Unfinished Business
For 65 years, Japanese corporations have escaped responsibility for abusing American POWs during World War II.
Lester Tenney entered World War II as a strapping 21-year-old, weight 180 pounds. By the time he emerged from Japanese captivity in 1945, he was a shattered, emaciated cripple. His left arm and shoulder were partly paralyzed due to an accident in a coal mine where he'd been sent as a slave laborer. His overseers there -- civilian employees of the Mitsui Corp., not members of the Imperial Army -- had knocked out his teeth in repeated beatings with hammers and pickaxes. At war's end, he weighed in at 98 pounds. It took him a year in U.S. Army hospitals to regain something like a semblance of his old well-being.
Sixty-five years later, Tenney and his fellow ex-prisoners of war (POWs) -- the rapidly diminishing group of those who remain alive, that is -- are still awaiting the full fruits of victory. The Japanese companies that once abused Tenney and his fellow prisoners have never acknowledged responsibility for their crimes, let alone offered compensation or regrets of any kind. (The companies needed the POWs to compensate for a wartime labor shortage.) The Japanese government has only just begun to offer its regrets for what happened -- far too late for most of the veterans, but, still, something. Perhaps most depressingly of all, the U.S. government has spent years allowing the Japanese to get away with it -- a policy of complicity that has its roots in the two countries' complex postwar relationship. There are signs that this, too, may finally be changing. Hope never dies, as they say.
I was reminded of all this recently, when the story popped up again. Most Americans, I suspect, have never heard about this rather depressing tale -- which brings us to yet another set of culprits: the media. I must count myself among those responsible in this particular group. A few years ago I was the Tokyo bureau chief for one of the big American news magazines. I met Tenney in Japan and accompanied him as he spoke to Japanese school classes, and watched as he got his story out to the new generation. But I wasn't able to interest my editors in the story. It wasn't anything nefarious on their part. They just weren't terribly interested in Japan, and even less so in tales about Japan's bad behavior during the war. Surely that was well-trodden ground -- hadn't I ever seen The Bridge On the River Kwai?
I can't entirely blame them, I guess. Forget, for a moment, the fact that an extraordinary 40 percent of the Allied POWs in Japanese hands never came back. Forget the fact that those who survived suffered from the highest rates of "combat fatigue" -- what we would today call post-traumatic stress disorder -- of all of America's World War II veterans. Forget the fact that selling the prisoners to some 60 different Japanese companies represented a crass violation of the laws of war -- and that the way they were treated while working for the companies contravened the Imperial Army's own guidelines. Forget the fact that Chinese and Korean prisoners and forced laborers are still pressing (unsuccessfully) to have their claims recognized by Japanese courts. It was all a long time ago.
There's another problem. This happens to be one of those stories that come wrapped in the myriad legal and political subtleties that tend to accompany explorations of sins committed by governments in the past. In this case, for example, you have to do a bit of explaining about the peculiar history of the U.S.-Japan alliance. In 1951, as the Cold War was burning red hot in Korea, Washington realized that it needed a renascent Japan as its bulwark against communist designs on the Far East, and signed a set of agreements designed to wind up wartime claims and ensure Tokyo's loyalty to the Western camp in the decades to come. In one of those documents the Japanese agreed to let the Americans station troops on their territory, while in another -- the San Francisco Peace Treaty -- the Americans agreed to give the Japanese a pass on reparations. Article 16 of the treaty obligated the Japanese to pay a token amount to the International Red Cross "for the benefit of former prisoners of war" -- but the text carefully avoided describing the payment as "compensation," which might have created a precedent. No further claims by POWs would be recognized.
The former U.S. prisoners themselves never got anything from Japan -- and certainly not what they craved most, which was an official acknowledgment of the savage treatment that had been meted out to them not only by the Imperial Army in its prison camps, but also by the dozens of companies that used captured soldiers as laborers. (None of the companies ever paid the men for their work at the time, it should be noted.) It was not until 1995, under Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama, that Japan offered its first, unequivocal official apology for Japan's wartime conduct. Over the years the Australian, British, Canadian, Dutch, and New Zealand governments managed to convince the Japanese that it would be in their interest to offer the ex-prisoners a gesture of goodwill. So Tokyo proceeded to invite ex-prisoners from those countries back to Japan on all-expense-paid trips -- an odd form of ersatz apology.
But the American POWs were left out -- and their own government was shockingly eager to leave it at that. Raison d'état -- in this case, the priority of keeping the U.S.-Japan alliance running smoothly -- trumped justice. "The Americans have been almost a hundred percent complicit in this," says Mindy Kotler, a Washington-based Japan expert who works for the think tank Asia Policy Point. "They allowed the Japanese to not be accountable. They've given them a pass on the same values we hold dear."
When the U.S. survivors tried to push the Japanese to offer them similar treatment, the U.S. State Department sat on its hands -- as did many in Congress. Tenney testified before Congress on numerous occasions, but bills demanding action on the ex-prisoners' behalf inevitably died in committee, torpedoed by lawmakers eager to avoid tensions with Tokyo. The stillborn legislation included one measure that would have paid each surviving POW a one-off sum of $15,000 in acknowledgment of their wartime suffering. "Our Congress and our senators did a lousy job," says Tenney. (He then hastens to offer praise for the few who have stood up for the vets, naming Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.). When the veterans tried to sue the Japanese companies that once exploited their labor, the U.S. Supreme Court didn't even deign to consider their cases. (State and Justice Department officials actually filed briefs opposing the veterans' claims in the lower courts on the grounds that they disturbed the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty.)
At least we can finally talk about a bit of progress. Last year the Japanese parliament, the Diet, quietly issued an apology that finally included references to the POWs -- one that amounts to official recognition of Japan's moral responsibility for the prisoners' wartime suffering. And in May of last year the Japanese ambassador to the United States, Ichiro Fujisaki, offered an apology of his own, echoing the 1995 government declaration, at a San Antonio gathering of some of the surviving American prisoners. Not all of the Americans were mollified, though Tenney says that the ambassador's sally "took a lot of courage," given the bitterness among some of the veterans. And now even the folks at Foggy Bottom seem to be coming around. Within the past few months, the Japanese have offered to invite some of the remaining POWs over for visits, and U.S. diplomats have been working with officials in Tokyo to make it happen. So far the sum of money involved -- $180,000 -- is pitiable, only enough for a mere seven men (plus caregivers and spouses). But even that small effort represents a break with a shameful past.
And the companies? "They've never offered one dime," says Tenney. "Never an apology." It's actually hard to see what would prevent them from doing so -- other than the shame of acknowledging their responsibility for acts committed long ago. The ex-prisoners' demands certainly don't represent any economic threat. (The company that exploited Tenney's labor, Mitsui, is today one of the world's biggest corporations -- it owns a 10 percent stake in the drilling operation that is currently hemorrhaging oil into the Gulf of Mexico -- and its website offers an elaborate declaration of its affirmation of human rights.) And Tenney insists that it's not money he and his comrades are after -- just a proper apology from corporate Japan. You'd think that wouldn't be so hard to come by. But you would be wrong.

