Why Adoption is a Great Option
Blue, a Tumwater Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Tumwater, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Tumwater.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tumwater already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tumwater breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tumwater paves the way for another one to be saved.

Here's a near-perfect overnight rental ''small'' by executive producer Steven Spielberg's usual standards, Arachnophobia is just big enough for the TV. The movie should be fresh to a lot of viewers, too, as it was virtually lost amid last summer's blockbusters. And with good reason. The title's a tongue- sprainer too long for a marquee. The ''star'' is Jeff Daniels, a likable, talented actor who has the misfortune to look like the world's most generic white man. The bad guys aren't memorable personalities like Freddy Krueger in fact, the bad guys aren't personalities at all. They're deadly little spiders, offspring of a big South American bugger who has hitched to the rural town of Canaima, Calif., in a coffin.
But Arachnophobia's biggest box office-marketing hurdle was that it's neither a comedy nor a horror flick but something in between. Luckily, that's also its strength as a movie. As Daniels, playing a big-city doctor who has just moved wife, children, and practice to Canaima, investigates the mysterious deaths of several townsfolk, you're not sure whether to laugh or be scared, and Frank Marshall cannily exploits that as a major source of tension. He knows that spiders just don't inspire the same sort of dread as Jaws' shark there's something both alien and skitteringly comic about them. Still, Marshall (Spielberg's longtime producing partner, making his directorial debut here) has obviously learned well from his boss, and his grand finale in which Daniels faces down the big daddy arachnid with nailgun and flamethrower delivers exactly the smart pop thrills we've come to expect from this gang. Expect this movie to have more legs at home than it did in theaters. B+

We would like to inform the taxpayers of Lockport Township High School District 205 and Will County School District 92 of a potential change in Illinois law regarding oil refinery tax assessment that would have severe financial ramifications for the taxpayers and students of the districts.
The two districts are among the many taxing bodies that receive tax dollars from the Citgo Refinery in Lemont. If passed, Senate Bill 2345 would provide tax breaks to oil companies on the backs of property owners.
SB 2345 continues Illinois' practice of underfunding education. Gov. Pat Quinn has announced his intent to further reduce school funding by cutting general state aid to schools to 80 percent and transportation to 19 percent of promised levels.
The proposed legislation would result in less money for our schools. Already, school districts are facing the possibility of being required to cover the state's share of pension contributions, which would further shift the state's responsibility to local taxpayers, who now provide more than 90 percent of the revenue for local schools.
In Springfield, we spoke out against SB 2345, and afterward several senators pulled their support for the bill. We are asking taxpayers to contact your legislators in the Senate and the House to voice your strong opposition to SB 2345.

Big Brother rules IRS
Just when you hoped that Big Brother was sleeping, you can find him alive and well in the form of the Internal Revenue Service.
If your organization was one of the hundreds that applied for tax-exempt status starting in about 2010 and had the wrong title in it, you got a red flag to be audited.
Groups that were Christian, conservative, Jewish, constitutional, pro-life or patriotic set off the IRS alarms. They were grilled on their activities, and the IRS wanted personal information about their donors. Applications lingered for up to three years to stifle them.
At the expense of taxpayers and donors, this ostracizing was done to lessen conservative voices and votes. By the way, look for the 16,000 new IRS hires that handle your confidential health information and are soldiers for Obamacare.

Not-so-loony idea
Recently, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre, called for trained armed security officers to be assigned to our public schools to protect our children. The Democrats and mainstream media laughed at the idea and called him "loony."
But now our smart mayor, Rahm Emanuel, says firefighters, streets and sanitation workers and park district employees will protect our schoolchildren, and we see the media flocking to him and saying, "what a great idea."
I'm sorry, I'm with the "loony" LaPierre. I prefer trained security people over the pool boy at the park district pool when it comes to my child's safety.

Byron B. Yellowbear Jr. Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings, on February 18, 2009, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, BYRON B. YELLOWBEAR JR., a 29-year-old resident of Crow Agency and Wyoming, appeared for sentencing. YELLOWBEAR was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 180 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 5 years
YELLOWBEAR was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to aggravated sexual abuse.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
YELLOWBEAR was released from the Crow Tribal Jail during the afternoon of October 12, 2005, after being detained for a domestic violence charge involving this same victim. YELLOWBEAR walked to the home of the victim in Crow Agency and walked in the front door. YELLOWBEAR and the victim, who share two young children ages 1 and 2, were estranged at the time. The victim, who was at home with her two young children, heard someone walk into her home and then saw YELLOWBEAR.
