Wine Enthusiast Silent 24-Bottle Dual Zone Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator
Good until it broke
The product looks good and does what it is supposed to do and I was very satisfied with it until it broke - just a month after the 12mo warranty the top zone just quit working. I've contacted the customer service arguing that this kind of product is supposed to last for years and that the warranty has just expired - no help. I've contacted the customer service managers and all they did was offer a ridiculous discount on a new product. The cost of repair is prohibitive so now I have a cooler that is only 50% functional and Wine Enthusiast doesn't care about it. I am so disappointed. Do yourself a favor and buy another brand.
January 15, 2013
Works and looks great
It does the job (keeps reds and whites at separate temperatures) but I found that I could only keep whites in the smaller compartment because the larger compartment didn't allow me to set the temperature low enough. Besides that, I am very happy with it.

Paul Collins, 95
Paul Everett Collins, 95, died Sunday, Sept. 30, at Brookview Manor in Brookings.
Paul Everett Collins, 95, died Sunday, Sept. 30, at Brookview Manor in Brookings.
Funeral services will be held 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, at Ascension Lutheran Church in Brookings. Burial is at First Lutheran Cemetery in Brookings. Visitations will be from 5-8 p.m. Wednesday at Eidsness Funeral Home in Brookings. Memorials may be directed to Ascension Lutheran Church or to the Collins Scholarship in HFLP administered by the SDSU Foundation.
Paul was born on Feb. 22, 1917, on a farm near White Rock, Minn., to Eric and Mary (Wiberg) Collins. He attended Goodhue County rural school through the 8th grade and graduated from Cannon Falls High School in 1934. He was captain of the football team and senior class president in 1933-1934. He received American Legion medals for leadership and scholastic achievement. He enrolled in Gustavus Adolphus College in 1935 and graduated magna cum laude in 1939 with educational degrees in history, social science, and chemistry. He taught high school at Bigfork, Minn., in 1940.
Paul enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1941 and graduated from photo school. He was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in December 1941. He served at Salt Lake City Air Force Base, Geiger Field (Spokane), Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (Tucson), Alamogordo (NM) Air Field, Ephrata (WA) Army Air Base, and Great Falls Air Force Base. He was deployed to North Africa with the 2nd Bomb Group in April 1943 as group photo officer. He later served in Foggia, Italy, until the end of the war. For meritorious service, he was awarded the Air and Bronze Star Medals. He returned to the States in September 1945 and separated from the Air Corps in January 1946. He stayed in the Air Force Reserve until 1972, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel.
In 1946, Paul returned to college at the University of Minnesota and studied forestry, earning a B.S. Degree in 1948, M.S. in 1949, and Ph.D. in 1967. He worked at Kansas State University as an extension forester from 1949-1951. He moved to Brookings in 1951 and joined the faculty of the horticulture, forestry, landscape, and parks Department at South Dakota State University. He taught and conducted research in forestry until retiring in 1983 with Emeritus status. While at SDSU, he received such honors as the John Robertson Memorial Award in Horticulture, Friend of Trees Award, and Award of Merit from the Great Plains Forestry Committee.
Paul married Mildred (Mickey) Johnson on Sept. 4, 1948. They had two children, Patricia and Michael. They were married for 48 years until Mickey's death in 1997.
Paul was a charter member of Ascension Lutheran Church and served as its first president from 1962-1966. He later served as church secretary and on many church boards. He enjoyed singing and was a choir member at Vasa Lutheran Church in Vasa, Minn.; First Lutheran Church in Brookings; and Ascension Lutheran Church until age 90. He was also a soloist and sang in a men's quartet at the church.
Paul was a pivotal member of the Brookings Lions Club for 55 years, serving as its president in 1965-1966, leading the club in singing until age 93, and participating in many service activities. He was also a member of Sigma Xi scientific research society and Gamma Sigma Delta (honor society of agriculture). In addition, he remained active as a volunteer driver for the Brookings Volunteer Service Bank and Meals on Wheels, logging more than 500 service hours over 25 years.
Paul was an avid early-morning long-distance walker. He enjoyed photography, gardening, and crossword puzzles. Until late in life, he took pride in maintaining an impeccable lawn. He loved history. His children struggled to keep him in stock with fresh history books. He and Mickey liked to travel, especially to Civil War sites, and in the process managed to visit every state except Hawaii.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Mickey; and two sisters, Mildred and Ethel Collins.
He is survived by his children, Patricia Collins (Dan Cherryhomes) of Minneapolis and Michael (Isabel) Collins of Elm Grove, Wis.

