My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken."
Two years ago, Lorrie's mother was murdered. But that wasn't the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie's father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.
The two most important people in Lorrie's life are both gone but she's still alive.
Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to "normal."
Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, "the Hammer."
Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he's got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he's got a devil-may-care attitude, he's fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can't defeat.
Lorrie knows that Hunter is the exact type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.
As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?
I loved this! Both of the main characters are lovable, I loved the fact that they started as friends then their relationship blossoms into something better, I loved the that they gave each other the solace that they both badly needed.
Hunter just like most of the hero in any romance book is a hot, good looking and popular but I liked that unlike most of the hero he's not cocky and bossy in an alpha kind of way, instead he's patient with Lorrie and he offered friendship first when he realize that Lorrie is different from the other girls plus he rescued the kittens! how adorable is that?!
Lorrie, our girl even-though damaged is a fighter and not a pushover , she knows what's better for her and she tries hard to do that no matter how hard thus fighting her attraction to Hunter.
I enjoyed and loved and I might re-read this sooner than I planned. I recommend this to all romance book readers. Can't wait to read the book 2.

Any parent living in London will know of the challenges that can involve.
But a new survey reveals that mothers and fathers in the capital are the loneliest in the country.
According to charity Action for Children, parents in the capital feel lonely and isolated, and cut off from friends and other sources of support.

The life, impact and achievements of Harriet Tubman, the well-known African American humanitarian and abolitionist, is commemorated in the newly built Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, in America.
Harriet Tubman is an icon of American history. To help visitors appreciate her many accomplishments hsd created an emotive experience in collaboration with the National Park Service, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Maryland Tourism, GWWO Inc. Architects, and the local community. The visitor centre is located on a 17-acre plot and is surrounded by Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.
There are very few structures remaining from Tubman's time in Maryland therefore the landscape, which has only changed little, is a vital interpretive tool. Tubman knew the natural environment of the Eastern Shore intimately and used her knowledge of the landscape to lead approximately 70 people out of slavery. These achievements are creatively interpreted within the visitor centre through a modern reconstructive approach and sensitive AV installations.

Unlike some Volvos the C30's electro-hydraulic steering is very direct and provides excellent feedback.
How It Drove - Ride and Handling
Unlike some Volvos the C30's electro-hydraulic steering is very direct and provides excellent feedback. There is minimal body roll and the ride although firm is pretty good even on uneven road surfaces, the ride is aided by fully independent suspension. This set-up allows for a small degree of passive rear-wheel steer when cornering to boost stability and control. Overall the Volvo C30 handles well but is not as sharp or as good to drive as the Ford Focus it is based on.
DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) is standard on every Volvo C30, preventing wheel spin or skidding by either braking the wheel that has lost traction (up to 25mph) or, above 25mph, by reducing engine power. Sensors detect the onset of a skid and the appropriate wheel is then slowed to restore control. In every case, the driven front wheels get no more power than they can safely transfer to the road.
All Volvo C30's get front ventilated disc brakes and solid rear discs. The ventilation helps brake cooling, and improves braking performance at high-speed or during repeated stops.
Some driver's might not like that the hand brake is set up for the LHD market and it might be hard to release for some users.
Ease of Use
All round vision is pretty good but we felt the brushed aluminium style door mirrors were a little too small.
Getting in and out of the front of the Volvo C30 is a little challenging for some, the front doors open wide however they are quite heavy but reassuringly solid when shut. The sills are quite wide and there does seem to be an extra lip attributed to R Design body kit, which often rubbed against our trousers when getting in or out.
The Volvo C30 is designed to seat four people therefore instead of a bench seat for three people in the rear, there are two distinct seats, in which all but the tallest of adults should feel comfortable. The two individual rear seats are wider and offer much better lateral support than a conventional bench. The long rear windows help to give the rear seat passengers the feeling of sitting in the front. The Volvo C30 is a three door car so access to the rear is best left to the nimble and mobile, although the front doors do open quite wide.
The two individual rear seats fold nearly flat into the floor and there is a ski hatch between the two seats to accommodate your skis!
Access to the boot is through the glass tailgate which offers fairly easy access aided by the low boot to floor height. Our test car was fitted with the hard load cover (you can opt for a soft cover) which hinges up on opening the boot. The load cover can be removed which is fortunate as we did find it a little awkward to get larger items through the aperture. There is 433 litres (VDA) of luggage space available with both the rear seats up which increases to a reasonable 947 litres when the rear seats are folded down. With the seats down you can carry lengths of up to 1.5 m in the boot.

I finally decided to migrate the last of my vmware-server systems to KVM.
The process is pretty simple and this is what I did.
- As my vmdk file was split into many 2Gb chunks I had to firstly convert that into a monolithic file. This is easily achieved with the vmware-vdiskmanager utility supplied with vmware-server (or at least the version 1.0.x of vmware-server I was running 🙂 )
vmware-vdiskmanager -r winxp.vmdk -t 2 winxp-full.vmdk
The -t 2 is the important part taking all the 2Gb chunks *referenced* by the vmdk file and creating an equivalen single pre-allocated vmdk file.
- Once you have that file then it's a simple qemu-img command to convert it to something that KVM is happy with. In my case I wanted QCOW2 format.
qemu-img convert winxp-full-flat.vmdk -O qcow2 winxp.img
You will notice that I said -full.flat.vmdk – this is the pre-allocated file referred to by the new winxp-full.vmdk file.
- That's it 🙂

Your ID Theft Prevention To-Do List
What to do about threats from scammers
The Truth vs. The Scam:
Work at home processing or reshipping checks, money orders, envelopes, and/or merchandise; receiving money wired into your account; writing checks on somebody else's account; secret shopper jobs; forwarding cash received in a package, by mail, by Western Union or MoneyGram; and receiving credit cards or gift cards from a foreign employer or someone you met online.
This page: Writing and signing checks on someone else's account • Forwarding loose checks and envelopes.
Please take your time; read through the material carefully.
Basics of the scam • Forwarding package and/or payments • Money wired into your account • Re-wiring Western Union or MoneyGram payments • Writing checks • Forwarding loose checks and sealed envelopes • Secret Shopper jobs • Forwarding cash received by mail or package • Receiving credit cards or gift cards
Writing and signing checks on someone else's account
You cannot legally write your name on any account unless you have properly identified yourself with the bank and have signed the signature card.
To be named a signatory on an account that is not your own, the account holder must clearly state that it is his or her wish that you be authorized to sign checks.
To authorize you to sign on his account, the account holder must complete a new signature card which you must also sign. Before your signature is accepted by the account holder's bank, you must present valid identification to the bank, just like the account holder had to do when he opened the account.
Signing someone else's check
To sign a check on an account that is not yours and on which you have not been listed as an authorized signer (see above) is a criminal act called forgery and you can be arrested, convicted, and sent to jail for committing forgery.
To paste a person's signature on a check is a criminal act called forgery and you can be arrested, convicted and sent to jail for committing forgery. A check is not valid unless the check itself has been signed.
Forwarding loose checks and envelopes
Scammers will often send sealed envelopes and loose checks to their employee targets with forwarding instructions.
The loose checks, money orders, Traveler's checks, and other drafts are counterfeit and the recipients are other Payment Processing Scam and Overpayment Scam victims.
The sealed and addressed envelopes contain counterfeit checks and money orders - and sometimes cash - and the recipients are other work-at-home employment scam victims who have received forwarding instructions.
As stated earlier under Forwarding packages, when the scamployer asks you to spend your own money on shipping costs, in this case, to buy stamps and envelopes, don't think for a minute that you will be reimbursed.
When the scamployer provides a carrier account number, such as a FedEx account number, to cover mailing costs, the account number is one that has either been hijacked from a legitimate company (usually a large corporation) or one that has been paid for with stolen credit card information.
Scammers never spend their own money if they can help it, and they certainly never spend their own money on any of their victims.

