What's this? A very special New Year's video? In Central Park??
Looks like Lokai and Sarya had some fun last night, and worked hard to make New Year's Eve magical- literally!
Hey AurorsArmy and Hellhounders! There's just two days to go until our biggest FanFriday yet. We can't EXACTLY tell you what is coming, but we can provide this SNAZZY new version of our teaser to hold you over. Check it out, now with original music by Glen Cheney!
Would a meet & greet party with some of the cast at a NYC venue be a good reward for backing us? Complete with photo opportunities, photo/poster signings, and a sneak peek perhaps? Let us know by liking this post or reblogging with your comments, including how much you would be willing to spend on that party. We might add this to the available Kickstarter rewards if we get enough interest.

At the start of World War I, production changed from suits to uniforms which clothed nearly a quarter of the armed forces. By 1929 Burton had four hundred shops, factories, and mills when the company went public.

Today's post is part of "Your Green Hour Survival Guide," a series which I hope will provide you with inspiration to make getting outside every day a habit.
This weekend we'll be hitting the road for our first notable car trip of the summer – a short trek to Las Vegas for a mini-family reunion.
And guess what? We won't be bringing along any digital support. That's right, no portable DVD players, handheld video games or the like are found on our road trips. Instead, we rely on each other and the world outside the car window for entertainment.
Just in time for summer (and the season of road trip adventures near and far), here are some of our favorite ways to get in some green time while we're in the car.
Watch for wildlife.
We routinely drive what we lovingly call "one of the longest stretches of nothingness" in California (Interstate 5 for those in the know) to visit family in the Bay area. On our last visit, we decided to pay attention to wildlife. In addition to a ton of cows, we also spotted horses, sheep and numerous different kinds of birds – all animals we don't get to see at home.
Look for new-to-you flowers and trees.
This works well along Interstate 5, which is covered with roadside crops. We try to guess what's growing on the ground and on the trees. Who can find the tallest, or fullest, tree? The most flowers?
Make handprints on the window.
This is a special treat for the kids because it's something they don't normally get to do. They especially like making handprints, sticks (to count with), cars and even words or names.
Play car window nature bingo.
Thanks to the folks at National Wildlife Federation for creating this nature-themed bingo game. Kids are inspired to look for birds, butterflies, bridges, flowers and more. There are four different cards, just in case the kids (or you) want to compete.
Take in nature during rest stops.
Little legs need stretching, so rest stops are a given. Use the opportunity to take a look around, or a listen, to see what nature you can discover. We've seen bunnies, heard owls – even spotted lightening in the far-off distance.
Do some cloud watching.
Look for animals, shapes, objects and whatever else your imagination can dream up. And ask questions: How fast are the clouds moving? Are they white, gray or black? Do they look heavy with rain or puffy like cotton?
Experience a sunset.
Sunset is a peaceful time – a time to slow down for the several minutes it takes to watch the sky go from day to evening. The last time we tried this, we all guessed how long it would take for the sky to go completely dark after the sun went down. The big explorer won.
Gaze at the moon & stars.
With few stars usually visible in the night sky from our backyard, this is one of our favorite road trip activities. We stare out the sky and try to name the constellations. We count the number of stars we see and pick out the biggest and brightest.
How do you tune in to nature when you're in the car?

American Apparel is known for making people upset with their super young hipster models in provocative poses. Never bothered me. The company's owner Dov Charney isn't exactly America's sweetheart -- don't like what I hear about Dov, but hey, people are weird. This is just fact. But what the company just did is oh so right no one should complain. Unless of course you aren't a fan of a 60-year-old showing us how flexible she is.
As the story goes, Jacky O'Shaughnessy was spotted by the folks at AA at a NYC restaurant and smitten with the silver fox, asked her to model. I don't blame them. She is kind of exactly what I'd like to look like when I get older. Healthy, aging gracefully, and with long gray hair, Jacky is now the new face of the brand's "Advanced Basics" line. Oh about that flexibility? Check this out ....
Oh hello, Jacky! She'll be 61 in December. She's old enough to be the grandmother of most of the American Apparel models. She's gorgeous. What's her secret for staying in amazing shape?!
This isn't the first bold move in the right direction for Charney. Most recently, the brand unveiled their first transgender model, so maybe this is part of some sort of restitution. Eh, I don't want to focus on the politics of it all. Let's get back to Jacky again.
I want this outfit. I want that lipstick. I want those legs! And no, she's never modeled before. Plucked from obscurity at 60 years old. Maybe this could be just what the company needs from going under as they were saved from bankruptcy for now but need to do something big. Something different. Something that gets buzz. Something that sells. Jacky may just be it.
What do you think of American Apparel's newest model?
Images via American Apparel
The fashion industry has always had a strange view of how to promote clothing and use their models, seeminly assuming we want to see weird and impossible as a motivation for buying their clothes. On the other hand weird and impossible looks pretty good here. At least it's eye-catching and motivational. Who knows what we'll be when we are 60, but most of us are long past 18 and don't plan to starve ourselves to fit into ridiculous looking clothing. This, though, I like!
I think the clothing looks horrible on her. But I guess it is a step up from the soft porn they usually use to sell their store. I see why they dress the young models so minimally. The clothes aren't exactly a draw.

Who is Kansas City Chiefs NT Dontari Poe?
Or perhaps, more accurately: who will he be?
Since the Chiefs drafted Poe last night, I've heard him compared to both Haloti Ngata and to Ryan Sims! One of these things is not like the other.
Maybe Poe is neither. Maybe, like Tyson Jackson, he won't be great or terrible. Maybe he'll just be solid.
It's early, but what the heck. Who do you think Dontari Poe is?

