RR of the Day: 1987 GMC Thompson Short Bus
The '87 GMC Thompson is actually being campaigned in a pseudo-rally that covers 4,000 miles between London and Banjul, Gambia in the 2007 Plymouth to Banjul Challenge. A group of sadistic do-gooders, calling themselves the Penitent Yanks, are making the trek south as part of a charity run, with the school bus being auctioned off when the tribe reaches their destination. The run began on January 25th and you can follow their progress at their blog, here.
As for mods, well, there ain't much. The radiator failed in NY before the bus was shipped across the pond, so they replaced it, some fluids, hoses and removed the wheel chair lift to make room for beds and storage. They added a sound system, built a roof rack and outfitted the love bus with a disco ball.
There's a few more pics after the jump, including Flickr member DcHammer's rundown of his screamin' yellow tank, as well as directions on how to submit your own ride to our Flickr pool.
Check out this sweet ride. A 1987 GMC Thompson Short Bus...she is about to embark on a 4,000 trip from London, England to Banjul, Gambia, where she will be donated to charity. We are going to find out whether a school bus will make it through the Sahara desert....or out of England for that matter. She was bought in Buffalo, NY in November and driven to Washington, DC, but not before the radiator blew up. We know one thing...it has a brand new radiator.
The bus has 138,000 miles on it. Original school bus yellow, excepting zebra stripes and leopard spot rims. The wheel chair lift was removed and replaced by two awesome plywood benches which will serve as beds and storage. A sound system has been added for blasting bedouin nomads in the desert, and a crappy roof rack has been built on top. We've been warned that it will fall off once we hit the bad roads in Mauritania. We'll worry about that in Mauritania. Jerry cans of fuel and three spares will live on the roof. And don't forget about the disco ball! We've added a bit of landscaping material to the grill to keep sand out and padlocks all around as she doesn't lock up.
As far as mechanical mods, none to speak of - new hoses, new fluids - she's not leaking, so we are good to go.
To find out more, check out penitentyanks.blogspot.com/. The bus awaits us England right now - we'll be picking her up and heading south on 1/25...
How to submit to RR of the Day:
Create a Flickr account if you don't already have one. Search for and join the group called 'Autoblog RR of the Day'. Upload up to three photos of your ride to your own account at a size no larger than 450 pixels wide if possible and include as much information about it and yourself as you can. Click on each photo and just above the picture it will say "Send to group". Click that and select the Autoblog group. You're done, that's it! We love seeing what YOU drive, so please keep those submissions coming!

From the book
They were nearly three hours into the operation and not one cell of the cancer had yet been removed. But by neurosurgical standards, three hours was still well within the feeling-out period -- especially for a procedure involving experimental equipment. And despite huge progress recently, ARTIE most certainly remained experimental.
"Let's try another set of images with enhancement of the tumor, please."
To a physician, all growths, benign and malignant, were tumors, although the term "cancer" was generally reserved for malignancies -- those tumors capable of spreading to distant organs. This particular cancer, a glioblastoma, was among the most virulent of all brain tumors.
Staring straight ahead at the eight-inch monitor screen that was suspended from the ceiling to her eye level, Jessie Copeland set her gloved hands down on the patient's draped scalp, which was fixed by heavy screws to an immobile titanium frame. The physical contact wasn't technically necessary. From here on, ARTIE would be doing the actual surgery. But there was still something reassuring about it.
"You playing gypsy fortune-teller?" Emily DelGreco asked from across the table.
"I just want to make certain the guy hasn't slipped out from under the sheets, gotten up, and run away while I'm trying to decide whether or not our little robot pal is in position to begin removing this tumor. For some reason ARTIE's movements forward and left feel sluggish to me -- not as responsive to the controls as I think he should be."
"Easy does it, Jess," Emily said. "We always expect more from our kids than they can ever deliver -- just ask mine. The sensors I'm watching, plus my monitor screen, say you and ARTIE are doing fine. If you start feeling rushed, just say 'Berenberg.'"
Emily, a nurse practitioner, had been on the neurosurgical service at the Eastern Massachusetts Medical Center for several years before Jessie started her residency. The two of them, close in age if not in temperament, had hit it off immediately, and over the intervening eight years had become fast friends. Now that Jessie was on the junior faculty, Emily had moved into the tiny office next to hers and worked almost exclusively with her and her patients. Neither of them would ever forget Stanley Berenberg, one of the first brain tumor cases the two of them had done together. His operation had taken twenty-two hours. They did the delicate resection together without relief. But every minute they spent on the case proved worth it. Berenberg was now enjoying an active retirement, playing golf and carving birds, one of which -- a beautifully rendered red-tailed hawk -- held sway on the mantel in Jessie's apartment.
"Berenberg ... Berenberg ... Berenberg," Jessie repeated mantralike. "Thanks for the pep talk, Em. I think ARTIE's just about ready to start melting this tumor."
Jessie had decided to apply to medical school five years after her graduation from MIT with a combined degree in biology and mechanical engineering. She had spent those five years working in research and development for Globotech, one of the hottest R and D companies around.
"I didn't mind making those toys," she had told neurosurgical chief Carl Gilbride at her residency interview, "but I really wanted to play with them afterwards."
Under Gilbride's leadership, the Eastern Mass Medical Center's neurosurgical program, once the subject of scorn in academic circles, was a residency on the rise, drawing high-ranking applicants from the best medical schools in the country. Jessie, who was comfortably in the middle of the pack at Boston University's med school, had applied to EMMC strictly as a long shot. She...
- Doctors, arch criminals, robotic surgeons, and rogue CIA agents--Michael Palmer's latest has it all. Gripping from its foreword to its final lines, the story follows a young neurosurgeon in her battle of wits and will with one of the world's most vicious terrorists, Claude Maloche, who demands her care. If she refuses or fails to save his life, Maloche promises that his criminal organization will exact revenge on her and thousands of Bostonians. Narrator Michael Kramer does a masterful job with the fast pace and with keeping the many characters clear in the listener's mind. Kramer moves easily from narrating Palmer's frantic action to plowing through the medical dialogue, all the time using his gentle cadence and strong voice to make for 12 hours of enthralling listening.