West Kendall
Miami Beach police officers' teenage son, in coma since May, has died
Dwayne Mitchell, a teenager who fell into cardiac arrest and then into a coma last May, died Friday. He was the son of two Miami Beach Police officers.
Dwayne had been a senior at G. Holmes Braddock High School in West Kendall approaching graduation. In May 2015, he was at his house in Southwest Miami-Dade with his family when he started coughing loudly. Shortly after, his heart stopped beating. His older brother found him unresponsive in the guest room and did CPR while paramedics were on their way.
On the way to the hospital, the 18-year-old athlete — a wide receiver before a leg injury slowed him down — went into cardiac arrest for about 20 minutes. His brain swelled.
He remained in a coma at Promise Hospital in Miami Lakes, a long-term acute-care center that opened in May. Machines helped him breathe most of the day. Mitchell had contracted a viral infection, and tests revealed he had a rare heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which had gone undetected.
"I am amazed how this young man has been in a bed since May, unable to communicate and has touched lives all over the world," said Jorge Alessandri, a Miami Beach police officer and close family friend. "God has absolutely had his hand on this."
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a rare condition that can be detected through an electrocardiogram (EKG).
But an EKG, a simple, fast and painless test of the electrical activity of the heart, is not a recommended automatic test for the estimated 10 million or so high school and college age athletes, like Dwayne, who undergo physicals before playing in team sports.
Those who oppose mandatory screenings, like the American Heart Association, cite the cost for such a program, said to be about $2 billion per year to start up, and the potential for false readings that can lead to unnecessary testing and anxiety.
On Friday, the police department tweeted its condolences to detectives Christopher and Shantell Mitchell over the death of their 19-year-old son.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family of Detectives Chris & Shantell Mitchell on the death of their son. pic.twitter.com/VBH9JqaGHe— Miami Beach Police (@MiamiBeachPD) March 11, 2016
Mitchell's parents started the Dwayne Have a Heart foundation to spread awareness about the condition. The family also launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for Dwayne's medical mounting medical bills. They have collected more than $46,000.

An endangered Sumatran tiger found with serious arrow wounds all over its body was rescued from a wire trap in protected Indonesian jungle, officials said Tuesday.
The five-year-old male tiger was found on Monday in Bengkulu province on the lush island of Sumatra with nine arrow wounds estimated to be four days old, Bengkulu's conservation agency chief Supartono told AFP.
"When we found him, he was lying weak on the ground with his front left leg held up in the air, entangled in a wire trap attached to a tree branch," Supartono said.
The trap was likely set up by poachers looking to sell the rare animal's body parts on illegal markets, Supartono said.
"They use steel wire to trap it by the leg so it doesn't destroy its body. These traps are designed for tigers, not the wild boars that the community here hunt."
Supartono said it was likely local people had shot the arrows at the tiger out of fear after finding it trapped in the forest.
The conservation agency found several similar traps in the province last year and was working with police to find a suspected group of poachers.
There are fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers left and environmental activists say the animals are increasingly coming into conflict with people as their natural habitat is rapidly deforested.
Earlier this month, Thai customs officials seized four boxes of smuggled tiger skins and bones worth $60,000 believed to be en route from Indonesia to China.
Bangkok-based anti-trafficking group Freeland said that poaching and trafficking of tiger meat, bones and skin was a key cause of a precipitous decline in Asia's wild tiger populations.
Numbers are estimated to have fallen to only 3,200 tigers worldwide, from approximately 100,000 a century ago.

Is mid-interviewing video bombing the next 'Call Me Maybe' for college baseball teams? Members of the Minnesota Gophers' squad decided to sit down for a quick shave behind coach John Anderson's mid-game interview on the Big Ten Network.
Perhaps the best part of the prank by Bobby Juan, JT Canakes and Chris Schaaf is that Anderson is completely oblivious to what's going on:
"It seems like your team is nice and loose and the dugout behind you," the interviewer told him.
"Yeah I think so," he replied.
Minnesota, for the record, lost that game against Nebraska and was eliminated from the Big Ten tournament.

In the spring of 2013 the municipality of Maassluis, the Netherlands, commissioned Omgeef and Sigrun Lobst to design a large nature play area. The city's ambition to create an area for all citizens to enjoy enabled the designers to exemplify the benefits of participatory design. Added to this, they were given the objective to design a natural play area that would be accessible to, and well suited for, children with a disability. At least 70 percent of the overall area was to be made accessible to children in a wheelchair. An important insight during the design process was to realize that participatory design and inclusive design are essentially co-productive. The ambitious goal to create an area for such a wide group of users, including children with a disability, motivated everybody to come together. The shared goal became a shared vision and a challenge that energized the development, well into the production stages.
Already one year prior to the development of Avonturis, the city acknowledged a shortage of informal, outdoor play spaces. In addition, the city had made plans to develop a recreational area close to the city in order to provide better facilities for healthy living. The city had researched different options and concluded that a nature play could be an integral part of such an area. Because of the area's city-wide function the city aimed to develop the area, and the nature play area in particular, in close cooperation with citizens, including children.
Children's involvement
Alongside the involvement of other citizens, co-design with children was essential for the adaptation of the area. Because of the area's city-wide function the city wanted to involve a large number of children during the development stages, including children with a disability. For this purpose the designers developed an educational program that teachers at local schools could use. The outcome of the program summarized children's associations and expectations and formed the basis for a combined vision that was used to further develop the area in co-creation with other citizens. In later stages, co-design sessions were held together with children and professionals in order to improve understanding and consolidate design choices. Overall, involving many different groups, and enabling close cooperation between them, established a common ambition - to develop an area for all citizens of Maassluis.
Outputs and outcomes
Since its opening in June 2014, Avonturis has been hugely popular amongst children, adults and visitors from other cities. A large group of volunteers and ambassadors are now involved in the use and maintenance of the area. Schools organise outdoor lessons and different parties organise their own activities. Neighborhood citizens use the area for their daily stroll and children and parents alike enjoy visiting Avonturis in their own right.
People's contributions during the development and construction phases of the project can be seen as the first steps towards building a sustainable community.

