Almost every child's school year starts out with the promise of success.
And after a year of labour strife in and out of the classroom, teachers and officials within the school district are sharing that same sense of optimism.
Coquitlam Teachers' Association president Teresa Grandinetti suggested teachers are glad to start the year off without any job action.
"I think they're hoping for a year where they can enjoy their classroom, which they were doing last year, but without that political piece that was always there," she told The NOW. "It adds a level of stress."
Just as the 2011-12 school year was wrapping up in June, the teachers' union and the province reached a deal that would end the nearly year-long labour dispute.
The agreement is set to expire at the end of the 2012-13 school year, after the next provincial election.
Grandinetti said the union is looking forward to a change in government when the next contract is negotiated.
While the contract is expected to bring peace to the classrooms, it still might not be business as usual.
As part of the dispute, teachers opted out of filling out report cards until instructed to by the Labour Relations Board, while the union voted in favour of withdrawing from extracurricular activities like sports and grad activities last spring.
The withdrawal was a direct reaction to Bill 22, which was legislation that imposed a cooling-off period between the teachers and the employer.
Report cards will handed out, but Grandinetti said resuming involvement in extracurricular activities would remain an individual decision, noting the union isn't sending a directive to members on what they should or shouldn't do.
"I think people will just make their own personal decisions," she said, adding parents don't need to worry about approaching teachers regarding their child's progress.
Though many teachers did withdraw from extracurricular activities, some chose to keep on volunteering.
Centennial Secondary teacher and coach Larry Moro was one of the teachers who kept on coaching.
He's also hoping the atmosphere around schools this year will get back to normal, even though he acknowledged some of the issues surrounding the teachers' contract dispute haven't gone away.
"Last year wasn't fun for anybody," he said.
Moro indicated some teachers will return to the coaching ranks, but others may decide to choose something else, or not volunteer at all. He said he supports either position.
"It's volunteer work. No one can tell you. You have to do it," Moro said.
"The nature of last year caused some people to think whether they wanted to do it or not, so it wouldn't surprise me if we had some people choose not to come back to coach - that's alright."
Local politicians are also optimistic this year will look different than the last.
School District 43 board chair Melissa Hyndes suggested there is still a lot of strife between both sides in the dispute, but believes the kids will be the focus and teachers will return to the work they've always done. "We anticipate the school year will be undisrupted," she said.
Hyndes said the turmoil was not only disruptive to students' learning, but it added stress to parents and families, especially around issues of childcare.
In March, teachers walked off the job for three days, sending some parents scrambling for childcare options.
Hyndes said having a new contract is reassuring for Tri-Cities families, while the board is now looking forward to moving ahead with district initiatives like the personalized learning agenda.

I thought twice about posting here again, but I have a very dedicated purpose for doing so.
In the past I have flirted with the idea of a "doomplex". This is a cohousing-like arrangement in which more than one family unit shares a doomstead. In my case, it would require the other party to establish a presence on site in advance of me being able to go there. I would be spending most of the money in exchange for them putting in most of the sweat equity and suffering the isolation of withdrawing into the boonies. Together I figure the total would be greater than the sum of its parts. I've now decided to see what kind of people (if any) may be attracted to this arrangement. More details are in my blog post on the subject.
I'm sure that posting here will unleash a flood of ad hominems, but I know that there are many lurkers here who have a more level-headed personality. It's people like that I'm trying to reach.
I may respond in this thread to reasonable questions that are not too personally identifiable in nature, however, I'd prefer to open up private dialogues with individual parties where we can build trust and let go of the pseudonyms and the avatars.

The issue of having to configure ChannelSet definitions in the Flex client in order to properly communicate with the Spring BlazeDS Integration configured remoting destinations has come up several times now, so I wanted to provide some clarification for reference until such time that we can add something similar to the project documentation.
As I've mentioned before, explicit channel definition is a requirement when using dynamic destinations (meaning any destination that is added programmatically and not defined in the BlazeDS services-config.xml, i.e. the destinations created by the FlexRemotingServiceExporter):
The only way you don't have to explicitly define the ChannelSet on the client is if
a) you are using explicitly defined destinations in services-config.xml (i.e, not dynamic destinations) AND you compile your flex client against that file
b) your destination is using the application-wide default channel AND you compile your flex client against that file
Even if you weren't using dynamically created destinations it is debatable whether it is a good idea to ever compile your client against services-config.xml, thus coupling your client to your server configuration. It is often desirable to keep your flex client and your server side code as two distinct modules, but compiling against services-config.xml blurs the lines between those modules.
I personally feel it is cleaner to keep the client-side configuration of ChannelSets explicitly contained within the client module. An excellent way to do this without having to hard-code the URLs in your client code is to use an ActionScript DI framework such as Spring Actionscript (formerly known as Prana).
A nice step-by-step example of using Spring ActionScript for this can be found here:
If you choose to go the route of compiling your client against services-config.xml, note that you can at least keep the URL information out of the client code by using ServerConfig.getChannel as described in the referenced BlazeDS documentation.

