Core Views:
While conflicts between various tribes and ethnicities were already ongoing in both countries, the descent into full-scale armed conflict in South Sudan has major negative implications for the two countries, significantly curtailing growth and weakening the external accounts.
The Sudanese economy will continue to operate well below potential in 2015 on account of restrained government spending, an unappealing investment climate and both domestic and regional insecurity. Â We predict that real GDP growth in 2015 will come in at around 3.8%. Â

South Sudan Autos
BMI View:
BMI View: Â Rising political unrest and insecurity across Sudan represent a growing threat to economic activity and autos sales in the country. We maintain our bearish forecast for Sudanese new car sales at just 6,890 new car sales in 2018, up slightly from 4,600 cars expected to be sold in 2014.
Rising political unrest and insecurity across Sudan will significantly disrupt economic activity over the coming quarters. High inflation will continue to weigh on headline growth and private consumption especially, while the ongoing crisis in South Sudan will see oil production stall. We predict that real GDP growth will register 2.0 % in 2014 and 4.3% in 2015, with risks weighted heavily to the downside.

BMI View: Sudan is almost wholly dependent on the import of military equipment and services. It sources considerable supplies of equipment from Russia and China, both of which are willing to furnish the regime with arms despite it being under a number of major international sanctions. A key driver behind the expansion of its military capabilities will remain the deteriorating situation in South Sudan and the ongoing violence between warring factions, opposition groups and Government authorities.
Sudan continues to be wholly dependent on the import of military equipment and services, sourcing considerable supplies from Russia and China.

BMI View: Â Â We have revised down our economic growth forecasts for Sudan in light of a deteriorating security situation. We are now forecasting real GDP growth of 2.0% and 4.3% in 2014 and 2015 respectively, down from 2.4% and 4.8% previously, and we caution that risks are weighted firmly to the downside. Private consumption will remain subdued over the coming months and we are forecasting a real terms increase of just 2.2% in 2014. While we expect private consumption growth to quicken in 2015, it will remain well below historical trend levels.
Conflicts in a number of states have displaced thousands of people, seriously disrupting normal economic activity and the ability of households to maintain their income levels.

BMI View:  We do not expect market conditions to improve drastically over 2015 in either Sudan or South Sudan. Conflict has drastically eroded what little investor confidence there was in the markets and as such we forecast volatile and poor growth for both countries over our forecast period. Oil flows between the two countries will be a vital source of revenue, although they remain highly vulnerable to any souring of relations. Â

BMI View:
BMI View: Â F ighting has derailed the country's fragile production recovery, adding further downside pressure to its bearish long-term production outlook. With the government claiming loose control of the major oil fields, output could start to revive within the quarter. However, given the fractured and volatile nature of the conflict and the heavy rebel presence in the oil-producing states, we anticipate more lasting production outages .

BMI View: Â T he pharmaceutical and healthcare markets of Sudan and South Sudan are forecast to see double -digit growth in local currency terms. The depreciating Sudanese pound results in forecast depreciation in US dollar terms. Planned expansion of pharmaceutical companies and increased funding for pharmaceutical manufacturers are seen as positive developments this quarter. Medicine shortages, high inflation, an increasing exchange rate and civil unrest will be seen as barriers to market growth.

The outlook for Sudan's power sector is moderate. The end of the civil war provides a window of opportunity for the country to exploit its hydrocarbons base and ample sunshine to develop a domestic generation capacity. Power generation in 2014 will increase by 3.0% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 7.2TWh and consumption will grow by 3.5% y-o-y to 5.6TWh. However, the commercial environment is hostile and continues to be dominated by the state-owned National Electricity Corporation, limiting the opportunity for investment.