Australia gunman was 15-year-old
Australian authorities say the shooting of a police worker in Sydney by a 15-year-old boy was 'linked to terrorism' . Paul Chapman reports.
Australian authorities say the killer who shot dead a civilian police worker at close range in Sydney on Friday was a 15-year-old boy. The teenager was himself shot dead by police at the scene. Police say the boy came from an Iraqi-Kurdish background and was previously unknown to them or to counter-terrorism officials. Investigators say the shooting was politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism. Australia's prime minister says the country's Muslims should not be blamed or vilified. (SOUNDBITE)(English) AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER MALCOLM TURNBULL SAYING: "It's a shocking crime. It was a cold-blooded murder targeting New South Wales Police Service. It was doubly shocking because it was perpetrated by a 15-year-old boy and it underlines the importance of families, communities, leaders, being very aware of whether your people are becoming radicalised. It's also important to remember that the Australian Muslim community will be especially appalled and shocked by this." Friday's attack was the latest in a series of incidents in Australia linked to radicalised youth. A boy the same age was given a life jail term in Britain the same day for inciting an attack in Australia. In September police shot dead a Melbourne teenager who stabbed two counter-terrorism officers.

As an entrepreneur, you are likely familiar with feeling chills going down your spine when you are doing something completely new and "risky". Or perhaps you see the visual image of your new project in your mind's eye and you feel your heart starting to race with excitement. Or maybe you recall the time when you woke up in the middle of the night with the sounds or images of what may bring you to the completion of another phase in your life. At that point, you may have felt such a surge of energy that you just vibrated with your feelings and thoughts for a while before you managed to fall asleep.
And the list of the entrepreneur's life expressions goes on…
You are here to be of service to others and you want your business to help you thrive on all levels. Here are some of the tips that will support your abundant happiness in your business and life.
1. The act of giving and receiving. It starts with your breath. Awareness of your breath is the first step to creativity, abundance, and health. It's an act of constant giving and receiving. This flow applies very much to your business and your personal life. Think of your inhale as receiving and exhale as giving. Allow for balance between the two as you likely know that too much giving will "shrink" you and excess receiving may make you "burst" like a balloon.
Did you know that in some ancient Asian traditions a person's age is not measured by the number of years but by the number of breaths taken? One simple tool you can use to remind yourself of your breathing is your calendar. Set up regular reminders (every hour or so) to become conscious of your breath. This simple process may not only help you become a better business person but may just reduce your biological age as well.
2. Practice acceptance. Has it happened to you that something didn't work out the way you wanted it? Maybe your last project or meeting with a client? Did you feel like you want to scream, "No this is not what I want!" Or perhaps you tightened up inside and wished things were different? I cannot say enough about acceptance. No matter what the present moment brings, accept it and then choose your action.
Going with the flow will unfold new opportunities and new ways of looking at things.
3. Treasure your life's checking and savings account. I am a big fan of ancient oriental wisdom. One thing that I embraced many years ago was the concept of my life's energy. When we are born, we come to this world with a supply of finite life energy. Think of it as your savings account that cannot be replenished. We were also awarded with another supply of energy that we can replenish easily with the way we eat, live, move, think, feel, etc. Keep depositing into your checking account daily with a healing and balanced lifestyle in order to keep your savings account for the later years of your life or major emergencies.
4. Nurture the feeling of abundance. Often people think that abundance means owning things, being highly regarded by others or having a famous name. While all these aspects do add value, abundance is really a state of one's mind. You can have all the fame, fortune, and money in the world but if you don't feel abundant within, nothing will get you there. My advice: Nurture your inner state of abundance daily. Hold the feeling of abundance within you and cherish it like your breath.
5. Determine your representational system. What is the primary way you tend to process challenges now – kinesthetic, visual, or auditory? Next time you deal with a challenge, write down how you experience the process. Don't edit, just write.
Then, awhile later, pick up the piece of paper and notice carefully what you wrote down. Did you experience the moment through sensations and feelings? Did you have images or did you hear sounds?
Try this exercise a few times noticing your tendency to process challenges. If you find yourself predominantly expressing yourself through one representational system only, try to uncover new ways of looking at things. (i.e. if you found yourself processing challenges mainly through sensations and feelings, practice expressing yourself visually through drawings or imagine hearing words of someone you admire). Side-effect: You may learn some really exciting things about yourself! If you find it difficult to do it on your own, find a partner in this process (whether a friend or a professional).
And for those days when you feel you need a boost to your immune system, to your creativity, to your sleep, I suggest you check out my recording called Journey Within. It will take you on a journey within yourself to reach the incredible resources that are available to you. Allow yourself to float with ocean waves in this peaceful, guided relaxation and visualization. Remember that everything you desire is within you.

Even as I left the last comment, I wondered what was wrong with me. That the last thing I needed was more fabric I had no idea how to use, even though I promised that if I won I'd make something and post it on July 4. I contented myself with the fact I wouldn't win. OF COURSE, that's where I went wrong! I shouldn't have thought that. Or maybe I should be glad because I think I came up with something kinda cool. It's TOTALLY out of my typical style and I learned a lot so let's get down to it and share with you what I did.
Go take a look at the other participants creations. There's some nice creativity out in blog land and for the loving gingham crew (which I'm now firmly entrenched), it's some good inspiration for this nice fabric.
Elizabeth, of Occasional Piece-Quilt
Krista, of KristaStitched
Cindy, of Live A Colorful Life
Rachel of The Life of Riley
Kris, of Duke Says Sew What
Additionally, I'm linking this post to 2 other linkee parties I like to participate in. Sew and Tell Friday by AmyLouWho (although it's only through Instagram this week #sewntell) and Favorite Things Friday by Quilting in My Pyjamas b/c Gingham is once again a favorite of mine thanks to this project!
Now, onto the details. I started with the winning green, yellow and brown bundle and an idea. The idea came initially as a joke in one of the giveaway questions, "what would you do with the gingham?" I replied, "something with the NY Beauty block, Dresden plates and Sunbonnet Sue."
I then pulled all the gingham fabrics I could find from my own stash.
After that, I pondered. I knew I wasn't obligated to the idea I threw out but I also couldn't shake it and so I decided to challenge myself by using each of those three patterns. Between Sue and the red gingham, a picnic scene was easy to imagine. Green gingham for grass, red for a blanket, blue for sky and brown for a picnic basket and Sam's clothes.
So I cut out a Sue and Sam. Immediately, I knew I could not have Sue in gingham. I'm not sure why, but she had to be different and stand out. Since this was due to be revealed on July 4th (I'm sorry I'm late everyone), I chose patriotic fabric for her dress.
Since most picnics occur in the sunshine, well, the NY Beauty became the sun.
But how can I get dresden plates in there? And how to use the the flowered gingham I had? Wait, fields of flowers and a fence. Yes!
I realized that this meant I needed to be conscious of depth in the design now and that was my most difficult part. I made a mistake with the pink bushes on the bottom right, where I should have reduced their size as I went toward the middle.
Despite noticing it was off somehow, I didn't figure it out until after all the quilting. I certainly wasn't going to change it then! LOL
I decided to quilt each part differently in an effort to keep a pictorial look. The sky is simple waves and the sun, radiating out.
The flower fields, well, accented to look like fields at a distance, I hope.
The grass is in small, spiky type design. I felt like it was an EKG line as I was quilting it so that's what I'll call it. "EKG continuous line design." -grin-
I have it all quilted and ready to bind when a friend comments I should quilt little ants into it. Brilliant, but since I don't want to reload it onto the frame, I pondered embroidering the ants after the fact. However, during a little sewing room clean up, I ran across a scrap stash and found fabric with ants on it. How lucky was that? I put Steam-a-Seam strips on the back, painstakingly cut them out and then ironed those babies on. The result went from a quilt I was proud of and liked to a quilt I was proud of and really brought a smile to my face.
I am proud bring to you, "Despite the Memo re: Gingham Day, Sue Does Her Own Thing"
Since my mom's birthday is in a couple of weeks, and since she loves Sunbonnet Sue and Sam, plus most of the gingham was hers to begin with, this little baby is going to her as a birthday present. I know she'll be tickled.
And now you know, between work and this little bugger, why I haven't been posting.

