The 2010 World Expo may be coming to a close but the ideas it has provided over the past six months are "invaluable" to tackling some of today's biggest challenges, including rapid urbanization, climate change and sustainable development, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in Shanghai on Sunday.
More than 70 million people from dozens of countries visited the Expo, the first to be organized by a city in a developing country. Mr. Ban said its theme – "Better City, Better Life" – was very timely, noting that more than half of the world's people currently live in cities, and that percentage will continue to grow.
"Thanks to this Expo, millions of people learned about possibilities for making our cities healthier and safer – cities that better integrate nature and technology, cities that offer their citizens cleaner air and water, and better lives all around," he stated at the Expo's Summit Forum.
It offers "hope for tackling the growing challenges of our age of urbanization," he added.
The Secretary-General noted that cities remain powerful draws for jobs and economic opportunity, with people flocking to them in hopes of finding a better life. At the same time, today's cities are under enormous pressure, becoming less and less able to cope with the growing number of people moving into them.
Billions of people live in life-threatening conditions, he said, trapped in slums from which they cannot hope to escape, lacking basic amenities from fresh water and sanitation to basic shelter.
"The Shanghai Expo has given us invaluable ideas for tackling these challenges," stated Mr. Ban.
"We have seen innovations in construction and new uses of natural resources. We have been reminded of what architects and builders can do to cut energy and water use. We more fully appreciate the importance of mass transit systems. And we understand that special attention must be given to the unique problems of the world's slums."
He expressed hope that, in all this, China will be an "urban pioneer," noting that the country is already a frontrunner in addressing the urban slum challenge and in embracing green technologies, renewable energy sources and green business models.
Mr. Ban arrived in Shanghai yesterday, and met with the Foreign Minister of China, Yang Jiechi, with whom he discussed a number of issues, including further expanding China-UN cooperation, climate change, non-proliferation, as well as the situations in the Korean peninsula, Myanmar and Sudan. They plan to continue their discussion in the capital, Beijing, in the coming days.
From Shanghai, the Secretary-General traveled to Nanjing, where he received an honorary doctorate from one of the world's oldest centres of learning.
"By honouring me, you are recognizing the critical role of the UN in shaping our modern world, a world that increasingly looks to China," he told the gathering at Nanjing University.
Noting that the world's most populous country is its fastest growing economy, Mr. Ban said that the big question is how to ensure that this growth is sustainable.
"You have become the world's largest manufacturer and exporter. But you are also the world's greatest emitter of greenhouse gases, the price of feeding the consumption habits of people in developed countries," he said.
Also, while China is the fastest growing market for cars in the world, it lays claim to seven of the world's ten most polluted cities. Ten years of close regulation have seen the country's forests start to recover, but its paper mills and furniture makers contribute to the loss of forests in Russia, Indonesia and Brazil.
At the same time, China is not only fighting poverty, but it is beginning to fight the side-effects of prosperity – climate change and environmental degradation, said Mr. Ban.
China has set a target of controlling biodiversity loss by 2020, backed by state funds. Its biodiversity action plan designates 35 priority conservation areas, covering 23 per cent of the country. Also, it invested over $34 billion last year in the low-carbon economy, more than any other nation. Three of the top 10 global wind turbine makers are in China and the country commands half the global solar market.
"These facts tell me that China is serious about sustainable development," said the Secretary-General. "Let China be the country to show the way ahead. Let China show the world how to live comfortably, in harmony with the environment and leaving none of its citizens behind."
China is the last leg of the Secretary-General's four-nation Asian tour, which also included visits to Thailand, Cambodia and Viet Nam.

Volkswagen scandal: The chief executive refuses to quit
The chief executive of Volkswagen (VW) has refused to resign despite an escalation of the emissions scandal following the VW's admission that 11 million of its vehicles have been fitted with a device designed to cheat emission tests
Berlin: The chief executive of Volkswagen (VW) has refused to resign despite an escalation of the emissions scandal following the VW's admission that 11 million of its vehicles have been fitted with a device designed to cheat emission tests.
Martin Winterkorn, chairman of board of director of the world's second largest car marker, said he was "endlessly sorry we betrayed the trust of customers".
"We are going to clarify the background unsparingly, and everything is being put on the table as quickly, thoroughly and transparently as possible," the Guardian quoted Winterkorn as saying.
VW on Tuesday denied that Winterkorn will leave as chief executive this Friday, to be replaced by Matthias Müller, the chairman of its sister company Porsche.
He spoke after the German company revealed the potential financial liabilities for the first time. VW is putting aside 4.7 billion euros to deal with the potential costs of the crisis, prompting a further 20 percent fall in its share price.
Shares of other car manufacturers have also fallen heavily, with Peugeot down seven percent, BMW down five percent and Daimler, the owner of Mercedes-Benz, also down five percent.
The VW financial update was issued on Tuesday after its US chief said the company had "totally screwed up" over the emissions scandal. Michael Horn admitted on Monday in New York that VW had been dishonest with regulators and the public.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, "This is about showing complete transparency, clearing up the entire case."
"The transport minister is in close contact with the company, and I hope that the facts will be put on the table as quickly as possible," Markel said.
VW could face a fine of up to $18 billion, as well as criminal charges for its executives and legal action from customers and shareholders amid claims in the US that it used a device to falsify emissions data.
The device recognises when the car is being tested and immediately cuts emissions to a level much lower than normal and which would be unsustainable under normal driving conditions.
Britain and France called for a Europe-wide investigation into diesel cars to reassure the public.