This is an appalling film, and worth watching for that very reason. You'll struggle to buy a copy, and it probably isn't worth it, but in the UK we do get the occasional opportunity to see it on telly, so take them. This is a film with more ham than a Tesco deli counter, and Lee Majors, well, his own agent once described him as a 'somewhat limited actor'. The language - see my title, but to fully appreciate you'll have to hear the intonation in the movie itself, think Conan the Barbarian voiceovers - and the mock ritual and rite of Vikingness is hugely entertaining. Not unlike the sort of heavy metal that appeals to teenagers. Don't worry about history, it's irrelevant to this film - we all know the vikings must have been pretty sophisticated people, you'd have to be to conduct your trade from Teheran to St. Johns! And their business was arms and slaves, so they knew how to look after themselves. And this is not a film about sophisticated people. But the absolute star of this film is Jack Elam as the Death Dreamer, the wizard. The stereotypical shaman, Dr Samedi meets Don Juan meets Papa Lazarou. Honestly, folks, this movie is a hoot, but it is utter rubbish. If you want a quality viking flick, although again with questionable historical accuracy, go for The Vikings, with Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis and a brilliant Ernest Borgnine. At least you'll care about the characters.
I am sitting at home watching THE NORSEMAN on TV, trying to pick my incredulous chin up off the floor. This movie must be seen by film students so they can learn everything NOT to do in making a movie. For example: Lee Majors (THORVALD) and the boy playing his Norse son deliver arch dialog in southern American accents...The Caucasian looking Indians with perfect Herbal Essence hairstyles...and perfect teeth..(that tribe must have a really good dental plan) Lee Majors sports a late 1970's mustache and hair style...He probably was on hiatus from a series and refused to restyle his hair...The Max Factor warpaint on the Indians' faces...and the lack of "Light Egyptian" on their bodies...Irish actress, Kathleen Freeman, as an old Indian woman... The "ultra realistic" Canadian location (NOT!), complete with palm trees and Spanish Moss... How did they get the money to make this thing? Where can I get some for my films??? This film is like a train wreck....painful to watch but absolutely riveting in its awfulness. The only area that deserves praise is the cinematography...the exteriors look pretty good... the cinematographer must have picked up the gig to pay for a fishing expedition or a vacation to Hawaii... In the words of many a great Norseman, .....Oy Vey!!!
They could have at least tried to make this funnier if they weren't going to make it competently. But then this IS a Charles B. Pierce film, and a 'Fawcett-Majors Presentation' featuring Pierce's son, little Chuck, and starring Lee Majors as Thorvald. You can't expect much with that pedigree, but we're in John Wayne 'The Conqueror' territory here. C'mon now, Lee Majors as a viking? What were they thinking? And seeing as it stars the erstwhile Six-Million-Dollar Man, it pays homage to that series by including plenty of slow-mo action scenes. All you need is the now classic ditta-ditta-ditta electronic sound effects to go with the slow-mo and you've got a laugh riot. But there is plenty to laugh at, including Majors' 70's porno-style moustache (no beard like everyone else, he's THE STAR, but I suppose he was willing to cover his upper lip as a concession to history). Then there is Jack Elam as a norse sorceror (guess Slim Pickens wasn't available) and Deacon Jones as a black viking (Spike Lee would approve, although historians might disagree). For those outside the U.S., Jones was a football player, and the filmmakers, out of fairness, also cast a white ex-football player (Fred Biletnikoff) as a fellow norseman. There is also a pretty girl along for the ride in Susie Coehlo, although she spends too much time with a pair of blinded norsemen who sport some of the most unfortunate hairpieces you've ever witnessed. Thankfully for Cornel Wilde, he is so buried in hair that he is virtually unrecognizable and therefore, in one sense, he's not really in this movie. Unfortunately, Lee Majors IS in this movie, and worst of all, is the star. It's hard to tell which is more wooden, his ship or his acting. Yep, it's his acting. In fact, it's probably an inside game for casting agents to challenge each other to find a more wooden star than Majors. He's the champ! He could hire himself out as a Termite Whisperer. Needless to say, this junk is best avoided. You've been warned.
A treasure trove of anachronism, continuity errors and baaaaaaaaaad acting. So bad it's wonderful. Who knew there were black vikings, or that vikings wore wristwatches? A genuine treat. You'll laugh your butt off.
Isn't always sad to rediscover a memory from your childhood that you
treasured greatly, but then finding it as an adult, and not being able to
figure out how in the hell you possibly could have liked it in the first
place. That's how I felt upon seeing this movie a while back. I can recall
vividly when I went and saw this movie when I was ten, and my friends and
being blown away by it. In fact I saw it three times in one week. (no lie)
When I saw it last, I pondered how could I not have seen the FATAL
miscasting of Lee Majors. How I overlooked the black(!?) viking. Why did I
not conceive that the plot for this was so laughably stupid (Vikings vs.
American Indians). Sigh, it's a sad fact of life, the smarter you get, the
DUMBER you realize you were.
A bunch of cowboy actors playing viking. Poorly. Horrible dialog that a 6th grader could have written. Aromor is made of painted plastic and aluminum. You can even hear the sound of aluminum banging together in the fighting. The fighting also looks like staging for a 6th grade play. Vikings did not wear horned helmets by the way much less plastic ones. The white people playing Indians are dressed in loin cloths and as plains Indians. Quite strange and probably very cold for people who are supposed to be in NE Canada and Nova Scotia. Of course, the palms foliage is just as fitting. And to top it off Deacon Jones, a black man, is one of the vikings. It is insulting to everyone involved.