This was my 3rd Kenny Chesney concert. He just puts on an amazing show! He is a non-stop performer. There's a reason he has won Entertainer of the Year awards so often! I always have a blast going to his shows and they always feel like a big party. The place was rockin. Everyone was singing and dancing and no one sat down for even a minute. If that doesn't tell you it was a great show, then nothing will.
Some of my favorite Kenny songs are "Live a Little", "When the Sun Goes Down", "No Shoes No Shirt No Problems", "Anything But Mine", "Summer", "Woman with You", and "Beer in Mexico". There are so many great songs. It's hard to pick.

First time going to his concert and it was an awesome time. Wow! He really knows how to put on a great concert. I love the pic that has Kenny messing with his violinist's hair. He was having just as much fun as the audience was.

Look! Vintage Toolboxes to Organize Makeup
We've never had enough sink real-estate in the bathroom to store makeup. While we look wistfully in magazines at spacious double sinks with room for extra towels and lotions, the reality is that we keep makeup on a shelf across the room and then carry it over to the mirror to use. But after getting tired of rummaging through containers every morning, we found an idea that's portable, and keeps everything in its place...
The soft zippered cases we used to use are fine, but you need to take everything out, and they're hard to rummage through for that particular eyeliner. Plus, they're nothing to look at. So we settled on toolboxes which can hold a lot and can be stowed anywhere. We're certainly not the first to borrow these from carpenters — most makeup artists use special toolboxes with compartments that swivel out and lots of storage in the bottom. We don't need anything that fancy, but we like that toolboxes have a handle and can be tall enough so that small bottles stay upright and like-items can be kept together.
We like using vintage toolboxes and caddies, they're relatively easy to find at flea markets and tag sales, even ebay. But brand shiny new metal boxes look great (we love the striped one here!). And then you can buy just the right size/color for your bathroom. Fishing tackle boxes like the galvanized one above work as well- some even have compartments you could use for lipstick or makeup remover pads. AT ladies, how do you keep makeup organized?
>>>Some previous ApartmentTherapy posts with links to Toolboxes are here and here.

I use a train case similar to this one because I have a larger-than-usual makeup collection and I like having the dividers to keep things sorted and organized rather than just tossing it into any old box. Toolboxes and tackle boxes work just as well (though they're not quite as nice-looking). Brush rolls (here's an example) can also be used to store brushes if you prefer having things out of sight in a drawer. And little drawer units/boxes (like the IKEA Fira) are perfect for beauty storage as well.
I use a vintage wood seed carrier to hold larger jewelry. It has 4 big sections and works great for bracelets and bigger necklaces.
The only storage we have is in our linen closet in the hall outside our bathroom. The old bathroom had bulky shelves and a huge medicine cabinet. We tore it all out and just put up a simple mirror and glass shelf. So I organized the linen closet so we each have a basket of daily supplies we need to get ready and just carry it to the bathroom each morning, and I have pull out clear storage drawers for makeup, nail polish and hair accessories. For the lotion, perfume, and electric hair devices, since I have so many options, clear shoe containers. All perfectly organized and labeled.
I admit I get lazy and just use the hall mirror to get ready most of the time though :( So I just painted the hall a nice light sage color to get ready with.
I have a small wooden garden trug where I keep frequently used items out on the sink. The rustic look is a nice contrast in a modern bathroom.
I use a white basket
I just have a 'Hannah Montana' Pencil case some friends gave me for my birthday last year as a joke. It fits in our medicine cabinet just fine. (I don't wear a lot of make-up.)
Ewww I'm getting bugs in my eyes just thinking about this idea! And what is with the cabinet in the first pic? Looks like the place I lived in college, and I don't want to go back to that place...
I wish I had this kind of storage space! I like these ideas very much, but this is really one of those instances where using the editorial we sounds silly and inappropriate.
That top one is pretty unsanitary. Right beside the toilet - bacteria flies into the air when you flush. Maybe put it under the sink?
that's horrible...
I use a couple of antique tool carriers for the remote controls.
I don't use much make-up so it all fits in the small drawer on the vanity where the sink is.
The wooden one looks kind of neat but the metal looks bad.

Member since
It's made of merino wool but lined with "WindStopper" lining. Not sure what WindStopper lining is. Is it soft? I love wool hats, but they're scratchy so I always end up with cheap polyester stuff. Really prefer something that's mostly natural fibers.
Kate Williamson
Member since
The exterior is wool and on the interior, there is a Windstopper fleece band around the ears/forehead region. Windstopper is a highly wind-proof fleece so it will be warmer than just wool alone.
But also, this will help keep you forehead/ears from becoming itchy by contact with the wool.
Hope this helps.

It is washable. I personally usually wash things on the gentle cycle though just to be safe. As far as shrinkage, I've never really had any hats that I've washed really shrink at all.

