FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) - Ever since Carroll senior Drue Tranquill picked up a football scholarship from the University of Notre Dame, so many wondered if he would switch his commitment from Purdue University to the Fighting Irish.
Tranquill switched his verbal commitment to Notre Dame on Tuesday, ending months of speculation while disappointing the Boilermakers.
"It's been a tough three months," Tranquill says. "I've been praying a lot about it, talking to my parents, my brother, Coach Dinan, Mike Ledo; and it's been extremely difficult, because both schools are great universities."
21Alive sports director Tommy Schoegler sat down with Tranquill on Tuesday to discuss his decision. Click on the video icon to see the exclusive interview.

SolSource 3-in-1
Revision as of 16:57, July 31, 2012 by Tom Sponheim (Talk | contribs)
this wiki
The SolSource 3-in-1 is a combination solar cooker, heater, and electricity generator under development by One Earth Designs (OED), a social enterprise based in Boston, USA, and Xining and Hong Kong, China.
The device enables rural communities to harness the sun's energy for portable solar cooking and supports the use of heating and electricity generation modules as well. High-temperature parabolic solar cookers are currently available and used in Himalayan communities, however, they are often made out of mirror-lined concrete shells that are extremely heavy, fragile, and do not stand up to the harsh weather and climate of western China. Many nomadic villagers shared with OED a desire for parabolic solar cookers that are portable enough to be taken into the fields while working or tending livestock, but sturdy enough to withstand the harsh winds of the Tibetan Plateau. Along with student teams from Wellesley College, Harvard, MIT, and Qinghai Normal University, OED worked with rural communities in the Himalayan region to design the SolSource 3-in-1 according to local needs and with local materials when feasible.
The reflective component of the SolSource 3-in-1 is a lightweight, collapsible parabolic shell comprised of metallized plastic panels. This shell is supported by a detachable tripod which can be staked to the ground to prevent the cooker from blowing over. Cooking, heating, and electricity generation is possible by placing different modules on the potstand (and therefore at the reflector's focal point). It can be dismantled as quickly as a hiking tent and transported from home to field for the mid-day meal.
The first module, based on standard pots, cooks food and pasteurizes water. The cooker's high focal temperature enables traditional cooking that relies primarily on stir-frying and boiling water for tea and tsampa. A second module, still in development, will generate up to 20 watts of thermo-electricity. A third module, also in development, collects and stores heat for later use in the home.
As biomass fuels are phased out, sanitation from excess animal excrement is a potential health concern. Methane recapture for electricity generation would be an ideal solution, however, low temperatures in high altitude regions currently prevent its widespread use. Biomass gasification is another option but has not previously been explored in Qinghai. Although clean biomass energy is not feasible at this stage in the project, our household solar heating system is built for easy modification in order to maintain optimum temperatures in a household digester and we hope to address this aspect in future project phases.
Recent news and developments
- February 2011: A photo of a recent version of the SolSource 3-in-1 parabolic cooker.
- February 2011: A team led by inventor Scot Frank has landed a spot in an entrepreneurial boot camp hosted by a group called the Unreasonable Institute. With the help of sixty world-class investors and entrepreneurs at this summer's institute in Boulder, Colo., Frank hopes to bring the Sol-Source 3-in-1 stove to a mass market. Worldwide, pollution from combustion stoves used indoors sickens and kills more than 1 million every year. Many victims are children. More Information...
- September, 2010: The SolSource solar oven wins 500K EU in the Green Challenge. Once again the SolSource 3-in-1 has impressed the jury, and won the Dutch, Postcode Lottery Green Challenge. The Postcode Lottery Green Challenge award is a startup competition run by the Dutch Postcode Lottery with 500,000 EU ($666,200 US) up for grabs for the winner and 200,000 EU ($260,500 US) for the runner-up. All entries must have the potential to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in a measurable fashion. From an impressive field of young entrepreneurs, the jury chose 25-year old Scot Frank of One Earth Designs as the winner for his company's SolSource solar oven. The SolSource 3-in-1 combination is a solar cooker, heater, and electricity generator. It was inspired by the time Frabj spent in the Himalayas (the product has been tested there for 3 years), where women spend many hours a day collecting dung and wood fuels for cooking and heating. This process leads to deforestation, and many tribes in the Himalayas are rapidly running out of their traditional fuel sources. Families also breathe toxic indoor air pollution from the fire. Indoor air pollution is one of the world's biggest killers of children under five, claiming 1.6 million lives per year. More Information...

