Photo in upper margins by Ralph, Graphic within by Heather Anne Playing this Page: Kiss from a Rose Here We Are Again! By Car (Carolyn Reynolds) We hope this month's magazine wraps you in our love and keeps you feeling warm and comforted. This is one outstanding issue, my friends, and a huge one, too! Lots awaits you this month, starting with our theme in honor of love and Valentine's Day. It is packed full. I started running love poetry both in Theme and Poetry, but soon both sections started getting so filled I stopped. Please take the time to read both of these sections all the way through this month. You will find them both outstanding. Of yes, and if Fiction delights you, then do be sure to read each of our short stories this month. Real Life Stories now is divided into three parts. One is our regular place for readers to tell us about what is going on in their lives, another is for Inspirations where readers have shared mostly forwarded segments, and the third is all Forwards, some humorous, some with serious topics. Needless to say, Real Life Stories is a delight on so many levels. If you want to find out what's out there in research and development for all of us with MS, check out FYI. It's always informative for us, filled with good information. I bet many if not all of our readers now have a favorite or two in our Features, where you'll find our monthly columnists. Some are funny, all will touch your hearts in one way or another, so don't ever miss a feature. In Tips & Tricks you might just find something good to eat in a recipe, or a handy tip or two. Our writers have an opportunity to share favorite photos of their families in Our Pride and Joy. Follow your way on down our navigation bar to the left of each and every page to find out the rest of what we have each month.

Vernon Davis Fantasy Football News, Notes, Rumors and Statistics
News | Statistics | Player vs. Team | Utilization | Injury History | Depth Chart | Team Roster
Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:22:04 -0800 San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis said it will be difficult seeing QB Alex Smith play for another team in 2013 after being traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. "It was tough for me because I really care about Alex," Davis said. "I love the guy. It's hard to see him leave, but I know the business. I understand it. It's the nature of the business." Davis added Smith handled his role well after he was relegated to backup status following the emergence of QB Colin Kaepernick. "He's a classy guy. You saw what happened to him this year. He remained a 49er and he didn't complain. He didn't go to coach saying, 'Coach I should be the starter. I had a concussion and you took me out.' He didn't do none of those things."
Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:41:23 -0800 Baltimore Ravens LB Ray Lewis struggled in coverage during Super Bowl XLVII, which led head coach John Harbaugh to tell his defensive assistant coaches that they needed to make sure their calls didn't leave Lewis covering San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis or WR Michael Crabtree over the middle of the field. "We can't let Ray be matched up on 85 or 15 all day when we're playing quarters," Harbaugh told his coaches.
Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:19:10 -0800 The San Francisco 49ers were the first team in Super Bowl history to have a 300-yard passer, a 100-yard rusher and two 100-yard receivers in the game. QB Colin Kaepernick threw for 302 yards, RB Frank Gore rushed for 100 yards, WR Michael Crabtree recorded 109 receiving yards and TE Vernon Davis recorded 104 receiving yards.
Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:09:21 -0800 San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis (elbow) suffered an elbow injury in Super Bowl XLVII but is probable to return.
Sun, 03 Feb 2013 06:14:31 -0800 Baltimore Ravens SS Bernard Pollard could be assigned the task of covering San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis in Super Bowl XLVII. Physically, Pollard may be the best option for the Ravens to handle Davis' size and overall ability.
Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:01:17 -0800 San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis has bought into the team's philosophy that they will throw to the receiver or tight end with the most advantageous coverage, according to offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Davis acknowledged when he first entered the NFL he was all about himself and his numbers. However, now he is just happy to be on the field even if he isn't catching passes. "I'm not worried about the statistics, because those things will come," Davis said. Davis only had six catches for 61 yards during the team's final six regular-season games, but he has caught six passes for 150 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in two playoff games this year.
Mon, 21 Jan 2013 06:27:34 -0800 The Atlanta Falcons defense had trouble with tight ends in the playoffs. San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis recorded 105 yards and a touchdown against the unit in the NFC Championship Game. The week prior in the dvisional round, Seattle Seahawks TE Zach Miller had 142 yards and a touchdown. Only one tight end had a 100-yard game against the Falcons in the regular season.
Mon, 21 Jan 2013 05:29:48 -0800 San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick was 9-of-11 passing for 129 yards and a touchdown when the Atlanta Falcons sent five or more pass rushers during the NFC Championship Game, setting a career high for passing yards against added pressure. Kaepernick's primary target on such throws was TE Vernon Davis, who caught four passes for 75 yards and a touchdown when the Falcons sent extra pressure.
Mon, 21 Jan 2013 05:26:38 -0800 San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis had five receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown in the NFC Championship Game. Davis had previously struggled to connect with QB Colin Kaepernick. He had one touchdown catch since Kaepernick took over as starting quarterback in Week 11, and had just one or fewer catches in six of his first eight games with Kaepernick starting.
Tue, 08 Jan 2013 19:25:55 -0800 San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis finished the regular season with 41 receptions, 548 yards and five touchdowns, all his lowest totals since the 2008 season. "It is a different feeling for me because it's been a tough season as far as just the feeling of being involved," Davis said. "To me, it's not a bad thing, because it's something I had to get used to this year. Each and every season in the past, I'm used to helping the team where I'm just catching balls and things like that. This year's been a little different."