YELLOWBEAR and the victim began arguing almost immediately. YELLOWBEAR then slapped the victim, pushed her, and threw objects around the living room. The victim, concerned because of past violent behavior on the part of YELLOWBEAR, tried to calm him down by apologizing and telling him that she loved him. YELLOWBEAR forced the victim into a bedroom, but she was able to get her children into the room and lock the door with a chain lock. YELLOWBEAR pushed against the door until the chain broke.
YELLOWBEAR pushed the victim onto the bed, called her names, and told her that he would finish her off. Although the victim told YELLOWBEAR no, he laid down on top of her, forced himself between her legs, and engaged in intercourse with the victim. During intercourse, the victim continued to fight and yell.
YELLOWBEAR then walked out of the bedroom. The victim followed and grabbed the phone to call the police. YELLOWBEAR took the phone, broke the phone, and then pushed and slapped the victim. YELLOWBEAR eventually left the house.
The victim was examined by medical personnel and a sexual assault examination was performed. DNA extracted from swabs taken from the victim's vaginal area matched DNA extracted from a blood sample taken from YELLOWBEAR.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that YELLOWBEAR will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, YELLOWBEAR does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lori Harper Suek prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Trip Start
Apr 09, 2006
Trip End
Jun 09, 2007
Crossing the border into Israel was as easy and pleasant as I ever imagined. I left my hotel in Amman at 7AM and jumped in a taxi for one of the main bus stations, which was only a few kilometers away but it was all uphill. Got out of the taxi and immediately joined a shared taxi to the Jordanian / Israeli border at the King Hussein / Allenby Bridge crossing. This is the only place to cross into Israel without having any record in your passport that you have visited. Jordan doesn't view it as an international border (as they still believe it is their territory on the other side) and Israel will gladly stamp a separate piece of paper if asked. Interestingly enough, Jordan still collects a 5JD exit tax. In any case, passports and luggage were checked a number of times along the way - too many times to count.
We (I was hanging with two American girls who were on my bus from the Jordanian border) then arrived at the Arrivals terminal for Israel and everyone offloaded and stood "in line" to hand off our luggage. We also gave them our passports and they did some administrative nonsense that took an hour before returning our passports. We watched as our packs went through the little tunnel into the scanner (and into the building). We then proceeded into the building ourselves and went through the tedious entry process. I ended up only having to wait about 30 minutes in total here for them to run a background check. They were curious about my recent visits to Syria and Lebanon, but all seemed well. The guard called me back up, stamped a separate piece of paper and welcomed me to Israel!
Then the fun starts. One of the American girls was born in Iran and moved to the US as a child. As a result she maintains dual citizenship, i.e. she has two passports. She was getting the full run-around when I proceeded through to get my luggage. I wished them luck and adieu.
I walk through (and had my passport checked three more times) before arriving in the luggage area which was approximately 40 feet away. It looks just like an airport with the conveyor and piles of bags everywhere. Long story short = no bag. When I finally found someone to ask about it (and had to raise my voice a bit to get them to even pay attention to me) they asked for my passport, showed me the sticker on the back. They put a small sticker on the back of my passport after handing over my bag. It was in Hebrew and I couldn't read it. So, the officer points to a zero on the sticker and says, "it says you didn't have any bags", and turned and walked away. Five hours later still no bag and they concluded it must have been stolen from the floor as I was awaiting entry. I called bullshit. The bag handlers must have quite a good income if they divert bags from the system and print tags that say passengers have no bags. The Israeli security didn't care and the police didn't care as I filed a report.
There really wasn't anything of value - I was carrying my small bag with my camera and etc., but the large bag had all my clothes and toiletries. It had a sterling ring I bought in Turkey for about $30USD and it also had a $100 bill that I had hidden in it for backup. There was also a backup ATM card (the number is different than the one I have with me) that I'll be checking often to ensure there is no activity. I don't want to cancel it yet, as it would cause me trouble too. If it is used I'll claim fraud and my bank will reimburse me. My hair trimmer stopped accepting a charge in Jordan and I had JUST bought a new one...never used. The pack itself is what I'm most pissed about I think. Now I'm going to have to find some cheap piece of shit here in Jerusalem that I'm not going to like. Ugh.