RZA becomes a director with The Man with the Iron Fists
By Demetairs Bell
Contributing Writer
Wearing the triple crown in his feature film debut as a director, co-writer and leading man, RZA, the founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, gives you The Man with the Iron Fists, a movie he describes as "an action-packed adventure about brotherhood and loyalty." He also says, "There's humor and drama in the film."
Those that have followed RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan know he's a fan of kung fu films, he told me some of his favorites include Godfather of Hong Kong, Fists of Double K and Five Deadly Venoms. As a music producer for the Wu-Tang Clan he mixed in sound effects from kung fu films creating his groundbreaking signature sound. The Man with the Iron Fists is a story of warriors, assassins and a lone hero whose paths collide in a village in China where they battle for a fortune in gold and to win the heart of a love interest. Calling this project "a dream come true," RZA stated this was something he has been determined to get out to moviegoers for quite a while. He began his film career acting in the 1999 cult classic Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. RZA has had a number of supporting roles over the years, most notably as a detective in American Gangster opposite Denzel Washington. Continue Reading →

December 10, 2013
The Rev. Columba Stewart, OSB, executive director of the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library, and his team are returning to Bamako, Mali, where he and his team will set up two digitizing studios and conduct training sessions for local librarians who will begin digitizing thousands of historic manuscripts that were smuggled out of Timbuktu earlier this year.
The flight of these manuscripts was driven by radical Islamist invaders, who threatened to destroy works they considered to be in conflict with strict Islamic teachings. During their 10-month occupation of Timbuktu, the rebels carried out a campaign of assault on the city's historic monuments, shrines and religious sites.
In January, as they left the city, they ransacked the Ahmed Baba Institute of Higher Learning and Islamic Research, hoping to destroy manuscripts dating back to the 13th century. However, once French-led soldiers regained control of the city, scholars determined that no more than 2,000 of about 300,000 documents had been destroyed. Thanks to the efforts of some very dedicated guardians who have cared for the city's 300,000-plus ancient documents for centuries, the majority of the collections had been secretly hidden in a safe location.
Now, these manuscripts sit in lockers in the humid climate of Bamako, not the dry, desert climate of Timbuktu, the ancient town more than 400 miles northeast on the River Niger that sat at the heart of African trade routes for more than 1,000 years.
"Because these already fragile documents are being stored in metal lockers in Bamako's humidity, they are vulnerable to mildew and mold," Stewart said. "It's imperative that they are digitally preserved before further environmental damage, or before looters sell them to collectors or the black market.
"The collections originate from Africa and the Middle East and include Islamic religious texts as well as many secular works of astronomy, medicine, commerce, diplomatic relations and Arabic linguistics" Stewart said. "By digitally preserving the manuscripts, we can provide a quality surrogate of the originals, and for the first time in the world's history, give international researchers and scholars direct access to these rich collections."
This is Stewart's second trip to Mali. In July, he was invited to Bamako by SAVAMA-DCI, the Malian non-governmental organization that had organized the rescue. The contact with SAVAMA-DCI had been made through the Prince Claus Fund, a project sponsored by the Dutch government for cultural support, including emergency relief. While there, Stewart and HMML field director Walid Mourad installed a digitization studio and conducted a three-day training session for local librarians.
In October, Stewart signed a contract with the Mali Minister of Culture to coordinate the digitization of the Timbuktu manuscripts. Now, Stewart and his team will set up two more digitization studios and train more local technicians. Through the course of the project, HMML assumes all responsibility for sustaining the digital image collections into the future with no financial obligation from Timbuktu's libraries. HMML is receiving funding for the ambitious digitization project from the Arcadia Fund of London.
The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library's mission is to identify, digitally photograph, catalog and archive endangered manuscripts belonging to threatened communities around the world. Having formed partnerships with over 540 libraries and archives, HMML has photographically preserved over 140,000 medieval, renaissance and early-modern manuscripts from Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India.
HMML is currently preserving manuscript collections at sites in Lebanon, Iraq, the Old City of Jerusalem, Turkey, India, Ethiopia, Mali and Malta. These resources, available through HMML's online catalog, OLIVER, and image database, Vivarium, have become essential tools for global manuscript research. HMML is also the home of The Saint John's Bible.

If the firearm has interchangeable barrels, remove the barrel and clean as previously indicated. If the firearm cannot be cleaned from the breech as with the lever-action firearm, you will have to clean it from the muzzle end. You can place a patch or a thin cloth in the action so that residue does not fall into the trigger and safety assemblies.
While cleaning a firearm, be sure to inspect it for loose screws or any signs of damage. If the firearm has been damaged or is not working properly, take it to a qualified gunsmith for inspection and repair if needed.