Well worth the money Review by eudy
Select Rating I had been researching surveillance systems for 9 months before purchasing this model. Setup of the system was very easy, obviously where you decide to install the the cameras can make the install more difficult. It took a couple of hours once the system was networked to get it on my PCs and on our iPhones. Its great being able to check on the property from anywhere. The cameras have made it through a couple of severe windstorms and haven't moved at all. I'd recommend installing them under eves when possible. The system has been running for two months with no issues at all. I'd highly recommend upgrading to the 8 camera system, over the 4. It cost a little more money but I'm glad I did. (Posted on 7/6/12)
hard to use Review by Cici
Select Rating I am not very used to operate these security system.I think it's not very suitable for me (Posted on 6/11/12)

Researchers looked at the number of deaths over 10 years among more than 20,000 people, aged 40 to 69. All of them were at high risk for diabetes.
The patients were divided into three groups. One group underwent a round of diabetes screening that was followed up by routine care for those diagnosed with diabetes; another group had a round of screening followed by intensive management for those diagnosed with diabetes; and a third group did not undergo diabetes screening.
Over an average follow-up of nearly 10 years, the overall death rates in the groups that had diabetes screening were no lower than in the group that had no screening. There also was no significant difference between the groups in the number of deaths specifically from diabetes, cardiovascular illness, cancer or other causes.
Study author Dr. Simon Griffin, of the epidemiology unit at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, said in a journal news release, "It seems that the benefits of screening might be smaller than expected and restricted to individuals with detectable disease." "However, benefits to the population could be increased by including the detection and management of cardiovascular risk factors alongside the assessment of diabetes risk, performing repeated rounds of screening and improving strategies to maximize the uptake of screening."
Michael Engelgau, of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, wrote in an accompanying editorial, "Diabetes screening and diagnosis can be done with relative ease, which further escalates popular support for wide-scale screening." "However, these compelling arguments overlook the screening costs, potential harm and lack of clear evidence that screening improves health outcomes compared with current routine clinical diagnosis."
"This study increases the doubt about the value of wide-scale screening for undiagnosed diabetes alone, and deserves credit for tackling the screening quandary head-on," Engelgau concluded. "Nevertheless, for any one study to address the diverse factors that affect screening policies -- ranging from the magnitude of population burden of disease to the capacity and effectiveness of prevention approaches -- is a tall order. Screening recommendations are therefore likely to be country specific and context specific for the foreseeable future."