Eta..Omg! This homework situation is outta control!
- 226 Replies
Eta: I'm a little shocked at the amount of people who think that 7 pages of homework a night plus spelling words plus reading a book every day is normal for a first grader. It seems like way too much and brain overkill to me.
Eta 2: I totally forgot about sight words. She has a new set of those each week too.
Eta3: just to more specifically clarify this is the list of homework:
One packet is math drills. 50 problem addition and subtraction very night that I am suppose to time (4 mins) then grade. Questions unanswered are counted as wrong.
Two packets are reading stories. One packet for science, one for history. 2 stories per day...per packet...with 10 questions each (1 story and Q's on on side of the page 2nd story/Q's on back). Each story is 4 paragraphs of 5 sentences.
Another packet is a poetry packet. 4 different poems with a parent participation checklist... Have dd find all long vowels, short vowels, consonant blends, words that rhyme, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and words that are misspelled...they are the spelling words for the week and are to be corrected and written properly.
The last packet is a review packet for the pervious week's work.
Then write spelling words every night, read sight words every night, and read a book every night. These are not 5-10 minute books. Yesterday was disney's mulan.
This is every week since they returned from christmas break. Every Monday. All packets are due Friday. She isn't goofing off in class. She has never received a conduct mark. She has never missed a day of school, nor has she been tardy.
That's pretty standard actually. My son is in kindergarten. He has a word study that has him sort words and write them out in a notebook as well as 5 spelling words that he must write sentences with. Those two things are handed out on Monday and they are due back Friday. He has two worksheets to complete a night, one that focuses on printing, the other on math. He has a word ring to study sight words nightly and is expected to read at least 15 minutes a day.
I thought it seemed like a lot, but once we got into a routine, it really doesn't take longer than 30 minutes. Good luck! =)
wow, my DS is in first grade and he gets a spelling assignment sent home on Monday that is due Friday and occasionally a worksheet or two.
His school has said if you are spending more than 20 minutes a night on homework to notify the teacher.
yeah my older son had that much too!! i was shocked, but i guess thats the way it is now. at open house at the school, the teacher said that she expects the students and a parent to sit down and do homework for at least an hour a day!!! it was so good for my son though. he was a little behind before he was in her class and now he is right on target b/c she reallypushed him academically.
holy cow, that sounds like a lot! how long does it take her to do it? my 1st grader is homeschooled & the homework packet sounds like the same amount of work we do on an average school day. if it's taking longer than an hour, i would contact the teacher & see if that's her intent.
I think its fine, our kids are getting dumber and kids in other countries are getting smarter. Obviously we are doing something wrong here.
DS is in K4 and he gets homework packets sent home. its normal.

Some advice for anyone considering this pattern: do not attempt as a beginner! I started this pattern a couple of years ago with value fabric (thank goodness!), and ended up throwing it out!!! While the dress is beautiful and very comfy, the pattern instructions are CRAZY and make no sense. I ended up figuring most of it out on my own because the instructions were just so whack. (Apparently Butterick has a similar pattern that's easier to figure out... number 5031.)
But anyway, I think it turned out lovely regardless! I used a "fall knit" from Joann's (where I work) that was (and is still) 50% off, and a basic interlock knit for the contrast. Just a word to the wise... avoid Joann's stores on Black Friday because you may not make it out alive!
Excuse the rough look around the neckline... it still needs to be pressed.
Yeah. Gotta press that neckband.

Soles4Souls at Stamford Collegiate
Students at Stamford Collegiate's Rotary Interact Club in Niagara Falls recently launched a shoe drive through Soles4Souls International with the goal of donating hundreds of pairs of footwear to Haiti.

Students at Stamford Collegiate have soul.
The school's Rotary Interact Club recently launched a shoe drive through Soles4Souls International with the goal of donating hundreds of pairs of footwear to Haiti.
In the first two weeks of the campaign, more than 300 pairs have been collected from students and staff.
"Everybody has shoes laying around that we don't use any more," said 17-year-old Reileigh Zohren.
"Something as simple as donating them can actually affect another human being's life. For me, that's why I love doing this."
In many developing nations, walking is the primary mode of transportation.
Soles4Souls says millions of people are exposed to unsanitary conditions on a daily basis, conditions that can lead to sickness, even death.
Without shoes, children can't attend school and adults are unable to work.
"Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to make the effort," Zohren said Tuesday as she sorted through the donations.
"This is something we can all do."
Class-mate Garrick Phimister, also 17, agreed.
"This can really make a difference in someone's life and it's also nice to be able to keep unwanted items out of the landfills and putting them to good use."
Since 2006, Soles4Souls has collected and distributed 26 million pairs of shoes to 127 countries around the world.
Stamford hopes to add to the total by accepting donations until the end of February. The public is invited to drop off footwear at the school during regular school hours.
The shoe drive is one of a number of initiatives the school club is involved with.
"Our motto is service above self," said club co-president Nicole Brauch, 17. "We raise money throughout the year to help different charities, both locally and internationally."

Every Monday, adult superstar/OC girl Tasha Reign gives us her thoughts on life, sex, politics and everything in between. Today, Tasha weighs in on the porn conventions–it ain't all booth babes basking in front of fans. Enjoy!
By Tasha Reign
Last year, I was nominated as Feature Dance Newcomer of the Year at the Exotic Dance Awards–the industry's premier awards. It's not all about shimmying your cha-chas for leering guys, everyone. To truly make a career out of it, you have to sign up with a feature dance agency, a small circuit in and of itself. They represent girls, booking them to individual clubs and handling all the contracts and paperwork. Once a girl gets the gig, it's up to them to make it a recurring role–you have to not only put on good shows, but interact with the audience in a favorable manner and get along with the club's regular employees.
Seems easy, right? But you'd be surprised how many girls can't handle it. Not me.
I started traveling and performing these shows as a featured performer almost two years ago, and I haven't taken a break since, because I love it so much! About twice a month I go everywhere–the Midwest, the East Coast, the South, the West–to dance on stage, sign photos and DVD'S, and give private lap dances. I consider this a vacation–or at least the reward I get in return for making adult films. And it's a way to stay close to my roots: I was involved in hip-hop and jazz dancing while in elementary and middle school, and I started my adult career as a stripper at a club called Silver Reign in West Los Angeles (yep, my professional name is inspired from it).
I've got the routine down so I can continue to work in films during the week, but then get away on the weekends for dancing. Since I'm still in school and working making movies, I always make sure my agent makes the flights compatible with my class and shoot schedule. I'll pack my bags full of goodies: DVD's, 8×10 glossies, markers, posters and more. I also prepare for my dancing depending on where I'm going, custom-tailoring my song set and costumes to regional tastes. For instance, if I'm going to Pittsburgh, I'll be wearing the black-and-gold of the Steelers.
But I also like to put my own personal touch: My favorite routines involve cowboy, cheerleader, or military outfits; for music, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, or even Lenny Kravitz and Too Short. I'll bring cherries and whipped cream on stage and make a big mess all over myself–if I'm feeling really wild, I will bring candles and pour the hot wax all over my body. I ride people around, pull women on stage and really get in everyone's faces, literally and figuratively. Most importantly I always interact with the audience and make sure that they all know I love my job and that I'm there for their pleasure.
It wasn't always this easy. My first offer to dance outside of my home clubs was at the Gold Club Centerfolds in Sacramento. Although I had experience being a house dancer in many strip joints, I didn't realize what was involved for putting on a show–after all, the usual gig is about two shows a night at about four songs a set. Doesn't seem like much, right? But such a simple thing intimidated me. Why did the club want to fly me out there to dance for about 20 minutes a night on stage and hang out with fans? I realized that the clubs wanted to draw a crowd with my name. Unfortunately, when I started doing these shows I had not made a ton of movies, and I did not have a big name, so there was even more pressure for me to draw in crowds–the last thing a girl wants is an empty room.
I asked my agency if a girl could show me the ropes and explain how these shows and performances were supposed to look; they provided two ex-performers for me to dance with at another club, using their pole and D.J. when no one was yet in the facility. I took notes and watched them in action. The agency also recommended I have my own roadie to show me the ropes of the road. Archie has been in this niche of the adult business for over a decade and knows all the clubs, porn stars, club owners and tricks of the trade. I asked him what I should do to command everyone's attention, how I should go about doing it, what types of outfit should I wear and what music should I dance to. He watched my first shows with enthusiasm and gave me the harsh critiques I needed so that I could improve my performance and grow into the entertainer I am today.
On the day of my show, clubs usually provide me a green room to let me prepare for my shows. I always make it a point to meet the bouncers and managers–this is their turf, after all, and I'm just a grateful guest. I get into the mindset I'll need for the night. Sometimes, I'm just topless; other times, I'm fully nude. Sometimes, the audience wants to play games; other times, they just want to see you dance.
Putting on these shows is a way to keep your name out there, but it's also important to do them so that you can interact directly with the audience and fans that truly support your work. If they're willing to drive three hours just to come and watch me dance for 10 minutes with a potential signed picture from me, then that makes my whole trip worthwhile.

