The unfortunate lay-off of Teacher of the Year Jill Mills is a perfect example of why the tenure system does not work in the elementary or secondary school setting ("Pink slips for top teachers," June 10).
There are roughly 15 librarians in the Parsippany schools. Mills, who is not tenured, is the one being laid off, despite being named Teacher of the Year by the district and being named top educator by the Lakeland Hills Family YMCA. The other 14 librarians, who presumably were not named Teacher of the Year, get to keep their jobs. Where is the logic in this? How does this system provide the best education for our children?
The tenure system does not reward excellence. Our children deserve the best teachers, not just the ones who have been around the longest.

Bungled negotiations
I shudder to think that Education Commissioner Bret Schundler might be a knucklehead, as inferred by one of Gov. Chris Christie's aides. After all, he is the state's chief education officer, charged by law with the daunting responsibility to provide public school students with a thorough and efficient education, a serious challenge for a competent person, impossible for a knucklehead.
The commissioner and his aides negotiated with representatives of the NJEA on certain provisions of the state's Race to the Top program. The NJEA modified its position on some points, and the commissioner on some others, specifically merit pay and seniority provisions. The shared objective was to craft a reform plan that would enhance New Jersey's chances of winning $400 million in federal funds. But the governor went ballistic over the concessions agreed to by Schundler and rejected the plan. So what happened? Knuckleheadedness on the part of the commissioner, or do these two not understand what it means to bargain honestly and in good faith?
Richard Fiander, Bernards Twp.
Parents make the difference
In Gov. Chris Christie's speeches on education, he mentions that parents and children "deserve a choice" when it comes to education. Speaking of parents ...
Are these the same parents who: do not monitor their child's educational progress; do not know what classes their child is taking; do not check that their child's homework is done; provide no consequences at home for poor grades; allow their children to watch countless hours of television, or spend countless hours playing video games or surfing the internet; allow their teenagers to hold after-school jobs for so many hours per week that the students are too tired to stay awake in class; do not make sure their children eat nutritious meals or get enough rest; hold teachers solely accountable for their child's misbehavior; do not encourage their child to meet their responsibilities in terms of schoolwork?
Are these the parents the governor makes reference to in his speeches? If so, it is high time these parents make the choice to provide the structure and support at home for their child's education. Quality education requires a balance between good schools and good parenting.

Bidding Swetland adieu
After reading the article regarding Monsignor Stuart Swetland's decision to withdraw his name from consideration as president of Seton Hall University, I offered a prayer of thanksgiving ("Seton Hall's lone finalist for president withdraws," June 10).
All those who care about the university should be grateful that God wants the monsignor to find his $300,000 perks elsewhere. In an age where the world is crying for Christian leadership, the school cannot afford his price.

A good demagogue
Star-Ledger columnist Tom Moran's article reveals much more about Moran, the Education Law Center and the state Supreme Court than it does about Gov. Chris Chistie ("Christie's rant reveals a hard-right agenda," June 8). The truth is, most of what Christie said is accurate.
The governor has said the majority of the school funding money is spent on a small number of districts. Moran says that half of state aid goes to one in four students. Why is it acceptable to spend three times the amount per student in these districts rather than in the others? The Abbott districts were designated in 1985 and then reinforced by court cases in 1990 and 1994. Current students were not even alive then. When does this extra spending begin to help?
There must be a point at which spending can be equalized. However, the Education Law Center wants to make sure that will never happen.
Christie's other point was that the court is answerable to no one. This is true. The court has decided it has the power to change the Constitution and then to usurp the legislative authority to spend billions of our tax dollars.
Moran calls Christie a "demagogue." I would rather have that than a Supreme Court that, at least in this case, is a dictator.
Jim Flynn, Morristown
Money isn't the curative
Star-Ledger columnist Tom Moran continues the dreary, old and wrong-headed notions that leftists like himself can't seem to ever understand — mainly, that throwing money at a problem will solve it. Never has, never will, especially when it comes to spending and education. He says, "some districts, like Union City, have worked near miracles." Yes, it's a miracle that they spent more than $150 million on one high school. You could have built three for that money.
My home town is West Caldwell, and when it's parent night at the local schools, you can't find a parking spot anywhere. When parents stress learning, kids do well, and no amount of taxpayer money will ever change that fact.
I understand there are many barriers for kids in urban areas, but when, and only when, education is valued will scores improve. Nevermind the $500 per-square-foot high schools.
Sam Colacurcio 3d, W. Caldwell
Bad for business
At a time when we are struggling to make it through this economic crisis, the state's Small Business Development Centers have assisted small business owners and entrepreneurs in all 21 counties, providing comprehensive counseling and training assistance as well as loan-packaging services. Their efforts have resulted in saving or creating 12,636 jobs in 2009. They also counseled or trained more than 20,000 business owners. This is an astounding accomplishment. Yet each year they have been victims of the budget crunch and have seen their budget reduced by 75 percent over the past two years. It is time for our legislators to stop discouraging businesses to develop and instead encourage and support the state's willing work force.
As if this decision were not foolish enough in itself, the proposed cuts in state funding will now make New Jersey ineligible for additional federal funding to support small business development. We could lose as much as $984,000 in additional funding because $250,000 state funding is eliminated. You don't have to be a Harvard economist to see that is simply bad business.

