NSF and NIH see huge cuts restored, but anything environmental is in trouble. Today, the Trump administration released a proposed budget that called for massive cuts to science research across the federal government. But Trumps's budget was accompanied by a second document that rescinded some of the cuts, even while complaining that doing so was a bad idea. Meanwhile, drastic cuts to environmental and renewable energy programs remain in both budget versions. The confusion was caused by last week's bipartisan budget deal, which raised caps on both military and domestic spending. The Trump administration had been planning on working within the caps and raising military spending while cutting back elsewhere, including on scientific research. The budget deal, however, raised military and domestic spending, which would suddenly infuse the latter with lots of extra cash. In response, the Trump administration released an addendum in which it reset a few of the priorities in light of the budget deal. So what we have is a view into the Trump administration's actual intentions for science, along with some indication of what it will do now that Congress has forced its hands. While the Trump administration has adjusted to the additional cash allocated by Congress, it's not happy about it. Or at least happy about all of it. "The administration strongly supports the overall defense spending levels included in the bipartisan cap deal," the budget addendum reads. " However, given the current fiscal situation, the administration is not proposing a Budget at the new non-defense caps. The administration does not believe these non-defense spending levels comport with its vision for the proper role and size of the Federal Government." That vision is detailed in the original budget that was also released today, which would have been catastrophic for scientific research. The National Science Foundation would have lost more than a quarter of its funding. So would the National Institutes of Health, which is responsible for most of the biomedical research funding in the United States. Various other agencies would see similarly large cuts. Given the money by Congress, however, the Trump administration has reversed many of its planned cuts. Rather than being reduced to shells, the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health will both stay flat if Trump's budget is adopted. So, while the administration doesn't want the money, it's willing to spend the money on science if it has to. Or at least some science. A large array of programs that were targeted for cuts or complete elimination in the original budget aren't rescued in the addendum. While the cuts here are heavily biased toward climate and environmental programs, those aren't the only things targeted. Among the items targeted for elimination is the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope, or WFIRST. The plan was to build this using the optical hardware of a spy satellite that was donated by the intelligence community. Once in orbit, it would scan the entire infrared sky using a wide-field lens, allowing large catalogs of different objects, including near-Earth asteroids, to be generated. The budget document more or less says that NASA's getting the James Webb Telescope, and shouldn't expect another so soon: "developing another large space telescope immediately after completing the $8.8 billion James Webb Space Telescope is not a priority for the Administration." Don't tell them about Spitzer and Chandra. If you think it's only a joke to suggest that the Trump administration would terminate an active observatory once we've gone through the expense of putting it in orbit, well, then you haven't read the rest of the budget proposal, which attempts to follow through on earlier threats to gut NASA's Earth-observing missions. Two are not yet launched. One is a satellite called CLARREO pathfinder, which is intended to develop instruments for a follow-on satellite to produce detailed climate records. Another, PACE, would track ocean-atmosphere interactions. Two other satellites would have specific instruments shut down— one of them an Earth-observing camera championed by Al Gore that's been targeted by every Republican administration since he left the Vice Presidency (the Bush administration shelved the working hardware rather than put it in orbit). But the most striking thing is the call to shut down the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, which has only been in operation for less than four years. The ability to monitor Earths' carbon dioxide fluxes was considered so important for following climate change that NASA built a second after the first was lost in a launch accident. The Trump Administration would now shut it down. It's not only in space where environmental monitoring would be cut. For the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS), there is a clear theme to the budget request: efforts to collect data or study our home planet get funding cuts, and climate-related efforts doubly so. Both agencies are cut by about 20 percent in total. The only increases in NOAA's budget are for facilities or operating costs, with the exception of work to incorporate data from new European weather satellites. About 250 positions would be cut from the National Weather Service, with another 25 cut from the Tsunami Warning Program as one of the two US Tsunamic Warning Centers would be shut down. A NOAA summary document notes that "Support for [tsunami] preparedness education, outreach, and innovation research will cease." Funding for development of weather forecast models, hydrological models, ocean observations and ocean acidification research, climate research, and university partnerships would all be cut. Although the budget seems to reverse last year's call to scrap several future weather satellites—endangering weather forecasting as older satellites die— it cuts $565 million from two satellite programs without really explaining how that would be done. A host of NOAA programs would be slated for complete termination, including major grant programs funding coastal research (like Sea Grant), the Office of Education, Arctic research, several fisheries research programs, and the Big Earth Data Initiative (which was created to make federal data more accessible). At the USGS, earthquake, volcano, water resources, and coastal work would all take a significant hit in the neighborhood of 10 to 20 percent. Ecosystems-focused programs come in for a whopping 40 percent cut, while the Energy and Mineral Resources program would be the sole recipient of a budgetary boost (about 15 percent). The EPA would also see cuts to its research, as a program that allowed the Agency to fund research at universities would be eliminated. But it would also see its ability to do anything with the research curtailed. The EPA had a funding program to help states comply with regulations that result from the Clean Air and Water Acts; the Trump administration wants to eliminate it, taking what had been a funded federal mandate and de-funding it. Energy Star's budget would be zeroed out, and appliance makers would be asked to pay fees to use its labels. Another section suggests that the EPA's mission doesn't involve helping companies address climate change. " The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for several voluntary partnership programs related to energy and climate change," another section reads. " These programs are not essential to EPA's core mission and can be implemented by the private sector." Cleanup of Superfund pollution sites was also slated to be cut, but will be restored given the Congressional budget. Reading the budget documents, it's hard to escape the impression that the administration would simply rather not know about the world around us, even when that knowledge could be essential to saving lives and property. But there are also hints that they do not want the public to know what it's missing, as the budget would cut off several sources of public-facing science. Funding for National Heritage Areas, in which the government helps preserve significant privately owned sites, will be eliminated. So will money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. As will NASA's Office of Education. The good news is that Trump proposed a similarly draconian budget last year, and Congress ignored it. The seriousness of this year's proposal was already undercut by the fact that Congress pre-allocated more money than the administration wanted. Still, as a window into Trump's view of the role of science, the documents present a grim picture.
Nuclear is the big winner in FY 2019's proposed budget. On Monday afternoon, the Trump Administration released a budget proposal (PDF), including new figures for the Department of Energy (DOE). This budget proposal is just an opening salvo — Congress must approve the budget before it takes effect, and without a doubt there will be negotiations over the details. This year's suggested changes to the DOE budget track the ones found in the presidents first budget proposal in 2017. Notably, the proposed budget yet again eliminates the popular Advanced Research Projects Agency—Energy (or ARPA-E) program, which has funded early-stage energy research through a federal grant program for years. The main text of budget proposal says the DOE ought to receive $29 billion, down from about $30.1 billion, but an addendum text adds another $1.533 billion to the DOE budget, which would reflect a budget increase of about $500 million over what the DOE received in 2017. However, despite a relatively stagnant budget for the DOE, renewable energy programs will be cut dramatically beyond the elimination of ARPA-E. Under the plan, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy sees its budget cut from around $2 billion to $696 million (PDF). ARPA-E was slated for elimination in Trumps budget proposal last year, but Congress ended up allotting the energy projects incubator $15 million more than it was initially supposed to receive. The program provides grants to early-stage energy-related startups in every state, so red states and blue states alike benefit. ARPA-E has successfully funded not just renewable energy programs, but it also funds energy efficiency research and vehicle fuel research. But this year the Trump Administration is trying to kill it again, eliminating the entirety of the programs $305 million from the DOEs budget. In a document detailing the elimination (PDF), the administration writes: there has been concern about the potential for ARPA-E's efforts to overlap with Research & Development (R&D) being carried out, or which should be carried out, by the private sector. (On the contrary, ARPA-E's directive is to fund technology that is uniquely too early in its development for private sector funding.) The document goes on to say that the Energy Department should redirect any unobligated balances in ARPA-Es coffers, and transfer any remaining contracts elsewhere in the DOE, to ensure full closure of ARPA-E by mid-2020.Other programs that the Trump Administration wants to kill include the Title XVII Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, which provides loan guarantees for clean energy programs; the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program, which admittedly has not provided a new loan since 2011; and the Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program (PDF), which works on "tribal energy sufficiency." The administration says all those programs can be managed by the private sector. Even if the Administration is able to kill ARPA-E, there's still money set aside for federally-funded research. The $1.5 billion addendum allocates $1.2 billion to fundamental scientific research pertaining to Americas energy future, although details on that are slim. Other items in that addendum include an additional $200 million for Fossil Energy Research and Development to fund research and development (R&D) of clean coal technologies, on top of the $300 million R&D budget that the Office of Fossil Energy would already receive through the proposed budget. A mere $120 million of the addendum's dollars would be definitively dedicated to sustainable transportation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency technologies including energy storage, renewable generation, smart buildings, and electric vehicles. The Department of Energy is responsible for the nations nuclear stockpile, and a lot of the funding would go to maintaining and upgrading that. The Budget makes significant investments in design and construction of facilities, with an emphasis on infrastructure related to strategic materials (e.g., uranium, plutonium, tritium, lithium) that are critical to the nuclear weapons stockpile, the proposal notes. It also includes funding for efforts to remove nuclear materials from insecure areas around the world and helping countries develop strong programs to secure those that remain. Additionally, $445 million will be dedicated to exascale computing and $105 million will be dedicated to quantum computing advancements. $757 million will be dedicated to advancing nuclear energy, prioritizing support for early-stage R&D on advanced reactor technologies, including small modular reactors, and advanced instrumentation and manufacturing methods. The proposed budget also will include money to find an interim storage program for nuclear waste while the administration pushes forward with the licensing of Nevadas Yucca Mountain geologic repository, which has been proposed as a long-term storage site. New Mexico's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) , which houses nuclear waste from weapons development, is also funded through the DOE. Finally, about $180 million of the DOE budget would be dedicated to grid modernization a joint effort funded by the Office of Electricity Delivery, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, and the new Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response.

