State of the Union Address Tag Cloud
I thought we posted on this last year. Jason Griffey takes The State of the Union address and remixes the top 75 words into a tag cloud. Now that he's done it two years in a row, it could be an interesting look at the state of affairs over the last two years.

My Secret Shame (best of twitter 1-30-08)
Well not so secret anymore- here are some interesting quotes I pulled from Twitter* today. They are at a conference and may be quoting others so please excuse any misattributions.
Perhaps we should define digital fluency not in terms of *being* (what I am) but in terms of *doing* (what I can do, and habitually do).
I liked it because it puts the onus on the individual to "do" what they need to do, not hide behind nonsense like "being" digital immigrants. Now, to what extent does what you "do" impact who you are? Are they the same? Does it matter?
On training vs. education: would you want your child to have sex education or sex training?
That echoes my hatred for the word trainer at my old job and the idea of getting together to have "trainings" for teachers. I tended to start what I called conversations with "This is not a training. You are not seals . . . "
Great line from Glenda Morgan: Jesuit approach to faculty development. We don't want their projects; we want their souls!
Exactly, but you can/should expect people to be careful with their souls and less careful with projects. Are projects the route to faculty souls? (Is the love of money the root of all evil? What are laws if they ain't fair and equal?) I'm not sure, but I don't think so. It might happen occasionally but I think it'll fail the same way a lot of "help" fails. Sure, things are great when you're around and doing stuff for me but when you're gone nothing has changed.
It's beyond the teach a man to fish metaphor. It's like convincing a man he really ought to think more deeply about fishing and then we'll talk about your fishing skills and what types of fish you might want to catch, then will work on those skills, do some fishing, evaluate what fish you caught vs what techniques you used and . . .
"We're done?" the man asks hopefully. . . .
"Nope." You reply "It's cyclical. Why don't we think about fishing again?"
Somehow I don't think that's quite as catchy but it's closer to reality (probably even for fishing- which is neither simple nor constant).
br> br>
*I'm not advocating for twitter, I'm still debating it. Today was certainly a good day. I don't see much use for it in the K12 classroom, maybe college (not saying there isn't any, just haven't seen anything decent- prove me wrong). I do see how it can be useful for communities of people interested in the same things.
My wife loves it and uses it to stay in touch with friends all over the country. It has become an asynchronous ichat for people who don't have time to call one another b/c of children, work, play, etc.
Interactive Introduction to the Human Body
National Geographic has an amazing interactive look at the brain, heart, digestive system, lungs and skin. You can stimulate the brain with a variety of inputs and see what part of the brain reacts. The heart can be "put through the paces", the digestive system fed, and the skin aged. You can even trigger an asthma attack in the lungs. Each section looks at anatomy, function, and ills. This could be the centerpiece of some great student-centered exploration in a health or science class.

A Fruitful Approach to Skin Cancer
There's good, potentially fragrant, news for the more than 1 million people who've had skin cancer and don't want to see it return. According to a recent study in the Journal of Medicinal Food, extracts from the seeds of pomegranates may protect skin from damage caused by the sun.
To mimic the effects of excessive sun, researchers doused 60 mice with a chemical called TPA. After the mice developed cancer—the less dangerous basal and squamous cell types as well as melanoma —the researchers slathered half of them with pomegranate seed oil twice a week for 20 weeks. At the end of the study, the pomegranate-treated mice were 7 percent less likely to get cancer than the untreated mice. And the treated mice that did get cancer had 25 percent fewer tumors than the control group.
"In India, people think the pomegranate is God's given fruit," says lead researcher Chandrahar Dwivedi, a pharmacologist at South Dakota State University in Brookings. Certain cancer-fighting antioxidants, called polyphenols, may account for its powers, he says.
Pomegranate seed oil is available at health food stores, but it's quite sticky. Until someone comes up with a more user-friendly alternative, there's no harm in simply eating more pomegranates. "I've been eating them since
I was a child," says Dwivedi, "and so far, I don't have skin cancer."

Bathroom Colors That Work with Original Stained Glass?
Good Questions
Q: I am normally inspired when it comes to decorating my 1904 Denver Square. But as I anticipate remodeling the master bedroom, I don't know what kind of color scheme to use. It is all because of the stained glass windows (original to the house) in green, yellow, and red. Although you can't tell from the attached photo, the trim around the window is semi-gloss white. Any ideas?

