I had an ex-roommate who's birthday is one day after new years. The guy always pouted and bitched when no one remembered. It was too hard for him to understand that people were away for the holidays and Jan 2 is not a good day for people to celebrate his b-day. People are barely just getting back into town or winding down from new years day.

In today's paper, Times Union education reporter Scott Waldman writes about a new "no touching" policy at RCS Middle School. What do you think of a rule that bans all physical contact between students, even hugging?
Hands off for middle schoolers at Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk
50 Responses
@ #14 If you actually read my post, I was specifically talking about the principal at the RCS Middle school that was mentioned in the article. So, next time before you submit a comment, read the entire post.
Maybe RCS should also ban school dances in the middle school, to avoid any potential contact whatsoever, or require a release signed by a parent and a student to attend. Maybe RCS should also consider banning something as innocent as shaking someone elses hand..a common business practice to show respect for the other party.
Common sense and creating a respectable school climate should be the rule, rather than using punnishments such as suspensions to discourage all activities except those actions or behaviors that could reaSONABLY lead to claims of sexual harassment. Maybe training of staff and students is needed.
The training should include lessons on appropriate and inappropriate touch..something learned in ealy elementary school.
Rather than teaching students right from wrong, this new policy only seems to avoid the issue, rather than finding a socially and culturally responsible way to address it.
This wouldn't work in the real world, you shake hands when you meet someone, you hug when you want to comfort a friend or greet someone close to you that you haven't seen in a long time.
I can understand banning PDA that wouldn't go over in public (making out, touching certain body parts) as a way to teach students proper public behavior. This ban however, doesn't allow friends to high five or fist bump for passing math, or other situations were touching is positive.
Why can't the students be taught what is and is not appropriate physical contact, personal space, and what to do when you aren't comfortable instead of banning any form of physical contact?
So much for freedom and being human. Schools like this are prisons. What a stupid policy that kids can't even touch one another. "Zero Tolerance" of anything (outside of violent acts) is complete idiocy and a giving up on the part of school administrators. I am so sick of these school officials who are out of touch with reality. If any principal thinks hugs are evil then they should be fired and I would not allow my children to go near such a demented person.
Will parents be allowed to hug their children at graduation?
I am one of the teachers directly involved in this and I knew it would be received by the public in the manner that it was. First of all, I only wish that we would get the amount of publicity and the amount of responses that this twisted article received when we seek it on issues that are truly important and critical to the development and safety of our students. It is always amazing to me how quickly people are to criticize things such as a the "Ban on Hugs" article and if we, at the middle school, would receive the support and responses to the initial incidences that sparked this "ban" as the media depicts it, we wouldn't be in the position we are in.
My initial physiological response to the plethora of teacher bashing and negative comments this article espoused was a rise in my heart rate and all of the other normal changes but what good will that do? It will make me feel bitter and in the long run it will just take away from what I love to do- not only teach math to my students but also teach my students how to be better people.
The staff at RCS Middle School is truly wonderful and feel I must at least speak on their behalf because if the public only knew what we do on a daily basis (and I'm not talking about teaching our subject material) to help and to teach our children, I think they would be left speechless. It is easy to cast judgment and to be reactive. It is not always easy to be proactive and to do the right thing, which I feel, is what we did, and as a whole, what we continue to do.
There will always be people to throw stones but they sometimes forget to lock the door of their glass houses
# 36 Probably not.
Are they copying off orthodox Jews? They don't allow any male female physical contact (even a handshake) unless its your spouse.
If RCS is trying to become the laughing stock of the Capital Region, this is a good step in that direction. But No. 15 summed it up better than I can. What a joke of a school district.
It is clear that the RCSTA, Principals, Administrators, the Supt. and School Board are not on the same pages when it comes to enacting policies and how they are executed… expecially when it comes to carrying out their primary mission… providing for the education of students and preparing them for life decisions beyond their secondary school experience.
I stand corrected regarding a recent comment I made on the teacher and the affair…
Cleared… would be a generous term to use, only in that the lawsuit never went to trial. Guilt or innocence was never determined. The student denied the allegation. And, the allegations were never substantiated because of the district's relationship with then Supt. Vicki Wright, who was given a "No confidence" vote.
As comments by "RCS Employee" #11 attest, we would be "shocked by the behaviors.."
