Q&A: My daughter is throwing tantrums about the new baby. Help!
My daughter will soon be turning six years old. I am 23 weeks pregnant with her new baby brother, and she is very, very excited about this. However, I have noticed that since my husband and I told her about the baby, she has been acting out more. When she does not get her way she screams and throws a huge tantrum.
I am at my wits' end because she is constantly acting this way. Please help with any ideas you'd like to suggest. Thank you.
Your daughter may be genuinely excited about a new sibling, but that's probably not all that she is feeling, and she may be acting out those more negative emotions.
Think for a minute about what this will do to the life she has now. She will no longer have her parents all to herself. She'll never be the youngest again. There will a demanding newborn on the scene whom she won't be able to play with for months. Jealousy and trepidation are normal emotions for her, as well as excitement.
First, extinguish the acting out just as you would if she were two: let her know that her bahavior isn't acceptable and ignore the tantrums as much as possible. Then, since she is almost six and more verbal than a two-year-old would be, begin to talk regularly about what she may be feeling. If she can't verbalize her emotions, a quick internet search will yield many good story books about children dealing with new siblings. Emphasize what she will be gaining: newfound status as the competent, older child and a helper that you will be relying on.
Last, begin a tradition now that you can plan to continue once the baby is born, of designating some special time just with her. A few times a week, give her 30 to 60 minutes of unstructured time. Your husband may want to do this as well, and he needs to agree to take the baby to give you uninterrupted time. She will look forward to this, and it may help smooth over the big adjustment that she is facing.
Good luck!

On any given night, an estimated 60,000 youth - the overwhelming majority of whom are accused of minor and non-violent offenses - are incarcerated in a correctional facility or out-of-home placement. Despite research showing that incarceration leads to high juvenile recidivism rates, as well as poor education, employment, and health outcomes for youth, systems often fail to use alternatives to incarceration that have been shown to be more effective at rehabilitating young people. Moreover, an estimated 250,000 youth are tried in the adult criminal justice system annually, and nearly 10,000 youth are housed in adult jails or prisons on any given night. These policies ignore the well-established differences between youth and adults, increase recidivism rates, and expose youth in adult jails and prisons to high rates of sexual abuse and suicide. Youth of color are disproportionately likely to suffer the harms of these failed policies and practices.
The Foundation's Juvenile Justice Program supports groups working to end the criminalization and over-incarceration of youth in the United States. In particular, the Program makes grants to groups that are working to:

SIZE MATTERS ... and at last night's Heat-Pacers game, Justin Bieber was in the teeny weenie Jesus department compared to Flo Rida.
Justin dropped by the American Airlines Arena for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, wearing his bandwagon baseball cap and Hefty-brand button down ... but the tiny Jesus really made a messiah of his outfit.
Flo Rida vs. Justin Bieber -- it's a slam dunk, right?
This self-entitled, smug like douch$bag is not cool. he is a perfect example of someone who is throwing away what talentr he has by thinking that he is above the law and better than everyone else. He actualoly practices that the rest iof teh world are subservient to him and his crew of wanna bee thugs. They are basically punks and wannabees and this si not going to end well. He is so far from cool it is really pathetic.
people that don't know they look ludicrous amuse me... like a clown...
I would think Jesus would be against big gold and diamond fancy chains........and it's not very
Christ-like to spit in peoples faces, threaten them, and speed up and down the street putting children in danger......oh and treat animals like disposable play toys....JUST SAYIN'
Oh how coooooool. stupid vs. stupider~thug life pathetic losers
To use Jesus Christ to make an inference joke about a sexual organ is really low TMZ. Would you do that about Mohammad or other faith's spiritual founders? Learn some basic respect.
Both are super douchey!!!!
News Flash Justin, YOU ARE a WHITE a$$hole Douch$bag. Stop trying to be black, you dumb ass idiot.
Jesus foresaw this and had himself executed. Lucky bastard.
That thing looks hideous!
It looks like Ellen has a new tattoo.
WWJS...what would Jesus say?
Who hires his security guards? Is one of the requirements you have to make him look like he's four years old?
Two materialistic snobs whose taxes need to be increased.
This is messed up, and I'm not even christian.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Two Corpus Christi police officers who just graduated from the academy in August are on suspension while internal affairs looks into allegations of misconduct.
Officers Bryan Cantu and Spencer Christian were both in the final stages of their training when they were suspended for unrelated incidents.
The president of the police officers' union says Cantu, was suspended over a disturbance involving his girlfriend.
Christian was reportedly suspended following his arrest by the Dallas Police on charges of assaulting a family member.
Both incidents happened over a week ago.
Police Chief Floyd Simpson told KRIS 6 News on Monday that he doesn't want to release specifics until internal affairs finishes their review.