MOBILE, Alabama -- The National Weather Service has issued a survey of the damage from the tornado that tore across Mobile on Christmas Day.
According to the NWS, the storm system moved out of the Midwest on Christmas morning, ahead of a strong cold front and accompanying squall line. The system then moved south producing numerous strong storms that spawned tornadoes across Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
There were 10 confirmed tornadoes in the outbreak across southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama, five were EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, a system used to determine a storm's strength. An EF-2 storm has winds between 111 and 137 mph.
Here's the NWS summary of the Midtown Mobile tornado:
Midtown mobile tornado:
Rating: EF-2
Estimated peak wind: 110-137 mph
Path length /statute/: 5.7 miles
Path width /maximum/: 200 yards
Fatalities: 0
Injuries: several minor
Start date: Dec 25 2012
Start time: 454 pm cst
Start location: near Halls Mill Road and Dauphin Island Pkwy
Start lat/lon: 30.67, -88.09
End date: Dec 25 2012
End time: 505 pm cst
End location: Prichard
End lat/lon: 30.74, -88.06
The survey summary from the NWS:
"The initial tornado touchdown was located near Dauphin Island Parkway at Duval Street and Halls Mill Road where it initially moved northwestward.
The tornado continued northward to near the intersections of Holcomb Avenue and Government Street and Dauphin Island Parkway where it produced damage consistent with an EF-1 tornado, damaging several commercial retailers.
The tornado continued northward, damaging homes and producing roof damage to numerous homes. It reached Murphy High School where it destroyed several out-buildings, blew out windows and produced significant roof damage to the high school.
From here, the tornado tracked northward to Dauphin Street where it strengthened and widened to 200 yards, producing damage consistent with an EF-2 tornado to several homes.
Also significantly damaged was the Trinity Episcopal Church on Dauphin Street. The tornado then moved into the Silverwood Street area where it produced EF-1 damage and sporadic EF-2 damage to several homes.
The tornado next tracked north-northeast across the Mobile Infirmary Hospital where it blew out several windows and damaged several automobiles, as well as flipping on automobile.
The tornado continued tracking northeastward across Interstate 165, moving into the Prichard area where it produced damage to the roofs of several homes, as well as snapping several trees. The tornado continued across Telegraph Road where it tossed several large shipping containers and damaged a warehouse facility before dissipating on Jakes Lane in Prichard."

The greatest two yards in Jeremy Shockey's football career.
The two yards that helped bring the Saints a 31-17 victory over the Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.
"I've probably run that route 100 times in my career and I've probably only caught a couple of touchdowns off it," Shockey said afterward. "But one is in the Super Bowl."
- Saints beat Colts, 31-17, to capture first Super Bowl title in team history
- MVP Drew Brees near-perfect as he brings adopted city of New Orleans a championship
- Saints' successful onside kick shocks Colts, changes momentum of game
- Former Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey relishes touchdown in Saints' victory over Colts
- Notebook: Colts' Dwight Freeney plays in Super Bowl on injured ankle
- Plaxico Burress tells CBS life behind bars made him realize damage he did to Giants
- How the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV: Three crucial decisions
- Beyond The Game: What you might have missed during Super Bowl XLIV
- Super Bowl XLIV: Quarter-by-quarter analysis
The former Miami tight end made Super Bowl history here at Sun Life Stadium by putting New Orleans ahead by by five points with 5:42 to play in the game. A two-point conversion on a diving catch by Lance Moore, which was initially ruled an incompletion only to be overturned by a replay challenge, put New Orleans a full touchdown ahead – a lead the Saints wouldn't relinquish.
For Shockey, it was a sweet ending after a bitter experience in Super Bowl XLII, when he watched the Giants' victory from a luxury box after breaking his leg in Week 15 of the regular season.
"A lot of people made it out like it was me being jealous of New York winning it without me," said Shockey, who forced a trade to New Orleans in the '08 off-season. "It was just the opposite; I was very proud of my teammates."
But now he has new teammates in a new city. And pretty soon, he'll have a Super Bowl ring that will validate his wanting a fresh start.
"It's very special," Shockey said. "It's gratifying to even be in the game, much less catch a touchdown pass. I've put in a lot of hard work for this since I was in seventh grade. Everything worked out for a reason.
This feeling is about as special as it gets."

WEST DEPTFORD — Matt Jacobsen thought curveball, got a curveball and did what any good hitter would do with a curveball — hit it right back up the middle.
Jacobsen's bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 11th was the difference as the Hightstown Post 148 American Legion baseball team outlasted Hopewell Post 339, 3-2, Sunday in the New Jersey American Legion District 4 Tournament at Union Field.
Hightstown will now take on West Deptford at 4 p.m., Monday in another elimination game.
"In a situation like that I'm hoping first just to hit something deep enough to get the run in," Jacobsen said. "He threw me a curveball the pitch before, so I was thinking curveball again. And that's what I got."
Jacobsen's hit, which scored Austin Kurey with the winning run, was Hightstown's fourth of the inning, and it also had a walk. So what took so long to score?
"Oh man," manager Doug Herrin said. "That was some game. We became a team today. This was a really tough win."
Post 148 led, 1-0, when it scored in the bottom of the first inning, and then saw Hopewell score two in the top of the eighth for a 2-1 lead. Kurey, who made two great catches in right field, singled in the tying run in the ninth.
Hightstown's winning rally started when Max Kutler beat out a bunt to open the 11th.
Kurey, the Mercer County American Legion League leader in RBI, looked to have another one when he doubled to center.
Hopewell's Harry Giordano made a great throw to shortstop Brodie Catherine who made another great throw home to get Kutler at the plate.
Hopewell intentionally walked Matt Chipego for the second straight time, but this time Matt DeAngelis foiled the plan when he singled to left to load the bases.
That brought up Jacobsen.
"Matt was pressing a little," Herrin said. "He didn't want to let us down. And he certainly didn't.
"But all the credit in the world to Jimmy McNamara and that Hopewell team. They didn't know they were in the tournament until the last minute. They came out and played hard, played really well. Give them a lot of credit. But give us credit, too."
Hopewell, which was an emergency fill-in when Ocean County could not field a representative, lost both of its games here, 3-2, to two MCALL foes. Post 339 lost to Broad St. Park, Saturday.
Hopewell (10-18) 000 000 020 00—2 6 4
Hightstown (12-14) 100 000 001 01—3 13 3

The long light filaments generated in air by powerful ultrashort laser pulses, previously attributed to self-channeling, were investigated by use of gigawatt pulses from a Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse-amplification laser system. A filament contained only a small fraction of the pulse energy and always ended at the diffraction length of the beam (), independently of the pulse energy. These features are explained by the moving-focus model, which is presented as an alternative to the self-channeling model. Computer simulations involving ionization of the air also support the moving-focus model.