The Civil Service is one of the most diverse organisations in the country. There are 23 main Whitehall departments and 66 executive agencies delivering services to the citizen through networks of offices and outlets which number in the thousands.
With the world changing, challenging us through globalisation, climate change, international terrorism, the Civil Service must change to ensure Britain's response is joined up and effective. At the same time, the expectations of citizens have never been higher: they demand high quality, customer-focused services that are efficient and give value for money. To meet these challenges successfully, the Civil Service must evolve and change.
The senior leadership of the Civil Service oversees the management of the Service and decides on the big, strategic issues that will facilitate the transformation of an organisation that is more complex and diverse than any other in the country. Civil servants deliver support and benefits to those that need them; help job-seekers find work or retrain for new careers; support farmers and fisheries, industry and manufacturing; work in supporting our armed forces in Basra or Helmund or wherever we are trying to prevent conflict; and represent the UK in embassies overseas by promoting UK industry, attracting investment in the UK and helping UK citizens in distress abroad. They oversee the police and judicial systems and manage the immigration service; they are responsible for schools and education, for setting health service priorities, for our railways, roads and air services. They regulate some of the biggest industries that affect everyone's lives and they help build cohesive communities. They manage our taxation system, support small businesses and promote our economy and jobs. And at the highest levels, they work to counter climate change, counter terrorism, and manage the impact of the global economy.
Civil servants are administrators and policy makers as well as the people who deliver crucial services directly to the public. But they can also be economists, researchers, vets, cartographers, marine biologists, scientists, lawyers….The Civil Service is a complex organisation, and with a diverse range of departments, there's sure to a job suited to you.
There are a range of schemes available to graduates, aiding to your personal and professional development. You'll be working with some of the most able minds in the country.

Defence Engineering and Science Group Student and Graduate Schemes
The MOD recruits engineering and science graduates into the Defence Engineering and Science Group (DESG). The DESG is a community of 9,000 professional civilian engineers and scientists working within MOD Civil Service to equip and support UK Armed Forces with state of the art technology.
The prestigious DESG Graduate Scheme has been held in high regard throughout industry for almost thirty years. The Scheme is accredited by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and the Royal institute of Naval Architects (RINA) and offers an accelerated route to professional registration as a Chartered Engineer. The DESG Schemes include opportunities for students and graduates:
The DESG Graduate Scheme – This scheme is open to final year students. The graduate scheme consists of up to two years of structured training, leading to the first professional post.
The DESG student sponsorship scheme – This scheme sponsors student engineers and scientists enrolled on a relevant accredited degree course for the duration of their degree. A bursary is paid annually and the students are required to undertake paid placements during the summer vacation relevant to their professional development. Sponsorship can be obtained during the first year at university or mid-course.
The Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme (DTUS) – This Scheme offers sponsorship to a limited number of students commencing or part way through an approved science or engineering degree at Aston, Loughborough, Newcastle, Northumbria or Southampton universities. DTUS is similar to the student sponsorship scheme, but is designed to develop leadership and team working skills alongside the British Armed Forces and a deeper understanding of the military environment.
The Defence Sixth Form College, Welbeck – The College has become one of the UK's top sixth form colleges with an outstanding academic reputation. Welbeck teaches a science and technology based A-level curriculum designed to prepare students for a technical degree at a leading UK university, providing a head start into training for a career as an Officer within the Armed Forces or MOD Civil Service.
If you are interested in any of the DESG Schemes, please visit the DESG website: www.desg.mod.uk
Given the civil Service is such a complex and diverse organisation, we have a number of different graduate schemes designed to suit your needs best.
Nationality Requirements
You can apply for any post in the Civil Service as long as you're a UK national or have dual nationality with one part being British. In addition, about 75% of Civil Service posts are open to Commonwealth citizens and nationals of any of the member states of the European Economic Area (EEA). The remainder, which require special allegiance to the state, are reserved for UK nationals.
Under the EC Treaty, where an EEA national of another member state has a right of residence in the UK and is employed or self-employed, or in receipt of services, in the UK, then certain non-EEA family members have the right of residence here and hence the right to take employment, including in the Civil Service. Similarly, where the EEA national has a right of residence in the UK in a non-economically active category (i.e. as a vocational student, retired person, or a self-sufficient person), then certain non-EEA family members have the right to take employment. These rights do not extend to non-EEA family members of a UK national except in very limited circumstances where the UK national has returned to the UK, in the exercise of a Treaty right, after having exercised Treaty rights in an economically active capacity in another member state, and is accompanied or being joined by a non-EEA family member. The categories of family member are: the EEA national's spouse; a descendant of the EEA national or the spouse who is under 21 years of age or is their dependant; and a dependent relative in the ascending line of the EEA national or the spouse.
Applicants with dual nationality will be eligible for non-reserved posts provided that one part meets the nationality requirements. When applying, you will be asked about your nationality at birth, whether you are subject to immigration control, and whether there are any restrictions on your continued residence or employment in the UK.
Please refer to the Civil Service Nationality Requirements for more detailed information on the nationality rules.
UK National
UK national is as defined in the UK declaration on nationality for EC purposes made with effect from 1 January 1983. This comprises: British citizens, British subjects under Part IV of the British Nationality Act 1981 having the right of abode in the UK, and British Overseas Territories citizens. The Declaration also notes the reference, in connection with the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, that "any citizen of the UK and Colonies" is to be understood as referring to "any British citizen".
Nationals of the European Economic Area
The European Economic Area comprises the member states of the European Community (EC) and the European Free Trade Area (EFTA). The EC Member States (besides the UK) are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. The EFTA Member States are Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Although Switzerland is not part of the EEA, and Swiss nationals are not EEA nationals, the EU-Swiss Agreement (1 June 2002) confers upon Swiss nationals many of the same rights as are enjoyed by EEA nationals and their family members, including employment in the Civil Service in non-reserved posts.
Commonwealth Citizens
Commonwealth citizens means any person who has the status of a Commonwealth citizen under the British Nationality Act 1981. This includes: British citizens; British subjects with the right of abode in the UK (this generally applies to people who were born before 1 January 1949 and who had a connection with either British India or the Republic of Ireland); British Overseas Territories citizens (i.e. people who obtained their citizenship from a connection with a territory which remains a British dependency, e.g. Gibraltar, Bermuda); British Overseas Citizens (i.e. people who have a connection with a former British colony, for example, Kenya, who did not become either citizens of that country when it became independent or British citizens); a national of a country listed in Schedule 3 of the British Nationality Act 1981. (i.e Australia, New Zealand, Canada. Note: The list of countries in Schedule 3 at any time may not accurately reflect the countries actually within the Commonwealth at that time); a further category was added in 1986 under the Hong Kong (British Nationality) Order: British National (Overseas). This applies to former British Dependent Territories citizens connected with Hong Kong.