Beyond the bad monologue, the horrible dialog and craptastic hair, the cracker ass native Americans, plastic armor and the black viking...wtf? I did however find it amazing that this movie did have something in common with the star wars trilogy. As Jedi dueling are obliged to fall into bottomless pits if there are any near by, so are all warriors in this crapfest obliged to fall into water if it is within 200 yards. Oh..and blind people are wicked forest runners as long as they're led by rope. Oh wait...there's more....apparently Norse armor also could act as a emergency flotation device..I could go on and on....buts there's no point..even on percocet this movie is bad. The only thing that could have helped this mind numbing piece of garbage is a guest appearance by Lopan...
Writer/director Charles B. Pierce deceased a couple of months a ago at age 71. He may not have been the greatest cinematic genius who ever lived, but personally I really liked him. Pierce worked as a set decorator for multiple great movies and almost single-handedly made (wrote, produced & directed) a couple of cool modest classics in the horror genre, like "The Legend of Boggy Creek", "The Town that Dreaded Sundown" and "The Evictors". Particularly the latter two are terrific but sadly underrated gems with a raw atmosphere and great suspense. Rather than re-watching those classics in his honor, which is what we should have done instead, my mate and I watched something "different" from Charles B. Pierce A Viking movie with a truly cool-looking VHS cover and starring Lee "Six Million Dollar Man" Majors! How bad can it be? Well, "The Norseman" is tremendously bad, unfortunately, and that's a real shame because the basic premise showed so much potential. Charles B. Pierce's script departs from the existing theory that the Norsemen already reached the northern American shores approximately five hundred years before Christopher Columbus did (they named it Wineland) and came into violent conflict with the aboriginals. The idea of bloody battles and carnage between Vikings and Native Americans sounds awesome, but this film is a boring and ludicrous mess. A boat full of Norsemen led by the mighty Thorvald (Lee Majors I've never seen a cleaner and more properly shaved Viking) head towards America in search for their king Eurich, who went missing during a previous conquering trip. The king and several of his traveling companions were indeed captured by the Native Americans, and they are well prepared for any possible next encounters with intruders. Charles B. Pierce's screenplay for "The Norseman" is completely inaccurate and downright dumb! The Vikings supposedly were the most barbaric warriors in our history books, but here they behave like a bunch of terrified sissies. They drivel about courageous warfare and Northern Gods, but they accomplish absolutely nothing. In fact, it are the Native Americans that behave like the Norsemen ought to! They are the ones who enslaved and even blinded their Viking prisoners. The fight sequences are laughably weak and bloodless. The acting performances are all wooden and uninspired. The only half-decent performance comes from Jack Elam as the Death Dreamer. He's some kind of wizard who forewarns the Norsemen about upcoming dangers. The Vikings claim that nobody has ever seen his face, even though he walks around with his bearded face exposed the entire time. That, along with the fact there apparently existed black Vikings, is the low point of "The Norseman". "The Town that Dreaded Sundown" and "The Evictors" come with my highest possible recommendation, but play stay far away from this Charles B. Pierce turkey!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Norseman is about as historically accurate as Abe Lincoln defeating
the Nazis while riding a T-Rex. Charles B. Pierce's take on the Vikings
landing on an 11th century North America casts Lee Majors as six
million dollar norseman, or as he insists on pronouncing it norzeman,
Thorvald who takes his crew on a perilous quest to find out why his
father and his crew never returned from a far away land. If he fails
will the crew make him the fall guy? Sorry couldn't resist. After
landing in the Tampa/St. Pete neighborhood and mistaking it for
Newfoundland (happens all the time) Thorvald and his crew of mixed bag
warriors including two NFL hall of famers in Deacon Jones and Fred
Biletnikoff just so happen to land in not only the same spot as the
first crew but find the very Caucasian looking native Americans who
imprisoned them. What luck! A startling number of these natives are
overweight giving credence that maybe it wasn't wars or European
diseases that wiped out the Indians rather massive heart failures.
After consulting the ridiculous wizard that no one knows what his face
looks like except for the fact that in every scene you can clearly see
Jack Elam's googly-eyed mug, the vikings go out in search of where the
natives are holding the remaining survivors. With the help of a young
female squaw who's outfit is more adequate for lap dances rather than
rain, Thorvald and his crew fight the massive hordes of Indians, save
the old man, and high tail it back north minus a few brave souls that
lost their lives thanks to the dreaded arrow to the rear end.
Not surprisingly Lee Majors is about as convincing a Viking as Deacon Jones is. With his cheesy mustache and helmet that looks like an accessory for a Gothic S&M outfit, Majors' dry line-reading and lifeless performance had me rooting for the "badguys". It's amazing how advanced the Vikings pulley technology seems as they hoisted the sails for the great getaway. At this point in the film I was half hoping that they all boarded a 727 and flew home since believability went out the door as soon as Florida was mistaken for Canada. The film uses the same song over and over to the point where a Viking can't take a dump in the river without it blasting in the background. This is a hard film to find and one that rarely gets mentioned with any other of Charles B. Pierce's works. Little wonder why but nonetheless worthy of viewing if you can track this down just to see probably the most absurdly hokey Viking movie ever made.
Did you know it took FIVE men to edit this film? I don't think I've ever seen any other film with more than two, possibly three, credited editors. It's not surprising, though, considering what they had to work with. Take a wooden Lee Majors as the Six Million Dollar Norseman. Add in an asinine plot about a Viking vs. Native American war. Thicken and stir with the producer's son in a vanity role as a young Viking with all the acting ability of a lamppost, and sprinkle with Deacon Jones playing a black (yes, as in of African extract!!) Viking who got picked up on an earlier longboat jaunt. The result is surely one of the ten worst films ever to get a theatrical release, and that is no easy accomplishment. Your jaw will hang open in horror for the full 97 minute running time.