A Walnut Creek man has been charged in connection with the Nov. 7, 2011 car crash that claimed the lives of two Danville women. John Peder Harris, 32, was charged with two felony counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, according to the county District Attorney's Office.

We have absolute sympathy for the family that lost two loved ones that day. However, please remove all those signs, flowers, candles, etc near the accident scene, as it is actually a distraction to drivers who end up looking at all those things, rather than the road, and we do not want that to lead to any other horrible accidents. The road site vigil is very dangerous, and it is time to remove the flowers and signs before it leads to more accidents.
Posted by Mike, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Jan 20, 2012 at 10:55 am
To me, the sign, flowers and candles are a powerful reminder for all to drive safely.

"Investigation by the Danville Police Department revealed that Harris drove his vehicle with a known medical condition."
I'm curious--has anyone reported what the known medical condition is?
Posted by Danville resident Sycamore Valley Road, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Jan 20, 2012 at 1:48 pm
While I also understand its important to remember those who lost their lives, it is time for the flowers and candles to go. It is a distraction and there have been enough accidents on this road, I am sure the family wouldn't want anymore loss of life. I don't know the women who died, but I send my heart felt condolences to their families, as well as to the young man who caused this accident. I can't imagine how awful he must feel as well.
Posted by Michael, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Jan 20, 2012 at 1:56 pm
In response to Neighbor's remarks above: I believe that the memorial is a powerful reminder of the dangers of this intersection. The notion that the memorial represents a danger is preposterous, as I believe that licensed drivers are quite adept at processing more than one thing at a time. (i.e. looking at the road)
To request it be removed shows callous disregard for the loved ones of those who have perished at this intersection.
Posted by Neighbor, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Jan 20, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Michael: I feel horrible for the family, and can not imagine their pain and sorrow. However, I have a lot of experience in the area of accident reconstruction and human factors, and the signs, candles, memorial items do create a dangerous distraction that could lead to more accidents. From a physics standpoint, often a matter of a second separates an accident from a non-accident,and even a minor distraction from the application of the brakes and required stopping distance based on weight and velocity, makes a difference. You know the signs and candles are there, so your brain does not over process it when you drive by it now. However, for those on the road who have not driven by it before, it tends to occupy your attention, and distract you from complete focus on the road and objects around you. The reason teens, especially male teens, pay so much more in insurance than older, experienced drivers, is because from an actuary standpoint data shows they are more often distracted, and more likely to be in an accident.
A safer, better way for the family to keep their memories safe, and prevent future accidents, is to go talk to the high schools, run a memorial in the paper, create a web site, but please remove those items from the road before another family has to go through the pain you are suffering.
Posted by Sympathetic, a resident of the Blackhawk neighborhood, on Jan 20, 2012 at 4:04 pm
While I understand the need to have some sort of Memorial, I also feel it creates a distraction to drivers.
Last weekend a woman was tending to the flowers & candles while sitting VERY close to the curb - putting herself in the line of danger.
Posted by Sharon, a resident of the San Ramon neighborhood, on Jan 21, 2012 at 7:37 am
Medical conditions that impair driving are mandated to be reported by the diagnosing physician to the department of health services, which notifies the DMV. The DMV has the power to revoke the license, require proof that the condition is under control, or call the person in for an evaluation. I wonder if these steps were taken with the driver, and if not, if the physician will also be held responsible.
What a horrible and senseless tragedy. My heart goes out to all involved.
Posted by sponge bob roundpants, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Jan 21, 2012 at 8:10 am
powerful reminder to drive safely? are you serious? You're getting behind the wheel of a 3 ton SUV and going out on the freeway doing 70 MPH with thousands others (some texting, some eating, some putting on makeup, some on the phone, etc etc), and you don't recognize the inherent risk?
Go buy a bike if you need to be reminded; but please, for everyone's sake, don't get behind the wheel of a car.
And remove the memorial. It's out of context, on the roadway, and it causes a distraction - just like a phone.