Habs Holiday Miracle: Markov could return this week as Habs prepare for Sabres
December 14, 2009
George Prax
4 Comments
There is reason to celebrate tonight, despite the pre-Christmas rush a lot of us might be feeling. Despite the gaping hole in our pockets we know we're going to feel come the end of the month, despite the big guts we're certain to accumulate after Christmas dinners. Despite all that, Habs fans can wear a huge smile on their face on this Monday Morning. Andrei Markov will be seeing doctors today, and if all goes according to plan, we could be seeing the Habs' #1 defenseman in uniform as early as tonight! According to Pat Hickey of the Gazette, that's unlikely, but Markov could likely dress either Wednesday when the Canadiens visit the Devils in New Jersey, or Thursday when they rec...

The Penguins weren't marching yesterday. In fact, the only Penguin-like behavior the Stanley Cup champs were showcasing was the fact that they were grounded. At least their flight was, delayed by a raging snow storm in Montreal. They did, however, make it into town in time to prepare for the game tonight, which will be the first meeting between the Canadiens and Pittsburgh in Montreal. In the two prior meetings between the Habs and Pens at Mellon arena this season, the Canadiens have been outscored 9-2, losing both games thanks to big performances from Sidney Crosby and his gang, and lack therof from their opponents. The first game at the end of October was an embarrasing 6-1 ...

Roman Hamrlik's underrated contribution

When Andrei Markov went down with a lacerated tendon during the Montreal Canadiens' first game of the season in Toronto, many observers believed his absence and the lack of defensive depth on the blue line would erase any playoffs hope for the 2009-10 season. Andrei Markov's presence has proven to be invaluable for the Canadiens in the last few seasons as their record indicates: Prior to this year without Markov: 7-14-3 This year without Markov: 14-14-2 However, this season a silent leader emerged among the Habs' defensive corps of Jaroslav Spacek, Paul Mara, Josh Gorges, Hal Gill, Ryan O'Byrne, Roman Hamrllik and M-A Bergeron, to compensate the long-term loss of Andrei M...