An atrial myxoma is a noncancerous tumor in the upper left or right side of the heart. It most often grows on the wall that separates the two sides of the heart. This wall is called the atrial septum.
A myxoma is a primary heart (cardiac) tumor. This means that the tumor started within the heart. Most heart tumors start somewhere else.
Primary cardiac tumors are rare. Myxomas are the most common type of these rare tumors. About 75% of myxomas occur in the left atrium of the heart. They most often begin in the wall that divides the two upper chambers of the heart. The rest are in the right atrium. Right atrial myxomas are sometimes linked with tricuspid stenosis and atrial fibrillation.
Myxomas are more common in women. About 1 in 10 myxomas are passed down through families (inherited). These tumors are called familial myxomas. They tend to occur in more than one part of the heart at a time, and often cause symptoms at a younger age.
Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they go along with a change in body position.
Symptoms of a myxoma may include:
The symptoms and signs of left atrial myxomas often mimic mitral stenosis. Right atrial myxomas rarely produce symptoms until they have grown to be at least 5 inches wide.
Other symptoms may include:
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam and listen to your heart through a stethoscope. Abnormal heart sounds or a murmur may be heard. These sounds may change when you change body position.
Imaging tests may include:
You may also need blood tests including:
Surgery is needed to remove the tumor. Some people will also need the mitral valve replaced. This can be done during the same surgery.
Myxomas may come back if surgery does not remove all of the tumor cells.
A myxoma is not cancer, but complications are common.
Untreated, a myxoma can lead to an embolism (tumor cells breaking off and traveling in the bloodstream). This can lead to a blockage of blood flow or cause the tumor to grow in another part of the body. Pieces of the tumor can move to the brain, eye, or limbs.
If the tumor grows inside the heart, it can block blood flow. This may require emergency surgery to prevent sudden death.

Born: 04/17/1959
Birth Place: Yorkshire, England, GB
Born on April 17, 1959 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, Bean was raised in Handsworth by his father, Brian, a welder and steel factory owner, and his mother, Rita, a secretary.

The Latitude 64 Spike - Zero is a disc golf putter and approach disc in Eze/Zero Line. It has a stable flight path and is excellent for curve shots and straight shots alike. It will fly very flat for shots up to 300ft. Compared to ordinary putters it has a shallower grip and a smooth edge. This will prevent the disc from sticking to your hand when releasing. The top of the disc has TractionZones with options for varied grip.
Speed 4, Glide 2, Turn -1, Fade 1
During 2013 - premium putters in the Zero Line were back on shelves. In the fall of 2012, Latitude had not been satisfied with the outcome of some of the Eze Line discs, therefore production in Eze Line material was put on hold and premium putters were brought back in the Zero line.
A little history:
In 2012, Latitude 64 released a 2nd version of "DX" type plastic. They tested materials on Pure, Vision and Bolt discs which have neutral flight characteristics. Their impression of this LE2 plastic was that it was a bit grippier right away without the production slickness found at first in the LE1 discs.
May 2012 - The LE2 Test Run had been selected as the new Latitude 64 Eze Line which replaced the Zero Line as Latitude 64 wanted to take this material into discs other than just putters. Zero Line plastic was not possible to use in drivers and midranges which is why they tested alternatives to it. Eze Line was first released in putters. It was more durable than the Zero line and was able to be produced in several degrees of stiffness. Latitude 64 started out with a stiff version when they released the Mercy in this material. Soft Eze was to be available in summer 2012. By fall 2012, due to the fact that they were not happy with results, they put the Eze on hold and brought premium putters back in the Zero Line.