Hence, a starting cash-in-hand salary of approx Rs 32,000 per month for a young and aspirational man joining IAS might appear meager. On June 14, 2016, Secretary John B. King, Jr. will be shadowing Raquel to bring attention to the disparities in teacher pay amongst Pre-K teachers.

Those who have very good education excellent knowledge great comminication sikll they can only see the dream for ias.
In democratic systems, where the party in power has been selected by well-known vote in a public election held in free of charge competition with other parties, Acts of Parliament and other statutes give the guidelines which define how the education system is to be organised and managed.
In numerous nations, governments nonetheless sustain really tight central manage more than most elements of education. Secretary Peyser holds a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from The Fletcher School (Tufts University) and a Bachelor of Arts from Colgate University. This is evident given that every single area has its personal education price range and is responsible for education, staffing and infrastructure. So I advise all my friends who are in search of job in this firm to consider once again just before taking final selection.

One of the greatest challenges for a teacher or instructor is to discern what students are actually learning and thinking. All teachers have the experience of expounding on a key topic, with wonderful images, diagrams, and examples, only to find out on the subsequent test that half the class completely missed the point (see "Our expert advice remains unheeded" by Terry McGlynn). With classroom response systems, such as clickers and web-based bring-your-own-device systems, teachers don't have to wait until the exam; they can find out within minutes, and try other ways of getting the point across.
Classroom response systems first came to national attention among college instructors via Eric Mazur's Peer Instruction. Many instructors began to apply clickers in a variety of ways, as described by Derek Bruff in Teaching with Classroom Response Systems. These clickers allowed instructors to pose multiple-choice or true/false questions (some also allowed numeric or short alpha-numeric responses). Especially in large classes, clickers encourage all students to engage and answer the questions, and can lead to productive peer discussion (Smith et. al 2009).
We began using clickers several years ago in our large Intro Biology classes. I sprinkled several clicker questions through each of my lectures, and found them particularly useful in pre- and post-instruction assessment (see my Lac Operetta post as one example), and for exposing student misconceptions.
As with any technology, we did run into a few issues. Infra-red clickers had limited range and capacity, and we were restricted to lecture halls that were outfitted with the receivers. A switch to RF technology with USB receivers allowed us to use them in any classroom, but we still had occasional issues with dead spots in large lecture halls, and making sure that the receiver was placed in a suitable location. We also found some students who had multiple clickers, so their friends who skipped class would be counted in attendance and get credit for class participation. As we began to incorporate case studies, and especially after I adopted the flipped class model, the restriction to multiple-choice questions began to seem confining. If we want students to engage in a variety of activities during class, surely they should be answering a variety of question types.
This past year, in the 200-student Intro Biological Principles class in the fall and in the 30-student Developmental Biology class in the spring, I used Learning Catalytics (LC) as the classroom response system. LC is a web-based, bring-your-own-device system where students can use a laptop, tablet or smartphone to solve problems and answer questions either during or outside class. Developed by Eric Mazur, LC was sold to Pearson, who now packages it with their Mastering series of online homework and tutoring solutions that accompany their textbooks. Unlike Mastering, however, LC is available as a stand-alone product (no Pearson textbook required), for $12/semester per student (as of May 2014).
I and essentially all of my colleagues who had been using clickers switched to LC because we thought the added benefits were well worth the extra work. I'll list the primary benefits from my own point of view, with some explanation:
1. Learning Catalytics is a step towards open education. Yes, it is a commercial product and costs money. However, instructors who write questions can make them available to other instructors anywhere in the world via the LC question database. All of the questions I have written are in the database. Instructors can search the question database by field (e.g., physics, chemistry, biology, engineering) and by instructor or meta tag. I have found a number of wonderful questions, and found inspiration for other questions, in the database. Multiple instructors can share a course and access each other's modules (class lessons). A module of questions can be saved as a pdf and shared or printed.
2. LC enables student sketches, drawing, and graphing. Student sketches or drawings can be viewed individually or as composite sketches. You can ask students to graph onto axes that you provide, or finish incomplete illustrations. I found this a truly powerful tool, that I need to exploit more. A framework allows comparisons among the student drawings and identifying common patterns. Students can engage with diagrams and illustrations in other ways, by identifying a correct region of a figure, or drawing a directional vector arrow.
3. A non-synchronous mode for group work on problem sets, case studies. In the non-synchronous mode, students can access all of the questions and answer them in any order. This is useful for homework, but also for flipped class sessions where groups of students can work through a case study or a set of problems at their own pace. The instructor can see student progress in real-time, and see what questions are posing the greatest difficulties. For short-answer or long-answer questions, I could see when students were misinterpreting a question or when they needed more information, and I could intervene. I could also see on the seat map which groups of students were struggling, and wander around the classroom to provide help.
4. A seat map facilitates group formation for peer discussion, and for identifying groups of students who need help. Students indicate at the start of each session where in the classroom they are sitting. LC uses this information to pair students who had same or different answers for peer discussion. With one click on the instructor screen, student receive information as to whom they should pair with to discuss the question and respond again. The instructor can also view the seat map to see which students got a question right or wrong.
5. The team mode provides IF-AT (immediate feedback assessment technique) capability. I have tried this a few times, and this provokes intense discussion. The team mode is restricted to questions that have correct answers (no sketches, or open-ended response questions). At the start of the session, students form teams (they register a team name). Then they answer questions individually. The instructor can end the individual round at a set time, or when most students have finished, and start the team round. During the team round, only one member of each team answers the questions. If the team gets the correct answer in the first try, the team gets maximum credit. If the first answer is wrong, they have to try again until they get to the correct answer. Each attempt reduces the credit for the team. At the conclusion of the team round, everyone knows the correct answers. Scores are tabulated as sums of the individual and team scores. The weighting of the individual and team round scores is adjustable from 0 to 100%.
6. Many choice question type for multiple true-false. This quickly became one of my favorite question types. Structured like a multiple-choice question, zero to all of the answer choices may be designated correct. Students have to evaluate each answer choice. Very useful for exposing common misconceptions.
7. Open-ended short and long-answer questions. Even in a class with 200 students, we found these questions quite useful. Think of this as a minute paper, with no time spent to distribute or collect the papers. The instructor sees the responses in real-time, as some students respond more quickly than others. Since the students cannot see names associated with any of these responses, the instructor can point to and discuss aspects of individual responses.
8. Multiple other question types provide variety and engage higher order Bloom's taxonomy skills. LC has a total of 18 different question types. Others I have used are: matching, ranking, highlighting, numerical, confidence, and priority.
What's the downside? What can (and does) go wrong? I've talked with my colleagues on campus and other faculty at other universities who have used LC. With very large classes (over 500 students), the lecture hall (or auditorium) may have limited wifi bandwidth. One instructor at another university told me that they have to have students choose just one device (laptop or phone) and turn off their other devices. I have run into wifi deadspots where I or a student had a troublesome wifi connection. The one thing I miss about clickers is that we used them for our multiple-choice exams. With LC, we had to revert to Scantron forms, as we had no way to prevent students from using their laptops to exchange emails or look up information during the exam.
Some instructors will worry that students will be use their laptops or cell phones for web surfing, texting or other off-task purposes during class. I think it's up to the instructor to keep the students engaged and on task. Even without laptops or cell phones, students found ways to disengage, whether it's exchanging notes, talking to each other, doing homework for another class, playing cards, or reading the newspaper (all things I found students doing in the back of the class while the instructor lectured). My own experience is that I can see what percentage of students have responded to each question and can pace the class appropriately to keep students engaged. Wandering around the class, I saw that laptop screens were on Learning Catalytics, with very few exceptions.
I have NOT had any issues with students not having a device. Georgia Tech does have a laptop requirement. But it's also rare that a student does not have a smartphone. The situation may be different at other colleges or universities, but with cell phone providers increasingly pushing smartphones, and the availability of cheap laptops and tablets for less than the cost of a textbook (or a new clicker), this issue will disappear entirely. In fact, I previously experienced almost daily issues with one or two students forgetting to bring their clickers. I had not one student come to me this past year about forgetting to bring a device for LC. Just one student had a low battery charge on her cell, but she was able to answer at least a couple of questions to record her presence in class.
I think that LC and similar web-enabled, BYOD systems like Top Hat and LectureTools are the logical next wave of classroom response technology. Even if all you want to do is ask multiple-choice questions, allowing students to use devices they already have is quite attractive. My own experience has been that LC involved less effort (no software to download and install, no additional infrastructure, no clicker registration) and was an easier transition than first adopting clickers, or transitioning from one clicker brand to another.
Student response to Learning Catalytics has been overwhelmingly positive. Seniors and even a graduate student in my Developmental Biology class saw the value and thought LC absolutely rocked compared to clickers. My favorite comment is from a freshman in the Intro class:
I like the way the professors let us engage in the class by solving learning catalytics questions. I wonder if other biology professors are using this methods too. If not I will be disappointed.
Now we just have to assess whether the greater variety of questions leads to any significant gains in student learning.