Welcome to Israel where they are experts at security. Mutha fuckas.

I have this trimming from a ginseng ficus from last year I put in a small plastic pot that has grown quite a lot over the summer. It has doubled in size and increased the number of leaves so I repotted it to a larger 4''(diameter) pot.
My problem is there are roots growing between the base of the stem and where there the leaves start to grow an inch up from the base. The roots are thick and white (to begin with), some of them have reached the soil level with the base. Some of them have turned darker in color, some now ones are still a bit white, they seem to just be growing and reaching out. I don't know if I should trim them, point them to the soil or just leave them. I've included a pic, i don't know how to add more so i put in the one the shows the root growth best. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is another pic. The red line indicates it's height before summer and shows subsequent growth in the past two months. |
Here is another pic. The red line indicates it's height before summer and shows subsequent growth in the past two months. |
Anyone? The thing just grew a few more leaves and about an extra inch and a half since my last post. It's starting to lean, I just repotted this but at what point do I change up to a bigger pot? |
You can train it to be a bonsai tree. Those aerial roots will eventually become a trunk like structure when they reach the ground and get more nutrients and will be unrecognizable from the main trunk. Or just remove them if that's not what you're after. |

"A democracy depends upon educated citizenry," said Hillary Clinton, who gave an opening address at the summit, held at Georgetown University.
WASHINGTON, October 14, 2011— Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and India's Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibbal co-chaired the US – India Higher Education Summit commenced today at the Georgetown University. The summit brings together over 300 participants from academia, industry, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to discuss the role of education in democracy and the future of both the U.S. and Inda.
Persons present for the Friday, October 13th roundtable discussion included Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Sibal, Richard Levin, president of Yale University and Sam Pitroda, advisor to the prime minister.
In her inaugural address Clinton emphasized that education is an important pillar of the strategic dialogue between the two largest democracies of the world. Both the leaders underscored the importance of deepening institutional collaboration in higher education in the form of more student and faculty exchanges and research collaborations.
Mr. Sibbal applauded the US for the quality of its educational institutions and stated his government's goal to increase the current Gross Enrollment Ratio from 15 % to 30% by 2020.
"To do that, we will need to build an additional 1,000 universities and 50,000 colleges. To serve these institutions, we will require quality faculty of over a million assisted by quality support structures," he said.
Clinton narrated an interesting analogy to highlight the importance of collaborations and more interaction between students from diverse cultural backgrounds.
"A few years ago, a small group of American and Indian classmates at Stanford University decided to work together to build a better baby incubator.," Mrs. Clinton says. "Four hundred and fifty premature and low-weight babies die every hour, and traditional baby incubators can cost as much as $20,000. So the students developed the Embrace baby warmer, a portable incubator for use in poor and rural areas that doesn't require electricity and only costs around $100."
"After graduating from Stanford, this Indian and American team moved to Bangalore to continue working on their idea and launched their project. And it's now in use in hospitals in India and saving babies' lives. Their goal is to save 100,000 babies by 2013"
"Now, this is a simple idea born out of conversations between students from both of our countries talking about shared hopes for a better world that led to action. And it took these American and Indian students from diverse backgrounds and perspectives working together to make it happen" Mrs. Clinton concluded.
There were other stimulating discussions between the university administrators from both the U.S. and India. As the summit brings together the leading "brains" from the two largest world democracies, it will be interesting to see how they leverage "Education" to build a better future for students in both the countries.

Indian Voters' Shrewd & Stunning Verdict
May 21, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Definitely, the average Indian voter has proved to be far more intelligent than sharp political analysts and key political parties probably envisaged him/her to be. The electoral verdict spells a return to power of not just the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) but also a defeat of controversial as well as highly sensitive communal issues raised by certain politicians. Besides, the poll verdict also indicates the major role that can be played by average Indian voter's decision of not being taken for a ride by the tall promises spelt out by politicians in the fray. Not surprisingly, while the Congress leaders are celebrating their return to power with a massive lead over their rivals, the others are pondering are what could be responsible for their dismal performance. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance has won 261 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha, with it being only a few seats short of the magic number-272 needed to claim majority. National Democratic Alliance trails behind with 157 seats, the Third Front – 59 and Fourth Front securing only 27. While the Congress in UPA has bagged 205 seats, the BJP has managed only 116. The left front bloc in Third Front has won just 24. In the Fourth Front, the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) has failed to win a single seat, with its own leader Ram Vilas Paswan suffering defeat, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)'s score has fallen to four, while Samajwadi Party (SP) has managed to win only 23.