Data were collected using the weigh-suckle¿weigh technique and related to genetic evaluations for maternal weaning weight from the national evaluation of Hereford cattle. A one-pound increase in the milk EPD was associated with a 24-pound increase in milk production per lactation. Breeders are advised maximum milk production may not be optimal. Too little milk may compromise growth of the calf. Too much milk may unnecessarily increase feed costs or compromise reductive efficiency of the cowherd.

Sometimes, we're busy. We're busy thinking about geo-political trends, the next 10-mile run, or the latest cricket match. We're too busy to be the smiling decoration that we, as women, are expected to be. Our faces can be thoughtful, angry, sad, peaceful, meditative, or bored. So stop, Caribbean men. Stop walking up to us, harassing us, and demanding that we smile. We do not have to smile for you. Our smiles are our own.

Anonymous asked: Hey simone interesting post and no I'm not a Woman but a Man. I agree with what your saying, since believe me or not have self-control. Anyway since we both are qualified in Sociology at the tertiary level let me ask this question. There is as you know a psychosocial relationship between the sexes. So is it that if a woman wears a short skirt she herself thinks its sexy or is that men like to see more skin and they think its sexy? in other words is a woman's thoughts on what is sexy based on men
You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.
― Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
Dear Anonymous,
I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean by "psychosocial relationship" but I do know that the relationship between men and women is influenced by many factors: physical/hormonal; cultural; social.
So, it may be perfectly natural to want to be sexually attractive to the opposite sex, but perhaps the way one determines what that looks like, depends on our cultural definitions of what is 'sexy', as well as social 'gender scripts' about how women should behave towards men, and men towards women.
Certainly, we know that all modern societies are still greatly driven by the 'male perspective'. So that the way both women and men come to view the world is based on a male-centred value system. Therein is the conundrum faced in the above quote by Margaret Atwood.
Were you alive when baby-doll dresses were all the rage? I loved me some baby-doll dresses. My boyfriend hated them. Loose and shapeless; not what he thought of as sexy. So maaaaaybe when I was going out with him, I miiiiiight have maybe put on something else. Or not.
What am I trying to say? Well, just that it's all mixed up and although we are all influenced by these various cultural, social and biological factors, each individual may be more, or less influenced by one factor over the others. In turn this will therefore differently determine the way we relate to men or women, or the choices we make about how we want to present ourselves - in dress, in attitude, in demeanor.
What is important to remember in the context of gender equity and justice is that regardless of a woman's choice of dress, and for whatever reasons she has made that choice, it does not give others the right to infringe upon her human rights to safety, freedom of movement and freedom from harassment - verbal or physical.
"Pssst. I own you."
As we approach the end of the Anti-Street Harassment Week, I'd like to talk a little about why Street Harassment is not just a sexual harassment issue, but the practice and reinforcement of male dominance.
A few weeks ago I went to the post office a block away from where I work. As I was walking back to my office, I passed by a car park with a wire fence. From inside the car park I heard a male voice say "Sweet Face." I kept walking and he continued "Sweet Face, Sweet Face."
I decided that I just couldn't let this one pass. Not today. I wouldn't let my psychological and physical space be corrupted by this man's intrusion. I turned to look at him as I kept walking.
"Don't call me that"
"What I should call you, then"
"I don't want you calling me at all"
He had been following me all along the inside perimeter of the car park till I turned the corner. He raised his voice.
"Tell me your name. If you don't tell me your name I am going to call out to you every single day you pass here."
It was a threat.
Second International Anti-Street Harassment Day
March 18th, 2012 marks the second year that International Anti-Street Harassment Day is taking place in countries all over the world. Last year the WomenSpeak Project joined founder of the event Holly Kearl of Stop Street Harassment in promoting the event and encouraging Caribbean Women To tell their own stories and post their own Anti-Street Harassment Manifestos. We also had an original art submission by Tracey Chan who this year has partnered with Stephanie Leitch to share artwork as part of a Street Harassment Art Exhibit held in Washington, DC jointly curated by Holly Kearl and the Deaf Abused Women's Network.
This year the Meet Us on the Street Campaign runs for an entire week from March 18-24 and various organisations and individuals are taking part in activities that will highlight the issue of Street Harassment and how it negatively impacts women's freedom of movement and inflicts fear, intimidation and violence on a daily basis on a whole half of the world's population.
I encourage Caribbean women to share your own stories with us, or to submit any artwork, poetry or short video telling us how Street Harassment has impacted you personally.
Artwork collaboration by Tracey Chan and Stephanie Leitch
I felt like the perpetrator.
I decided to switch up my exercise routine and take a walk early one Saturday morning. I wore leggings (long tights), with a long tank top coming down to the tops of my thighs.
At one house on the corner, a group of young men were sitting outside with a female relative. One said, "Good Morning." I looked at him and repeated, "Good Morning".
As soon as I turned the corner, I heard behind me, "I like dem legs." I reacted. I flipped him off.
The woman commented that if she was out for a walk, she would not go around showing people the 'middle finger'.
I realised that the street I had turned down was lonely. There were no people around since the day was early. I could hear the men and woman still talking about me.
I felt scared. If one of them decided he was insulted enough…
I walked faster, thinking about the consequences of my actions. I felt like the perpetrator.
Then I remembered, at age fifteen, walking home from my exercise class in the evening, wearing T-shirts and long pants, and having men call me 'sexy', 'darling', 'beautiful'. But never to my face…always just as I walked past. I remembered feeling uncomfortable, always on the lookout for someone who might decide to use more than words.
I avoid that house now. I no longer feel like walking. I haven't worn my favorite pair of leggings (long tights) since.
Caribbean Woman
Deputy Prime Minister of SVG tells women - Dress properly. Don't tempt men
Deputy PM and Education Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines makes incredibly outrageous and dangerous statements which essentially blame women and the way they dress for the violence perpetrated against them by men. This is the reason why violence against women is so rampant throughout the Caribbean: because we have a culture which tacitly excuses and tries to explain away the murders, rapes and beatings as something that women contribute to by the things they do, the clothes they wear, the places they go. As long as people feel they are justified and have 'cause' to 'put women in their place' this violence will continue.
"I want to ask our young women, in particular to dress themselves properly. I know that sometimes, their mode of dress is not good at all and it is important that they dress themselves and do not give temptation to our men."—
SVG: Deputy PM tells women to dress properly and not tempt men. She says that women's breasts are intended to feed children and comfort their husbands. This hetero/sexist drivel was offered in response to the high level of violence against women and girls and femicides in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. What do you think of the Deputy PM's remarks?

