Merkel at a country estate.
"These days it is with David Cameron that Angela Merkel tries to build a common position," wrote Le Point weekly with a hint of pique. "And not with Francois Hollande."

Power distribution products save energy
Eaton ePDUs help reduce power distribution costs in 400 V data center configurations, with energy savings and efficiency gains.
Industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation announced 400 volt (V) configurations for its ePDU power distribution product line. The new units are designed to help reduce power distribution costs in enterprise class data centers where high-density computing is required. The 400V ePDU products allow consulting-specifying engineers to design data centers that help customers in North America recognize significant energy savings and efficiency gains.
In 2009, Eaton leveraged the transformer-free design of its 9390 and 9395 three-phase uninterruptible power systems (UPSs) to provide a 400 V ac product for North American markets. Eaton conducted a quantitative comparison of different configurations to demonstrate the efficiency benefits of the 400 V ac power distribution system in today's data centers. The new 400 V ePDU product offering is UL listed and uses IEC 60309 input connectors approved for use in North America. The standard offering includes 20 and 30 amp configurations with monitoring and outlet switching capabilities.
"Eaton introduced the 400 V ePDU products to extend the capabilities of its award-winning UPS technology," said Joe Skorjanec, ePDU product manager, Eaton Distributed Power Solutions. "The 400V ePDU products allow users to run servers at 230 V versus 208 V. The advantages are increased efficiency and reduced distribution costs."
Data centers using the alternative power scheme can use Eaton's 400 V ePDU products to power information technology (IT) racks without the need for a stand-alone power distribution unit (PDU). Eaton is reportedly installing 400 V ePDU products in its own data center, currently under construction in Kentucky.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A year after they were featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks," the Bengals have scripted their own reality show.
T.O. and Ocho. Two self-conscious stars, one NFL team.
How will they fit? How will it work? Which receiver will provide most of the drama?
And, more importantly, will any of it help the Bengals get back to the playoffs?
The Bengals reached a contract agreement with receiver Terrell Owens on Tuesday, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. He's expected to report to training camp in a day or two.
The Bengals were his first choice, giving him a chance to team with close friend Chad Ochocinco, who has already dubbed the pair Batman and Robin. The Bengals made an offer on Monday, and Owens accepted a day later.
Players are required to report for the start of training camp on Wednesday in Georgetown, Ky. Owens is expected to show up when workouts begin on Thursday, said the person speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had made no announcement.
On his Twitter account, all Owens would say was, "Hoping 2 b a Bengal w/in the 24hrs!!" He's expected to sign his deal with he arrives in Georgetown.
Already, it's like something out of a reality show.
Ochocinco gushed about the matchup on his Twitter feed, welcoming Owens and joking that "all of our games have been moved to pay-per-view, you got to pay to see this."
Both of the look-at-me receivers are accustomed to cable.
By adding the 36-year-old Owens, the Bengals will lead the NFL in reality show stars. Ochocinco competed on "Dancing With the Stars" in the offseason, and has a dating show called "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch" currently running on VH1. After Ochocinco's show comes "The T.O. Show."
Ochocinco's last show involved eliminating two contestants. Owens' last program had him walking down a runway as part of a fashion show in metrosexual attire -- bare chest under an open jacket with a huge necklace and a wig.
In a couple of days, it will be the dancer-and-dater on one side of the field, the metrosexual model on the other.
In the middle will be quarterback Carson Palmer, who helped bring Owens to Cincinnati. Palmer worked out with Owens in California and called coach Marvin Lewis, saying the team ought to try to sign him.
Bengals owner Mike Brown went along, even though he knew Owens also brings a lot of baggage. The outspoken receiver has a history of undercutting his quarterbacks, though he was on good behavior last season in Buffalo.
Brown doesn't mind. He has a history of providing extra chances to players who have caused trouble, allowing them to extend their careers in Bengals stripes. In the last two years, the Bengals also have signed receiver Chris Henry, running back Cedric Benson, running back Larry Johnson and receiver Matt Jones, all of whom were let go because of off-field issues.
"Yes, people can make mistakes," Brown said at the team's preseason luncheon on Monday. "It doesn't mean that they go on the rest of their lives making mistakes. They can get their ship pointed in the right direction. This is a 36-year-old man. He's been through a lot. He's proven as a player and as a person."
The question is how much he has left.
Owens caught 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns with the Bills last season, his least-productive full season since early in his career with San Francisco. The Bengals are trying to upgrade a passing game that was one of the NFL's worst last season, ranking 26th. The Bengals won the AFC North by relying on defense.
and their running game. They released receiver Laveranues Coles after his only season in Cincinnati, and went looking for a replacement.
They gave Owens a tryout in March, but decided to sign Antonio Bryant to a four-year deal instead.
Brown had a one-on-one meeting with Owens and came away impressed. When the receiver still available as camp was opening, Brown decided to add him, as well.
The Bengals could move Bryant to an inside slot position, one they've struggled to fill since T.J. Houshmandzadeh left as a free agent. They could alternate the two receivers at an outside spot opposite Ochocinco, who was regularly double-teamed last season.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus, who represents Owens and Ochocinco, didn't return a phone message to discuss the deal, believed to be for one year.

