Updated 12:45 p.m. ET

Opposing Remarks: Pelosi And Jordan Give Their Parties' Opening Statements
For the second time in his presidency, the House is moving to impeach Donald Trump, who will become the first president in history to undergo such a rebuke.
Throughout Wednesday's debate, Democrats portrayed Trump as an ongoing threat to the country and democracy, while Republicans largely either defended the president or argued that the impeachment process would only cause further division.

Trump Won't Attend Inauguration; Congress Pushes Ahead With Capitol Ceremony
By Brian Naylor • Jan 8, 2021
When President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office on Jan. 20, a traditional element that once illustrated a peaceful transfer of power between presidential administrations will be missing: the outgoing president.
In a tweet Friday morning, President Trump said, "To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th."
Biden Says Capitol Attack Was 'Culmination' Of Trump's Assaults On Democracy
President-elect Joe Biden delivered a blistering rebuke of President Trump on Thursday, a day after a pro-Trump mob breached the U.S. Capitol.

Trump Downplays Insurrection But Tells Supporters To 'Go Home'
After a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, President Trump downplayed the violence of the day and repeated his fraudulent claim that the election was stolen, but he also urged them to "go home."
In a Wednesday evening tweet, Trump wrote: "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long."
Trump Calls on Pence To Reject Electoral Votes. Pence Says He Won't
President Trump, in an extraordinary speech as Congress prepared to certify Democrat Joe Biden's victory on Election Day, called on Vice President Pence to reject Biden's win and send the results back to the states, something Pence who is presiding over the joint session, has no constitutional authority to do.
Pence then issued a statement, saying he had no authority to do what Trump was asking him to do.
The dramatic developments in Washington played out on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Arizona challenge is being led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who is seen as a likely presidential candidate in the 2024 election, and Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.

New China billionaire drops US$2.8 billion as Pindoudou shares tumble
Bloomberg 14 March 2019
Pindoudou founded by Zheng Huang who started his career at Google.
(Bloomberg) — Zheng Huang, one of China's freshly minted billionaires saw his net worth plunge $2.8 billion after the e-commerce company he founded, Pinduoduo Inc., tumbled in U.S. trading on mounting losses.
The Shanghai-based company reported revenue leapt more than four fold during the quarter ended in December, but lost 2.4 billion yuan ($358 million) compared with a small profit a year earlier. PDD shares dropped 17 percent, the most since it went public last year. That cut the net worth of Huang to $13 billion from $15.8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Huang, a prolific entrepreneur who started his career at Google, founded PDD in 2015 as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and other existing e-commerce operators appeared to have a lock on the market. Yet he distinguished the startup by developing a mobile app with game-like characteristics and promoting group-buying discounts over social media like WeChat. PDD rapidly became China's third-largest online mall, behind Alibaba and JD.com Inc.
Now however, rivals are employing the same strategies of group discounts and expansion in smaller cities, backed by better established logistics networks and larger balance sheets. PDD's losses climbed as it spent more heavily on advertising and the technology needed to grow its e-commerce share.
"More and more players are looking at lower tier cities and they're also trying to mimic what PDD is currently doing. But I think the greater emphasis from the competitors actually is good for increasing the size of the pie," Huang said on a conference call with investors. "We can also see that our users are visiting more frequently and are spending more on our platform. This is a healthy indication that they are more pleased with what we offer."
PDD said it was in no hurry to monetize because it still needed to demonstrate the company's value to shoppers and merchants – a strategy that could impact its revenue in the near future. The company counts WeChat operator Tencent Holdings Ltd. as a major backer and has more than $3 billion in cash and equivalents on its balance sheet.
"We expect PDD's GMV and user growth to remain solid going forward," CICC analyst Natalie Wu said in a note to clients before the earnings. "Its unique value proposition and rich traffic hinder existing giants or new players to compete directly."
While China's economy is slowing, PDD's low-cost focus will help it win more customers as consumers tighten their belts, Wu said.
GMV, or the total value of goods transactions, rose three-fold to 471.6 billion yuan in the 12-month period ended December. The number of shoppers who used the app at least once in 2018 rose 71 percent to 418.5 million from 244.8 million in 2017.
On its earnings call, the company said those expenses were driven in large part by online and offline brand building, especially around Singles' Day and New Year's countdown opportunities. PDD spent 6.02 billion yuan on sales and marketing in the fourth quarter.
By comparison the much-larger Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. spent 12.1 billion yuan over the same period. VP of Finance Tian Xu said spending on sales and marketing in 2019 would be "opportunistic" rather than linked with any rise in gross merchandise volume and that it would take time for PDD to deepen its brand awareness.
"We will invest in order to achieve this goal," Xu said. PDD had 3.6 million merchants as of Dec. 31, 2018, up from 1 million merchants in March 2018.
The company's February fundraising effort brought in more than $1 billion.