But Reed didn't wear the same jersey Thursday or Friday. After Friday's practice, the receiver explained why.
- 3 questions with Ravens safety James Ihedigbo
- Ravens' Chykie Brown fined $15,000 for unnecessary roughness
- Bernard Pierce, Asa Jackson not at practice during early portion
- Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns [Pictures]
- 2014 Ravens cheerleaders [Pictures]
- Ravens 26, Pittsburgh Steelers 6 [Pictures]

In addition to showing some solidarity with a former teammate, Reed said he was wearing No. 83 to help the defense prepare for the Patriots' No. 83.
"I was being Wes Welker for the scout team," Reed said. "That's why I wore 83. But like I said, they gave me a hard time about it, so I haven't worn it anymore."
Reed was deactivated for the team's 38-35 double-overtime win against Denver in last Saturday's AFC Divisional round due to lingering issues with his hamstring, but he declared himself ready to return for Sunday's contest.
"I rested it, got a lot of treatment on it," he said. "It's definitely better. So I'll be out there."

russia has been a really loud jabro lately. they are literally crucifying gays over there. da commy is all about the ladies but as a human it pains me to see any group summarily discriminated against due to their biology or orientation, black or white, on the left or rght (maybe not so much if the "victims" are called tea partiers but i digress... go BOEHNER!). . mandela wouldnt stand for it, y should the leader of the progressive wing of the d-party not also take a stand?
another epic moment for him. enough said without saying a thing. would b like sending al sharpton to a country beefing with brothas or sending the guy who sang billie jean to a country cracking down on effeminate males... it wouldnt shock me if at the closing ceremony there is a 3 minute liplock featuring bille jean king and her wifey. lets see how putin likes that!

America Asks About Heartburn & GERD
Heartburn Worry: Serious or Not?
Is There Anything Besides Eating That Leads to Heartburn?
Besides eating a heavy meal, heavy lifting can cause heartburn, says Galier. So can exercise. And lying flat, especially after eating a big meal, can lead to heartburn, too.
People who are overweight or obese are more likely to suffer, Eisen says, noting that some people think only obesity raises heartburn risk. He also points out that pregnant women can suffer heartburn. He says that's probably because elevated levels of the hormone progesterone cause a temporary weakness in the LES.
What's "Normal" With Heartburn?
"Heartburn should never be considered normal," says Galier. Food is often the culprit. People with heartburn typically may be sensitive to foods such as chocolate, carbonated beverages, peppermint, coffee, citrus foods, fried and fatty foods, and spicy foods.
Having heartburn more than occasionally can reduce your quality of life. It can affect not just what you eat, but how you sleep and what activities you do.
And if heartburn from acid reflux persists and you don't get treatment, complications can occur. They include damaging inflammation of the esophagus that affects the lining and causes bleeding. Another potential complication is Barrett's esophagus. With Barrett's esophagus the cells that line the esophagus become abnormal. That, in turn, boosts the risk of esophageal cancer.
When Should Someone See a Doctor About Heartburn?
Galier says if you are reaching for antacids more days than not, you should see your doctor.
Eisen considers heartburn "occasional" if it occurs once a week or less. He says it's time to seek medical help if you have had heartburn more than once a week for six months or longer more and are not getting better.
How Does the Doctor Evaluate Heartburn?
Your doctor may order several different tests and take the following steps to evaluate persistent heartburn that hasn't gone away even after you modify factors such as your diet:
- Your doctor may ask for an EKG to help rule out heart-related problems.
- Your doctor will perform an examination to see if you have any abdominal
mass or a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the
stomach and the LES move above the diaphragm.
- Your doctor will check your blood pressure.
- Your doctor will take a careful medical history to see if medications are causing the problem.
- Your doctor may ask for a gastric emptying study to see how fast food goes out of your stomach or a test to show how well the esophagus and the LES work.
- Your doctor may refer you for an upper endoscopy. In this test, a flexible tube with a tiny camera helps the doctor assess the esophagus and look for damage or abnormalities.

Conservative in a Sea of Liberals: Detroit Film Critics Society Picks Winners
By Debbie Schlussel
As I've noted before, I'm a member of the Detroit Film Critics Society. Every major city has one of these and each votes on the year's best movies, actors, etc. And as in most, there are few conservatives. As far as I know, I'm the only one in the DFCS, which is dominated by liberals. As a member, I'm required to publicize this year's choices, even though I don't agree with most of them. Loved "Slumdog Milllionaire," except for the brief Islamic propaganda part, and thought Mickey Rourke did an excellent job in a thoroughly depressing "The Wrestler." Here are the picks (with my reviews of some films linked in bold). Compare 'em with my original choices/nominations. I'll try to have my list of the years best and worst movies posted tomorrow. Stay tuned.
* Best Film: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
* Best director: DANNY BOYLE – SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
* Best Actor: MICKEY ROURKE – THE WRESTLER
* Best Actress: KATE WINSLET – REVOLUTIONARY ROAD [DS: Hated this left-wing attack on American suburbs and capitalism. I voted for Melissa Leo in "Frozen River" (about an illegal alien smuggler and the consequences), with Meryl Streep in "Doubt" as my second choice.]
* Best Supporting Actor: HEATH LEDGER – THE DARK KNIGHT [DS: I voted for Robert Downey, Jr. in "Tropic Thunder," with Ledger as my second choice of the available nominees.]
* Best Supporting Actress: MARISA TOMEI – THE WRESTLER [DS: I don't generally like to vote for actresses who go topless and play strippers. I voted for Amy Adams in "Doubt," with Tomei as my second choice, only because there weren't many choices.]
* Best Ensemble: FROST/NIXON [DS: Didn't like this propaganda movie. I voted for "Burn After Reading."]
* Best Newcomer: MARTIN MCDONAGH – IN BRUGES (WRITER/DIRECTOR) [DS: I hated this movie. I voted for Dev Patel, the star of "Slumdog Millionaire."]
Again, stay tuned for my own list of the best and worst movies of the year, which will be markedly different from this list.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – An appeals court in Wausau will decide today whether a man convicted of killing his estranged wife and her friend in 1996 is eligible to challenge an appeal.
Da Vang filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in March 2009, claiming that an appellate judge illegally took part in an appeal even though the judge's wife had represented one of Vang's murder victims in a divorce.
Marathon County circuit court Judge Greg Huber denied Vang's petition because it raised a claim that was previously decided by both the appeals and state Supreme Courts.
At issue is appellate Judge Michael Hoover's role in Vang's appeal of a January 2000 circuit court decision denying his motion for post-conviction relief. Hoover ruled the motion was to be considered under one statute versus another, then recused himself before the appeals court upheld the lower court's decision.
Today's ruling may only involve two of the three appellate judges. It is unclear whether Hoover, who is the presiding judge, will recuse himself because the case involves him. The ruling will come via a summary disposition – a short order giving the decision and reasons but not analyzing the law.
Depending on the outcome, Vang could ask that the Supreme Court review the appeal.
Vang's case is one of the more notorious ones in recent history.
An out-of-county jury convicted Vang of shooting his 24-year-old estranged wife, Jia Yang, and her 25-year-old friend, Voua Lo Kiatoukaysi, in the head after dropping off two of the couple's four children at Yang's Wausau apartment on January 28, 1996. The now 42-year-old Vang is serving two life prison terms without a chance for parole.
Prosecutors believe Vang killed because he was jealous of his wife and couldn't deal with their impending divorce.