Thundercat Reveals Flying Lotus-Produced LP
By Tom Breihan on June 9, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
The bass-playing Los Angeles native Stephen Bruner, who records as Thundercat, has had a truly varied career. He's done session and tour work for people like Snoop Dogg and Eric Benet, he's been a member of a boy band that scored a hit in Germany, and he's played with mookish hardcore legends Suicidal Tendencies. (Actually, he's still a member of Suicidal Tendencies.) Last year, Thundercat contributed to Cosmogramma, the spaced-out bass music masterwork from Flying Lotus. And on August 30, FlyLo's Brainfeeder label will release Thundercat's solo album The Golden Age of Apocalypse-- produced entirely by FlyLo.
Video: DJ Quik: "Nobody [ft. Suga Free]"
By Tom Breihan on June 8, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. EDT
DJ Quik's new video for "Nobody", a sunny track from his BNM'ed The Book of David album, seems beamed in straight from 1998. Everything about the clip-- the production values, the half-naked video chicks, the pool, the car, the magnificent coiffures of both Quik and guest pimp-rapper Suga Free-- could've come from rap videos' baroque era rather than the current no-budget YouTube reality. And as a special bonus, the long instrumental fade-out gives Quik and Suga Free an opportunity to bust out some silly dance moves. Daniel Czernilofsky directs, and depending on your workplace's policy on half-naked video chicks, it could be just ever so slightly NSFW. Watch the video below, via Nah Right.
James Franco Teams With DJ /rupture for New EP
By Tom Breihan on June 7, 2011 at 2:15 p.m. EDT
Kalup and Franco is the duo of Kalup Linzy, a video/performance artist who frequently performs in drag, and James Franco, an Oscar-nominated movie star (127 Hours, Spider-Man) who has quickly become one of Hollywood's biggest weirdos. The partnership formed after Franco invited Linzy to perform on "General Hospital" during Franco's stint on the soap opera, and they've since become a performance duo and a musical act. On July 12, they'll release their debut EP Turn It Up on Dutty Artz, the label co-founded by the globe-trotting, genre-mashing theorist DJ /rupture.

