At the recent meeting between US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) at Sunnylands estate in California, the Chinese side emphasized that it was looking for a "new model of great country relationship" with the US.
The concept has been around for a little while: Xi mentioned it during his first visit to Washington in February last year. However, since he became Chinese Communist Party (CPP) secretary-general in November last year and president in March this year, it has been mentioned with increasing frequency.
In response, Obama has emphasized coordination, cooperation and better communication with China. He did emphasize that the US agrees with China's peaceful rise and said: "We have a unique opportunity to take the US-China relationship to a new level," but did not specifically endorse the "new model" concept.
It would indeed be wise for Obama to beware of the hidden agenda behind innocuous-sounding phrases like a "new model of great country relationship." If one goes a level deeper into what this term means, then one would discover the following elements:
First, China emphasizes its rise as "peaceful," but is at the same time engaged in a major military buildup. The US is the only power that could stand in the way of this rise and by emphasizing the "new model" Beijing hopes that the US will accommodate China's rise.
Second, the "new model" emphasizes "respect for each other's core interests and major concerns." For China these are code words for acceptance by the US of China's positions, not only on Tibet and East Turkestan (Xinjiang), but also on Taiwan, the Senkakus — called the Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台) by Taiwan — and the South China Sea.
Third, the "new model" talks about "working hard to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation," and "steadily enhance coordination and cooperation in international affairs, and on global issues." This goes without saying.
Cooperation on humanitarian issues is a good thing. However, while the US has tried to emphasize that China needs to become a "responsible stakeholder," Beijing has never accepted international norms for global responsibility (for example, Iran and environmental issues) and wants to reshape it in its own image.
What does all of this mean for Taiwan?
First, China will continue to use its political, economic and military weight to pull Taiwan into its sphere of influence. In the end, it will leave very little room for maneuver and will certainly not allow Taiwan to determine its own future.
Second, China will use the "new model" to try to impose acceptance of its "core interests," not only on the US, but also on other countries in the region.
The "new model" thus basically means that China wants to be accepted by the US as an equal and that the interests of other countries are secondary.
However, China can only really be a "great power" if it accepts international norms and values, such as democracy, freedom of expression and the principle of self-determination.
It can only really be a "great power" if it respects its neighbors and gives them adequate international space, and comes to peaceful understandings, instead of encroaching on their territory (eg, the Philippines), trying to take a few uninhabited rocks away from them (eg, the Senkakus from Japan), or preventing them from making their own decisions on their future as a free and democratic nation (the case of Taiwan).

Handbook of Sustainable Development
Edited by Giles Atkinson and Simon Dietz
This timely and important Handbook takes stock of progress made in our understanding of what sustainable development actually is and how it can be achieved. Twenty years on from the publication of the seminal Brundtland Report, it has become clear that formidable challenges confront policy makers who have publicly stated their commitment to the goal of sustainable development. The Handbook of Sustainable Development seeks to provide an account of the considerable progress made in fleshing out these issues.

Teen charged in fatal crash
BRIDGEPORT -- Nearly a year after a downtown motor vehicle accident claimed the life of a 56 year-old woman, a teen has been charged with negligent homicide in her death.
The 16 year-old youth and his 15 year-old passenger escaped injury when his Nissan Altima, travelling at more than 50 miles per hour on Main Street, plowed into the woman's car, police said.
The victim, Marian Straubel, was ejected from her vehicle in the Oct. 13, 2011 crash and died of her injuries nearly a month later, on Nov. 10.
The teen's car had struck the left front of the woman's Subaru hard and fast enough to cause it to strike another vehicle and then a concrete-filled steel pole, knocking it 2 inches off its base, said Officer George Vivo, the principal investigator.
The teen, whose name was not released because of his age, was arrested on a warrant Wednesday. He was charged with negligent homicide, reckless driving, passing on the right, driving without a learner's permit and without a licensed adult, carrying a passenger as a youthful driver and driving while using a cell phone.

New Republican House Speaker John Boehner says he doesn't question President Barack Obama's place of birth but it's not within his purview to tell others what to think.
"The state of Hawaii has said that President Obama was born there. That's good enough for me," Boehner, R-Ohio, told NBC 's Brian Williams in an interview to air Thursday night on NBC Nightly News.
Pressed by Williams on what he would say to members of his party who have expressed doubts about Obama's citizenry, Boehner replied: "Brian, when you come to the Congress of the United States, there are 435 of us. We're nothing more than a slice of America. People come, regardless of party labels, they come with all kinds of beliefs and ideas. It's the melting pot of America. It's not up to me to tell them what to think."
U.S. & World
So-called "birthers" have dogged Obama with claims that he is ineligible to be president saying there's no proof he was born in the United States. Hawaii officials say Obama was born there and point to a birth certificate showing the president's birth date of Aug. 4, 1961, city and name, along with his parents' names and races.
Earlier Thursday, a woman disrupted House Republicans' reading of the U.S. Constitution as the 112th Congress convened. She shouted from the gallery "except Obama, except Obama" as Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., was reading "no person, except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States" is eligible for the presidency.
The woman, Theresa Cao of New York, was removed from the chambers by Capitol police. Cao, 48, was arrested on charges of unlawful conduct, disruption of Congress. She was processed at Capitol Police headquarters and released.
On other issues, Boehner told Williams in his first interview as House speaker that neither the defense nor the homeland security budgets would be exempt from consideration for spending cuts. Republicans have pledged to cut the nation's debt this year and plan a move to repeal the new health care law backed by Obama.
"You have to understand that in my opinion 'Obamacare' is the biggest job killer we have in America today. It's a weight over every employer that we have. Thereby requiring them to hold back their willingness to hire people," Boehner said.
Asked to name a program that the U.S. could do without to save money, Boehner said he didn't have one "off the top of my head."
"But there is no part of this government that should be sacred," the Ohio congressman said. "I believe there's room, to find savings in the Department of Defense. There are a lot of needs at the Department of Defense. And I think (Defense) Secretary (Robert) Gates has a reasonable plan to allow the service chiefs to go in there and root out wasteful spending, so that they can find the money that they're going to need to make sure that we have the weapons of the future."
On other issues:
Emotional guy: "Listen, it's ... it's who I am. You know, there are some things I feel very strongly about. And you probably heard that I don't take myself very seriously. But I take what I do very seriously."
Smoking: Boehner said he's tried to quit from time to time — without success. "You know, it's a bad habit. I wish I didn't have it. But I have it."
What do you do for strength?: "I pray. I pray from the moment I wake up. I may pray all day long. Because ... you can't do this by yourself. Can't do it."
Advice for the young generation: "Get a decent education. Work hard. And most importantly, dream big. "