The real estate market in the United States has bounced back remarkably from the housing crash of the late-2000s. Low-interest rates and limited inventory produce an ideal environment for sellers. Homes this spring are selling faster than ever.
Home sales jumped nearly 9 percent in March compared with March 2016, even as the number of homes for sale dropped 13 percent, according to a new report from Redfin.
In fact, today is the most profitable time to sell a home in almost 10 years.
Realtor.com also reports that active inventory on the website was down 11% in December of last year compared to inventory in December 2015. And that's after 51 straight months of already below-normal inventory levels. As a result, 2017 was starting out with the smallest inventory of available homes since the last recession, if not longer.
Housing experts are predicting existing home sales of 6 to 6.5 million units in 2017 and then above 1.3 million new homes being built per month up to 2024.
But will it be enough?
American builders are feeling optimistic; however, 1.5 million units is more what is needed to fill forecasted demand.
Buyers, on the other hand, often face escalating real estate prices, bidding wars and lengthy search periods as they enter an increasingly competitive market. Even as more homes come on the market for this popular sales season, they're flying off fast with bidding wars. With that said, record high prices in some local markets are not thwarting hungry buyers, as they rush to take advantage of the lowest mortgage rates of the year.
In order to compete, buyers are coming in with cash and dropping contingencies. That is because, in such a hot market, homes are appraising well below the sale price. Home prices have now surpassed their last peak, and at the entry level, where demand is highest, sellers are firmly in the driver's seat.
More homes came on the market in March, but fierce demand made quick work of them. At the end of the month, the supply of homes for sale nationally was down 6.6 percent compared with a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors. Unsold inventory is a slim 3.8-month supply. A balanced market between buyers and sellers has a 5 to 6 – month supply.
The steep competition also pushed the median price of a home sold in March to $273,000, up 7.5 percent year over year.
According to recent data from the Mortgage Bankers Association, purchase activity is up 3% year over year despite an increase in interest rates. While the longer-term trend for rates is higher, we are seeing a bit of relief right now as well-qualified borrowers start seeing rates of 4% or less —the lowest levels of 2017. That will only spark more activity in the coming months, fueling already high demand.
Unemployment is ultra low, the labor market is very tight and Americans are finding plenty of work. The headline unemployment rate fell to 4.4% in April as payrolls surged after a March lull. The details also were encouraging, with hourly pay up 2.5% year over year and hours worked slightly higher. A strong job market means more Americans with stable family budgets, and that ultimately results in a robust housing market.
Comparable properties, sometimes called "comps", sold in your area also impact your own home's market value. Appraisers and real estate agents look at recent sales of homes with similar features to use as a benchmark against your home's potential price. Cities with robust local economies have seen strong price growth during the housing market's recovery. Low housing supply has helped push up prices to create competitive markets where bidding wars and above-asking price sales are common.
Because of the hot market, over 50% of homes are being sold above list price, this adds value to your property as well.
Homeowners who sold in the first three months of this year saw an average price gain of $44,000 from purchase, according to a report from Attom Data Solutions. That's the highest gain since 2007.
Not only are home prices rising, they're moving fast. On a national level, homes sat on the market for an average of 45 days in the first quarter, down from 84 during the same time period in 2011, according to data from Clear Capital. The houses in really good condition are selling really fast.
In the five fastest-moving markets, homes are on the market for less than 21 days.
If you have any kind of challenge with your property — busy street, odd floor plan, hadn't been able to sell it three years ago — now is the time to put it on the market!
But not all homeowners are swimming in equity and have buyers lining up around the block.
Some say a home in this market will sell itself. That's true, but only if it's priced strategically, staged well, photographed professionally and marketed properly. That's why it's important to pick the right real estate agent.
If you are looking for the best results, it's important to come to the market prepared, rather than just assume that selling your home will be a snap.