I'll be honest, and I know this is unpopular, I'm getting kind of annoyed with the frequency that I see requests for financial assistance on tumblr.
Before you get all pissed at me let me state - I am not saying any one specific request is more worthy than another. But, it does seem that initially these requests came when people were in dire straits - custody battles, job losses, etc. Now, I feel like every other day I see a teenager on tumblr with a paypal account looking for help to buy a new tire.
Again, I'm not saying that those people do not have the right to get the money for necessities in whatever way they see fit. And I can absolutely relate to having very little to no money and feeling stuck. I guess the thing for me is this - the more I see posts like this coming through, the less inclined I am to take any of them seriously.
It's not that I see some requests as frivolous, but I do have my doubts about how dire some of the situations are. Additionally, internet scammers lurk everywhere and I'd hate to see people using tumblr as a place to prey upon the good intentions of some in this online space. That may not have happened yet, but with the frequency of the requests, it's getting harder and harder to tell.
I don't know, that's just me. Unfollow if you feel so compelled. It's Friday, I'm cranky and a rant was overdue.
Happy 80's Friday! This Friday marks my final day at the job where I've worked for three years. I'm sharing this song today so that Monday morning you can all imagine me walking into my new job with this song as the soundtrack!
Enjoy your weekend, may you find s/he who you're looking for.
Happy 80's Friday! May your parents go away on a week vacation and leave you the keys to the Porsche.
(And Leslie Knope's version…of course.)
It's 80's friday time again…I neglected this blog all week. Gah! Next week. There will be posts. And they will be awesome. For now, Happy 80's Friday…may you keep the sheriff's posse off your tail…
(Sorry for the lame vid…it was the best youtube option…I spared you from some really lame fan vids…)
Happy 80's Friday. I hope someone pays attention to your dreams…and plugs your ears when you scream*
(*In the interest of full disclosure I wanted to use Just What I Needed, but alas, it was 1978.)
Happy 80's Friday, may you run away from the work week with grace!
Happy 80's Friday. I hope you find the one you need.
Happy 80's Friday. May your broken wings be mended (and you re-gain the gift of flight) this Valentine's Day.
Happy 80's Friday. Go. Dance with somebody. Somebody that loves you. (Also, if you don't dance, enjoy the karaoke video.)
Happy 80's Friday. Have a lovely long weekend.

it's that time of year again
i guess i only ever turn to tumblr when i'm facing some real srs emotional turmoil because, well, i can't rant on facebook and i don't have a best friend to talk to and i dont use tumblr for anything else anymore so
would have really rather not seeing naked pictures of my sister and her boyfriend all over facebook not gonna lie
I hate this feeling, where it feels like i can't breathe and i can't function and my head is cloudy and i think everyone hates me
I wish i didnt get so anxious over literally THE smallest things. It ruins me
I read your paragraphs inspired by Gatsby, just as you asked, and in those moments i don't think i have ever felt so much regret between two people who forced themselves to leave the other. I miss you far more than i should.
but why doh
I CANT BELIEVE YOU DITCHED US but yay you're back but THEN YOURE GOING AWAY AGAIN? one does not simply STOP TUMBLING.