Department Assessment
The Department of Counselor Education actively involves all stakeholders in the evaluation process. Candidates, faculty, field supervisors, alumni, members of the professional community (through various partnerships) and other advisory consulting members provide constant and continuous input to evaluate and improve the department and its programs. An assessment system with different components operating together has been used to collect feedback. Figure 1 below shows the evaluation components of the departments assessment system.
|Student Competencies
The evaluation procedure involves gathering, analyzing, interpreting, evaluating, and decision making among students, faculty and field supervisors. Evaluation data are collected from the following sources:
- End of course evaluations (SOTE)
- Annual surveys of program graduates as follow up study
- Institutional program review
- Faculty promotion, retention, and post-tenure review
- Faculty review of courses and the PPS credential program (regular department meetings)
- Community and district partners review and input through various projects
Data Resources
Utilizing partnership projects to obtain community feedback has been the department's strategy to improve the quality of its instruction and curriculum. The Counselor Education faculty have been moving forward with the development of several partnerships for program improvement. The intensive involvement of advisory consultants who are associated with several critical project partnerships allows for continual and ample formative and summative evaluation. The Department fostered:
- Counselor Education Transformation Partnership 1997-1999
- School-to-Career school, college, and university partnership 1998-2001
- GEAR UP Partnership with San Jose Unified School District, 1998-2004
- GEAR UP Partnership with east San Jose three school districts, 1999-2014
The department also invites students to provide meaningful and timely feedback based on their learning experience in the department. Every semester a comprehensive program evaluation survey is distributed to the students. Data from the exam are reported to all faculty at the first-semester department meeting for program improvement.

The much loved Church of St Mary the Virgin was built in the 13th
century, making the church the oldest building in the village. It
is a true reflection of the village's history since it stands very much
at the heart of the village. The church is surrounded by many
buildings made from local chalk, carrstone and a terracotta brick once
manufactured in the village. Churches designed like St Mary the Virgin
of Heacham, with a central tower built on the crossing, are a rarity in
Norfolk as buildings designed in this manner required a strong
foundation base using good strong building stone. Buildings of
this design often collapsed because of poor quality local stone.
Others were reduced in height, but St Mary's has survived more than 800
In the photograph of St Mary's, Heacham (first church photo on the right) you can see how transepts rising to a great height were designed to support the tower, but these transepts were not well maintained over the years resulting in the extraordinary buttress on the north side being built to support the tower circa 1800.
The church belfry has circular openings on each side which appear small in proportion to the massive tower. This particular feature of the church indicates its great age as belfry openings grew in size over time. A cupola crowns the top and contains the original 12th century bell - regarded as the oldest in East Anglia. Glorious Byzantine style brass lanterns hang from the ceiling identical in design to those of the Basilica in St Marks Square, Venice.
Throughout the church's life, it has enjoyed local support and it continues to retain its place as the hub of the community. It maintains a very active congregation and has a busy and varied calendar of events throughout the year. The Village waits to welcome a new Vicar in 2007 following the retirement of Canon Patrick Foreman after 8 years of dedicated service.
Local legend has it that the Indian Princess, Pocahontas, worshiped at the church when John Rolfe returned with his extraordinary wife and young son, Thomas to England from Virginia. Although the British Court took Pocahontas to their hearts, they planned to return to Virginia. Sadly, Pocahontas became ill and died in Gravesend, Kent aged 22. Rolfe then returned to his land in Virginia leaving their son Thomas in England for his formative years.
Coats of arms of prominent members of the Rolfe family are located inside the church. A sculpture of Pocahontas in Jacobean dress by Otillea Wallace, a pupil of Rodin hangs on the wall above a plaque dedicated to John Rolfe's father.
There are many interesting memorials in the church which are well worth reading. One such memorial is an unknown knight in armour made of London brass (1485). The figure stands 27 inches and, unlike many Norwich made brasses, is not deeply etched. The north clerestory wall hatchments display the arms of three local gentlemen. Opposite on the south wall are the arms of their widows.
St Mary's church organ was built in 1914 by T R Spurdon Rutt & Co of London for the East Finchley Congregational Church. It arrived in Heacham in 1970 with assistance from local organ builders, A J Shaw & Sons. In 1992, the organ was improved by Holmes & Swift. It now has 3 manuals with electro-pneumatic action.
An extension was added to the north elevation of the church in the early 1990s, providing a small meeting room, a kitchen area and toilets with disabled access.
(2nd church photo on the right) Just outside the main entrance to the park of Hunstanton Hall is one of the largest churches in this part of Norfolk, the original Hunstanton parish church of St Mary. This was the home of the Le Strange family which, for many generations, greatly influenced the church and the whole district.
Frederick Preedy, a cousin of Henry Le Strange, built a chapel in the new town, and today St Edmund's is a parish church in its own right. However, St Mary retains a special place in the area with its sheer grandeur and Victorian style. Frederick Preedy was responsible for the restoration of St Mary.
Nineteenth century architecture abounds through St Mary's, although
internally the arcades remain from the earlier church. The tower too, stands
in its original position showing the north aisle was the site of the
original church. Today the building is greatly enlarged in size with the
Norman font set on a high pedestal in a spectacle of glazed 19th century
tiles. Major 19th century restoration works are noted by the standard of
work on its glass. St Mary's glass depicts a fine tree of Jesse,
effectively Christ's family tree, a unique expression of 19th century
theology. You will also find some very good scenes from the Old Testament:
Abraham greets three angels while his wife Sarah watches from behind the
door. Nearby, there is a scene of an angel arriving in time to save Isaac
from his father's sacrificial knife. A third shows Abraham sending Hagar
into exile with her son Ishmael. There are some excellent medieval
influences in evidence in the church, particularly the wonderful rood screen
showing the twelve apostles on its panels. This lovely church shows that is
is very much loved and used and is full of colour.