Corruption case filed against Kerala cricket bodyJanuary 2nd, 2009 - 8:20 pm ICT by IANS
Kochi, Jan 2 (IANS) The state vigilance department Friday registered a case against office-bearers and others of the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) after a cricket enthusiast complained to a special court about several incidents of corruption in the body. Balaji Iyengar and two others sent copies of their complaints about alleged financial manipulation in the KCA to Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan and the Central Bureau of Investigation.
They also filed a petition at the vigilance court in Thrissur in November last year. Following the petition, the court asked the vigilance department to investigate the matter.
The vigilance department will investigate the alleged corruption that took place in the conduct of two international one-day cricket matches played in Kochi in 2006 and 2008.
Vigilance department chief V.N. Nandaraj confirmed that the case has been registered against KCA secretary T.C. Mathew and 85 others, who were involved in conducting the two matches between Pakistan and England at Kochi.
"A case has been registered based on the direction of the court and the investigation will begin shortly," said Nandaraj.
Iyengar, a chartered accountant by profession, recently formed the Kerala Cricketers Forum (KCF), a group of former cricketers from Kerala and cricket lovers, and demanded that the authorities immediately intervene and examine the KCA's working.
One of the major discrepancies the KCF has mentioned is that the chartered accountant who audited the KCA's accounts for the financial year ended March 31, 2007, asked the body's executive committee to file a police report and seek an inquiry into the corruption.
However, the KCA secretary told reporters that the whole thing was a "conspiracy against them".

Man robs barbecue restaurant at knifepoint
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three Little Pigs Bar-B-Q was the target of an armed robbery Thursday evening.
Officers were called to the restaurant in the 5100 block of Quince Road around 8:30 p.m.
Police said a man came into the restaurant and took an unknown amount of cash. He was armed with a knife.

ivan had his first physical therapy appointment for torticollis. we met our awesome therapist named amy. we learned some great stretching exercises for his neck and an outward-facing football hold. amy said that he should be fine in just a couple-few months. his neck will be nice and strong and his flat spot should round out.
ou our way to the bus stop, the bus pulled up and mateo started running toward it. we were holding hands and i had ivan in the beco on my front. as teo started running i was still walking, i lost my footing and fell forward. i did not land on ivan (thank goodness) but his head did hit the sidewalk. his little snuggly outfit got dirty on the hood where his head hit. i told nick what happened and he said i should call the doctor, so i did. the doctor had me check for injury and he seemed fine so he gave me a list of things to watch for that might indicate a concussion.
ivan likes
- boobies
- binkies
- swaddles
- fart noises
- tongues sticking out
- being entertained by his big brother
- the changing table art
- bedroom window and curtains
- the light on the ceiling in the bedroom
- the wall (not as much anymore...)