Even though it's only five days into Rutgers' official start to the 2009 season, Greg Schiano likes what he's seen thus far.
"I do like the team that is coming together right now," Schiano said Sunday afternoon. "Five practices in, I think I see things that -- if we continue to get better at -- we're going to be pretty good."
The Rutgers coach still cautioned that there is plenty of work -- and practices -- to get through before he makes his final judgement.
But the biggest and most glaring question of training camp so far has been the progression and jostling for the starting quarterback position. Seniors Dom Natale and Jabu Lovelace are considered the frontrunners over sophomores D.C. Jefferson, Steve Shimko and the much-heralded freshman, Tom Savage.
"Depending on who the two or three guys are, we may have a starter and two backups," Schiano said about the possibilities of a quarterback-platoon. "Or maybe one for this situation, one for that situation. We'll see. It's hard to even speculate because we haven't scrimmaged yet. We have to get into a game situation and see how it unfolds."
Schiano is correct on that front. The five-man quarterback competition truly can't begin until Tuesday morning, when the first scrimmage of camp will take place.
As for who will get the bulk of the snaps, the Rutgers coach wasn't ready to tip his hand.
"I have my own thoughts," he said. "I'll talk with (co-offensive coordinators) Kirk (Ciarrocca) and Kyle (Flood). ... Clearly Dom and Jabu have to be working up front with the lead guys. But then we have to figure out how the other guys get their reps and who they get them with and against.
"An evolving quarterback battle, it's critically important -- the quarterback's the guy who really drives the bus -- but you've got to get the other stuff too. So it's not just as simple as those two guys."

Anyone give their DC lentils or other legumes/beans?? When? How did you prepare/serve them?
I give my DS lots of legumes. I started by making lentil soup (I actually posted the receipe on another thread about lentils) and picked out the lentils for him to finger-feed himself. DS enjoys refried black beans (I started with those smeared on his fingers and now that he is older he also eats them on soggy chips on nacho night). I hope that gives you a few ideas! Have fun!
We feed DJ whole beans (Pintos before they get refried) and Lima beans. They whole beans are this huge process where you have to let them sit in water over night and then boil off the water ad keep adding it ect....the lima beans are organic and frozen and we just grab a handful and boil them stove top. He loves both kinds!
I tried Lentils last night, boiled them for 15 minutes. They were a great finger food but made baby very thirsty.

An Ode to RnR
Reading Craig's List can be ever so droll
Were it not for the dorks who post poll after poll.
While some of the rants can be really bizarre,
Much amusement can be found, here on DC's RnR.
There are singles, and couples, and those that are divorcing,
And one fucked up guy who is obsessed with outsourcing.
There are fat chicks who hate thin chicks because they're so slender,
And people who hate fatties, regardless of gender.
The CL community includes Blacks, Latins, and Asians,
Not to mention of course, a preponderance of Caucasians.
There are well-written rants, and others with no basis,
Such as which is superior, among all the races.
There are Hill types and others who want to engage in political debate,
But others are just interested in whether to fuck by the third date.
Any sooner, and girls feel that they'll be labeled a slut,
Especially if they agree, to take it in the butt.
Craig's List includes numerous rants and raves
Because young women have sex with men twice their age.
Some women like it, some are nonplussed
But all older men approve – could it be lust?
Then there are men obsessed with the size of their wieners,
And rants from women about shitty dry cleaners.
There are posts from people who appear quite pragmatic
And others from those who are quite mellow dramatic.
All in all, CL is a great place to play
Especially if your employer is paying for your day.
this is in or around I love this place

TRENTON — Democratic leaders said today they are only "vaguely familiar" with Gov. Chris Christie's two Supreme Court nominees, and that it would be nearly impossible to hold confirmation hearings by mid-January, as Christie urged when he announced his picks on Monday.
"Luckily I don't work for him," said Sen. Nicholas Scutari (D-Union), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which conducts the hearings. "I'm not going to put a time frame on how long and when."
Christie said time was of the essence and that his nominees — Superior Court Judge David Bauman of Monmouth County and Robert Hanna, the president of the Board of Public Utilities — would fulfill the Democrats' wishes of keeping a partisan balance on the court.
"There is certainly sufficient history to show that they have confirmed people in even a shorter period of time," Christie said Monday, adding that the state Senate confirmed Bauman and Hanna to their current jobs "in the span of the last three and a half years," which should speed up the process.
Scutari, who is frequently at odds with Christie, said the Supreme Court is a different ball game. "All I got is the names of some people who I'm vaguely familiar with, and we'll start from there," he said.
Before any confirmation hearing, the Judiciary Committee reviews nominees' entire record in the courts, as well as personal finances, tax filings, driver histories and business dealings.
The process takes longer than a month, according to Democratic lawmakers. Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen), who sits on the Judiciary Committee, said "a timetable of doing this by (mid-January) — that's impossible."
The Democratic-controlled Legislature has been fighting Christie over court nominees since he declined to re-nominate John Wallace, the court's only African American justice, when his term expired in 2010. Justice Anne Patterson, who was Christie's first nominee to the court and replaced former Justice Roberto Rivera-Soto, waited for a year before getting a confirmation hearing in May 2011.
Earlier this year, the Judiciary Committee rejected Christie's previous picks for the two vacancies on the high court, questioning one's lack of courtroom experience and the other's family finances.
Christie said Monday that the panel needs to "get to work," citing judicial vacancies all over the state.
"Unfortunately, we've seen that we have nominations sitting out there for such a long period of time that are not getting attention," the governor said.
Bauman, 56, is a registered Republican who runs the civil division of Monmouth County's trial court system, and would become the Supreme Court's first Asian-American justice. Hanna, 54, is an independent who has worked under Christie since he was U.S. Attorney and donated to his 2009 campaign.
If confirmed, the Supreme Court would have two Republicans, two Democrats and two independents, according to Christie. Democrats argue that Christie should not count Justice Jaynee LaVecchia as an independent since she worked in the administrations of GOP governors Tom Kean and Christie Whitman. LaVecchia, who is registered as an unaffiliated voter, also served under former Democratic governor Jim Florio.

EAST GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Students at Lakeside Elementary took the time to give a touching tribute to 62 veterans on Monday, Nov. 12.
"A Veterans Day Salute" was coordinated by the school's music teacher, Kathy Larson. The seventh annual event included songs, a slide show of students' veteran relatives, and culminated with students waving red, white and blue streamers.
"The buy-in from the whole school is pretty impressive because you've got your writing pieces and your art, and your service projects, so it really brings our school together," Larson said. "(My) hope is that they realize there is something so much bigger than themselves."
Grand Rapids World War II Marine veteran Ray Lubenow, 89, spoke about his service in Iwo Jima and how the world needs to find peace.
"We've got to do something about stopping it," Lubenow said of war. "It's always foolish, it's always wrong. Most of the time, it's for revenge and God said 'revenge is mine.'"