Voting Health Care
Quinn Phillips
October 31, 2012
Amid all the discussion of the economy, foreign policy, and social issues this election season, the role of the federal government in shaping the country's health-care system is not getting the attention many people thought it would — especially since opposition to the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") played a large role in the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives two years ago. But just because health care isn't always in the spotlight doesn't mean the stakes are any lower, or the controversies any less heated, than they were in 2010. The actions of Congress and the president over the next few years could greatly shape the course of health care for people with diabetes.
The area in which federal health-care policy is perhaps most uncertain is still the Affordable Care Act itself. President Obama, of course, supports the law and would oppose any attempt by Congress to repeal it, just as most Democrats in Congress support the core elements of the law (which are set to go into effect in 2014). These core elements include establishing state-based insurance exchanges through which people without employer-provided or other group health insurance plans can buy private health insurance; requiring that insurance plans on these exchanges accept all applicants, regardless of preexisting medical conditions; providing subsidies, based on income level, to make health insurance purchased on exchanges more affordable; and requiring that nearly all Americans have comprehensive health insurance of some kind. In principle, at least, requiring nearly everyone to have health insurance will lead to lower premiums, since more healthy people will be part of insurance pools.
Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president, has vowed to work to repeal the Affordable Care Act, as have most Republican candidates for Congress. In explaining his opposition to the law, Romney often notes that it requires certain businesses to pay a penalty if they do not provide health-insurance plans to employees; this is one way the law pays for subsidies to individuals buying insurance on state exchanges. Romney favors giving states more control over health-care regulation, meaning that some states might enact plans similar to the Affordable Care Act (as Romney did as governor of Massachusetts) but that many would not. Rather than supporting subsidies for lower-income families and individuals to buy health insurance, Romney supports a federal tax credit that would reduce some of the cost of health insurance. For those with truly low incomes, however, such a credit would most likely still leave insurance unaffordable. Romney also only favors requiring insurers to accept applicants with preexisting conditions if they have continuous insurance coverage, which leaves out many who currently lack health insurance as well as anyone who might be unable to pay for continuous coverage because of financial hardship caused by a job loss or similar event.
The candidates also disagree on the direction of Medicaid, the joint federal-state public insurance program for the poor (which also covers nursing-home coverage for the elderly who lack sufficient finances). Obama supported the expansion of Medicaid to anyone earning up to 133% of the federal poverty line, which is a provision in the Affordable Care Act that states can opt out of, thanks to a US Supreme Court ruling. Romney opposes this Medicaid expansion and would furthermore drastically change the existing program, ending federal rules governing eligibility and coverage and instead giving states complete flexibility to cover their poor residents as they choose.
Medicare, the federal public insurance program that covers all senior citizens, has seen some changes in its structure under the Affordable Care Act, with the support of President Obama. The prescription-drug coverage gap in Medicare Part D (often called the "doughnut hole"), under which many seniors have had to pay the full cost for all drugs out-of-pocket, was eliminated in the law. The law also, however, cut approximately $700 billion in hospital reimbursements and private-insurance subsidies from the Medicare program. While these cuts did not affect the benefits of people enrolled in Medicare, many Republicans claim that the cuts could lead to health-care providers becoming less accepting of Medicare patients. Romney promises to restore this funding to Medicare. He also supports changing the program so that future enrollees (those currently under 55 years old) can either choose the current Medicare system or receive a voucher from the government with which they could buy private insurance.
Will your views on federal health-care programs be a major factor in how you vote next week? Do you see either Obama's or Romney's plans changing your diabetes care for the better, or for the worse? Do you rely on either Medicare or Medicaid, or do you anticipate gaining coverage through the Affordable Care Act? Do you support any of the proposed changes to these programs? Leave a comment below, and don't forget to vote on Tuesday, November 6!
I think those who supported obama and the health care law are going to be sorely disappointed. The very fact that we have diabetes, especially type 1 puts us in a bad category should we break a hip after the age of 75. The panel will look at the life span we have after age 75 for any needed surgery and let's face it, it is not as good as those who do not have diabetes. I think you all made a grave mistake.