On a long solo car trip this past weekend, I downloaded several podcasts to listen to as the miles passed. One was a classic: The Invention of Money, originally released by NPR's Planet Money team back in January of 2011. I highly recommend listening (or re-listening) to it in full.
The podcast is a great reminder of how any currency in a monetary system is a fabricated construct. A simpler way to explain this is to say it has value simply because we believe it does. » Read more

Workplaces are about people. And building connections between people at work is one way to help address and reduce a variety of issues, including stigma.
Dr. Heather Stuart, a world-renowned leader in mental illness stigma research, has suggested that the best approach for reducing stigma is through contact with people who have experience with mental illness. This contact can be through video resources such as those found in Working Through It* or through live interaction.
The more contact we have, the more we can relate to the stories of people with mental illness - and start to see mental illness as part of the human condition.
The intended outcome of reducing stigma is to end discrimination. But the impact on individuals goes beyond legal ramifications. An end to stigma can actually save lives. Dr. Stuart said, "Most people say that experiencing the stigma about mental illness is worse than the mental illness itself."
Social isolation, being judged as incompetent or unpleasant, or feeling that you are a burden or unwanted all can contribute to feeling that life is not worth living. When we remove the stigma, we can treat mental illness like any other health issue. We can recognize when someone is not well. We can identify resources and supports that are available. And we can help someone in need access those supports.
Clara Hughes is a Canadian Olympian and mental health advocate. Her version of "contact" is to speak at events, on television and radio. She helps to bust stigma by publicly sharing her personal and family stories about her experience with mental illness.
Workplace safety and prevention expert Andrew Harkness believes that it's time to bring mental health issues out of the shadows and into the forefront of workplace occupational health and safety. "Hearing from people like Clara Hughes is helping to clear the decks for issues that have always been there," he said. "Employers are starting to understand that these issues are more costly to them when they aren't being addressed."
If you haven't already done so, sign up for our email newsletter to get links to videos by people like Clara Hughes, information about new resources, and news about events related to workplace mental health.
*Dr. Stuart is not in a position to comment on or endorse Working Through It.

If I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing,
And follow the ship that my true love sails in;
And on the top rigging I'll there build my nest,
And I'll pillow my head on my fond lover's chest.
I am a young maiden and my story is sad,
For once I was courted by a brave sailor lad;
He courted me truly by night and by day,
And now he has left me and gone far away.
He promised to take me to Donnybrook fair,
To buy me red ribbons to tie up my hair;
And I know that someday he'll come back o'er the tide,
And surely he'Il make me his own loving bride.
My parents they despise him and will not agree,
That I and my sailor lad married should be;
But let them deride me and do what they will,
While there's breath in my body, he is the one I love still.
If I were a scholar and could handle a pen,
Long, private letters to my true love I'd send;
I'd tell him my misfortune, my sore grief, and woe,
If I'd wings like a dove, to my true love I'd go.
If I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing,
And follow the ship that my true love sails in;
And on the top rigging I'll there build my nest,
And I'll pillow my head on my fond lover's chest.