I'd love to see more of the bathroom. Would you mind posting another picture so I can get an idea of the space? Thank you!
You can never go wrong with an all-white bathroom.
I had a similarly styled stained glass window on the front door to my apartment, until about a few months ago when the landlord decided to do a few renovations. My roommate and I were so sad to see our little windows go, so we ended up snagging them from each of the four units.
We have them displayed in our living room now against a pale seafoam blue. It's not a bathroom, but it looks great.
I love the window. I would do a predominately white bathroom with black accents, wrought iron towel bar etc. The red, yellow, and green are a little hard to incorporate. Maybe a vintage mirror with some patina.
bedroom, not bathroom.
I'd probably paint the walls grey with white trim, have white bedding and get some accent items that are or include red, green, yellow in the pattern. Accent items can be pillows, lamps, artwork, throws, rug, statues (thrift store + spray paint!). That way if you get sick of them, they are easy to replace :)
Title says bathroom, copy says bedroom...?
What is your preference of style for the bathroom? You could use black and white combo and make the room vintage w/ a lot of white with black touches. What kind of floor do you have? If you have a lot of woodwork, do it white shiny enamel.
Yes, there seems to be some disagreement about bedroom or bathroom. But either way I think the answers are probably similar.
White could look good in either space depending on what you add to it. But I also think a light yellow or a light green could be really nice too - in either space. Black might be really interesting and that's a more daring choice, but one that I think could look awesome.
IF it's a bathroom, I'd go white. It's the accessories I'd carefully chose to make the room. Deep red or green towels. Find great pieces of colored Depression glass for soap dish, drinking glass, to put cotton balls in. Or even just old etched pieces of glassware to go with colorless glass in your window.
First, I love the stained glass! Second, I stopped and looked at the window before reading the comments to figure out if I had that problem, what colors would I pick, and decided on white and black with maybe pops of the color from the stained glass here and there. Glad to see others were thinking the same. However, this was when I thought this window was in the bathroom. If it's in the bedroom..not sure. That one is hard. Good luck and would love to see an after photo.
The post itself says bedroom, so that's what I'll answer here.
If you like more minimal/modern, perhaps looking for a great wallpaper that incorporates at least two of the colours in the window would tie it into a more updated look. Of course, it could also freshen up a more traditional room.
or use a stencil with nice lines like this one (I just pulled this one off Etsy as an example, I'm not affiliated with the seller) and stencil a bit of the colours in the window over the walls in the style of wallpaper
I think white bedding, wrought iron furniture, painted or stained wood furniture, and either a pale blue wall or a pale version of any of the colours in the stained glass would work very nicely.
It depends whether you want to parlay this into a kind of shabby-chic, or an updated-Victorian, or a true-craftsman type thing.
I just don't really get the question. Having had original 100 year old stained glass in my last two homes, one in the bathroom and three in the next living room, I can honestly say I did not plan my decor around them at all. And I am the sort who carries swatches of my fabrics around with me, and paint chips and pages ripped from magazines to represent colors in my rugs and other things I can't carry around with me, to make sure colors won't clash when buying almost anything for my home, so it isn't like I don't pay a LOT of attention to color. The thing about these old windows is they look great whatever you do. Trust me, they do. Mine did, and yours will too. Occasionally one color in the window will pick up a similar color in something in the room; other times nothing will be the same at all....it won't matter, either way. So just paint and decorate without thinking about the windows, and they will look fine. I honestly can't think of a color that won't look fine with them (OK, I wouldn't go dark burgundy, or midnight blue-violet, or army green, but you weren't going there in any event, I would guess.) You are lucky to have these...resist the temptation to turn them into a problem, because they aren't. The colors will enhance subtly whatever colors you choose, as long as yout don't choose ugly. How I miss having stained glass in my current place...it was one of my favorite features in each of my last two places. So much that I keep looking for large stained glass panels or windows to hang in front of one of my windows.
OK, so to be helpful, here's what comes to mind, for either bedroom or bathroom. A nice golden yellow (not trying to match a color in the window, just a yellow you like on the wall) would look good with the yellow glass; a coral color, or a light violet, either would pick up on the red a bit; I'm not a fan or green in either bed or bath, but you could go there if you wanted; if you are partial to blue, pick one with a red tone in the mix, and it shouldn't clash; or one of those beigey, browny neutrals that are so popular would let the window colors shine. I wouldn't paint all white, unless you are partial to white walls. These windows look better with some colors to contrast with, really.
Though I would use paint, not wallpaper, as I think that would be too busy, and not in keeping with the simplicity of the window design. Though plenty of victorian homes show that many do wallpaper with stained glass.
Bedroom or bathroom, I'd suggest going with light neutrals (white, dove gray, pale blue, pale yellow) for wall colors. Go monochrome for textiles, with rich saturated pops of one or all three colors from the glass for accents.
I'm with Textiles on this one. Treat the window as a neutral and chose colors that you love for your bedroom/bathroom. Unless the window is huge, it won't clash with whatever your color scheme is. I've lived in several older homes with stained glass, and visited in many more. No one really takes their decorating cues from the stained glass.
Unless you really like the colors in the window and want to use it as your inspiration piece for the room, just let it be.
I have some stained glass in my entry way. If I had to stick to the colors in that to decorate the area, it would be all purple, pink and yellow. Which is not my most favorite color combination.
White and grey with pops of yellow! Bed or bath, you can't go wrong.
Any neutral color would work, of course, including grayer shades of yellow, green, and red -- the colors in the window.
If you go with a vintage color scheme, the room will instantly look classic and "natural" to its era. For ideas on what a bathroom of that era would've looked like, check out the Jane Powell book "Bungalow Bathrooms." Otherwise, the colors in that window are subtle enough that I think you could basically go with any color scheme that you like.
I agree with textiles re: "The thing about these old windows is they look great whatever you do. Trust me, they do." And I also would like to vote for an earthy gray in the medium to light range. It would pick up the leading in the windows, and make the pink, yellow and green look sophisticated.
A mid-tone grey/charcoal.

But it's a joke

I just hold the blade in hand
nothing will happen.
A small cut
all is well.
Too hard

Better physical pain

Fucking depression
but better shallow cut

I'm okay.
I know I'm stupid.
Blade slips on the skin
Blood will not almost
Becouse I'm not going to die
No need to look for traces of cuts,
they will heal after a week.
No need to crawl into my soul,

Maria Kanellis has revealed that while she is pursuing her college degree, she's also going to be going after a certificate for graphics design as well.
Former WWE diva Maria Kanellis has revealed that she is going back to school to study film.
When he made his Impact Wrestling debut last night, Mike Tenay called MVP by that name, which led to speculations as to whether or not TNA will be using that as a permanent moniker. It now appears that the company will be using that name, as he used it during a promo taped for next week.
"Then finally when I signed my deal deal, my very first deal, they also paid all of my college fees as a bonus. I think I owed like 40 grand, which they didn't have to do, I always felt was very, very cool of JR to do. He was like we're going to take care of your college, by the way. I was like oh, because that had been hanging over my head while I had been trying to just get somewhere and make it. I was like oh, man. I got this 40 grand that's over my head and I'm making 50 bucks on this show. Cool, now I'm making 210, but that's not going to chip away at 40 grand. So they took care of that when I signed my deal."
Prior to dropping out of college to pursue a career in modeling, Rosa Mendes studied business at the University of British Columbia.
Former WWE champion Eddie Guerrero attended the University of New Mexico on a wrestling scholarship.
Prior to becoming a WWE star, Bret Hart majored in filmmaking at Mount Royal College.
TNA produced a highly entertaining funeral segment for Aces and Eights, who were forced to split up after Bully Ray was defeated by Mr Anderson at Turning Point.
"....and I'm STILL NOT buying TNA nor would I ever want to affect the team of Mike Tenay and Taz. They have great chemistry and as I have said before they do a great job with what is provided them on their monitor."