Maybe I am selfish, but I went on Medicare this year and am not happy with it! I have been T1D for 53 years and until I was forced to go on Medicare or loose my other coverage, I had never had trouble with coverage for the various "goodies" needed to maintain good control. They won't cover CGMS, and want to limit the number of test strips I use each month. The government has not been exceptionally successful in other attempts to control aspects of our lives. Why do we think they can be successful with health coverage? I think we should be very careful before we give our health care over to a system that cannot meet its own budget and keeps raising our national debt. How are they (you) going to pay for this?

Hi,i have read your articles. it is a fantastic one. You have done well. I have gote some advantages from it. I think that it is an important contemporary issue.some of your topic are very well which have attracted me much.I think our country(Bangladesh)doctor not very sincere.Because your articles so good.I hope your articles will be helpful for the people.

I also read the well written article. However, I question why I rec'd it today, Nov. 7, the day after the election when it was dated Oct. 31, six days before the election? It would not have affected my vote since I support Pres. Obama and the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). Thanks for the article, but please be more timely. Ron Timmons, Indianapolis
Posted by: Ron Timmons | Nov 07, 2012 02:48 PM
Yes, I fully support the Affordable Care Act[ACA] and voted accordingly. Medicare and Medicaid are very necessary. Medicare helps me a great deal with my pump and the needed supplies for the pump AND also the meds needed as a Type 1 for 55 years. Quite frankly, I was very concerned until I heard Tuesday night's national election results. Both Medicare and Medicaid need adjustments as time passes. And most state and federal government dept. adjust over time. Hopefully a threat to take away these much needed health care systems will not happen again, ever!!! Especially the pre exiting clause within the ACA that will help so very many diabetics, and other citizens with chronic diseases.
Posted by: joan | Nov 07, 2012 03:28 PM
The affordable health care act is an important bill for us senior diabetics. Had Obama not been re-elected we would have been put at a great disadvantage with the repeal of this legislation ! No insurer would would have to accept us for coverage nor would the so called flat rate voucher to buy Medicare insurance require any of the insurance companies to insure us at their regular rate and we would all nave to pay thousands a year if not month to get any kind of insurance!This bill ,the AHA,guarantees that these companies accept our pre-existing condition whereas Romney-Ryan plans had no such provision. This act is by no means perfect but is an important starting point

Just wait a while and you will see how bad all this is for the country. I am in the throw away age and there will be "death panels" to decide how not to treat "units". This scares me to death.

The massive Beltline and an impressive grid of protected lanes that will connect the trail system to key urban destinations are poised to remake transportation in the city that anchors the country's ninth-largest metro area. [...] As the video above shows, Atlanta's embrace of active space is part of a psychic shift in a city that's shaking off its old Sprawlville USA image with a combination of bike, transit and affordable housing infrastructure.

Joel Kotkin, a fellow at Chapman University and an untiring defender of the suburbs, begins a recent column in the Washington Post with a valid question: "What is a city for?" He then proceeds to get that question completely wrong. But really, we should be thanking him. In his article, he neatly sums up many of the key myths emerging from the anti-urbanism set, making my job of debunking these myths a lot easier.

The aforementioned WP column already managed to spark a lively discussion last month here on Archinect.

Urban densities are not trivial, they severely limit the transport mode choice and change only very slowly. Because of the large differences in densities between Atlanta and Barcelona about the same length of metro line is accessible to 60% of the population in Barcelona but only 4% in Atlanta. The low density of Atlanta render this city improper for rail transit.

In the wake of economic reforms in the 1990s that helped set off the largest urban migration in history, China had the rare opportunity to embrace cutting-edge city-building approaches as it expanded its skyline. It could have avoided the mistakes that made Los Angeles into the land of gridlock, or bypassed the errors that turned the banlieues of Paris into what one American planner calls "festering urban sores". But China looked back instead of forward.