(6th photo on right) It is believed that there may have been a church in
existence on the same site as the Church of St Mary's, Snettisham.
This idea is supported by the fact that the church was built circa 1340 and
the record of Vicars of Snettiisham (a list is located inside the church)
pre-dates this period. The
church is stunning to look at both inside and out and it a very obvious
landmark in the village - you can see the spire for miles around. It
is built of flint and its
spire measures 175 feet. Building of the spire was interrupted due to
the Black Death which troubled Norfolk during 1348-49. In the past, St
Mary's Church extended beyond the current east window by a further 40 feet.
However, the chancel was destroyed in the late 16th century.

What a beautiful home! I love all the dusty tones and vintage finds. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Looking at home pics like these gives a real urge to go wild at secondhand shops, immediately :) xDelete
Oh, beautiful!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so in love with the colours of this home!Delete
such beautiful photos yesterday and today ...ReplyDelete
I especially love the checked cushion and pink couch!Replies
Thank you dear Barbara,Delete
yes, the pink sofa is lovely, especially against the backdrop of the grey walls...
That rosy sofa is a darling. The touch of pink here and there, so feminine. And the oval mirrors atop the fireplace? Priceless. The shelves filled with knickknacks make me feel at peace with mine.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
Once again, that fireplace gets me :)Delete
And all the interesting finds scattered here and there!
Wow ! It's a wonderful home and it gives me ideas and hope.ReplyDelete
So lovely to hear that Anci, xDelete
Oh wow, this must be one of the best interiors I have ever seen! You're right, the greys and the powdery pink are definitely my cup of tea also! I love this shabby chic feel to it, the mismatched pieces. The whole place feels so comfy and cosy - I want this apartment for myself!ReplyDelete
Ps. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed my little blog a bit :)xReplies
Wouldn't say no to this or any other Brooklyn apartment I have to say :)Delete
I really like the personality of this home, the owner is obviously a true collector with a great eye.
Yet it all looks so cosy and relaxed, x
Woww, what a gorgeous place! I am so in love <3ReplyDelete
Really glad you liked it Bonnie!Delete
Very cool space. There're so many vintage inspired interiors out there but this one has that "Don't care because I like it" attitude which I admire. Know what I mean? Not the trendy "it's an aubusson" way but the much more comfy "no idea...found it in a garage sale" way. Much of my home is decorated with vintage in this way.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think I know exactly what you mean...Delete
This is definitely a refreshing 'vintage-inspired' home
that looks and feels genuinely individual and isn't trying to fit into a certain mould.
Your home sounds wonderful!
Lovely apartments love the way they have been designed and created.ReplyDelete
So beautiful... and so you! Unique and quirky. Love it! :0)ReplyDelete

Every now and then I get blackheads, pimples, cysts, etc on my butt (usually the left cheek, which I think also gets a bit more pressure than my right cheek). The pimples/cysts are generally a little firm, and can get larger (inflamed?) when I've sat on something hard, like the toilet while catheterizing or having a BM - my ROHO cushion, on the other hand, doesn't cause this to happen.
Had another one of these starting around last weekend, and then it popped about three days ago. Usually when this happens, I'll throw a bandaid over it to prevent it from rubbing, or coming into contact with anything dirty, while it heals, which usually only takes a couple days. This time around, it looks like it's still draining slightly after the third day, so I'm wondering if at this point this is a sore, or still just a popped pimple, but taking longer to heal because it's right over a bony prominence, and the top layer of new skin keeps getting pulled off with the bandaid when I shower.