China and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) adopted a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties (DOC) in the South China Sea (SCS) in November 2002, laying a political foundation for the discussion of commercial cooperation as well as long-term peace and stability in the region. Though the DOC has been criticized for a number of weaknesses (e.g. neither a binding treaty, nor a formal code of conduct), its signing had helped keep the SCS relatively quiet for several years, at least prior to 2009. Yet, tensions have been on the rise in the past two years. In addition to competing territorial claims from different parties, the United States is now also playing a role that Beijing sees as an effort to re-assert Washington's role in the regional strategic mix. The race to control the disputed islands by relevant parties is fuelled by the concern of China's rise, yet Beijing perceives a tightening rope led by Washington in containing its traditional claims in the region.
Troubled Waters in the South China Sea
Since 2009, several major developments have stirred controversy in the SCS and highlighted the difficulties of maintaining stability in the region. These include the Territorial Sea Baseline Bill passed by the Philippines Congress in mid-February 2009, laying claim to Scarborough Shoal (sovereignty claimed by China) and a number of islands in the SCS; a joint submission by Malaysia and Vietnam; and a separate submission by Vietnam to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the continental Shelf (CLCS). These extended continental shelf submissions underscore existing disputes that have added an extra dimension to the claims.
The tension in the SCS has continued to escalate this year with a series of events. In May, Vietnam and China accused each other over the "cable cutting" event. In June, Vietnam held live-fire exercises in the SCS amid high tensions with China over disputed waters. Standoffs have also taken place between Chinese and Philippine vessels. In March, two Chinese maritime surveillance ships reportedly ordered a Philippine survey ship away from an area called Reed Bank, followed by the Philippines sending military aircraft to the area. Starting from May, the Philippines Navy has removed foreign marker posts that were placed on reefs and banks, part of the much-disputed Spratly group of islands. The Philippines was renaming the South China Sea as the "West Philippine Sea" as tensions with Beijing mounted over the disputed area.
China's "Core Interest" vs. US's "National Interest"
Amid these tensions, the United States increased its presence in the region, resulting in a series of U.S.-Sino spats over the SCS dispute. In March 2010, as first reported by the Japanese and followed by U.S. media, Chinese officials told two visiting senior Obama administration officials that China would not tolerate any interference in the SCS, now part of China's "core interest" of sovereignty. In July 2010, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a statement at the 10th ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) that disputes over the highly sensitive SCS were a "leading diplomatic priority" and "pivotal to regional security."
This backdrop contributed to increasing concern in Beijing where Clinton's statement was seen as a signal that the United States had changed its neutral position on the SCS dispute to now back other claimant states, particularly Vietnam. In a Sino-U.S. workshop on the SCS in Hawaii 2010, some scholars from think tanks like RAND, Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies and Center for Naval Analysis argued that Clinton's remarks may be in response to what many U.S. media reported on China's statement in March when Beijing defined the SCS as one of its "core interests."
At the same time, the concern of the international community is that the Chinese, for the first time, labelled the SCS a "core interest," on par with its interests in Taiwan and Tibet. Chinese scholars argue that China never publicly declared a "South China Sea = core interest" policy; it came first from Japanese media and was followed by U.S. journalists, serving as the subtext for the "U.S.-defends-freedom-of-navigation-in-the-South-China-Sea" story. Zhu Feng, a Chinese political scientist, clarified that Chinese officials did use the term "core interest," but the original text that "the peaceful resolution of the South China Sea is the core interest of Chinese government," was misinterpreted by the media.
Perception Gaps Continue to Widen
Many Chinese military officers and scholars have challenged Clinton's call of "freedom of navigation in the sea" being a U.S. "national interest." A high-ranking Chinese military officer argued that freedom of navigation was never a problem in that region. Liu Jiangyong, an Asia-Pacific studies specialist at Beijing's Tsinghua University, said he did not see any sense in people worrying about, or interfering, in matters that did not concern them. Wang Hanling, a specialist in maritime law at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that China has never interfered in the normal activities of any ship crossing the SCS or any aircraft flying over it, especially for commercial use: "What the U.S. calls 'national interest' is not freedom of navigation but rather its presence in the Western Pacific, or military superiority and political influence, to be more specific." His comment stands for that of the majority of Chinese scholars.
The contesting U.S. and Chinese views on "freedom of navigation" have resulted in several incidents in the EEZs of the Asia-Pacific region. A confrontation between U.S. Navy survey vessel Bowditch and a Chinese frigate in China's EEZ occurred in March 2001, followed by the April 2001 collision between a U.S. EP3 surveillance plane and a Chinese jet fighter over China's EEZ, the most recent "Impeccable Incident." Disagreements between the United States and China, and between coastal states and user states in general, on interpretations of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea provisions generally relate to the exact presumed meaning of terms in the convention, as well as the meaning of specific articles. For example, there are specific differences with regard to the meaning of "freedom" of navigation and over flight in and above the EEZ, i.e., whether such freedoms can be limited by certain regulations — national, regional or international — or whether such freedoms are absolute.
Beijing expressed concern over the United States' increasing engagement in the SCS, adding that it opposes the internationalization of the maritime issue. China holds that the SCS issue is a dispute over sovereignty about territory and maritime rights between the relevant countries, and not an issue between China and the ASEAN, nor a regional or international issue. Some U.S. scholars argue that China's opposition to the "internationalisation" of the SCS issue is tantamount to an attempt to de-internationalise an international sea. They argue that once the South China Sea has been de-internationalised, China can bring its strength to bear on Southeast Asian countries and impose its own rules on these waters, rather than internationally accepted ones from international law.
In a workshop on U.S.-China relations on SCS issues in September 2010, some Chinese scholars tried to clarify the interpretation of the "bilateral approach" which China always insists on in solving conflict with relevant states. China clearly prefers to solve island sovereignty and maritime delimitation matters through direct negotiation with the countries involved. On non-traditional security issues, such as safety and security of sea lanes, anti-piracy, and marine environmental protection, China is more open to multilateral approaches of cooperation. One example is the DOC signed in 2002 and other regional agreements with ASEAN.
Gap bridged with Tension Easing
There are some signs that the SCS tension is starting to ease. In June, representatives of China and Vietnam met in Beijing and agreed to "peacefully" resolve their maritime territorial disputes. On July 21, China and ASEAN adopted the implementing guidelines of the DOC which is considered by China to be significant for China-ASEAN relations. The United States, also welcomed the agreement, praising China and ASEAN for defusing recent tensions.
Whether the guidelines will bridge the US-China gap still remains unclear. Despite the guidelines being applauded as laying a solid foundation for practical cooperation in the area and stepping further towards a code of conduct, there is still debate among the claimant states. The Philippines criticized the guidelines as lacking "teeth". It seems China has yielded to agreeing to multilateral discussions on the SCS issue. However, under closer scrutiny, China hasn't stepped back from its position on dealing bilaterally with territorial disputes on the SCS-the sovereignty issue was not mentioned in the guidelines; instead they cover functional affairs about cooperation in SCS in areas like marine technological research, rescue, and anti-pirate efforts. While the guidelines will likely help reduce tensions in the region for the time being, the rules fail to address core conflicts between China and the Southeast Asian claimants. This is not what the United States would like to see given its recent gesture of offering to mediate among the claimant states. In addition, the major difference between China and the United States - whether military activities are legitimated - will still hamper their relationship and will no doubt eventually have a great impact on the Asia-Pacific security framework.
When Will China Clarify its Claim?
Among all these debates on "core interest", "freedom of navigation" and "internationalization", the "U-shape line" remains the most controversial and ambiguous issue between China and other claimant states. Beijing has not made any official declaration about the international and national legal values of the discontinuous dotted line. Before the Chinese government defined the U-shaped line's legal status, Chinese scholars offered different or even contradictory explanations about the dotted line's legal value at many international conferences. When China clarifies its claim is of great concern for not only other claimant states but for the whole international community. Indeed, it has become a nagging problem for Chinese foreign policy makers.
Though Washington proposes to mediate among the claimant states for resolution of the SCS dispute, Beijing opposes its internalization. It insists on a bilateral approach over sovereignty and maritime delimitation, and an open multilateral approach in some areas such as non-traditional security. The approach of ASEAN as a collective unit to negotiate with China does not apparently have consensus within ASEAN itself, given that apart from the four member states with overlapping claims with China, other ASEAN members may not risk ruining their relations with China. Above all, the most important and urgent agenda in this increasingly messy picture is when and how China will clarify its claim over the SCS.