FAIRMONT - Fairmont Area's Brooklyn and Sydney Leichtnam are not twins, but the soccer siblings displayed that uncanny sense of knowing each other's location on the field at Kot Soccer Complex in Fairmont.
Brooklyn Leichtnam delivered the initial blast that Mankato Loyola goalkeeper Kit Krmpotich deflected only to watch as Sydney Leichtnam hammered home the go-ahead and eventual game-winning goal only 10 minutes into the second 40-minute half.
Forward Riann Dietz's kickback goal off a Sierra Schultz assist, the Leichtnam-from-Leichtnam score, and stellar netminding by Alex Christianson and Jess Koskovich propelled the Cardinals to a 2-1 South Central Conference victory over the visiting Crusaders on Tuesday night.

"Our conditioning really paid dividends tonight," said Fairmont Area mentor Matt Nielsen. "I thought our players definitely used their speed to the outside to put a lot of pressure on them (Crusaders) during the second half."
After getting outshot by a 9-6 margin during the opening segment, the Cardinals displayed their stamina by posting a 6-4 edge in actual shots on goal during the final 40 minutes. Fairmont Area also generated eight near-shots compared to only three by Loyola during the second half.
Forward Natalie Shimon nearly cashed in Krmpotich's tip save off Lexi Johnson's left-wing blast during the opening minute of the second segment, but just missed by inches wide left.
Brooklyn Leichtnam then maneuvered her way through traffic near the top of the box to unleash a liner at Krmpotich that she blocked with both gloves. Sydney Leichtnam alertly anticipated the carom and pounded home the follow shot from the right doorstep at the 30:01 juncture for a 2-1 edge.
Schultz then utilized her Mercurial speed to nearly extend Fairmont Area's lead to 3-1 just seven minutes later. Schultz drove the right wing, weaved through defenders to the middle and rattled a laser off the crossbar.
Midfielder Hayley Jones then delivered a perfect curled lead pass to Schultz, who used a cross-over move to reach the point before releasing a sizzling liner just wide of the left post.
Koskovich later made the most important of her four saves on the game, corraling Loyola forward Emily Gaspar's 15-yard blast from the left point with 8:35 remaining in regulation.
Ironically, Gaspar delivered the Crusaders' only goal of the contest via a penalty kick at the 15:45 juncture of the opening half. The Cardinals were whistled for an inadvertent handball inside the keeper's box and Gaspar knocked home the equalizer.
Earlier in the first half, Schultz's rush down the middle and rising liner was batted down by Krumpotich. Dietz, however, gauged the deflection and drilled a quick-reflex follow shot from the right doorstep into the left corner of the net for a 1-0 lead at the 21:27 mark of the first half.

Pre-departureMartin Blood-Forsythe '10 | June 24, 2009
This week has been filled with sorting out all kinds of last minute details. Like figuring out what odd combination of buses we need to catch to get from the airport outside Bilbao to Santander (the city we'll be staying in), figuring out how to get from there to our apartment building, and of course packing! We were all relieved when Garrett's passport arrived last week. Aside from the minor stresses of getting ready to travel, our anticipation has made this week has felt very static. Occasionally it will hit me that I'm the only member of our group that speaks any Spanish. I haven't been to Spain since sophomore year of high school when I went on a concert tour of the Basque Country with my orchestra so I'm curious to see how different it feels now that I have a few more years of studying Spanish under my belt. I'm excited about the chance to explore a different provence of Spain, albeit one right next door.
Chema, the main researcher we will be collaborating with, generously found a place for us to stay and has told us all about Santander. Santander is the regional capital of the province and autonomous community of Cantabria, just east of the Basque Country. It is a small port city with a population of about 185,000. We'll be working at the Instituto de Física de Cantabria (IFCA), a research center at the University of Cantabria. The main areas of research at IFCA are nonlinear physics, astronomy, and instrumentation/software development (many researchers at IFCA contributed to the Planck Satellite). We're all really excited to have this opportunity to spend time at a professional research center and hear a little bit about what Chema's colleagues are working on.
" Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way."
-Ralph Crawshaw
More than anything else I'm looking forward to the change of pace. What's exciting to me about theory work is that you can never predict what's going to trigger an exciting and productive conversation. Discussion, argument, and varied setting are so central to the process because anything that will push you to think a little differently is a valuable contribution.
Once we get ourselves settled in I look forward to exploring the city. The food in Cantabria is supposed to be excellent and I've heard that there is a nice beach within easy walking distance of IFCA.

GRAHAM, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say it appears the husband of a missing Utah woman deliberately blew up a house, killing himself and his two young sons.
Josh Powell had just arrived for a visit that was supposed to be supervised by a social worker.
The Child Protective Services worker brought the two boys to Powell's home, and Powell let his sons inside — but then blocked the social worker from entering, according to fire officials. The social worker called her supervisors to report that she could smell gas, and moments later the home exploded.
Sgt. Ed Troyer, Pierce County sheriff's spokesman, said emails Powell sent authorities seemed to confirm that Powell planned the deadly blast.

The rain has changed to snow across most of western Mass. For now the snow is light but later on the snow should come down moderate, to at times heavy. This is when the heavy wet snow will start to pile up. The heaviest snow will fall between about midnight and 8 am. After that the accumulating snow will be over. It will still be snowing but with temperatures in the middle 30s, along with a high April sun angle the snow will melt away. The morning commute will be tricky however the snow may have a hard time accumulating on the main roads. Any snow on the roads should be melted away by lunch-time.
The highest amounts will fall across the higher terrain where between 4-8" will fall. In the valley we can expect between 2-4" of heavy wet snow. In places where the snow piles up over 5 or 6 inches there could be some scattered power outages as the heavy wet snow puts pressure on tree limbs and power lines.
Things will stay blustery and chilly through the weekend but at least the sun will return. Highs over the weekend will reach into the middle and upper 40s.
Have a great night!
Dan Brown