One LA made significant advances by advancing its strategy to prevent foreclosures, organizing a community base for public school reform, and preparing to launch a campaign to implement the Federal health care plan in Los Angeles County.Foreclosures: After two years of calling for principal reduction, the Obama administration has adopted a loan modification plan that includes reduction in the mortgage principal. Homeowners that lead the One LA campaign are receiving offers for principal reduction from One West and other banks. The One LA campaign to launch the pilot project for principal reduction with the City of Los Angeles and Bank of America will be launched in the next few weeks. Finally, the U.S. Treasury is considering a plan proposed by One LA that would put $25 million into LA to expand the One LA program. Plans to launch these strategies will be outlined on Nov. 30th. School Reform: In West LA parents, principals and teachers are forming organizing teams in local school communities that will reach out to their respective communities to create an agenda to improve their local schools. Parents in the San Fernando Valley and South LA are laying the groundwork for similar campaigns. In March of 2011 the Los Angeles Unified School District Board will hold elections. One LA may organize a "platform for reform" and seek commitments from all candidates to endorse it. Issues concerning the pace and model of transferring campuses from public school control to charters, the methods used to evaluate teachers and budget cuts are a few of the concerns to be raised. Health Care: Last weekend over 90 leaders from across metro LA met at Temple Emmanuel to form four research teams on health care reform 1.) MediCal 2.) Small Businesses and the new Health Exchanges, 3.) Affordability and 4.) Community Based Health Clinics. On January 30 the newly elected State Insurance Commissioner will meet with One LA on the issues related to implementation of the Federal health reforms. The action will mark the beginning of a campaign to win universal health care in California by identifying the flaws in the current system, implementing the parts of the new reforms that work and identify areas where further changes are needed.

With British mile legends Sebastian Coe and Sir Roger Bannister looking on, 24-year-old Taoufik Makhloufi of Algeria became the 2012 Olympic gold medalist at 1500 meters on Tuesday when he stormed ahead in the final 300 meters to win in 3:34.08.
Storming up behind him on the homestretch was Leo Manzano of the United States to earn silver in 3:34.79, bringing home the first 1500-meter Olympic medal for the U.S. since Jim Ryun's silver in 1968. In 10th place at the bell, Manzano blasted past four rivals in the last 100 meters.
The bronze medal was won by Abdalaati Iquider of Morocco in 3:35.13, with Matthew Centrowitz of the U.S., the 2011 IAAF World Championships bronze medalist, on his heels for fourth in 3:35.17.
"I've been training to the best of my ability," said Manzano. "It was an amazing time. It was the only time I've ever cried after a race. It was the toughest mentally, physically demanding race. I knew I had done the work. I must thank the man upstairs."
Although this is his first international medal, Manzano has been one of the most consistent Americans at 1500 meters for the past seven years. Going back to 2006, when he was still competing for the University of Texas, Manzano has never finished out of the top three at a U.S. outdoor championships, and came to London as the 2012 Olympic Trials champion.
Manzano, who came to the United States from Mexico with his family when he was 4 years old, did his lap of honor draped in an American flag and carrying the flag from his country of birth.
The unheralded Makhloufi's victory comes amid controversy: He was at first expelled from the Olympic Games on Monday by the IAAF, track and field's governing body, for not giving honest effort when he stopped running during his heat of the 800 meters, at which he is the 2011 African Games champion. Claiming a knee injury, he was examined by a doctor and reinstated in time to run the 1500-meter final.
"It was the will of God," he said after the race. "Yesterday I was out, today I was in." He added, "I have a problem with my left leg and it may need surgery."
No Kenyan runner finished higher than seventh, the first time since 1992 that no Kenyan 1500-meter runner was on the victory stand. The defending Olympic gold medalist, Asbel Kiprop, finished last, in 3:43.83.
Nick Willis of New Zealand, the 2008 Olympic silver medalist, was ninth in 3:39.94.