45% of Android users to upgrade to rival phone OSes

Surely the conclusion should be that (for example, in the HTC case) - 39% will stay with HTC, 55% * 61% = 33.55% will move to another Android manafacturer and 45% * 61% = 27.45% will move to another OS. And therefore, 72.55% of HTC users will stay with Android. The figures difer for different Android manafacturers. obviously.

New year, 'new' school in Locust Grove
When Orange County third-graders return to school this year, they will report to a "new" old building.
The previous Locust Grove Middle School on State Route 20, adjacent to Locust Grove Primary, will reopen as Locust Grove Elementary School, serving grades three through five as well as Head Start students.
The facility has been shuttered since 2011, when the new Middle School on Flat Run Road was opened.
That building has been serving both elementary and middle school children since, keeping the two groups isolated on separate floors. Keeping the two groups separated was a concern strongly voiced by parents when the school opened.
Officials have estimated that using the combined facility has saved the county some $750,000 over the past three years.
This year, however, as the student population grew too large to keep the older and younger students in their own separate areas, the School Board listed reopening the shuttered school as one of their top priorities.
Elementary principal Jesse Magruder noted that the reopened building will serve 400 to 500 students this year, including Head Start classes. The building, virtually identical in layout to Prospect Heights Middle in Orange, was designed to accommodate 750.
At an open house Aug. 15 to give students and parents the chance to visit and get acquainted with the school, Magruder said he was pleased with the reopened facility. "I am so thankful and happy to be in this building," he commented. "It is going to be a wonderful place for children, and we are ready to go."
School Board chairwoman Judy Carter, who was present for the open house, added, "I am so very, very excited. This is a wonderful day for the students of Orange County."
"When you walk in here," Carter added, "you hear the teachers saying, 'We are so glad to be home!' It is wonderful!"
Magruder credited many groups and individuals with making the reopening possible.
"Thanks to the Locust Grove community, the Orange County community, our School Board, our Board of Supervisors and the at-large community," he said. "You have hit a home run."
The students will arrive Thursday to meet their teachers, and school officially starts Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Canucks re-sign blue-liner Alex Edler to six-year deal
Vancouver SunPublished: Friday, January 18, 2013
The Vancouver Canucks were given a day off Friday, but defenceman Alex Edler was busy nonetheless as he signed a six-year contract extension for $30 million that will make him the highest paid defenceman on the team next season based on salary cap hit.
Edler, 26, is in the final year of a deal that pays him $3.25 million and he stood to become an unrestricted free agent on July 5, this summer's date for the opening of free agency.
Edler's cap hit of $5 million puts him above the $4.6 million cap charges of both Kevin Bieksa and Jason Garrison and Dan Hamhuis's $4.5 million.
Canucks defenceman Alex Edler had surgery in January 2011 because of a bulging disc. On Friday night the Canucks announced they had re-signed the Swedish blueliner to a six-year deal.
Ian LindsayEmail to a friendPrinter friendly
The contract calls for Edler to make $3.25 million in 2013-14, followed by $4.25 million in 2014-15 and then three years at $6 million before dropping back to $4.5 million in the final year, 2018-19.
"It's a tremendous thing for our club to have a player like Alex signed," said Canuck assistant GM Laurence Gilman, who is the team's chief negotiator. "He was the seventh highest scoring defenceman in the league last season, he plays nearly 24 minutes a game, he plays on the power play and kills penalties and he is only getting better. Alex has not yet reached the prime of his career.
"Having him signed means our defence is going to be stable for years to come."
With the salary cap dropping to $64.3 million next season, the Canucks may have to either trade Keith Ballard or exercise one of their two compliance buyouts in the summer as Ballard, who is fifth on the blue-line depth chart, still has two years remaining at $4.2 million.
Edler was drafted 91st overall by the Canucks in 2004 and broke into the NHL two years later. The native of Ostersund, Sweden, was discovered by Canuck scout Thomas Gradin playing in a glorified beer league.
Last season, Edler collected a career high 49 points on 11 goals and 38 assists. However, he had a poor first round in the playoffs against the Los Angeles Kings and committed some egregious mistakes that cost the Canucks goals and games.
In the 2010-11 season, Edler played just 51 games because of back surgery. His back was bothering him enough in September that the team decided to pay him and treat him and he was not locked out. He was finally cleared to play before Christmas.
According to Gilman, the team is not concerned that Edler's back woes will continue to be an issue.
"No, our medical staff was very involved in Alex's rehabilitation and we're confident he's going to be healthy throughout this deal," he said.
Since joining the Canucks, Edler has collected 43 goals and 184 points in 386 regular-season games. He has 27 points in 55 playoff games.