Yes… I am shocked… by some, some of the time. But, if you ARE an employee, you should clearly see that you're opinions, like the policy, are over-generalizations, and paint ALL students with the same broad stroke.
Along with being shocked, I am also amazed, encouraged, and extremely proud at what many many middle school students do, and accomplish. And most of these students are being punished by this policy, because of the actions of a few.
Is society becoming more permissive? It can be argued that it is. Permissive in what regard? Clothing? Music? Expression? It was argued in the 1920's that women wearing pants were too permissive. And what would proper people say about a man and a women holding hands in public? GASP! And, my lord, what do we do with that Elvis fellow?
Each generation has always pushed the limits of permissiveness. Some argue that this very process lends itself in preparing kids for what lies ahead. I especially appreciate all the efforts of all teachers in being faced with the daily challenges of adolescents. I also appreciate their opinions, but absolutely detest when they let their personal opinion interfere with providing those students with a sense of controlled discovery. YOUR morals should not be THEIR morals. No more than a Jewish teacher should be teaching Christian values. Or Republican/Democratic teachers using their classroom to promote conservative/liberal values. There are questions that kids need to ask, and perhaps some teachers should not be providing the answers. Questions on tolerance, religion, politics, and yes… acceptable behaviour in public are good questions these students should be asking.
Blaming "media and permissive attitudes" is just a rationalization for trying to teach your own moral standards on a newer generation. Your arguments can be restated as "I can't be wrong, so it must be everyone else, and I must change them to be more like me."
In light of this policy, Parents and students should consider a "Rubber Glove Rebellion" to show how ridiculous and antisocial this policy is for adolescents in terms of their social development. Rubber gloves are not illegal, and go a long way to visually show how insulative, and protectionist, this policy can be. If teachers aren't capable of teaching good touch/bad touch, and instead insist on blaming parents and kids, then perhaps parents should enforce this ill thought policy further with "no touch". After all, will this not be that far off?
It should be noted that kids are already laughing this one off by pantomiming their affections with no-touch hugs, and faux high-fives. Again, they amaze me with their ingenuity and their ability to push the limits of social expression. Wouldn't it be ironic if they showed the iconic 80's movie "Footloose" at a Friday night dance?
Sidenote… someone off-blog wanted to know more facts behind the comment on the current Supt Teplesky's lack of community investment. By all accounts, he is likely in violation of his employment contract with RCS, by residing in Granville NY.
As a condition of his employment, based on the contract signed by Supt Teplesky on March 29, 2009:
Moving Expenses: The Superintendent shall obtain and submit to the Board three estimates from moving companies for his expenses incurred in moving his furniture, household goods and related personal belongings to a location within the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District, and shall be reimbursed for the least expensive estimate up to a maximum of $4000.00.
The entire contract can be found at:
As a teacher at the RCS MS who was actually part of this decision making process, I would like to respond to the many ill informed, poorly supported arguments being made. To start, here is a NEWS FLASH!!!! This policy IS working! While some kids expressed initial annoyance at the no hugging policy (NOT "no touching" as the article incorrectly reported) and mocked it, they are following it. The main issue of students loitering in the hallways to hang all over one another rather than focusing on getting their materials from their lockers and going to the next class is VASTLY improving. There was a stretch of time leading up to the no hugging rule in which students were truly getting out of control. The hormones were raging and the weather getting better was not a help. In order to avoid an escalation of the issues, this was needed. The new rules have led to a de-escalation of some of these problems and that was the hope.
This was a lazily researched article. As I stated above there is not a "no touching" policy. Due to the article's misleading reporting many are people are commenting on inaccurate information. We ENCOURAGED our students to use more low contact yet still physical interactions such as "high fives," "fist bumps" and "handshakes." We are not pushing our sexual mores on the students as some have posited. What we are doing is encouraging behavior that focuses on learning. We have told students hugging is not bad, but it does not need to happen in school. We have teachers with children in the building and couples that work together in the building, but they don't need to hug each other to get through their day. The teachers, staff and administration at RCS MS are top notch. We are not heartless or without empathy, but we do have a job to do. That job is to educate these children and recognize and remove impediments to that education. Support, not poorly researched stories, piggybacked by ignorant commentary, is what we need. For all those who made thoughtful comments, supportive of the teachers' decision. Thank you for thinking this through on a deeper level and realizing that although you may not be directly involved in the situation, there must have been a cause for our actions. I am very grateful.