It's always nice to see synth-damaged solitary bedroom recording types find each other.
Singer/songwriter/harpist Pat Grossi, who records as Active Child, will release his 10-song debut full-length You Are All I See on August 23, via Vagrant. One of the album's 10 tracks features unmistakable guest vocals from a kindred spirit: Chicago-based R&B warper Tom Krell, better known as How to Dress Well. Hear that song, "Playing House", above.
New M83 Album to Feature Zola Jesus
By Tom Breihan on June 6, 2011 at 2:35 p.m. EDT
M83 main man Anthony Gonzalez is hard at work on the follow-up to 2008's gorgeous synthpop effort Saturdays=Youth. Last year, he told Pitchfork a bit about it: "For now, the direction of the album is very, very, very epic. Very orchestrated. I feel like it's a mix of all my albums, actually." And now Gonzalez has told Spin a few more details. The new one is due in October, it'll be a double album, and it'll feature a collaboration with Zola Jesus-- someone who knows from huge-sounding, evocative synth music.

City Museum Plants Forest on Third Floor
By Aimee Levitt
Yes, there are fancier places: the Jones Dome, Savvis Center, Busch Stadium. But there's nothing like the Family Arena for a low-key good time. We fell in love with this place last winter when motorcycle racing on ice came to town. Beer prices were about half what you'd pay the bigger places, and exhaust fumes and a few Buds combined to produce a most pleasant buzz, especially in the cozy confines of the Family. Parking is a snap. Ushers, and there are plenty of them, are polite and helpful. And you won't go broke. A family of four can easily enjoy a night out for well under $100. Although you won't see Major League Baseball players soaked in steroids or the Blues tank yet again in the playoffs, the Family Arena offers indoor football and minor-league hockey. Players appear grateful when they're asked for autographs. It's sports as it should be: just for the fun of it.

"MI friend edited it 4 me. You're the best, Darry!"jo Bekke At Hugwrts is a Harry Potter fanfic "written" by Jo belle/Jo bekke/Jo bel. (The author is having problems spelling her own name.) The fanfiction is about Harry's twin sister, Jo Belle Susie Lilly Potter, who learns she's a witch after she murders her uncle and then revives him by "wavd mi hnd" (waving her hand, for those who can't understand her horrid grammar and spelling). Also it's claimed that people have been commiting suicide after reading the story (probably not, but you get the idea).Even the writer of My Immortal stated that this must be the worst fanfic of all time. Well, even trolling has its standards.The fanfiction is reposted here, along with her lesser known, but just as racist and bigoted, other fics.There's another version of this fanfic here.An MST version of the fanfiction is recommend if you don't want to lose your brain cells, and a good MST would be hereCompare Da Ivy Cuvrd Wals Uv Higwsrts (the author, with whom, real Jo was friends).Compare and contrast My Immortal.