While I was in Japan, a friend told me about a special MMA event called Battle of the Sexes. Some of the best women fighters were going to take on the men. This I had to see.
This shot is from the training area before the show. The guy was a lot bigger than her, but she managed to pummel him anyway.
This was great match. They were both standup fighters, so lots of kicks and punches. He landed a powerful kick right to her head early on, but she was tough and just took it. In the second round, he tried to bring her into his guard for some wrestling, but she jumped right over his legs and started beating on his head. Punches were raining down as he tried to cover his face for protection, but it was no use. The referee came and stopped the fight before she really hurt him.
This guy sucked. She wasn't that great a fighter either, but spent most of the match on top of him trying to land punches. She won by decision.
This match was awesome -- it was all grappling. He's a really famous fighter and a lot bigger than her. But she is a great grappler, so she just concentrated on technique. Except here, where, she she got behind him and somehow managed to pick him up and toss him onto his back. He was so stunned that she was able to mount him and apply a devastating armlock. The big guy was begging for mercy and tapping as hard as he could to make her stop the punishment.
This was the best match of the night between two skilled grapplers. The top photo shows the female fighter after she climbed up his torso. She gave him a few hard kicks to his stomach and I hope he was wearing a cup because she also delivered a few powerful blows to his crotch. Then she flipped him over and clamped onto his arm. I could hear him screaming as she applied a painful armbar. Finally he tapped out. In a show of respect to the female champ he rolled onto his knees and put his head down at her feet. After the ref raised her arm in victory, they gave her the microphone and she gave a little victory speech as her beaten male opponent looked on.

Empresas y distritos industriales en el mercado mundial: una aproximación desde la historia económica
AbstractThis paper deals with the contribution of industrial districts and clusters to the creation of competitive advantage in industry. It is divided into two well-differentiated parts. The first one provides an interpretative summary of key issues in the analysis of the geographic concentration of industry. In particular, some of the main interpretations and debates on the causes and characteristics of this concentration are presented. Additionally, it pays particular attention to the ongoing debate about the role of external economies (i.e. the externalities of industrial concentration) and internal economies (i.e. the strategies and capabilities of medium-large firms) in the competitiveness of districts and clusters. The second part of the paper reviews some recent studies, mostly focused on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spain. This review, which includes historical analyses of districts, clusters and industries with export capacity, is undertaken in the light of the discussion in the first part of this study. An interesting conclusion that emerges from the studies reviewed is that in Southern Europe the competitive advantage of the geographically concentrated industry appears to have been associated more with hub-firm clusters than with neo-Marshallian districts (Main text in Spanish)

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney spar one more time before election day in a debate to be focused on foreign policy.
The debate, to be held at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, will follow a standard format with a moderator posing the questions and timed responses from both candidates. The debate will be moderated by CBS News "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer.
CBS Correspondent Peter King tells WKZO undecided voters are burned out on negative ads and need something concrete.
"They want answers," King said. "They want to know 'what is your plan?'"
Both candidates have reportedly spent some time secluded in recent days, presumably rehearsing and preparing answers.
This will be the first standard-format debate since the first one between the two, which seemed at times to run roughshod over typical debate format. Moderator Jim Lehrer was accused by some of losing control of the exchange.
Hear the debate live in its entirety on AM 590 and 96.5FM WKZO starting at 9pm Monday.

Ration and Dram, the new family-friendly neighborhood spot from former Holeman & Finch partner and barkeep Andy Minchow, is set to open at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. But according to its Facebook page, it will be BYOB with no corkage fee for at least the first week or so.
While the liquor license is pending and fans of Minchow's cocktails are counting the days, you can still check out the multilevel Arizona Lofts space, which includes two patios and two bars.
From the kitchen, look for local veggie tempura, patty melt sliders, whole roasted snapper, steak frites, and an extensive brunch menu.