For those of you who made ignorant, unsubstantiated and even moronic points I have this to say to you. Unless you have spent any time working in a middle school you have no concept of what those who do deal with on a daily basis. Imagine the worst "brats" you have ever encountered in a grocery store line, a sporting event, movie theater, restaurant, around the neighborhood, etc. Think of what you thought of them and probably assumed about their lack of parenting. They all have to go to school somewhere. Some of them go to RCS. It is our job to teach them, just like all the "perfect angels" who do all their work and obey every instruction. Everyone has to be educated. We cannot choose and have to work with what we are given. Sadly, due to poor parenting and other poor influences the "good" kids are subjected to the behaviors of the "bad" kids and sometimes have to follow rules that would never be necessary in the first place if there were no "bad" kids. While a large number of the students do what is expected of them, unfortunately, those who don't have ruined it for everyone. I wish this were not the case, but it is a rule of life. For example, law abiding citizens have to pay more taxes to support the imprisonment of the incarcerated. Is it fair? No. Is it reality? Yes.
@42 – Thanks for your comments and all you do. I know I wouldn't last one week in your job!
As with all communities, this one certainly has it's problems, and well as good contributions. I don't think just saying that RCS is "idiotic" and "has no values" is true or the answer to anything. Certainly those who say this, obviously are "viewers" and not those that are truly interactive with the community. However, being that I had worked in the school district for many years, and also have children in the district, I saw the increasing hostility that parents have. Often when parents were called in to discuss their child's behaviors, more than not, the parent instantly said it wasn't "their child's fault" and that they will "sure the school" if they are punished for it. Also, say a child does something at school including PDA, and then the parents were mad at their child that they were doing this in school, and the child says "well I didn't want to, so-n-so made me" to avoid being yelled at by Mom and Dad… you would think, the parents would see through it and still punish the child, reprimand them, discuss with them or so on…. but…. no.. instead the parents come to the school and threaten to once again "sue" … It may be that the school is trying to cover it's back from the parents who don't want to be responsible and are just looking for a law suit. Reminder: This is not ALL parents, but trust me… it is A LOT of them. Before we criticize the school for their actions, maybe we should step back and criticize ourselves for putting the school in this position. I don't agree with the rule … but I don't think they "have no values" because they were forced into it. More active parents, makes more responsible children. Unfortunately, for the parents who ARE active and teach responsibility to their children, they are the ones who suffer and have unfair ruling placed against them.
I think the ban on hugging is ridiculous!! Let the kids hug each other for crying out loud!! If it's a short hug to say hello, there is NO HARM in that. I think RCS is going too far with all the rules and the kids are going to start fighting back. They need to be able to express themselves. They can hug without being "inappropriate"! I'm very glad my 2 young adults are no longer in RCS schools!! I can understand that you need rules to keep everyone in line, but come on! NO hand shakes? It's no wonder they are making a joke out of this ridiculous rule. P.D.A. to all!
Just to squelch the idea that this has become a joke in the school, it HAS NOT. The kids are following the rule, dealing with it, learning from it, and moving on.
Is the policy working? Of course it is… but that's a ridiculous conclusion to make. When a policy states that there will be "no tolerance" for kids using inappropriate language, and "Students need to ….", kids and parents both recognize that the policy is based on fear and intimidation. Kids don't enjoy being yelled at or harassed by teachers/principals, or being called to the office. And parents don't enjoy taking time off from work to meet with principals and teachers, for what amounts to a judgement call.
"What we are doing is encouraging behavior that focuses on learning."
No you're not. This is just philosophical BS.
When a policy states that certain actions ".. will not be tolerated"??? That doesn't sound too encouraging, it sounds… intolerant… literally. It sounds dictatorial. Don't tell them what NOT to do, tell them what they SHOULD do. Show them what they should do. And reward those that act appropriate. THAT'S how you encourage.
"For those of you …you have no concept of what those who do deal with on a daily basis".
This is not a good argument to make. You are basically stating that anyone who is not an educator is ignorant and parents are not smart enough to comprehend the inner machinations of public education. I know plenty parents who are doctors, lawyers, engineers who are not only brilliant, but wonderful caring parents. Teachers are not that smart, and non-teachers are not that dumb. Get over yourself.