WASHINGTON — A pair of pro-gun senators announced a compromise plan Wednesday to expand background checks on many firearms purchases.
The proposal stopped short of the expansive system sought by President Barack Obama and many gun-control advocates. But it won swift bipartisan backing and became the template for what would be the most consequential congressional action on firearms regulations since the 1990s.
It won praise from advocates of stiffer restrictions, including Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a political independent, reflecting the eagerness on that side of the debate to score concessions after months of intense opposition from the National Rifle Association.
The NRA opposed the proposal, which was offered by two of the lawmakers it had backed for years, Sens. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. But an otherwise critical statement released by the NRA after a Toomey-Manchin news conference cited "a positive development" in the move toward a background check system the group viewed as less intrusive then the one being pushed by Bloomberg and the White House.
The Toomey-Manchin plan would extend the current background check requirement from covering only sales at licensed dealerships to covering any sale that takes place at a gun show or that was advertised in print or online. However, background checks would not be required for many sales between private individuals — a loophole that many gun-control advocates had hoped would be closed.
The new proposal would also expand some gun rights. Gun dealers would be able to sell guns across state lines, for example, and gun owners with state-issued permits to carry concealed weapons would be allowed to carry their firearms through states that don't allow concealed weapons. The senators also called for a national commission to evaluate causes of violence, including the role of the entertainment industry.
The gun-rights expansions have been long-time NRA recommendations. Gun-control advocates, including the White House, appeared ready to accept such compromises in the name of a broader deal. They have effectively conceded that their hopes for universal background checks and bans on semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity magazines had proved unrealistic in the months since the Dec. 14 elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., jump-started the gun debate.
"This is not my bill, and there are aspects of the agreement that I might prefer to be stronger," Obama said in a statement. "But the agreement does represent welcome and significant bipartisan progress. It recognizes that there are good people on both sides of this issue, and we don't have to agree on everything to know that we've got to do something to stem the tide of gun violence."
The appearance Wednesday morning by Toomey and Manchin followed weeks of on-again, off-again negotiations. The Pennsylvania Republican stepped into the mix in the final days when conversations with a GOP colleague, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, stalled amid disagreements about whether an expanded background check system would collect records about gun owners.
Law enforcement officials say records are necessary to track criminal use of guns, but many gun-rights activists see them as a threat to Second Amendment rights. The new proposal would require that all sales covered under the new background check system be recorded by licensed dealers.
Toomey predicted the plan would pick up support from conservative Republicans in the Senate and the House.
"Candidly, I don't consider criminal background checks to be gun control," he said. "I think it's common sense."
Manchin, in an interview, described the plan as one that would force both sides to make concessions.
"All of them have to look at it and say, listen, are the gun show loopholes closed? Absolutely," Manchin said. "Are Internet sales stopped from proliferating to a much larger degree? Absolutely. Did we create new law? No. We expanded on existing law. The things the NRA would love are in this bill."
The men have a delicate sales job ahead. Pro-gun lawmakers and the NRA could seek to block it or offer amendments to undermine the compromise, and some lawmakers were vowing to do so as the legislation begins to move later this week.
Even if the measure were to pass the Democratic-led Senate, it would face stiff odds in the Republican-led House.
The Senate is set to vote Thursday on a "motion to proceed" to consider a gun-control bill that will be offered by Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and eventually include the Toomey-Manchin proposal.
Sixty votes are needed to overcome a filibuster threatened by some conservative Republicans. Supporters appear to have secured enough support.
The push by Toomey and Manchin to carefully woo conservatives came into play even in the choreography of Wednesday's announcement. Toomey asked that Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., not appear at the news conference, and Schumer consented, according to several aides familiar with the talks.
The conservative group Heritage Action nevertheless criticized the legislation and its GOP architect, issuing a news release Wednesday stating, "we expect more of Pat Toomey."
Coburn was sharply critical, saying the plan if enacted would encourage criminals to find new loopholes.
"Why wouldn't you just make an agreement to make the purchase later after the gun show?" Coburn asked.
Behind the scenes, gun industry advocates were divided and uncertain, according to people familiar with the deliberations. Despite the NRA's stated opposition, "we are looking closely at this proposal and examining its merits," said one longtime industry advocate, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal thinking.