I can't wait to try the local veggie tempura. Nothing tempts my tummy like local veggies cooked in an unhealthy fashion.
I'll probably pound a couple of non-alcoholic beers before I head over there for my big date on Friday night. I am taking my sister out, so wish me luck!

Is this in the Arizona Pub location? I've wondered whether the pub was still there, but without soccer-playing kids I don't have much reason to venture down Arizona.
That said, I'll probably check this place out before too long, as I share Kirk's tastes (his sister really is a peach). Someone should have talked Mr. Minchow out of that name, though, in my opinion.

(Watch the Tumblr-native version here.)
In the 50th anniversary tribute, were the classic doctors wax models? Or just expert editing? I really want to know.
Expert 3D modeling.
We were able to see the storyboards early on. The whole process was kind of incredible.
We've asked if we can post some sort of "making of" thing.
(Have you seen the new Doctor Who 50th Tribute Trailer? Watch it here.)
We've reuploaded today's Doctor Who "50 Years" Tribute trailer to Tumblr in case you're unable to watch it on YouTube.
thegirllostinspace said: For some reason, the 50th anniversary tribute video is not playing for me.... is there something I can do about that, because I REALLY NEED TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it's working for some people but not everybody.
We sent one of the adipose down to the BBC America office to grab the file so that we can upload it to Tumblr.
This is us transcoding it:
And this is us uploading it to tumblr:
We'll hit publish as soon as it's done converting.
Edit: Ok, it's up. Watch it here.
jellybabiestomanual said: That trailer/video thing that just got aired on BBC One that you just posted, is that the trailer for the 50th Episode or is that still to be released?
That was the 50 Years of Doctor Who "Tribute" trailer. The trailer for The Day of The Doctor has yet to be released.

Bright Future for Gap
Shas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Valuation Summary
- Gap (NYSE: GPS) physical retail stores contribute roughly 29% towards the overall revenues.
- Old Navy, which is the high end brand within the Gap division, contributes 27%.
- Internet stores and mail orders contribute roughly 26% towards the overall revenues.
Competitor Highlights
Gap, being one of the largest retail chains in the world, primarily competes with the likes of Target (NYSE: TGT) and Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF). Target is an economy American retailer, targeting a lower end of the US apparel market. It is the second largest economy retailer in the US and is a Fortune 500 company. The company was founded in 1902 and is headquartered in Minnesota. On the contrary Abercrombie & Fitch is a mid market high street retailer like Gap. Both Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch are positioned very similarly and target the younger segment of the population. However, Gap has a broader portfolio with sub-brands like Old Navy and Banana Republic contrary to Abercrombie & Fitch which only focuses on the younger segment.
Potential in International Growth
Relative to its peers Gap's international growth has been at a much slower pace over the last few years. This has been primarily due to the battered European economy, natural disasters in Japan and the closed Asian economies like India. However, the growth potential with expansion in Asia is tremendous. Gap recently opened its first store in China and it has been a huge success. Gap now is contemplating opening its first store in Brazil. This promises to be one of the strongest revenue streams for Gap, as Brazil is one the fastest growing economies in the world. Revenues from other international revenue streams such as Europe and Japan have declined constantly as Europe is still struggling to recover from the crises and Japan is reeling from the natural disaster that occurred last year. Gap's like for like sales from Europe and Japan both declined considerably in 2012. Hence this presents an opportunity to grow in the ever promising Asian market.
China and India are now the two most lucrative revenue streams for fashion retailers in the US. Abercrombie & Fitch recently opened its first store in China, which has been a huge success. Furthermore, Gap can capitalize on the absence of several US and European retailers in the BRIC nations.
Transcending the Luxury Segment
So far Gap has been a mid-market highstreet brand with Banana Republic targeting the high end premium market. Gap is now transcending into the luxury segment. It recently acquired luxury women's boutique Intermix, which has collaboration with several US based luxury designers. This enables GAP to extend its product offerings and target a wider base in addition to acquiring new customers. Intermix generated robust revenues of $130 million last year, and going forward GAP may invest in opening more Intermix stores in order to drive up the volume.
Analysts may argue that Banana Republic offers high end apparels; nonetheless, it does not have a similar positioning to Intermix. Currently Intermix owns 30 stores in the US, and going forward it is certain the count will go up. Currently Intermix volumes are small in relation to the stock price, however its addition to the portfolio establishes a certain brand perception and a feeling of positivity among investors. Gap once held the title of being the world's largest apparel retailer; however, it has lost heavy ground to ZARA in the last few years. However, Gap's strategy to restructure the overall brand perception allows each sub-brand within Gap to primarily focus on increasing its market share. This may lead to a snowball effect on its stock in the near future.
Undervalued Stock
Gap is currently trading at 86% of its 52 week high. The potential of international expansion and transcending into other segments through acquisitions makes Gap an attractive investment if you have a long-term investment horizon. There may be a 14% upside to the stock if the company posts good numbers in the first quarter of 2013. The PE ratio of GAP stands at 16.1, compared to Abercrombie & Fitch's 37.9, however, the PEG ratio of Gap stands at 270, whereas Abercrombie & Fitch stands at roughly 160. This may suggest that Gap is relatively overvalued. Gap posted a 6.5% growth in overall revenues and a 5% growth in like for like sales.
However, it must be noted that the international expansion prospects and an effort made to generate revenues from markets such as Brazil and China may push the stock price towards a premium going forward. Gap also reported 23% growth in the direct to consumer segment. Other players have also profited hugely in this segment, and going forward it is certain that the apparel industry in the US will be driven by direct to consumer retail.