TUESDAY, June 28 (HealthDay News) -- A flexible work schedule
helps employers retain mothers who have just returned to their jobs
after giving birth, according to a new study.
"When confronted by one or more job demands, a flexible schedule provides working moms with alternatives for meeting those demands while caring for their newborns. When working moms are better able to control their work environment and adapt, work-related stress is less likely to become a family issue," study author Dawn S. Carlson, a professor of management at Baylor University, said in a university news release.
She and her colleagues also found that working women with new
babies were more likely to stick with their jobs if they have job
security and can make use of a variety of their job skills, while
the effects of work-related stress on their physical and mental
health increases the risk of them leaving their job.
"Job security heightens motivation and energy, particularly for mothers who are sensitive to the security of their jobs after returning from maternity leave," co-author Merideth J. Ferguson, an assistant professor of management and entrepreneurship at Baylor, said in the news release.
The study was released online in advance of publication in an
upcoming print issue of the
Journal of Applied Psychology.
The researchers surveyed 179 full-time working mothers in North
Carolina, average age 31, at three intervals, scheduled at four,
eight and 12 months after they gave birth. The women had worked an
average of 39.7 hours per week and planned on returning to work 30
or more hours a week four months after giving birth.
A large number of women who return to the workforce after
childbirth subsequently stop working and the reasons for this are
not well understood. These findings offer important insight into
the issue, Carlson said.

All but one member of Kentucky's delegation will be voting against the healthcare reform bill Sunday night including Democrat Ben Chandler.
WHAS11's Stephanie Collins talked with several Kentucky and Indiana representatives Sunday as the vote nears.
The vote has begun and whether voting for or against this bill, each representative that we spoke with did comment on how this is historic.
Louisville's representative, John Yarmuth (D), believes this is the most significant vote since the creation of Medicare 40 years ago.
It's why Yarmuth went to Washington with a campaign promise to reform healthcare. He plans on keeping that promise.
Yarmuth talked to President Obama who told him, "don't do this for the Democratic Party. Don't worry about the politics of it, do it because its right. Do it for America."
But the vote is not the right thing for elected Kentucky republicans who say they want healthcare reform just not this one.
Brett Guthrie told WHAS11, "85% of people who have health insurance, it's going to increase their premiums 14% and it's also going to put new taxes on small businesses and make it harder for our economy to grow so it's not a matter are you for health insurance reform or not it's a matter of are you for this bill or not."
As the Washington leadership counts votes, they can now count on Indiana's Baron Hill who had been uncommitted until Sunday.
Currently there are more than one million Kentucky residents without healthcare.
Kentucky's 2nd District Representative knows these figures but believes healthcare should be reformed incrementally not in one large, expensive package.
Not acting is not an option according to Louisville's John Yarmuth who points to the skyrocketing costs of healthcare and says the vote for him will be an emotional moment.

Bill Cunningham New York (Richard Press, 2011) 4/4
"I used to tell people that I get dressed for Bill"
Would you like to watch a documentary about the cutest man in the world? If so, please, please watch Bill Cunningham New York. As one of New York's biggest fashion photographers, Bill Cunningham has highlighted the fashion on the streets for the last 4 decades. He doesn't photograph just the rich and the celebrated, he shows the working class people and the pieces of magic they create with their outfits. This documentary explores the work Bill creates, the legacy he created, and his relationship with New York and its people.
Bill loves fashion; he lives to photograph the clothes people call art. When he was younger he found something he loved to do and has done that every day since then. Bill pedals around New York on a little, pathetic bike searching out the latest and greatest fashions. He runs a fashion column in the Sunday paper of the New York Times, and has become the most influential trendsetter for the young and the old. People may call him a paparazzi but the biggest difference between Bill and the pap. is that Bill only cares about the clothes. When he takes photos on the streets he doesn't even look at the faces of his specimen, just the garments. Taking dozens of photographs of every brilliance he finds, Bill finds the magic in an outfit and does his best to expose it.
The most interesting part of the documentary is when the film explores Bill's personal life, because he doesn't really have one. Bill lives in a tiny, tiny apartment that is stuffed full of file cabinets (filled with negatives), and fashion magazines. The only "livable" space is a tiny self-made bed placed on top of a stack of magazines. He is very vague when it comes to the relationships he has with people and his "love" life. The most important part of Bill though is laugh and smile. For being over 80 years old and completely married to his profession, Bill is the happiest person in the world. He gets so excited about anything that has to do with fashion and his photographs. When it comes to aesthetically pleasing photos, Bill isn't the master of the profession, but he sure can capture the beauty in fashion and the people who wear it.
I have a secret love for documentary film, so I spend time pondering the different styles and formats of doc. films. I love films that don't have much of an agenda and just capture real life. Bill Cunningham New York doesn't exactly do that, but it explores the real life of an amazing man and the way he got to where he is today. More importantly, all of this is done with zero interference from the filmmakers because no one can tell Bill's story better than himself, and boy has he had the most incredible life. He moves and breaths for fashion, capturing the latest and greatest of the people of New York. The people who have been photographed by him are legendary, as is the beautiful spirit of Bill himself. There is a moment in the film where Bill is attempting to get into a fashion show to photograph. The woman at the door is being difficult until a man comes up, grabs Bill, and says, "Please, he's the most important person on earth." People love Bill because of his persona and his photographs; in return, Bill loves everyone he has ever taken a picture of.

What did survive was the weaponry. There were more than 17 million Model 91/30s produced during the War, and the collapse of the Soviet Empire dumped the surplus on the world market. The one Nathan Braun brought home this week could have been destined for the hands of one of those 18-year old Russian kids who wanted nothing at all to do with it in 1943.