At the trial for war crimes committed in Sarajevo, a prosecution witness said that the defendant, Goran Saric, told a soldier to take the people from Nahorevo and kill them.
Witness Abid Pandzic, resident of the Sarajevo neighbourhood of Nahorevo, said that in the summer of 1992 he was ordered by the Bosnian Serb forces to leave his home and gather together with other Bosniaks from the area at the nearby hill.
"A soldier named Zorka told us they were waiting for Saric to see what they should do with us. Saric came soon afterwards and briefly said: 'Take them down two by two and kill them.' However, Zorka then told us that if we wanted co-existence, we should return to our homes, which we did," said Pandzic.
He added that, on the next day, together with other Bosniak men from Nahorevo, he was taken to the building of the psychiatric hospital Jagomir, where he saw Saric again.
Goran Saric is charged, as head of the police station in the Serb municipality Centre in Sarajevo, with taking part in the attack on Bosniak and Bosnian Croat civilians in Nahorevo, Poljine and other Sarajevo settlements.
According to the indictment, he ordered all men from Nahorevo to come to the community centre on June 19, 1992, after which around 100 Bosniaks were taken from there and imprisoned in the Jagomir hospital building.
On the same day, it was said, Saric ordered the rest of the non-Serb population to surrender, and around 200 women, children and elderly were taken by force to the territory controlled by the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Witness Abid Pandzic said that the men in the building of the Jagomir hospital were put into three or four rooms, and that they were stripped of money, jewellery and documents. He said that later in front of the hospital, Saric was separating people into groups.
"Saric was deciding who would go to Vogosca, and who to Pale. He was standing in front of the building while we were getting into a line. I was put into the group for Vogosca and placed into the bunker next to the Sonja tavern. I was taken from there to be a human shield and to dig trenches," said Abid Pandzic.
In the over nine months that he spent in the detention camp in Vogosca, the witness said that he saw the defendant once or twice.
Witness Mesur Pandzic was also examined at Monday's hearing and said that he was ordered to the bunker in Vogosca from the building of the Jagomir hospital, where he was being held in the summer of 1992.
"Saric told us to go to the Bunker at Sonja's and 28 of us were taken there. I know that three men stayed behind in the hospital building, and their bodies were later found and identified at Skakavac," said Mensur Pandzic.
The trial is scheduled to resume on June 18.

Dog Travels 6,800 Miles Hoping For New Home
Abandoned in Egypt, Gordy is now up for adoption in Atlanta, thanks to resale shop owner in Avondale Estates.
The ancient Egyptians worshipped cats and sometimes would mummify deceased pet dogs, burying them with their owners, or on occasion giving them their own individual coffins. Modern Egypt isn't quite so attentive to man's best friend. In a country of around 80 million there are only a handful of animal rescue organizations and the government is pro-poisoning of street dogs as a means of controlling the population. Gordy is a 4-year old Egyptian street dog who has, happily, escaped that fate. He was abandoned in Cairo this fall and spent five days patiently waiting in the same spot downtown where he was dumped. Every day he carefully watched everyone who came by, looking for his former family to come back and get him. Fed on occasion by …

Gordy is still looking for his forever home! He is a sweet teddy bear who would do great in a home with another dog and a family wanting to spoil him. He doesn't require a lot of exercise but LOVES the car and walks.   more ›

The Vedbod Tapes
"In the second half of the 1960's, someone known as Roland Keijser led a freedom-loving jazz quartet which was transformed after a couple of years into the "world music" ensemble arbete och Fritid (= Work and Play) – new members of the group were Bengt Berger and Kjell Westling. We went on tour together, and recorded a couple of albums in the early 1970's for the sonet label. later, the crew changed again ...
Yet Berger, Keijser and Westling kept on playing together in a number of different constellations in the ensuing years, and some of this work – or
play – has been immortalised in the form of phonograms. there is, however, a special recording that has been gathering dust for 35 years and which we now wish to present for a wider audience. We usually refer to this unique document as "the Vedbod tapes" (vedbod = woodshed). the circumstances are not crystal- clear, but the fact is that all of the music was recorded in a woodshed in south-west dalarna in 1977.
Throughout the years, we have on occasion talked about those strange days in the woods along the old road between saxdalen and sunnansjö. shouldn't we edit the tapes and release them? Maybe we should – but in which heap of old tapes do they lie a-mouldering?
The "archaeological digs" for the Vedbod tapes recently acquired a new urgency, and were further intensified after the sudden – too, too soon! – death in the autumn of 2010 of Kjell Westling. Yes – we had finally unearthed the tapes! the music, in general, sounded good. a little sound-technique polishing but no real editing was done to these findings, we kept the documentary approach preferring to keep too much rather than too little. Ah, this is how it could sound, once upon a time, in certain swedish realities.
Kjell is, not least, amazingly sharp on this occasion. above all, he rushes up and down his bass clarinet – but he also delights on an indian harmonium and a deep sweden fiddle and expertly handles the sparks flying from a chinese descant souna (= shawm).
Bengt had just returned from an inspiring sojourn in ghana. His earlier years, learning in india, are as ever in his spinal marrow whether he plays mridangam or has fun with his jazz set – and here traces of west african influences are found. as ever: open for any whims whatsoever as long as it swings.
For my part, i was at the time close to taking a break from music. I had moved out into the country, and a year earlier sawed my left hand badly. a quiet life in the woods beckoned ...
But what is one to do when good friends call by, thirsting to play? I blew as well as i could – mostly soprano sax, but also clarinet, souna, Bb cornet and bamboo flute – and knocked out a few crooked messages on the donno, the armpit talking drum.
What do we play? apparently free from the heart, memory and imagination. Mostly collective improvisations. But also a couple of ornette Coleman tunes, some popular songs, the odd polska, waltz and halling, a few tango bars ... But, above all, sundry lengthy chunks of unidentifiable inventions, the names of which are known only to the woodshed."
Roland Keijser, Uppsala 2012