Specialation is rife on extensive cabinet reshuffle in the coming months, in the aftermath of delayed return to Dar es Salaam of UN Deputy Secretary General Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro, while health concerns relating to at least two members of President Kikwete's cabinet are anything but lessening.
A section of analysts were ready to bet that the homecoming of Dr Migiro, recently announced in New York but now likely to take another six months, will not be the retirement type.
It is more likely to lead to another ladder in her political and lately diplomatic career that was virtually unimaginable as she became Special Seats MP late 2005. In that sense it would come close to the UN 'retirement' mid 2010 of her former fellow lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam, Prof. Anna Tibaijuka as executive director for UN Habitat in Nairobi.
Part of the speculation was directed as to whether she would take back her old portfolio at Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, now that she more or less encapsulates the image of the country abroad, second only to the more visible image of the president himself.
It would not be the first or second time that a minister returns to an old job, noting for instance that former Prime Minister and First Vice President Cleopa Msuya was in and out of the Industry portfolio for nearly 20 years, from 1975 to 1994, with several stints at the Treasury as well.
Closer to the current homecoming in profile and stature vis a vis the cabinet, but in contrasting circumstances was the case of former UN Permanent Representative Salim Ahmed Salim, whom President Nyerere recalled early 1983 to take over the Foreign Affairs portfolio as newly reappointed Prime Minister Edward Sokoine reshaped the cabinet.
At Sokoine's untimely death in April 1984 Salim was shuffled up as premier, and at the start of the second phase presidency, a newly designated post of deputy prime minister was created, as he took over the Defense portfolio. He later took up the glamorous post of OAU Secretary General, but when he returned home after three terms it was to retire, not to rejoin the cabinet.
What may hold back President Kikwete from an assertive reshuffle is that it would be read in the context of ongoing pushing and pulling in the pecking order for the 2015 run for nomination of the CCM candidate for the presidency, where replacing any noted names will be taken as a signal of the president's preferences.
Yet it can only be presumed that that the task that faces the president and Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda at the moment is to brush up results in several fronts so that rising complaints can be contained, instead of overflowing into the streets.
Already President Kikwete has had to call meetings with leaders of opposition parties on various issues, starting with the constitutional rewriting process to rising electricity prices, etc.
Age-wise the outgoing UN Deputy Secretary General still has a few years left as a public servant, while reaching age 60 has never been fatal for most political positions, and even some important administrative functions like Regional Commissioner.
In that case it is virtually foregone that she rejoins the government at top level, to help reduce the personal load of the president especially in ironing out problems with top level foreign dignitaries.
It is uncertain if such a role privileges the Foreign Ministry as an abode, where of course a lot of sensitivity would be directed at whether the president would replace flambouyant minister Bernard Membe. He has given the office a distinctive look, redefined or rather sharpened options and dispositions of Tanzania's foreign policy in ways that have as many friends as it may have foes.
He more or less organized the Comorian rescue mission to remove a rebel provincial leader who was defying elected authorities in Moroni, wishing to carve out the Anjouan Island to other designs, a certain Col. Mohammed Bacar.
In tandem with East African Affairs Minister Samuel Sitta, he seems to be opposed to the Kenyan intervention in Somalia, leading to a contentious atmosphere in the EAC Secretariat's call for a regional approach to security issues.
Many radicals in Dar es Salaam fear that the collective handling of defense and security would be tilted in favor of the US Africa Command, which already has a small expeditionary force in Uganda.
Not averse to controversy, one among his key allies in the Comorian expedition was embattled Sudanese President Omar el Bashir, despite that an international warrant of arrest was placed on him by the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Minister Membe is also known to have
retained the president's early contacts in that position and up to his nomination, for instance close cultural cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran, in like manner as was the case with the late Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi.
What is surprising though is that this itinerary of friends or allies doesn't make the minister a radical in the old view of things, as he is also noticeably conservative at heart, for instance underlining not so long ago that Tanzania's commitment to the liberation process in southern Africa helped to stagnate its economy.
Liberals would tend to think that it is Tanzania's adamant refusal for profound reform other than wholesale and retail trade, and profound financial sector reform completed by the privatization of the old National Bank of Commerce, imposed on an unwilling third phase leadership.
From that time onwards the government failed to gather the strength for any noticeable privatization, preferring 'smart privatization' of selling off a portion of share holding while separating fixed property from stock and flow. It all failed in acrimony.
Minister Membe also pursued Tanzania's old claims against Uganda in terms of wartime credits, during the joint effort of the TPDF and Ugandan dissident forces against the Idi Amin military regime, while most people would be surprised to hear that there was commerce in executing the war in Uganda.
In her short stay at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the now programmed to return Dr Asha Rose Migiro did not visibly stamp any approach to issues as has done her successor, nor is it evident she was personally close to the Head of State as Minister Membe has more or less demonstrated he has top level confidence.
Nor again is it obvious the president would seek to disturb the calm and experienced hands in charge at the Foreign portfolio, unless there is a change of spirit that the rest of the world has been demanding.
That is entirely predictable in relation to Tanzania's attitude towards various issues, be it the EA integration process, the Sudanese leader arrest warrant, EAC commitment to the fight against Al Shabaab in Somalia, reaching an economic cooperation agreement with the European Union, and various other pending matters.
Reports as to the departure of Dr Migiro from the UN post spoke of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon wishing to revamp his administration with a new team. That could also imply that there are changes of attitude that he would wish to instill in the staff, which leaves an open question as to how Dr Migiro would not fit into that outlook, and whether that bears on a subsequent appointment, as to what orientations the world is expecting, or she prefers.
Still, insiders say that Dr Migiro's family is mostly in Dar es Salaam, and unlike Prof. Tibaijuka who would take an hour to fly to Dar, it is a different matter when it is an intercontinental flight. This has a tendency to make the virtual exile somewhat unbearable.
With regard to the cabinet, few open contentions can be cited which would prompt a wide reshuffle, outside accommodating an influential aide and perhaps rectifying a few things in the wake of some key appointments, disputes and health alerts.
In that case, while the Foreign Ministry is under a pair of reliable hands at present, chances of some western powers wishing that a more sympathetic top executive is appointed there aren't negligible – though it is in some ways evident that the president's own intuitions are closer to the minister than to erstwhile advisers from chancelleries or during foreign visits, summit meetings, etc.
At the political level however it would be woefully unrealistic to expect that the president has singularly no preference as to who emerges the winner in the tussling in CCM, where two lines both swearing loyalty to the president's inner circle contend, the first around Publicity Secretary Nape Nnauye, and the second group around the UVCCM leadership.
They are openly hostile to the publicity secretary, with some newspapers at one time said the UVCCM top brass "detest Nape more than the opposition," while the party chairman was on record, before the resignation of ex-Igunga MP Rostam Aziz, also a former CCM national treasurer, declaring that "some stupid guys" are saying that the publicity secretary's campaign was damaging the party.
Yet the record in that direction isn't by any mileage reassuring for the president, as no one before him has successfully arranged a successor in an orderly way as he would have pleased.