Treyvon Martin and the Failure of Policing
In all the overwrought drama about who should be arrested and for what in the Treyvon Martin matter, I think something more fundamentally important is being ignored. George Zimmerman's record includes resisting arrest (in a bar) and an allegation of domestic battery. And all of this … since 2005. Yet he's allowed into some pseudo-cop training program, the neighborhood watch people applaud him for going out and fighting crime, he makes no fewer than 46 calls to the police last year, AND the state of Florida lets him carry a gun.
With 46 calls to the cops in one year – 46 more than most of us will make in a lifetime – at what point does somebody in the cop shop get curious and look up the background of this over-earnest crime fighter? And upon doing that and discovering what they are dealing with, when do they decide to have the po-po roll around to convince young George that maybe he shouldn't be carting around a loaded pistol while he's wearing his Batman cape and mask?
That little talking to, had it happened, would probably have prevented the meaningless loss of one entirely innocent life and the senseless wrecking of another.
I suppose you can't do all of that while also fighting the War on Drugs and staking out otherwise law abiding citizens who creep a few miles over the legal speed limit. But this could be a vastly safer society at significantly less cost if we just simplified our priorities in some obvious ways.

Justin Amash Votes "Perfect" for Economic Growth
GOP Congressman Justin Amash of West Michigan is one of just three freshmen in the U.S. House to nab a perfect score for economic sanity on the Club for Growth's very discerning 2011 Congressional Scorecard. He is one of just nine out of the 435-member chamber to score 100 percent, and the only one from Michigan to do so. The score is more than four touchdowns above the average for all Republicans in Congress, regardless of state, and double that of the weakest-scoring Republican from Michigan.
Club president Chris Chocola says the annual ranking is "intended to help our members and the general public differentiate between those who talk a good game about economic growth, and those who actually vote for pro-growth policy."
The differentiation is indeed very thorough. The average score for the entire U.S. House was 44 percent, and the average Republican score was just 70 percent. Lawmakers were graded on 37 separate criteria throughout the year, including 34 different roll call votes. The range of issues ran the full spectrum of economic policy battlegrounds, including votes to expand free trade, kill ObamaCare, slice out ethanol subsidies, cut Amtrak funding, dial back labor union excesses, and more.
The average score for Michigan's nine Republicans was 73 percent, slightly above the national average of 70 for all Republicans, but that is somewhat skewed due to Amash's rare perfect score.
Strong numbers were also turned in by two others. Congressman Bill Huizenga, another freshman from West Michigan, nabbed a 90 percent which – like Amash – will qualify him for the Club's "Defender of Economic Freedom" designation if he maintains an average of 90 percent or better throughout his career. Congressman Tim Walberg, now on his second career in Congress after a brief departure, posted an 86 percent, which is coincidentally his lifetime average as well.
Scores for the rest of Michigan's GOP delegation were considerably less remarkable when compared against Republicans from other states.
Freshman U.S. Rep. Dan Benishek and veteran Thad McCotter both posted a slightly above-average 72 percent, while Mike Rogers and Candice Miller slid in with slightly under the average scores of 66 percent each.
Bringing up the rear and coming in well under the Republican national average were Congressmen Fred Upton of St. Joseph at 52 percent, and Dave Camp of Midland at 50 percent.
The highest-scoring Democrat in the nation was U.S. Rep. Daniel Boren of Oklahoma, who posted a 42 percent.
Upton's lifetime score is 54 percent, and Camp's is 66 percent. Both men have been in office since at least 2005, the first year that this scorecard was tabulated. Camp scored a 56 that year, and Upton nabbed a 48.
Voting to increase the debt limit, voting to save Amtrak grants, voting against a cut in funding for the controversial National Labor Relations Board, and failing to support rolling back federal spending to 2006 levels were just some of the actions that led one or more of the Michigan Republicans to lose points on the 2011 Club Scorecard.
None of the six House Democrats from Michigan scored higher than 15 percent.
The Club tabulates a similar scorecard for the U.S. Senate. Neither of Michigan's two Democrat Senators scored above 10 percent and neither has a lifetime score above that level. Former GOP Congressman Pete Hoekstra, who hopes to unseat Democrat Senator Debbie Stabenow this year, has a lifetime score of 78 percent.

'China Girl' Puts Hoekstra Higher Above GOP Pack
A new poll shows that Pete Hoekstra's "China Girl" Super Bowl advertisement helped him score a big bump in his primary "race" for the U.S. Senate. I will remove the scare quotes from "race" when a poll shows any of his other GOP primary opponents closer than seven touchdowns behind him – and this one doesn't.
Well, so much for the helpful advice that he should abandon the China theme. Perhaps we should anticipate more girls on bikes talking about "Debbie Spend It Now."
But is it out of bounds or racist for him to do so?
Conservative agitator and comedienne Ann Coulter recently noted that President Obama will be hard to dislodge because he is so damn likable. "He's the guy everyone would love to have living next door," she says. "Unless you're Chinese, and then you'd probably get sick of the constant borrowing."
This is hardly racist, and the young lady portrayed in the Hoekstra advertisement also clearly asserts that China is shrewdly capitalizing on the American spending orgy. There is no question that the orgy is real; that it is horrible for the U.S. economy; that the Chinese are the largest creditor fueling the binge and that they hope to gain some benefit out of the deal. On its central facts, there is no dispute.
Is it accurate or racist when the girl thanks "Debbie Spend It Now" for selling the debt, weakening the American economy, and moving American jobs to China? And implying that the loans were offered by China with this specific malicious intent toward the Americans?
Reasonable people can disagree on whether creditors will always have a rooting interest in the boundless prosperity and success of their borrowers. If the world is viewed purely as benign bankers and businessmen operating together in a market economy, then you say yes. I am inclined mostly to agree.
But while bankers are human and have their downsides, slaughtering students by the thousands in the streets of the cities where they operate is not their style. Yet this is the behavior of the U.S. government's primary banker – the authoritarian rulers of China. If your bankers are gangsters, then it's hardly out of bounds to wonder whether or not you're in hock to a loan shark who wants his mark just strong enough to make larger and larger interest payments, but never so prosperous that he stops borrowing and starts paying back principle.
It's not out of bounds to note that bankers with blood on their hands may have mixed motives. To take just one commonly noted concern: Do the Chinese want an America barely strong enough to make payments and keep borrowing, but otherwise so burdened by the total debt that it cannot continue to support a U.S. Navy that rules the waves in the Pacific?
I think this over states this case and that despite its violent stranglehold on power the Chinese government believes strongly in America's economic future and that buying our debt is a good way to profitably park their money on that assumption. And if we can stop our borrowing ways very soon and make some other fundamental reforms, the Chinese will have bet correctly and will justifiably share in the prosperity. The girl on the bike is also a big trading partner, and she will hopefully become a bigger one to the benefit of both nations in the near and long term future.
And if not the Chinese, then some other nation would be our primary creditor. If private French bankers rather than government banks in China held most of America's loans, there'd be no basis for worrying about their malicious designs on American security. Perhaps Hoekstra would then have made his point about overspending by featuring a surly French waiter mocking his American customers for living beyond their means. It would have been just as on point about our spending binge, and just as clever … and nobody would have called it racist.
But all things considered, recent history provides some (albeit modest and probably not accurate) reasons to speculate about a more sinister motive for Chinese debt purchases. It certainly isn't racist to ask that question. And it all misses the point anyway: The Hoekstra advertisement's real criticism is aimed at the real degenerate gamblers at home, not the alleged loan sharks abroad.
That's squarely on the facts and why his critics want to change the subject.