Ieyre: Hello, Conan fans! Welcome to my first Detective Conan fic...and the first solely Kogoro/Eri centered fic on F.F. Net (I'm pretty sure )! I fell in love with Detective Conan this summer (I watched a LOT of Case Closed and read a LOT of DC manga) and for some odd reason my fav character is Kogoro. Don't ask me why, I just think he's the funniest character! I also LOVE Eri, she is AWESOME, so I decided to write this ficcy about the two of them in High School. There are a few references to the manga (volume 32 and 41, mostly), but most of its my INTERPRETATION of how Ran's parents acted in high school. Also, Yukiko will make an appearance (she will be important, too ) . I am already on Chapter 5 of this fic, I waited to post for a few weeks because I don't want to rush. Also, the more reviews I get the quicker I will post new chapters :).
The title for this fic comes from a Paul Simon Song by the same name. This is a really pretty song that reminds me of Kogoro and Eri.
And so, enough rambling! On with the prologue!
You've got the cool water
When the fever runs high
You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
'til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
"Something So Right" by Paul Simon
Uh oh. I know what's going to happen...I've been dealing with it for the past like, 12 years of my life.
"Just where, dare I ask, are you going? If I recall correctly, your classroom is THAT way."
Lielielielielielie...gotta think up one quick. Think think think...I've got it!
This is bad, this is BAD...
"Yes, oh exalted one?"
I probably shouldn't have said that so sarcastically.
.....Oh. Man. I forgot about that!!! Well, I guess this can't get much worse...
"...Tell me the truth. Where were you really going?"
Spoke too soon. I can't lie when she gives me that look. EVER.
"Erm, well...you know, out...side."
...I guess that's SORT of true...
"WHERE outside??? We have CLASS!"
How to word this best...
"I was hungry...I was, um, going to go out for some food. Anyway, why's it any of your business? Your JOB is to make sure students stay in class, not interrogate them!"
Stupid stupid stupid...why did I just say that? Her only crime is caring about me, and how do I repay her?
"My job as hall monitor is to catch offenders of school rules. My job as your friend is to find out what you were doing...and don't try to throw me off, because I know you better than anyone. SO, tell me exactly WHERE you were going to 'get some food'."
Why isn't there a single judo move I can think of to get me out of telling her the truth?
"Well...erhm...there's some pretty good places..."
At that incredibly safe and legal four-way intersection by my house with all the nice restaurants?
"-at the race-tracks."
...Hm, I guess shock CAN be useful. So, before the flames shoot up behind those glasses I think I will make a quick getaway-
"Oh NO you don't, mister!"
OW ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow...ear-pulling hurting dragging...OW! Well, my quick getaway was cut-OW!-short by her quick collar grabbing ability.
"-Sometimes I don't know what to do with you-"
You always think of something.
"-I mean really, skipping class is bad enough, but going to a horse race and gambling is a serious-"
I wonder what's worse, having your ear talked off, or pulled off?
"-You should really be concentrating on school, what about college entrance exams-"
You should be happy, you've already been asked to go to about 6, no matter which you choose you won't have to deal with me anymore.
"-Worrying myself sick all the time, and for WHAT-"
Eeh. Worrying. That's what always gets me. WHY do you worry about me? You shouldn't even care about me. Why bother? I don't understand why you do...
"-I feel like your mother-"
You feel like my mother to me, too. Yeesh.
"-You're about as mature as-"
Actually, scratch that. You feel like my mother with a pair of great legs...I have a nice view of them, too, being dragged behind you like this...Hm, I wonder if you would let go if I-
"-You should be ash-EEEEEEEEEEHHHH! Kogoro, you pervert!!! How DARE you touch me-get back here!!! Get back here so I can pound you into the floor!"
My, my. That red is so fetching on you. In fact, it almost makes this whole crummy day worth it. Hehe...you're so, so angry...crud, you're so angry you're gaining on me! People are starting to stare.
"When I get my hands on you, you are going to be WORSE than dead!"
I don't doubt that...oh, I have never be happier to see you, sensei! Please protect me from this rage-driven creature!
"What have you done now, Mouri?"
I can feel the sympathy dripping from every word...not.
"Nothing, sir, but for some reason Ms. Kisaki is very upset. I can't imagine why."
Like he'll believe that. Eri's and my fights are practically LEGEND at this school.
"Hm. Well, Ms. Kisaki is coming over right now. Dear me, she looks upset. I can't imagine why."
Ha.Ha. Laugh it up. At least YOU lived past 20. I, on the other hand...
"Ah, Ms. Kisaki. Were you looking for Mouri? He's right over here, behind this trash can."
My last resort, ruined. What am I, this guy's least favorite student or something? Oh, wait...I am. Darn.
"You've dug your own grave, Mouri. Now lie in it."
Why that-...I swear that if I live through this (doubtful) I WILL get revenge on that guy. I hope Eri heard him, vindictive son of a-
"Hello, Kogoro."
If she DID hear him, she's giving no sign of caring at all. Not that that's a big surprise. I mean, I AM the guy that pulled her hair the first day of kindergarten (though I will maintain till' my dying day that she started it. I don't care what everyone claims about her being some sweet quiet little angel, she can be downright scary when she's in a bad mood. At least from my experience.) ,which I think has had a lasting impact on our relationship. Everything I do ticks her off. Right now she's doing the forced calm, which is even scarier than all-out yelling, because the repression usually causes something even worse.
Like cold-shoulder.
Or crying.
The WORST.
Here it comes...
"-Lately I've been wondering...about, well, a lot of things, and I mean, well, you..."
"You do these things-"
Wait a sec...am I imagining things or is she BLUSHING?
"-Like what you did back there, just a minute ago-"
I MUST'VE imagined that. Maybe I just WISHED it...
"-And I don't understand exactly, if you're doing it because you're just trying to, I don't know, BUG me-"
Does it bug you?
"-Or if...if you're doing it...for another..."
Here I am, sitting on the ground behind a trash can, and she's leaning over me, asking me these weird questions, with this strange but admittedly pretty look on her face...is she TRYING to torture me??? It's taking all the self-restraint I have (and that's not much) to keep myself from leaning back over and throwing my arms around her and kissing those soft lips of hers...
This is it...it's as good a time as any to tell her...just say on... 'I love you Eri Kisaki.'...Why does that sound so easy in my head and so hard on my lips???? Woah...that was kinda poetic...almost distracts me from the beautiful girl leaning over me expectantly, waiting for some kind of brilliant explanation.
"Um, eh, Eri-"
What the-oh my friggen'...why the heck do those teachers have to come out of the damn teacher's lounge all at the same time?
"-So then she said-eh? What? Mouri, Kisaki, what are you doing here?"
...Ask her. I have no idea.
"...Nothing, sensei. We-I was just going back to class."
Oh, God, now Eri's all embarrassed. Come one, you're like, the smartest person at this damn school, being out of class once (when you're doing that dumb hall monitor job) means squat. And as for me...well, this isn't any kind of new infraction or anything...so does it matter?
And why the hell are you blushing so much???
"Hmm...Mouri, what are you doing down there?"
Oh. I get it. Really, I'm not slow. At all.
"...I fell?"
Like I said. Not. Slow.
"You fell. Hm. I see."
If being scrutinized by evil sensei Kakashi (the only sensei worse being the one I swore revenge on) wasn't bad enough, I turn to Eri for back-up and find that Kisaki has left the building.
Not literally, of course.
Though it might as well be. She just ran off in the direction of our classroom, practically bolted, without looking back at all. And if I'm not mistaken Kakashi the Satan teacher is putting two and two together in some incredibly biased way. He likes Eri (every teacher does), but he hates me (again, every teacher does).
I have nothing to say to you, man. My day just went from normal to bad to painful to emotionally confusing to just plain weird.
"Come by my office after school."
...I think it's bad again.
If I get a ton of reviews, I'll update this straight away . SO R&R NOW!!!!!!! Push the pretty purple button! Or feel my WRATH!