Follow your friends and catch a glimpse of what's happening around the world while creating the movie trailer of your life.
A billion dollar idea … Sharing a glmps on Instagram
- Details
- Category: Blog
Did you know that you can share a glmps on the popular photo sharing service Instagram? Since glmps captures a photo we can easily send that photo to the Instagram app with a click of a button. Here is how to do it:
- After capturing a glmps tap the Share Options menu and toggle the icon that looks like the capture button in the Instagram app. It's the third one on the top row next to the Twitter icon.
- After posting the glmps and it has completely uploaded a menu will popup prompting you to 'Open in "Instagram"'. Click this button or select the 'Open in…' option to select other services to share too such as Camera+ and Dropbox. You can post some pics like these passionhd ones. Note: This menu is required by the iOS SDK to launch apps from within glmps.
- After tapping 'Open in "Instagram"', glmps will be put into the background and the Instagram app will open with the photo from your glmps pre-loaded, cropped and ready for you to make it even more beautiful.

In Defense of the 100-Point Scoring System. Kind Of.
Want to get a serious wine lover's knickers in a twist? Just ask him what he thinks of the 100-point scoring system. Nothing is quite so controversial — and ubiquitous — as the 100-point scale. Popularized by Robert Parker, the World's Foremost Wine Critic or the Scourge of the Wine Industry, depending on whom you talk to, Parker had the clever idea to rate wines according to the 100-point system. This grading tool, familiar to anyone who's ever passed through the American school system, has guided many a wine shopper — and pissed off more wine professionals that you can imagine.
Look, I don't pay any attention to Parker points. I find the people who follow him slavishly a little off-putting. But my occasional annoyance at Parker and his acolytes is dwarfed by my chagrin at people who love nothing more than to complain about him. Why so much rage, you guys? It makes me make feel like I need to defend the 100-point system. So here's my attempt to refute the most popular anti-Parker arguments:
1. Wine is beautiful, magical, transcendent, something so special that it can not be reduced to a mere number. I love wine. I have had my share of magical experiences around great bottles that count among the happiest moments of my life. But for most of us, wine is an enjoyable beverage. The vast majority of consumers who don't know a ton about wine are looking for a good bottle that won't break the bank, and, every so often, a splurge that lives up to its price tag. If the 100-point scale system is helpful in those pursuits, who am I to judge? The world of wine is vast and diverse, and there's enough room for those of us who take it very seriously, and those of us who just want to have a good time. Imagine if the movie industry operated the same way. It would be like going around to people waiting in line to buy tickets to Eat, Pray, Love, telling them they are boors for seeing the movie just because their local critic gave it three-and-a-half stars, all while waving the latest issue of Cahiers du Cinéma in their face.
2. Robert Parker is evil. Therefore, the 100-point scoring system is evil. If I remember correctly from my 10th grade ethics class, this is what's called an ad hominem argument. Attacking the man instead of the issue at hand. If we only read books, watched movies, or embraced innovation and technology created by likeable people, the structure of our DNA would be undiscovered, the iPhone wouldn't exist, and our only entertainment would be an endless loop of Sandra Bullock movies on TBS. (Although don't get me wrong, I love Sandra Bullock.) This argument is illogical, annoying, and childish. Next.
3. I'm OK with assigning numerical scores to wine, but the 100-point scale is arbitrary. This is the most reasonable of all the arguments out there, even though I don't quite buy it. Yes, the 100-point scale is imperfect, and damned if I know the difference between a 91 point one and a 92 point one. There's a certain Scholastic "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" nature to a 100-point scale, but that arbitrariness is inherent in any grading or evaluation system. Does the fact that it's numerical annoy people? Or does 100 seem like too large a range, in which case does that make Jancis Robinson's 20-point system only 1/5th as stupid?
4. The 100-point-scoring system is the Worst Thing to Ever Happen to Wine in the United States, if not the WORLD. This is my favorite. We should be so lucky! I can think of plenty of things that are much worse for the wine industry. Insane wine mark ups at restaurants. The U.S.'s anti-consumer three-tier distribution system. French wine subsidies. Anti-alcohol crusaders. Confusing labeling laws. Shall I go on?
5. The 100-point system is the reflection of one man's tastes. This one is pretty accurate. It's no secret what kind of wines Robert Parker likes (big, bigger, and biggest), and that he's not one for subtlety. But I don't think that's a huge problem, and here's why. First, he's representative of the American palate overall. Yes, we eat too much artificially flavored, oversweetened crap that has wreaked havoc on our taste buds and makes us crave more flavor, more sweetness, more stimulation, more, more, more. But as Americans, we have access to a greater variety of good, intensely flavored food from around the world than pretty much anyone else in the universe. Inhabitants of even a moderately sized U.S. city can probably find some good Chinese, Mexican, Thai, Indian and BBQ within half an hour of their homes–not something you can say about the average European. (But if anyone can tell me about some great Vietnamese and soul food joints in Rennes, Turin, or Stuttgart, I'm all ears.) I'd argue that all of these cuisines can work well with bold flavors, so we're not morons for gravitating towards these big wines.
Second, the problem with Parker's palate isn't its existence, but its primacy. Since the 1980s, his palate has been the only one that's mattered, and the 100-point scale has been the dominant wine rating point of reference. His stamina and talent for self-promotion, among other characteristics, have kept him on top and made it tough for other voices, palates, and evaluation systems to emerge.
But this is America, gosh darn it. We don't wring our hands about the other guy's success. We tip our cap, come up with something better, and work our butts off to steal market share away from him. This is actually happening, albeit incrementally. Wine bloggers are gaining a little traction, although probably not as much as we'd like to think. Some folks are doing interesting stuff with wine badges. Wine retailers are working harder to educate their customers, writing their own shelf talkers instead of relying on Parker points, offering more tastings, and organizing their selections around what foods to match them with or their taste profiles. Olive Garden, the restaurant chain that sells more wine than any other in the U.S., lets patrons try wine for free and organizes its wines by flavor profile, with nary a Parker score in sight. Granted, I don't eat at the Olive Garden and this is a boring list, but it's well priced, with accessible wines that probably complement the food they serve.
These may be baby steps, but they're definitely steps. The quality and variety of wine available right now on the U.S. market in unparalleled. Is the 100-point scale the ideal way to get consumers to drink the best, and most varied, selection of wine out there? Of course not. But let's move on. Give the guy his due and come up with something better.