Geez, apparently I've lost more weight than I realized. I don't really see it, but that speaks to how our self perception can be very different from everyone else's.. something to keep in mind. Guess I've hit a reverse plateau - maybe it's time to increase my calories! Phew, that should be fun. But I still feel great at where I am.
Don't torture yourself over a slip up. Accept that it happened, forgive and do better next time.

WPIX—Investigators are trying to determine if alcohol was a factor in Sunday morning's crash on the Bronx River Parkway in which two off-duty police officers were killed and four passenges seriously injured.
The 2009 Nissan Altima was traveling northbound on the parkway around 6:30 a.m. when it slammed into a guard rail and flipped over, pinning 25 year old Edwin Paulino and 32 year old KimHoyoung inside. Both, off-duty at the time, were killed instantly. Four female passengers were thrown from the rear seat and suffered serious injuries. They remain in stable condition at Jacobi Medical Center.
Police closed a portion of the Bronx River Parkway for several hours after the accident to remove the wreckage and conduct an investigation.
One of the survivors told investigators that another vehicle had cut them off and they swerved in an effort to avoid a crash.
Officer Hoyoung was driving the vehicle, which he owned. Neighbors were shocked to hear of his death. The told PIX News that he was a good neighbor who always greeted them with a smile and a hello. He lived in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx with a brother.
Police are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine whether or not the two officers were drunk. In the meantime, investigators said their preliminary finding is that the accident was caused by "driver inattentitiveness," but would not elaborate.
Mayor Bloomberg called it a "tragic accident" and expressed his sympathies to the officer's' families.

SDCC: Dark Horse to Tank Star Wars Franchise With New Ewoks Comic
- Written by Jude Terror on Friday, July 19 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
When Disney purchased Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise last year, Dark Horse Comics Editor in Chief Scott Allie knew that it was only a matter of time before the international conglomerate pulls the Star Wars comic book rights away from Dark Horse, who have been producing them since the 1990s, and gives it to Marvel, a subsidiary of Disney. And so, on that day, Allie began plotting to tank the franchise before handing it over. At San Diego Comic Con today, Allie's plans have finally been revealed: an Ewoks comic written by Zack Giallongo.
At Dark Horse's "Fuck Those Disney Guys. No Seriously, Fuck Them. Fucking Assholes." panel at San Diego Comic Con today, the publisher revealed the trailer for the book, which you can view below:
Sadly, while we're rooting for them to succeed, it's likely that Dark Horse's plans will backfire, as their Star Wars comics have been consistently top notch entertainment no matter how ridiculous the premise. We'll keep you updated.