People from San Diego to Riverside to Anaheim to Los Angeles reported seeing a bright flash in the sky late Monday evening, a short-lived thrill that was likely caused by a meteor.
If you're looking for a story about the likely meteor shower on Wednesday night Nov. 6, click here.
Holly Lindquist told U-T San Diego on
Teresa Hall-Wells of San Diego told us online, " Saw a huge fireball cross the horizon while driving down the freeway. It was like being in a science fiction movie. I hope someone got it on video."
Such sightings are not common. People regularly see a flash produced by a meteor, a small piece of matter that turns bright when it strike's the atmosphere, typically in the region 50 to 75 miles above Earth. The American Meteor Society says, "Meteoroids are the smallest members of the solar system, ranging in size from large fragments of asteroids or comets, to extremely small micrometeoroids. Whenever a meteoroid plows into the Earth's atmosphere, it will create a brief flash of moving light in the sky, called a meteor. Meteors were once thought to be a purely atmospheric phenomena, and the study of these and other atmospheric effects, especially weather, spawned the science of meteorology. It was not until the mid-1800′s that the extra-terrestrial nature of meteors was widely recognized. If remnants of the parent meteoroid survive the trip through the atmosphere to reach the ground, then these remnants are called meteorites."
Other sightings reported on Twitter:
Michael Thiebaud, "I saw it here in Beaumont. Super huge. Biggest I've ever seen."
usmarine323: "At exactly 11:10 pm I was driving on 78E near 15 Junction. LARGEST #shootingstar I've ever seen."
SandyCheeks_12: "What i just saw in the sky right now was amazing! It was like a shooting star but super bright and big
BlazingLily: "Just watched a huge meteor break into three smaller pieces before disappearing. That was awesome!!"
Jürg Lehni: "I thought it looked green, flashing white."
brentonstrine 54:" Saw a huge blue and green #meteor headed for Burbank or Glendale just after 11pm tonight while headed home on the 101. Looked REALLY close!"
Tony Chavez said on Twitter, "I saw the meteor too on freeway near South El Monte!"

Esmeralda Santiago
Santiago's first book, the memoir When I Was Puerto Rican, was published in 1993 and received great critical praise. Her first novel, America's Dream, followed in 1997. A year later, she published Almost a Woman, a second memoir that took up her life story at the point at which When I Was Puerto Rican ended.
Santiago writes: "I suppose that my life today is about looking at and trying to come to terms with ifs. Human beings are obsessed with the question of 'who am I'? For someone like me, issues of identity are weighted and complicated by the event that has defined who I have become, because it was the migration from Puerto Rico to the United States that made me who I am.
"I was born in one place (Villa Palmeras) at a specific historical time (1948). I was raised in a rural environment (Macún, Toa Baja) that was becoming urbanized and developed to improve the island's infrastructure (a highway destroyed most of our barrio). My first words were in Spanish, a language that, in Puerto Rico, was degrading into Spanglish. I was raised to conform to a culturally specific behavior of a time, a place, a language. It all changed in less than a day, and has had repercussions for the rest of my life.
"I was a different person in Puerto Rico from the one I became in the United States. Not better, not worse -- different."
In addition to her writing, Santiago is an active volunteer for public libraries, for arts programs for adolescents, and for battered women and their children. She lives in Westchester County, New York, with her husband and two children.

Workshop 7: Responding to Writing: Peer to Peer
Peer responses provide a tremendous learning opportunity for young writers. These interactions help students with topic generation and idea development, increase their confidence about sharing their work, force them to look more objectively at their own writing, give them valuable feedback for possible revisions, and allow them to learn from the writing successes and challenges of their peers. Peer response also helps students learn how to give constructive feedback to others, an important life skill.
"Responding to Writing: Peer to Peer" visits the classrooms of three teachers—fifth-grade teacher Jack Wilde, seventh-grade teacher Velvet McReynolds, and eighth-grade teacher Vivian Johnson—to explore various ways that teachers can structure student interactions, from whole-class responses to informal writing partnerships.
The video highlights teaching strategies that help students learn how to respond appropriately and meaningfully to each other's writing. Both Jack and Velvet model response using their own writing, and Jack and his students demonstrate how a whole-class response to an individual writer can help all the students hone their conferencing skills. We also sit in as Jack facilitates a small response group, another way of helping students learn how to respond to each other's writing effectively.
"Responding to Writing: Peer to Peer" abounds with classroom examples of students interacting with each other. It also features interview segments with the three teachers, as well as comments from Linda Rief, an eighth-grade English teacher and the author of Seeking Diversity: Language Arts With Adolescents.

Are there any chess players at ODN? Im a fairly regular, fairly decent player myself. Perhaps we could start a chess club of some sort or discuss chess theory, openings, endgame, etc.
Anyone on board?
Are there any chess players at ODN? Im a fairly regular, fairly decent player myself. Perhaps we could start a chess club of some sort or discuss chess theory, openings, endgame, etc.
Anyone on board?
I'm not much for chess myself. I tend to like games with some element of uncertainty in them.
I always feel like in Chess, if I just work harder or think longer I can win, but I don't want to have to work that hard or think that long. There is a lot of move memorization and its not my forte. I like just enough uncertainty that you can take some risks that could turn advantage to disadvantage or go the other way around and because they limit how far you can see into the future outcome of the game, which in turns means you don't need to try to.
I'm frankly pretty bad at Chess because I don't try very hard to be good at it, but if you realliy want to play someone from ODN a couple of times, I'd give it a go for fun. If you are good you will likely stomp me.
Note: I once designed a game somewhere between chess and Magic the Gathering. Funny thing was, in testing it, people who liked chess hated it, and people who liked it didn't normally care for chess much. Kind of put a bullet to its head from a marketing perspective. "Hey, do you not like chess much? Try out this new chess based card game!"
Feed me some debate pellets!
Chess certainly isn't a game they one can be impatient or unpracticed with and be good at.
I will no longer be replying to any post from a Liberal going forward. I will continue, as normal, to discuss topics and engage in intellectual exchanges with non-leftist
My favorite version of chess was the Mortal Combat Chess. Featured in mortal combat deception.
In order to kill a piece, you had to do mortal combat.. and you know.. actually kill the piece. Stronger piece = more health. So you could overcome a disadvantage with good game play.
My bro in law owned the game and played 24 x 7 , he was 12 after all, I only was able to get fairly decent with one player. So I picked that piece to be my pawn (I think it was Sonia Blade). Anyway, my superior chess skills allowed me to use my pawns to max effect, and I barely won. (True story)
To serve man.