Second phase president Ali Hassan Mwinyi stepped aside for Mwalimu to supervise the 1995 succession run, where he got one back by eliminating powerful ex-premier John Malecela, and then retired president Benjamin Mkapa failed to thwart Jakaya Kikwete's unstoppable run.

The United States of America is now almost evenly divided between 24 right to work states (not by accident only two of these are in the rust belt) and 26 no right to work states. Yesterday Michigan became the 24th state to embrace right to work status.
What is significant about yesterday's switch is that Michigan is the historic bastion of big labor, home to the once-biggest and most powerful labor union in the nation the UAW. How indeed have the mighty fallen on the field of battle. Barack Obama beat his bully pulpit last week to keep Michigan in the hands of Big Labor. But on this contentious issue, even the Messiah struck out.
'Right to work' states ban unions from requiring union membership and union dues from any individual who works in a union-recognized company or industry. This is an important ban. It denies the union any right to force union membership or to extract union dues from the paycheck of any unwilling employee. Implicitly, the union therefore cannot deploy such coerced membership and monetary extractions in lobbying support for political candidates not favored by individuals working in a labor-recognized company.
Since Big Labor almost always supports union-favoring Democrats running for political office, right to work states confirm the right of any individual, wherever he is employed, to support candidates of his choice, or not to support anyone at all. That is a basic freedom that Big Labor and the Democratic Party jointly despise. And yet the leaders of Big Labor and of the Democratic Party happily mouth empty words about 'The Land of the Free'!
Right to work states typically are more attractive to new enterprise, hence the term rust belt for many of the states that favor Big Labor. In October 2012, right to work states averaged 6.9 per cent unemployment as compared with the national average of 7.6 per cent. Wages tend to be about 10 per cent lower in right to work states. Big labor protects the wage rates of its members while losing members rapidly because of over-pricing. So Obama was basically correct, at least in the short run, in claiming that 'right to work' allows individuals to work for less money. Of course, he did not stress the allowed to work part of that statement. For example, in 2004, the UAW boasted 654,000 active members. In 2012, its membership is down to 380,000 and many of those are living off taxpayer subsidies.
But the real benefit provided by right to work status is political and economic freedom. And lovers of liberty attach a high value to those freedoms.

We're hearing from the family of a man whose home is at the center of a scary late-night encounter with a total stranger.
Police say a man was so intoxicated he thought he was trying to get into his home, which is actually a block away.
But the elderly homeowner thought he was a burglar, so he fired a warning shot through his front door.
It happened around 1 a.m. Saturday off West Platte Ave in Colorado Springs.
A drunken man mistook the house for his. Knocking on the door turned into pounding, then running charges as he tried to get in, using the full force of his body to bust it open.
Actions that terrified the 87-year-old homeowner and his 80-year-old wife who live there.
After warning him verbally, the elderly man fired a warning shot, through his front door, right above the drunken man's head.
"If you're gonna protect your family, you gotta do what you gotta do," said Neighbor Joseph Roybal.
Neighbors 11 News talked to in the area say they support the homeowner's actions.
Joseph Roybal who lives down the street says he would have done the same thing.
"If it did come to that I would shoot them. I'm not a violent person, at all, but I believe my house is my home and it shouldn't be invaded like that," said Roybal.
The homeowner's son tells 11 News the couple is still shaken up, but no one was injured. They replaced their door with a new one.
Neighbors say this isn't the first time an intoxicated person has come pounding on their doors in the middle of the night, but they hope it will be the last.
Police took the suspect away but right now have not charged him because they believe it was an accident.
However because the elderly man fired a shot through his door and not when the intruder was inside his home, he could face charges, because that doesn't fall under the "Make My Day" Law.
That will be up to the District Attorney's Office. Right now police say no charges are pending.

Marlborough can lay claim to starting the modern New Zealand wine industry. Here in the late 1970s, Marlborough produced Sauvignon Blanc, among other varieties, which led to confidence that New Zealand could produce interesting wine. In 2011, the Marlborough wine region represented 62% of total vineyard area in the country.