What is Measure of Academic Progress (MAP)?MAP— NWEA's computerized adaptive tests are called Measure of Academic Progress, or MAP. When taking a MAP test, the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions. As the student answers correctly, questions become more difficult. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions become easier. In an optimal test, a student answers approximately half the items correctly and half incorrectly. The final score is an estimate of the student's achievement level.
What are computerized adaptive tests? Computerized adaptive tests are test taken on a computer. The difficulty of a test is adjusted to the student's performance so each student sees different test questions. The difficulty of each question is based on how well the student has answered the questions up to that point. As the student answers correctly, the questions become more difficult. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions become easier.
What subjects does MAP assess? MAP include math, reading, and language assessments.
How long does it take to complete a test? Although the tests are not timed, it usually takes students about one hour to complete each test.
When will my student be tested and how often? Districts have the option of testing their students up to four times a year. Districts typically test students at the beginning of the school year in fall and at the end of the school year in spring. Some districts may also choose to test students in winter and summer.
Do all students in the same grade take the same test? No. NWEA assessments are designed to target a student's academic performance in math, language usage, and reading. These tests are tailored to an individual's current achievement level. This gives each student a fair opportunity to show what he or she knows and can do. If a school uses MAP, the computer adjusts the difficulty of the questions so that each student takes a unique test.
What are NWEA assessments used for? NWEA assessments are used to measure your student's progress or growth in school. You may have a chart in your home on which you mark your child's height at certain times, such as on his or her birthday. This is a growth chart. It shows how much he or she has grown from one year to the next. NWEA assessments do the same sort of thing, except they measure your student's growth in reading, language usage, and math skills. The scale used to measure your child's progress is called the RIT scale (Rasch unIT). The RIT scale is an equal-interval scale much like feet and inches on a yardstick. It is used to chart your student's academic growth from year to year.
How do teachers use the test scores? NWEA tests are important to teachers because they keep track of progress and growth in basic skills. They let teachers know where a student's strengths are and if help is needed in any specific areas. Teachers use this information to help them guide instruction in the classroom.
What can parents do to help their students prepare for testing? Please see the Tips for Parents section for helpful information.
What is a RIT? Tests developed by NWEA use a scale called RIT to measure student achievement and growth. RIT stands for Rasch UnIT, which is a measurement scale developed to simplify the interpretation of test scores. The RIT score relates directly to the curriculum scale in each subject area. It is an equal-interval scale, like feet and inches, so scores can be added together to calculate accurate class or school averages. RIT scores range from about 150 to 300. Students typically start at the 150 to 190 level in the third grade and progress to the 240 to 300 level by high school. RIT scores make it possible to follow a student's educational growth from year to year.
What are Percentiles? Percentile rank—The percentile rank is a normative statistic that indicates how well a student performed in comparison to the students in the norm group. The most recent norm sample was a group of approximately 1,000,000 students from across the United States. A student's percentile rank indicates that the student scored as well as, or better than, the percent of students in the norm group. In other words, a student with a percentile rank of 72 scored as well as, or better than 72% of the students in the norm group.
What are Standards? Standards—Standards are statements, developed by states or districts, of what students should know and be able to do, related to specific academic areas. The MAP test is aligned to MN Standards.
MAP for Primary Grades
What is MAP for Primary Grades? MAP for Primary Grades is a diagnostic and computerized adaptive assessments in Reading and Mathematics specifically designed for early learners, Pre-K through second grade.
What kind of assessments does MAP for Primary Grades provide? The assessments available in the MAP for Primary Grades system include Prerequisite (diagnostic) tests, Skills Checklist (diagnostic) tests, and Survey with Goals (adaptive) tests in Reading and Mathematics.
How does using MAP for Primary Grades benefit teachers and students?
- The assessments provide teachers with an efficient way to assess achievement levels of early learners so they can spend more time teaching and less time administering individual diagnostic tests.
- It provides information to guide instruction during the early stages of a student's academic career. Early learners enter school with a wide variety of educational experiences. Early identification of achievement levels is foundational for teachers establishing an environment for early academic success.
- The assessments help to identify the needs of all primary grades students, from struggling to advanced learners.
- They utilize engaging test items that encourage student participation for more accurate results.
What features does Map for Primary Grades have that make it a unique kind of assessment? MAP for Primary Grades tests meet the unique needs of early learners by utilizing advanced technology to display interactive visuals and audio for beginning readers. For example, the computer automatically plays audio instructions to the student, eliminating the challenges of early learners who cannot read. Students are able to use a mouse to perform an action.
What do the Prerequisite Tests measure?
- The foundational skills of letter and number understanding.
- Letter recognition, sounds, and concept of print
- Concepts of numbers
What does the Skills Checklist measure?
- Student assessment beyond the Prerequisite test and are used to inform instruction.
- Specific Skills Checklist tests based on the desired content focus and sequence.
- Phonological awareness (two tests) and phonics (five tests).
- Number sense (four tests) and computation (five tests).
How do the Survey with Goals Tests work?
- Adapt to the student's performance level.
- Provide both an overall RIT score and goal score ranges to aid in the identification of a student's instructional levels.
- Allow academic growth to be measured beginning as early as pre-kindergarten through the high school years.
What do the Survey with Goals Tests measure?
- Phonological awareness, phonics, concepts of print , vocabulary, word structure, comprehension and writing.
- Problem solving, number sense, computation measurement ,geometry, statistics, probability and algebra.