"Whistling is for DOGS! Say good afternoon!"
This is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. It is something limits my life. I developed somewhat of a phobia of walking the streets of Port of Spain after moving here because of this. The leering looks, men staring directly at my breasts and private parts, men making comments to me or about me. I rarely ever walk the streets anymore. I don't even like walking around the Savannah. The men in the cars hiss and whistle. I cannot stand it.
I remember being on Frederick Street one day, the busiest street in Port of Spain. I was having a conversation with someone on the pavement and a construction worker high up on a building was incessant, whistling to get my attention. At first I ignored him but eventually I lost my temper. "Why you whistling at me so!" I shouted up at him. "Whistling is for DOGS! Say good afternoon!" The entire block burst into laughter and the man was visibly chagrined. He smiled lamely, apologized, and told me good afternoon, to which I responded politely.
Interview with Debra Providence
WomenSpeak talks to Debra Providence about her poem While Walking Up Back Street
WS: It feels like this poem is based on a real incident that happened to you? What made you decide to write about it?
DP : Yes it is based on a real incident, of course, without the blood and mucas. I decided to write about it because in the moment I felt reduced to a piece of my anatomy. I felt that the comments in essence placed more value on the breasts than the person and writing the poem was my way of confronting being objectified in that way.
WS: Your poem is quite graphic, even violent. Do you feel that sexual harassment in public spaces is a kind of violence against women?
DP: The incident triggered a strong emotional response and I wanted to write in a way that captured my state of mind. On a level I do feel that sexual harrassment, street or office, is a kind of violence. It strips away your wholeness as a person, your layers and complexities and reduces you to a thing. It is something women experience every day, but that doesn't make it any less disconcerting when it happens, for me at least.
Added to this is the fact that I have a keen interest in the Science Fiction and Speculative (SF) ficiton genres which often depticts the human body as being capable of trancsending pre-given limitations.I love the "What if?" aspect of SF. I thought, what if the persona could give the copper exactly what he asked,

