Government Shutdown: Day Three
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
KWAME HOLMAN: This evening, the Senate was on the verge of doing what the House did last night, approve another version of a continuing resolution, a temporary spending bill to end the partial government shutdown and send hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal employees back to work.
SEN. LAUCH FAIRCLOTH, (R) North Carolina: All that this resolution says is that the federal government can reopen if the President agrees to balance the budget in seven years. It's that simple.
KWAME HOLMAN: President Clinton doesn't necessarily object to a balanced budget within seven years. But he objects to making that commitment now. This afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle argued in vain for his proposal to strip the budget language from the bill.
SEN. TOM DASCHLE, Minority Leader: Our motive is simply to say let's have that debate tomorrow, let's have it on Friday when reconciliation comes, let's get into next week if we have to, but let's at least agree that the thousands of people, the thousands of people who are not getting the services that they expect from their government, services they have paid for in their hard-earned taxes, that at least that much we can agree on, that we are going to give those services back to the people who expect them.
KWAME HOLMAN: But some Democrats wanted to debate the Republicans' balanced budget plan in an attempt to discredit it. North Dakota's Kent Conrad claimed the economic figures Republicans want to use provided by the Congressional Budget Office and the numbers the President prefers provided by the Office of Management & Budget have both been wrong.
SEN. KENT CONRAD, (D) North Dakota: This shows economic growth. The President's plan projected on the blue line what economic growth would look like. CBO was the red line. The orange line shows what's actually happened, what's actually happened, and what's really happened in the real world is both CBO and OMB have been too conservative. They've been wrong.
KWAME HOLMAN: But New Hampshire Republican Judd Gregg accused Conrad of trying to sidetrack the real issue before them.
SEN. JUDD GREGG, (R) New Hampshire: This debate is about whether or not the President wishes to participate in balancing the budget, nothing else. Everything has been taken off of this continuing resolution that the President originally objected to. The only thing that is on this continuing resolution that doesn't involve the day-to-day operation of the government–and remember this resolution only runs for 19 days–the only thing that is on this resolution is a statement that the President will join with the 104th Congress in a commitment to balancing the budget by the year 2002, using CBO numbers. It doesn't say he has to agree to our approach to balancing the budget.
KWAME HOLMAN: Republicans say the President should commit to a balanced budget within seven years and leave the elements of how to achieve that balance open to negotiation, and judging from the vote in the House last night, more than a few Democrats agree.
SPOKESMAN: The yeas are 277. The nays are 151. The resolution is agreed to.
KWAME HOLMAN: Forty-eight House Democrats voted for the Republicans' latest temporary spending bill last night. A week ago, only five did. John Tanner of Tennessee is one of the Democrats who switched.
REP. JOHN TANNER, (D) Tennessee: I want to thank the Republican leadership for bringing forward a better CR than we saw heretofore, and I want to say that I speak for some Democrats who believe that we can balance the budget in seven years and are prepared to support the CR tonight.
KWAME HOLMAN: This afternoon, we talked to Tanner and three other Democrats who voted with the Republicans last night: Gary Condit of California, Collin Peterson of Minnesota, and Blanche Lambert Lincoln of Arkansas. They're part of a moderate group known as the Coalition, and they've proposed their own balanced budget plan. Congressman Condit, what happened on the floor last night, and why?
REP. GARY CONDIT, (D) California: We thought if we could get the seven-year issue out of the way that we could get to the real issue, and that's the reconciliation bill and the budget, and debate the facets of the budget. We had 48 Democratic votes. It takes 52 to secure an override, and actually from my point of view, we worked, all of us worked very hard to get the 48 votes. I thought we might get thirty to thirty-five votes, but we, we went beyond what my expectations were.
REP. COLLIN PETERSON, (D) Minnesota: There was a lot of lobbying on the other side, a lot of pressure on Democratic members that wanted to support a seven-year balanced budget and wanted to get this impasse over with, a lot of arm twisting. You know, had they not done that arm twisting, I think there'd have been 20 more Democratic votes.
KWAME HOLMAN: Congressman Tanner, we understand you spoke to the President last night.
REP. JOHN TANNER, (D) Tennessee: I did. We talked maybe 15 minutes or so on the phone, and he expressed his concern about signing the continuing resolution that was before the body because he felt like that it would tie him into the way the Republicans want to get to a balanced budget in seven years. I told him I held a different view, that I thought in principle we could all agree that we could balance a budget in seven years, and then fight or argue about how we do it on the floor.
KWAME HOLMAN: What did he say to you?
REP. JOHN TANNER: Well, he said, you have a point, and I said, well, I'm sorry we don't agree on this one, as I would tell anyone. We've got to move beyond this stalemate, and I thought this was reasonable.
REP. BLANCHE LAMBERT-LINCOLN, (D) Arkansas: And we can disagree on some of the minutia in terms of how you get to that balanced budget in seven years. We've done that amongst ourselves in our group, but we've worked out our differences, and we've realized that the most important part of that is to come up with a conclusion and more importantly, a solution for the American people, and we've done that within our coalition group. We've come up with a budget that balances the budget of this nation in seven years. It does it in a very fair and equitable way with a great deal of common sense. We've done it without cutting Medicare $270 billion. What we have preached, and many of us taken back to our districts and have found a good bit of support for is the fact that the American people want to be reassured about the future. And one of the ways to do that is to balance the budget, is to eliminate the debt, and to do that first, before you start talking about tax cuts.
REP. COLLIN PETERSON: We've got the solution. The President needs to be talking to us, and the Republicans need to be talking to us. We put a balanced budget on the table that I think most sides can live with. We've said we're willing to step up and vote for the CR and a debt limit increase, if they just play the game straight. And so that's what needs to be done to solve this. We are the solution.
REP. GARY CONDIT: We've been working on our balanced budget for months, and we've kept the White House totally informed about every aspect of our budget. They have been very complimentary to our approach, but they've got to pick door one, two, or three. The President's got to say yes, I'm for a seven- year balanced budget, and that's out of the way, and get to the specifics of that budget, or he's got to say something like, oh, well, I can do a seven-year budget if we don't have a tax cut right now, or I can do an eight-year budget with the tax cuts, but you got to say something, you got to take a position, and you got to let the American people know that your priority is to balance this budget in a designated period of time.
KWAME HOLMAN: This afternoon, President Clinton reiterated his intention to veto the Republicans' temporary spending bill as soon as it's delivered to him.
PRESIDENT CLINTON: Congress should act responsibly and pass a straightforward legislation to open the government and enable it to meet its financial obligations. They should do it right now.
KWAME HOLMAN: And the President tried not to appear too concerned about the 48 House Democrats who voted against him last night.
PRESIDENT CLINTON: No. I would have been concerned if there'd have been enough for a veto override, but they have no intention, those House Democrats, except for maybe just a handful of 'em, of supporting the Republican budget.
KWAME HOLMAN: But House Speaker Newt Gingrich wasn't about to dismiss the vote of the 48 Democrats.
REP. NEWT GINGRICH, Speaker of the House: Maybe he should invite the 48 who voted yes to come down to the White House to talk with him about why they voted yes, why Democrats felt last night on the House floor the yes vote was the right vote to put federal employees back to work, and maybe after he talks to those 48 Democrats, he can conclude that he could legitimately sign this, put the federal employees back to work, and then sit down with Sen. Dole and myself and have a serious discussion of how we balance the budget. Thank you all.
KWAME HOLMAN: But with no end to the current crisis in sight, negotiations on a balanced budget seem a long way off.