Collapse of the Standard of Living in the USA Studies Reveal Declining Living Standards and Increasing Anger
by Hiram Lee
Global Research
April 24, 2010
A series of recent studies conducted by the Pew Research Center shed new light on the scope of the economic crisis in the US and the level of hostility the majority of the American population holds for the US government.
Released in March, before the passage of the Obama administration's health care legislation, a survey entitled "Health Care Reform—Can't Live With It, or Without It" indicates that 92 percent of Americans give the national economy a negative rating. No fewer than 70 percent of the respondents report having suffered job-related and financial problems in the past year, an increase from 59 percent the year before. Fifty-four percent report someone in their home has been without a job and looking for work in the past year, up from 39 percent in 2009.
The poll saw an aggravation of conditions in every area of economic life studied the year before. Increasing numbers of people are reporting difficulty receiving or affording medical care (26 percent) or paying their rent or mortgage payments (24 percent). More Americans faced problems with collections and credit agencies (21 percent), or had mortgages, loans or credit card applications denied (19 percent).

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 can be share around a bit premature, but it shows that some improvement has not released hurry.
The interface has improved, with a large clearer tabs and spaces from the previous edition. However, behind the intelligent design have many sub-groups that are sometimes difficult to navigate.

Cesar Valadez acquired in Duke trade
The Pirates have acquired right-hand pitcher Cesar Valdez from the Arizona Diamondbacks for the player to be named later in the Zach Duke trade.
In nine games with the Backs (20 innings) during the 2010 season, Valdez allowed 19 runs (17 earned) while walking 10 and striking out 13.
"It's a right-hander with heavy sink," Huntington said of Valdez. "He gets a lot of groundballs. He's going to mix-and-match. He's going to hit his spots. He's a guy that we feel can help maybe out of the bottom of the rotation or use as a long man. He's a guy to add to our depth and our competition to make our club."

Some things should just be left alone. The original was great. The sequels......not so much. As a lover of all things scary, i'll watch it but will prob end up disappointed too.

Really good movie!! I enjoyed it more than the original. I'll buy it on bluray!

Wow! This sounds insane, Bill! So stoked for this one. As for a script? I need to get my butt and gear and make this a bloody reality! :) Once again, man, thanks for checking out my post and the kind words, makes it all worth while.

Adorable sled dogs alert. Today marked the ceremonial kick-off party for the "Last Great Race," or the Iditarod, Alaska's annual sled dog race. The real race starts tomorrow, but for now we'll have to wait with this picture of a dog adorably licking four-time champion Martin Buser's face.
Probably one of the last sporting events not extensively broadcast on 100 different channels and/or pay-per-view in the U.S., the annual race will kick off tomorrow in Willow, Alaska boasting over 60 teams of sled dogs racing across an over 1,000 mile trail in the Alaskan wilderness. The race itself only dates back to 1973, but people in Alaska were travelling the Iditarod trail long before there was an organized competition.
There are actually two different courses Iditarod organizers can choose from; a southern route and a northern route. This year the race will use the southern option, which includes more check points for food and water, but is considered the more difficult of the two because it's longer and spends more time travelling across the state's icy rivers.
Last year, the race was won by its youngest "musher" ever, 25-year-old Dallas Seavey. He'll have to fight off Buser and two other four-time champions if he hopes to repeat. He'll also have to deal with frigid temperatures and a gruelling marathon of a course through some of America's most barren, open, frozen terrain. But, y'know, that's no big deal for these guys. (It's totally a big deal for these guys.) Mush on, puppies.

After an extended illness, Tweety made his trip heaven on the evening of Feb. 24th 2013. He graduated from Douglas High School, and then began working at the Douglas Smelter until its closing. Following the smelter he was employed at the Red Barn Restaurant. He soon found a love of cooking and became the head cook. Closer to the end of his life he worked at Wal-Mart.
Tweety is preceded in death by his parents; Albert and Amelia Ybarra, mother in-law Grace Rawlins, daughter Elizabeth "Lisa" Ybarra, brother in-law Richard Puzzi Sr.
Tweety will be sorely missed by all who had the good fortune to know him. He loved watching every Nascar race, spending time with his grandchildren, gardening, and working with carpentry.
Services will be held at Immaculate Conception Church on March 7, 2013 at 10:30 a.m.
A celebration of Tweety's life will follow the services at the Douglas American Legion.