Is there any more inviting scent then the aroma of fresh baked bread? I think not.
When I cook wild rice I always save 1 cup to make this bread.
- 1 cup cooked wild rice
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 cup white flour (all purpose or bread flour)
- 1 pkg of regular dry yeast (not the quick rise yeast) or 2 1/4 tsps
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries chopped (I used orange cranberries)
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
I like to start this bread in the morning if I wish to have it ready for dinner. It takes about 6 hours in total time.
Step 1: prepare wild rice. I usually cook 1 cup of wild rice which will make 4 cups once cooked. I use 1 cup of cooked rice in this bread and save the remaining 3 cups to use the next day in a salad.
( I have posted a recipe for Wild Rice Salad on this blog )
To cook wild rice put 1 cup rice into a large saucepan with 4 cups water. Let water come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer (low) and put a lid on pot. Let cook covered for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave covered pot on the cooling element for a further 25-30 minutes. Drain and cool.
Step 1: In a large bowl add warm water, white flour, yeast and honey, whisk for a minute to make sure it is combined. This is a runny sponge or a starter. You cover this with a tea towel and let rest in a warm spot for 2 hours.
Step 2: add remaining ingredients to the starter and knead with your hands on the countertop when the dough has absorbed enough flour to form a mass. Knead dough for 5 minutes on countertop adding more flour as necessary. Put the dough into a clean bowl with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. the bowl should be large enough that the dough can double in size. Cover with plastic wrap or just a tea towel and place in a warm spot to rest until doubled in size (2 hours)
Step 3: once the dough has doubled put onto floured counter top.
Step 4: divide into two if you want to bake in loaf pans or keep in one ball if you plan on baking it as a large boule (round loaf) Gently deflate and making a round ball. I put ball on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper and let double in size for the final rise. 1-2 hours
If making 2 loaves, gently flatten each half and then just roll up and into a log. I then place log in buttered loaf pan to have its final rise.
Step 5: let double again in size 1-2 hours. One hour before ready to bake heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Once final rise is complete bake 30-50 minutes until nicely browned.
Step 6: let bread cool at least 30 minutes before slicing and eating. (that is the hardest part!) Open the windows and make your neighbors nuts!!
Step 7: serve with gobs of butter!

Homeschool Schedule
1 comment:
I think this is a great approach for really young children. I am just starting homeschool as well. We are approaching week 6. I am such a crazy, by the book, always on schedule on this time and this subject. I think it drives my daughter crazy a bit. But it seems to be working for us. I've been trying to make it more fun since she sometimes hates the "sit down" work. But not everyday. I noticed that if we do everything we can as much as we can in the mornings before lunch, she is set, prepared and full attention For some reason after lunch, she isn't interested in doing anything anymore and her attitude shifts and she is so much harder to teach afterwards. So I started a new schedule where we pretty much get everything we can done in the morning.ReplyDelete
It does get hard though. I have three kids [2 are babies} so sometimes the distractions from them can get on her nerves as well. But we are trying. I wrote a blog post about my new schedule and plans last week if you care to look. I plan on writing another post in a few more weeks to update it http://www.xoxorebecca.com/2014/09/finding-plan.html

Ed Markey, lawmakers rake in Cape Wind dollars "It just doesn't smell right,"
Cape Wind executives and lobbyists have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars since last year into the campaign coffers of key lawmakers — including more than $50,000 to U.S. Sen. Edward J. Markey — as developers of the controversial offshore wind farm seek nearly $1.3 billion in federal cash and loan guarantees, a Herald review found. Read more here 09:29
Offshore Wind Scam?: Beating the Jones Act – Offshore wind developers outsmart century-old federal law
The Jones Act, initially passed to protect maritime merchants, requires vessels transporting cargo or equipment between two U.S. points to be American flagged and manufactured. But because the offshore wind industry has not yet taken off in the states, the only vessels in the world capable of helping it along are manufactured in Europe. That could leave Massachusetts stuck in a Catch-22, in which manufacturers don't want to construct vessels for an industry that does not yet exist. Read more @southcoasttoday 05:50

During the Bay of Pigs operation, the U.S. was supposed to provide air cover for invading Cuban exiles. President Kennedy, however, was under intense international pressure and ordered the air support to end. Without that protection, the invaders were bound to fail. The attempted invasion was - to use JFK's word - a fiasco.
Castro, more convinced than ever that America would invade Cuba, appealed to Nikita Khrushchev. The Soviet leader had missles which could never reach the United States - if deployed from Russia - but they could reach America if they were located in Cuba.
Years later, Castro tells us what he was thinking at the time, and former Soviet military leaders explain how they secretly transported heavily disguised nuclear missiles aboard 150 Cuba-bound ships. Accompanying those missiles, during July of 1962, were around 43,000 Soviet troops.
CIA agents, in Cuba, reported that Russian troops and missile trailers were seen on the streets of Havana. The federal government dismissed those reports as rumors.
Also detecting an increase in Soviet ships arriving at the island, the CIA requested stepped-up aerial reconnaissance. On the 14th of October, Major Richard Heyser flew a U-2 mission which produced evidence that something was going on in Cuba.
Experts, analyzing the photos which Major Heyser took on his mission, noticed "objects that are foreign to the environment." They determined the pictures showed a ballistic missile site. It had "never dawned on" the American government that the Soviets "would take that kind of risk" (by locating such weapons outside their own territory).
On October 16th, the CIA told President Kennedy there was no doubt: Soviets were installing nuclear missiles in Cuba. "The Russians were so close they could strike without warning." Only Seattle was out of their range.
The situation created "a clear and present danger" to American security.