The guy in this mugshot may have bitten off a little more than he can chew this time.
While I'm unsure exactly what this guy was arrested for (although I think it may have been drug related), an X ray discovered a crack pipe in his stomach upon arrival at the St. Lucie County jail in Florida. From what I've seen on cops and other jail-type shows, criminals have 2 ways of disposing of things when confronted by the police. They either eat it, or shove it up their butt. I think this guy definitely took the preferred method of disposing of the crack pipe, however pooping it out is going to seriously hurt. I've seen some weird stuff in X rays on television either in the anus or stomach, so much so that this little crack pipe seems insignificant.
I mean seriously. Someone desperate enough to hide a gun in their ass must be desperate not to go back to prison. I don't even want to know what it felt like to have to shove a hand cannon up there, but I know for sure I'm glad I'll never have to find out.
And these scissors, well that's just sick. It's not illegal to have scissors obviously, so whoever did that must have just been doing it for the sick pleasure. Kinda scary to think that there are people out there like that.
So in the grand scheme of things, a little crack pipe probably isn't the worst thing to have show up on an X ray, but it's definitely not the best either. Not only is this guy gonna have to shoot shards out of his body in a prison toilet, he's probably going to get a paraphernalia charge on top of it. Should've just smashed it or something.
Whats the weirdest thing you've ever seen in an X ray? Comment Below!

A few points about Transformers 3
- Making mankind rebuild your home planet… What kind of plan is th… Did you think about the logistics of that???!? People require food, oxygen, living quarters, facilities, medical care, transportation, and this is just from the top of my head! Multiply that by 6 billion, and your plan to enlsave humanity falls flat on it's miserable face.
- Teleporting Cybertron near Earth… Congratulations! You have destroyed both planets with one idiotic move!!! It's justl… grah, this is soo ridiculous!
- A note for Michael Bay: explosions and fight scenes don't make a movie. Tilting a skyscraper and endangering the lives of stuntmen is not approved, even for a good movie, let alone for this…
- The VFX and the art direction was somewhat OK, but the movie was so meaningless, so inconsistent and so boring, that from all the explosions I was desensitized and my brain felt numb after the credits roll, I was unable to think coherently.
- The finale of the movie is too long: there are fight scenes after fight scenes involving characters we don't care about at all, and since the last 50-60 minutes of the movie take place in downtown Chigago and basically a fiesta of detonations, shouting and robots running around for absolutely no reason, the sensory overload after 20-30 minutes becomes tiresome and annoying. Contrast: Avatar had a long finale, which had marvellous VFX and many fight scenes, but all these fights were in context, made sense in the plot and there was a comprehensible reason for every move, every shout, every cut.
- … and of course, my previous message for Michael Bay applies here too: the transformation sequences are even harder to follow than in the previous 2 movies, if that's possible…
Verdict: 4/10, but only because the fight scenes themselves were spectacular. If you watch them in 5-10 minute sequences out of context, they are quite entertaining. But don't try to add a paper-thin "plot" and sell it like a regular movie, because you'll get… Transformers 3. Which is not good.