I remember someone telling me before I had Wyatt that they were sad and emotional that their baby was turning one… I remember thinking to myself "what a silly and odd statement." I now understand. His birthday was so bittersweet! Sweet because I get to celebrate this little human we watched go from a tiny purple potato who slept 22 hours a day to a little boy who runs crazy and loves to smile and live life. Bitter because there are so many "firsts" that won't ever occur again, I'm basically done breastfeeding, and this little baby all the sudden feels like little boy. I could stop now and let my eyes fill up with tears thinking about it, but I am going to choose to put my big girl pants on and finish this blog post.
I can't forget to thank Gina, who made all the adorable decorations for me! I am the least crafty person so I am so grateful for her.. and her cricket!
His birthday was a happy day for all of us, especially me and Gavin. We chose not to do gifts, instead we attached a little note to the invitations (see below) that asked our guests to bring an unwrapped gift for us to donate. I try to be very conscious about making sure our children grow up in home that understands the importance of giving back so although he may hate me for it later, he didn't receive any gifts for his birthday. If you look at the photo below you can see the gifts in the bucket of the Tractor! We have fun plans to go and donate the gifts in November before Christmas so I'm sure you'll see a blog post about that.
Friends and family came from all over, my best friends came, some from LA which was such a treat because although we are all at such difference places in our live, we are all able to come together and support each other which is really special. My mom friends all came and I loved seeing all our little kids interact. I feel super blessed to have so many awesome moms to learn from and laugh with, I'm so grateful for the genuine friendships I've made. It sounds silly but it meant so much to me to see the support and love that our people have for Wyatt, he has no idea how great he has it and I can't wait to watch him figure that out as he grows older.
We weren't about spending tons of money for his birthday, and I couldn't justify a 50 dollar cake so I decided to make it myself and you know what.. it was super special. We made it together, he ate the batter (which i later realized had raw egg, oops) and finished off the frosting. All around it was such a simple, unforgettable experience that I decided will now be a tradition (until Wyatt tells me otherwise)!
Wyatt loved being sung Happy Birthday, he looked around and smiled then cautiously approached the cake. He was quite confused about the frosting all over his hands, but once he tasted it, he was one happy camper. All he wanted to do was share with everyone! We invited all the little kids up to come take bites out of the cake, thus resulting in quite the cleanup!
Wyatt's first birthday was a day we will cherish forever, I know Wyatt will look at these photos one day and smile.. then get mad at me for creating the no gift rule haha!
Have a great week!

Who did this to Van Vicker? Naija vs Ghana
Peeps, it is not that serious oo! Van Vicker is (probably) only humorously mocking his opponents from Nigeria whom the Ghanaian team beat them 3-1 in a recent match. Yes, Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) had a novelty football match against Ghallywood's Ghana Actors Guild. Here's what Van Vicker had to say when he shared this photo via Instagram 2 days ago:
"We won 3-1 against nigeria actors guild but they rendered me injured by the 10th min on my way to score. Congrats to @princedavidosei and teammates for their goals. Wait for rematch in Oct in nigeria n see my skills. #NoWahala" -Van Vicker
The novelty football match between Nollywood and Ghollywood (Ghallywood) was held last Thursday at the Kumasi Stadium in Ghana.
The Nollywood team included comic Actors, Charles Inojie, Victor Osuagwu, Toyin Aimakhu, AGN president Ibinabo Fibersima, Segun Arinze, Grace Amah and others. They were beaten 3-1 by the Ghanaian Actors in the fun-filled game.
Well, Van Vicker said he was injured during the match as he was going to score; but the injury is not serious or life-threatening. It's not clear whether Van is really in crutches or just a way of mocking his opponents (AGN). Feel free to leave him some well wishes and good luck as usual!