An apparently pleasure-less, purposeless region of the human body, but one that is nevertheless imbued with an aura of mystery because it is constantly covered up. A densley thicketed plateau, an oddly barren woodland, a useless, hilarious no man's land.

Desktop Windows Manager Session Manager not working properly
So basically my windows Aero theme is not working. I can change to different themes and they change the background and sounds but I cannot change the color of my windows color. When I click on the "Window Color" from the Personalization option in Task Manager it does not give me the regular option to change the window color and transparency. I get a pop-out screen that says "Window Color and Appearance" and changing the color from there does not do anything.
I have read other places and tried to restart the "Themes" option in the Services.exe but that does not help. Both the "Themes" and "Desktop Windows Manager" are started and run from the startup. However when I restart the "Desktop Windows Manager Session Manager" it fixes the problem only for a couple of seconds but reverts back to the broken problem. The color will change to what it's suppose to be but change right back.
I have a AMD Sapphire 7950 video card so I know it supports w/e features Windows has. I have the latest drivers from AMD and everything else works fine but this problem has persisted for a while now. Is this a hardware problem?
This only happens when I startup my computer. If I restart my computer after I see that the problem is there then the problem will be fixed and the Aero Theme is fine.
Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem.

Racial and ethnic discrimination are a daily reality for millions of people. This discrimination can take various forms: from denying individuals the basic principles of equality to fuelling ethnic hate. However, every one of us can play an important role in breaking down these attitudes by taking a stand to spread the word!
Organizations working against racism, xenophobia and discrimination
There are many organizations whose purpose is to combat racism, xenophobia and discrimination based on ethnicity, religious beliefs and skin colour. Some organizations work nationally, while others work in networks across borders.
At the transnational level one can find an organization like the European Network Against Racism (ENAR), a European-based network of non-governmental organizations in all EU Member States, as well as Croatia and Iceland. ENAR is the voice of its member organizations in Brussels and advocates on their behalf, and seeks to make a difference in a number of areas related to equality and anti-racism, migration and integration and social inclusion of ethnic and religious minorities in Europe.
Football Against Racism
UEFA and the FARE network (Football Against Racism in Europe) work together to spread a message of zero tolerance to any form of racism and discrimination. The FARE Action Weeks unite supporters, clubs, ethnic minorities and communities to make discrimination a thing of the past.
Whether you're part of a fan club, a football club, an ethnic minority organisation, or any kind of NGO in Europe you can apply for a small grant to set up your own activities during the Action Weeks. You can also download various materials to use in your events
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
On 21 March 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid in South Africa. Since then, the date has been declared by the United Nations as International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
Every year around this same time, the European-wide Action Week brings together people struggling against racism and racial discrimination. Your organisation or group can also join in and organise concerts or conferences, send protest letters to policy-makers or find other ways of voicing your opinion. Just contact UNITED to get all the material you'll need.