In the States Roundup for May 22
Here's a look at some of the key battles in the states over the past week.
Here's a look at some of the key battles in the states over the past week.
Minnesota is part of a growing group of states and localities that aren't sitting around and waiting for the federal government to take the lead on pushing to increase the minimum wage and move it closer to a living wage. Recently, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) introduced the Fair Minimum Wage Act, which hasn't gone anywhere in Congress. But that isn't stopping states like Minnesota, which are stepping up and getting the job done when it comes to raising the minimum wage.
Here's a look at some of the key battles in the states over the past week.
This is a cross-post, by Doug Foote, from Working America's Main Street blog.
This week, Minnesota state Rep. Jason Metsa (D) is taking the Working America Minimum Wage Challenge—living on the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. He'll report his experience back to the Minnesota legislature, where they are considering a bill to raise the minimum wage to $9.95.
On Wednesday, Metsa's challenge was to find a place to live. Why a challenge? His budget that he set out on Monday allowed for only $359 a month for housing.
This is a cross-post, by Aruna Jain, from Working America's blog Main Street.
As legislation to raise the minimum wage to $9.95 makes its way through the Minnesota Legislature, Rep. Jason Metsa (D) is taking up Working America's challenge to live on Minnesota's current minimum wage for five days.
Here's a look at some of the key battles in the states over the past week.
When a company locks out skilled employees and replaces its entire workforce with inexperienced new hires, here's what happens: productivity plunges and profits tank.
Losing money is not a wise corporate strategy. Yet, unless American Crystal Sugar Co. agrees to return to contract negotiations with the 1,300 workers the company locked out a year ago, the company is on course to repeat its sorry fiscal 2012 performance. After the company replaced all its seasoned employees, production costs increased by 23 percent and payments to its shareholders lagged behind the rest of the industry, which saw their shareholder payments increase. That followed a year in which Crystal Sugar was hugely profitable, with $1.5 billion in net earnings.
(Sign a petition calling on American Crystal Sugar CEO Dave Berg to treat workers fairly and return to the bargaining table.)
It's been nearly a year since the 1,300 American Crystal Sugar Co. workers with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM) have gone to work. The workers are locked out of five American Crystal Sugar processing facilities and other facilities.
While anti-worker bills in state capitols across the country still threaten middle-class families, Republican state legislatures are beginning to second guess whether to continue pursuing their extreme agenda attacking working families.
Yesterday morning, the Republican-controlled New Hampshire Senate tabled HB 1677, the so-called "right to work" bill. This bill is the pet of Speaker Bill O'Brien, dubbed by a recent Concord Monitor editorial as a "self-drawn caricature of vindictiveness and power run [amok]." "Right to work" failed last year, and so far this year it has failed to muster a veto-proof majority.

To the Editor.— There is much ado about coronary care units. No one would dispute their life-saving potential. But, the wide publicity accorded these establishments tends to obscure other less dramatic developments in the realm of public-health-care-and-comfort-delivery, such as the urinary care units (UCU), which have been in operation in our town for well over a year. We have set up these units at strategic corners of our business district and in a few suburban shopping centers. Not to be confused with the Parisian kiosk or the traditional Calcutta "catheter clinic," nor with "rest" rooms wherein neither the elderly victim of prostatism nor the young sufferer from stricture finds rest, the urinary care unit provides comfort, first aid, and psychotherapy. The units are well equipped with catheters, sounds, and dilators, and are staffed with competent nurses well trained in providing immediate relief, comfort, and psychiatric reassurance.A modest fee of