Too Few Prostate Cancer Patients Get Bone-Strengthening Meds: Study
Posted 3 Dec 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Dec. 2, 2014 – Many men on hormone therapy for prostate cancer aren't getting bone-strengthening drugs they may need, new Canadian research contends. Hormone therapy, which suppresses male hormones called androgens, helps stop cancer cells from growing. But one consequence of the treatment is weakening of the bones, which can lead to fractures. To reduce this risk, men can be given oral bisphosphonates, such as Fosamax, or an intravenous treatment once a month or once a year with similar drugs, such as Reclast. "There seems to be a clear mismatch between Canadian guidelines regarding bisphosphonate usage in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer and actual clinical practice," said lead researcher Dr. Shabbir Alibhai, a senior scientist at the University Health Network in Toronto. While the low rates of bisphosphonate prescriptions may be appropriate for patients ... Read more

Medicines Are Biggest Culprit in Fatal Allergic Reactions: Study
Posted 10 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Oct. 9, 2014 – Although food allergies have garnered a lot of attention lately, a new study reports that medications are actually the biggest cause of sudden deaths related to allergy. Over a little more than a decade, nearly 60 percent of the allergy-related deaths were caused by medications, while less than 7 percent were caused by food allergies, the study found. "Medications can be dangerous," said study researcher Dr. Elina Jerschow, director of the Drug Allergy Center at Montefiore Medical Center and assistant professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York City. While research from other countries has reported medications as a major culprit in anaphylaxis-related deaths, Jerschow said, the problem has been less defined in the United States. One reason is that there is no national registry for anaphylaxis deaths, she said. The study was ... Read more

Breast Cancer Drug May Help Women Fight a Leading Cause of Infertility: Study
Posted 10 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, July 9, 2014 – Women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a better chance of getting pregnant if they take a breast cancer drug instead of the currently preferred medication, a new study suggests. Polycystic ovary syndrome – the most common cause of female infertility in the United States – causes higher than normal levels of the male hormone androgen, infrequent periods and small cysts on the ovaries. It affects 5 to 10 percent of reproductive-age women, according to background information in the study. Currently, doctors typically prescribe clomiphine (Clomid) to boost fertility for women with polycystic ovary syndrome. However, this new study suggests the drug letrozole (Femara) results in better ovulation, conception and birth rates. "We found a simple and comparatively safe and vastly more effective treatment for [polycystic ovary syndrome]," said lead researcher Dr. ... Read more