That's a different column. I remember that Reagan, too.
I agree with much of what you say on taxes and the current Republican orthodoxy. But many of us remember a Reagan much different from the myth - the man who invaded Grenada, gave arms to Iran to fund an illegal war in Central America, joked about starting WWIII, demonized poor people (renamed welfare queens), stopped enforcing civil rights laws and busted unions. Why not take on the myth more directly?
That's a different column. I remember that Reagan, too.
I didn't intend to be charitable to Reagan. I just meant to compare him to today's Republican leaders, who are far more doctrinaire and inflexible than even he was.
Democrats aren't embracing Reagan. I'm just pointing out that Reagan's record has more in common with that of today's Democrats than than of today's Republicans, who are on another planet.
1. Comparing PATCO and SEIU is ridiculous.
2. Ditto on comparing the Soviet Union (posed an existential threat to the U.S.) and Iran (does not.)
3. Thatcher and Israel? Your reach for comparisons is beyond your grasp, I think. Why not compare Reagan and Obama on Israel? I'd probably argue that Reagan admin was tougher on our ally.
4. You mean, would Reagan have proposed comprehensive health care reform and sought to cover the tens of millions of uninsured? Would he have found the status quo to be a national disgrace? No. Got me there.
5. Only if there was a big oil spill.
6. I'm not sensing a lot of panic right now among Democrats -- and certainly not at the White House.
I disagreed with Reagan on just about everything. What I do acknowledge is that he had a huge impact on American politics, for better or worse. He moved the country to the right, and what we need to do now is move it back.
I think President Obama's chances would be excellent if the election were held today. In polls, he beats all his potential GOP opponents.
If he didn't know the significance of going to Philadelphia, Mississippi, and proclaiming support for "states' rights," then shame on him. I think he did know, and I know that people in his campaign knew.
Painful for me, too. But listen to the way Democrats talk now, remember how they talked 30 years ago, and you'll realize how successful Reagan was at shifting our political discourse to the right. What I find amazing is that today's Republican Party is so extreme that Reagan, I believe, wouldn't recognize it.
Come on, you know the only reason you're latching on to Reagan is because Obama is trying to emulate him for a reelection strategy. Why else would you chose now to attack one of the pillars of conservatism?
Um, because I'm not exactly a conservative? And because I consider pillars of conservativism worthty of rhetorical attack pretty much any day of the week?
Thanks. He raised taxes a lot in California, because the situation called for tax hikes. The same was true when he was in the White House (following his big initial tax cut, of course). Somebody tell John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
In my memory, the secretary of state who was toughest on Israel, in my estimation, was James Baker. Our alliance with Israel will continue, for a host of good reasons. But we've been unable to convince the Israelis to make a fair deal with the Palestinians, and I don't know why the prospect of instability (read: democracy) and perhaps Islamism in neighboring countries would make a deal any more likely.
Because Reagan, in the end, governed in a way that showed faith in the power of government to make a positive difference in people's lives. I don't think that's part of the Tea Party credo.
I've got news for you. The Cold War is over, and so is the system of bipolar stability and client states that the Cold War enforced. New economic and military powers have risen. There was a time when we could spend enough on arms to bankrupt the Soviet Union; now, we're spending far more than we can afford and threaten to bankrupt only ourselves. Anyone who does not recognize reality as it is, not as it was, could certainly be called, um, naive.
Thanks for reminding everyone that Ronald Reagan did, in fact, grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Those who want to claim Reagan's mantle should have to claim it all.
Ugh indeed. Your brother-in-law should turn off the TV and pick up a history book.
All of that is true. I do think, though, that his refusal even to say the word AIDS for so long was appalling.
I don't think you mentioned this in the column, but Reagan was also important to the defeat of the Briggs Initiative in California, which would have banned gays and lesbians from working as public school teachers. Yet today, we have someone like Jim DeMint who has stated he wants to get rid of such teachers (as well as unwed women who are sexually active)!
My point exactly. Reagan's views were far-right, but at least they fell on the spectrum. The views of today's Republicans (like DeMint) are from another planet, or maybe a parallel universe.
Reagan knew when to fold his hand, as with the withdrawal from Lebanon. Imagine if that decision had been made by a Democrat...
In my ranking of presidents, no, Reagan does not rank highly. On homelessness, though, I have to point out that much of the increase was an unintended byproduct of deinstitutionalization. The idea was to close Bedlam-like state mental institutions and send people to community-based care, but the system of community care was never really established -- and a lot of people ended up on the streets. Then there was the crack epidemic, too.
I won't point out that Republicans occupied the White House for more of that period of non-enforcement. I'll just assert, confidently, that no president -- no president, period -- is going to try to track down and deport 11 million illegal immigrants. Not going to happen. Let's get over it and see if we can do it right this time.
Al-Qaeda is evil but not stupid. Bin Laden has boasted of luring the United States into expensive wars that sap our resources and inspire recruits to sign up for jihad.
If the GOP is to survive long-term, it will.
Folks, my time is up for today. Thanks for dropping in, and I'll see you again next week.