Alex Kovalev was back in Montreal yesterday, promoting the launch of his Off-Ice Training DVD. Is it just me, or is it amusing that Kovalev, now a member of the Ottawa Senators, decides to promote his DVD in this city, instead of promoting it in Ottawa, where Eugene Melnyk has forked over $10 million over two years so that Kovalev can play on the Senators' top lines? Kovalev will be the first person to tell you that Montreal was probably his favorite city to play in. The relationship between the aging Russian star in this city has always been one of love-hate, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that Kovalev was probably the most exciting player to put on the bleu-blanc-et-r...

Habs look to avoid Centennial Hangover against struggling Flyers

I know when to eat my words. Admiteddly, last week's Centennial Game Blog was very negative. While I was certain that the ceremony before the game would be something to remember, I didn't have too great a feeling going into Friday's game against the Bruins. History has shown us that the Habs don't play too well on nights of ceremonies or jersey retirements. Maybe it's the added pressure of playing under the watchful eye of Habs legends, maybe it's the delay of the ceremonies itself, I don't know, but ever since these centennial celebrations began several years ago, the Canadiens have been constantly embarrassed by opposing teams. I didn't expect Friday night to be any different...

84 years of Glory + 16 years of misery = Habs Centennial

I'm all for celebrating major events in sports. I'm all for ceremonies in hockey. And I'm all for the celebration of the Centennial season of the Montreal Canadiens. But I don't think I'm the only Habs fan that will be glad when tonight's ceremony, as well as tonight's game, is over, and everyone can move on. Centennial seasons aren't something that are celebrated very often in sports. Beyond certain baseball teams in the US, and soccer teams in Europe, the Montreal Canadiens are amongst the oldest teams in pro sports. And if you factor in the fact that the Canadiens have never changed cities or names (they've certainly changed jerseys a lot, but I digress..), their Centennial s...

GAMEDAY: Habs visit Sabres on the 394th day of the 99th year of their existence

The Habs are in Buffalo tonight, as they prepare to face the league's best goaltender, Ryan Miller, and his troupe of Sabres. We'll get to the game in a second, but first a few notes about the site and some upcoming blogs. I'll admit that my game preview won't be as comprehensive as it normally is today. I'm saving myself for a fairly lengthy and in depth feature before tomorrow's centennial game, and I don't want to get too much into it today. Also, expect at least one other blog from me today, as the Chicago Blackhawns are set to announce the contract extentions of several players, and that's obviously something that's going to need some analysis once the contract numbers are...

Max Pacioretty's much anticipated resurgence
December 1, 2009
Fred Poulin
3 Comments
Drafted 22nd overall in the first round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens (a pick they had acquired along with Josh Gorges in exchange for veteran defenseman, and Saku Koivu's best friend, Craig Rivet), Max Pacioretty is finally making an impact offensively for the injury-riddled Habs. Commonly known as Max Pac by his friends and teammates, Pacioretty made his NHL debut last season on January 2nd, 2009 against the New Jersey Devils. That night, he scored his first NHL goal on his first NHL shift beating Scott Clemmensen with an accurate shot in a 4-1 loss. After starting his first professional season in the AHL with the Bulldogs, the New Canaan, Connecticut-native...

If Savard gets a $4.2 million cap hit... (Plus Leafs/Habs preview)
December 1, 2009
George Prax
15 Comments
This morning, Bob Mackenzie broke the story that the Bruins had extended center Marc Savard for 7 years. The deal averages out to about $4.2 million (over half a million less than what was circulating around the rumor mill), which seems almost ridiculous when you consider what kind of player Savard is. While we haven't found out what kind of money Savard will make each year, I'd bet a fair sum that it's pretty heavily loaded in the first few years. Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo sports puts it into context: With his $4.2 million hit annually, Savard will cost less against the cap than Tim Connolly(notes) ($4.5 million), Daymond Langkow(notes) ($4.5 million), Martin Erat(notes) and D...