Iran: Here, There, and Everywhere
A decade past 9/11, the debate still rages on the Left and even the Right: Is Islamic terrorism a reaction against Enlightenment-inspired Western civilization or retaliation for the alleged meddling foreign policy of the United States, Israel, and other nations? More pointedly: Do they attack us because of how we live our lives or what we do with theirs?
The director of NYPD's intelligence analysis division delivers a blast of cold water to the face of all this in the Wall Street Journal this morning. He argues persuasively that Iran – through its favored attack dog, Hezbollah – could very well be eyeing homicidal rage against New York City's large Jewish population. More sinister is his description of how the Iranian government has historically used its diplomatic immunity in various nations as a cover for setting up the attacks.
Most of the crime scenes are familiar enough: Egypt, Azerbaijan, Turkey, etc … But the author's in-depth research on the Iranian method took place far away from all that:
Iranian agents were sent to Argentina years before the attacks, where they integrated into society and became Argentine nationals. Mohsen Rabbani is believed to have been in charge of coordinating the 1994 attack and is subject to an Interpol arrest warrant for his involvement. He first came to Argentina in 1983, where he subsequently became the main imam at At-Tauhid, an Iranian-funded mosque in Buenos Aires.
After traveling to Iran in August 1993 to participate in a meeting that allegedly gave the planned attack the green light, Mr. Rabbani returned to Argentina as a cultural attaché to the Iranian Embassy, conveniently providing him diplomatic immunity. Then, Hezbollah agents from abroad received logistical support from members of the local Lebanese-Shiite community and the Iranian Embassy to carry out the attack.
There were two bombings on Argentine soil against "Israeli and Jewish" targets as a result of this. Together, they killed 114 people. If you are of the school that assumes Islamic terror is a response to Western interventionism, rather than an aggressive war against the West in general and Jews in particular, then you need to ask yourself the following: What did Argentina do to Iran or Islam, other than allow Jews to live within its borders?
An astute reader of Argentine history will recall that Argentina lost a brief war against the British over the Falkland Islands in 1982. Also, there was suspected American complicity (most notably Henry Kissinger's) in a coup that toppled an Argentine government in 1976. More generally, it is obvious that Argentina still has little ability to meddle in the affairs of far off nations. Indeed, much like Iran itself prior to the 1979 overthrow of the U.S.-backed Shah, Argentina is a solid example of the sort of nation that is often held up as the 'victim' of the foreign policies of the United States and other Western powers.
But this didn't matter to Iran, and neither did the diplomatic immunity that is (sometimes grudgingly) respected by all of the civilized or semi-civilized nation-states on Earth. There were Jews to kill, after all, and when that opportunity arises the Iranians don't hassle the GPS coordinates. This is something to keep in mind when considering what they might do if they can graduate from car bombs to nuclear bombs.

– Sitting in the lobby of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Tuesday with one daughter upstairs in critical condition and another recovering in a hospital blocks away, Carol Downing described the frantic hours she spent looking for them after bomb blasts cut short her third marathon and separated the family.
The Monkton woman stumbled over her words, dropped her head into her hands and slowly ran her fingers through her short brown hair as she relayed what happened at the storied Boston Marathon, which was supposed to have been the culmination of a weekend getaway with her daughters, Erika Brannock and Nicole Gross, and her son-in-law, Michael Gross.
When the bombs exploded, Downing said, she was just a half-mile from the finish line where Brannock and the Grosses were waiting to cheer her on. They were gathered outside the LensCrafters on Boylston Street, one of the bloodiest sites along the course. Downing heard sirens, not the blast, and officials corralled her and other runners in a spot under a nearby overpass.
She spent the next six hours trying to locate both her daughters.
"They're like my best friends," said Downing, dressed in a pair of shorts and a borrowed fleece. "They are great, supportive daughters, always have been. We've always had a lot of fun together. They mean the world to me."
Brannock, 29, who teaches at a Towson preschool, had her left leg amputated from the knee down among other injuries, cousin Jocelyn Wood-Garrish said Wednesday.
"She is aware and taking the news very well. I'm in awe of my cousin's bravery," Wood-Garrish said, adding that there were more surgeries to come. Brannock was communicating with the family by writing, and had requested pictures of the students she teaches.
Brannock, who before Wednesday had been heavily sedated, is expected to remain in the hospital at least a month, Downing said.
Nicole Gross, 31, a personal trainer at Charlotte Athletic Club in North Carolina, had both her legs broken, family members said. She is in stable condition at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital. Michael Gross sustained lacerations and burns and has been discharged, Downing said.
Downing, a retired massage therapist, said she tried texting her daughters and son-in-law, but the phone lines were jammed. She finally reached Michael Gross about an hour after the blasts, but they couldn't locate Brannock until 9 p.m.
While she was panicked, scared and cold after running nearly the entire marathon, Downing said, a Boston couple took her back to their home, where they gave her something to eat and drink and allowed her to take a shower. They also gave her a fleece jacket, which she kept, and stayed with her at Brigham and Women's Hospital until family arrived.
"With all the chaos and to be in a city where I don't know anyone, it reminds me that there are some good people in the world," Downing said.
She said she doesn't know what to think of the attack, and isn't focused on the constant news updates.
"I am not really thinking about it right now," she said. "I don't want to watch TV, and I am not reading the paper. It's just too emotional for me. I am trying to stay disconnected from it and focused on my kids."
Wood-Garrish said the family has been overwhelmed by support, an outpouring that began Monday night on Facebook.
"I know that so many people are worried about her," Wood-Garrish said. "Our hearts are breaking, but our hopes are high."
For friends who knew that Brannock was in Boston, the hours after Monday afternoon's blast were tense. Former roommate Ericka Leonard, a Boston University graduate who is now a middle school teacher at McDonogh School, was texting with Brannock about places to go in the city and received updates on Downing's pace throughout the day.
"I knew that her sister and brother-in-law and she would be at the finish line because her mom's expected crossing of the finish line was around that time," Leonard said.
Leonard said she sent a text message that showed up on her phone as having been read, but did not receive word until 9 p.m., when Downing told her Brannock was at a hospital.
"It was a really stressful few hours," Leonard said.