Is the metrosexual finally dead after all these years? The New York Times' Suzy Menkes sure seems to think so. Or, at least sees recent developments in men's fashion as "…not the return of the peacock male, but the retrenchment of the metrosexual," which is interesting. Menkes seems to be one of the few writers able to describe the surge in popularity of #menswear (LOLZ at the NYT style guide spelling it "mens' wear", shit gets me every time) without resorting to clichéd descriptors of men preening about their finicky obsessions over things like cuff size and pick stitching. Instead, Menkes recognizes the underlying bravado that cuts through modern men's style and fashion, nodding towards the indelible influence hip-hop and its biggest star has on the culture at large.
But for Menkes, the metrosexual didn't necessarily die as much as he was reincarnated into a brasher, earthier version of himself. Instead of "manscaping" and eaux des toilettes, guys shave and wear cologne that smells like wood. Metrosexuality was indeed #menswear's coming out. It was brazen and loud and unapologetic after years of being subsumed by rules. The era of suits and fedoras—of "stylish by instinct" men—actually never really existed. Guys didn't wear suits and ties with particular leg openings and fedoras because they wanted to. They had to.
Spending money on things like incense and shirts with leather sleeves is neither something to be ashamed of, nor something to be justified.
In the era of workwear and the neo-Neapolitan tailoring that seemed to immediately follow, men almost hid their interest in fashion behind the details and the stories of their garments. For a minute, #menswear was almost swallowed by its minutiae. We weren't interested in how we looked. We were interested in the garments themselves—the process, rather than its final outcome.
#Menswear defined itself as diametrically opposed to everything the term "metrosexual" stood as shorthand for. But it seems that #menswear, for all its retro obsession, focus on exclusivity, language and pop culture, has regained its enthusiasm. Men are embracing silhouettes and hemlines that wouldn't have flown in A Queer Eye's loftiest straight guy makeover dreams. Today, there seems to be excitement about clothing for clothing's sake. Menkes' new menswear seems to have more in common with the dandyism of Brummell and Balzac. Spending money on things like incense and shirts with leather sleeves is neither something to be ashamed of, nor something to be justified. New money motherfucker, check the knot. Brash and unapologetic, that's #menswear. And that's how it should be.

Post Time: 7:15
1 - MYPLACEONTHEBEACH could not be much sharper than in qualifier to begin 2014 campaign. Closer HANDSOFFMYCREAMPUF rallies if CUT A DEAL can cut out fractions along with top choice.
2 - CORAGGIOSO figures to be a 4-5 winner against three main foes in this field before breaking. Reverses finish with OMNIPOTENT, who had a horrible trip, and 24-1 winner MARION MONACO.
3 - CHECKNYOUOUT cuts back from 1 1/16th mile race after pressing the lead most of the way. PAULA'S BRADY never overcame second tier. ACADIA AS can set fractions or come off trot. Versatile. Playable.
4 - SADIES PLACE drops from Yonkers level. LANCO EXPRESS reverses finish with stuck-outside KAMWOOD LAUGHTER N.
5 - HELIOS keeps getting support since winning five races back at 24-1. Figures again. JIMMER beat cheaper with perfect trip carved out by Gingras. Stalks pacesetter DR CAL.
6 - JUSTATEQUILATALKIN never overcame Post 10. In better spot. WILLOW GRAM and ARIA J press the fractions setting up top choice.
7 - WHATA DONATO (BEST BET) romped here in first try off the van from Woodbine where mare faced better. Outside posts hurt RIVERFEST and BAMBINO GLIDE.
8 - THE SUMMER WIND hangs on this time after nearly going gate-to-wire at 5-2 with drop to this rung. HANDSOFFMYCUPCAKE and DREAM'S BAR drop from handicap jaunt.
9 - UPFRONTSTRIKESGOLD overcomes Post 10 with big finish trotting past MARCUS BI. SENTRY may have to be caught.
10 - NUTMEGS CIDER rallies off pace duel provided by NUTMEGS DESIRE and CHARLOTTES MAGGIE helped by stretching out to 1 1/16th miles.
11 - CRAZY EIGHTS breezed by 3 1/2 last time at this level. Back there. ENVIOUS HANOVER sets the pace. LADY SON YADOR A was impressive winner against C-2, but that also was the first timer at the Meadowlands after a Yonkers/Woodbine campaign. May just like the track.
12 - PILATUS has become a threat since going on Lasix two starts back. HURRIKANEBIGGEORGE cuts back in distance and should be stronger in the stretch. HOLD ON TIGHTLY discovered early foot since dropping to C-2s.
13 - GODDESS'S ROSA had to settle for second after big three-wide surge. Gets there this time. UP FRONT CRUISER must avoid speed duel with DELICIOUSLYNAUGHTY, but Gingras knows that.

Congregation comes home for Christmas
Christmas 2012 will always be special for members of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in LaPlace. Junior Warden Jeff Lind and volunteers worked diligently since Hurricane Isaac destroyed the church to repair the church so that the congregation could be celebrate worship in the church for Christmas.
Since Isaac, many church members relocated to another church to celebrate the Sunday service. The Rev. Don Owen, however, continued to hold the usual services for St. Timothy's in the parish hall.
"We have been moving chairs and altar furniture for the last three months so we could continue weekly services in our parish hall, and share the parish hall with the 3 and 4 year old preschool, which necessitated the furniture movement," Lind said.
But, for Christmas the sanctuary was ready. Long-time parishioners as well as visitors commented on how beautiful the new church looked, decorated especially for the Christmas season. The church thanks Liam O'Brien, LLC general contractor, who worked seven days a week to make sure the goal of holding the Christmas Eve service in the church happened.
Church members also banded together to rebuild the church and help others in need.
The St. Timothy's Altar Guild held a garage sale to raise money for items for the new sanctuary.