The Lover Never Fails
Photo: ©Rita Willaert
Brad comes from a farming background in country south-west Victoria. He has a strong passion for the unreached people of the world and for spreading the truth of Jesus Christ. His wife Andy is an artist and a teacher and similarly holds Jesus' longing for the lost close to her heart. Together they have two vibrant children, Hunter and Belle. The Kirkwood family serve with SIM Australia in Niger, West Africa.
We live beside a public hospital. There are always many people strewn about under trees out the front, waiting for family inside. The morgue is also attached to the hospital. The average life expectancy here is 57 years compared to Australia's 83+.
If you are sick here you need to purchase the medicine you will be administered before it will be given. You need to pay up front for any tests or even to be seen by the doctor before it happens. No money, no doctor (or any medical care). Lots of people are just waiting because they don't have the money to see a doctor. They have come in from out of town, have phoned family and are waiting, hoping that someone will arrive having sold something to raise the money needed. It seems that for many, no one ever comes.
The old ute / pickup that is used to transport the mat wrapped bodies, the day after death, to the grave site, are often not accompanied by a single mourner. Life here is difficult and can end with little fanfare.
Yesterday I received a call from my friend, the man who sells us fruit. His eleven-year-old daughter was very ill, his wife was out of town at a wedding, and could I come in the car and pick them up because she needed to go to hospital.
When I arrived the girl was very sick. She had no strength. Her father carried her to the car and we drove to the hospital. We carried her in and took our place amongst the dozens of very sick people waiting to be seen. When we finally were seen we were sent to the paediatric area. There we found countless mothers trying to comfort very sick children. Some were limp. Others frantic with fever. There was one doctor.
When I say hospital, think of something from the 50's. Everything tired and tiled, very dirty, stray cats, not one piece of modern equipment, empty vials and used needles, bandages and IV drips scattered everywhere. When we were seen to, it was decided they needed to test for meningitis and malaria because of the fever. My friend went to pay the bill.
As I waited with the girl, the doctor motioned for me, amongst the other crying infants in the room to brace the girl because he was going to do a lumber punch. I knew what he was going to do because I had it done once in Australia. It was excruciatingly painful. It required cleanliness and precision, and yet here we were, in a crowded, dirty room, one doctor, and I, and he was about to stick a needle in her spine.
The process was extremely distressing. After several minutes no fluid could be extracted. He pressed the same alcohol soaked swab that he used to clean her skin, onto the area to stop the bleeding. I continued to brace a feverish and extremely distressed girl, a strange white man that she had met once, as she called over and over for her mother.
I prayed over the next hour for her that the fever would go. I prayed every way I knew. I prayed until I was emotionally spent. There was nothing else I could do.
Finally after many hours we were told that she had serious malaria. Reluctantly my friend asked if I had any money. The medicine was expensive. As much profit as he might see in several weeks from his business. I gave him what he needed and the medicine was administered. Many hours had passed. I was tired, hungry and thirsty, but how must he and his daughter be?
I was upset that night. Why had God not responded to my prayer? What could I do to help the mass of sick people? Why had God brought me here if not to bring his presence and change at a time such as this?
The next morning I went to see my friend. He told me that the fever had lifted. We went and visited his daughter. Her mother had returned and was by her side. His daughter was weak but the fever was gone. She just wanted to sleep.
When we returned to the street we met our other Muslim friend who had come looking for us. He chastised us for taking a shortcut through the morgue, much to the amusement of the friend I was with. As we sat and talked the second friend spoke up in English. He said, "We can see you are a man of God, you gave when there was nothing in it for you in return. You care for people who you hardly know. Only someone who truly knows God would do that. We thank you." It was a humbling statement and one I wasn't expecting.
I still struggle with the last couple of day's events. I still find it difficult to know that every day hundreds of people come to that hospital, many leaving no better than when they arrived. Many leaving in a mat in the back of ute. Certainly almost all leaving not knowing that there is a God who loves them, no matter what the outcome of their illness.
The small gift is to know that people see when you love them. They see the difference from the world around them. The profound thing is that even though my friends don't believe that God is love, when you love, they attribute it to knowing God.
May our God of love, continue to reveal Himself to those around us. Even though we are weak, He is strong. May His love spread through this land like a wildfire.

ZAHN, SPENCER
PEOPLE OF THE DAWN (DOUBLE DENIM)
People of the Dawn is the debut album from Spencer Zahn, bassist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer.
He has spent the last several years as an in-demand sideman and collaborator, touring and recording with artists from across a wide musical spectrum.
While traveling as a bassist and keyboard player, Zahn started recording synthesizer experiments in his off time.
These experiments - musical snapshots of cities all over the world - became the foundation of People of the Dawn, an album that seeks to merge the chaotic wisdom of jazz improvisation with the warm pulse of electronica.