This is an excellent combination of ingredients. Love the sweet melon against peppery arugula and tangy lemon-mustard dressing. This makes a filling meal worthy of summer entertaining.
Prosciutto and Melon Pasta Salad
JillyBurke Posted: 08/14/10
sukeedog Posted: 08/05/10
We really enjoyed this, and leftovers the next day were great. As the other reviewers have noted, the combination of flavors is truly outstanding. I think if I make this again, though, I'll use a bit less pasta and a bit more of everything else.
chudson Posted: 10/09/10
My friend prepared this dish for our "gourmet group" dinner last evening. It was sensational. Very different and fresh. I will make this myself, many times!
Ltoeat Posted: 08/19/10
This is the first place I heard of Barilla Plus, the pasta tasted good and is very nutritious. I liked the dressing mixture and will use it for another pasta recipe. This dish was okay, the melon/pasta combination did not excite my taste buds. To simplify the recipe, I just put the dressing a tight lid container and sake (used a garlic press).
rstarr Posted: 08/30/10
yuM yUM YUM!! Really loved this recipe. So easy to make and super full of flavor. The only sub I made was that instead of the shaved parm I used fresh buffalo mozerella (cubed). Don't leave out the red pepper. The slightly spicy undertone really takes the dish to the next level!
Saecca Posted: 08/01/10
Outstanding flavors in this dish. I used the whole box of Barilla plus pasta instead, and a bit more melon to compensate. We had never had prosciutto before, but now love it! My husband was scared when I pulled it out to slice (it was tricky to slice well), but he is now a believer. I would definitely make this again in a heartbeat. This would be great for guests who are willing to try something different, but a bit familiar.
Belladonna714 Posted: 10/10/10
I didn't particularly care for this salad. However, I think my mistake was serving it as a main dish. I think this would be a great salad to bring along to a barbeque or party though. I used whole wheat pasta, and would recommend backing off a little on the shallots as they were a bit overwhelming, I also thought the mint was a strange addition that I didn't really enjoy.
marisa8045 Posted: 07/21/10
Absolutely delicious! This recipe was a wonderful mix of flavors and had just the right amount of heat from the ground red pepper and bite from the arugula. It also held up well the next day and didn't get soggy even though I dressed it the night before. I left out the shallots because I was in a hurry making, but I'm sure it's even better with them. I will definitely make again. It's perfect to take to the office for lunch!
jewelhilton Posted: 07/29/10
this is yummy yummilicious! Never had melon and prosciutto before but, oh my! My family doesn't like arugula so much so I just used spring greens. Just great all around flavors! Perfect summer dinner with a bit of crusty bread. Can't wait to make it for friends!

On Hair
I cut my bangs again today to be a little chunkier and a little straighter. My bangs have basically been swept to the side since early high school, when my mom still cut my hair and she accidentally trimmed too much by my face. Suddenly it was WOAH, okay, bangs now. Probably one of the best accidents of my life because honestly, I feel like I don't look great without bangs these days. I believe the word my boyfriend used for it was "weird." Anyway, I don't know if you know, but this chunky thing is a big deal.
There's not a whole lot that can be done with smooth, straight Asian hair, so I guess bangs is as exciting as I get. I tried dying my hair a reddish brown a couple times in high school, and I must swear to never go back to that place. I look young with really short hair; my mom gave me an asymmetrical bob in elementary school and the memories still haunt me. Curling it is kind of a pain in the ass because it falls limp even with hairspray, and when it's layered, it slips out of braids and other fun hairstyles so easily that it's like WHY EVEN BOTHER.
The whole idea that clever layering is the best you can do with Asian hair seemed to be confirmed the first time an Asian woman was on America's Next Top Model. Tyra et al barely changed the model's long, layered locks during the makeover process, and she was all "WTF? This is it? This is all you can do?" Which on one hand, whatever, you already have rockin' locks grl, but on the other hand, you go on the show expecting to have Tyra Banks tell you how to be prettier during a mad makeover and then WOMP you coulda did what she did in your bathroom on a Friday night.
For Asian ladies, you're basically always winning and always losing with your hair. So many stereotypes are attached to it, both ultra-positive and somewhat negative—I think that's why I've thought so much about how to make mine different. The extent to which I've thought about hair has been richly documented by oral means (hehe), which basically means my friends and I have chit-chatted a lot. One friend suggested I ditch the sidesweep and go full on chunky straight bang. But for a long time, chunky straight bangs on an Asian woman signified FOBiness to me. It struck an image of someone who wasn't quite up on America yet, emphasizing her Asianness. I said this to her even though I had seen beautiful, decidedly "Western"-dressing Asian women with chic chunky bangs. I couldn't go through with it myself.
When I dyed my hair in high school, my friends told me I look Korean, because the stereotype is that Korean girls dye their hair lighter colors, not Chinese ones. And many Asians and Asian-Americans—not just women—will tell you that they try to fight looking so young for their age for various reasons. So I really can't cut it too short, lest I look too young. But what if I grow it out too long? Will that make me look young too? Basically hair has always been my biggest daily branding weapon. It's kind of a big deal.
Ultimately, you gotta hope that people look past your hair and see into your soul, or whatever Bono's saying these days. My wonderful co-blogger BC is finally moving past her own internal debate about hair this weekend and taking a risk by chopping her long hair off into a posh—and Posh Spice?—bob. She has literally been talking to me about this since freshman year of college, so I am very proud that she's finally going for it. On my end, finally snipping my obnoxiously long bangs into a chunky fringe was my personal hair branding change. It feels different, even if looks about the same.
And all things said, it's just hair. It'll grow out.