Give your support for Luke Bryan great works on Crash My Party (Deluxe Version) mp3 albums with purchase the original copies. Share this mp3 album with your friends.
Luke Bryan grew up in the very small town of Leesburg, Ga. Back home, he helped his father with his peanut and fertilizer businesses while playing sports and enjoying the great outdoors. Yet he can remember his mother urging him to belt out George Strait songs over and over while she drove him into town to shop. By age 14, his parents bought him an Alvarez guitar. By 15, his father would take him down to a nearby club, Skinner's, where he shared guitar licks and lead vocals with other local country singers.
At age 16, two local songwriters who'd enjoyed some success providing tunes for Nashville artists invited him to join their twice-a-week writing sessions at a local church. By that time, Bryan led his own band, playing at Skinner's and various community events.
Encouraged by everyone who heard him play, Bryan planned to move to Nashville after high school graduation. Supported by his family, he was loading his car for the move when tragedy struck. His older brother Chris, Bryan's biggest supporter and one of his best friends, was killed in an auto accident the day Bryan was to leave town.
He continued to devote himself to music, finding escape and emotional release in its songs. He poured his feelings into his songwriting, and after enrolling in Georgia Southern University, Bryan and his band would perform nearly every weekend on campus or at nearby clubs or parties. He eventually recorded an album of 10 songs, nine of which he'd written.

"The best skis on earth. They make what you want and they make them perfectly."
Colby is a triple X-Games medal winner, and one of the superstars in the field of freestyle skiing. Other than a lot of his competitors, Colby is speaking out to more than just the hardcore freestyle market – this is to most part due to his character and talent, that he shows whenever you turn the camera on. SKIING magazine just titled him "ski industry's funny man". KÄSTLE is developing with Colby James West her first freestyle line, with its launch in December 2011.
Details about Colby James West
Skiing Background:
Started skiing around age 13 with my school, but started jumping at age 16. Did the race program at school, but did half the races backwards and skipped most practices to jump in the park. Left college at age 19 to try my hand at the contest circuit and it worked out pretty well. Been enjoying making fun videos and doing pipe and slope contests ever since.
Biggest success:
3 X Games medals, a US Open Big Air win, and 4 years of filming segments with MSP, Warren Miller, Level 1, and SAS Films.
The spirit of skiing:
Skiing is about fun. It never loses its magic.
The most risky experience:
Heli skiing in Switzerland. That was scary. I admire the big mountain boys. They have no fear, it seems.
The most painful experience:
Being injured and watching my friends compete.
The ultimate day on the mountain:
Sun, slushy snow, and a perfect 90 foot jump.
What goes throught your head before dropping a big face/ doing a trick?
Mostly adrenaline and complete focus on the what I am about to do. It's important to picture exactly what you want to have happen. If I can't see my trick or line completely unfolding in my head, then I can't do it.
Three reasons why KÄSTLE:
When I signed on with Kastle, I had no doubt that they were going to make the best twin-tip skis money could by. They have a great technical team and a wonderful drive to make skiing better.
What do you do in summer?
Ski! New Zealand, water ramps,
Role models/ Idols that inspire you?
Pep Fujas, James Woods, Simon Dumont, and Tom Wallisch. I love watching those guys ski. They make it look so easy! Shane McConkey was and still is my favorite comedic skier.
Soccer, frisbee, and writing. I also enjoy doing impressions and voice overs.

This one is quite sad as well.
Unwin Hobbit Paperback with Facisimile Signature
The seller does not believe that this book has a facisimile signature because "(i personally am not convinced as it seems the only people who advise about these books are also the people that sell them for thousands and thousands of dollars!)" i.e. an X-files conspiracy theory to make out that the book is not signed when it is.
Hopefully any potential buyer will read Beren's or Deagol's website and work out that they are talking nonsense or they may notice the same book book from other sellers all described as having a facisimile signature.

Re: Children of Hurin movie discussion continues
Just popping in

From SoCal, USA
I strenuously agree with Alpingloin!
After being hideously scarred by the animated Hobbit travesty in the 70's (shown to my 5th grade class at school - I put up a fuss and was excused 20 minutes in) I swore never to see Tolkien on film again. So many people insisted that I simply MUST see Fellowship, even knowing of my objection, that when somebody bought me a ticket and told me I was going, I went (fully expecting to have to walk out in disgust). To my vast relief, I was wrong; in my view, the movies were not the book, but a beautiful cinematic work, which didn't make complete hash of the book or mar my perception of it in a significant way. Probably the exposure, multiple awards, and resulting consumer frenzy didn't hurt any. Maybe. But -
Tolkien intended these writings to be a singular experience for each reader. Specifics were purposefully left open to interpretation, to be drawn by the imagination and from the past experiences of each person. I like my own images, of Beleriand and the elves of the first age in particular. I do not believe they can be improved upon, and they might be altered beyond recovery by another interpretation. I would not want to see cinematic representations of the first or second ages, lovely or not, and I feel very strongly that it would be a terrible disservice to the next generation of readers to create complete backgrounds for them through all the ages of Middle-Earth. May they let it rest - at least for 20 years or so - and let us each keep our own little piece of Middle-earth.