Comments On Feb 07, 2011:Though these mid-layers are warm and the Velcro adjustments make sizing the waist a breeze, I was very disappointed that the waist only fastens with a simple snap that can come undone fairly easily while sitting. Also, there are no belt loops for wearing a belt, should you decide to do so. Basically, you're just relying upon a rather weak snap to keep the pants secure. I'm a big fan of Klim and have bought quite a few of their products as they've always seemed really well thought out. I have to say they failed on this one.

The government of Canada, through its G8 Muskoka Initiatives, has announced support to improve health care for mother and child health (MCH) programme in the country.
The announcement was made on Monday in Dar es Salaam by Canada's head of cooperation John Moore on the sidelines of a national workshop on the Accountability Framework for Women's and Children's Health, hosted by the government of Tanzania which ends today.
He said Canada and Tanzania have committed to take action to put a stop to mothers dying during pregnancy and childbirth and children dying before their fifth birthday.
"I am proud to say that with this announcement, Canada is at the forefront of supporting the government of Tanzania in this joint effort," he said.
The projects will help strengthen the delivery of health care services, improve nutrition, and address common and preventable diseases that cause maternal, newborn and child deaths. This will be achieved by improving infrastructure, equipment and training related to prenatal, delivery and postnatal care, as well as infant and child care.
According to him, the projects will also aim to improve community awareness and health practices and increase demand for MNCH and nutritional services. Examples of the activities include upgrading health centres and dispensaries, training healthcare workers in emergency obstetrics, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition practices, and providing greater access to family planning and vaccinations.
Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, acting Permanent Secretary Regina Kikuli renewed Tanzania's commitment to mothers and children and thanked Canada and other development pPartners for their support.
"The government of Tanzania is pleased to be working in partnership with Canada and other stakeholders to improve the health of Tanzanian women and children through improving access to and knowledge of life-saving health services," she said
Tanzania was selected in 2009 as a country of focus as part of the government of Canada's aid effectiveness agenda and is one of 10 countries where CIDA is focusing its Muskoka Initiative for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health.
Canada will provide over US$127 million for four years (2011-2015) to support the government of Tanzania to improve maternal, newborn and child health outcomes particularly in underserved regions of Tanzania.

A 5,000 year old Q&A with the lord of death
The Indian spiritual traditions are replete with dialogues, Q&As and rhetoric on truth. Even in the great epic Mahabharata we find many accounts of reasoning and inquiry where application of dharma is discussed. The Yaksha Prashna in the Mahabharata is one such section where we find a famous Q&A (question and answer) session between Yama the Lord of death and the wise King Yudhistir. In this Q&A we find 123 pointed questions by Lord Yama in a rapid fire style to which the righteous Yudhistir answers in a crisp and insightful way covering many aspects of applied DHARMA.
The story is set up at the end of twelve years of exile of the five brothers Pandavas in the forest in the great Mahabharata. The episode is in the book of the forest (Aranyaka parva) where Yama the Lord of Death and Justice comes in disguise as a Yaksha (a nature spirit) to test the mettle of the dharmic King-in-exile Yudhistir. The test is quite rigorous and the situation is deadly. The episode brings out the core teachings of dharma which in the dharmic traditions is the 'Summum Bonum' of all existence. This dialogue called the 'Yaksha Prashna' (questions by a Yaksha) is quite popular and oft quoted to validate righteous actions.
Why is Yaksha Prashna popular?
The Q&A covers a wide range of aphorisms on rightful conduct, relationships, piety, duties, religiosity etc. The account is more like a Chief Justice of Supreme Court interviewing a brilliant practicing lawyer who has a reputation for righteous conduct and cause for justice. The Chief Justice here is Yama who presides as the God of Death who rules according to the principles of dharma. The dharma practitioner is King Yudhistir who has established himself as an embodiment of dharma with an unsullied reputation of being righteous to the core. This episode gives us insight into what dharma means and how it can be applied today. While the context story for this dialogue is quite interesting, the wisdom that comes out of the Q&A is the real reason for the story.
To make the long story short…
When the five brothers (Pandavas) were living in the forest, a stag took away the fire making sticks from the sage's home in the forest in its antlers. The saint requested the Pandavas to recover it. The Pandavas followed the hoof marks of the deer throughout the day and reached deep in the forest. Yudhistir the eldest of the Pandavas becomes tired and thirsty and wants some water. Sahadev the youngest brother volunteers spots a lake nearby. The lake was bare of any living beings except a crane.
When Sahadev is about to drink water from the lake, the crane speaks, "Oh Sahadev, the water of this lake is poisonous, if you drink it without answering my questions." Sahadev ignores, drinks the water and dies instantly. The three other brothers of Yudhistir do the same and die. Seeing his four brothers missing, Yudhistir comes in search and seeing his brothers dead by the lake he too tries to fetch the water for their last rites. The crane warns Yudhistir and so he agrees to answer the questions of the crane. Before asking the questions, the crane reveals itself as a Yaksha. All the questions asked by the Yaksha get satisfactorily answered by Yudhistir and the brothers get revived. Then the Yaksha reveals his true being as Yama the Lord of death. (So the Lord of death and justice starts with a crane (baka) form, then changes to a Nature Spirit-Yaksha and then returns to the original form of Yama).