I have always been fascinated by how quickly the cell phone became part of people's lives in India. From the flower seller sitting on the street to the stock broker in an office, everyone started relying on the cell phone for business, medical help, social interactions etc.
I just returned from a trip to India and while I continued to remain amazed at the different ways the cell phone was being used, what completely caught me by surprise was the government passing a budget of Rs.7 crore to provide cell phones to a segment of the population that could not afford one! In a country where a large percentage were under the poverty line, where food, clothing and education was unaffordable by many, the fact that a cell phone was considered necessary for basic living was very intriguing to me.
This suggests that if we were to come up with a new Maslow hierarchy of needs the cell phone would find a place close to the base of the pyramid. So if you have food, clothing and a cell phone, perhaps you can do a lot!

Persepolis is the poignant story of a young girl coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine year old Marjane that we see a people's hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power - forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Clever and fearless, she outsmarts the social guardians and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden. Yet when her uncle is senselessly executed and as bombs fall around Tehran in the Iran/Iraq war, the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable.
As she gets older, Marjane's boldness causes her parents to worry over her continued safety. And so, at age fourteen, they make the difficult decision to send her to school in Austria. Vulnerable and alone in a strange land, she endures the typical ordeals of a teenager. In addition, Marjane has to combat being equated with the religious fundamentalism and extremism she fled her country to escape. Over time, she gains acceptance, and even experiences love, but after high school she finds herself alone and horribly homesick.
Though it means putting on the veil and living in a tyrannical society, Marjane decides to return to Iran to be close to her family. After a difficult period of adjustment, she enters art school and marries, all the while continuing to speak out against the hypocrisy she witnesses. At age 24, she realizes that while she is deeply Iranian, she cannot live in Iran. She then makes the heartbreaking decision to leave her homeland for France, optimistic about her future, shaped indelibly by her past.

Hi again
My mam, who was on Aricept, has now been given a prescription for a 5mg daily dose of Exiba instead. The doctor agreed to do this after assessing mam about a week ago.
On reading the leaflet that came with the medication, I realise that this should be stepped up to a gradually higher dose over the next month.
The doctor, however, has said that this cannot happen without mam having a blood test. Unless they can get blood from her she will not be able to increase the dose.
A nurse is coming tomorrow to attempt to take blood from my mam. (Whether they are successful is another matter.)
My question is - what is the blood test for? What is it testing for and why does this affect the dose that she's allowed to have?
Many thanks.

Global Day of Parents
With the UN having proclaimed 1 June to be the Global Day of Parents, COFACE-Disability wants to call special attention to the situation of parents of children with disabilities. Mothers, especially, have a difficult time as it is usually they who have to double up the job of parent with that of family carer.
It is a role that takes a toll on their personal lives, partner relationship, health and social life. It is also usually mothers who are faced with cutting down or stopping work, with the personal and financial impacts that brings (for the family in the immediate term, and for their pension later on).
The Global Day of Parents is a good time to maximize awareness about what learning to live with a disability can mean for a family, and to demand social solidarity that will give parents of a disabled child the same opportunities as others.
And above all, COFACE-Disability believes that parents must be given the choice to help their disabled child(ren) through outreach services providing appropriate assistance and support. Coface Disability argues, too, that recognition must be given to family caregiving through a range of measures for... Read the full press release