The mystery surrounding how the "Jumah at the DNC" event sponsored by the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs, an obscure Islamist organization, became part of the officially sanctioned DNC/Charlotte in 2012 pre-convention program has begun to unravel.
Ibrahim Jaaber, son of BIMA Executive Director Muhammad Jaaber, told Breitbart News the DNC "reached out" to the Muslim organization and invited it to hold a two-hour prayer service as one of the officially sanctioned pre-convention events beginning Friday, August 31. In addition to the "Jumah" event, BIMA hosted the DNC/Charlotte in 2012 officially sanctioned "Islamic Regal Dinner" later that night. The convention itself kicks off on Monday, September 3.
The BIMA website says the organization is "a non profit organization seeking status with the United Nations as a non governmental organization (NGO). BIMA was founded in 1992 by the late Hajj Heshaam Jaaber. The objective of BIMA is to provide social and economic development to indigenous Muslims in the United States of America." Heshaam Jaaber was Executive Director Muhammad Jaaber's father and Ibrahim Jaaber's grandfather.
Ibrahim Jaaber is a 2007 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where he was an All-Ivy League basketball player. He told Breitbart News that his role in his father's BIMA organization is to provide media management services. Two months ago he purchased the "muslimbureau.com" domain name, which BIMA uses for its website. Prior to that time, BIMA had no web presence.
When Heshaam Jaaber died in 2007, El-Hajj Mauri Saalakhan of The Peace and Justice Foundation in Silver Spring, Maryland, delivered a eulogy that included references to Jaaber's relationship with Malcolm X and praised Jaaber for his commitment to promoting Islam through "faith, family, and propaganda":
I don't think it is possible for any Muslim (or any well informed non-Muslim) who knows Sheikh Heshaam, and something about his background, to think of him without thinking of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (aka, Malcolm X). Destiny has caused Sheikh Heshaam and El-Hajj Malik to be inextricably linked.
While those in the know are well aware that Sheikh Heshaam performed the janaza (last rites) for El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, what isn't widely known is that he, along with Sheikh Ahmed Hassoun (of Sudan), served as spiritual advisors for our beloved martyr in that very pivotal final year of his life.
Finally, we also know that Sheikh Heshaam exemplified a deep understanding of the importance of three of the most critical challenges confronting Muslims in this present day and age: Faith, Family and Propaganda.
The radical Islamist nature of the BIMA organization is highlighted by the topics to be addressed at the "Jumah at the DNC" event–Islamophobia and opposition to Anti-Sharia laws–as well as the featured speakers who will address the crowd in attendance:
— Jibril Hough, who claims Muslims lived in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492. Hough is listed as a "spokesman" for BIMA, and his views are reflected in the "indigenous Muslims" claim included in the group's title.
—Retired Army Muslim Chaplain, Captain James Yee, who was charged with sedition, but not prosecuted since to do so would have revealed national security secrets.
— Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
The Charlotte in 2012 Convention Host Committee, working with the Democratic National Convention Committee, approved and officially sanctioned the "Jumah at the DNC" and "Islamic Regal Dinner" events sponsored by BIMA. The organization is described on its website as "a non-profit, non-partisan organization established by the city of Charlotte to fulfill obligations of the master contract with the Democratic National Convention Committee." It is run by three Democratic Party stalwarts and a politically ambitious CEO based in Charlotte. North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue and North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan serve as honorary co-chairs, and Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx and Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers serve as co-chairs. Rogers has contributed to Senate candidates of both parties but most recently donated $30,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 2010, according to Federal Election Commission records.
At least one prominent Muslim, M. Zuhdi Jasser, founder of The American Islamic Forum for Democracy, whose "mission is to advocate for the preservation of the founding principles of the United States Constitution, liberty and freedom, through the separation of mosque and state," has criticized the DNC for sanctioning the radical Islamists who will be featured speakers at "Jumah at the DNC":
It is troubling that the Democratic National Convention has decided to promote and lend its name and national political platform to the organizers of the "Jummah at the DNC". The leaders of this event – Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj as advertised are no moderates. They are radicals. These individuals embrace Islamist supremacy and have demonstrated support for radical ideologies. . .
Their jummah (group) prayer is supposedly against the Patriot Act, the NYPD, and Islamophobia and is actually NOT about our democracy but about empowering their Islamist and MB sympathetic groups into the very fabric of the political system so that Americans become anesthetized. We need American Muslims to speak up and marginalize these radicals. The DNC needs to understand and reject them because of their radical history and ideas.
They use our American Muslim identity to speak as "one community" as a political unit or as a "bloc vote" – a political Islamist party when in fact most us Muslims don't want that political unity and seek reform against their ideology that seeks to hijack our community. They do not represent us.
Jasser has not been the only critic of the DNC/Charlotte in 2012 embrace of this radical Islamist group. Native Americans, who can properly claim to be "indigenous" to the United States, are bristling that the Democratic Party has officially recognized the interpretation of "indigenous" set forward by BIMA.
As Miki Booth wrote last week:
Native Americans are very angry to learn that Muslims in the United States of America are being touted as "indigenous", a complete falsehood. The fact is, American Indians are the indigenous people of North America, as Hawai'ians are to Hawai'i and the Aborigine to Australia. Organizations like BIMA marginalize native Americans in favor of Muslims, and Indians are not pleased. Speaking with many tribal friends and associates here in northeast Oklahoma, it is clear that the support Obama received from native American Democrats in 2008 is waning.
The Democrats' embrace of BIMA's incorrect use of the term "indigenous" to describe American-born Muslims is expected to further diminish the party's standing among Native Americans. The Democratic Party is already on the defensive with Native Americans because its Massachusetts Senate nominee, Elizabeth Warren, has come under heavy criticism for falsely claiming to have Native American ancestry.
It remains unclear if BIMA is an actual organization or a recently established "shell corporation" set up by Islamists to take advantage of the Democratic Party's ideological desire for diversity. Indeed, other than spokesman Hough, the entirety of the BIMA organization seems to be limited to Executive Director Muhammad Jaaber and his two sons.
One son, Yusuf, is listed as the organization's press contact. Ibrahim, the second son who owns the organization's domain name and describes his role in the organization as a person responsible for media management, is involved with BIMA on a part-time basis. Since his graduation from Penn, he has played basketball professionally in Bulgaria and Italy. He has had several NBA tryouts, including one with the Houston Rockets in 2011, and told Breitbart News he is hoping for a tryout this coming season with either the Indiana Pacers or the San Antonio Spurs. Some time after 2007, he became a citizen of Bulgaria, which allows him to play basketball on the Bulgarian national team. He was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and maintains his American citizenship as well.
Calls placed by Breitbart News to Yusuf Jaaber at BIMA and Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx at DNC/Charlotte in 2012 for comment have not been returned.