Hello All,
I'm having a serious problem with AJAX in my web application that has our entire development team banging their head against the keyboard.
(Unfortunately, all that banging hasn't yielded a good answer, so I'm hoping one of the experts here have a possible solution!)
The core question is this:
How can I make sure ajax calls to the server have completed?
The problem we're having is that we have a page with a bunch of AJAX calls. The calls work perfectly and the page works well. The issue is that when we submit the form on the page, we get very inconsistent results. Sometimes everything works as expected and we're directed to the correct page. Other times, it seems like the AJAX calls are still running and when the form is submitted it literally kicks us out of the application.
We tried to increment a counter when we start an ajax call and decrementing it when the ajax call finishes and then only submitting the form if that counter is zero, but that sadly did not work.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
We're also open to using jQuery if that holds the answer.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. And, if you help and you're ever in the Toronto area, I owe you a bunch of drinks! =)

Fukushima is now far and away the worst nuclear disaster in all of human history. Chernobyl was a Sunday picnic compared to Fukushima and the amount of cesium-137 released at Fukushima this year so far is equivalent to 168 Hiroshima bombs. The crisis at Fukushima is far, far worse than you have been told. We are talking about multiple self-sustaining nuclear meltdowns that will not be fully contained for years. In an attempt to keep people calm, authorities in Japan (and around the rest of the world as well) have lied and lied and lied. Over the months that have passed since the disaster began, small bits of the truth have slowly started to come out. Authorities are finally admitting that the area immediately surrounding Fukushima will be uninhabitable indefinitely, and they are finally admitting that the amount of radioactive material that has been released is far higher than initially reported. It is going to take the Japanese years to fully contain this problem. Meanwhile, Fukushima will continue to blast all of us with high levels of cesium, strontium and plutonium and will slowly kill millions of people around the globe for years to come.
These days, the mainstream media does not talk about Fukushima much. The reality is that there have been a whole lot of other disasters for them to talk about.
But just because Fukushima is a nightmare that is playing out in very slow motion does not mean that it does not deserve our full attention. more

Left 4 Dead 2 DLC 'The Passing' Announced

The first downloadable add-on for zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2 is slated to hit PC and Xbox 360 in the "early spring," developer Valve announced today.
A crossover of undead proportions, "The Passing" sees the original Left 4 Dead survivors meet up with those of Left 4 Dead 2, with players taking control of the L4D2 crew.
The download will include a new campaign, set in a rural Georgia town after the events of L4D2's Dead Center campaign, along with a new firearm, a new melee weapon, a new type of "uncommon common" foe, and new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge plus "a new co-operative challenge mode of play."
Valve noted that "pricing will be announced closer to launch." The company is known for its extensive free post-release support on PC--see Team Fortress 2--but has lamented that Microsoft forces it to charge for some Xbox 360 add-ons.
"The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign," said Valve marketing VP Doug Lombardi. "It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry."