Oh crumbs... I wrote a reply to this a few days back, but I guess the server kicked it. Here's a quick attempt at reproducing it...
Thanks for the reply!
That wiki was the source used to come to the conclusion that it was a 14th - I should have qualified my statement to say that it conforms in all measurable respects... it's library bound. All the identifiers are missing, altered, or not unique to a 14th - except for page 315. It's not my usual collection purchase, but I just couldn't leave it sitting there...
Like I said, I'm pretty sure... but my thought was to compare it to the next printing, which is known not to have a frontispiece, and if no inconsistencies exist I would feel certain. Perhaps an American printer is credited in 15-17, or the measurement on page 315 is definitive..? Anybody know?

Oh how fun!
My reading copy of The Hobbit is a Book Club 50th Collector's Edition - this is really only read out loud to kids, so I wanted something that looks very special (but isn't really).
I completely thrashed my dad's early 70's Lord of the Rings paperbacks as a teenager, stole them when I moved out, and finally passed what was left of them on a few years ago. Now it's an early US 2ed. set - which I love for the great gold lettering on the spines, and the Eyes of Sauron in colored foil to match the topstain. The covers look great but there are no jackets and other flaws - I have another set of these that are not read, though really I think the readers look better on the shelf - what was up with the awful jackets on those gorgeous books, anyway?
Maybe I'm an oddball in the collecting world - I read hardcovers, and most of my reading copies of other Tolkien titles are first printings that were just like new when purchased (I can hear you cringing ). The reason really is that my collection is less about age, rarity or market value and more about attractive presentation...

My parents had a set of '60s US hardcovers that I grew up reading. I picked up a set of paperbacks (the same 50th anniversary black paperbacks you've pictured, Gondor, with the Michael Herring artwork) in '87 and read them to death (though I do think I have them around here somewhere still). Now when I re-read I grab a set of paperbacks from the garage - it is interesting to read the various different editions, though I've never read closely enough to pick up on the minor changes amongst the various Ballantine editions, for example. I still get a warm fuzzy feeling going back and reading one of the blue cloth hardcovers, though...
In regards to the Michael Herring art - I was offered the original artwork back about a year ago (it is still available online if you dig a little bit) and found myself feeling not at all interested. My least favorite of the Ballantine paperback artwork, and I was quite surprised at how long they lasted...