Cults: A Sold Out Evening At Metro
A cold and windy evening in Chicago is always a great reason to take shelter and spend time on an indoor activity. One of our favorite indoor pastimes, as you may already know, is to take in a good show at one of Chicago's 341 music venues. It's honestly quite an array of musical genres on any given evening. On this particular night, the trusty Shure mobile lead us to the Metro, where we planned to see Cults and their brand of indie rock at a sold out show with Mrs. Magician and Spectrals. Walking into the Metro is always …

I'd Like To Introduce You To Dawes
Maybe you aren't familiar with this Los Angeles based four-piece, but I've got a feeling you may find them to be quite infectious. With an intriguingly vintage folk rock sound and the musical chops reminiscent of their veteran folk rock predecessors, this group of twenty-somethings is, as told to me several times throughout the evening, the real deal. On a rainy early evening at Metro Chicago, I caught the guys from Dawes during load-in and soundcheck. Needless to say, they were pretty happy with their new-found microphone situation on stage. Later on that evening, I …

Bill to protect certain school subjects vetoed
Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed legislation Tuesday that would have thrown an additional hurdle in the path of schools seeking to trim courses in arts, music, physical education and vocational education.
Bill to protect certain school subjects vetoed
Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed legislation Tuesday that would have thrown an additional hurdle in the path of schools seeking to trim courses in arts, music, physical education and vocational education.
Rep. Mark Anderson, R-Mesa, said he is concerned that schools, facing new demands to teach more math and science, are opting to drop various nonacademic programs. He thinks that is a bad idea, saying there is evidence that students who enroll in these classes do better academically.
As originally crafted, Anderson's bill would have barred schools from dropping those courses unless they could prove to the state Board of Education that they were suffering a financial emergency.
Facing opposition, he agreed to let the local boards drop the courses — but only after a public hearing.
Napolitano said that's the way school boards already make decisions, calling his measure "both unnecessary and redundant." Anderson, however, said that's not how things are done now.
He said his legislation would make it clear that the board, while still free to cut the courses, would have to do it in public and potentially risk voter wrath.
Day laborer measure gets preliminary OK
The Senate gave preliminary approval Tuesday to a measure to expand the crime of trespass to include people standing on or near public streets looking for work.
Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, acknowledged that his measure is aimed at day laborers, people who congregate near home improvement stores and business areas in hopes of getting hired for odd jobs.
But, he said, it does not specifically target illegal immigrants. He said HB2412 is a public safety measure, noting that people could be arrested only if they disrupt vehicle or pedestrian traffic while soliciting employment.
The measure, which has already been approved by the House, still needs a final roll-call vote before going to Gov. Janet Napolitano.
The governor has previously vetoed similar legislation but would not comment Tuesday about whether the new version is any more acceptable.
Measure allows some felons to carry weapon
The Senate gave preliminary approval Tuesday to allowing some people who have been convicted of felonies to get a state permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Arizona does not currently grant permits to those with felony convictions in any state.
HB2634 creates an exception if the conviction has been expunged, set aside or otherwise vacated, or if the person has had his civil rights restored and is allowed to carry a gun under federal law.
The House has already approved similar language.