WETHERSFIELD -- Wethersfield High coach John Campanello was to the point.
"If we were going to have a chance tonight, we had to be perfect," he said after Middletown crushed his Eagles 41-7 at Joseph Cottone Field Friday night. "The kids were ready to play, but we made mistakes and you can't go against Middletown and make mistakes."
Wethersfield made some mistakes, turning the ball over three times, two of which led to touchdowns. But Middletown scored early and often before the mistakes kicked in.
The Blue Dragons (4-0) scored midway through the first quarter when Isaiah Thompkins ran 33 yards for a touchdown. MHS made it 13-0 when it zipped 68 yards in five plays just before the quarter ended. It was Thompkins again, this time from three yards out with 1:08 left. That score was set up by a 42-yard pass from Dario Highsmith (7-for-13, 161 yards) to Ja'kur West.
Middletown made it 20-0 on the second play of the second quarter when West returned a punt 77 yards for a touchdown.
"Middletown is a big play team that is very well-coached," said Campanello. "We tried to prepare for that, but they do a good job of seeing things and exploiting them."
Two plays after the West return, Wethersfield fumbled the ball to the Dragons. It was awarded to MHS after the officials conferred, and that decision brought Campanello running to midfield, a move that earned him a 15-yard unsportsmanlike call.
Given the ball at the Westhersfield 28, it took MHS just five plays to score, with Thompkins carrying the final three times and scoring on a five-yard run.
A fumbled punt gave the Dragons the ball late in the half at the 50-yard line, and after a holding call against Middletown and a two-yard loss, Highsmith threw a 65-yard TD bomb to O'Brian Sinclair and with 2:50 left in the half MHS was long gone at 34-0.
"We played all right," said MHS coach Sal Morello. "We were sloppy at times. We still had some penalties that put us in first-and-15 a couple of times and we had some turnovers [Highsmith had three passes picked off]. We've had four games, but there's still two months of football left. We have plenty to work on." Continued...
After a scoreless third quarter, Middletown added a touchdown on a 26-yard run by Shaiquan Turner, who was the game's leading rusher with 137 yards on 27 carries. Van Uk made five of six extra point kicks.
"Turner runs very hard; he's a hard worker," said Morello. "I also thought Thompkins did a great job. He ran hard, too."
Thompkins had three touchdowns and ran for 60 yards on just seven carries.
Wethersfield became the first team to score on Middletown this season when, with 49 seconds left to play, Zack DeCaro (19-for-41, 172 yards) hit Kevin Premto from 19 yards out.
"I'm actually glad to get that unscored upon stuff out of the way," said Morello. "Our defense was solid; they're playing good ball."
Middletown held Wethersfield (2-2) to 59 yards rushing on 25 carries. Unable to move the ball on the ground, and falling behind early, the Eagles threw the ball all night and wound up running 66 plays from scrimmage to Middetown's 40.
Middletown finished with 346 yards offense, 185 on the ground and 161 in the air.
Middletown hosts Hall of West Hartford Friday at Rosek-Skubel Stadium.

O Dark 30Full Episode #179We think it's unfair that you should only get to listen to O'Dark 30 once a week, so we're doing what we can to change that. But since we're far too lazy to actually produce more than one of these things a week, we're using the magic of technology to allow you to listen to the same show twice. Or thrice, even. Heck, you can play this thing all day every day if you want (though we wouldn't recommend it).
Episode 179 brings you such wondrous audio tidbits as The Symphony of Sirens, Revisited, Decode DC, 99% Invisible, WTF featuring Amy Poehler and, as usual, more.... |

A lot of your time is wasted filling out forms and waiting for replies from multiple vacation rental owners.
Many busy owners never reply.
The price shown always changes, you have to calculate it yourself and often changes once you communicate with the owner.

New to Type 2?
Enroll in the Living With Type 2 Diabetes program and let us guide you through your first year with type 2 diabetes.
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome (HHNS)
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome, or HHNS, is a serious condition most frequently seen in older persons. HHNS can happen to people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but it occurs more often in people with type 2. HHNS is usually brought on by something else, such as an illness or infection.
In HHNS, blood sugar levels rise, and your body tries to get rid of the excess sugar by passing it into your urine. You make lots of urine at first, and you have to go to the bathroom more often. Later you may not have to go to the bathroom as often, and your urine becomes very dark. Also, you may be very thirsty. Even if you are not thirsty, you need to drink liquids. If you don't drink enough liquids at this point, you can get dehydrated.
If HHNS continues, the severe dehydration will lead to seizures, coma and eventually death. HHNS may take days or even weeks to develop. Know the warning signs of HHNS.
What are the warning signs?
- Blood sugar level over 600 mg/dl
- Dry, parched mouth
- Extreme thirst (although this may gradually disappear)
- Warm, dry skin that does not sweat
- High fever (over 101 degrees Fahrenheit, for example)
- Sleepiness or confusion
- Loss of vision
- Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there)
- Weakness on one side of the body
- If you have any of these symptoms, call someone on your health care team.
How can I avoid it?
The best way to avoid HHNS is to check your blood sugar regularly. Many people check their blood sugar several times a day, such as before or after meals. Talk with your health care team about when to check and what the numbers mean. You should also talk with your health care team about your target blood sugar range and when to call if your blood sugars are too high, or too low and not in your target range. When you are sick, you will check your blood sugar more often, and drink a glass of liquid (alcohol-free and caffeine-free) every hour. Work with your team to develop your own sick day plan.
Related information
Another condition to watch signs for is ketoacidosis, which means dangerously high levels of ketones, or acids, that build up in the blood. Ketones appear in the urine when your body doesn't have enough insulin, and can poison the body.