Gun safety
Learning the way of the gun in Wakefield

WAKEFIELD FOUND A GANG that could shoot straight.
The Second Amendment thrives in the Wakefield community where two-dozen area residents from 18 to 80 participated in a three-day Civilian Gun Safety Course that culminated in shooting range practice this past Saturday.
Self-defense and gun safety were the top reasons many of the participants turned out for the free course, which will be held again in the fall. The team of volunteer teachers included National Rifle Association certified instructors Mike Bounopane, Lino Avelanni, and Frank Covie, with Police Chief Ken Fifield providing instruction on self-defense and handgun laws.
Students included two teenagers, at least a half-dozen experienced gun owners, retirees looking to polish their skills and knowledge, and those who had never handled a weapon before. About a third of the group acknowledged already possessing a state approved permit to carry a concealed weapon — even if they didn't yet own a gun.
Mackenzie Robinson, 18, of Wakefield attended the course at the suggestion of her dad, Wayne Robinson. Both her parents and older sister already know how to handle and shoot a gun, so dad thought it was time Mackenzie learned.
"I've never shot a gun before. I'm nervous about shooting," she said, adding that it was the potential recoil or kickback of the handgun that made her wary. However, she said she would feel more secure if she knew how to use a gun and thought that gun education was important, while gun control efforts were futile.
"I think gun control is ridiculous," she said.
She and others in the class said that while extended background checks for gun ownership in theory is a good idea, it won't keep guns out of the hands of people intent on doing harm.
"I think we all should learn how to shoot," she said.
The course included instruction on the state's self defense laws, the parts and different types of handguns — from the semi-automatic, double-action revolvers to the single-action revolvers seen in movie Westerns — as well as how to hold, load, unload, shoot and store a gun. Students received handouts on the 18 rules of safe gun handling.
Experienced gun handlers included Bob Macgregor of Acton, Maine, a professional trapper who also works with landowners to control animals that threaten life, property and livestock, such as fisher cats and coyotes.
"I want to be a responsible gun owner," said Macgregor. "Safety is the most important thing."
Kay Basehore, 63, recently purchased a handgun and attended class to learn how to use it. She described herself as 'pro-Second Amendment' and supportive of federal legislation that would have expanded background checks for people purchasing guns.
Overall, attendees and the instructors stressed gun safety and personal responsibility.
"Guns are neither safe or unsafe," said Bounopane.
Safe gun-handling rules include treating a gun as if it's always loaded, never pointing it at anything one is not willing to destroy or in the general direction of people, knowing your target and keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. Never drink alcohol and shoot, store guns where kids and company can't get at it, and use a gun's safety mechanism but don't rely on it.
At the town's outdoor shooting range on Saturday, participants were required to wear ear and eye protection and a cap with a brim.
Shooters — novice and experienced — stepped up to the paper targets six at a time and, with instructors by their sides, shot off a couple dozen rounds each.
Jessenia Perez, 18, of Wakefield came to the class with her dad, Michael.
"I've never done this before," she said while waiting a turn to shoot at the range.
Michael Perez has some experience shooting at his brother-in-law's range, but he came to the class to learn about the laws and safe gun handling.
Beth Hutchinson attended the class with her husband after the couple decided to purchase a pistol for safety and self-defense. A home near theirs had been robbed.
"That prompted us to look into getting a gun for safety," she said. "I hope we don't ever have to use it."
Instructors encouraged the class to continue practicing shooting as it takes many hundreds of thousands of rounds to become an adept, safe and confident shooter. As for what weapon one chooses, Fifield said the weapon of choice should fit well.
"Buying a gun is like buying a car. There are different models for different people," he said. "What's most important is what fits well in your hand."

SummaryD-tree International uses clinical protocols to develop clinical decision support software that can be loaded onto mobile phones for use by Clinic staff and Community Health Workers (CHWs) to help them accurately assess, diagnose and treat patients.
Program goals
The acute shortage of physicians and nurses is severely limiting the care and treatment available to patients of all types. These factors have contributed to a growing interesting in task shifting, i.e. delegating routine tasks being performed by physicians to other categories of health workers. The key to success of task shifting is the ability to maintain high standards of care despite the use of non-physicians to provide care and treatment to patients. Therefore, D-tree International aims to improve adherence to clinical protocols through the use of mobile phones.
Key program components
D-tree International implements several programs based around the creation of algorithms on mobile phones (D-tree originally used PDAs, but has since entirely switched to phones). These protocols prompt a nurse or other health worker to ask each patient a series of questions regarding their treatment or other health problems and determine where a patient requires the attention of a physician.
Pilot programs, mainly centered in Tanzania, but also taking place in South Africa, India, and Malawi, have been created around several health concerns. Projects on HIV/AIDS, Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), antenatal, neo-natal and post-natal care, reproductive health, malaria, diabetes, tuberculosis have all been implemented thus far.
D-tree International has adapted the IMCI protocols for use on mobile phones (eIMCI). These classify and recommend treatment for common causes of death including pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles and malnutrition among children. The software developed guides health workers step by step through the full IMCI assessment, classification, and treatment plan.
Through this pilot, D-tree has shown that providers at health facilities are better able to follow the electronic protocols than the current standard of paper based protocols leading to improvements in diagnosis and treatment, simultaneously increasing adherence to these protocols and reducing the inappropriate prescription of antibiotics and anti-malarials for children with fever.
D-tree International is also working in the area of family planning where they are developing a screening protocol for use by community and facility based health workers to suggest methods of contraception as well as to prompt health workers for types of advice to give each client during each visit.
In the area of diabetes care, D-tree aims to improve the quality of care available to patients with NCD's through the use of electronic algorithms that are linked to an electronic patient record.
The e-TB module is used once a patient is suspected of having TB, based on standardized screening questions about coughing, sweating, fevers, etc. These questions have been added to the e-CTC system, and trigger referral to TB care.
Mobile Money enables the payment of services to be done via a mobile device.