To compete for customers and shelf space, water-bottle makers are adding all kinds of bells and whistles to this outdoor gear essential.
Many of these bottle innovations arrive at our door each week. Some stand out. Some leave us scratching our heads. Here are a few of this season's most interesting endeavors and innovations in water bottles.
The Mobot certainly looks weird. That's because the brand made this soft-sided "mobility" water bottle for drinking and rolling — your IT band, that is. The recycled stainless steel vessel is covered in bumpy, high-density EVA foam. Those scientifically placed nodules are designed to hit known trigger points that overworked muscles love (and hate).
Some color combos are downright gaudy. But putting two recovery aids in a single water bottle — hydration and elongation — is pretty smart. Plus a "quiet sip" flip straw lets you drink slowly rather than chug. Three sizes hold 18 to 40 ounces for $40-60.
Tricky to say without laughing, the Bübi bottle is a folding, puncture-resistant silicon water bottle that's also BPA free. It's an obvious pick for activities that demand saving space, like backpacking. The collapsible container even flips inside out for easy handwashing but can also go in the dishwasher (lower rack), microwave, and freezer.
Plus, a removable C-shaped carabineer makes attaching the bottle to a pack a snap, and also serves to secure an empty, fully rolled Bübi. The moldable, heat-resistant bottle comes in three sizes, with sport and flip caps for customization. A cup made of the same material screws right to the lid socket — for humans and canines. Now available for $17-30.
The Aquio is a water bottle with a detachable Bluetooth speaker. Like most modern canteens on the market, the Aquio is insulated with double-wall steel to keep hot or cold beverages in their preferred state for a long time.
The multitasking container holds 16.9 ounces of fluid, which won't hurt the waterproof, sandproof speaker if you spill on it. My kid tested that straight away.
If you take the speaker bottle around a campfire or another outdoor setting, you've got about eight hours before you need a recharge. The Aquio is available now for $70.
Inspired by nature, the minimalist Purist bottle is designed to do one thing well: preserve taste. After all, when hydration receptacles get too quirky, it's easy to forget their purpose, which is to hydrate humans.
Using a process called the "lotus effect," the brand transforms silicon dioxide into an aftertaste-less glass interior. That prevents water from tasting like metal, plastic, or whatever else was left behind after that last cleaning attempt.
Purist bottles come in 10- to 32-ounce sizes, along with four appropriately modern color choices: bare, black, ash, and bone. Three lid styles — jar, pour, and 360-degree — can further customize the sip. Available in October for $34-52.


Shockingly, I had never been to an In-N-Out. Until today.
There are many reasons to love this legendary, California-based fast food burger chain.
They have been family owned since 1948. They've paid their workers higher than minimum wage, with medical benefits, for at least fifteen years. They have a commitment to fresh and natural ingredients. These were the reasons they were one of only a few chain restaurants praised in the book Fast Food Nation.
The chain was one of the first to feature a secret menu (now officially called "not so secret" on their website), and their "animal style" burgers and fries are among their most sought after choices.
None of this would be possible if the food did not measure up to the hype.
But In-N-Out's commitment to freshness and quality shines in its food.
Yes, it's ultimately a fast food burger; and poesy aside, there's nothing unique about the product: burgers with lettuce, tomato, and a sweet pink "spread" (Thousand-Island-like), with an option for fresh or grilled onions.
Ordering "Animal Style" gets you a burger cooked with a layer of mustard, grilled onions, pickles and extra spread. Animal style fries are served with two slices of melted cheese, spread and grilled onions.
A HuffPost author notes how everything is handpicked (lettuce), handsliced (tomatoes) and fresh baked in store each day (buns).
Gordon Ramsay called them "extraordinary," admitting to surreptitiously ordering a second double cheeseburger through the drive-thru after finishing his first one inside.
So when I went to Los Angeles for a conference, I decided I had to finally try In-N-Out. There was only one problem: the downtown location of the restaurant has closed and the nearest one was six miles away. That translates to nearly an hour in LA traffic and I didn't have a car. What to do?
I schemed. I had enough time between the end of the seminar and my flight, and learned there was a location less than a mile from the airport. But it was not advisable to walk there, along freeway ramps and other non-pedestrian friendly challenges.
Enter another not-so-secret hack: the airport's In-N-Out is right next to a long term parking garage. While you're not supposed to, apparently it's all the rage to ride the free shuttle from the airport to the In-N-Out — er, I mean the parking garage — and then back. It's considered wise to generously tip the driver so as not to raise any questions. Which is exactly what I did.
The burger was excellent. It tasted fresh and clean, bursting with gooey goodness that had me picking the crumbs off my tray.
I should note I had my burger "Pittsburgh Style," which is not a secret In-N-Out menu item but something we 'Burghers do —spread a layer of French fries right on the sandwich. Perhaps this is something In-N-Out should adopt, at least if they ever get as far east as my home town.
In the meantime, I've checked one more thing off my culinary bucket list. All for $9.10, and a free hat to boot.