Marshall, Garrick and Piatkowski are talking about a different set of health concerns: not communicable diseases like cholera, but lifestyle diseases like diabetes. "The literature suggests," they write, "that the shift in industrialized nations toward a more sedentary lifestyle is linked to increasingly auto-dependent lifestyles, which in turn is linked to lower density developments and auto-friendly land uses." Maybe we're designing places, in other words, that make it harder to be active.

A new report from Reid Ewing and Shima Hamidi of the University of Utah, lead researchers on the aforementioned rankings, gets at that question. Ewing and Hamidi scored the largest 162 U.S. urbanized areas on the Sprawl Index — or, if you're feeling optimistic, the Compactness Index — for 2010. (Urbanized areas reflect development better than fixed metro area boundaries do.) Then they applied the index to the same cities in 2000 to show the change over time.

In a series of photos taken over seven years, now published in a new book called Ciphers, photographer Christoph Gielen shows a different perspective on sprawl, intended to get more people to question typical patterns of development. "I meant for Ciphers to be provocative at a time when we are witnessing a phenomenal escalation in urban construction ... when entire cities are emerging fully formed in India and China, rather than slowly evolving," says Gielen.

It may not seem like it when you're stuck in traffic on the 110 Freeway, but Southern California is home to some of the least-sprawling metro areas in the country. That's according to a study out today from Smart Growth America, which attempted to measure the concept of urban sprawl in 221 metro areas nationwide. The study ranked the Los Angeles, Orange County and Santa Barbara regions in the 25 least-sprawling.

So it is that nearly a third of the interstate system consists of stretches through our cities, in the form of loops, spurs and freeways. So it is that American motorists drive nearly twice as many miles on urban interstates as they do the lengthier rural legs. So it is that every metropolis in the country has reorganized itself around these roads, and that they've shaped where we live and work, how we shop, what we eat, and how we pass our time.

Two academics wondered about the number of swimming pools in the L.A. Basin. They got their answer with computer mapping, but [...] along the way, they discovered something more than just the real-world versions of the iconic David Hockney pool utopias. Their project also proved that two non-experts were able to take a massive amount of freely available data to peek into other people's lives.

A leading architect has launched a scathing attack on Government planning reforms and warned that large parts of the country could resemble Los Angeles. Lord [Richard] Rogers of Riverside claims that under the plans Britain's biggest cities could merge into one enormous urban sprawl.

 Los Angeles has infamously been known for its urban sprawl. A recently released map makes it look like LA could easily swallow several major US cities inside its bloated city limits belly. See the map below and follow the subsequent discussion on reddit.com.