I have to admit that I score my wines. I don't feel like I follow the same numerical grades as the Parker system (who has now invented the 100+ score). But I do score them and it's mainly for my own ability to look back and remember what level of satisfaction I found in the bottle. Other people seem to find them helpful and so I share those scores.
I will attest that I find much more pleasure from wine now that I analyze each bottle I drink. I drink much better wine now than I did when it was just about drinking wine. I guess it's just personal preference.
Either way, this is a great piece.
Love it!
"I don't eat at the Olive Garden and this is a boring list, but it's well priced, with accessible wines that probably complement the food they serve." But what do you really think? : )
Great points, all. I wrote a similar post a few months ago, a sort of pros and cons list of the 100-point rating system.
I agree completely that "the vast majority of consumers who don't know a ton about wine are looking for a good bottle that won't break the bank . . . and, if the 100-point scale system is helpful in those pursuits, who am I to judge?" Absolutely!
I think the 100 point system is very good for consumers in the sense that if they have, say, $20 to spend, and want a good red, they can go right to the high-scoring reds in that price range at their local wine purveyors, and find something worthwhile, especially if they're staring down 300 + bottles and haven't a clue what to buy! In these circumstances, a ratings system that everyone can understand is pretty darn useful.
But by the same token, and this is what I find most troubling about the whole ratings system, so much great wine does not get rated at all, and many consumers aren't aware of this. Which makes it hard for the little-known, but quality producers, to get their wines top-of-mind for wine consumers. When I pointed out that oceans and oceans of wine never even gets rated on my blog several months ago, lots of people who buy wine and drink wine regularly were surprised.
So I always tell people, "just because it's not rated, doesn't mean it isn't good," (however people define that).
At the end of the day, the 100-point scale is useful for some and not so much for others, but it's not, in and of itself an "evil" thing!
And great post, I really enjoyed it.
Nice piece. Whether you like or dislike 100 points scoring, there's no question but that widely accessible wine criticism has improved the general quality of wine. Parker an WS have forced coasting premier crus to pick up their game and catapulted promising newcomers to prominence in a way that simple word of mouth couldn't.
I'm not much of a 100 point fan myself, though a surprisingly high or low score gets my attention. I think of wine in simple, almost primitive terms: would I buy this again? Is it an every day wine or something special? Would it benefit from age? That's about it. My palate isn't discerning enough to quantify 1% differences in quality, so I go with yes or no questions.
Again, this was a smart piece. Nicely done.
I find all critics' ratings and tasting notes valuable, although you need to learn to calibrate them with your own tastes. The biggest complaint I have with Parker, Wine Spectator, and Tanzer is assigning such precise ratings to wines that are so young and, in some cases, still in barrels. This is compounded by their failure to provide systematic follow-up ratings of the wines as they mature. Sure, they do occasional retrospectives on vintages or verticals for producers, but far too sporadically to help consumers. Parker's Hedonist Gazette notes, on the other hand, are not really tasting notes, and raise the question does a sober 8 become a drunken 10? A far better system is Clive Coates' 10- and 20-year retrospectives, but sadly he only focuses on Burgundy now. If you are considering the purchase of older wines, I suggest getting some of Coates' excellent Bordeaux and Burgundy books or back issues of The Vine. Broadbent's compendiums of tasting notes are also helpful. Of course there are many other sources of varying reliability, but I have digressed enough for now.
I'm with you, Sasha. I hate the self-righteousness of people who don't want others to have the 100-point scale. You don't like the scale? Don't use it. But why tell me I can't? Do you tell Roger Ebert which scale he can use to review movies?

Every time Victoria Lux narrowed her list of potential colleges, Bentley University was near the top.
Wednesday afternoon, the McAuley High junior put the Falcons at the top. Lux, a two-time Maine Sunday Telegram all-state basketball selection, verbally committed to Bentley, which won the NCAA Division II women's national championship this year.
Lux had narrowed her choices to Bentley, located in Waltham, Mass., and two Division I schools, Fairfield and Marist. But Bentley's proximity to home and its winning tradition swayed Lux.
"This really means everything to me,'' she said on the ride back from Bentley where she told Coach Barbara Stevens of her decision. "I wanted my family to be able to come watch me play and they will be able to.
"I feel it's going to be a good transition from high school. McAuley has a great basketball program and is very strong academically. Bentley reminds me of McAuley in a lot of ways.''
Lux, 17, has helped the Lions win the last three of their four consecutive Class A state championships. This year she averaged 13.2 points and an SMAA-high 9.2 rebounds per game. At 6-foot-1, she has the ability to play inside, but is also quick enough to get out on the fast break.
"Every year she has gotten better mentally and physically for us,'' said McAuley Coach Bill Goodman. "She has been a big part of our championships the last three years. When the going got tough, she really produced for us. As a coach it's nice to see a kid grow up.''
Bentley is not unfamiliar to Lux, who said she was receiving a full scholarship. Her older sister, Vanessa, also played for the Falcons from 2004-08 after attending McAuley.
"That's another reason I felt very comfortable with my decision,'' said Victoria Lux. "My sister has been on me since Day One to go there. I feel like it's always been part of my family.''
Bentley has been on a strong four-year run. In addition to this year's national championship, the Falcons advanced to the national semifinals in 2012 and the final eight in 2011.
"She's going to a very competitive program,'' said Goodman. "She's going to be challenged in the classroom and on the court. And that's what she wanted.''
Lux is relieved to have made her decision so she can concentrate on her senior season at McAuley.
"This was an early decision, but it's the right one," she said. "It's where I always wanted to go.''