Speak for yourself. I know plenty of teachers who love everything that comes with the career; from rewarding honors students, to the challenges of kids with special needs. If you can't, or don't want to "deal" with certain concerns, then perhaps you are in the wrong career.
I could easily argue that the reason I have "no concept" is because teachers fail to converse with me. Conversations are two-way… as opposed to a lecture, which teachers are great at.
"Sadly, due to poor parenting…" How do you define this? And when did you define the standard? Are you referring to the alcholic mom that works two jobs, and still has two kids on the honor roll? Or the parents that afforded to send their kids to Italy who were subsequently arrested? Or, in your mind, do good parents require teaching certificates and masters degrees, live behind pickett fences, in houses with two car garages?
You state that you are not "pushing our … mores (morals?)", but clearly you are. You want kids not to be "brats". You want them to be more like you. And, by your argument, because it can't be your fault, it must be the parents fault. And, based on your logic, you can tell all of us a good parent when you see one.
Your ideological approach to education is very disturbing because you cannot see that everyone can not be molded into the image that you have in mind. Certainly those "brats" and "poor parents" are not up to your personal standards. Somehow you feel a need to make these kids more like you.
""You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!"
"When we grew up and went to school
there were certain teachers who
would rule the children anyway they could.
By pouring their derisions
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
I don't need no arms around me
And I don't need no drugs (Ridalin???) to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall"
Most educators hate these lyrics because they mistakenly take them out of context. Educators like to think that they are empowered with, and if not solely responsible for, the right to "mold young minds". What they actually have is a partnership and responsibility which needs to be accounted for. It is also true that parents also have a responsibility… to question what their children are learning, how that content is presented, and whether entrusted teachers are teaching kids to think about that content with a critical mind. Without collaboration (between parent and teacher) education becomes an abhoration.
"Good morning, Worm your honor.
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature;
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor.
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today?"
— David Gilmore and Roger Waters, "The Wall"
It is truly scary how these lyrics echo a sentiment and methodology that are sometimes professed by some so-called educators.
I'll finish by sharing this from one of the seminole pieces of American literature.
"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around – nobody big, I mean – except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff – I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be." — Holden Caufield 'Catcher in the Rye' by JD Salinger
It's crazy to think that you're the only one.
I must say, the children are at "that age". EDUCATING them and being insistant about how they should respect their bodies, and the bodies of others is far more helpfull than setting a rule that is going to be broken. Children learn respect if it is taught in a respectful way. Social reform is achieved through education, not throught punishment. All educators should know this. "throw out the box and teach our kids".
I go to RCS Middle school and I don't see why they have this rule. I rarely ever seen kids kissing in the hallway. Yeah, I've seen hugging and hand holding, but I don't see what the big deal is about that. It's not bad. Get rid of that rule. It's driving me nuts.
My my my …. it got quiet. Where did all the 'educators' go?
Seems like we may have pulled the curtain back over the great and all powerful "Oz".
Seems like the educators are okay with being able to lecture to a 12 year old. But, when faced with trying to hold a discourse with us 'dumb-dumb' parents, they crawl back under the woodwork?

NEWCASTLE skipper Kurt Gidley could miss the remainder of the season if he requires a reconstruction of the shoulder he dislocated in yesterday's 18-6 win against Cronulla at Toyota Stadium.
The Knights five-eighth and skipper faces an extended period on the sidelines, throwing Newcastle's premiership campaign on its head just two rounds into the season.
Gidley suffered an identical injury against the Storm at AAMI Park in round eight last year, and as a result was ruled out of the Anzac Test and missed the next month of football. He didn't have surgery in the off-season, and if he requires a reconstruction, he might have played his last game for the year.
The 29-year-old went up the tunnel yesterday just five minutes into the contest. Although the Knights medical staff tried to get their play-maker back on the paddock, coach Wayne Bennett said he was in no state to return. ''We just weren't sure how bad it was,'' Bennett said. ''He's subluxed it before and it wasn't so bad and he's been able to go back out. But it was just too bad.''
Newcastle have a poor record without Gidley, winning just four of their past 15 games when he's been missing. To add to their concerns, back-up halves Tyrone Roberts and Ryan Stig have injury worries, too. But Bennett refused to go into panic mode, confident his team could overcome losing their go-to man.