Holland blows save as KC stunned in Philly
PHILADELPHIA -- Greg Holland stood in front of his locker and summed up the evening succinctly.
"It doesn't matter [if my pitches were close] at that point," Holland said. "You can't walk the bases loaded."
That happens to be exactly what the closer did, as Holland blew his first save of the year in the Royals' 4-3 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday night. Holland walked three and gave up a walk-off three-run double to pinch-hitter Kevin Frandsen, only the third hit of the night for the Phillies.
The loss blew a fine outing from starter Luis Mendoza, who worked six innings in which he allowed one run on two hits with seven strikeouts. Jeff Francoeur led the offense with a pair of doubles and a pair of runs scored as the Royals managed just six hits on the night.
Holland came into the ninth in a save situation with a 3-1 lead and was fired up and erratic. Against a Phillies offense that had been mostly quiet, the right-hander walked Chase Utley and Ryan Howard to open the inning on 11 pitches.
Former Rangers All-Star Michael Young stepped in and looked to end the game with a mighty swing on a 3-1 fastball but missed, and after a foul ball, Holland uncorked a ball that rolled to the backstop to load the bases.
"[Holland] had his best stuff of the year," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He was throwing a 97 miles per hour fastball, just his command was just a tick off. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot. I think we walked four guys and all of them scored."
Holland settled down enough to strike out Domonic Brown on three pitches. John Mayberry Jr. followed and struck out looking, which brought Frandsen to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs.
"He walks the bases loaded then he gets the next two guys, and you think we're going to get out of it," Yost said. "I had all the confidence in the world that we would, but Frandsen did a nice job leaning on a fastball right there."
Frandsen hit the first offering into right-center for a three-run double and the win.
"I never felt like I was off track," Holland said. "I just didn't hit the strike zone. I didn't execute that pitch [to Frandsen]. It was up and out over the plate. He was ready to hit early in the count and I was expecting him to be swinging. I just didn't execute the pitch."
Mendoza had at least one strikeout in five of his six innings and kept the Phillies off balance throughout the night. The Phillies managed to get just three runners into scoring position, and Ben Revere drove in one of those with a single that glanced off the top of Miguel Tejada's outstretched glove.
"I felt pretty good when I was out there," said Mendoza, who has five consecutive quality starts dating back to September 13 of last season. "I was able to keep the ball down and use my breaking ball well. Everything worked good.
"The end of the game, that's all a part of the game. You can't say anything about it. My job is to go out there and give my team a chance to win, and today I did that."
Phillies starter John Lannan had opened the game with four no-hit innings -- only Alex Gordon reached base on an error -- and had done so on 43 pitches. He then hit Lorenzo Cain to lead off the fifth and Francoeur -- who is 15-for-28 lifetime (.536 average) against Lannan with six doubles, a home run and six RBIs -- broke up the no-hitter with the first of his two doubles.
The Phillies brought the corners in but kept the middle infield back, so a ground ball to Utley at second by Tejada scored the first run of the night. The Phillies then brought both Utley and shortstop Jimmy Rollins in to try and prevent a second run, but Elliot Johnson found the hole on the right side for an RBI single and a 2-0 lead.
"It was a well-pitched game," Yost said. "Lannan, I thought, was pretty darn good too. The guys kept coming back in telling us how good his changeup was. He kept us off balance all night. To muster three runs, I thought we did a pretty good job in those situations."
The Phillies responded in the bottom half of the inning, as Mayberry Jr. led off the inning with a walk. After a lineout, Lannan helped his own cause with a sacrifice bunt that moved Mayberry to second. Revere followed with a lined single to left that hit off the top of Tejada's glove, and Mayberry raced around third to pull the Phillies within 2-1.
Tejada also added an RBI double in the seventh.