1) Tracking the Endangered Silverback Gorilla
You trek out at first light, the crisp green-scented air suffused with pale pink light. You're surrounded by the sounds of the jungle waking up: strange calls of exotic birds, hoots of distant monkeys, the last drops of dew plopping off of huge leaves. Then your Micato guide points, and time stops.
You've come across a family of gorillas.
There's nothing between you and them, and there's nothing to do but sit and stare. The family is in the throes of their everyday life—feeding, playing, resting; raising their young. As one mother turns to groom her child, she catches your eye, and you experience a powerful shock of recognition. The intimate experience of encountering the Silverback gorilla in its natural environs is sure to be the most emotional wildlife experience of your life. There are only 700 of these magnificent creatures left on the planet, so the time to see them is now.
3) Experiencing Country Clean-up Day
Hot coffee in hand, you step out onto your veranda and are greeted by a stunning sight. The landscape is dotted with people, all bent over and picking up trash. A pleasant hum of conversation rises from the scattered clusters of people. Some are in rags, others in business suits, others in tribal clothing. But today they're all one.
This is Country Clean-up Day, a mandatory monthly event for which the whole country turns out—even the president. This is just one way in which the Rwandan commitment to preserving the environment manifests itself. Rwanda's path toward unity was an incredibly rocky, heart-breaking one, and to see the results so clearly and positively displayed is hugely moving.
2) Hiking the "Land of a Thousand Hills"
Rwanda is called the "land of a thousand hills," and we can assure you, the nickname is apt. The lower hills are the realm of the farmers—90% of Rwandans farm for subsistence—and the emerald slopes seen from above look like a patchwork quilt spread over a lumpy bed: each square planted with sweet potatoes or bananas, beans or cassava, tea or coffee. But the mountains—these belong to the intrepid.
The Virunga Mountains, a chain of volcanoes, is our favourite place to hike. Mt. Muhabura is one of the "Ultras," the most prominent peaks in Africa. It tops out at 14,560 feet, and from its craggy cap all of Africa fans out around you, lush and rich and wild as far as the eye can see. Hale and hearty, pink-cheeked with the pleasure of having hiked all the way up the winding trail, you marvel at the vivid colours and spicy, earthy scent of this gorgeous country.
When you finally tear yourself away from the view, you find that your Micato guide has laid out a magnificent picnic. It's a hearty repast you've fully earned, and makes this excursion truly a delight for all the senses.
4) Getting to Know the Rwandan People
The faces of Rwandan people say it all: gentle smiles paired with liquid eyes. This country has been through a lot, but its remarkable people have turned their heartaches into patience, love and gratitude for life. It's incredibly rewarding and inspiring just to spend some time with the warm and welcoming locals.
With a renewed country comes new high spirits, and Rwandans certainly know how to celebrate. Music and dance are features of every occasion, ranging from commemorating excellence and bravery, acting out marriage or other rituals, or teasing each other with humorous one-act imitations .
Lucky visitors may chance upon spontaneous traditional performances in a village. Even more exclusive, Micato can arrange a performance of the Intore Dance Troupe. Founded several centuries ago, the Intore—literally "The Chosen Ones"—once performed exclusively for the Royal Court.
5) Discovering the Rare Golden Monkey
With your Micato guide, you come across a group sitting in a clearing grooming each other. A mother swings effortlessly down from a tree with a tiny baby clutching her chest. Two young males come running, tumbling into each other, so much like two human children that we have to laugh. One of these males approaches a female flirtatiously but is rebuffed. The other eyes the alpha male, who is being groomed by a bevy of females—possibly he's plotting a coup? The tableau is like one of Shakespeare's plays, and it's so mesmerizing that we're moved to simply sit and observe.
The Golden monkey (Cercopithecus mitis kandti) is quite rare, and—much like its cousin the Silverback gorilla—it can only be found in the foothills of the Virunga Volcanoes. An opportunity to view these small, engaging creatures in their habitat is not to be missed.