MAPLEWOOD — After weeks of watching political and legal developments Mayor Victor DeLuca had the vows ready, the new words "I now pronounce you - married" practiced.
DeLuca was busy this week – he officiated more than a dozen gay marriages over the course of this week, the first legal marriages in the Garden State since the Supreme Court cleared the legal way for exchanges of vows last week. Overall, Maplewood, pop. 23,000, issued 23 marriage applications from same-sex couples in the first week of their vows becoming legal. The town was eager to move on the newly-legal rights as soon as possible, the mayor said.
"We were ready to issue marriage licenses on Thursday," said DeLuca. "I don't know how you hold up someone's civil rights – that's why we moved aggressively."
Towns and cities have been issuing applications and licenses throughout the week. After Monday's kickoff day of marriage equality, there wasn't a huge onrush – but for a single week in October, dozens of people were getting married at the first opportunity. Some towns had a handful, some cities had dozens, others didn't keep track at all, because they're now marriage applications, the same as any other.
"We haven't been distinguishing – they're all marriages," said Tolonda Ross, the deputy city clerk in Jersey City.
Between 20 and 30 applications were issued by Jersey City – but city officials haven't been keeping track, because they're treated the same as opposite-sex marriages. Asbury Park issued 24 applications over the course of the week, and about 10 of the ceremonies have already taken place, their registrar said. Hoboken issued seven applications, according to the city registrar. Denville issued three applications over the course of the week, while Sparta, in Sussex County, issued one application on Monday, and the happy couple tied the knot in the council chambers on Thursday night, after the 72-hour waiting period, with the mayor officiating.
Not every town was keeping track. Montclair town hall had a "line out of the door" on the first day, and ceremonies were still taking place Thursday morning – but the town's registrar was unavailable today to provide a specific number of applications or licenses, officials said.
The marriages brought the same kind of nerves, relief and glow that other marriages do, DeLuca said.
"When you're holding hands and saying those words – it makes something special happen," he said. "To get the piece of pink paper saying you're married – it's an intangible thing.
"When you take away all that political stuff – it's just two peopple who love each other," said DeLuca.

When & how did you first introduce your child to brushing their teeth? **UPDATED WITH VIDEO**
They say it's never too early to introduce good habits to your children. That also holds true for introducing your little one to taking care of their teeth.
We gave 100 moms the chance to try Oral-B Stages toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss with their little children. We asked the moms to introduce the Oral-B Stages products to their kids and share their thoughts and experiences.
Some of those moms also received a video camera to record trying out Oral-B Stages with their kids - check it out!
When & how did you first introduce your child to brushing their teeth?
I am ready to post my review!!! =)
First off, I hve a 4 year old son named Dominic and a 17 month old named Kara, so I was excited to get something to try with both children. :)
This was a wonderful experience and just a little something to keep my kids excited about taking care of their teeth.
I have tried many different toothbrushes for my 4 year old, but he has never had a Toy Story toothbrush before, so that was exciting for him. My 17 month old was very slow with getting teeth so she has only been brushing for a short time. She got a Winnie the Pooh toothbrush, and was so excited to chew on it! =)
I started off young making sure that dental hygeine was important. Both kids see the dentist every six month. My four year old is so cute because he has gotten to the point that if we forget to brush his teeth he reminds me.
My best advice for getting your children in a good routine for brushing and flossing is to set a good example for them to follow. Also, explain to them frequently the benefits of taking care of their theeth as well as the consequences of not doing that.
It was perfect timimg getting chosen for this influencer, because my four year old has only just begun to floss his teeth. New flossers made him so excited to get to practice some more. :) I tried out the flossers on my 17 month old too! They make flossing a breeze!!
Its always nice to get reminders and this influencers is another reminder of how important it is to take care of our teeth.
Dominic loved his new supplies so much that he put everything back in the box when we were done, lol! He really liked the flavor of the toothpaste. We got bubble gum. I don't use any toothpaste on my 17 month old yet.
I made this a fun and memerable time, by taking lots of pictures to share with you all. :) Im so glad my kids got to participate in an influencer. Thank you again CafeMom and OralB! We will be using OralB in the future! Everything was great!!
Kara excited to open her toothbrush.
Brushing her teeth.
Dominic with everything he got. :)
Flossing his teeth.
Getting ready to brush.
Brushing so good!
All done! :)
Thanks so much for this opportunity. I was able to get a toothbrush for my 2yr old and 7yr old. My oldest loved the flossers. They was very excited with the characters that was on the brush. We started brushing when the 1st teeth appeared.
Thank you for my Oral-B package, CafeMom! My boys loved their new stuff! AND we had just made a visit to the dentist the week before so they have a whole bunch of new toothbrushes and toothpaste which make morning and night brushes even more fun for them!
My boys are 4 and 6. I did not know Oral-B had their stages for children and we had never used Oral-B before. My 6 yr old brushes his teeth by himself first and I finish to make sure there's no missed spots. My 4 yr old is still dependent on me to brush his teeth. Dentist's orders anyway. His teeth are really tight together so he gets cavities easily no matter how much we brush and floss. Both boys floss every night and rinse before bed. We try to brush teeth every morning but sometimes we're rushed and forget, but we always make sure to brush at night. Letting them pick out their own toothbrushes and toothpaste has always helped us in the brushing department. My 6 yr old is pretty good at flossing his own teeth but ds2 still needs my help.
When we received our package I let them open it and told them who's was who's. They were very excited! They liked the taste of the toothpaste which is always my biggest worry. I tried it too and I like it. :) My boys and I really like Oral-B and I see them choosing it in the future.
I started at his first tooth. He loves it when we brush teeth. I try to make hI'm laugh when I'm doing it. I sing a song and make a game out of it so he enjoys it. Dressing this kid let me tell you is completely opposite. he likes to be naked free ha ha
My goddaughter loves brushing her teeth with the new princess designs.
Thank you Oral B!
Quoting jenniferw10:
My son is 5 months old and we started using a gum brush that my dentist gave me. We used it several times a week to help him with teething as well as him getting use to something in his mouth.
I received the Oral B Winnie the Pooh toothbrush for Stage 1 (4-24)months. I started to use it on his gum and he loves it! The bristles on the brush are very soft and the toothbrush is an excellent size. He loves trying t grab things and it fits perfectly in his hands.
I will come back and tell more once we have used it with him a few more times.
I gave the Princess toothpaste and gum flossers to my goddaughter and she loves them as well. She thought the characters were great and she was excited to brush her teeth at night according to my friend.
Both of my kids had their teeth brushed around 6 months of age. We bought the little infant tooth brushes with the infant toothpaste offered by Oral-B. :)
Thank you Cafemom for choosing us to be part of the Influencer Program for Oral-B Stages.
My name is Marina. I have 2 boys who are 5 and 12 years old. When I first got my package, my 5 year old was really excited. The package included: 2 Winnie the pooh toothbrushes, one Toy Story toothbrush, one Toy Story toothpaste, and one bag of Buzz Light-year floss .
I opened the box and my youngest quickly opened the floss bag. I don't think he knew what they were for because I've never bought floss for young children before. I have flossed his teeth only a couple of times with adult floss. I did know there were Oral-B products for young children, but I've only bought Oral-B toothbrushes.
My son has been using the Toy Story toothbrush and Buzz Lightyear floss. We were unable to use the Toy story toothpaste because it contains fluoride. My son has been brushing his teeth at least twice a day. He is really good about that. He wasn't very good at flossing. I've been flossing for him for weeks now, but I have also been teaching him how to do it.
I did try the floss myself. It is easy to hold and works great.
My son loved these products. He is brushing his teeth right now without being told. : )
I will DEFINITELY be buying more Oral-B toothbrushes and floss for my kids in the future, and he will continue to floss everyday which he was not doing before receiving this package.
Thank you Cafemom and Oral-B.
I started brushing my boys teeth when they first started growing. Around 9 months. I now have a 12 year old, 4, and 16 month old DS.
My four year old loves to brush his teeth. He would brush his teeth all day long if I would let him. He was very excited to get a new toothbrush and toothpaste. Having Buzz Lightyear on his toothbrush made it that much better! He loves the tongue scraper on the toothbrush. This is his first experience with that.
My one year old is still getting used to the toothbrush. He tries to fight me the whole way. But I do end up winning in the end. Go mom! :)
My 12 year old was not included in this project but we went out and bought him a new OralB toothbrush so he could. His also has the tongue scraper and he wonders what he ever done before without one.
We brush our teeth twice a day. Morning and night. Sometimes more. Especially now since the boys are excited for their "gifts" from Cafemom. Thank you cafemom and OralB for giving us the chance to use your product. My oldest has already made it a fact that we will be buying OralB toothbrushes for now on. No more store brand...