Exact Stretch Crop Pants
These crop pants look great, like how they fit, and the sand color coordinates with all colors of tops. The color is a bit darker than shown more of a sand color and that is just what I wanted. Would recommend this product to all.
May 16, 2013
love this item
Great item! Very comfotable and cute!! Would get every color available!!
May 16, 2013
Great pants!
What's not to love about the exact stretch pants and this cropped style did not dissapoint!
May 9, 2013
A little different, but...
Still fabulous. They don't quite fit as snuggly as the exact stretch bootcut. I was worried that with my wide hips and tiny calves I'd look weird in these, but due to the little flare at the cuffs, they are great! Nice length. I'd love if they were a bit more fitted, though, particularly in the thighs and below the butt.
April 29, 2013
Love these pants!
I was looking for pants to wear in the summer and these fit the bill. The material is stretchy and light. I am normally a size 4 in TL pants and these are true to size. I really like the fit on me, it's fitted but not tight, which is perfect. I originally got it in sand color and went back to get the one in black too!
April 26, 2013
Love these pants
I've been looking for a skinny, dressy black pant for some time. These aren't pants, but for capris, they work! I wish the bottom hem was a bit more snug rather than flared, but other than that, these are a great buy. Very flattering.
April 24, 2013
Great Fit
I loved the fit! The Exact Stretch always fits me the best. I'm on the curvy side, and it hugs everywhere just right!
April 24, 2013
Great pants
Great pants - impressed with the fit and quality. Def recommend. Very good staple in my closet.

How good do they have it over there? Well, even interns are making a whopping $67,000 a year.
But don't think you can just roll over there and get an internship. Facebook interns are the best of the best, with most of them being young engineers and designers.
So study hard in math and science – and don't forget to learn some programming and coding along the way!

Competing in the Chattahoochee River Wrestling Association, a combined 14 wrestlers from the two schools placed among the top six to win a medal.
In the team competition, LaGrange finished fourth out of 10 teams, while Callaway was 10th.
Nine LaGrange wrestlers placed in the tournament, with Qua Tucker earning the highest finish with a third-place result.
The tournament began on Friday and wrapped up on Saturday at LaGrange High.
"It was a tough tournament in which Alexander dominated," LaGrange coach Scooter Weathers said. "We knew going in that Alexander would be the team to beat. We wrestled them several times in the semifinals and wrestled them tough only to come up short. We are young in spots but we are competing very well. The guys are giving great effort."
Weathers said Tucker had a strong showing.
"Qua had a great tournament," Weathers said. "He lost a close match in the semis against Alexander. He really gets after it on the mat and is such a fun young man to coach."
Garrett Godby, Kane Shirey, Matt Watford, Jacob Butler and Logan Pitts each finished fourth for LaGrange.
Pitts was in the toughest weight class that included three-time state-champion Tyler Askey of Northgate.
One of Pitts' wins was against number two seed Woodrow Kavanaugh.
"For Logan to finish fourth, that is great," Weathers said.
Kyler Hall, Times Morgan and Corey Morgan each placed fifth for LaGrange.
"Corey is still learning and is a great young man who is fun to coach," Weathers said. "All he wants to do is win and get better. He is going to have a bright future in wrestling."
For Callaway, the top finisher was Delvron Bledsoe, who made it to championship match before falling short.
Brandon Sutton added a fourth-place finish, Clayton Vaught was fifth, and Sam Moseley and Dustin Holmes each finished sixth.
The top wrestler at the tournament was Askey, who has never lost a match to a Georgia wrestler.
"He is the best wrestler I have seen in Georgia in a long time," Weathers said. "He is definitely a special wrestler. He is one that will wrestle at a big-time school like Penn State, Iowa or even Oklahoma. He is a great young man off the mat, but on the mat he is a dominant force."
Weathers said he's hoping to bump up the numbers for the CRWA tournament next year.
"We are going to open up the CRWA up to some more teams for next year like Whitewater, McIntosh, Fayette County, Sandy Creek, Pike County, and Central Phenix-City," Weathers said. "It is a great organization in which you pay one entry fee and get a varsity tournament and a JV tournament. We are wanting to get to 18 teams and keep it there. We have had several teams get out and have several teams want back in for next year."