From "Cold War," a 1998 TV series collaboratively created by the Turner Broadcasting System and the BBC, produced by Jeremy Isaacs. The series originally aired on CNN (in America) and on BBC Two (in the U.K.).
This clip, about the Cuban Missile Crisis, is from Episode 10, entitled "Cuba (1959–1962)."
Amazon.com describes "Cold War," as follows:
...This 8-volume, 24-episode series, narrated by Kenneth Branagh, is a comprehensive history that examines the key events of the arc of the Soviet Union, from its birth to its fall, and provides a thorough analysis of what was going on behind closed doors.
Informed by the stories of 500 eyewitnesses - from citizens and soldiers to historians and statesmen - and strengthened by painstaking reconstruction of archival historical film footage, CNN's Cold War is a heroic undertaking and a sweeping chronicle of the world's most fragile decades.

First seen in this form in 2011, the Volkswagen Beetle and Beetle Cabriolet have been freshened up. The Bug gets new options for individualisation, new Denim and Beetle Exclusive variants and equipment lines. No changes to the engines – three petrols and two diesels, 105 PS to 220 PS – and prices.
New exterior paint options include "Bottle Green Metallic" and "White Silver Metallic". The bumpers in the Basic and Design lines have been redesigned and are now flatter/sportier. The R-Line equipment line (formerly called Beetle Sport) gets its own new bumpers as well, with an additional vent opening above it.
Other highlights include tinted LED rear lights, 17-inch "Philadelphia" wheels and the 18-inch "Ravenna Adamantium" wheels, which are optional for the Design Line and R-Line.
Inside, brighter instrument panel lighting, a new dial and dashpad styling for the Design Line and R-Line are the improvements. VW has new three new upholstery materials and contemporary style packages for personalisation. Also available is the "Black Style Package" which gives one a black finish on the wheels, mirror caps and roof.
The optional R-Line interior package sports R-Line logos on the sill panel mouldings and on the head restraints, as well as an R-Line sport steering wheel. It can be ordered with "Kyalami" fabric seats or with "Vienna" leather.
Special models announced include the Beetle Denim that was previously a limited edition for the US market. An interior clad in jeans, "Stonewashed Blue Metallic" paint and 17-inch "Circle" wheels in "Dark Graphite" with chrome cap set this Bug apart. An "Allstar" special model will surface by the end of this year.
The Beetle Exclusive is the posh one in the family. Based on the Design and R-Line equipment lines, it adds on alloys in "Twister" style in black with bright machined surface (including wheel locks), a black dashpad and aluminium sill panel mouldings with "Volkswagen Exclusive" lettering, seats part finished in "Nappa" leather and Cool Leather, which remains cool and supple in sunlight, VW says.
The updated Beetle is now available in Europe. The R-Line with the top 220 PS engine can be ordered from the middle of June. One last ride?

What Dreams May Come
In my dream, I had just moved to Hollywood (not Los Angeles in general, Hollywood itself with its 1930s bungalows) with my 5 year-old daughter (!) I didn't know anyone yet, but my daughter had been invited to a birthday party, and I was driving our little car in search of the right house. Fortunately, I was being guided by the ghost (or more like a spirit, not frightening) of a young woman. She lived in our house I think, á la The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
I dropped my daughter off and mingled for a few minutes with other mothers who were having cosmos in cocktail dresses upstairs (and eyeing me curiously, since I had spent little time on my own appearance, getting my daughter ready for the party). My hair, a sandy dark blonde (my own boring color), was a bit greasy and I was wearing a white t-shirt and black pants, and no doubt, to them I looked more like a waitress than a Hollywood "yummy mommy."
I remember one of the women was smoking one of those long slim "woman's cigarettes" in an ultra-light (curious, since Angelenos are notorious smoke haters). They had the TV on, showing a beauty pageant, but this was a beauty pageant for men. I was shaken, when I saw my (ex-?) boyfriend, a model, walk down the runway in a relaxed casual shirt and jeans, one hand brushing his blond locks behind an ear. He came in second, but I didn't stay to watch him get "crowned" or whatever they do in male model pageants. I made something up about running errands and coming back to pick her up in a few hours, and got in my car.
My new spirit-friend steered me towards the beach (Pacific Palisades I think), where a small crowd of policemen was gathering, along with some curious onlookers. In the distance, I could see were two cinnamon-colored Model-T Fords (!). I parked my car hastily and got out to see better. I was on top of a small bluff. I was approaching the crowd, when suddenly I lost my footing a bit, and as I looked down, a small scream escaped me. To the right of my foot was a pit filled with sand or gravel, out of which a man's feet were sticking up towards the sky. He was wearing once-shiny black Italian mafia shoes, a bit pointy. I was feeling very queasy, when one of the policemen came to herd me and a woman reporter away from the scene. My spirit friend smiled an enigmatic, but relieved sigh, and walked away into the distance.
I woke up.
And this was just one of the dreams I had last night. Anyone have a clue what this dream "means" in the language of dreams? I sure don't.
Sometimes I go through a time when I have so much REM for so many nights that I myself feel like a walking ghost at daytime. I've often said to my Dad, whose in the medical field, that one day they will actually diagnose it and call it Excessive REM Syndrome (ERS). No deep sleep, just movie after movie after movie; and more exhausting than a night of movie watching, since you're an active participant. Imagine having a movie like James Bond, except you're the agent who has to fight the bad guys... pretty tiring.
Anyone else ever experience anything like this?