Staten Island, NY – Sophomore midfielder Cory Santor (Glastonbury, CT/ Glastonbury) recorded career highs with five goals and three assists while three other Seahawks tallied four goals apiece as Wagner scored its most goals ever vs. a Division I opponent in earning its first win of the season by an 18-12 count over VMI.
Tuesday's game was played in brutal weather conditions, featuring pelting rain, high winds and a thick fog that rolled in intermittently throughout the contest.
The trio of Seahawks who sank four goals each were sophomore attackman David Decirce (Clarence, NY/ Clarence), freshman attackman Griffen Leclaire (White Rock, BC/ Hill Academy) and senior midfielder #Colin O'Rourke# (Worcerster, MA. St. John's Shrewsbury).
For Decirce and Leclaire, the four-goal efforts were career highs. O'Rourke, meanwhile, was coming off a career-high five-goal game vs. Mercer on Saturday and, with his four tallies today, now has nine goals and one assist in his last two outings.
The Seahawks' previous high output vs. a Division I opponent was 12, which they notched in a 12-7 win over Presbyterian on March 3, 2009. Since Wagner began its men's lacrosse program in 2000, today's 18-goal affair ranks third, behind two 20-plus goal games vs. Division III member CCNY. On March 21, 2001, the Seahawks defeated CCNY 20-3 and the following season set the all-time single-game goal mark in a 21-3 victory over the Beavers on March 6, 2002.
Wagner (1-5) will look to make it two in a row at Vermont on Sat., March 16 at 2:00 pm while VMI fell to 0-6. following today's loss. The Seahawks could easily be going for a three-game winning streak as they are coming off a back-and-forth 12-11 defeat to Mercer in a game in which they led late.
With today's 18-goal affair, the Green & White set a school-record for goals in consecutive games with 30.

Updated at 3:45 p.m. -- I'm back, two-and-a-half hours later, and to noone's surprise, the Yanks have been shut out 2-0. Texas starter Derek Holland, who never broke a sweat, gave up a mere two hits in a 92-pitch complete-game victory.
You can't predict baseball Suzyn, but it sure seems like Joe Girardi has raised the white flag even before the start of Thursday afternoon's rubber game vs. the Texas Rangers.
Phil (Gopher) Hughes is on the mound for the Yanks. Derek Holland takes the ball for the Rangers. Game time is set for 1:05 p.m.
Check out the lineup for the Yanks. I count at least four automatic outs!
CF Ichiro Suzuki; SS Jayson Nix; DH Robinson Cano; RF Vernon Wells; LF Zoilo Almonte; 1B Lyle Overbay; 2B David Adams; 3B Alberto Gonzalez and C Austin Romine.
I would play Brett Gardner and Travis Haffner. If I must use the nine G.I. Joe is rolling out, here would be my lineup: Almonte, Gonzalez, Ichiro, Cano, Overbay, Adams, Wells, Nix and Romine.
Since Ichiro is hitting with some pop, I bat him third. I also make sure to break up that 6-9 that Joe has in his lineup.
Either way, Girardi doesn't have much to work with.

First Bob Dornan, then Mike Carona, now it seems R. Scott Moxley has done it again by exposing Santa Ana Mayor-For-Life Miguel Pulido and his connections to the vending truck industry in Santa Ana. Apparently the Mayor forgot to disclose lot's of details about his connection to Abel Foods, which is the main provider to vending trucks in Santa Ana.

The Why:
While rebuilding the hydraulic piston assembly on my Grandpa's 1951 Cub, I ran into a problem. Removing the Regulator Valve Seat. After several different failures my cousin came up with this idea.
Materials List:
I purchased a Blackhawk 3/4" Deep Well Impact Socket at Carquest.
3/8" Drive Impact Set at Northern Tool
3/8" Pittsburgh Deep Well Impact Sockets at Harbor Freight
Individual sockets may be available as well.
I measured the width of the slots of the Regulator Valve Seat with small straight screwdriver. Then I transfered the measurements to the socket and using a bench grinder and some water to keep it cool, I ground it out to fit the valve seat. I finished up by deburring it with a file and some sand paper.
Here are a couple of pictures of the end result.
If anyone knows where to buy a tool like this, please let me know.