CELTICS NOTEBOOK: Next up is a Saturday night date with the Warriors
Jim Fenton The Enterprise @JFenton_ent
The Celtics, winners of five straight games and 10 consecutive games at home, will host the two-time championship on national television.
BOSTON – For only the second time since mid-December, the Celtics have two days off in between games.
Given who their next opponent is, the break will come in handy since the two-time champion Golden State Warriors visit the TD Garden on Saturday night.
The Celtics, who are on a five-game winning streak after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers, 123-103, on Wednesday night, know they will be playing in a postseason atmosphere when Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and the Warriors arrive for a national television matchup.
"We're not backing down from any challenges,'' said Jaylen Brown after scoring 23 points against the Cavs. "We're going to come out and play Celtics basketball and try to take the fight to them. Saturday night will be a great challenge.''
In addition to winning five straight games, the Celtics have 10 straight victories at the Garden dating to Dec. 23. They are averaging 118.9 points in those games and have won by an average of 14.8 points.
So coach Brad Stevens was asked if this might be an ideal time to take on the Warriors (33-14).
"Have you seen them play recently? I don't know anybody in the league should say it's an ideal time to play them,'' answered Stevens. "We're not as good as we want to be, but we don't expect to be as good as we want to be yet. We'll find out more about ourselves on Saturday night.
"We've got a great test on Saturday and we'll learn more about us.''
Stevens gave the Celtics the day off today, and they will be at the Auerbach Center for practice on Friday afternoon to prepare for the Warriors, winners of three of the last four titles.
"That's a big one to get 11 in a row (at home),'' said Terry Rozier after scoring a season-best 26 points. "We know how big this game is. We'll get our rest and come prepared to play.''
Irving to be a star: Kyrie Irving is expected to be chosen to play in his sixth NBA All-Star Game when the 10 starters are announced at 7 tonight on TNT.
Irving was the runaway leader in the balloting for the Eastern Conference guards at the last checkpoint with 3,187,015 votes, ahead of Dwyane Wade (1,738,043). The two top vote getters, likely LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, will be the captains and pick the two teams for the Feb. 17 game in Charlotte, N.C.
Marcus Morris has been making a pitch to take part in the 3-point shooting contest. Morris began Wednesday night ranked 10th in the NBA at 43 percent.
"He should be in it,'' said Stevens. "I don't think there's any doubt. He's shooting great. He deserves it. He makes tough ones. He makes them a bunch of different ways. I think it'd be great if he got a chance to participate in it. It'd be fun.''
Cavs in rebuild: After making it to the NBA Finals four straight years and winning the title in 2016, the Cavaliers (9-40) have the worst record in the league. They have, as expected, gone from the top to the bottom after losing LeBron James to free agency.
"It's a huge change,'' said Larry Drew, who became the head coach when Tyronn Lue was fired following a 0-6 start in October. "When you go from being a team that's been at the top for the last four years and then you go through the rebuild, it's a drastic change.
"It's not only tough from a coaching standpoint, but just tough on veteran players, players who have had success they've had over the years here and you start to go through the rebuild. It's not an easy thing to go through, but I commend all of our guys for taking the challenge, particularly our veteran guys because it's not an easy thing to do.''
Kevin Love is out after undergoing foot surgery, Tristan Thompson is sidelined with a left foot injury and an unhappy J.R. Smith is not playing after asking for a trade.
Around the rim: The Cavaliers starting center was Ante Zizic, drafted No. 23 by the Celtics in 2016. Zizic, who was part of the Kyrie Irving-Isaiah Thomas trade, had 19 points and eight rebounds. "You always watch the guys you traded with a closer eye and even though I didn't get to spend much time with Ante, I'm really happy to see him doing well,'' said Stevens. ... With both Al Horford (rest) and Irving (flu) out, Stevens used his 16th different starting lineup, inserting Aron Baynes and Rozier. … Because of a scoring mistake in the fourth quarter, the final score was changed after the game, taking two points that had incorrectly been credited to Jayson Tatum away from the Celtics.