Cushman & Wakefield Named Leasing Agent for 65 Challenger Road4 Apr, 2012, Ridgefield Park, NJ
Commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. has been named exclusive
leasing agent for 65 Challenger Road, a Class A office building in Ridgefield Park. Hartz
Mountain Industries owns the 167,000-square-foot property, which currently offers the
opportunity for a full-floor user to secure prominent building signage with high visibility
from the NJ Turnpike and Route 46.
Marc Trevisan, David DeMatteis and Slava Vaynberg of Cushman & Wakefield's East Rutherford, N.J. office, are heading the assignment. The team is marketing units from 6,900 to 34,000 square feet; 65 Challenger Road's floor plates include approximately 34,000 square feet. Hyundai American Shipping Agency currently anchors the property. The building includes five stories of corporate-quality space above three levels of parking. Its tenants enjoy New York City skyline and waterfront views, a newly renovated lobby, and an onsite café and security. The property sits at the confluence of Route 46, I-80 and the NJ Turnpike, offering two immediate points of access to the George Washington Bridge and a direct, 15-minute bus link to Manhattan. "65 Challenger Road is located next door to Samsung Electronics America, Inc.'s United States headquarters, which testifies to the appeal of this location," DeMatteis said. "Additionally, the amount of exposure that a tenant with signage on the building would receive is tremendous." The property neighbors a Hilton Garden Hotel. "With Hartz Mountain Industries as a landlord, tenants at 65 Challenger can expect nothing but the best accommodations and service," Trevisan said.

Survey Finds Americans' Positive Perceptions of Germany on the Rise
Enlarge image Germany and the United States (© picture-alliance/ZB/dpa-Report) More than half of all Americans have a positive view of Germany, citing shared common values as a key plank of German-American relations, according to a survey of US citizens released on April 17. And the feelings are mutual. Separate surveys show that Germans overwhelmingly approve of both President Barack Obama and his foreign policies.
The survey of Americans, conducted on behalf of the German Embassy in Washington by consulting firm Frank N. Magid Associates, Inc. of New York between December 15 and 29, 2011, consists of responses from 1,517 individuals ages 18 and over. The affirming views of the US role in world affairs from the German side come chiefly from Transatlantic Trends, an annual inquiry conducted by the German Marshall Fund, which measures public opinion through interviews of around 1,000 people in each country surveyed.
Americans' positive views of Germany
A total of 55 percent of respondents, who were based across the United States, said they had an "excellent" or "good" overall impression of Germany, up from 48 percent in 2009, when the previous survey was conducted by Magid. That is higher than at any point in time since 2002, when Magid began conducting the series of surveys on Americans' perceptions of Germany for the German Information Center USA, the Embassy's public diplomacy department.

(© picture-alliance / dpa) When it came to which countries share the most common values with the United States, Germany (53 percent) was the highest-ranking country where English is not the primary language, garnering fourth place after Canada (73 percent), Great Britain (69 percent) and Australia (56 percent).
A majority of respondents – 58 percent – moreover found that Germany plays an important role in international politics, up from 43 percent in 2009.
The same number of respondents – 58 percent – also agreed with the statement that Germany is "a major economic power." (Only 4 percent, by contrast, disagreed with this statement.)
As an important European ally, moreover, only Great Britain was ranked before Germany, which was also perceived as the country most likely to lead Europe out of the "euro crisis."
Enlarge image (© picture-alliance/dpa) A total of 56 percent of respondents believed Germany played a positive role in the United Nations, compared to 42 percent in 2009. Another 47 percent of respondents believed Germany promotes peace and democracy throughout the world.
The role of the German military in Afghanistan was positively perceived by 32 percent of respondents (compared to 23 percent in 2009), and 27 percent of respondents believed Germany played an important part in the stabilization of Afghanistan.
In terms of taking historic responsibility for the atrocities committed against the Jews of Europe during the Second World War, 44 percent of respondents believed that Germany had done a good job in this regard, compared to 14 percent who believe Germany had not done enough to make up for this part of its past.
Germany was also widely perceived by Americans as a high-tech country. When asked whether Germany is a high-tech country, 58 percent of respondents agreed, a dramatic increase over 2009 (48 percent) and 2008 (51 percent), when the last two in this series of surveys were conducted. And an equally respectable number of 54 percent of respondents even agreed that Germany is the world's leading country in research and technology.

Almost a third of Americans questioned for this survey claimed to have good knowledge about Germany – up from 28 percent in 2009. Close to a quarter said they had visited Germany (24 percent have visited Germany at least once). The main reason (61 percent) for these visits was tourism or vacation. Among those respondents who had visited Germany, 58 percent perceived Germany and the Germans more positively (in the 2011 survey), up from 51 percent in 2009.
Germans' positive views of America's foreign policy
While it has dropped somewhat from an apogee of 92 percent in 2009, Germans' approval of President Obama in 2011 remained staggeringly high, according to the German Marshall Fund's survey. Of Germans polled for Transatlantic Trends, 81 percent approved of the manner in which President Obama conducts US foreign policy. In addition, Germans exhibit a desire for US leadership in international affairs, according to the survey, with a full 60 percent of those questioned responding that a US-led foreign policy is a desirable one.
These favorable views of the American president from across the Atlantic are borne out by other polls as well, like the Pew Global Attitudes Project, which recorded an 88 percent confidence rating from Germans vis-à-vis President Obama. Of the 23 countries Pew polled, Germany had the highest confidence in the US president.