Chalked Up
My Life in Gymnastics
Fanciful dreams of gold-medal glory led Jennifer Sey to the local gymnastics club in 1976. A natural aptitude and a willingness to endure punishing hard work took her to the elite ranks by the time she was eleven years old. Jennifer traveled the country and the world competing for the U.S. National team, but the higher she set her sights—the world championships, the 1988 Olympics—the more she began to ignore her physical and mental well-being. Jennifer suffered devastating injuries, developed an eating disorder, and lived far from family and friends, all for the sake of winning. When her parents and coaches lost sight of her best interests, Jennifer had no choice but to redefine her path into adulthood. She had to save herself.
Chalked Up delivers an unforgettable coming-of-age story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt not good enough and has finally come to accept who they were meant to be.less

A three-hour travel from Bacolod to Sagay City urged me to wake up before sunrise. It was only 4am yet I already found myself waiting at the bus terminal with my bag and my ringing phone. I was going to Sagay City for the first time and we were ready for an adventure of crossing the Inangtan Hanging Bridge.
We caught the sunrise while on our way to Sagay City. Inangtan Bridge is specifically located in Barangay Maquiling, Sagay City, Negros Occidental. We need to travel so early in order to maximize our time. Here's our own way of reaching the Inangtan Hanging Bridge.
Bacolod Northbound Terminal to Sagay Bus Terminal
- We took a Ceres bus via Escalante City
Sagay Bus Terminal to Barangay Dian-ay, Escalante City
- We had to stay at a friend's house in Barangay Dian-ay for a while to leave our things and prepare ourselves for the hike.
Barangay Dian-ay to Inangtan Hanging Bridge
- Habal-habal or motorcycle is the usual means of transportation there. Good thing, our friend's brother had a motorcycle so we did not need to hire one.
The Motorcycle Ride
Honestly, I have a huge phobia on motorcycles. Our destination was a few kilometers away so I had no choice but to face my fear. I was at the middle, holding close to the one driving the vehicle. Good thing my Tita Chang was at my back to keep me calm. Funny though but I can never imagine myself nervously riding on a motorcycle while wearing a skirt.
Instead of noticing my shaking legs, I began to take a deep breath and appreciate the nature's beauty along the way. A motorcycle ride in this place is far more different than that of the city. No big buildings, no smoke belching and they even have no traffic lights. Honestly, it was just my third motorcycle ride in my entire life and I realized that it was actually fun. Holding close, it seemed that I was seeing a painting that came to life as I inhale real fresh air.
The Hike
We need to hike before we reach the hanging bridge. We enjoyed walking on a soft and fertile ground. I even decided to take off my slippers so I could walk as fast as my Tita Chang and our two other friends.
They residents we met along the way were cheerful enough to greet good morning though I know that they already took a very long walk from their homes going to the highway. Some of them were bringing a basket of vegetables, a few kilo of rice, fish and even a sack of charcoal.
The Hanging Bridge Experience
The sound of the rushing water signifies that we were near to our destination. After a short trek, we had finally reached the Inangtan Hanging Bridge. Only a few people could have gone into this remote place. It was amazingly perfect.
Before deciding to cross the hanging bridge, we enjoyed taking photos with a huge rock formation beside the riverbank without minding the heat of the sun. The silent water and the reddish colored rocks beautify the area.
The hanging bridge was just above the wide and calm Himogaan River. A combination of bamboo, steel and rope were carefully built to connect the two areas separated by the river. Only one person can fit with its width. Carefully crossing a seemingly unsecured hanging bridge for the first time was indeed an adventurous experience for me.
It really takes a lot of courage to finally reach the opposite end. Tita Chang, who was the last person to do the dare walked slowly but surely. She said that she was somewhat afraid of the winds that cause the bridge to move. It was not her first time to cross Inangtan Hanging Bridge yet our eyes were all set to her. With a little encouragement from the daring us, she had strongly crossed the bridge once more.

He was only 20 when he joined the army and fought in World War II.
But now a Coloma man is finally getting a Bronze Star that was given to him more than sixty years ago.
Monday morning Congressman Fred Upton presented the Bronze Star to Anthony Sineni. A large group of fellow veterans and family and friends gathered to watch.
Sineni joined the army when he was 20 and served as a medic during the Battle of the Bulge.
Another family member in the military contacted Upton's office hoping Sineni could be honored after his bronze star was lost more than 60 years ago.
"So many folks when they get out of the service… they just want to get home, want to see their family and want to go back to their job and possibly forget about that chapter overseas," says Congressman Upton. "In this case he sent his medal back, a bronze star, 68 years ago and it got lost in the mail."
Congressman Upton's office was contacted on behalf of another member of Sineni's family. A cousin is also serving in the military and found out about what happened and wanted to see Sineni get his medal.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? are a British electronic/rock band from Reading, Berkshire. Formed in 2006, the current lineup consists of JAMESDANROBMATTCHLOE, or James Rushent (vocals, guitar), Dan Coop (synthesizer), Rob Bloomfield (drums), Matty Derham (guitar, synthesizer, previously of the band Fields), and Chloe Duveaux (bass, formerly of the band Elle Milano). The band has only changed its lineup once, as their former guitarist Morgan Quaintance left the band in 2009.Named after a line Ricky Gervais said in an episode of the UK version of The Office, DIOYY (as they are commonly known) are known for their loud and energetic live shows and their style, which can switch to Daft Punk-esque electronica to simple acoustic rock in no time flat, as can be seen here. Their most famous song, "We Are Rockstars", was used in the trailer for Fast And Furious in 2009. In addition, the band's songs have also been used in stuff from an episode of Chuck to the 2010 version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit to an episode of Gossip Girl to the 81st Academy Awards. You might've heard their songs before, even if you don't know who the band is.The band has released two albums (as of 2011):