Identity theft suspects arrested during traffic stop
Two San Bernardino County residents were in custody in San Diego County Tuesday, accused of stealing personal information that included mail, credit cards and checks from more than 100 people in the county they reside.
Samuel Oliver Remson, 26, and Dominique Kesha Woods, 33, were taken into custody late Monday morning during a traffic stop at Seventh and Main streets in Ramona, according to San Diego County sheriff's Sgt. J. Boyce.
A deputy pulled the couple over for a suspected traffic violation and smelled the odor of marijuana coming from their vehicle, Boyce said in a statement. Remson allegedly admitted he had used marijuana and had some in the car.
During a subsequent search of the vehicle, the deputy found a small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and more than 100 pieces of stolen personal information from San Bernardino County, including mail, credit cards and checks, Boyce said.
"The stolen mail is commonly used to commit fraud and steal victims' identities," the sergeant said.
Remson and Woods were each arrested and booked into county jails on suspicion of drug possession, identity theft and mail theft. Both are scheduled to be arraigned Thursday afternoon in El Cajon.

Words and Verses for Xmas
By Catherine Pulsifer
If I could wish a wish for you,
it would be for peace and happiness not only now,
but for the whole year through!
I wish that there always be food on your table.
And that you always remember those less fortunate.
May you always take time to share, and thank those who share with you.
I wish for time, so you may reflect
on the blessings that you have, and that you express your love
to those who are dear to you.
May you never feel lonely,
because there are those who care.
That you realize: you are special,
you are unique, you make a difference,
not only at Christmas, but all year!
I wish for your thoughts to be positive ones,
that you never quit, that you never give up,
and that you continue to learn.
I wish for the love, peace, and joy
of Christmas be yours always,
by Catherine Pulsifer
Faith, hope and charity
May we always have these
Not just at Christmas time
But all the year throughout.
We tend to have more faith
More hope and charity
During the season
But can we keep it always
Those three qualities
May you experience
Each and every day.
May you always have something
to hope for
May you always have faith
to believe your hopes can come true
And may you always share with others
your blessings as a result of your hopes and faith.
This is a wonderful poem to include in your Christmas cards. The words
express special thoughts for special people. The poet Helen Stiener Rice expresses great words of wisdom in the verses of this poem. We hope you find the messages in this poetry ones that you share with others.
Poet: Helen Stiener Rice
I have a list of friends that is all written in a book.
And every year when Christmas comes,
I go and take a look.
That is when I realize that these names are a part
Not of the book they're written in,
but really, of my heart.
For each name stands for
someone who has crossed my path sometime
And in that meeting
they're become the reason in each rhyme.
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim,
I really feel that I'm composed of each remembered name.
For while you may not be aware of any special "link"
Just meeting you has changed my life a lot more than you think.
Once I've met someone, the years cannot erase,
The memory of a pleasant word or a friendly face.
So never think my Christmas cards are just a mere routine
Of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in between.
For when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you,
It's cause you're on the list of those I'm indebted to.
I am but the total of people I have met,
And you happen to be the one that I prefer not to forget.
Whether I have known you for many years or few.
In some way you've had a part in shaping things I do.
So every year when Christmas comes,
I realize a new,
The best gift life can offer is
having friends like you.
by Catherine Pulsifer
A time for joy
For the girls and boys
Xmas brings hope
Of all good things.
Decorations and trees
Turn the lights on please
Good friends and family too
Presents and surprises for you.
A day to reflect
A day of respect
For all you have been blessed
Let your joy be expressed.
May this Christmas bring
All special things
May you find happiness and joy
May you even receive a toy.
by Catherine Pulsifer
If only every day
Held the spirit of Christmas day
To capture that feeling always
Year round would be the best way
If only every day
We would be so kind
To our fellow man
Year round would be the best way.
If only every day
We share and give
So that others may happily live
Year round would be the best way.
If only every day
We expressed our love
And thanked God above
Year round would be the best way.