How to Set Goals for an Executive Assistant
by Kimberlee Leonard; Reviewed by Michelle Seidel, B.Sc., LL.B., MBA; Updated February 01, 2019
1 What Is a Staffing Assistant?
2 The Most Important Factors When Judging Staff Performance
3 Write Performance-Based Evaluations
4 List of Attributes Used on Employee Performance Reviews
A good executive assistant is worth every penny an employer spends on wages and benefits. A poor executive assistant is not only a burden on the payroll, but also becomes a source of stress for the executive, who needs someone to help organize daily activities, and to be a liaison between clients and other staff. Setting goals for an executive assistant helps the executive determine if the job is done well and also defines areas for improvement. Keep goals objective and measurable.
Setting the Standard with a Job Description
The job description sets the standard for all goals for the executive assistant. This includes all requirements to being punctual to being able to juggle various tasks simultaneously. All executive assistants should be well-versed in basic office programs but they may also need to have additional training in the proprietary software the office uses.
An executive needs an executive assistant who has exceptional communications skills; who can speak with other company leaders; and who can also speak and interact well with subordinates, prospects or potential partners. The job description sets the standards to develop measurable components.
Setting and Evaluating Metrics
It is difficult for supervisor to determine if an executive assistant performs at the expected level, above or below expectations simply by looking at the job description. Review the job description and set the standard for a middle-ground performance. Speak with other executives to get an idea of what constitutes "normal performance."
For example, attention to detail is an important skill employers can measure in reports that discuss accuracy or in details about email or other messaging techniques. An executive assistant who is always transposing phone numbers will not help the executive in this metric. Other metrics include whether the assistant meets or misses deadlines, if the assistant clears the daily tasks and if the assistant responds to clients and partners in a timely manner.
Feedback From Executive Assistants
Getting feedback from an employee any time you are setting goals is valuable. It invests the employee in job development, and points out any positives and negatives in that employee's performance, allowing that employee to set individual standards for improvement and development. This provides insights to executives, who might not be aware of details seen only by the person performing the job.
Take the time to have the employee do a self-evaluation that mimics the same performance metrics an evaluating manager uses. Then ask for goals and any potential plans for improvement.
Set the Goals and Action Plan
With the information that was gathered by reviewing the job description, metrics evaluation and self-evaluation, determine the next set of goals. Note the time frame for the goals, such as the next quarter or next fiscal year. In areas in which the performance meets or exceeds expectations, the goal should be to reach that same level of excellence. Establish two to three areas where the employee can set improvement and development goals.
One such goal might include taking a college-level statistics class to gain a greater understanding of the data needed in reports and how to effectively relay information. Remember that all goals need to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely.

The Jobless One
As Chelsea part company with Jose Mourinho, Jack Davies asks whether it's the right decision
Monday 21 Dec 2015 Jack Davies
Image: In Mou We Trust
So it has happened. Roman Abramovich and the rest of the board at Chelsea Football Club have elected to sack Jose Mourinho after a Premier League slump that has seen the London club fall to 16th in the Barclays Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone.
Mourinho's sacking has come just seven months after the Portuguese guided Chelsea to a first league title in five years, in a season that also saw them lift the League Cup. Chelsea's struggles this season in the league have been well documented, with the opening four months of the season seeing the Blues muster the worst defence of a title in Premier League history.
There was scandal surrounding the sacking of club doctor Eva Carneiro, which has spawned an imminent lawsuit, and Mourinho's side have suffered damaging defeats on the road to Everton, Leicester and West Ham, as well as at Stamford Bridge against the likes of Southampton and newly-promoted minnows Bournemouth.
However, even considering this terrible form, the news of Mourinho's departure from his second spell at Stamford Bridge has sent shockwaves through the world of sport, and this suggests that a large number of people may be thinking the same thing: it could be the wrong decision.
Maybe the surprise at his sacking is unjustified; no one can exaggerate just how awful Chelsea's form has been this season. And Abramovich does have form for being somewhat trigger happy in his employment and dismissal of managers - the Russian tycoon has been through 10 different managers in 12 years since becoming Chelsea owner in 2003.
But this is Jose Mourinho, two time Champions League winner, a man considered one of the best managers on the planet and, Chelsea should take care to remember, the most successful manager in their history with 8 major trophies.
It feels, especially regarding that latter fact, that the club owed it to Mourinho a little more time to try and save Chelsea's season. This is certainly an opinion shared by the majority of the club's fans on social media, whose reaction to the board's decision to dismiss The Special One has been overwhelmingly negative.
One fan commented "this is like a death in the family", when another simply summed up their feelings with one, capitalised word: "DISGUSTED".
Abramovich must surely have understood how well-loved Mourinho is at Stamford Bridge, and this decision could well lead to resentment and disillusionment within the supporters.
Much has been said about the players at Chelsea simply refusing to play for their former manager, thereby causing the terrible results that they have suffered in the early part of this season. Pundits and supporters alike have criticised the amount of influence the players are afforded at the club, with one fan stating on Twitter "player power wins again at Chelsea FC, we really are a terribly run club".
This highlights how the sacking of Mourinho could well have caused the issues regarding the organisational aspects of the club to be brought under the microscope. Abramovich could have a mutiny on his hands if the fans continue to feel so aggrieved by the firing of their iconic former manager.
However, it must also be noted that a manager's job is to unite the players and get them playing for him. Mourinho has failed for the past four months to do this. Even if Chelsea's abhorrent form is down to the players not wanting to play for the manager, it could be argued that it is Mourinho's responsibility to ensure that his squad is motivated to go out and give their best for the club. Look at it in this light, and you can perhaps see more of the justification behind Abramovich's decision.
Arsenal fans in particular have certainly been revelling in the Chelsea owner's resolution to get rid of Mourinho, with a flurry of delighted comments appearing on social media. Any Gunners out there might want to keep their heads down a bit more; in the time since Arsenal last won a league title, Jose Mourinho won the league twice with Chelsea, went away and won numerous league titles with Inter Milan in Italy and Real Madrid in Spain, as well as the Champions League, then came back to Chelsea and won the league with them again. Something tells me he won't remain unemployed for long.
And it's this that means sacking Mourinho could be possibly the worst thing Abramovich ever could have done. The chances of Mourinho ever managing another English team aside from Chelsea prior to this were minimal; he would never have wanted to betray the club he loves. But now that they have treated him like this, he may reconsider. The thought of him managing one of Chelsea's rivals, such as Manchester United (for whom he is currently odds-on bookies' favourite to be the next manager of), Manchester City or even Arsenal, would be extremely hard to stomach for any Blues fan.
Given Mourinho's calibre as a coach, there would be every possibility that he could succeed consistently at any of the aforementioned clubs, potentially leaving Chelsea trophy-less and out in the cold. Getting rid of him in this manner has opened the door for Mourinho to go and make one of Chelsea's rivals bigger and even more dangerous.
And then there is the question of who else Chelsea could bring in. The only man usually uttered in the same breath as Mourinho in regard to top class managers is Pep Guardiola, who admittedly has announced he will be leaving Bayern Munich in the summer.
However, Chelsea will face stern competition from the two Manchester clubs if they want to secure his services. And even if they do, what's to say he could do a better job than Mourinho with a set of players that are clearly highly temperamental and far too willing to lose faith in their manager?
I can't help but feel that Chelsea should have given Mourinho until next season. Yes, their recent form has been dreadful, but the likelihood of Mourinho leading them to relegation still seemed minimal. Chelsea still managed to top their group in the Champions League, and the kind of ability Mourinho has exhibited throughout his managerial career does not just vanish in such a short time.
The most resonant point surrounding his dismissal, I think, is as follows: it won't be long before Jose Mourinho finds himself employed at a club of equal to or greater stature than Chelsea FC, but it could be a long, long time before Chelsea FC find themselves with a manager as gifted as Jose Mourinho.