My passion and purpose is guiding you home; body, self and soul.
I help you rediscover the power, wisdom and joy in your own body as a source of deep personal healing and restorative transformation – giving you the tools you need to thrive and grow, and to live each year more radiantly than the last!
I know the path of transformation well, because I've walked it myself. I spent my younger years struggling with body image issues and dysfunctional eating, striving for a "perfection" that didn't actually exist. My self-esteem was tied up in my appearance and how I thought other people saw me. But two major life experiences helped me to change my perspective, and, eventually, to devote myself to helping others "come home".
The first change happened when I was 16. With no warning, I suddenly, shockingly, lost my father. I turned to dance to deal with my grief, and the experience was profoundly powerful. Dance and movement helped mend my broken heart and soul, and I have remained in awe of their amazing healing powers ever since. I went on to become an internationally acclaimed explorative dance & movement facilitator, and continue to share the incredibly transformational gift of dance with people all over the world.
Still coping with the loss of my father at such a young age, my world was rocked again a few years later when I was diagnosed with infertility. I felt betrayed by my own body. How could I feel complete as a woman if I was unable to fulfill what I thought was my destiny: childbirth and motherhood? And if that was truly not my destiny, what was?
I was shattered — but also determined to survive and thrive. So I searched for my embodied power through years of sensual, emotional, and intuitive self inquiry and training. I became devoted to helping others and VividExistence was born, and later Vividly Woman, as paths for men and women to find their way home.
I've had the privilege of working internationally with thousands of people as a group facilitator, embodiment mentor, teacher of yoga, Nia, Trancedance, Dancing Freedom and keynote speaker. My passion for embodied power has now expanded into the arena of conscious eating as spiritual practice and aging with grace and radiance. Leading detox retreats and detox coaching is my next adventure that complements my devoted service for awakening on all levels.
I'm honored to have received the sacred calling of leading men & women back home to our bodies as a path to greater intimacy, vitality and life fulfillment. When I'm not traveling and enjoying beautiful people and gorgeous nature— I'm dancing through life with my amazing husband and our red bone coonhound in Mexico or Washington State!

iPhone app tells you if you have skin cancer in seconds
Nobody wants skin cancer. Nobody wants cancer — period. But you can't beat cancer if you don't know if you have it or not. Fortunately, there's an app that can detect if you have skin cancer or not.
DermoScreen is an iPhone app by a George Zouridakis, a professor of engineering technology at the University of Houston, that's been in development since 2005. The app is about as simple as you can imagine: in conjunction with a dermoscope attachment, you take a pic of your skin (a mole, lesion, etc.), and the software will tell you if you might have skin cancer within seconds.
The app has an 85 percent accuracy rate according to Zouridakis, which is on par with what a biopsy will give you. Sure, the dermoscope itself is a hefty $500 add-on, but the peace of mind you'll have knowing if that brown mole with the hair growing out of it is actually cancerous or not makes it worth it.
This isn't the first time we've seen a cancer-detecting iPhone gizmo. Back in 2011, Harvard and MIT scientists developed a $200 handheld scanner that used antibodies and magnetic particles extracted from a patient to test for cancer cells. The scanner had a 96 percent accuracy rate, but it also took about an hour to get results. The DermoScreen app only takes seconds. However, it is limited to scanning for melanomas.
The promise of cancer-detecting gizmos has the potential to give millions of people a way to detect early signs of multiplying skin cells. The biggest problem with cancer is that so many people don't even know they have it until its too late. Zouridakis has been given a $412,500 grant to explore other uses for his cancer-sniffing app. In the future, it could screen for Buruli ulcer a bacterial disease that eats your flesh.
Or you can just lock yourself indoors like a vampire and avoid skin cancer altogether. Yeah, that'll work…