''Roberts is injured and Stig is just coming back this week, I think,'' Bennett said. ''No team is immune from injuries; we're not any different. We'll just get on with the season and do the best we can.''
Gidley's injury forced Bennett to chuck substitute Matt Hilder into the game a lot earlier then he had hoped. While Hilder isn't a noted five-eighth, Danny Buderus - who is likely to take over the captaincy if Gidley is sidelined - said he filled the void exceptionally.
''You lose a lot of your structure when you lose one of your halves and one of your dominant voices,'' Buderus said. ''Kurt provides a lot of energy, but Matty just jumped in there and made a good fist of it.''
Buderus believes the 12-point victory will prove to be a key moment in the team's season if their leader is to be ruled out for an extended period. The commitment and composure they showed to overcome the Sharks is what they need to emulate in coming weeks if they are to be a threat without their regular No.6.
''I think that game will make us better equipped,'' he said. ''You can draw on something like that. It gives you confidence when any of your top-line players drop out, to come away with the win away from home. If it happens again or we lose 'Mullo' [Jarrod Mullen] we can adapt and form into the team we were today and try and grind it out.''
Lock Neville Costigan also made an early exit with a calf strain - in the 20th minute - and is in doubt for Friday's clash with Brisbane. He too will have scans today to determine whether he'll be fit to take on his former club at Hunter Stadium.
The Knights played most of the game with just two players on the bench, adding to the enormity of the victory. ''I was extremely proud of their effort,'' Bennett said. ''It was wonderful. They completely gutsed it out, they had nothing else going for them, to lose Kurt so early and Neville on a hot day like today and when they were down to 15 players.
''We just kept hanging in, and defensively we had our moments, but overall our defence saved the day for us. It was outstanding, particularly our goal-line defence.''
NEWCASTLE 18 (C Houston J Sau A Uate tries W Naiqama 3 goals) bt CRONULLA 6 (B Pomeroy try T Carney goal) at Toyota Stadium. Referee: Tony Archer, Phil Haines. Crowd: 15,564.

The tan creme blusher is such a versatile product! Its natural looking and so much better than the powder glittery finish blushers. Being organic its safe to use daily.
The product is easy to apply and spreads evenly, using a brush is not necessary.
This colour does not work as a lip colour for me, does not show up at all on my lips but will work for ladies with lighter lips.
The packaging is sturdy and classy, also easy to carry.
Though the quantity seems very less but its very pigmented so one needs to use very little and it will easily last up to the expiry date even if used regularly.

I usually invest in multipurpose beauty products and this one has been perfect so far! It can be used as a blusher as well as an eyeshadow. Also, I bought the shade Poppy Pink and it's such a delightful shade! Loved it! The best part is that it is completely natural and hence won't lead to any side-effect.

Levine on Wall Street: Talk Your Book, but Only When You Want To
Prominent financial company holds shareholder meeting in out-of-the-way place.
No, not Citi. I'm sure the Berkshire meeting was fun if you're into that sort of thing, and gosh darn it a lot of people seem to be.
David Einhorn talks when he wants.
David Einhorn, who has been known to ask the Securities and Exchange Commission for permission to delay disclosing his stakes in companies, asked for a seven-day delay last November before disclosing a 4.5 percent stake in Micron Technology. His stated reason was that "Mirror trading by 'copycats' could lead to unwarranted volatility and inflated prices in the security," but DealBook has a plausible alternative explanation:
The redacted letter does not mention that the seven-day window of secrecy was set to expire on the same day that Mr. Einhorn planned to appear at a charitable event in New York City where he was supposed to unveil his "best" investing idea. It was at that Nov. 21 investors conference, sponsored by the nonprofit Robin Hood Foundation, where Mr. Einhorn first disclosed that his fund had taken a big equity stake in Micron.
The stock was up 6 percent after Einhorn's presentation. I don't know, I mostly think that investors should have some leeway to build concentrated positions without letting everyone else copycat them, but this is a 13F, where the deadline is once a quarter (and 45 days after quarter-end), so it's not really that onerous. I guess if you're mad at the Ackman/Allergan thing you should be even more mad at this, though at least here there's no merger in the offing.
Credit Suisse is too big to be too small to be too big to jail .