Oxford's cycle routes form a dual network. The main routes follow normal traffic corridors. There are quite a lot of cycle lanes, traffic is not too bad, the junctions are OK, but take care around buses. The quiet routes avoid the traffic (mostly). They aren't always well-signposted, but you can see them on the new Oxford Bus and Cycle Map.
An alternative view of the routes can be seen on OpenStreetMap. This covers the whole world, focusing on marked cycle routes in the countryside.
Using the same OpenStreetMap data, this Journey Planner, will work out a route for you.
Printed copies of the cycle map are available from Cyclox (at our meetings and stalls), or from Walton Street Cycles and other bike shops. You may also still find copies of the County Council cycle map, though it's out of date, and not as clear. The County Council bus map and central bus stop guide are much more up to date.

Applications are due in February for the upcoming fall or full year and in October for the spring term. If you are considering a full year abroad in two locations (split year), you must submit application materials for both programs at the deadline for the first program.
To facilitate the transfer of credit from courses taken abroad back to Georgetown, you must declare all of your intended majors prior to submitting your study abroad application. We also encourage you to declare minors and certificates, but there is flexibility with these.
With some exceptions for competitive programs, if you are applying to semester and full-year programs, you should have a cumulative GPA of 3.0.* If you are applying to GU summer programs, you should have a cumulative GPA of 2.7, unless the program requires a higher GPA. Additional program requirements can be found on each program's webpage.
*If your GPA is currently below a 3.0 you are encouraged to speak with an OGE advisor early in the process to learn about options for semester study abroad and to inquire about the Eligibility Addendum form (see below).
Applicants are expected to be in good standing at Georgetown University or their home university. To remain in good standing, a student must maintain a strong, consistent academic record, meet the academic standards set forth by the University and exhibit a history of good citizenship and student conduct. Students are not eligible to participate in a study abroad program while on active academic, housing, or disciplinary probation. Less severe sanctions may also result in loss of eligibility, at the discretion of Georgetown and the Office of Global Education. For full consideration, students should complete all assigned sanctions prior to submitting an application, and must be in good standing in order to study abroad.
It is important to remember that all nominations are inherently conditional. A significant decline in academic performance or a disciplinary sanction prior to departure may render a student ineligible for study abroad. This is true even if the student has already received a nomination from Georgetown or formal acceptance from an overseas institution.
If a student does not meet one or more of the requirements set forth in the program brochure, he/she may submit an Eligibility Addendum Form (EAF) to provide more information for the selection committee. This form is available after the mandatory advising appointment from an OGE regional advisor.
Students should begin the advising and application process early if they intend to submit an EAF. Students are also strongly encouraged to review their written EAF proposal with their curricular dean for input and advice. Submission of this form does not guarantee approval for study abroad. This process does not apply to any program with a GPA requirement higher than the institutional minimum.
Your Statement of Academic Intent should effectively communicate your academic goals for study abroad and how your chosen program will help you achieve such goals.
What is the selection committee looking for?
The statement of academic intent is of central importance to the selection committee and it merits careful thought and preparation. This is your primary opportunity to demonstrate that you have a compelling academic rationale for studying abroad.
Provide examples to support your statement.
What specific components of the education abroad program to which you are applying make it the best fit for you?
How are the country and language of this study abroad program relevant to your goals?
How have your courses and/or experiences prepared you for the program?
How do you think your study abroad experience will benefit you personally and professionally?
Your statement of academic intent will be shared with your OGE advisor and your dean. In many cases, your essay will also be given to your host institution. The Selection Committee reserves the right to reject or return applications which, in our judgment, contain incomplete or insensitive answers.
Who will approve my classes?
The Study Proposal is the document which you use to familiarize yourself with the curriculum of the program to which you are applying and to outline, in consultation with your dean and (if applicable) departmental advisors, the parameters within which you plan to take courses abroad. The details outlined on the form will allow you to see how the coursework you select to take abroad may transfer back to Georgetown. OGE will provide assistance in finding the coursework for the program that you choose, but ultimately the academic advising staff and faculty of your school will approve or disapprove your proposed coursework. Therefore, you will want to make sure you read the following tips carefully.
Please note that OGE cannot approve study abroad coursework. All approvals must be obtained from the appropriate academic advising staff and faculty in your school.
Students in the College can consult their academic department's protocol for transferring credits from study abroad.
"What is academically appropriate" coursework?
Has the applicant chosen courses that are compatible with the guidelines given by OGE?
Does the coursework allow for progression in major/minor requirements?
Does the applicant possess the background and requisite knowledge for the chosen coursework?
Do the courses selected fulfill the full-time course load requirements?
Has the applicant selected enough alternate options in case some of the courses are not available?
Schedule the meetings necessary for course approval well before the application deadline and bring the appropriate documentation to assist those who will be reviewing your academic plan.
In some cases, those reviewing your Study Proposal may ask for additional documentation regarding the classes you have selected. For this reason it's important to schedule your Study Proposal meetings well before the deadline in case follow up is required.
Supplemental information can often be helpful to those reviewing your Study Proposal too. If they are available, consider bringing course descriptions and/or syllabi to your meeting(s). That way if questions about the classes arise, you'll have more than just a course title to work from to resolve any outstanding issues.