If you grew up in Red Deer during the mid 70's and early 80's you may recall the opening of Bower Ponds. The pavillion on the ponds the bridge, and fish. Yes fish. They stock bower ponds and as young kid growing up you may have rode your bike from southern subdivisions like Morrisroe and tried your hand at catching one.
A few years back the Red Deer river swelled over its banks and flooded many areas including Bower Ponds. Fortunately it didn't destroy the area and left ity pretty well intact. One of the benefits was fish from the river were now introduced to a new home and stranded in the ponds when the river level receded. You may catch a whopper of a fish.
the cronquist house is located at Bower Ponds and is available for rent for group functions and meetings. The area is also popular for Canada Day celebrations with music, dancing and more going on during Canada Day. On warm sunny summers days you will often find a bride and groom posing for photos as the picturesque nature of the area is a favourite for wedding photos.
Take some time out of your day, walk the paths, ride your bike or rent a paddle boat and enjoy Bower ponds. Should you find yourself there during the winter, don't worry you can go ice skating.

Have you ever stepped on the scale in the morning and smiled because you'd dropped a pound or two? Or, upon seeing higher-than-usual numbers, blamed your unexpected weight gain on heavy shoes or the lunch you just had?
Most women play some version of the scale game whenever they weigh themselves, but the truth is there are at least eight reasons why the numbers can fluctuate so much. Remember these, and the next time the scale doesn't cooperate, you'll know why:

1. You're Wearing Clothes
On average, clothes add up to 2 pounds to your actual weight.
"Summer clothing tends to be relatively light, and winter jeans and sweaters could add more than 2 pounds," says Katie Heddleston, a registered dietitian based in Cleveland.
At home, weigh yourself in the nude first thing in the morning. At the doctor's office, take off your shoes and jacket for a more accurate reading.

2. You Just Finished Working Out
When you exercise at a high intensity, you burn glycogen calories (carbs), which hold water weight. You might see a 5-pound dip on the scale after a high-energy spinning or Zumba class, but don't do a happy dance just yet.
The drop isn't a true weight loss; it's a loss of water weight, which will quickly go back on once you rehydrate. In fact, "you need to drink 16 ounces of water for every pound down after a workout to replenish your water stores appropriately," says Heddleston.
Highly Recommended Weight Loss Supplement:
Well-designed clinical trials suggest that CLA may reduce body fat mass. Together with a balanced diet and regular exercise, NatureWise CLA 1250 is a great, non-stimulating addition to your overall weight-loss plan. Click here to find out more on Amazon.com >>
3. You Just Had A Big salad Or Vegetable Soup
Eating fiber-filled foods like veggies can make the scale numbers go up temporarily, but don't despair.
Fiber is not digested or absorbed by the body. It's considered a non-nutrient, which helps to move food through the body and aid digestion by attracting water to the small and large intestines. Later, once the fiber has done its job, you should see the scale go down again.
4. You Attended Happy Hour Last Night
A night of drinking can add a lot of unexpected calories — and weight.
"A 12-ounce can of beer has about 150 calories, a 5-ounce glass of wine has approximately 125 calories, and a 1.5-ounce shot of hard alcohol has about 100 calories — and that doesn't even include the calories contained in the mixer," says Rachel Begun, a registered dietitian based in New York City.
Keep that in mind before you order another cosmo or dirty martini. Plus, alcohol impairs judgment and stimulates appetite, which may tempt you to reach for those diet-busting sliders and nachos.
5. You Had Chinese Takeout For Dinner Last Night
Consuming high-sodium foods like canned soup and frozen meals can push the scale upward, and so can the consumption of soy sauce and MSG in Chinese food.
Water helps the body absorb excess sodium so that it can eventually be flushed out. As a result, high-sodium intake can equal temporary water-weight gain.
6. It's That Time Of The Month
Water weight adds extra pounds right before you start your period. Researchers think hormones are the culprit: A shift in estrogen and progesterone right before menstruation can cause water retention and swelling.
But don't worry, says Heddleston; it's temporary. After those few days, your weight will return to normal.
7. You Haven't, Um, Gone In A While
The numbers on the scale may rise if you're constipated. Begun recommends lots of fiber — about 30 grams a day from fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans and nuts — plus plenty of water and exercise to move things along.
Once you're regular again, the added weight will fall away.
8. You're Under The Weather
If you have a cold or the flu, you may not eat as much as usual, which can slow down your metabolism and add a pound or two. On the other hand, if you can't keep any food down because of a stomach bug, you may see a drop in the scale numbers.
In either case, your weight will stabilize once you're healthy.