Mitt Romney may be incapable of delivering a knockout punch, but as long as he stays on his feet, he's nearly guaranteed to win on points.
Republican nomination battles used to be punch-out affairs -- win enough early primaries, and your opponent would be forced to quit because he couldn't raise enough money. But in the era of super-PACs, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum can stay in the race as long as their billionaire patrons, Sheldon Adelson and Foster Friess, keep writing checks. Ron Paul, meanwhile, has an army of idealistic supporters who pony up $50 each week that he keeps campaigning.
The three challengers all have good reason to stay in:

Dear Mr CIO, how is the year ahead planning program going so far? I know, sorry, it's a tough one. The deployment and integration of devices, mobile connectivity points, virtual cloud-based desktop services, security, Big Data, tablets, mini-tablets and micro-mini-tablets (don't worry, we made that last one up) all present a multiplicity of challenges.
The hyper-efficient CIO should look back on 2012 first and take stock of recent developments as the most prudent means of planning for 2013. Commonly agreed wisdom suggests that migration plans from XP to Windows 7 have now been put in place and (by and large) also been put into motion in most reasonably sized firms.
Corporate deployment of Windows 8 is of course still some way off, but that's okay because we're upgrading in the right direction for now.
The prudent CIO planner will also have the foresight to look beyond the so-called consumerization of IT and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon. Of course, they're not really phenomena as such - but let's live with the expressions as they are. These are arguably superficial trends whose impact is aggregated into the wider barometer of data production, manipulation, analysis and subsequent storage.
What will matter in the months ahead then?
Gartner says spending on devices will rise by over six percent in the year ahead to US$666 billion, so shouldn't this be shaping the core of every CIO's strategy? The answer is no, not really. Don't believe the device hype. This growth should not underpin the core rationale for developing IT strategy in 2013.
'Everything Data' Comes of Age
More important is "Everything Data," i.e., those chunks of Big Data created by the growing number of devices and also, quite crucially, The Internet of Things and its sensors, dials, reporting machinery and so on.
Although this so-called "Everything Data" emanating from the so-called "Internet of Things" sounds superficial at first, these are early days.
Yes the data produced by electronically enabled fridge-based shopping lists and computerized in-car entertainment systems are predominantly consumer created and consumer centric, but these are early days. As the digitization of the world around us continues to increase, so will the business-centric opportunities to analyze these digital assets and derive commercial value from them.
As a simple example here, consider the fact that all a firm's employees now have smartphones and location-aware tablets. As mobile working increases, the opportunity to formulate business plans based on who does what task when (and where) it opens up, as we now get to potentially analyze the minutiae of detail relating to employee actions.
So forget location-aware mobile devices and consider what the next generation of data will be telling us from the Internet of Things. Suddenly, knowing what our in-car computers might be saying to the back-end servers analyzing our driving behavior starts to sounds more like a business-centric economic regulator.
Extra Data DNA Charge
If these new flows of data prove as substantial, persistent and valuable as they have the potential to be, then CIOs will need to look to bring in and/or develop software applications that can support new and improved business processes that are capable of feeding on data from a greater number of sources.
You might describe this as "drinking from a fire hose" as software is now subjected to more and more information from a greater number of sources. It's almost like taking standard human being #ABC1 and pumping him or her with a supplementary charge of DNA.
We have the potential to compute more, know more and do more - but it will be equally easy to feel overwhelmed and suffer data indigestion if we do not plan for this now.