General Faculty Recommendation: Who should you ask?
Most programs will require that you submit one general faculty recommendation, while some will require two. The recommendation should come from a professor who has taught you. As all programs have different requirements, please discuss your recommender choice with your OGE advisor, as he/she will be able to offer advice on the best choice of recommender(s) for your specific program. The best letters will come from people who know you well and who can provide detailed comments about your academic work, and who can speak to how well-suited you are for the study abroad program you have selected.
Language Assessment : Who should you ask?
The Language Assessment is not a recommendation, but rather an assessment meant to gauge your linguistic and cultural preparedness to function effectively abroad. This assessment should not be confused with the language evaluation (or exam) that some departments administer during the application process. The Language Assessment will ask your instructor to evaluate your linguistic preparedness in all competencies (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) as they pertain to your intended program.
You should seek a language assessment from your most recent language instructor, as he/she can most accurately assess your current skills as part of the application process. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the language requirements of your desired program so that you can share them with your instructor. You may not ask the same person to write both a general recommendation and a language assessment for you. If a significant amount of time has passed (i.e., more than a semester) since you took a language class, your instructor may want to briefly interview you or give you a written assignment to evaluate your current skills. This step is at the instructor's discrection.
If you have not taken a language course at Georgetown, you should contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) of the appropriate language department. If applying to a GU summer program, you should contact the faculty director of that program. In either event, the DUS or the faculty director will review your case and determine how to assess your language skills appropriately.
What does OGE ask the recommender?
What course(s) did the student take with you and in what term(s)?
In what term was the course taken?
Please provide a candid evaluation of the student's performance in your course. Please comment on the student's motivation and his/her academic strengths and weaknesses.
Please comment on the quality of the work the student prepared for your course.
Study abroad requires that a student be self-reliant and mature in order to successfully navigate a foreign and unfamiliar environment. Additionally, the student may be part of a program in which the structure differs from that of a typical US college/university. Is this student self-reliant and mature enough to perform well in a foreign and unfamiliar environment?
Imagine that you are the faculty director of a study abroad program. Would you want this student to participate on your program? Please include comments on the student's maturity level, independence, self-motivation, and discipline.
We recommend that, when possible, you contact your recommender at least four weeks prior to your program's application deadline to ask if they would be willing to write a recommendation for you. Consider stopping by your recommender's office hours to discuss the recommendation, as well as your plans for study abroad.
We suggest that you provide your recommender with a resume and/or a copy of your statement of academic intent to provide an overview of your activities, experiences and academic goals. This will give your recommender a better understanding of why you have chosen your particular program. This is particularly critical if you do not have a well-established relationship with the recommender.
Once the recommendation has been submitted, write a quick thank-you note to acknowledge the time the recommender has taken to assist you.
When you open an online application, you will see a section titled "Recommendations". Below that, click "Request Electronic Recommendation".
Use the keywords box to enter the last name or GU NetID of your recommender. The system is linked to the Georgetown directory and will automatically locate the contact information for GU faculty. In order to prevent technical issues, please always use the Georgetown email address of the recommender (not a personal email address) when making your request. Click "Next" when you have selected your recommender.
Fill in the course(s) you have taken with the faculty member, and add any relevant notes under "Additional Information".
Select whether or not to waive your right to read the recommendation after it is completed.
Click save, which will email the request to the recommender.
The recommender will complete and submit the form online. Your application will display a check mark when the recommendation has been received by OGE.
I need to resend my recommendation form. How do I do that?
Most programs do not require students to have a back-up application, and it is therefore only possible to apply for a back-up program after discussing it with your OGE advisor. Your OGE advisor will be able to give you advice on appropriate back-up options. Back-up applications will require many of the same materials as primary choice applications, including the Study Proposal. You are responsible for completing all necessary materials for both applications. Please note that if you are nominated to your first choice, your back-up application will not be considered.
A split year is defined as a full year of study abroad with a different program each semester. Students should discuss the feasibility of their intentions with the OGE advisors for BOTH programs before submitting application materials for each program. Visa timelines and regulations may preclude certain split year combinations. In addition to a Statement of Academic Intent for each program, you are also required to write a Split Year Statement in which you will outline how studying at two different locations will support your academic plans and strengthen your background in a chosen field or fields.
In rare cases, a student may have a particular academic need that is not served by the OGE approved programs. In this case, a student may apply to a program that is not on the approved list; this is an Independent Petition. Students choosing to complete an Independent Petition must go through the regular application process but will have additional submissions as part of their application, including the Independent Petition application form and the Independent Petition Budget. Please note that Independent Petition applicants should have a higher level of independence and maturity, as often they are participating on a program with whom Georgetown does not have an established relationship.