I guarantee you the closest shave you'll ever know."
-Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp)
In 1979, acclaimed composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim premiered his newest work, entitled Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The musical was complex, dark, and closer to opera than your classic Broadway musical. The show required a lot of the audience, and initial reactions were less than positive. And yet, the production has grown in esteem and popularity. Director Tim Burton enjoyed the piece from its original debut, to the point where it became his favorite musical. As he put in the liner notes to the soundtrack CD for the film, he felt the character of Sweeney Todd was on the level of a classic Universal monster. And given the success Burton has had of late with pre-existing material (the delightful Charlie and the Chocolate Factory leaps to mind), it only made sense that he try to tackle such heady material.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street tells the tale of the titular barber, formerly Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp), banished from London for fifteen years by the lustful Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman). Turpin is after Barker's wife, Lucy (Laura Michelle Kelly), and after raping her, steals their daughter, Johanna (Jayne Wisener). Barker returns to London as Sweeney Todd, a man hellbent on revenge. He takes up residence in his old flat about the pie shop of Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who has an infatuation with Todd. A friend of Todd's, Anthony (Jamie Campbell Bower) notices Johanna at her window, and despite being beaten by the Judge and his assistant, Beadle Bamford (Timothy Spall), vows to steal her away and elope. Todd uses this to his advantage in a plot to lure the judge into his clutches, while Mrs. Lovett tries to convince Todd that all they need is each other. And there's also a lot of murder, cannibalism, child abuse, and plenty of other politically incorrect goings on.
Despite the seemingly natural pairing of a brooding visualist like Burton and the richly dark content of Sondheim's groundbreaking musical, but in truth it was a very bold move on Burton's part. Despite including musical numbers in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this was the first time that he would be making a film where the music not only played continuously throughout the picture, but also propelled the plot and focused the narrative. It helps that Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street has more depth than almost any other musical on the planet, and this stems from the genius of Stephen Sondheim.
Sondheim is perhaps the best-known American musical composer, having won seven Tony Awards, an Academy Award, many Grammys, and a Pulitzer Prize. Many of his works have become standards of the format, including A Little Night Music, Sunday In The Park With George, and Into The Woods. He's written material in a variety of different styles, proving himself time and time again as a master of melody and construction. Sweeney Todd is probably his most compositionally complex work, with a lot of counterpoint and angular harmonies. He's fond of overlaying different parts on top of each other, both musically and vocally. The show is constructed using many leitmotifs, recurring musical themes that pop up in different configurations throughout the runtime. The music is so ambitious and expansive that the show has often been compared to opera.
The songs in Sweeney Todd are not your typical toe-tapping tunes. There are a lot of half-steps and off rhythm notes, giving the score a disorienting feel. However, Sondheim smartly makes the melodies lush and memorable. That doesn't mean the music is immediately accessible. Far from it. Many people, especially those who grew up on the regular 4/4 rhythms of rock, find the atypical numbers to be quite off putting, to the point of labeling them rambling and poorly written. But for those willing to invest the time to study the music and gain a larger appreciation for it will find some of the richest compositions in the musical milieu.
In addition, Sondheim's reputation as a lyricist is also sterling. And despite the brooding nature of the material, Sweeney Todd has a lot of sharp humor. Much of this centers around the character of Mrs. Lovett, who is introduced to the audience by singing about how her pies are "The Worst Pies In London," where she decries how hard times are that a rival pie maker, Mrs. Mooney, steals the local cats to fill her pastries. Of course, Mrs. Lovett would never do such a thing...but by god those cats are quick. Or the centerpiece of the musical, "A Little Priest," where Todd and Mrs. Lovett, having hatched a scheme to cook the victims of Todd's lethal shaves, describe how each different class of person would taste. Each type of person is ridiculed by the pair as they relate how someone's behavior would affect the way they taste. For example, a priest "Doesn't commit sins of the flesh/So it's pretty fresh." And they note how "Lawyer's rather nice/If it's for a price" but you had better "Order something else, though, to follow/Since no one should swallow it twice!" Mrs. Lovett goes so far as to offer "Shepherd's Pie peppered with actual shepherd" and the two finish the number by declaring they will "Serve anyone/Meaning anyone/And to anyone/At all!" The humor provides a counterpoint for the darkness just as the voices of the actors counterpoint their vocal melodies.