Job market- ADN students being warned? - page 2
Ok so I oriented a 4th semester nursing student from the local community college last week and this was for her "trends" class. I work in a state facility for DD population. We got to talking and she of course wants to work in... Read More
- 2Mar 9, '13 by TakeTwoAspirinI hope the schools have more luck predicting the future two or four years down the line than I do because that it what it would take to do what you are suggesting. Even if they enroll a class sized to meet today's demand, they only stand a 50% chance of being anywhere close to what the future demand might be. There will always be a risk of it being too few or too many. That is why schools don't get involved in making predictions about how employable you will be when you graduate. They can't possibly predict it which rolls us right back to individuals making decisions for themselves based on their own research and willingness to roll the dice in a chosen career path.
- 0It doesn't all fall on the nursing schools- much of it has to do with the news media and the fact there was a shortage for so many years. But even the media is starting to recognize that new graduates aren't being readily hired - consider the recent CNN article. Whatever the case I just hope nursing students are being properly informed.
- 5Mar 9, '13 by BostonFNP, MSN, DNP, NP GuideQuote from RunnerRN2b2014Did your school tell you that?My ASN school graduates approx 100-120 new RNs a year and most of them have jobs lined up before graduation. The Dec 2012 graduating class all passed NCLEX the first time (which is typical for the school) and all have jobs already. It really helps that my school is hospital-affiliated so, even though it's "only" an ASN, we're the grads the system wants and we get priority over all other schools --including the 2 BSN schools in the area.
- 0Mar 9, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from hope3456A simple answer....yes.Ok so I oriented a 4th semester nursing student from the local community college last week and this was for her "trends" class. I work in a state facility for DD population. We got to talking and she of course wants to work in a ER. I told her it is really competitive to get into the ER as a new grad and they are hiring mostly BSN's. she said she was going to work on that ... also eluded to being a single parent "so it might take me a while" she said. We are in a rural area and she said based on her clinicals she didn't want to work on the M/S units in the local 2 hospitals. She then said she might relocate to another state and I told her to check into the local job market - some places it is really difficult - if not impossible- to get nursing jobs. I told her that is why I relocated was b/c if the saturated job market in the neighboring state. She was like "really?" She said she didn't know that - she thought nurses could get jobs anywhere. She also stated that she was graduating from a class of 36 students - the class size had been increased from 24 previous year. Later she quietly asks me "so you think I'll have a problem getting a job?" I said "honestly, I'm not sure this area will absorb that many new grad nurses - a lot of times they only want to hire nurses with experience. She was a nice girl and I wish her the best. I told her my facility has a opening coming up and I would put in a good word for her if she was interested - however my manager just hired an experienced RN.
I know some schools are warning students - I worked with a BSN new grad last year who said the instructors warned the class "your best options right now for employment are the rural areas" as they knew most of the students wanted to move to the city.
Do you all think nursing students/ potential nursing students are being misled about the job market? Oh and I do say ADN students because we hear so much how hospitals are only hiring BSNs.
- 1Mar 9, '13 by woobie8504I agree the nursing programs are not responsible for guarantee of employment (or even a prediction of employability), just putting out competent nurses. However the CNN article (dated 1/23/2013) mostly applies to the state of California. The article also states "Demand for health care services is expected to climb as more baby boomers retire and health care reform makes medical care accessible to more people. As older nurses start retiring, economists predict a massive nursing shortage will reemerge in the United States." It also depends on what types of jobs new grads are applying for. You have to pay your dues. Work the less desired shifts for less pay. I know that LTC hires fresh RN's. If thats what they have to do to get there then take that route. That field gives you ample opportunity for skills building and managment. As I said earlier, IMO starting out as LVN and working up the ladder while gaining experience gets better results for future job opportunities. I'm slightly biased though because I am an LVN working my way up.
- 0Mar 9, '13 by ProfRN4Articles like this don't really help: (scroll down to the last one)
Degrees of the Future - Yahoo! Education
As mentioned, schools do not admit students based on the predictions of the market in 2 years (maybe more, with failure/withrdraw/repeats). Do other colleges, majors or programs do that? Unless it is a private/proprietary school, they are under no obligation to figure out how to get their graduates a job.
However, NLNAC does look at these numbers, during the accreditation/re-accreditation process. They would like to see a good percentage (I believe our target number was 80%, being realistic for the current market) of graduates with jobs within 6 months. Therefore, programs should adjust their numbers accordingly. Again, this is a balancing act, because no one can truly account for attrition. SO schools will likely over-admit, but should be admitting less than 5 years ago.
- 0Mar 9, '13 by ♪♫ in my ♥In this area, there is HUGE competition for new-grad jobs... and a fair amount even for the decent jobs requiring experience.
While the ADN students have a chance, the local hospitals are all "BSN preferred/required" and they are generally able to fill their needs with such requirements.
While I can't quote any solid stats, it appears that only the top 30% or so of students are getting hired in these parts.
Some people are still going into the "intern" programs wherein they enroll at a local community college after licensing and work as "interns" (read unpaid nurses) for 6-12 months in the hopes of getting hired or at least getting some real experience. Downright abusive, IMO, but I was prepared to do the same thing when I graduated in 2009.

"I can't believe I'm gonna say this but"
There's just to much sex in this book. The story was completely over shadowed by the many many sex scenes. The reading wasn't very good either. This wasn't as good as I had hoped.
"This one was ok."
The story was really good but the voice ing wasn't.
The beginning when she was discovering what she has become. And her first blood drinking.
No I'm sorry but Susan was a bit on the flat side and each character sounded pretty much the same.
I would have been a better read on paperback.
"I'm a GWG"
I can identify with some of the book descriptions on how getting new glasses makes you feel. However, the book didn't leave a lasting impression. It was just ok.
"Gross but great"
These story's gross me out, bring tears to my eyes, and makes me laugh. What more can you ask for from an author. Thanks
"Love the Iron Druid"
This book was too short. I'm so ready for the next one! Oberon is my favorite character I know it's silly but he is. Every time I though I knew what was about to happen I was surprised especially since the people that died where not the ones I thought would die. Just wish that more detail was given then the iron was killing fairies as the reason for so much hatred. For me that part was a little rushed but either way I loved it.
"Joe Ledger is amazing"
This is amazing. I'm not sure how Mr. Maberry will be able to top this story but I cant wait to see if he will try.
"The Anita I know and love"
This is the Anita I know and love but a little more grown up. I like that this book is starting to close off some of the lose ends cause it was getting a heavy handed with the so many people and story lines. I felt like it was starting to create spinoff characters which didn't always fit with the story we where reading. I've never had a problem with the sex scenes and I still don't. I hope that the next book keeps adding to the main relationship like this one did and doesn't' create more side action till the main setup is straight.
"This is a short story but it really accomplished"
alot in a little bit of time. This is a nice story about a quick romance and the possibility that it can turn into something more. I think i'm going to take the time to see what else this author has to offer.
"I really like this series"
Its fun and light hearted. Looking forward to book 6 for more snark, action, and romance.
"I think this is the best one so far!"
This series can't come out fast enough for me. I can't wait for the next book. PLease hurry with book 10.
"I really liked this!"
The stories all played to the theme really well. There was really only one story that I just didn't like.
There where stories from Kevin Hearne and Jennifer Estep both authors that I really love. My one grip was that for my fav authors stories I wish that the narrators for their series had been used cause they have a better sense for the characters they are reading about and listeners already relate to them.
I also found a couple of stories that made me want to see what some of the authors have out. This was a pretty good listen.

Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Ghana's three-year borrowing costs rose to the highest in more than a year at an auction yesterday where the bank allocated 51 percent of the bids, according to the central bank.
Ghana sold 200 million cedis ($123 million) of three-year bonds, less than the 300 million cedis offered, at an average yield of 14 percent, the Accra-based Bank of Ghana said today. Investors had sought 388.9 million, the bank said. The last sale of the same duration, held in July, was also undersubscribed and earned a yield of 13 percent.
"The limited foreign investor interest in the offering meant there was less competition in the bids," Nalini Cundapen, a London-based emerging markets strategist at Societe Generale SA, said in an e-mail. "Locals may be increasingly aware of potential inflationary pressures in the pipeline and continuing uncertainty in fiscal dynamics going into next year."
Ghana's inflation rate has been unchanged at 8.4 percent for the past three months, the Ghana Statistical Service said Oct. 12, even as the cedi, has weakened against the U.S. dollar.
"We think the exchange rate being quoted on the interbank market is a bit of concern for the offshore investors," Adams Nyinkau, head of treasury at the central bank, said by phone yesterday. The currency of West Africa's second-biggest economy has slumped 9 percent against the dollar this year and was little changed at 1.6323 by 11:49 a.m. in Accra.
Ghana will hold presidential and parliamentary elections in December 2012. During the last campaign year in 2008, Ghana's fiscal deficit widened to 14.5 percent of gross domestic product, "boosted by strong pre-election spending growth" including gas-price subsidies, infrastructure projects and wage increases for public workers, the International Monetary Fund said in July 2009.

Many thanks-
Originally we purchased this duplex as a monthly rental. However, the location is such that we wanted to share it as a weekly rental. We began this project in the spring of 2009 and completed it early this summer. The adjacent townhome will be available for rent next season. This would make it possible for two families to enjoy themselves at a single location. We are confident you will enjoy your stay.
Linda Wood purchased this townhome in 2000
Prior to using this as a vacation rental property it was a monthly rental. However, each time we improved the property I was impressed with the location and the amenities it had to offer. We live near by and I personally know how beautiful it is all year round. Whenever I am at Cherry House II I become more attached to the neighborhood and surroundings. On Sunday morings I have heard the church bells from the small church around the corner. The back yard fire-pit is wonderful in the evenings. Walks to Pere Marquette Beach are fun and then we return to Cherry House easily. Lakeside is a great place for shopping with candy store, art stores, book stores. You are sure to enjoy this stay.
This neighborhood is so entirely unique. Buster Keaton and his entourage summered here. There is history in the whole neighborhood. Each fall this is a 'Buster Keaton Festival'. The church bells ringing at noon everyday. The breeze, the waves. Its all very lovely.
June thru Labor-Day
WOW!! What a summer!
3-Boats, dogs, loads of fun and activities! Fishing, hiking, cooking, visitors! So much to do!

As the uprising against the rule of Bashar al-Assad in Syria rages on, thousands of Iraqis who fled their own country are now starting to return home.
During the worst of the violence caused by the US-led war in Iraq, almost a million Iraqis crossed over to Syria, some of them registering with the UN refugee agency in the hope of being resettled.
Al Jazeera's Jane Arraf reports from Baghdad on how many are now giving up that dream.