One big challenge for Kam Chancellor

The question had to be asked, and who better to answer it than Mike Smith: How is it possible that Tony Gonzalez continues to do what he's doing for the Atlanta Falcons at the age of 37 and in his 17th NFL season?
"I wish I could give you the answer, and put it in a jar and give it to everybody that plays the game of football," Smith, the Falcons' coach, said this week during a conference call interview. "It's just amazing what Tony's still capable of doing."
Entering Sunday's game between the Seahawks and Falcons at the George Dome, Gonzalez, already the most productive tight end in NFL history and one of the most prolific receivers ever in the league, is having yet another Gonzalez-esque season: a team-leading 44 catches for 476 yards and a team-high four touchdowns.
And remember, this isn't supposed to even be happening. Gonzalez had announced that last season would be his last season. But he's back, and obviously every bit as productive and consistent as ever.
But why? And how?
"Tony has a very good feel for boxing out and putting his body between the defender and the quarterback, so there's a comfort level," Smith said.
Gonzalez is no stranger to the Seahawks. They faced him in January, during a divisional playoff game in Atlanta, when Gonzalez caught six passes for 51 yards and a touchdown. And in typical Gonzalez fashion, it wasn't how many passes he caught, but when he caught them – and against who. He had a 9-yard reception against strong safety Kam Chancellor on the game-opening drive to a field goal. His TD came on a 1-yard catch against Chancellor later in the first quarter. He had a 6-yarder on third-and-5 against middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and an 11-yarder on third-and-9 against third safety Winston Guy during a touchdown drive on the Falcons' first possession in the second half. Saving the best for last, he had a 19-yarder against zone coverage on the Falcons' drive to their game-winning field goal in overtime.
Now that smarts, and it also can be traced to Gonzalez's smarts.
"Tony is a very intelligent player," Smith said.
Crafty, too. Just ask the 6-3, 232-pound Chancellor.
"He's played for a long time. He's seen a lot and he knows a lot," Chancellor said. "He's a guy that knows how to get open. He's not the fastest guy, but he's very crafty and he has great hands. He might not run the best routes, but he just knows how to get open. He knows where to be, and he has good chemistry with the quarterback."
"Tony also has a large completion zone," Smith said. "And when I say that, he can catch the ball above his head, below his waist, to the right and to the left. He's been a great guy to have on our football team."
Not to mention a stats factory during a career that began in 1997 with the Kansas City Chiefs, who made him the 13th overall pick overall in the draft; and has continued since he was acquired by the Falcons in a 2009 trade.
Halfway through his 17th season, Gonzalez has 1,286 receptions, second all-time behind Jerry Rice; 14,744 receiving yards, No. 7 all-time; and 107 TD catches, No. 6 all-time. With six catches on Sunday, Gonzalez would have his 16th consecutive 50-catch season. And, he has caught at least one pass in 201 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the league. With a 12-catch, 149-yard, two-touchdown performance against the New England Patriots in Week 4, Gonzalez has 31 100-yard games and 18 multiple-TD games.
"He's been consistent the whole time. That's what makes you a great player," Chancellor said. "And that's what he is."
That, and one extra-large challenge for the Seahawks' extra-large strong safety.
"I'm looking forward to it," Chancellor said. "Anytime you get a guy like that and people look at it as a challenge, I'm always ready for it. I'm ready to maximize my game." Read

- Description
TMC2100 are the quietest Pololu compatible stepper motor drivers currently available on the market. The size corresponds to the popular Pololu drivers: the pinout is compatible, but not identical. The driver can be used on all major electronics, eg 8-bit electronics as RAMPS, Rumba, GT2560 or 32-bit electronics as RADDS or AZSMZ and all other Pololu compatible RepRap electronics.
- Driver-IC: TMC2100, noiseless operation (in certain modes)
- Hardware compatible with Step Stick and Pololu A4988
- 1.25A RMS continuous current (equivalent to about 1,77A Imax)
- short-time peak current 2.5A per motor coil
- Step/Dir interface with micro-step function (interpolation of up to 256 micro-steps)
- Motor voltage: 5...45V
- stealthChop mode - for a noiseless operation
- spreadCycle mode - for a high dynamic and torque
Special features in comparison to other stepper motor drivers
The TMC2100 stepper motor drivers a few peculiarities must be observed.
- The driver board is "upside down" mounted, with the chip and the potentiometer down. To allow this, the pinout is mirrored too.
- The heat sink is mounted on the circuit board on the back. This is much better, because the heat is much better guided by the heat pipes of the board, than the thick plastic layer of the chip itself.
- The potentiometer is mounted upside down and adjustable via a hole through the board.
- The "spreadCycle" operating mode is recommended for use in 3D printers. This guarantees sufficient torque for 3D printers; also, this is a very quiet mode.
- The "stealthChop" operating mode is noiseless, but it can often lead to step losses since the torque is considerably reduced.
Pin Configuration
Since many different electronic boards available such as RAMPS, RADDS, RUMBA, etc, the wiring of config pins (CFG1, CFG2 and CFG3) is solved differently, so it's recommended not to connect config pins. This prevents that change of the electronics implies adjusting the driver. Be joined, that the "spreadCycle" mode also needs the pin CFG1 connected to GND. This can be realized by a small wire bridge (see photo).
The pins and DIAG1 DIAG2 have no function and may also be omitted.
Various operating modes to provide a through connection of the 3 config pins that green highlighted line is the recommended operation mode:

Licensee Interview: Team Campbell
When the guys at Molson Coors suggested that I interview John and Senga Campbell who had a hotel in Cumnock, I wasn't sure what to expect. I certainly didn't expect to see a multi-million pound boutique establishment complete with plush banqueting suite, especially when it has a very traditional name…the Dumfries Arms.
John explains, "We bought the Dumfries Arms back in 1997 as an investment, at a good price, and leased it out. Over the years it didn't get a lot of investment and by the time we decided to take it back ourselves, it really was dilapidated, in fact we closed it for a while because we decided that when we did renovate it we wanted to do it right."
And there is generic for cymbalta 20 mg no doubt, they have done it right. The Dumfries Arms is now a luxury 26-bedroom hotel, with a 250 capacity banqueting suite, cocktail bar and restaurant and private dining room. The couple were fortunate enough to benefit from a CARS grant from the local council. Says John, "We got a lot of support from East Ayrshire Council and this really encouraged us. It also helped that I am a builder, so although we spent a few million pounds we also saved a huge amount, because my company did the work. This allowed us to do the job properly. We didn't stint."
They also didn't change the name. Says John, "We thought about it, and then decided to keep the traditional name, and I'm glad we did."
It opened back in July and Senga is the first to admit the opening was rather stressful, mainly because they were working to a tight deadline – the date of her daughter Kylie's wedding to Jordan Lennox!" She explains, "The week before people were calling us to ask if the wedding was still on. Even the photographer was a bit nervous. But I thrive on a deadline, and it was such a great feeling when the day went to plan. Everyone said how much they loved the venue. It made all the stress worthwhile. Despite the fact that we were still cleaning the hotel at 1am the night before!"
The couple first came into the trade in 1991 when they purchased The Railway Hotel in Auchinleck. Says Senga, "We were looking for a house, and John came home and generic for cymbalta 20 mg said what about a pub? When we took it on I don't think I had ever even been in a public bar. In fact the customers there had to help me out with the names of the drinks when we took over. But I loved it, particularly when the pub was buzzing. I gravitated towards the kitchen, and really became the chef, and I have been instrumental in building up that side of our business ever since."
John continues, "We ran the Railway Hotel the way it was for the first two years and then generic for cymbalta 20 mg the money we made was used to refurbish it."
Senga explains, "When we took it over it didn't have a function suite and it only had a couple of bedrooms. Once John renovated it we had seven bedrooms and a function suite for 300. The business just came in – we did weddings, funerals, you name it. It really became the focal point in the town."
While Senga was busy with the day to day running of the Railway Hotel, and bringing up three girls, John built his house building business up, Northkirk Building Co, and got involved in buying and selling properties. Although they are only operating two premises now, with another project imminent, over the years they have bought other pubs and leased them out. But Senga says, "We generic for cymbalta 20 mg are not going to buy and put tenants in any more. We made good money in the past from this business model, but as far as we are concerned that time has passed. We want to own and run our own outlets now, and refurbish them to a standard that we are happy with."
Says John, "The Dumfries Arms project came at the right time. It's quiet in the building business at the moment and it meant that I was able to concentrate on the Dumfries Arms."
While John deals with the bricks and mortar and suppliers, it is Senga that handles Campbell Inns interior design. But this is the first time generic for cymbalta 20 mg she has worked with designers. Says Senga, "Initially I was going to do it myself. But it was great working with the interior designers because it meant that although I picked the colours, they did all the story boards and sourced everything. So generic for cymbalta 20 mg I didn't have to run about. But I did pick everything. I get ideas from other places. I like seeing different places and with three girls we do go out a lot and try new places. John would prefer to be on the golf course, but I like to know what is on trend. For instance we have used digitally enhanced wallpaper in the reception. I've always got a camera in my bag, and I love places that appeal to all age groups."
John deals with all the suppliers, but that's hardly surprising considering he also owns a wholesale company which also comes under the Campbell Inns banner. Says John, "We supply about 300 pubs, clubs and restaurants in the West. Obviously I have a good relationship with most suppliers, and if I don't I stop dealing with them."
He has been particularly impressed with Molson Coors and his rep Michael McShane. Says John, "We've only been dealing with Michael for about 18 months, but in that time I have found him exceptional. He goes above and beyond what you would expect. He comes up with ideas for the business and generally is first to offer support. I'm not surprised that Carling is proving so popular with my customers, it won't be generic for cymbalta 20 mg long before it is my pouring brand."
He adds, "I'd also like to mention Tom Cullen. What I like about him is that he's a bit different. He says it how it is, and I really appreciate that."
Since the Dumfries Arms opened in July they have had dignitaries from as far afield as Hong Kong and Istanbul. Says Senga, "We are the closest hotel to Dumfries House, which was purchased by a consortium of charities and heritage bodies in 2007 after HRH the Prince of Wales, under his title as the Great Steward of Scotland, championed it. As a result we get lots of visiting dignitaries. Dumfries House doesn't have any rooms and this has been a great opportunity for us to showcase what we have at the Dumfries Arms. But we are now embarking on a major marketing initiative. People still don't know we are here, and don't realise what we have to offer. Ideally I generic for cymbalta 20 mg would like to be doing two weddings a week here and have the hotel running at maximum capacity!"
The next project for the couple could be the Bellisle Hotel in Ayr. Says John, "We are still ironing the detail out, but I am hoping that we can start work on it soon. It will take about 18 months to complete."
And Senga is looking forward to it. She says, "I can't wait to have wedding venue like the Bellisle. Although the Dumfries Arms is great, and its proximity to Dumfries House is ideal, where the Bellisle is situated is perfect. And perhaps it will be ready in time for our next daughter's wedding!
But meantime the couple plan to get the Dumfries Arms operating smoothly. Says Senga, "We are nearly there, and we are enjoying being here. It gives us both a great deal of pleasure."
As for slowing down and enjoying the fruits of their labour, says Senga, "I enjoy going on holiday but the stress of leaving the business is sometimes too much, while John is happiest on the golf course. But we both get such a buzz out of the hospitality business that I can't imagine doing anything else!"

The Dark Tower: Wolves of the Calla: 5 (Dark Tower)
by Stephen King
Cover Artist: Bernie Wrightson
Review by John Berlyne
Donald M. Grant Inc Hardcover ISBN/ITEM#: 1880418568
Date: 04 November 2003 List Price £16.83 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Article /
I'll begin this review by stating that King's magnum opus is undoubtedly required reading for any self-respecting genre reader. It is a vast work, thirty odd years in the writing, panoramic in scope, depth and idea, filled with myriad wonders and dangers and ultimately a hugely rewarding (if at times uneven) experience for any reader who puts in the necessary time it takes to plough through it. To date there have been five volumes released, and the King publicity machine states that the author has completed the remaining two volumes which will published next year. Given the nature of this work, this review can be aimed only at those readers familiar with the series -- if you're thinking of beginning this journey with The Wolves of the Calla, DON'T! Start -- as I did to prepare for this review -- by picking up The Gunslinger and working your way through. If you don't, frankly, you won't have the slightest clue about what's going on! From official release/information:
Amazon.co.uk Review: In Wolves of the Calla, volume five of Stephen King's epic fantasy western The Dark Tower, coincidence has, as Eddie Dean observes, been cancelled. Everything the gunslinger Roland and his companions encounter has taken on symbolic significance. So when they come to Calla Bryn Sturgis, named after the director of The Magnificent Seven, its clear that King will follow the classic western archetype of a small band of heroes defending peaceable homesteaders. Here, the heroes resist masked raiders who abduct one of each pair of twins (and almost all children are twins), only to return them a month later horribly changed.
Father Callahan from King's Salem's Lot is resident in Calla Bryn Sturgis, and has his own tale of vampires, regulators and the secret highways though alternative Americas. Not coincidentally, the evil Glass Black 13 is hidden in his church. Meanwhile Susannah is again sporting a secondary personality, this time Mia, mother to the inhuman child that Susannah does not know she is carrying, while Roland realises their quest has become a race against the arthritis which will soon leave him crippled.
In this enormously ambitious book, King continues to weave together his back catalogue with the pop culture and literature of America itself, noting in his introduction that if you haven't read the previous Dark Tower volumes this isn't the place to begin. It is, though, a hugely entertaining adventure, rich in allusion; a passing aside to Thomas Wolfe might easily be dismissed, yet his title You Can't Go Home Again, encapsulates this entire spellbinding odyssey as well as five words ever will. --Gary S Dalkin