And this brings us to the cast. Burton made the decision to cast people without proper musical training to play the roles, wanting the actors to worry more about the emotions than the music. That doesn't mean the film ignores the importance of the songs. The cast all took extensive singing lessons to hit the difficult notes, and while not every one of them sounds like they could become professional singers, they all carry their parts with such conviction that the performances are exactly what Burton wanted. Leading the charge is Johnny Depp in the title role. I've seen Sweeney Todd on stage and, due to the nature of theater, the character is much more extroverted, playing out his revenge fantasies out loud for the audience to see. Depp goes the opposite route, giving us the most introspective and internal portrayal of Todd ever seen. It's a nice change of pace, after playing the kooky Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Carribean films, to play a character who spends so much time mulling in silence, only to explode with intense violence.
Helena Bonham Carter steals the show as Mrs. Lovett. Despite being a much more outgoing character than Sweeney Todd, she also has the most immediately memorable and funny songs. From "The Worst Pies In London" to "By The Sea," she is the gateway for the audience to enter the world of Sweeney Todd. Even as she cooks men into meat pies, she has a devil may care attitude that puts viewers at ease, and even lets them identify with her, despite her gruesome deeds. Alan Rickman appears as Judge Turpin, and while his role is significantly shortened from the stage version, he still has the kind of presence that makes you hold your breath when he's in the same room as Todd. And then you've got supporting actors like Timothy Spall and Sascha Baron Cohen who help round things out, making sure even the tertiary characters have personality.
Tim Burton is best known for his arresting visuals, from the bureaucratic afterlife of Beetlejuice to the gorgeous hedge sculptures of Edward Scissorhands and the wild architectural metropolis of Batman. His view of London during the Industrial Revolution is rank and dark. Sweeney Todd is the most stark film of his career, with pure black shadows contrasting against the powdery white of the characters' skins. But Sondheim's brilliant writing allows Burton to focus on the visuals while never losing sight of the narrative thrust. He creates a thrilling Gothic atmosphere in which Todd and Mrs. Lovett can play. And when Sweeney Todd takes another victim, Burton doesn't shy away from the gore, reveling in the modern day Grand Guignol. He never overplays his hand, keeping the audience on edge whenever Sweeney pulls out his razors.
Burton collaborated with Sondheim in condensing the material to work on film. This has resulted in the expulsion of several numbers, including the seemingly vital opening, "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," and "Johanna (Judge's Song)," which gives the audience more insight into the motivations of Judge Turpin. Burton also condensed several songs, such as "God, That's Good!" and "A Little Priest," whittling them down to their most essential elements. Surprisingly, almost all of the changes work perfectly, narrowing the focus down to Todd and his obsession. Also, in removing some of the melodies, Burton brings out the film-like nature of the underscore, which Sondheim himself says was heavily influenced by famed film composer Bernard Herrmann. While some great songs are gone, it's a new vision of Sweeney Todd that may infuriate purists, but will more than satisfy those with an open mind.
In truth, Sweeney Todd is Burton's best film since Ed Wood, and perhaps the best movie he's ever made. It contains all the hallmarks of his style while telling a tight and horrific tale of revenge. There's an incredible maturity in the telling, with the gore feeling like a necessary outpouring of emotion, rather than a mode of cheap titillation. Burton is confident, and working with the definitive master of American musical theater. It's stylish, it's beautiful, it's horrific, and it's undeniably great. I can't wait to see where Burton goes from here.