I gather that U.S. prosecutors intend to test the proposition that an indictment won't destroy a large global bank by trying it out on a small unimportant bank like Credit Suisse or BNP Paribas. But Credit Suisse and BNP Paribas are huge important banks! They're just not American banks. Understandably, Swiss (and, one assumes, French) authorities are not happy, and the Swiss finance minister met with Eric Holder last week to make sure that "Swiss banks aren't treated worse than other banks." Which it kind of sounds like they are being? (I mean, treated worse than U.S. banks, not necessarily than French ones.) One could imagine some retaliation if the U.S. went around indicting foreign banks because, hey, their failure isn't our problem.
Companies don't like paying taxes.
So they move to Ireland or Switzerland. On the one hand, the head of "a Washington-based advocacy group that says corporations don't pay enough" says that this is "a lot of blarney," and I see what he did there. On the other hand, another guy says that it's the fault of the U.S. tax system, and that "The entire tax code needs to be looked at to keep the U.S. competitive." This argument is somewhat undercut by the fact that the guy making it is Dennis Kozlowski, though I would guess that there are people without financial fraud convictions who think along similar lines.
If you can't own it, finance it.
Banks are increasingly willing to provide leverage to hedge funds buying collateralized loan obligations. Why might that be?
Banks' increased willingness to lend follows new rules weighing on the $300 billion U.S. CLO market. Many banks own CLOs themselves, holding about $130 billion on their books. New regulations may mean some banks will be forced to sell some CLOs in the next few years. Finding new buyers would help them offload the debt, while keeping prices relatively high.
This is plausibly an intended result of the Volcker Rule interpretation that sort-of-bans banks from owning CLOs, in that providing 50 percent leverage on a given CLO tranche is safer than owning the tranche outright. Still what happens if the CLO market tanks and the banks need to foreclose? They're not allowed to own the assets, right? Meanwhile, U.S. banks have also cut back on exposure to Russia, for fairly obvious reasons.
Not everyone in L.A. understands the concept of interest-rate swaps .
This is a garden-variety story of a municipality that entered into interest-rate swaps on its floating-rate debt to reduce the risk of interest rates going up, and then got sad when interest rates went down. (To be fair, it's one city councilman, not the whole city.) We talked Friday about a ridiculous Portuguese swap that was basically this to the millionth degree. One of the defenses that the swap customer there raised was that unexpected changes in circumstances -- the fact that the European Central Bank had cut rates so much -- meant that the swap was no longer valid. This sounded like a very silly defense: The whole point of floating-rate contracts is that they, you know, float with the interest rate. That's pretty much this case too though -- "we shouldn't have to pay out on our bet because the thing we bet against happened" -- except that these swaps don't seem to be ridiculous. They just seem to be regular swaps, and they moved against Los Angeles.

Daily Column
US Papers Tue: 7 Blasts in Baghdad Kill 24
Some US Soldiers Likely to Stay Behind in Mosul, "What Iraq Can Teach Iran"
From Iraq
Baghdad was the scene of seven explosions on Monday, the worst being to the west of the city in Abu Ghraib, where a suicide bomber blew up a car near a local council meeting, killing seven Iraqis, wounding seven, and also wounding three US soldiers. Seven (a day of sevens) more were killed by gunfire in Mosul. At least 83 were wounded. Marc Santora of the New York Times sums up the day most succinctly.
The spate of violence renewed concerns that extremists would step up their attacks as the June 30 deadline approached for American troops to withdraw from Iraqi cities. There was no discernible pattern to the attacks on Monday, which were likely intended to undermine a general feeling of security that had grown here as violence had receded.Iraqi viewpoints are given more time in Ernesto Londoño and Nada Bakri's report in the Washington Post (although someone didn't realize that lawmaker Shatha al-Ouboussi is a female).
Some of the blasts were aimed at Iraqi security forces and others singled out civilians. In one attack, a bomb exploded on a minibus carrying high school students to their final exams, killing three of the students, according to witnesses and security officials.
Wael Abdel Latif, an independent Shiite Muslim lawmaker, said three factors are driving the recent violence: the imminent withdrawal of American soldiers from urban areas; growing tension between the parliament and Maliki's cabinet as the legislative body demands more oversight; and the regrouping of Sunni Muslim extremist groups who want to undermine the government.Another Sunni lawmaker said, "The situation is very worrisome and there is nothing reassuring," he said. "The withdrawal from cities does not and should not mean that U.S. troops no longer have a responsibility over security. They still have obligations toward Iraq and its people."