Perhaps some of the approval voiced from Germany for America's policies is explained by the fact that Germany and the US share similar concerns and goals on the world stage. From a policy perspective, Germany and the US cooperate on Afghanistan, a peaceful end to the nuclear standoff with Iran, the Arab-Israeli Conflict and a range of other political and economic issues.
And the congruence of interests pursued by America and Germany is underlined by the similar policy priorities held by citizens in each country. For instance, Transatlantic Trends found that in 2011, 76 and 75 percent of Americans and Germans, respectively, were concerned about Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon. In addition, while Libyans were struggling to overcome Qaddafi, the survey found that both Americans and Germans (at 66 and 71 percent, respectively) supported the eventual removal of the dictator.
Surely, differences abound between Americans and Germans; but mutual admiration, respect and common policy objectives, as is evident by these surveys, reiterates the strong bond that these two countries share.

Frequently Asked Questions / Types of Cancer / Leukemia / Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
Selina M. Luger, MD
Last Modified: September 22, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
One of my close friends has recently been diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. Is there a possibility of them being hospitalized from the disease?
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
CML or chronic myelogenous leukemia is often diagnosed when patients are found to have high white blood cell counts. The disease is characterized by an abnormality in the genes or DNA of the blood cells. Usually patients are diagnosed in the chronic phase and most of the treatment for chronic phase CML is given as an outpatient. There is usually no need for hospitalization. Depending on the age of your friend and on their response to the treatment chosen, there may be some discussion of bone marrow transplantation, and this would require hospitalization and be a quite complicated therapy. Fortunately, there have been some exciting new developments in our understanding of CML and its treatment and many patients are now being successfully treated without a bone marrow transplant.

Press Releases
"I am pleased that the more than 600,000 American citizens who reside in the District of Columbia will finally have a statue representing them in the U.S. Capitol. While the District deserves to have two statues in the Capitol, like the states, since its residents pay federal taxes and have fought and died in every American war, a statue depicting Frederick Douglass could not be a more apt representative for the people of D.C. Douglass fought for District residents to have self-government and Congressional representation, a fight our Caucus carries on today."

"Here we are, 134 days into the 113th Congress, without one vote on a jobs bill. Fifty-four days after the Senate passed its budget, we still haven't moved forward to the budget process with this do nothing agenda that does not reflect the priorities of the American people. It is an agenda that only the Republicans are interested in pursuing. So, you see a series of subterfuges, job evasions. Today's job evasion is that the Republicans have decided to vote on the Patient's Rights Repeal Act, their 37th attempt to repeal our country's landmark reform bill. That's 37 votes, 43 days, $52 million – $52.4 million – on an obvious evasion of our responsibility to work on the priorities of the American people."

"…[W]e believe there is simply no substitute for tough, comprehensive, uncompromising government support for legislation and fully-resourced law enforcement and administrative action… that both empowers workers and prevents more accidents from happening," write the lawmakers in the letter.

"First of all, it is our job to come here and act for the good of the American people. And right now the American people see that good as the creation of jobs. What is it, 134 days into this Congress? And the Republican majority has yet to put forth one bill, vote one bill out to create jobs, to have evasion. Here we are today with yet another one of their subterfuges: 'let's not talk about jobs. Let's use up time.' And that adds to – what has been up until now – $54 million dollars, 43, some days spent on this – the 37th effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. What we should be doing is what the Republicans have asked for: regular order, to go to the budget table, to reconcile the differences between the House and the Senate, so that we can put forth a product, a budget that creates jobs, that reduces the deficit, that strengthens the middle class..."

Personal Chef Recommendations
Posted 30 March 2006 - 09:54 AM
That said, I thought I would for his B-day get some personal chef services for him so he can take advantage when I'm out of here. Any thoughts? Who's good?
Posted 22 January 2007 - 10:42 AM
I'm looking for a personal chef to help me out with dinners for an approximate 2w period around the end of March in which I think it will be difficult for me to cook. I'm looking for somebody who can prepare fish-a-tarian items that are, generally, lower in fat/calories. Spicey, 'ethnic' foods are great. I'm thinking serving sizes for 2-4/night. Oh, and I live in MoCo.
My impression is that these folks generally come to your home and do the cooking for a week's worth of meals in one day in your kitchen, which works well for me. I've considered Dream Dinners (and its ilk). The problem there is that they rarely have enough recipes that meet my various requirements (e.g. the fishaterian thing is a real limiting factor), and I've never had the impression that the quality of food/recipes was very high. I'm not looking for somebody to prepare gourmet meals for me, but something a step up from what I would get at a Marriot-run cafeteria would be nice.
I know there is an association of professional chefs (or some such), but it's hard for me to get much of a sense of the people from that website, or even from their own websites. So, I was really hoping somebody here had personal experience to steer more towards (or away) from somebody.
Thanks for any advice.