The Francis Howell School District (FHSD) is a busy place year-round, and not just during the school year. There are more than 2,000 employees in the District, and almost 20 percent of them work a 12-month schedule. "The District does not shut down over the summer," said FHSD Superintendent Dr. Mary Hendricks-Harris, "quite the contrary. Educating 18,000 students is a year-round, full-time job. In addition to preparing the high quality education our students deserve for 2017-18, we have also started working on our next five-year strategic plan, and our community will have the opportunity to be part of that process this fall."
Summer provides the opportunity to analyze end-of-year data, prepare for the new school year, and do all of the facilities work that can't be done when students are in school. Here is just a small sample of all of the many things that are happening in FHSD during the summer "break" –
Even though FHSD teachers are not in their classrooms, they are still working on professional development, lesson planning, research, and preparing for the start of the 2017-18 school year. Approximately 500 FHSD teachers are participating in professional development and collaboration time over the summer, including work in:

Japan Mayor's Sex-Slave Comments Provoke Neighbors
A Japanese local leader's defense of the use of Chinese and Korean sex slaves to service Japanese soldiers during World War II as a "necessary" part of the war effort has drawn angry responses from Beijing and Seoul, aggravating tensions in the region that were already high after a series of earlier provocations.
"We are shocked and indignant at the Japanese politician's remarks, as they flagrantly challenge historical justice and the conscious of mankind," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said a regular press briefing in Beijing on Tuesday. "How Japan treats its past will decide its future."
Mr. Hong was responding to comments by Toru Hashimoto, the outspoken mayor of Osaka, who told reporters on Monday that the taking of sex slaves--euphemistically referred in Japan as "comfort women"--was justifiable. "Anyone can understand that the system of comfort women was necessary to provide respite for a group of high-strung, rough and tumble crowd of men braving their lives under a storm of bullets," Mr. Hashimoto said, adding that apart from moral considerations "back then it was a necessary system to maintain military discipline."
South Korea's foreign ministry also slammed Mr. Hashimoto on Tuesday.
"It was a totally senseless remark. I doubted my ears. It is an insult against the dignity of women. I really hope that he [Mr. Hashimoto] has the courage to face up to past history and admit wrongdoings instead of trying to whitewash them," an official at the spokesman's office for the South Korean foreign ministry said.
The Imperial Japanese Army abducted tens of thousands of Chinese, Korean and Filipino women and coerced them into working in military brothels during the war, according to the view widely held by historians, setting the stage for decades of demands for apologies and compensation. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has apologized for the system in the past, though comments defending the system from others like Mr. Hashimoto have kept the wound from closing.
The issue flared up last year after Toyko-based camera maker Nikon announced that it was canceling a photo exhibit on comfort women by South Korean photographer Ahn Se-hong after Japanese Internet users described the exhibit as a "betrayal" of Japan. A Japanese court later ordered Nikon to go ahead with the exhibit.
Mr. Hashimoto's comments come barely a week after Mr. Abe ruffled regional feathers by refusing to use the word "invasion" in discussing Japan's wartime aggression and by allowing key members of his Cabinet to visit the controversial Yasukuni Shrine, which honors World War II leaders convinced of war crimes in addition to other war dead.
Chinese social media users, already riled up by an ongoing territorial dispute with Japan over the islands known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan, were incensed by Mr. Hashimoto's comments.
"If our Celestial army ever conquers Japan, they should force his mother, his wife, his daughter and all the other female members of his family to be comfort women. Force him to be a comfort woman. See how great he feels about it then," wrote one user of the Twitter-like Sina Weibo microblogging site.

Snapshots from Sweden: Heberleins, a Grocery Store with Soul and a Whole Lot of Cured Meat
From June 5 to June 11, I visited Western and Southern Sweden on a trip sponsored by Visit Sweden, West Sweden Tourist Board, Skåne Tourist Board, and Volvo as part of their CAR + VACATION contest. Here's a look at something I ate during my trip.
On the outside wall of Heberleins under their windows decorated with red checkered curtains reads, "matbutiken med känsla," or "grocery store with soul." And that's what it looks like at first glance: a humble, just large enough, well-stocked mom-and-pop grocery store with produce, dry and canned goods, beverages, dairy products, the requisite wall of loose candy bins...
...Oh, and a long deli counter stuffed with sausages, hams, various cold cuts and cured meats, and more. Yup, that's the ticket.
Heberleins dates back to 1932 when Hilmer Heberlein, son of a German immigrant, bought property in Förslöv, still the site of the store today, and opened a butcher shop there in 1937. What started off as a butchering business grew to include making sausages and other processed meats. In 1961, the business changed hands to Hilmer's son Gert and Gert's wife, Gunnel; 28 years later in 1989, their daughter, Marie, and son, Jonas, took over the business. In 1998 they opened a new production facility to make their sausages, hams, patés, and other meat products.
Today, Jonas is in charge of the store, while Marie and her husband* are on the meat production side of the business. (You can read more Heberleins history at forslovsocken.se.)
During the holidays people from all over Sweden visit Herberleins for their meat products made only from beef, pork, and veal from Swedish farms, with no blood, plasma, dyes, or chemicals. Heberleins smoke their meat with beech sawdust, alder chips, and juniper. The results have won awards from the Gastronomiska Akademien and Swedish food magazine Gourmet. Although they do sell some products through wholesalers, to get the full line you have to visit the store. Besides, it's more fun that way; you can ask to taste different things. And with the help of Marie and her daughter Lina, I tasted many, many meat-based things.
One of their best sellers is their prune-stuffed, honey-glazed pork brisket. It's like pork candy—fatty, meaty candy. Something this world could use more of.
I also got a taste of, according to Lina, "the best recipe of meatballs in the world," a recipe that belonged to Lina's grandfather. With my only point of comparison being IKEA, I'd say Heberleins' slightly sweet and peppery köttbullar were about a hundred times meatier than IKEA's version. I think that's meatball success.
Other highlights were spiced chopped minced veal gelatin loaf (good on sandwiches with beet, suggested Lina), tomato basil-stuffed ham, smoked pork sausage with cloudberry sauce (crème fraiche + cloudberries = a mellow, sweet and creamy sauce that goes very well with meat), and spickeskinka, dry salted ham that's a specialty in Skåne ("Our answer to Parma ham," said Lina).
Heberleins also does a mean catering business with platters of cold cuts, cheeses, salads, sandwiches, pates, and roasted meats for all occasions. A party replete with Heberleins meat? Yes, that is a good idea.
If I ever make it back to Skåne, you bet I'll be back at Heberleins for meat logs, slices, and chunks, all served by friendly faces.