Blast From The Past
Unearthed above is a clipping from the March 1950 edition of the Inter-American Division Messenger. It celebrates the recent completion of what was then the mission (now conference) office on the corner of Collymore Rock and Brittons Cross Road, and the Advent Avenue Church in the Bank Hall area. Both buildings, pictured below, are currently in a state of transition. The old conference office ~ http://goo.gl/maps/k2ad8 has appeared somewhat abandoned for a number of years since the Maranatha Church moved out to the new church which they are building on Forde's Road in the Clapham area ~ http://goo.gl/maps/VIyXj, however, the old building was actually earmarked by the last conference administration for conversion into office and retail space for the Adventist Book Center and Adventist Community Services. The Advent Avenue Church is in the midst of a massive church building project adjacent to the now "old" church building ~ http://goo.gl/maps/B73CX.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A proposal that aims to prevent the misuse of public assistance benefits has passed the Senate.
The measure sponsored by Republican Sen. Jim Tracy of Shelbyville was unanimously approved 30-0 on Monday. The companion bill has been assigned to the House Health Subcommittee.
Under the proposal, a person who knowingly uses an electronic benefit transfer card for gambling, alcohol purchase or access to strip clubs could permanently lose their benefits after three violations.
Businesses that allow the misuse face a fine of up to $5,000 and loss of license.
Tracy says he just wants to make sure the benefits are used properly.

The U.K.'s big internet service providers, including BT, Talk Talk, Virgin Media and Sky, have agreed to filter out terrorist and extremist material at the government's behest, in order to stop people seeing things that may make them sympathetic towards terrorists.
The move will also see providers host a public reporting button for terrorist material. This is likely to be similar to what is already done with websites that may host child pornography – people can report content to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), an organization that maintains a blacklist, to which that site could then be added.
In the case of extremist material, though, it appears that the reports would go through to the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU), which is based in London's Metropolitan Police and has already been very active in identifying extremist material and having it taken down.

I was very pleased with the Santuit. When I arrived early they did everything they could to get my room cleaned first. I was able to enjoy a delicious ice cream from the place next door while they finished up. The rooms were clean, well decorated and the room rate was spot-on! I would stay here again and recommend it to my friends.

Jurors will hear testimony from suspect's ex-wife
The trial of William Barfour begins Monday.
He is charged with killing three members of actress Jennifer Hudson's family: her mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, her brother, 29-year-old Jason Hudson, and her nephew, 7-year-old Julian King.
On Monday, jurors will hear testimony from the suspect's ex-wife, who is also Jennifer's sister, Julia Hudson.
Julia and Balfour, married in 2006, became estranged and Balfour moved out of her family's home in May 2008.
The murders occurred in October 2008.
Prosecutors say Balfour had threatened Julia's family more than two dozen times prior to the incident, after she told him that she had decided to start seeing another man.Copyright © 2014, The Baltimore Sun

Artist Name Page URL Error Details Purab Kohli PROFILE Purab Kohli has dabbled in modeling, veejaying and acting for quite a while. But he won his fair bit of fame only when he worked for Channel V as a VJ. Acting happened by chance for him and he was a part of teleserials like Hip Hip Hurray, Chota Moo Badi Baat and Sangharsh much before he became a part of Channel V. He became quite a regular face following his stint with ads like Colgate, Pizza Hut and Campaq Prassario. He began his acting career way back in 2003 with Bas Yun Hi opposite Nandita Das. He followed that up with roles in films like Supari and Vastu Shastra. It was Onir's My Brother Nikhil which got noticed by critics. It helped him in landing a role in Mahesh Bhatt's Woh Lamhe and Awarapan. But it was Abhishek Kapoor's Rock On, which catapulted him to fame along with the rest of the cast. Life seems to be just begining for this young actor, who got a special mention by the jury at the 2009 Filmfare Awards. In the year 2010, his film Hide & Seek had released which failed to make a mark at the box office. In the year 2011, he acted in Turning 30 opposite Gul Panag and the multiple-award winning I am, directed by Onir. As of 2012, he was seen in the Rajat Kapoor directed Fatso starring Ranvir Shorey and Gul Panag.