Compared to 2004 results, while Congress has gained more seats, most parties have fallen significantly short of what they gained earlier. In 2004, Congress won 148, the SP-30, RJD-23 and the left bloc – 61. The BJP has gained marginally as it won 110 seats in 2004. The performance of Congress in Uttar Pradesh has been phenomenal, where while in 2004 it could not win even 10 seats, this time it has bagged 21. Crediting party leader Rahul Gandhi for improving the Congress' score in UP, Jyotiraditya Scindia said: "All credit goes to Rahul Gandhi for single handedly reviving the Congress in Uttar Pradesh. What worked was the combination of Manmohan Singh's policies and Rahul Gandhi's thrust on party cadres and youth."
It is also held that SP lost Muslim votes to Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) by having aligned with Kalyan Singh, who as the then UP chief minister is held responsible for demolition of Babari Masjid in Ayodhya (December 6, 1992). There is also the view that by reaching out to Kalyan, SP managed to attract votes of Dalits and Yadavs and thus could win 23 in UP. Revival of Congress together with SP's political strategy prevented a substantial chunk of votes from Brahmins, Muslims as well as Dalits going to BSP. The BSP leader, UP Chief Minister Mayawati was apparently banking on winning around 50 percent of seats from UP, which sends 80 legislators to Lok Sabha. It has won 20, increasing its 2004-score by just four seats.
Congress has also gained, with its Trinamool Congress (TC) winning 19 seats in West Bengal. In Andhra Pradesh, the Congress has won 33, Maharashtra- 17, Rajasthan-20, Kerala-13, Madhya Pradesh –12, Gujarat- 11 and Delhi- 7. The BJP has managed to win 19 in Karnataka, Gujarat -15, Madhya Pradesh- 16, UP-10, Maharashtra – 9 Rajasthan- 4, and 12 in Bihar, where its key ally Janata Dal-United has won 20 seats.
Interestingly, neither Congress nor of any its old allies have fared well in Bihar. Differences over seat sharing with Congress in Bihar, prompted RJD, SP and LJP to float the Fourth Front, that has secured only four seats. There is a view, that common Biharis, including the Muslims, have been "taken for a ride for too long by tall promises made RJD and LJP leaders. So they decided to teach them a hard lesson in these elections." With RJD's own score confined to four, that of LJP – zero, in addition to this being a hard hit for their political image, both the parties have lost the numerical importance they earlier held for UPA.
Conceding defeat, BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley said: "We accept voters' mandate with full respect. If we have an overall view of the trends, then we see that we have performed below our expectations as we had expected our tally to improve from the last elections."
Accepting that Congress has performed better than expected, CPI-M general secretary Prakash Karat said: "The CPI-M and left parties have suffered a major setback in these elections. This necessitates a serious examination of the reasons for the party's poor performance." "The Congress and its allies have succeeded all over the country. They have done well on the platform they provided to the voters," he said. Ruling out the option of left supporting the Congress-led UPA, Karat said that they would sit in the opposition.
"Our expectations have not been fulfilled, we admit. Congress is in a position to form the government. Let them form it," Communist Party of India (CPI) general secretary A.B. Bardhan said. On prospects of left supporting the Congress, Bardhan said: "Why should they need our support? They don't need our support. We will sit in the opposition and fight for the cause of the poor."
Poor performance of BJP and the left bloc is also attributed to both groups suffering from a leadership-crisis. During these elections, while BJP was devoid of its chief campaigner – former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, the left bloc had to manage without Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) comrade Jyoti Basu. Both have retired from politics due to health reasons. In West Bengal, unlike in 2004, when CPI-M won more than 20 seats, this time it has got only 9, while its rival TC's score has increased from one to 19.
Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Sharad Yadav holds BJP-candidate Varun Gandhi's "hate speeches" and projection of Modi as future prime minister responsible for NDA's dismal performance. "It may be right or wrong or he (Varun's) might have denied, but his statement has caused immense damage. His statement was unconstitutional. It was against the country's unity and must have affected the polls," Yadav said. Terming projection of Modi as prime minister as a political mistake, Yadav said: "It was a factor. When the issue had come up, it created confusion among the people's mind. Since the NDA had already declared a Prime Ministerial candidate (L K Advani) unanimously, the issue should have been dismissed immediately."
Yadav's comments suggest that in addition to its own campaign, Congress has fared well because of wrong strategies pursued by rivals in the fray. While politicians have yet to figure out causes of their defeat, the voter has shrewdly declared his verdict- giving all in the race to ponder over where did they fail. Undeniably, had Congress checked the seats won by BJP and its NDA-allies in states like Karnataka, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, it may have been able to form a single-party government. Though the Congress has fared well, it still has to deliberate on what prevented voters from extending it greater support!
Varun In Jail: His Communal Strategy For Political Gains Misfires
April 2, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Political drama and media-hype raised over highly communal and inflammatory remarks allegedly made by Varun Gandhi while campaigning in Pilibhit as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for Lok Sabha polls carry a far more significant message than apparent. Undeniably, a primary motive behind the entire drama staged by Varun and his political patrons is to push him and the party into political limelight. Besides, Varun allegedly made provocative comments targeting the minority communities (including Muslims and Sikhs) to create a polarization of votes along religious lines in Pilibhit to attract the majority Hindu community to BJP's side. Clearly, Varun tried his hand at the old-tainted communal card, which had incited public to the stage of riots over Ayodhya-issue, pushing BJP to the center stage as a national party from late 1980s onwards. The political novice apparently remained oblivious of the hard reality that the Indian voter has matured a lot over the past two decades. It cannot be ignored that 2002 Gujarat-carnage played a major role in pushing the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government out of power in 2004 elections. The anti-incumbency factor played a key role in helping Congress return to power, leading the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. Varun has also given little importance to the hard reality that BJP does not have as strong base in UP as it did earlier, which is responsible for Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati winning the state assembly elections in 2007 with a sweeping majority.
The situation would have been different were the national and/or UP government led by BJP. There is no denying that with her eye on capturing the prime ministerial position, UP Chief Minister Mayawati has no intention to agitate the minority community in UP and elsewhere. Hype raised by Varun's political colleagues over his arrest and charges framed against him have ironically not played the part they probably aimed for. Nothing else can be a stronger indicator of this than the fact that neither Varun's comments nor the subsequent developments aroused any communal frenzy to the stage of riots in Pilibhit. Yes, law and order in Pilibhit was put to risk when Varun allegedly made the inflammatory comments and when he courted arrest. The clash, the day he courted arrest (March 28) was between the saffron brigade activists and the police. This certainly defeats the logic exercised by Varun and his supporters to try inciting communal frenzy in Pilibhit.
If Varun assumed that by courting arrest for a few hours or days, he would return to the political field as a hero for his radical supporters, he has been proved wrong. This is marked by UP government slapping the stringent National Security Act (NSA) against Varun, which can keep him behind bars till elections are over. Thus, dismissal of the case filed against him on violating model code of conduct and grant of bails on other charges slapped on him spelt only a minor relief for him (March 30). He was granted bail on sureties of Rs 20,000 each in two cases – one related to allegedly causing breach of peace through inflammatory speeches and the other on charge of violating prohibitory order. The NSA was invoked against him the preceding day (March 29) for making inflammatory speeches at public meetings at Dalganj and Barkhera in Pilibhit on March 7 and 8 and for giving an aggressive speech at the court gate on March 28, because of which his supporters turned violent and clashed with the police. The decision to charge him under NSA was taken at a high level meeting, presided by Mayawati. Clearly, this move signals that BJP's rivals in UP seem prepared to counter attempts made by Varun and his supporters to incite communal frenzy for gaining political mileage by polarization of votes along religious lines.
A three-member advisory committee, comprising of one acting High Court judge and two retired judges, has been set up by Allahabad High Court to examine whether the NSA imposed on Varun is correct or not. The committee is expected to submit its report in three weeks. Till then, Varun cannot appeal against the NSA, which means that the political novice may have to contest polls from behind the bars.