BONN (Oct. 2)
With the new Israeli unity government in place, there is an opening now for renewed Middle East peace efforts in which the European Economic Community (EEC) nations would like to take an active part, West Germany's Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher has told Egyptian Foreign Minister Abdel Esmat Meguid in a conversation at the United Nations in New York, it was reported here.
He conveyed a similar message at a separate meeting with UN Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar, according to reports. He has also accepted an invitation from his Syrian counterpart, Farouk Al-Shara, to visit Damascus in the near future. German diplomatic sources said the visit is in line with Genscher's hope to reactivate the Middle East diplomatic involvement of the EEC countries.
According to Genscher's aides, the Foreign Minister did not specify what the European community would do. But he made it clear that the Europeans prefer to advance existing "realistic efforts" toward a resolution of the Middle East conflict rather than formulate a peace plan of their own.
Sources in Bonn said the European Foreign Ministers have recently discussed the issue and instructed their aides to prepare alternative drafts for diplomatic action.
The language Genscher used in reference to existing peace efforts suggested to observers here that the EEC, or at least West Germany, would back elements of President Reagan's September 1, 1982 peace plan and of the plan advanced by King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. Both are viewed here and in other major Western European capitals as realistic and even-handed.
Genscher's talks with Meguid also served to prepare for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's visit to Bonn from October 30-November 2. Mubarak reportedly will seek new West German commitments for massive economic aid and credits for the possible purchase of several nuclear power stations. West German companies are competing with American and French manufacturers of nuclear plants for the multi-billion dollar order.
In his talk with the Syrian Foreign Minister, Genscher is said to have stressed that the role played by Damascus in Lebanon and in the Middle East generally puts special responsibility on Syria. He also told the Syrian diplomat, as he had the Egyptian, that now that Israel has formed a new government, the time is ripe for the Europeans to renew their diplomatic activity in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, in a written statement on the Jewish New Year, Genscher pledged that Bonn will continue to cooperate closely with Israel and support its efforts to solve its economic crisis and advance peace prospects in the region. He stressed that the Bonn government will do anything it can to contribute toward a broad and lasting peace in the Middle East.

Memorable Quotes and Dialog:
Description by OLDIES.com:
Professor Moriarty (George Zucco) has at long last been brought to trial for murder. But the "Napoleon of Crime" is acquitted after the court finds a lack of sufficient evidence. Moments after the judge releases the defendant, Sherlock Holmes dashes into the courtroom with proof that will destroy Moriarty's alibi and send the professor to the gallows. Alas, he is too late and the criminal mastermind is set free.
Moriarty wastes no time in plotting his next crime, but in order to be successful he must divert the attention of the Great Detective. Enter Miss Ann Brandon (Ida Lupino), who calls on Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) after she and her brother receive anonymous letters containing a drawing of a man with an albatross hung around his neck, and a date written above the picture. Their father received the same baffling letter years before and was found murdered on the date inscribed in his letter.
Are these mysterious letters but erroneous distractions? Are they clues to a case irrelevant to the exploits of the evil Professor Moriarty? Or are these portents of disaster inexorably linked to the master criminal's plan to commit a crime that will shake the very foundation of the British Empire? It is for Holmes and Watson to sort out the mystery and, hopefully, eliminate the menace of Professor Moriarty.

ATLANTA - Principals, superintendents and other educators met at Bethune Elementary School on Monday morning to honor Georgia schools that are succeeding despite high poverty rates.
But first, they had to wait for a break in the classical music that's piped into the inner-city school's hallways between classes - an effort to broaden pupils' cultural horizons.
"They use all kinds of different music," said Holly Robinson, the executive director of the Georgia Public Policy Foundation. "They do wonderful things at this school."
Such innovations, she said, made Bethune one of the foundation's 23 No Excuses Schools - campuses with high poverty rates that have posted high academic achievement.
Two Richmond County schools were among those honored: Terrace Manor Elementary School and Glen Hills Middle School.
To make the list, schools had to have a poverty rate above the state average - based on the number of free and reduced-price government lunches served - and perform well on the annual report card the foundation releases.
"All children can learn," Ms. Robinson said. "Today, we're really shining a spotlight on schools that show those successes.
"These schools are saying: 'If English is your second language, if you're from a split family, you drop all those excuses at the door and we're going to teach you how to read."'
Ms. Robinson and others said the successful schools share certain themes, including high expectations and a focus on teacher training.
Edward Boswell is the principal of Manchester Middle School in Meriwether County, just west of Macon. He called programs to add technology and other new programs at the school a disappointment, saying a "no-frills approach" works better.
"When it was all over, we really felt any gains we had were based on teacher initiative to teach the objective," he said.
Mr. Boswell also said motivating pupils to care about their performance is key.
Giving a standardized test that doesn't affect grades might not inspire great effort, he said, but promote the test as a chance to compete against other schools from across the country and you'll see pupils do their best.

Circa 1300, in sense "unruly, reckless, violent", from Old French estourdi, form of estourdir, originally "to daze, to make tipsy (almost drunk)" (Modern French étourdir ("to daze, to make tipsy")), from Vulgar Latin *exturdire. Latin etymology is unclear - presumably it is ex- + turdus ("thrush (bird)"), but which this should mean "daze" is unclear. A speculative theory is that thrushes eat leftover winery grapes and thus became drunk, but this meets with objections.
Disease in cows and sheep is by extension of sense of "daze", while sense of "strongly built" is of late 14th century, and relationship to earlier sense is less clear, perhaps from sense of a firm strike (causing a daze) or a strong, violent person.

Jonathan Chait argues that Senate Republicans are departing from previous norms in their opposition to President Obama's judicial nominees: "It's easy to lose sight of the breadth of the issue at stake, because the two parties have jostled for decades over just how free a hand the president can wield in seeding the judiciary with allies. . . . Neither party ever contemplated anything resembling the full-scale blockade Senate Republicans are imposing upon the D.C. Circuit."
So when Democrats mounted an unprecedented series of filibusters against Bush's appeals-court nominees, that was just normal politics. They may have gone too easy on those nominees, since they were "extreme jurists" (Miguel Estrada? Peter Keisler?).
Chait also writes, "Why are Republicans renewing the confrontation? One reason seems to be that they feel they have given enough by backing down before: Having agreed to allow a few administration appointments, they feel entitled to renew routine filibusters." A few months ago, Sri Srinivasan was confirmed unanimously to the D.C. Circuit. So, in other words, the unprecedented "full-scale blockade" is not actually a full-scale blockade.
The temptation to dress up a power grab as a matter of high principle is, evidently, hard to resist.