MONTREAL - Another year, another CFL top defensive player honour for Cameron Wake.
The B.C. Lions defensive end was named the CFL's outstanding defensive player Thursday at the league's awards banquet for the second straight year. Defensive tackle Doug Brown of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was the finalist.
Voting for the award was conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada as well as the eight CFL head coaches.
Wake, who was also named the CFL's top rookie last year, enjoyed a stellar sophomore season. After recording a league-best 16 sacks in 2007, the six-foot-three, 260-pound Wake was a quarterback's nightmare in '08 with a league-high 23 sacks, accounting for a third of the Lion's overall total of 68.
He also had five forced fumbles - a league high - and recorded 65 tackles.
Wake has been an amazing story in the CFL, joining the Lions as an unheralded free agent and being converted from linebacker - the position he played at Penn State - into the league's top pass rusher.
But it's unlikely Wake will be back for a third CFL season. He's entering into the option year of his contract with the Lions, giving him a window to sign an NFL contract in the off-season. Wake's success in Canada has garnered him plenty of interest south of the border, making it very likely he will sign a lucrative NFL deal during that time.
Brown, 34, has a solid season with Winnipeg, recording six sacks and 43 tackles. But this marks the third straight year Brown has been an award finalist, finishing second to B.C. slotback Jason Clermont and Lions defensive end Brent Johnson for the CFL's top Canadian trophy.
Brown was named the CFL's top Canadian in 2001.

Coconut Oil: 10 Uses for this Miracle Elixir ;)
I discovered the many incredible benefits of coconut oil a few months back and I really wanted to share them with you guys. I'm amazed I spent 26 years not reaping the benefits of this incredible oil!
You want to get coconut oil that is:
- Virgin. Or Extra-Virgin, if you don't mind coconut scent and flavor.
- Organic. Not grown with pesticides or foreign chemicals.
- Unrefined. Unfiltered, no additives; pure. The only ingredient on the label should be coconut oil.
- Cold-Pressed is ideal, as it preserves delicate oils and nuances. I use expeller-pressed because that's what my grocer carries and it's working fine for me.
Here are the things I love about coconut oil!
- Weight loss. Really. The medium-chain fatty acids help dissolve body fat. Additionally, its exothermic properties can actually raise your core temperature a bit, which accelerates metabolism. You know me, I'm a big fan of increased metabolism. Check my green tea blog as an example: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/McKayMachina/view/to-green-tea-or-not-to-green-tea-80721
- Appetite Suppression. I've been known to consume straight coconut oil (and foods cooked in coconut oil) before festivals and other events in order to quell my appetite so I don't spend money or calories on iffy foods. It works every time. If you're just starting out, take one teaspoon by mouth in the morning on an empty stomach. You can increase this to up to two tablespoons slowly over the course of several weeks. Do not jump right into the max dose or your tummy will be mad at you.
- Hair conditioner. I'm not an all-natural-obsessed hippie (sorry, hippies - I ♥ you!). But I have been using coconut oil exclusively in place of conditioner for the last four months and I will never go back. It makes my hair look and feel amazing. It's actually stronger and shinier now. I save no less than $200 per year on conditioner. A little bit goes a long way! I scoop a bit onto the back of my thumbnail, liquefy it in my hands and apply from ends to roots (without actually applying to the scalp). It's glorious.
- Teeth whitening. Yes, you can whiten your teeth dramatically using coconut oil. I've always had relatively white teeth but now they are freakishly so. It's great! No one believes I don't get them professionally whitened. It takes a few weeks but the natural results are worth the wait. Once per week, every Monday, I do oil-pulling using coconut oil. Oil-pulling has many benefits, one of which is whitening your teeth. Basically, swish half a tablespoon of oil around in your mouth, through your teeth, through every nook and cranny, for up to 20 minutes. Spit out ALL the oil and brush your teeth normally afterward. Easy!
- General health of teeth and bones. Coconut oil facilitates calcium absorption by the body. It also stops tooth decay. No dentures for you!
- General overall body health. Benefits include boosting immunity, healing bruises and skin infections, Kills viruses that cause influenza, measles, hepatitis, herpes, SARS. Kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat and urinary tract infections, pneumonia, gonorrhea. It's also effective on fungi and yeast responsible for causing ringworm, athlete's foot and diaper rash.
- Skin moisturizer. Before bed, scoop some oil onto your thumb nail and liquefy between your palms. Smooth over skin. Repeat as necessary on all body parts in need of moisturization. Cover all oiled parts with clothing so as not to oil up your bed linens. This means long-sleeves and pants for me sometimes. I shower at all different times of the day and the oil is totally absorbed by morning. I tend to moisturize only certain areas daily but make sure to do a full-body oil-down once per week. Feels great and, for me, eliminates the need for body creams. And I live in über-dry Arizona so that's saying something!
- Healthier cooking oil. I love cooking with coconut oil. Its calorie count is identical to extra-virgin olive oil but its neutral flavor lends to a more expansive array of foods. And it's great for baking!
- Saturated fats for improved digestion. The saturated fats present in coconut oil have antimicrobial properties that help deal with bacteria, fungi and parasites that cause indigestion and other tummy troubles. Also helps prevent constipation. Always a good thing. ;p
- Higher smoke point. I make my homemade popcorn with coconut oil and it's wonderful: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/McKayMachina/view/under-100-calorie-easy-yummy-homemade-popcorn-86922
These 10 things really are the tip of the iceberg. Coconut oil goes SUCH a long way. I employ it for all these uses and more and am JUST NOW finishing my first 14-oz. jar! At $8 per jar, I can say it's WELL worth it.
Coconut oil. Get some! :D
* I've gleaned all this information from a wide variety of sources over the last several months. There is TONS of info about coconut oil benefits online. I urge you to ask me questions and I will answer them as best as I can...or do your own online search. There's so much great info available! :)