Re: "BP remains committed to spill response," Your Opinions, April 11.
While I am sure BP's Mike Utsler means well, and I'm also sure that he attempts to represent his employer well, he is mistakenly naive regarding one key statement in his letter.
Mr. Utsler mentions that BP has spent $22 billion in response, claims and other costs to date and remains committed to finishing the job.
Mr. Utsler does not acknowledge that it does not matter a whit how much BP has spent cleaning up its mistake. The company is obligated by both the law and business ethics to spend whatever is necessary to return the Gulf and associated lands to as close to the way they were prior to BP's greed-driven mistakes of 2010. The great majority of people in this area don't give a whit whether that is $22 billion or $22 trillion.
It's time for BP to spend sufficient money to actually remediate the area affected by its mistakes instead of spending millions on public relations campaigns designed to convince Joe Sixpack that it is a benevolent corporation whose only goal in life is the wellness of the Gulf of Mexico and those people who live by and earn their livelihoods from it.
We've had more than enough political back slapping, false information and self-praise from BP to last a lifetime. If the company doesn't wish to play by our rules, perhaps they should play elsewhere and allow oil companies that are willing to actually follow the rules access to the Gulf while they deal with places like Libya and Russia.

School may serve students once again
EAST LIVERPOOL – The now-shuttered East Junior High School could find renewed life as a school again if the city's plans come to fruition.
As part of the economic development plan being explored by Better City LLC, the East End school building could become the home of a New Castle School of Trades (NCST) project.
Better City is a Utah consultation firm recently hired to help revitalize the city.
In May, a letter was sent to the county's Community Action Agency regarding the CAA possibly serving on behalf of the city as the applicant and grant administrator for a pre-development grant for the project.
The $25,000 grant from The Finance Fund, a non-profit Columbus organization, would be used to hire professional service firms for pre-development of the project. This would include conducting a feasibility study, securing financing and architectural and design services.
The city would provide a 20 percent match for the grant.
Service-Safety Director Ryan Estell said this week that the city is too small to apply for and administer some grants and so it asked the CAA to consider serving in that capacity.
The CAA would be responsible for ensuring all requirements and guidelines are followed by the city in regard to the grant.
The project would entail utilizing the 36,000-square-foot former school to provide vocational courses designed to help re-train the area workforce to gain employment in the emerging gas and oil industry.
In his letter to the CAA, Estell noted that the project would be beneficial to both the city and the agency since students enrolled in the New Castle School of Trades would not only be trained for potential employment but would possibly require the health services provided by CAA clinics and transportation provided by CARTS, operated by CAA.
In a letter this week to the Finance Fund, Estell expressed the city's support for the pre-development grant for the NCST project, saying the project will "greatly assist" in expanding the revenue base of the grant applicant, the CAA, by providing increased ridership for CARTS and additional health and dental patients for its medical centers.
Additionally, Estell wrote, the grant would be instrumental as a catalyst for the first phase of a multi-phase downtown revitalization. Some of the ideas being discussed include a theater and parking structure, a hotel, charter school and field house.
Estell said in his letter, "The (city) is beginning to emerge from decades of disinvestment and business exodus," explaining the declining financial climate that began with the closing of Crucible Steel and the loss of more than 6,000 area jobs.
"Currently, the city has been re-inventing itself as businesses look to relocate in the city due to our prime location in the Utica/Marcellus shale region. We hope to continue with this recovery and have made many positive strides that will position us to be competitive in the future," he wrote.
Estell said this week that, in addition to waiting on word about the grant, the city is waiting on companies to provide floor plans so estimates can be secured from contractors to determine the cost of refurbishing downtown buildings to fit the companies' needs.

Four Democrats and two Republicans are in the special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat that opened when Frank Lautenberg died last week.
The Republicans are Somerset physician Alieta Eck and former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and Reps. Frank Pallone and Rush Holt all filed papers to enter the Democratic race.
The deadline to get on the ballot for the Oct. 16 election was 4 p.m. Monday.
Meanwhile, the man Gov. Chris Christie appointed to fill Lautenberg's seat until the special election, Jeffrey Chiesa, took the oath of office on Capitol Hill on Monday.
The 47-year-old Republican is a longtime Christie colleague. He won't run in the special election to complete the term, which expires in January 2015.
Chiesa is the first Republican senator from New Jersey since another fill-in back in 1982.
With Chiesa's arrival, the Senate has 52 Democrats, 46 Republicans and two independents who often vote with the Democrats.

|[na-user] Dx logging in the NAQSOP
|James E Brown <email@example.com> (James E Brown)
|Tue, 21 Jan 1997 14:03:44 -0500
I used NA for the first time in the January NA QSO Party, so am learning. It appeared that when the contest loaded up for the NAQSOP, the country files were loaded. However, I had several DX stations call me during the contest, and when I tried to log them, NA would not let me. I realize that the NAQSOP is primarily for North American contacts, but still DX contacts count for QSO points. Of course they must be logged for credit. It seems that if the Country files were loaded, they must be there for some reason for this contest. I finally got some on-air advice from another NA user, who told me to enter "DX" in the QTH block. When I did this, the QSO was logged. Is this the way it is supposed to work? Why are the Country files loaded for this contest if they are not used?

I'm left-handed and the L breast is larger
I'm left-handed and the R breast is larger
I'm right-handed and the R breast is larger
I'm right-handed and the L breast is larger
My breasts are the same
For me, I was fairly certain that my left was better was because I would nurse on the left and type one-handed with my right (good) hand right from the beginning. I dunno, given how evenly the poll has turned out so far, it seems like it might be fairly random.
I'm a rightie and my left is bigger -- I think without realizing it I preferentially nursed on the left in the beginning; my LO's latch was bad on the right to begin with and he gave me a painful nipple crack.

My right breast has always been bigger and even bigger now they almost look like two different people. I exclusive pump and the right breast always makes more milk also.
Initially this was true for me. But I believed every thing I read about supply and demeand and found it to be true. So it can be totally manipulated by you.
IN that if you block feed two times on the smaller side to every one on the dominant side, it will even out within about a week. And you can also pump on the smaller side only in between feedings and that will also help the smaller side to match the other. I actually had a few months where the smaller side actually got BIGGER and of course I just needed to ease up on the amount of attention I paid to it.
I think we all have goals in life of even boobs. And EVERYONE has one that's bigger most of the time. During breastfeeding this is the only time you can completely manipulate actual even Steven breasts. I love that.
Way too lazy for formula
Well, I am right handed, my left boob is bigger, and my right actually produces more milk, even though its smaller. And I can NOT get my left to produce any more than it does because I am pretty sure I have some damaged ducts as a result of severe mastitis with my first.