Atmos Energy wants to change the way you pay for natural gas. If passed, Atmos says the new rate structure will be the first of its kind in Texas. Customers would be able to choose how they want to pay for gas.
"Today we bill our customers two ways, the base charge and we have a delivery fee," says Dan Alderson, with Atmost Energy.
Right now, only 20 percent of your gas bill goes to Atmos Energy each month, that's a delivery cost. The other 80 percent of your bill is for how much natural gas you used, that part of the bill isn't changing.
The proposal is to give customers two options. Choose Option A and you will pay a base charge of $8.05. You will also be charged about $.16 for how much gas you're delivered. That's per hundred cubic feet. Then you will pay for your gas usage.
Choose Option B and you will have a flat charge of $16.80 a month. You will also pay for your gas usage. This option takes away the additional delivery fee but has a higher base charge.
So which plan should you choose? Customers who use 670 cubic feet of gas a year or more will automatically be placed on Option B.
Atmos Director of Public Affairs, Dan Alderson explains.
"I use around 1,000 at my home per year. I'll be placed on Option B so I'll end up paying for service and delivery $201.60, but I need to make real clear that our residential customers understand that they'll still pay gas costs," says Alderson.
City Council and customers will learn more about the proposal at a hearing on Thursday but some have already formed an opinion.
"I'm real positive on what they've proposed. It stabilizes the rates for citizens, for the consumers it gives them a choice of Option A or Option B depending on the the size of user. It certainly stabilizes for the city, the income and then for Atmos, it gives them a band of a reasonable profit," says Mayor David Miller.
"I haven't seen a benefit to the citizens. They're saying some will pay less some will pay more. I'm not sure how that will pan out. All I know is right now increasing the base rate is a huge advantage to Atmos where I don't' see a benefit to citizens," says City Councilman John Leonard.
But Atmos officials say they are simply asking for a fair rate of return for their services.
"We need customers to consume gas in order to earn a rate of return for delivery and service of natural gas to their homes. By law we don't make money off the gas," says Alderson.
If approved, Atmos customers can change their plan once a year.
If you would like to attend the public hearing and learn more about the rate plan, it will begin at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at City Hall.

Found February 02, 2013 on The Sports Headquarters:
PLAYERS: Colin Kaepernick, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, John Abraham, Randy Moss
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons
Before trying to establish their ground game, the 49ers will face the key issue of how to deal with an excitable young quarterback guiding their offense. Colin Kaepernick is hoping to become the third player to win a Super Bowl in his second season in the NFL after Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger did so in Super Bowls 36 and 40. Their teams took different approaches in each game and while both resulted in wins, the quarterbacks had very different performances. Roethlisberger's debut was a rough one as the Steelers were unable to get him in a rhythm early due to penalties and ineffective run plays which lead to a rough game while Brady was allowed to spread the field and gain some early confidence which lead to an MVP performance in spite of some pedestrian numbers. In the playoffs so far Kaepernick has shown some impressive poise, most notably bouncing back from an early pick-six against Green Bay. If he is going to help the 49ers win then the coaching staff will need to get him some early completions on some easy throws. He has plenty of targets to choose from so look for Crabtree and Vernon Davis to see some early attempts in their direction. A settled quarterback will go a long way to getting the 49ers on track offensively. While Kaepernick presents a unique threat on the ground San Francisco will need to make sure that they do not become one dimensional and totally reliant on the run despite the fact that is their strength. Frank Gore looms as the true game-breaker for the 49ers with his powerful, uncompromising running style. With the pistol formation and read option plays on the table due to the multiple threats in the backfield, Gore can find his holes in the line and burst through to the second level where he can really do some damage against smaller defenders. The way the 49ers use the pistol formation is essentially a deeper set strong or weak I formation with a fullback next to the quarterback. On Gore's game-winning touchdown against Atlanta, Delainie Walker shifted to the weak side next to Kaepernick with two receivers wide on the weak (left) side while Vernon Davis was on the line on the right. This motion led to the 49ers having an extra man on the right which they used to great advantage. With Walker acting as a lead blocker, Gore was able to go off tackle on the strong side and into the end zone untouched. Loading up the weak side caused the defense to shift that way and the threat of Kaepernick on the ground took John Abraham out of the action due to his containment responsibilities highlighted in green. With the safety following Vernon Davis out to the sideline the line was left with simple one on one responsibilities and Gore found the hole to go straight in for the lead that his team would not relinquish. If San Francisco is able to confuse Baltimore with their formations and create overlaps on one side of the line then they will be in for a very successful day running the ball. With the multiple threats in the backfield, Baltimore won't be able to sell out too far towards one player as they will wind up getting burned another way as the option to run is always present when the ball is in the quarterback's hands. Of course this game won't be able to be won entirely on the ground and the 49ers will need to make plays through the air if they want to score enough points to win. In the 49ers two playoff games we have seen two different sides of Colin Kaepernick, against Green Bay the running threat on the ground came out while against Atlanta he was a passer first and foremost, only running twice. It's all well and good to say that Kaepernick needs to start fast but the big question is how can he do that against the Ravens. The best way is to attack the Ravens with short crossing routes early on, preferably with their tight ends who will likely be covered by slower linebackers causing their safeties to come up closer to the line. After the run game is established then they will have the freedom to take some deep shots to guys like Randy Moss who could be an under the radar MVP if he can catch a couple of long bombs in the end zone. Kaepernick's legs will play a big role in the passing game but he will be needing to run to give himself some time in the pocket as opposed to looking to break big yardage off a scramble. Baltimore will try and disguise their coverage and confuse the sophomore player but they can't overcomplicate things as the 49ers have an athletic advantage over them and could break free if an assignment is blown. Overall it comes down to balance for the 49ers offense, if they can avoid digging themselves into a hole needing to go pass happy to come back from a deficit. If the 49ers can keep their ground game as a legitimate threat then the Ravens won't be able to sell out and pressure Colin Kaepernick.