While BJP leaders, including Varun's mother Maneka have strongly criticized invoking of NSA, majority of other party leaders think otherwise. Blaming Congress and BSP for conspiring against Varun, Maneka said: "Misuse of such powerful laws is unjust to Varun and to the country. The BSP and Congress are desperate for votes. They put pressure on the authorities." BSP's key rival in UP, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Mulayam Singh Yadav considers the NSA against Varun as a "tactic" of BJP and BSP to "generate sympathy" towards him. "If the BJP-BSP are not having any sort of tacit understanding, then why was Varun not arrested before the road-show?" he asked.
In the opinion of left bloc and the Congress, NSA against Varun is justified. "A very strong, tough message needed to be sent that no hate speech will be tolerated against any community and it has been sent," Brinda Karat (Communist Party of India-Marxist) said.
"Those who break law to get votes, do divisive politics with open eyes…. They should have courage to face the law if they break it," Congress party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said. On whether invoking NSA in Varun's case was correct, he replied: "If the state government is of the opinion that there is a threat to public order, it (NSA) can be used…. Can there be more threat to public order?"
Once Bitter Rivals, Mulayam & Kalyan Patch Up
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Kalyan Singh, once the Hindutva mascot of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was the Uttar Pradesh (UP) chief minister when the Babari Masjid was demolished in 1992. He has now joined hands with Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP), the very party that had earlier strongly criticized Kalyan for demolition of the mosque. Taking a U-turn on his earlier stand against Kalyan, Yadav said the former was not responsible for the mosque's demolition. "He (Kalyan) did not do that. The mosque was demolished by Shiv Sena and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)," Yadav said within a few days of Kalyan quitting BJP to move closer to SP. Acknowledging that mosque's demolition was Kalyan's "moral" responsibility as he was the then UP chief minister, Yadav said: "Kalyan now represents the downtrodden and working-class and he has always been a supporter of their issues. We cannot call him extremist now." On their being bitter political rivals earlier, Yadav said: "We were never enemies but opposed each other, as we have always been in opposite parties" (January 25).
On his part, suggesting a negotiated settlement on the disputed Ayodhya-issue, Kalyan said: "All concerned parties, including prominent Muslim clerics, saints and sadhus, intellectuals, historians and archaeologists, should sit together and find out an amicable solution to the dispute keeping in mind that the sentiments of no group or community are hurt."
Ayodhya-issue is not responsible for Kalyan's decision to resign from BJP. Announcing his decision to resign from all party posts in BJP, Kalyan said: "I am feeling suffocated in the party and it is impossible and humiliating to continue" (January 20). Clarifying that he had never asked for party ticket for his son or his supporters, Kalyan said that the BJP had ignored him while preparing candidates' list from UP for Lok Sabha elections. "No one consulted me while preparing a poll candidates' list for 80 constituencies. I just wanted Bulandshahr seat but they offered me ticket from Etah, which I have returned to party president Rajnath Singh," he said.
Kalyan is angry with the BJP for nominating Ashok Pradhan from Bulandshahr. He holds Pradhan as responsible for sabotaging his son Rajveer Singh's chances in assembly elections two years ago from Diboi seat in Aligarh. The preceding day, Yadav had said that Kalyan's son was welcome to fight on a ticket from SP. When asked to comment on this, Kalyan said: "I would like to thank him for that. We will see." Rajveer was inducted into SP and appointed its national general secretary, the following day.
Yadav is hopeful that alliance with Kalyan will swing the Dalit-vote in their favor and create a dent in the support enjoyed by Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which at present heads the UP government under Chief Minister Mayawati.
The U-turn in Yadav's attitude towards Kalyan has angered quite a few Muslim leaders within SP. Azam Khan, known as an important Muslim leader of SP, has strongly opposed Yadav's decision to join hands with Kalyan. "This is just not acceptable to me. Kalyan Singh is a hardcore RSS man who was directly responsible for the demolition of the Babari Masjid. How can I brush shoulders with a man like him? What has led Mulayam Singhji to go for such an alignment?"