Jeff Black might. Also Roberto Donna. Just speculating-- Jeff doesn't regularly cook at any of his own places anymore. And I think I have heard about Roberto doing this sort of thing in the past.I'm curious...Do any of the chefs from the local restaurant scene ever consider doing personal chef duties for extremely special occasions where money is (almost) no object?
And who?
Posted 21 February 2008 - 01:36 PM
Wasn't there an article in the WaPo a couple of years ago about Roberto doing this for a sizable sum of money?Jeff Black might. Also Roberto Donna. Just speculating-- Jeff doesn't regularly cook at any of his own places anymore. And I think I have heard about Roberto doing this sort of thing in the past.

I did the exact same thing a few months ago for my wife's birthday. I hired Eliza Gonzalez, who teaches most of the Mexican cooking classes at Sur La Table in Arlington. She put together a fantastic menu, including a variety of antojitos, soup, mole for the entree along with some sides, several fresh salsas, a dessert buffet, drinks, music and decoration. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, quantity and variety of food, not to mention how she takes care of it all, start to finish, including cleaning. She even had special dishes made for some youngsters who were with us. I can't recommend her highly enough. PM me if you'd like contact info.hmmm, no personal chef recommendations out there? I'm looking for either a personal chef or a small catering company to put together a nice meal for my wifes upcoming birthday. I'm having a small get together at our house for about 12 people and don't want anyone to have to think about cooking/cleaning. Awaiting a quote from 3Citron whose online menu seems interesting/appetizing but happy to receive recommendations from other folks.
Posted 03 March 2008 - 03:04 AM

Good Food Blog
Great British jelly
Posted at 12:02PM, 24 July 2008 by Jenni Muir - Food writerJelly is, apparently, back in fashion. Did it ever go out? M&S have always seemed to have jelly pots on the shelves. It was even one of the desserts allowed when people rediscovered the Atkins diet a few years back. But jelly is now also a favourite in trendy restaurants, where it sits neatly on modern British and gastropub menus, and lends itself to experimentation from molecular gastronomes.
It's not so stylish that we're likely to use jelly as table centrepieces, as the Victorians did, anytime soon. But one company has launched a bespoke jelly mould manufacturing service this month (prices start at ã300), and its work is used as focal points, to say the least. A jelly of St Paul's Cathedral. An airport with individual planes. London's Millennium Bridge. (I love the idea that Lord Foster would be sitting in his office saying, 'Humph. Call my bridge wobbly? I'll show you a wobbly bridge.') Heston Blumenthal is working with them on his next series, too.
jellies should wobble like a fat girl's bottom
When I was at cookery school, we were told by our otherwise very proper headmistress that jellies should wobble like a fat girl's bottom, and to this day I push the plate back and forth a bit when anything gelled arrives at the table. The Victorians liked the way their jelly centrepieces wobbled whenever someone knocked against the table during dinner parties.
But for me the main appeal is that jellies are so light and refreshing, they round off a meal neatly. And they can be as simple or as complex as you want, made with ready-prepared juices and smoothies, cordials or wine, or from scratch with fresh fruit.
Earlier this year I had a load of Sicilian blood oranges that needed using and eventually settled on a jellied terrine of the sliced fruit, layered with flecks of fresh mint and set with blood orange juice. Served very cold, it was hard to believe it was low calorie. Another favourite jelly combination of mine is pink grapefruit and basil. If I want to make a quick one for red berries, I prefer pomegranate juice to cranberry. What's your favourite?
25 July 2008, 1:09PM
My dad would always make me Orange jelly when I was ill, it is still my favorite to this day. I have a few receipes for Adult jellies containing good quantities of Alcohol which i will be trying out this summer, the elderberry and sparkling wine one sticks out at the moment.

Our Company
We've always believed in giving our customers the best service.
When we introduced the first cash rewards credit card in 1986, we committed ourselves to meeting the needs of our cardmembers with the best possible customer service - and we still stand by that commitment today. We're building our company by listening to consumers and developing products and programs that help them get the most for their money. Beyond credit cards, our banking and payments businesses offer rewarding products backed by that same commitment to high-quality service that we have had from the start.
Our banking business includes Discover-card branded credit cards, CDs, money market and savings accounts, home loans, personal loans and student loans.