I think we all like getting a nod from somebody. Bloggers take time… sometimes a great deal of time… developing blog posts. Of course, it makes us feel good to know that someone appreciates what we're doing. It's satisfying to write and to express ourselves, but I think, most of us seek something more… hence the comment blocks. We seek interaction, hoping, of course, that the comments lead to civil and rewarding exchanges/discussions. Personally, I'd love to interact with more blogs, but time being what it is… there seems to be less of it (time) these days than in the first year or since I entered the Civil War Blogosphere.
So, it's no surprise that seeing a new best list for Civil War blogs, such as =>this new list [note: As of July 2013, onlinecourses link no longer active], sends hearts a'flutter in the blogosphere, in the hope that certain blogs make the new list.
But, really, what best Civil War blogs list is the best? Here's my take on it…
Look first at who (or what) is doing the ranking. What's their motivation for creating a list? Is it a matter of "Hey, these are just my favs!" or "the following blogs are just really good"? OR, is it a matter of "these guys get a lot of visitors, and to hook-up to that, I'm going to create a "best list", with a badge that's going to work as a reciprocal nod"?
I'll tell you… the best best lists are those that expect little to nothing in return, and are simple nods among fellow bloggers. In some cases, all you have to do is look at the blogroll of a blog to see nods between bloggers. Those are my favorite lists. Those are the lists that matter, first.
Yet, if you must have a best list, which one is the best? O.k., well then, apart from the blogrolls, I particularly like the following best lists.
On the top is…=> Civil War Trust's blog list.
Why? Because being on that list feeds the thing we love… the Civil War Trust helps to preserve the lands on which the war's battles were waged… a critical piece of the overall story. Honestly, there isn't another best list that can top this one… so far. I'd just like to see it updated from time to time, feature different blogs in their "featured" list, and maybe add something that can be found in my next favorite list, which happens to be…
Blog.com's guest Top 10 Civil War Blogs list, created by Kevin Levin. I like it because Kevin took time to give descriptive info about the ten blogs that he selected, and it has a great RSS feed, showing the three most recent posts… very cool! The only thing more that I'd like to see is an expanded list… maybe 20-30 best Civil War blogs.. but then, that doesn't comply to being "Top 10".
But, really, who has the best Civil War blogs out there?
Frankly, what it all comes down to is a matter of personal taste. Some like my blog, some hate it, and some are, at best, "eh-eh" on it. Some read it some of the time… some find it interesting some of the time, and not so much at other times. In turn, I have a range of thoughts regarding other blogs as well. That's all fine. What's my cup of tea may not be yours, and what's yours may not be mine.
It's not a competition, really.
I think, first and foremost, blogs facilitate expression… a need to express… something about something… and usually, a hope that somebody is listening, and perhaps wishes to interact.
So, that's my take on the best of the best lists. If you have a best list of your own, you don't need to publish it on the Web. What matters first is that you read, and interact as you feel comfortable, with what you see as the best blogs.
Keep the history of the Civil War rolling… keep thinking about it… keep writing about it… keep interacting with others who keep it active. There's no better time than now, in the midst of the Sesquicentennial.

Jimenez soaks up experience in Caribbean Series
HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- Angels third-base prospect Luis Jimenez didn't exactly set the world on fire during the Dominican Republic's winter league regular season, batting .231 with a .671 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage). But in the playoffs, he did, with a .365 average and three homers in 52 at-bats.
Now, thanks in large part to that, he's here, taking in his first Caribbean Series experience with a Leones del Escogido team that's looking to win its second straight title and third in the last four years.
"This is awesome," Jimenez said in Spanish. "It's your country, you feel happy to play here, and you get something out of this, too. There are a lot of veterans here that you can learn from, which I like a lot."
Jimenez is essentially a backup third baseman in this Series, with 38-year-old Fernando Tatis -- whose last season in the Majors came in 2010 -- the starter. Tatis is just one of several big-name players on an Escogido club that, on paper, is the best in this tournament. And for advice, the 25-year-old Jimenez can also pick the brains of fellow infielders Miguel Tejada, Hanley Ramirez and Julio Lugo.
One subject he's interested in of late: the grind.
Jimenez played his first season of Triple-A last year, impressing with a .309 batting average, 16 homers, 85 RBIs and 17 steals. And this year, with the Angels stacked on the Major League side and looking for more versatility out of their backup infielder, he looks primed to spend his eighth pro season playing there again.
He also doesn't have a clear path to the big leagues. The Angels recently agreed to terms on a two-year deal with starting third baseman Alberto Callaspo, and when his deal expires, the prevailing thought is that Kaleb Cowart -- rated the No. 1 prospect in the Angels' system last year and 67th overall in 2013 by MLB.com -- will take over.
"I'm not going to say that's disappointing, because you have to understand the team they have in Anaheim," Jimenez, ranked ninth in the Angels' system, said. "It's a very good team, and they have a lot of good ballplayers. I'm going to do my job, the same job everyone has to do, and leave it in their hands. They'll decide what to do with me."

Poopendous! author Artie Bennett turns bodily functions into kid-appropriate art
"Matt said the F-word!" tattled five-year old Maya as my sweet little kindergartners did their morning color, cut and paste. I was shocked, but not so much when I learned that the F-word in question ended in -art. Children are intrigued by smells, noises and products of the bathroom.
This month the Key School welcomes a writer who turns references to bodily functions into kid-friendly and kid-appropriate art.
Take the little ones to the school's Book Festival on Saturday, April 13, to meet Artie Bennett, a master of children's literature who appeals to youngsters' (and yours too, admit it!) love of potty humor. A former librarian, Bennett is the author of The Butt Book and will be in Annapolis with his newest literary endeavor: Poopendous!
Professor Pip Poopdeck, who admits his subject is "icky poo," takes Poopendous! readers on a world tour of customs and uses of animal and human waste. Tossing out toddler words for number two, the professor introduces more descriptive terms like "wombat cubes" and "owl whitewash." He says animals use their business to mark their territory or just to say I was here! (Sounds like smelly graffiti.)
Kids will be surprised and maybe grossed out to learn that some African tribesmen live in houses made from cow dung. That's no odder than slinging cow pies for sport at American county fairs.
The book is silly fun packed with serious educational information. Bennett's rhymes and Mike Moran's colorful cartoonish illustrations make the book a joy for kids and adults.
The Bottom Line: Hear Bennett read from his book (10:30am) at the Book Festival's full day of authors, demos and books.