Curriculum Vitae (PDF)
I joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins in 1994 as I was completing my doctoral study at the University of California, Davis. I began my academic career by examining maternal activism among middle-class black women, a long tradition steeped in what I call "normative empathy," motivation derived from a conjunction of empathy for other black women and of African-American norms of solidarity, responsibility, and accountability. I partnered with Frank F. Furstenberg, Jr. (University of Pennsylvania) in expanding his longitudinal study of predominantly black Baltimore mothers. This research focused on potential barriers to women-centered kin support for present-day urban black teen mothers in light of kin support mandates specified in the 1996 federal welfare reforms.
I have also partnered with my colleague, Thomas A. LaVeist (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Center for Health Disparities Solutions), to examine differences in life outcome among black and white children in the inner city and to determine the extent to which urban disadvantage differentiates young adult educational outcomes by race and gender under such conditions.
In addition to serving on the Sociology faculty, I served as the Associate Dean of Multicultural Affairs from 2008-2010, and am an associate of the Hopkins Population Center and the Center for Africana Studies.
My most recent research is reported in Embracing Sisterhood: Class, Identity, and Contemporary Black Women (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007). In this book I analyze how contemporary black women's ideas of black womanhood and sisterhood merge with social class status to shape certain attachments and detachments among them. Similarities as well as variations in how black women of different social backgrounds perceive and live black womanhood are interpreted via my primary metaphor "embracing Oprah." I find that the potential for a pervasive and polarizing "black stepsisterhood" is considerably undermined by the passion with which black women cling to the promises of cross-class, gender-ethnic "community" and of group determination. Embracing Sisterhood draws its analysis from in-depth interviews with 88 contemporary black women aged 18 to 89, covering issues associated with dimensions of gender-ethnic identity and consciousness.
I am currently conducting, with Dr. Caitlin Cross-Barnet, research examining the nature of marriage among native blacks, black Africans, and black Caribbeans comparatively. Here I contemplate how contemporary young black couples (roughly in their 30s) negotiate marital relationships, navigate marital conflict, and reconcile the recent political pressure for "traditional" marriage with the strong socioeconomic status many black women hold. One of my research objectives is to better understand the nature of black marital egalitarianism, given numerous claims of egalitarianism's greater prevalence among blacks as compared to other racial and ethnic groups. I am also interested in the role religion plays in promoting or not promoting certain models of marriage.

China on the March
Magazine or Newspaper Article, National Interest, issue 88, pages 16-22
March / April 2007
Authors: Ashton B. Carter, Former Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project, Harvard & Stanford Universities, Dr. William J. Perry, Former Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Preventive Defense Project
Twenty years from now, will China be a friend or foe of the United States? Certainly, China's youngest generation will influence the answer. It controls future policies, the pace of internal development, domestic stability and whether there is a crisis over Taiwan. Yet America's response is also important; the wrong actions could turn China against us.
The United States must adopt a twopronged policy. The first is to encourage China to become a "responsible stakeholder" in the international community. The second is to hedge against competitive or aggressive behavior by China.
Americans are impatient and dislike ambiguity, so successive U.S. administrations have struggled to sustain public support for a policy that to many, at first glance, can seem self-contradictory. But there is no reason for our policy to be self-contradictory. The key is what might be termed "prudent hedging", which does not impede engagement and does not create a self-fulfilling prophecy where treating China as an enemy turns it into one.

Convicted Springfield powerbroker William Cellini's sentencing has been delayed twice, on account of his health problems. Now his attorneys are asking that Cellini receive probation.
Cellini was convicted last November of plotting to extort a campaign donation for former Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Prosecutors argue he should get up to eight years in prison. Or if it's less, they want at least what they call a "meaningful sentence of incarceration." Cellini's attorneys say that recommendation should be tossed because it's based on charges for which Cellini was found "not guilty." They're arguing he should only get probation.
Cellini's lawyers say the government's unfairly taking aim at their client for refusing to take responsibility for his actions. Cellini's spokesman and the U.S. Attorney's office both declined to comment. The prosecutors' sentencing memo says wiretaps of Cellini are indicative of his use of "his political clout to enrich himself and his allies."
Cellini, who's 77, has amassed a fortune through government contracts and dealings … from asphalt to real estate to gambling. He's next scheduled to be in court in early October.