SEE ALSO: • Youngstown district addresses loss of federal money
• Campbell teachers begin academic year with new contracts
• Campbell schools' new administrators transition into district
By Denise Dick
A federal mediator has been involved with contract talks between the city school district and the union representing its teachers.
The Youngs- town Education Association, the roughly 400-member teachers union, this week voted to authorize its negotiating team to issue a 10-day notice of intent to strike if necessary.
But negotiations continue, including a session Wednesday.
"I'm optimistic that we'll work it out," said Superintendent Connie Hathorn.
The previous teachers' contract expired June 30.
Beginning teachers earn $29,885 while senior teachers, or those with 24 years of service and a doctorate, earn about $66,000 annually. The average teacher salary is $53,355.
The last three-year contract provided 1 percent pay increases each year. That followed four years of freezes on base pay.
For health insurance, teachers pay 1.225 percent of their salary for family or 0.65 percent of their salary for single coverage.
Tim Kinkead, a YEA spokesman, said the stumbling blocks to a new contract are economic issues including salary and health insurance.
Karen Green, assistant superintendent for human resources, said both sides would set up a schedule for talks. She said the federal mediator has been involved for at least two sessions.
With the Youngstown City School Academic Distress Commission in place, there are few issues to negotiate. Late last year, the academic distress commission, which already oversaw district academics, took over budget authority for the city schools because of a projected $1.5 million deficit.
Where is the 48 million deficit this newspaper has printed many times in the past? The district is 17 million in the black and that is a fact Jack!
The board of education over the past 20 years have not spent taxpayer money with any smarts. Start today, give the hardest working educators a small raise say like 3 percent. You will have well of 13 or 14 million to waste as they usually do!
You must a teacher Country.
Great theory, you have money.....spend it. Do you run your household that way?
If teachers need more money, get a summer job. The rest of us work year round. They can too. There's not a thing tin the world keeping teachers from working a full time time job and being paid full time wages.
I never get upset about how much teachers make until they say they don't make enough. $53k/year divided by 180 teaching days = $295/day.... That's not including retirement contributions and medical packages given by the school district.
Some idiots at the public trough just think they are entitled to more and more taxpayers money without picking their head up out of their fannie mae. Taxpayers money to them is like the AYCE at the Golden Corral.
A great idea Mr. Right, AND how would a pay reduction help the school district?
How would that help the students be better academically?
School districts can only do so much without the help of the parents at home, instilling hard work, respect and dedication into their children (which isn't happening). If the kid wants to learn they will and if they don't want to learn there is NOTHING that the best teacher (from anywhere) can do.
Performance pay based on grades is a proven way to inflate scores without learning.
No I am not to answer your question. I just know the history of the youngstown city schools over the last twenty years. The management of the Youngstown city schools can and will spend money for anything and everything. They never stink with a reform effort more than two years. Then the blame is placed on the teachers. I pay taxes that support this district. I want my money on the teachers, not board members to fly to San Diego for a conference about poor kids. We know the city has the most per capita poverty rate in the state.
It's cases like this plus many more why money needs to be spent on the teachers, not foolish actives they currently do. Besides school districts are non profit, they have to spend the dollars they collect or the state will get the money back. So support the local economy by paying the teachers a few pennies more, not sending board members on vacation

Starting off, the read provides research suggesting two-thirds of people across the globe believe the world would be in a better place if men thought more like women. Who wouldn't read on after an opening like that?
Specifically targeting the business sphere, the authors discuss what happens when natural characteristics inherent to women like nurturing, sharing and communication, are utilized in the workplace and the positive impact they have on the productivity of business as a whole. Again, had to read on.
The Athena Doctrine hits close to home, falling in line with a personal belief that Women are one of the most valuable resources in the world. Currently, our society is using far less than half of our intellectual capital and we have many problems to solve, beyond the business world. This isn't necessarily about feminism or equality; it's about evolving as a society, global growth and equal contribution. The Athena Doctrine supports this notion and is an inspiring read for anyone interested in the fundamentals of success in both business and in life. It won't disappoint.