In Frisco, last piece of undeveloped land near Interstate 70 sells for $2.3 million
The last undeveloped piece of highway frontage in Frisco has been sold for $2.3 million to a retail developer.
The prime commercial site, known as the "Christmas Tree Lot," is a 2.2-acre property located within the Summit Boulevard Overlay District and the Lakepoint PUD. It is on Highway 9 across from Safeway, Walmart and the exit bridge to I-70.
The land has been vacant since it was reclaimed as wetlands in 1998. Rocky Mountain Commercial Brokers, an independent network of independent commercial real estate brokers, announced the sale Friday, Oct. 11.
Darren Nakos, owner of Landmark Real Estate Group, handled the transaction along with Justin Brockman of Miller Frishman Group, and has represented the seller since 2010, working to find the right buyer.
He also obtained a long-term lease with Starbucks, which was sold with the property, as well as a new access point off Highway 9 through negotiations with the Colorado Department of Transportation.
"From all indications, there's no reason to believe they won't move forward with Starbucks," Nakos said.
Denver retail developer NAVA Real Estate Development purchased the land from Frisco Properties. Frisco Properties bought the land in 2006 to hold as an investment, Nakos said.
"This is the first property you see coming off I-70 and heading over the bridge," he said. "The town had a vested interest to see it built out."
The retail project will go through planning stages over the winter, and hopefully break ground in the spring, Nakos said.
"We sorely needed new retail development there," he said. "It's a first impression."

| Time Warp Heals All Wounds
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Time Warp Heals All Wounds (Japanese: 時を超えるハルカ!! Haruka Travels Through Time!!) is the 157th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 431st episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 22, 2005 and in the United States on October 14, 2006.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
While our heroes are stopped at a Pokémon Center, Squirtle runs off—never a good idea when Team Rocket is lurking nearby! May finds Squirtle at an empty train station with an old lady, Edna. Edna's granddaughter Katrina tells May (and an eavesdropping Meowth) the story: Grandpa Jonathan left to become a Pokémon doctor, but Grandma Edna didn't want to leave town. She changed her mind when she realized they were going to have a baby, but she missed his train and he passed away in an accident before she could see him again.
After May returns to the Pokémon Center, Squirtle disappears again. She goes to the train station and finds Meowth pondering Edna's story. Then she sees Squirtle, who's found Edna's old locket. A bright light envelops all three and they're transported back in time! May spots Jonathan and realizes this is the day he leaves for the city, but she can't enter the train station without a ticket.
Thinking fast, May and Meowth use a hot air balloon and Squirtle's Ice Beam to turn rain clouds into snow. Jonathan's train is delayed and Edna catches up in time to tell him about the baby. Then our trio returns to the present day just in time to see May's Pokémon Egg hatch into an Eevee, watched over by Jonathan and Edna. Not only have their lives been changed, but the entire town is better than ever! May and Meowth look on, happy to have done a good deed.
Our heroes begin the next adventure at a Pokémon Center in Fuchsia City, while inside Brock feeds his newly obtained Bonsly. Nurse Joy walks by and gives a friendly greeting as Brock jumps to her side and startles her with his usual romance. After only a few seconds, Bonsly smashes into Brock knocking him backwards and crashing into the ground. Munchlax begins to devour the last of Bonsly's food as it begins to cry uncontrollably. Brock picks Bonsly up and starts to comfort it and lessens its pain. Ash suggests a Pokémon battle to Pikachu and heads outside as Squirtle then follows and May heads after it.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is performing their usual spying techniques and plotting with the usual objective to capture Pikachu. James spots the stray Squirtle chasing off into the distance as May drags behind. Squirtle finally stops running as it comes upon an abandoned area. May continues her search for Squirtle shouting out as she then comes upon an abandoned building. She walks inside and notices a strange picture perched atop a pedestal. The picture reveals two young people and a fir tree in the background. As she reaches the other side of the room, May yells out for Squirtle and receives a cry back from Squirtle. May begins to run towards Squirtle as an elderly woman, Edna, is holding Squirtle and found it as it strayed away.
A soft rain begins to fall as a young girl runs down the platform and comes to meet Edna and May as quick introductions are exchanged by the two. Edna speaks a quick word and then grabs an umbrella from the girl and heads down the platform. May notices a picture lying on the bench where Edna is sitting, which resembles Edna in her younger days.
In another location, Ash begins his training as the ever devious Jessie is just feet away spying on his actions. Ash begins the usual Volt Tackle training with Pikachu as an electrical force begins to rotate around Pikachu's body as it blasts through a mountainous body causing the structure to explode and sends rubble heading towards Jessie's location and collides into her. Pikachu lands as the force dissipates and Ash commends Pikachu for his agile movements. In another location, James is spying on Brock and Max inside the Pokémon Center as they devour the food inside.
The young girl and May sit on a ledge as they look at the picture and Katrina explains that this picture is of Edna in her younger days. Katrina then goes to explain how Edna used to own and operate a Pokémon breeding Center where they cared for and nurtured Pokémon Eggs. Meanwhile, Meowth spies on May and the girl as she then continues the story about Edna. A train whistle is heard as Edna dashes towards the station while the train disappears into the distance with her husband aboard the train. Edna crashes into a man as she struggles to run for her husband. Her amulet around her neck then breaks away from her neck and flies toward the ground.
Nighttime falls upon our heroes as May's Egg begins to glow a faint orange as Nurse Joy takes the Egg from her and explains that it is about to hatch soon. Max notices that Squirtle has disappeared as May runs hysterically for the abandoned city and comes to find Meowth sitting atop a bench. While May interrogates Meowth, Squirtle cries out and points towards the ground. May jumps toward the ground and runs over to find Edna's lost amulet. As she opens the amulet she notices a picture of Edna's husband. A mysterious light begins to emit from the amulet as it then envelops the three and they are then transported back in time during the time when Edna's husband is about to make his departure.
A train roars down the track as May and Meowth dash for the train platform. As May and Meowth walk outside of the station, they notice the same tree from before in the first picture that they found. They then come to realize that they've been transported back in time to the exact moment when Edna's husband begins his departure. As they begin to try to explain the situation to each other, Edna's husband walks beside the two and inside the station. A train personnel notices May and Meowth and then removes them from the station. As Edna reads the letter left by her husband and heads for the station, May and Meowth hop inside a balloon and ascend into the air. The last calls for the train are heard as Squirtle begins to launch its Ice Beam towards the sky. After a few seconds, a faint snow begins to fall as the train is then halted. Edna successfully reaches the station but comes to actually find her husband at the station this time. Edna and her husband walk outside to notice the solitary tree covered in snow and glistening with color, created by Volbeat and Illumise in a courtship dance. The town has dubbed this phenomenon as the "Lights of Joy".
The mysterious light emits from the amulet once more as May and Meowth are then transported back to present time. As she walks outside, the city is now flourishing with citizens as Ash, Max, and Brock rush over to her location. They then rush towards the Pokémon Center as May notices that Edna now has her husband as her companion and has not parted. As the Egg grows ever so brightly, the light begins to dissipate to reveal an Eevee. Meowth peers inside as he then hands May her new Eevee. As Jessie and James are preparing to capture Pikachu, Meowth begins to walk off into the distance with Jessie and James shortly following. As night time befalls our heroes, the tree glistens with the "Lights of Joy". With May's newly forged friendship between Eevee and herself, adventure and battle awaits our heroes just over the horizon.