6:00 pm
>> production assistance for "inside washington" was provided by allbritton communications and "politico," reporting on the legislative, executive, and political arena. >> the strategy will be executed this week. >> this week on "inside washington," what is the game plan for libya? >> nato allies have now decided to enforce the no-fly zone over libya. >> president obama catching flak from both sides of the aisle. >> the president exceeded his authority. >> the president is going to inject as into a civil war that will cost us billions of dollars. >> first anniversary of the health-care law. >> a year later, it looks
6:01 pm
worse than it did then and that is saying something. >> i may be 5'2" and wearing a yellow suit but i am one tough lady. >> we the people will take back our government. >> and what is going on at reagan national airport? >> the tower is apparently unmanned. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> they are not exactly pen pals, but house speaker john boehner wrote a letter to president obama. he has questions, he said, about the american role in libya, our strategy there, the cost, the operation, gaddafi, whether he stays or goes. all these concerns point to a fundamental question -- what is our benchmark for success in
6:02 pm
libya? how'd you think the president would answer that, evan? >> i wish he would tell us. i often wonder if obama knows. maybe he doesn't have an answer. basically, our policy is to get rid of gaddafi, because if we don't, he is going to attack the united states. this is a scary, a crazy guy. i worry about domestic terrorism if we don't get rid of them. obama has never expressed that. sort of. who knows? >> any idea, nina? >> i guess i am not any clearer than evan is. this seems to me like the first president bush's first war in iraq. we were not sure exactly what our goal -- our stated goal was to shove them back -- >> get him out of kuwait.
6:03 pm
>> there were lots of questions about whether we should of gotten rid of saddam hussein 100 that is where we are today. can we live with a divided and libya with a no-fly zone? >> colby? >> i'm not having as much difficulty understanding this, whether you agree with it or not. the objective is to stop gaddafi from killing his own people. air superiority, aircraft back on the ground, protecting the civilian population. i think they have achieved that limited objective. the question is where do we go from here, but i don't see any confusion on the limited objective. >> benchmark of success, >> the international community's policy, meaning the u.n. authorization, is to protect the population. that is the minimalist position. the u.s. as a separate -- i
6:04 pm
don't know if they used the word "objective," but it is clear that he has to go. our national interest is that he go, because as evan said, if he doesn't, we will have problems at home, we will have lost. the problem is that obama has hitched himself to the un, this multilateralism, so that we are constrained to go for what the u.n. and the international community wants, which is much, much less than what the u.s. wants and needs. >> what if gaddafi doesn't go? peggy noonan, writing in "the wall street journal" this week, "what are we for? two of the fort was a glow wjla.co -- who are we 4?" >> lets it get back to the objective of getting rid of gaddafi. setting out to kill him or
6:05 pm
defeat them -- you could say we have an axis of evil in the countries. you didn't go-- to war against korea because of the axis of evil. or when reagan talks about the evil empire, clearly an enemy. we did not go to war -- >> but this is different. if you go to kill the king, you have to kill the king. if you leave them in place, what you have? you have a partition the east and west libya, an ongoing, eternal civil war where we have to stay in the air. in iraq, we were in the air for 12 years. >> we have been at this thing for a few days. what they are doing is degrading, as i follow it, his military. >> we could easily get a stalemate.
6:06 pm
gaddafi controls as capital -- >> continue to degrade his capabilities. what happens is some of his own people start to -- >> that should be our objective. i heard you kill him directly or you encourage -- either you kill them directly or you encourage -- >> it doesn't happen overnight. b, i am not quite so anxious to have open a third front in the war. i think we did see in iraq that it was very difficult with saddam hussein still there. kurdistan is the most prosperous part -- >> if you want 12 years of no flies on -- >> i would rather have 12 years of a no-fly zone than 12 years of war -- >> i will ask it again. how long? what are the goals? what is the cost? do we have an exit strategy?
6:07 pm
>> no, no, no, and now. gaddafi is a dangerous guy. i fear that if we box him in, he will find a way to hurt us in the united states, domestic terrorism. >> pan am 103. >> he has a track record. >> is that enough to nail the guy right there? >> there are good questions to ask and iraq. boehner asked good questions. remember we had the lovely little or in print that? inwalovely little war grenada? >> that came on the heels of the explosion of the marine barracks in beirut. >> that was a harmless, pretend a little show war. you show your strength every once in awhile, but there was no
6:08 pm
cost. but you don't do the big ones unless you are serious. >> that is the real issue, is obama is serious? look, i had all kinds of questions about getting into this and the first place, as did obama, as did secretary gates. obama, in the end, made a decision, we are going in, but now his objective is that america ought to leave and have the war on going. he wants to give up -- it is process over bad policy. you just heard him say in that at the exit strategy is executed this week. >> what is the exit strategy? >> the u.s. has special capability that will still be at us and that war. >> there are two parts to this, the easy part, the no-fly zone, and the other part, continuing to protect the civilian population, which apparently we
6:09 pm
have. >> gaddafi tries to test the no- fly zone. one fighter shot down by a french fighter, that is the end of that. >> well, the reason that we do is that after six days of negotiation, in which the u.s., through the secretary of state, desperately tried to get nato and others to take over, she did not succeed. that is why she at that awkward a statement tuesday night, saying "we are negotiating, drawing up our plans tornado to take over." the thing is, if we give that up, which obama is desperate to do, that is what he means by it exit strategy, and then, airstrikes -- who do you attack? is it only a tank in place -- tank in battle? all those issues have to be decided by nato, 28 cutters in consensus, meaning that every state in nato has a veto,
6:10 pm
meaning that turkey has a veto. turkey is not anxious to do anything in the war. the negotiations we had all week collapsed on thursday when turkey said it opposed any attempt to shift all of the real fighting on. >> the secretary-general says we're going -- >> on friday, turkey said that the support a -- they support the nato operation now. these things take time. >> congressman dennis kucinich, a liberal democrat, says the president has exceeded his constitutional authority. he did send a letter to congress on monday as saying what he was going to do. has he exceeded his constitutional authority? >> look, we all know that in the modern road, you cannot get the quick congressional vote you might have had a 100 years ago. you just have to act too quickly. i think it's pretty clear that obama did not talk to the leaders of congress himself in a
6:11 pm
sedition way. that is the best you can hope for, and he did not do it. >> senator richard lugar, highly respected on the foreign relations committee, said that the obama administration did not consult meaningfully with congress before starting military -- >> he is right. >> congress has had a pathetic and track record on this over the years. charles wrote a column and said this is "war run by an ivy league professor." it has the feeling of that, because my guess is that when we go through vulnerable, samantha power, a former kennedy school professor who is an impressive, powerful, charismatic woman, went to obama and said, "you have got to rescue these people," and he was convinced by it. susan rice, the charismatic, impressive u.n. ambassador, said the same thing, and hillary did -- >> that is the other rap, that the women -- >> let's not go there.
6:12 pm
the women outmuscled the generals on this thing -- i don't believe that. >> the gender is irrelevant, but it was power and hillary and susan rice -- >> and john mccain and senator kerry, who also said -- >> mccain did not sway obama, i can assure you of that. >> i think hearing it from that side probably had an impact on his thinking. >> i have a serious thing to say here. >> all, i'm sorry. >> i do think the specter of rwanda and people who lived through it did hang over this decision. the prospect of hundreds of thousands of people being killed, blood literally running
6:13 pm
in the streets, was something that -- nobody wanted to stand by the way bill clinton's administration stood by and came to regret it. >> the health-care law passed a year ago this week. a progress report. >> after a century of striving, a year of debate, a historic vote, health care reform is no longer and on that promise. it is the law of the land. >> that was the president obama on march 23 after the law passed. states had sued the obama administration to block implementation of the law. they argue that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. neeina, when will this go to the supreme court? >> in the late fall at the earliest, and be decided in 2012. >> which way?