Qualifying for Life Insurance with Berger's Disease
Applying for life insurance can entail going through an application process that involves answering health questions, as well as often also undergoing a medical examination. This is because the insurance underwriters will want to be sure that the person applying for coverage is in good enough health to qualify and that the insurance company won't have to soon be paying out a claim.
For those who are in good health, this is typically not an issue. However, if you have certain health conditions such as Berger's Disease, it could mean that your policy may cost more – depending on the severity of your condition. The good news is, though, that if you work with an independent agency that has access to numerous insurance carriers, you are much more apt to find an insurer that fits your coverage needs in terms of the benefits you require, as well as the premium that fits your budget. Even someone looking for life insurance for diabetics or life insurance with high cholesterol can be approved.
How Berger's Disease Can Affect Your Life Insurance Application
IGA Nephropathy, also known as Berger's Disease, is a type of kidney condition. When affected with this condition, an individual may have difficulty urinating, as well as have blood in their urine, and / or have too much protein in their urine.
Berger's Disease can also affect an individual's veins and arteries in the arms and legs. When a person has Berger's Disease, their blood vessels can become inflamed, in turn, swelling and becoming blocked with blood clots – also known as thrombi.
If a person has had Berger's Disease for a long enough period, it can often end up damaging, or even destroying, the tissues in their skin, leading to infection, or even to gangrene.
Initially, Berger's Disease will show up in the hands and feet, and can eventually begin to affect larger areas of an individual's legs and arms. Typically, those who have been diagnosed with this condition are smokers. Therefore, one of the best ways to help in preventing Burger's Disease is to quit smoking or other use of tobacco. If Burger's Disease is left untreated, it is possible that a person's limb (or limbs) may require amputation.
Due to the way in which Berger's Disease can affect the body, this condition can play a part in how – or even if – an individual is approved for life insurance coverage. Therefore, there are certain things that the life insurance underwriters will need to know about you if you have this particular health issue. The more detail that you can provide them, the better decision they can make regarding your coverage, as well as the premium rate to be charged.
What the Life Insurance Underwriters Will Want to Know
In order to apply for any type of life insurance coverage, it is typically required that an individual fully complete an application. This will ask for basic information and details, such as your:
- Name
- Age
- Gender
- Contact Data
- Marital Status
- Occupation / Income
- Health and Health History
- Family Health History
- Smoking Status
- Hobbies
- Foreign Travel
- Other Life Insurance In-Force
Due to your Berger's Disease, the insurance company will also want to know more about this particular issue. Therefore, you will likely be asked to answer some or all of the following questions as well:
- When were you initially diagnosed with IGA Nephropathy / Berger's Disease? This condition is non-reversible, however, it able to be managed if an individual does so through proper diet and medication. However, the longer that an individual has this condition, it can increase the possibility of developing complications.
- Do you take any medication for your Berger's Disease? (And if so, what is / are the dosage? While taking medication can help in controlling your Berger's Disease, it can also put your kidneys at risk of damage if it is not closely supervised by a medical professional. Therefore, it is important that any type of over the counter medication and / or supplements that are taken be done so only with a doctor's supervision.
- Have you experienced any symptoms within the past six months? The underwriters will need to know if you have experienced any symptoms over the past several months. Some of the most common symptoms that may occur in those who have Berger's Disease may include pyuria (difficulty in urinating), proteinuria (protein in the urine), and / or hematuria (blood in the urine).
- Do you participate in any activities that may put your kidneys at additional risk? Certain lifestyle activities and / or habits may put your kidneys at even more risk. Some of these can include drinking alcohol and / or smoking.
- Do you visit your nephrologist regularly? Having regular checkups with a medical specialist can help the underwriters in seeing that you are better managing and / or controlling your Berger's Disease with the help of a professional.
- Have you had any type of relevant diagnostic testing performed within the past 12 months? If you have had any type of relevant lab tests performed within the past year such as an MRI of the kidneys and / or a CT scan, the insurance underwriters may wish to view these in order to obtain a clearer picture of your overall health.
In addition to the information that is obtained, the underwriters will likely require that you undergo a medical examination as a part of the overall application process. Generally, this will take approximately 30 minutes, and it will entail meeting with a paramedical professional who will ask you some additional health-related questions, and will obtain a blood and urine sample from you.
In some cases, it may be necessary for the underwriters to obtain your medical records from either your primary care physician, any specialist that you see for your Berger's Disease – or both. In order for the underwriters to do so, however, they will need to first obtain your written permission.
How Much Will Your Life Insurance Policy Cost?
Depending on the severity of your Berger's Disease, as well as how – and how well – your condition is being managed or controlled, the underwriters will be able to make a decision regarding your life insurance policy approval, as well as to determine the cost of your insurance coverage.
Typically, if you have a condition such as Berger's Disease, you may not be able to obtain a Standard policy rating. However, if your condition is being well managed and controlled, then it may be possible to obtain a Mild Substandard rating. This means that, while the policy premium may be more than an average policyholder would be paying, it may not be substantially higher.
It will be important, however, to work with a company or an agency that has access to more than just one life insurance carrier. This is because, even with all of the very same factors in play such as type and amount of coverage, the premium amount that is charged from one insurance carrier to another can differ substantially.
If you are unable to qualify for a medically underwritten policy, there are still potential options for obtaining life insurance coverage. One such option is to apply for a no medical exam insurance policy. As its name implies, there is no medical exam required as a part of the underwriting process – and because of this, many applicants who have various health issues are able to qualify for this type of coverage. While the premium amount is typically more than that of a comparable medically underwritten plan, these policies do allow for obtaining the coverage that you may need to protect the ones you love.

I found it quite remarkable how well all these elements worked together in creating a Shabby Chic card. It really is a great compliment to the inspiration room photo (above). Not bad at all for my very 1st attempt... if I do say so myself!
Well, enough playing with papers... time to get out & tend to the "Hunny-Do List." Enjoy the rest of your day & weekend everyone! And as always, thanks so much for stopping by to take a look at my cr8'ions.
Happy Cr8'ing!!