Five months after appointment as state inspector general, Glenn A. Cunha is moving to strengthen his office's power to compel witnesses to provide sworn testimony in investigations of waste, fraud, and abuse in state and local government agencies.
Cunha, a longtime prosecutor, last month without fanfare filed a bill with the Legislature that, if passed and signed into law, would significantly expand the powers of his office by giving it the unfettered right to question anyone under oath.
This is "it takes a village" Massachusetts. That means that the "village" has the power and makes things happen, for or against you as it may be. Now the "village" is in reality the "tribe", and the tribe is a curious mix of Irish and Italian Catholics, Protestant Yankee Puritans, illegal immigrants, and, as in anywhere around the world, many, many sheep (and, in the US, the sheep are often sure of themselves in reverse degree to which they are independent thinkers who can determine reality from the faux reality the politicos are trying to paint).
Where the tribe holds power and control over a more open system where the individual, not tribal Principles and Poobahs, is the focus and where the individual is respected, encouraged to act, and only sanctioned later if laws are transgressed, there is a greater need for structurally providing for independent voices.
"The inspector general's office has always had subpoena power since its creation in 1980. But an amendment passed in 1984 required the inspector general to get permission for subpoenas from an eight-member oversight panel that included, among others, the state attorney general, the state auditor, the state comptroller, and the state public safety secretary."
This is the tribe asserting its power over independent actors such that only those who get investigated are not the ones who have transgressed, but the ones who have lost (or never had) the protection of the tribe -- perhaps they crossed someone and simply did things with independence.
"I never believed in the concentration of power in one person," said Bellotti. In other words, he believed in concentration of power in the tribe.
"Prosecutors were always wary that defense attorneys might point to even minor discrepancies in what witnesses testified to before the inspector general's office and what they testified to before the grand jury to question the truthfulness and accuracy of witnesses against their clients at trial, Sullivan said."
Sounds true, but is a minor point compared to an additiona independent body doing investigations.
I find it past strange that the writer of this article would quote former Attorney General Belotti who not only pushed to contain the subpoena powers of the IG, but was also guilty of containing the ndotorious MBM scandal rather than pursuing its full complement of crooks. Belotti, you'll recall, after two state senators were convicted of using their office to extort payments from MBM, a state contractor, squashed the investigation when Senate President, Kevin Harrington, was discovered to have cashed a questionable personal check from MBM for $2,000. At the time, Belotti declared it was time to move on; a decision that smelled of old-time politics and political favors, just the things his office was empowered to fight.
Bellotti's right! Who made this Cunha a king? Reform the current board so they are available to hear requests for subpoena's. The AG should have final say using the Grand Jury. Kill this crazy bill!!!
Massachusetts' history of political corruption is routed in its one party control that has gerrymandered 40% of its population out of the ability to elect a true representative government, where honest voices could be heard. the IG's inability to question witnesses under oath, without the approval of those that maybe questioned, is a blatant example of this corruption. The silence every elected official to support this matter is despicable and evidence of their utter lack of integrity from the governor on down. The press needs to pin politicians to the wall on this issue and make their individual stances public, perhaps with a full page of their individual reasons for not supporting the IG request that can be pinned their foreheads.

The Limits to Constraint
THE SOURCE: "Environmental Alarmism, Then and Now" by Bjorn Lomborg, in Foreign Affairs, July–Aug. 2012.
Forty years ago, it would have been impossible to escape The Limits to Growth (1972). The report, issued by the Club of Rome, an international group of world leaders in business, government, and academia, argued that the depletion of economic, social, and environmental resources would lead the world economic system to collapse around 2010. That frighteningly persuasive vision helped the book sell more than 12 million copies in dozens of languages.
Now that the world is safely past its predicted expiration date, it's clear the authors got the story "spectacularly wrong," writes Bjorn Lomborg, the director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and author of The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001). Yet its influence abides. The book, Lomborg writes, "helped send the world down a path of worrying obsessively about misguided remedies for minor problems while ignoring much greater concerns and sensible ways of dealing with them."

// posted by Jessica in Shopping @ 5:55:56 pm - 2 Comments »I went to the mall after work today to find something to wear to those weddings next Saturday. Tried Proffitt's and Dillard's with no luck whatsoever. So I started just walking down the mall, seeing if anything would catch my eye. I was on my way to Sam Goody when I saw that B. Moss was having a 40% off sale on dresses. I thought, why not? So I went in. The people who worked there were super nice, and as soon as I picked up an item, they would go put it in a dressing room for me. I ended up getting a dress there, as well as a suit, a pair of pants, and a blouse. All on sale. Plus I got free gift certificates for the next time I shop there.
Also, it felt really nice out today. It was about 60 degrees out. But I wish someone would tell those teenagers that were walking around the mall that that is not an excuse to break out the halter tops and belly shirts. Sheesh. I must be getting old.