Taiwan's Chan Yung-jan advanced to the French Open second round yesterday, while title hopefuls Novak Djokovic and Francesca Schiavone gave the Roland Garros crowd only a glimpse of their abilities as they sped to victories on a hot, sunny day.
Chan defeated 31st seed Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic 7-5, 6-1, while second seed Djokovic extended his winning streak to 40 matches with a 6-2, 6-1, 6-3 dismissal of Dutchman Thiemo de Bakker, while defending champion Schiavone raced past Melanie Oudin of the 6-2, 6-0.
Djokovic, unbeaten this year, made light work of the talented de Bakker, peppering the court with forehand winners and mixing his game with cunning drop shots.
The Serbian, who has beaten five-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal twice on clay this season, faces a possible third-round encounter with 2009 US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro.
The Argentine, who has been recovering from a torn hip muscle, recovered from a shaky start to down Croatia's Ivo Karlovic 6-7 (7/9), 6-3, 7-5, 6-4.
Schiavone was as convincing as Djokovic.
Following a low-key start to the tournament with none of the top six seeds in action on Sunday in both draws, the fifth seed was the first on court and she wasted no time.
The Italian needed just over an hour to dispatch world No. 88 Oudin, quickly finding her groove after conceding an early break.
Fans were still lining up outside Roland Garros and the Philippe Chatrier stands were far from full when Schiavone waved the crowd goodbye with a big smile on her face.
"I'm still shaking a little bit. A lot of adrenaline. I felt really happy to be there," the 30-year-old said.
Third seed Vera Zvonareva of Russia put up a solid performance to beat Spain's Lourdes Dominguez Lino 6-3, 6-3.
On Sunday, gusty winds and half-empty stands gave no sense of the usual Parisian glamor as last year's runner-up Samantha Stosur began with an easy win and Lleyton Hewitt pulled out injured.
Stosur shook off the effects of a virus to beat Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-3 on a sun-bathed, yet windswept court Philippe Chatrier.
"The conditions weren't always so easy with some gusts of wind and whatever else, but, yeah, overall, very happy," said Stosur, who noticed with a smile that there "weren't quite as many people this time."
However, the crowd grew bigger on court Philippe Chatrier when local favorite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga sparked off his campaign, but the fireworks did not last long as the 17th seed needed less than two hours to dismiss Jan Hajek of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.
Serbia's Jelena Jankovic, a three-time semi-finalist in Paris, was also untroubled on court Suzanne Lenglen as she breezed past Ukraine's Alona Bondarenko 6-3, 6-1.
Russian 13th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, the 2009 champion, experienced few problems in a 6-2, 6-3 defeat of Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia.
This year's French Open has been hit hard by injuries and Hewitt, the Australian former world No. 1, added to the list of absentees when he pulled out because of a left-ankle problem.
Andy Roddick of the US and former champion Juan Carlos Ferrero withdrew on the eve of the year's second Grand Slam, joining the likes of Serena and Venus Williams and Dinara Safina in missing out.
Croatia's Marin Cilic would certainly get the feeling his tournament was finished before it had properly started as the 19th seed was sent packing with a 7-6 (7/5), 6-4, 6-4 defeat by Spain's Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo, as did Taiwan's Lu Yen-hsun, who was dumped out by Kei Nishikori of Japan 6-1, 6-3, 6-4.