6:14 pm
>> i'm not 100% sure. i do know this -- the one group of people that is accepted that is going to happen, and i am the only person here who lives with this every day by marriage, our doctors and hospitals. they are preparing. they are preparing to change the whole system every dramatically. some of them are scared, some of them are looking forward to it, but they are preparing. >> you asked which way it goes on the supreme court. it depends which side of the bed kennedy gets up on that morning trade since he is king of the united states, he answers that question. >> also the political question. the law of unintended consequences kids in here, because you have a republican house and more republican senators in the senate, you have republicans preaching repeal. a recent poll by the kaiser family foundation -- only 40% of
6:15 pm
the american people want to see a repeal. >> there is a canary in the mine shaft, and it is called massachusetts. massachusetts did this mandated, extended care about three years before, and they are living with that now. it didn't save money, it cost a ton of money. health-care systems are wrestling with what to do about that. where we are going is that everybody will end up in an hmo in boston. it will be the kind of managed care. eventually, i guess, we will get there. but if you want to see what is going to happen, what massachusetts, because they cannot afford it and they are tied in knots. >> mitt romney -- >> it is going to be a big issue. >> it was going to -- it was hard to see how this was going to end opup. but you already have people
6:16 pm
covered -- for example, students covered by their parents health insurance for the first time up until, i guess, age 26. you have people with pre- existing conditions no longer able to be kicked off -- >> and massachusetts did not have the same kind of a tense, anyway, at cost savings. we will see how that works, but they did not have the structural things in a single state. >> if nina is right about the time to go to the supreme court, it will be in the middle of a presidential campaign. >> you got it. >> prohibiting insurance companies from telling somebody down -- can you run a campaign on that? >> there are pluses and minuses. the american people are adults and they would understand that is a cost. they also understand that for pre-existing conditions eight insurance companies have to get more from elsewhere. otherwise, they will go
6:17 pm
bankrupt. if you create new entitlement -- hold on, nina -- 30 million additional americans, it is going to cost you. there is no free lunch not go all the protestations of the government that these are savings is a farce. ordinary folks understand that, which is why he had such absolutely strong, on waivers opposition -- on wavering opposition for a year after it -- and half. >> every single poll as americans strongly, large majorities, a favorite all the goodies in this -- >> who would oppose a goodie? if somebody offers you ice-cream -- >> there is no free lunch -- >> they make the case for the cost, and you have to weigh the benefits and costs, the public opinion result is people oppose it generally. >> i like the reference to ordinary people understanding
6:18 pm
this. >> it is intuitive. >> and those of us who don't know -- >> you don't have to go into details an actuarial -- you are going to given entitlement to 30 million people -- >> if the date end up in the emergency room and get charitable care, it might be. >> in washington, d.c., there is no free lunch for anything. we continue the search for the 2012 republican presidential candidate. >> we will restore america proj. >> i want to be part of the composition of making sure president obama only serves one term. >> that is minnesota congresswoman michelle bachmann with jonathan karl of abc. she was in iowa this week following last week's visit to new hampshire. jonathan martin of "politico"
6:19 pm
writes that she rose millions in her last campaign. she was born in iowa, conservative, and 60% of o iowa caucus goers identify themselves as evangelical. what about malecki? -- tim pawlenty? >> confident it, two-term governor. he's not somebody republicans are on fire about, but he carries the least amount of baggage among the major candidates trade with romney, we have health care in massachusetts. gingrich, a lot of stuff in his past. with other candidates, you have difficulties. palin as high negatives. he is relatively anodyne, at no negatives that i can see pretty . >> jonathan margin is writing
6:20 pm
that mitt romney is going to do a slow slog here, raising money, and it will drop off one by one. >> romney has got romneycare. i don't know what he does about that. >> does anybody make your heart beat faster? [laughter] >> they cannot come up with an answer. >> this is not a year where there is fantastic enthusiasm for anyone. that is why you might have republicans reaching into the next generation, who might be running in 2016, like christie. none of these guys make my heart beat faster -- >> there are good republicans that nobody has heard of. mitch daniels of indiana is a brilliant governor who directly wants to deal with our fiscal problems. jon huntsman, nobody has heard of him, but apparently he is a great guy --
6:21 pm
>> ambassador to china. >> even haley barbour, he has been a lobbyist and all that, but he has been in the sausage factory and knows how to make deals. >> four years ago we were talking about mccain and mike huckabee, and all of a sudden rudy giuliani jump out there. you look at his numbers in iowa, and%, new hampshire, 10%, and he said, "i will wait until florida." he was never heard from again until the national convention. >> it is important for people like michelle bachmann to get in early. she's a very attractive that figure now she's a celebrity in the republican party. she generates a lot of enthusiasm. she does not have the baggage that sarah palin has -- >> she will. >> the battle of their it revolutionary war in concord, new hampshire? >> she does not have the high
6:22 pm
negatives. at she has problems, but not a high negatives that palin has. >> there are the ones where she asserted big -- >> bachmann at huckabee had the most intense followings among republicans. >> huckabee is having a good time, a successful show on fox, building a house in florida. he does not need this. he would be nuts to do it. mitch daniels is a strong candidate. i don't think he is going to run. i think he will be left with people -- i did you will be left with people with baggage. barbour has the baggage. it will be the least offensive other candidates who gets through. >> three wars in the middle
6:23 pm
east. the numbers are bad now the american people like this. the health care thing, rebel against taking over the house, and yet the president does not seem to be -- republicans taking over the past, and yet the president does not seem to be hurt by this? >> his favorables are good, especially matched against others. >> mid-to-high-forties. >> in the last -- >> the republican party does not want to flirt with realistic candidates who could beat him. that is the problem with the republican party right now. when a candidate like michelle bachmann is a realistic possibility, it is trouble for the party. >> on like al sharpton. >> exactly like al sharpton!
6:24 pm
>> in the last 70 years, only twice has an incumbent president lost a reelection bid is hard to do. >> suppose you're trying to fly it and national airport and you call the tower, and the answers? it happened. -- nobody answers? it happened. >> that is interesting. >> yeah, that is interesting. to airliner's after minute tried to contact the tower at reagan national airport. what is going on here, evan? >> i love how cool the pilots are. "well, there is nobody there." we've been a little rough on public employees, but ones i hope to better our air traffic controllers. >> the guy was asleep. >> i don't know where he was,
6:25 pm
but he did not hear the phone, for example, this says something about cuts and public services. an entire generation of air traffic controllers reach retirement age, so we're getting new ones. it is very expensive to train them, and we're not up to snuff on that. we had only one guide their. if he had been working too many hours, he might have fallen off to sleep. he should not have -- >> put somebody else there -- >> they ought to have it to people there. >> nina's solution is to spend more money. he wanted no my solution? >> fire him. >> red bull intravenously. [laughter] >> budget cuts or not, if you are on duty, you stay awake. you do not, you get fired. let's not complicate this thing at. maybe have two people, but both
6:26 pm
people could fall asleep as well. we can have two pilots of fall asleep in the plane. >> after 9/11, there were thoughts about closing that permanently. never using it again. >> you would never do that. to close the capitol hill -- to close to capitol hill. >> exactly. >> and i want to use it. >> last word. see you next week. for a transcript of this broadcast, log on to insidewashington.tv. hi, i'm rick steves, with more of the best of europe.