Weekly Recap (8/16/10 – 8/21/10)by Tim Manni
"Millions of homeowners afraid to sell":
According to Zillow.com's Homeowner Confidence Survey, millions of borrowers are just itching to sell their homes, but are too afraid to because of market conditions.
I'd be willing to bet that there are millions more 'sidelined sellers' — in addition to Zillow's survey — out there who can't sell (or don't want to)because of lost or negative equity.
To take a deeper look at the problem, we crunched some numbers to try to figure out how long a borrower's underwater situation might persist before they could sell without triggering a loss; Click here to read "Home Equity: Why 2015 Is The New Zero"…
"Should you borrow from a 401(k) to support your home?":
A recent report says the number of Americans withdrawing early from their retirement savings to support their homes has grown substantially.
To some, withdrawing early from your retirement savings may seem foolish. But for others, it may be their only option to stay in their home or be able to come up with a sizeable down payment so they can own a home…
"Are closing costs rising? Too soon to say":
The increase revealed in one year-over-year comparison (2009-2010) probably isn't comparable because of the change in the Good Faith Estimate (GFE).
All the new factors and changing market conditions have made it nearly impossible to determine at this juncture if closing costs are really rising or not. Evidence suggests that this is the case, but comparing estimated 2010 closing costs with estimated 2009 closing costs is like comparing apples to oranges. We'll have to wait until mid-to-late 2011 to get a fair year-over-year comparison…and who knows what could change from now until then…
"Treasury defends HAMP. I'm still not satisfied":
I came across an article in The Street this morning (hat tip: National Mortgage Professional Magazine) that was an "edited transcript of [Treasury Department spokeswoman Andrea Risotto's] response to specific criticisms" concerning the home affordable modification program (HAMP).
I was hoping this article would provide some concrete explanations to such long-standing questions as "what is taking so long, what's with the lack of success, why has the program changed so often and why are the results so much better for servicers outside of HAMP?" Unfortunately, Ms. Risotto's responses didn't reveal too much new or enlightening information that would help us get a better sense of what we can do to make this program better…
"Fannie, Freddie Reform Talk of the Nation Today":
The consensus is growing increasingly clear amongst market observers and administration officials alike: the government needs to distance itself from the nation's housing market. But the billion-dollar question remains: "How?"
The sentiment for change was voiced this morning by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner who "promised 'fundamental change' for the nation's housing finance system…" at the Conference on the Future of Housing Finance, wrote Jim Puzzanghera of the Los Angeles Times. Shaun Donovan, secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),echoed Geithner's comments saying himself that the government's involvement in housing should be downsized.
Having the administration's housing heads declare the need for change doesn't do much for the market today. We'll have to wait and see this January if the administration's "roadmap" will lead us out of this mess or get us even more lost…
"Fed's move: Good news for mortgage rates":
Last week the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced that they "will keep constant the Federal Reserve's holdings of securities at their current level by reinvesting principal payments from agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in longer-term Treasury securities."
Mortgage rates dipped almost immediately following the Fed's announcement last Tuesday. "This decline was probably related more toward a loss of optimism about the economy and reduction in concerns over inflation than any anticipated support for mortgage markets," according to the latest issue of HSH.com's Market Trends Newsletter…

In Dollars and Sex, economist Marina Adshade converts economic theory into a sexy science by applying the principles of market forces to matters of love and the libido. As she does in her hugely popular blog of the same name, Adshade unlocks the mysteries behind our actions, thoughts and preferences using engaging research and economic analysis – and no small dose of humour. The result is a fascinating look at how the most important choices we make are influenced by the interplay between sexual drive, gender, love, power and economic forces.
In Dollars and Sex, you'll find answers to such questions as:
- Is modern marriage just an opportunity to consume more goods and services?
- What is the relationship between rising rates of casual sex and the widening earning gap?
- How do we sabotage our chances of finding a mate when dating online?
Ultimately Adshade shows that every option, every decision, and every outcome in matters of sex and love is better understood through economics.

Looking Good: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Reader Submissions
We have been thinking a lot about muffins this week; we often neglect to make muffins, and we wonder why! They are quick, easy, and simple to clean up. They are great little snacks during the day, and they are awesome for grab-and-go breakfasts too. So we were really pleased when reader Elise sent us this tip about a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin recipe.
Elise says:
I found this delicious recipe for Pumpkin Bread/Muffins at thefreshloaf.com that I wanted to share! They have such a great texture.
Wow, those look so yummy. All that oozing chocolate and a tender crumb too. Thanks so much Elise!

Great photos, too, Elise. We would love one of these right now — ideally warm from the oven.

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe & the scrumptious images ... soooo, now I have to make some! Love sweet breads & pecans; so, I usually add pecans to the batter. I had my first pumpkin pecan muffin at Einstein Bagels years ago & fell in love. I couldn't wait to get home & make my own!
A few weeks ago, I experimented ... tweaked a Williams-Sonoma pumpkin bread recipe by using coconut oil (instead of another nut oil) & added chocolate chips, pecans, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg & fresh minced ginger to the batter. They were a success at home & at a recent holiday get-together. BTW, Williams-Sonoma's "Muffins" & "Baking" cookbooks have some delish recipes as well.
I'm so excited you posted my pictures! Thanks Faith :)
I hate pumpkin, but these look good.
@elise890, your muffins look heavenly ... I'm sure they taste divine! Thanks for sharing!
YUm-I am no longer "pumpkined out" (like I was by mid November)-I think I could handle these now! They look delicious!
Why, oh why, do people ruin perfectly wonderful pumpkin breads and muffins with chocolate chips?
Why, oh why, do people ruin perfectly wonderful chocolate chips with breads and muffins? :)
yum elise!
patrick - lol! i feel the same way.
I would've never really thought about this combo but it looks great!
Made these this weekend - delicious. One note - these make 12 large muffins. I like smaller portions so next time I'll divide it up into 18 or 24 muffins. Uber yum.
@AKwinter I realized the same thing when I was pouring out the batter, so I went with 18 and they were the perfect size!
One leftover can of pumpkin puree from Thanksgiving. 3 cups of flour sufficient; added bar of bittersweet chocolate.
After sampling TWO (texture amazing), added sprinkling of raw sugar. Just right!

Red berried fruits, notes of kirsch and whole-bunch derived forest floor – all beautifully detailed and precise – before a bright acid finish that is classically northern Rho^ne."

A Double Jeopardy category called "who's that girl director?" just aired. The "easiest" question in the category asked for the director of When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle (you know, one of the most successful female directors of all time, who is Nora Ephron). No one got it. The next easiest question asked for The Hurt Locker, and a dude guessed "who is Sofia Coppola?" The next two were about actresses-turned-directors Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie (the were both correctly guessed).
The "hardest" question was looking for Amy Heckerling—I coulda answered it when I was nine—and some dude guessed a male director. (I forget who it was, I gotta wait til it goes up on J. Archive in a few days.)
I am gonna give these sexist nerds EVERY SWIRLIE. If you don't know who Kathryn Bigelow is, what are you even doing on Jeopardy??