...Shatha al-Ouboussi, a Sunni lawmaker, said extremists are likely stepping up attacks to make a statement on the eve of the June 30 deadline. "This is a message to everybody that the security situation can deteriorate as soon as the U.S. forces withdraw," he said. "They want to say that we are here and we are capable of carrying out attacks."
The Christian Science Monitor's Jane Arraf reports from Mosul, mentioning the violence, but focusing on the extent to which US forces are to withdraw on the 30th. The security agreement always left room for the Iraqi government to "request" the continued presence of US troops, and it appears they are doing that, though as far under the radar as possible.
Arraf gives some specifics on how this might work, and what some of the issues in Mosul are.
Under new rules which take effect on July 1, apart from cases of self-defense, US troops will likely have to clear the movement of military vehicles in advance with Iraqi authorities. The provincial governor says he has asked for a sign or other markings on US vehicles after July 1 to show residents that they are not on combat missions and decreed that movement of armored vehicles and equipment adhere to strict guidelines.He continued, "If they want to rebuild the Iraqis' trust, they have to treat them with respect," says Nujaifi, adding that heavy-handed treatment of the local population by US soldiers has tarnished the Americans' image here.
"I believe that June 30 should be the date in which the relationship between Iraq and the US is redrawn," Atheel Al Nujaifi, the governor of Ninevah province, says in an interview. "This relationship has to be built on respect between the United States and our citizens and that no force is used against our citizens."
The Christian Science Monitor also has piece by its editorial board, entitled "What Iraq Can Teach Iran". "The weakest reed in Iran's complex system of government has been the claim of a supreme leader with absolute political authority based on his Islamic credentials," says the editorial, and it explains some of Iran's internal debate over this issue, and the possibility of this one man rule changing.
That concept of a committee of clerics ruling Iran instead of a supreme leader may not be much of a step toward fuller democracy with a separation of religion and state. And it won't resolve the theological dispute over a supreme political leader among Shiites. But at the least, it is a small step toward the common Shiite notion of a small number of grand ayatollahs in the faith sticking to their role as simply givers of religious rulings and as models of good behavior.Iraq's Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani is held up as a highly influential Shi'a leader who has been supportive of Iraqi democracy, and brings the American leadership into the mix.
If he wants to send a subtle signal to Iranian dissidents, Mr. Obama could simply praise Sistani's calming, background role as the top ayatollah in helping Iraq's secular democracy. ...Obama has a chance to side with them now by siding with Sistani and the mainstream in Shiite Islam.Wall Street Journal, USA Today, no original Iraq coverage.

Cristiano Ronaldo Banned 1 Match for Yellow Card AccumulationJanuary 6, 2013
Cristiano Ronaldo has been accumulating goals at an impressive rate, but he has also been picking up yellow cards, and his high number of warnings will cause him to miss a match.
As Marca notes, Ronaldo picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga this season against Real Sociedad, and this will cause him to be sidelined for an accumulation of offenses for the first time in his Madrid career.
The Portuguese star will not be available for the team's league fixture against Osasuna next weekend.
In a strange coincidence, the suspension comes on the heels of Ronaldo's first time wearing the captain's armband in a competitive match, as noted in Marca's report.
Fortunately for Madrid, Osasuna is currently on the bottom of the La Liga table. Still, the team must be careful not to overlook the match, as it has suffered some surprising defeats already this season.
Losses to teams such as Sevilla and Getafe have put Madrid in an unfavorable position. Jose Mourinho's side is currently third in the table and trails Barcelona by a seemingly insurmountable 16 points.
In addition, the club needed two second-half goals from Ronaldo within two minutes in order to build enough of a cushion to beat Real Sociedad 4-3.
Playing without Ronaldo has a significant impact on the team, and although dropping points to a side bound for relegation is nearly unthinkable, the 27-year-old's absence certainly increases the chances for an upset.
Madrid needs every point it can get going forward in La Liga, and having its best player on the bench makes it that much harder to accomplish this. But in the end, the suspension could not have come at a better time.