2013 a year to forget for BlackBerry
Other new BlackBerry 10 handsets followed. There was a lot of hope placed on the launch of the QWERTY-equipped BlackBerry Q10. Even Heins was hopeful that the physical QWERTY would attract long time BlackBerry users. But the Q10 also failed. The last device launched during the Thorsten Heins era was a device that he had said back in March that he was excited about, the BlackBerry Z30. But the first 5 inch 'Berry, with a 2880mAh battery, couldn't help.
By September, the writing was on the wall. The company said that it wanted to be sold by November and 19 days later, BlackBerry's largest stockholder agreed to buy the company for $9 a share and take it private. Despite talk that other big names were circling the company, like Cisco, Google, Microsoft and others, no other deal surfaced. Then, during the first few days of November, Fairfax Financial pulled out of the privatization deal, replacing it with a $1 billion funding package. Thorsten Heins left with a $22 million golden parachute, and John Chen was named as CEO.
Following the announcement of a massive $4.4 billion fiscal third quarter loss (after a one-time charge), Chen announced a five year deal with Foxconn under which the contract manufacturer will design, build, and warehouse low and mid-range models for emerging markets. BlackBerry itself will still build high-end models with two such handsets in the works.
An article in the New York Times on Tuesday mentioned how uncool it is to own a BlackBerry these days. But some are still forced to for security reasons to use a 'Berry (we're looking at you, Mr. President) and some still report how they can't type a paragraph on the iPhone, but can type 10 pages using the physical QWERTY on the BlackBerry.
With that in mind, perhaps we can give Mr. Chen a thought, a New Year's resolution if you will, for the company he now is in charge of. Considering that of the 4.3 million BlackBerry models that were shipped in fiscal Q3, 3.2 million were running BlackBerry 7 OS, maybe it is time to give up the thought of chasing iOS, Android and even Windows Phone. Take one of your older models, like the still fabulous BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930, keep the older OS on it and sell it everywhere as a phone, business tool and email device. Based on those who still use a BlackBerry these days, that is all that they want out of their device. Take Robin Zachary, a stylist, who says that she is missing out because of the lack of popular apps for the platform. "The party's going on on Instagram, and I feel left out," she says. But there's nary a chance that she will give up her BlackBerry. Why? "I can type faster than a speeding bullet on that keyboard." Mr.Chen, focus on BlackBerry users like Ms. Zachary and perhaps 2014 will be a better year for your company.

It would be ironic if BB/RIM were to dump their 10 series phones and went back to the Bold 9900/9930....

I won't forget BlackBerry, I'm excited to see what they will bring to the table next year. Their phones are not bad, it's just that the lack of apps on the App World makes people not interested on BB phones at all.
Let's see what they can do with their next year flagship - BlackBerry Z50. Good luck, BlackBerry!

Android and windows phone are the future. iOS and blackberry are the past.

Android - Yes, it's the future.
Windows Phone - Without Nokia, it's not the future.
iOS - Yes, it's still the future.
BlackBerry - Don't know, but there's still a chance.

As much as I used to love them, it's over. Not because it's uncool to have one, but because long gone are the years where the typical consumer sees BlackBerry as a competitor to anything. That plus the fact that similarly priced phones take craps all over Z30. People have proven that App Stores and ecosystem matter alot.

I don't think it's over, because I think that this new CEO can save BlackBerry. The problems are only the ecosystem and the lack of apps on the App World, their phones are not bad. I hope they will add more apps (not the crap ones) to the App World.

Is this a f*****g serious journalist writing, or is it with blessings of Apple and Samsung?
Yes it is uncool to own a BlackBerry.....if you're a sh*ep, or a monkey!!!
Get a life and stop harassing.
Bb10 is not Symbian to let it die and return to legacy OS. Is a great and powerful OS which only needs some marketing with more apps. Period.
The onlly OS in mind it has to go head to head is Android, which more customizable.
You laugh next year with its steady growth which will reclaim the 3d place atleast.

Sorry dude, I see that you love BB, but unfortunately they don't seem to have much chance. Z30, Z10 are great phones, but Blackberry was late. Ecosystem is just so weak. Sad to se old king so down.

With 10.2.1.1925 OS on your BlackBerry 10 you can download apk files which means you have 2 ecosystem is one, you can load an android app directly and still load a BlackBerry app. So that makes it a better android

In theory you're right, but Android apps run a little better on Android phones (well, on the high end ones). On the other hand IS BB10 working pretty nicely. I wouldn't sell my Z10 unless I get the Z50.
You will hear a lot from BB when they're back on their feet!

the problem is that bb is not popular btw people .bb fail in advertising of new bb10 and also price was very high at start otherwise their soft is better and much modern then android and ios and also wp.I personaly bought my 1st bb this year after 4years on android and one bad try on wp so can say it! bb10 is much better os for users,bb is on the higher level then big trio.people just must once try and most of them never come back to their previous os.it is my opinion...

2013, a year to forget phones manufactured by companies that care about the humane treatment of employees...or child slaves.

i choose BB10 ( i have two devices) not because i can't afford android or iphone. In my opinion no other phone can handle email management and messanging better than BB10, tried android even highend device such htc one, i couldn't leave BB10 i miss hub and BB 10 gesture. BB10 os doenst have home button, but all screen feels like home... amazing. One of my BB use leaks os 10.2.1.1925 - instagram and other apps works flawless. No reason to buy android.

The keyboard on the Q10 is phenomenal.

Blackberry is done. They will finally die in 2014

Makers of the Blackberry are innovators. Unfortunately, as with everything, the imitators lure the consumers with their cheap knock-offs and innovation is stagnated. Luckily, while the imitators race to build bigger and more gimmicky phones, another innovator ( Apple) is moving on to full 64bit support.