Saleem Sherwani, who has been elected to Lok Sabha five times, voiced his opposition to the "Kalyan deal" by expressing his decision to contest the Budaun seat as an independent candidate in the forthcoming parliamentary elections. Sherwani is disillusioned with Yadav at his decision to hand over Budaun seat to his nephew Dharmendra Yadav. Though his nephew won the last election from Mainpuri, he earned a bad name there for ignoring the constituency and only allegedly furthering his personal interests. SP chief apparently decided to hand Budaun to his nephew as the constituency has 316,000 Yadav votes and around 290,000 Muslim votes. Sherwani's confidence on winning the seat as an independent rests on his being favored by both the sections.
Muslim leaders within BSP have criticized Yadav's tie-up with Kalyan to win the Muslim-vote. "We have always been calling bluff the Mulayam Singh Yadav's claims of secularism. By joining hands with Kalyan Singh, he has shown his true colors," BSP national general secretary and senior member of UP cabinet Nasimuddin Siddiqui said while addressing a party meeting in Allahabad (January 24). "Muslims must not forget that Kalyan Singh was the very person during whose chief ministership Babari mosque was demolished. Besides, although he has resigned from the BJP he has never ever expressed regret over the incident of December 6, 1992," Siddiqui said.
Congress has no problems with the SP forging an alliance with Kalyan. "Though it's a historical fact that the Babari Masjid was demolished in his (Kalyan Singh) time, now if the Samajwadi Party gives ticket to him or his son (Rajvir Singh), it is between them. We don't have any problem with the alliance," senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh said.
With the SP-Kalyan deal, according to BJP, the Congress can no longer call itself "secular" and cannot absolve itself from joining hands with those who were involved in the Ayodhya movement. One of the accused in the Babari Masjid demolition-case, Brij Bhushan Sharan, a former BJP member was already given a Lok Sabha ticket by the SP.
Irrespective of whatever political calculations may be responsible for the SP-Kalyan deal, Muslim leaders of UP have strongly criticized it. Describing it as an ill advised move, Zafaryaab Jilani, legal advisor to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and also convener of the Babari Masjid Action Committee, said: "Let us see what explanation the SP chief will offer to the Muslims during Lok Sabha elections." The SP will pay heavily by losing Muslim votes in Lok Sabha polls is the opinion voiced by most Muslim leaders in UP.

Benefits of Using Prednisone
There are many health benefits associated with using corticosteroids. Because they are anti-inflammatory medications, these drugs can provide significant advantages over other treatments. The most obvious benefit is the reduction of inflammation. Depending on the medical condition being treated, you may also experience several of the following benefits of corticosteroids.
Fast Relief of Symptoms
Within a short period of time, you will feel the relief of certain symptoms associated with asthma, allergy, arthritis or other disorders. Treating the underlying inflammation can greatly reduce pain and discomfort. And treatment of a primary symptom can prevent secondary symptoms from appearing.
Limited Progression of Certain Disorders
Corticosteroids have been shown to slow the progression of many disorders including rheumatoid arthritis. It can actually decrease the bone damage that often occurs in patients with this condition. Low doses of the drug over a long period of time can be particularly helpful in this regard.
Fewer Visits to Emergency Room
Individuals who use corticosteroids for serious conditions such as asthma have a better chance of getting their condition under control. This will result in a reduction in hospital visits and stays which can be very disruptive to your daily routine and be financially burdensome. Acute attacks that require emergency treatment are frightening and fear can make the condition worse. Prevention of flare-ups is preferred and is possible with this drug.
Reduced Relapses
Because you are able to control symptoms, you will stay healthier longer. The time between flare-ups or episodes will continue to increase the longer you use the medication. Fewer relapses mean you can continue on with your life without worrying about your medical condition. The medication allows you to be symptom-free for longer periods of time.
Slower Muscle Degeneration
Although it is unclear how the drug does this, it has been shown to slow down muscle degeneration which affects one out of every four thousand males. Men who use the drug for disorders that do not involve muscle degeneration may gain a major advantage from this particular benefit. They may end up with better muscle tone in later years.
Prednisone is a highly regarded corticosteroid that offers many advantages to those who use it. Doctors often prescribe this medication with other drugs as part of aggressive treatment for many diseases and disorders. It is possible to realize multiple benefits when taking Prednisone.

In the following essay, Walker, a doctoral candidate at the University of Texas, analyzes how The Chocolate War can be interpreted within the context of Christian beliefs. He also notes that while the pessimism of the novel can be seen as a product of its times, its power to disturb readers makes it timeless.
Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War begins with a seemingly serious remark: "They murdered him." We quickly realize that this is the author's way of telling us, with humorous exaggeration, that a character, who we learn is named Jerry Renault, has just received a heavy hit during football practice. As the novel progresses, though, other details emerge, and our reading of this remark changes. We come to see in it a reference to Christ's "murder," and thus to see Jerry's rebellion against the chocolate sale and everything it stands for as being patterned in part...

The fact that Alexander was able to put the skis on his feet, like any other child, that he was excited about the snow, the air, the move was for us the best gift for the Christmas holidays. Not athletic performance gave necessarily the measure of this project, but the human performance of organizers and volunteers who have been with the children on the sky slope and activities room. Encouragement and support received by the children, they offered them invaluable support to move forward and to overcome limitations. Each day spent in the camp was a life lesson for all present and we hope to be for all who learn about this wonderful project.

Attitude Isn't Everything, But…
I read a book titled 'Attitude Is Everything'. I didn't believe it. Now, many years later, I still don't believe it. I believe attitude is the critical starting point. Our attitude, positive or negative, dramatically affects our experience and our outcome.
A positive attitude is like wearing TAG body spray; everyone wants to get close to you. A negative attitude is like going three days without a shower; no one wants to get close to you.
Some observations I've made about those with a positive attitude:
- They have a Positive Presence. They non-verbally communicate positivity. They have energy, look excited, and their posture says, "I'm glad to be here."
- They take a Positive Approach. They think first of how we can before why we can't. Their world view is can do. Even when facing the impossible, those with a positive attitude believe in the possibilities.
- They give a Positive Response. They're teachable. They own the results without making excuses. Their first response is, "thanks for the feedback."
Attitude isn't everything, but it is something that can't be ignored. I've struggled with a bad attitude more often than I'd like to admit. Am I alone? What do you do to keep a positive attitude?

No one heard Drake's '80s-flavored "Hold On, We're Going Home" track and envisioned a Miami Vice/Scarface-inspired music video complete with rotary phones, machine guns and A$AP Rocky. But the unpredictable and unexpected are what makes Drake Drake, so here we have his latest video—which left us with some questions of our own.

[1805] PET/CT in Pleural Mesothelioma after Talc Pleurodesis and Induction Chemotherapy: Histologic Findings at Hot and Cold Spots.
Alex Soltermann, Peter Kestenholz, Holger Moch, Walter Weder, Hans Steinert. University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland
Background: The role of computed tomography-positron emission tomography with [18F]-fluoro-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG-PET/CT) in evaluating the effect of induction chemotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is unknown. FDG uptake may vary at different sites due to tissue heterogeneity. We aimed for comparing histologic findings at tumor sites with high versus low FDG uptake.
Design: 20 MPM patients with talc pleurodesis during diagnostic thoracoscopy and induction chemotherapy followed by extrapleural pleuro-pneumonectomy (EPP) were included. All patients received a FDG PET/CT scan prior to surgery. Orthogonal whole sections (n total = 86) were taken at areas of maximum (SUVmax, n = 53) and of no FDG uptake (n = 33) and assessed for several histologic parameters (in mm, percentage or semi-quantitatively 0-3) using dichotomized data and Chi-squared tests.
Results: Overall median SUVmax was 2.20 (p<0.001 for hot/cold spots correlated with SUVmax). Hot spots were significantly associated with increased thickness of total pleural rind (p=0.046) and fibrosis (p=0.023) but not thickness of tumor or giant cell reaction. No relation was found with percent sarcomatoid histotype, tumor amount, tumor density, tumor viability and peritumoral chronic inflammation, apart a trend for higher vessel density (p=0.088). Further, hot spots were significantly associated with high proliferation rate Mib-1 of tumor (p=0.044) but not of giant cells. No relation was found for maximal Glut-1 expression intensity in either tumor or giant cells.
Conclusions: Interpretation of PET/CT data in MPM is difficult after talc pleurodesis and induction chemotherapy due to complex tissue composition which particularly includes a mixture of tumor and giant cells, both positive for Glut-1. Most consistently, hot spots are localized to pleural rind areas with high fibrotic activity.