More than two thirds of French people are in favour of shops opening on Sundays, as long as they don't have to do the work themselves, according to a new opinion poll.
Sixty-eight percent of respondents to the Odoxa poll, appearing in Le Parisien newspaper on Sunday, said they were in favour of Sunday trading while 31 percent disapproved.
But when asked whether they would like to regularly work Sundays, 53 percent said no, with most saying they thought of the day as a time to spend with family.
In July the French parliament voted to adopt a package of economic reforms, easing the rules on Sunday working.
The legislative package provoked anger on the street, sparking the rare sight of white-collar workers such as notaries and pharmacists marching to demand the bill be shelved.
One of the key planks of the package allows shops in certain tourist zones -- notably the Champs Elysees in Paris -- to open every Sunday of the year.
In the opinion poll, 57 percent of respondents said that the new employment laws constituted social progress. However around three quarters of those questioned said the move "reinforces the consumer society" and makes Sunday less special.
Most also thought the new rules mean added pressures on employees.
The polling of 1,002 people was carried out on November 12-13.


I spent a good portion of the day looking at fabrics for two separate projects. Both require outdoor fabrics. One because of kids and dogs (soil, stains). The other because they live on the water and sun is an issue (fading). It is so exciting when you can find beautiful fabrics that can be used inside and don't scream "outdoors". Like the Hearst Castle Collection from Pindler and Pindler.
2645 Pastiglia Hearst Castle Outdoor Collection from Pindler and Pindler. Retails for $180.
I agree with you on outdoor fabrics. Perfect for kids and pets, not just outdoors!
Yes! I am 100% with you! People should use outdoor fabrics more often. I think they're more durable and perfect with little ones!
PS: I need to have the courage to post a picture of my little belly! :-) I'll try soon.
Wow. That is beautiful! I love that fabric.
Oh yeah I definitely agree with you, that's one pretty (and functional) fabric!


This Saturday the whole family, including Megan as the flower girl, attended a dear friend's wedding. When we arrived at the venue we were seated outside in a circular courtyard surrounded by columns. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony and the marriage itself (although in Chinese) was splendid. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching (and photographing) this beautiful wedding!
While there Jessie and I also took the opportunity to snap a few shots of each other.
Above is a little video of the wedding!
Here are some photos that I found in my iphoto from random vacations we took in the past few years. It was funny how many emotions and memories went through my head when I looked through these (if you are in need of a sentimental trip to the past just pull out those photo albums and start flipping!). My first response is to cringe when I see some of these, happiness and amusement come next, then of course sadness over some (missing Michael)! I feel like everyone should take 20 minutes out of their lives to reminisce over old pictures every once in a while. Hope you enjoy… one of my personel favorites is at the bottom right taken on Michaels 18th Birthday.