Exercise Might Ease Joint Pain Caused by Breast Cancer Drugs
Posted 12 Dec 2013 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Dec. 12, 2013 – Exercise might help breast cancer survivors relieve the joint pain that is a side effect of their medications, researchers say. A new study included patients who were taking aromatase inhibitor drugs, such as Arimidex (anastrozole), Femara (letrozole) and Aromasin (exemestane). Five years of treatment with these drugs is recommended for survivors who had stages 1, 2 or 3 hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. This form of the disease accounts for nearly 70 percent of newly diagnosed breast cancer cases. Nearly half of those who take these medications, however, experience joint pain and stiffness. These side effects are the most common reason patients stop taking the drugs, the study authors said in an American Association for Cancer Research news release. In this study, breast cancer survivors who were taking aromatase inhibitors and had joint pain were ... Read more

Cancer Chemotherapy Tied to Slight Rise in Risk for Leukemia
Posted 14 Feb 2013 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Feb. 14 – Chemotherapy can be a lifesaver for thousands of cancer patients, but a new study suggests that it might slightly raise the odds for a type of leukemia later in life. Over the past 30 years, the risk for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has increased for patients who underwent chemotherapy for certain forms of cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the new study found. On the other hand, the researchers from the U.S. National Cancer Institute said other cancer survivors may have a reduced risk for AML due to a change in chemotherapy agents that occurred decades ago. One expert not connected to the study stressed that cancer patients need to put the findings into perspective. "It's important to realize that the risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia related to prior chemotherapy is small and increases with the number of chemotherapy treatments given over time," ...

New Drug Regimens May Slow Advanced Breast Cancer
Posted 5 Dec 2012 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 5 – An experimental cancer drug may delay the progression of some advanced breast cancers, while a double dose of an existing cancer drug could help women live longer, according to separate studies reported Wednesday. In one study, of nearly 200 women, researchers tested the effects of adding the experimental drug – known for now as PD 0332991 – to Femara (letrozole), a hormonal therapy already used to treat certain breast cancers. They found that women on the combination had a much longer "progression-free survival" – the time a cancer patient lives with the disease without it getting worse. For women on the combination therapy, that period was typically 26 months, versus less than eight months among women given Femara alone. "That's a dramatic difference," said lead researcher Dr. Richard Finn, associate professor of medicine at the University of California, Los ... Read more

Breast Cancer Drug Linked to Sexual Problems in Older Women
Posted 28 Sep 2012 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Sept. 28 – Postmenopausal women treated for breast cancer with drugs known as aromatase inhibitors have high rates of sexual problems, which is an important and underestimated issue, according to a new study from Sweden. Nearly three-quarters of these women reported insufficient lubrication, 56 percent had pain during intercourse, half said their sexual interest was low, and 42 percent were dissatisfied with their sex life. These percentages are much higher than for postmenopausal women who weren't treated for beast cancer, according to researchers Dr. Juliane Baumgart and colleagues at Orebro University and Uppsala University. The study was published online this month in Menopause and appears in the February 2013 print issue of the journal. Women taking tamoxifen for breast cancer treatment also had low sexual interest and more pain with intercourse, but had far fewer problems ... Read more

Anti-Estrogen Treatment Shrank Lung Tumors in Mice
Posted 9 Jan 2012 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Jan. 9 – Combination drug treatment that targets estrogen production significantly reduced the number of tobacco carcinogen-related lung tumors in mice, a new study shows. "Anti-estrogens have been shown to prevent breast cancer in some women," Jill Siegfried, a professor in the department of pharmacology and chemical biology at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, said in an American Association for Cancer Research news release. "If anti-estrogens can prevent lung cancer as well, this would be a major advance, because these drugs are safe to give for long periods and there are no approved ways to prevent lung cancer," she added. Most lung cancers have a type of estrogen receptor that makes tumors grow when they're exposed to estrogen. In addition, aromatase, an enzyme in the lung, produces estrogen. Siegfried and her team found that blocking this estrogen receptor ... Read more

Side Effects Cause Many Older Women to Drop Breast Cancer Drugs
Posted 12 Dec 2011 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Dec. 12 – Severe side effects may be key to why so many older breast cancer patients stop taking drugs that can help prevent a tumor's return, a new study finds. The research also revealed a large gap between what these breast cancer patients tell their doctors about drug side effects and what they actually experience, according to the study authors from Northwestern University in Chicago. Their study included 686 postmenopausal women with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer who were asked about their symptoms before treatment with estrogen-blocking drugs called aromatase inhibitors, which include medications such as Arimidex, Aromasin and Femara. The women were tracked at three, six, 12 and 24 months after starting treatment. After three months, about one-third of the patients had severe joint pain, 28 to 29 percent had hot flashes, nearly one-quarter had decreased libido, 15 to ... Read more

Femara May Beat Tamoxifen at Preventing Breast Cancer's Return
Posted 24 Oct 2011 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Oct. 21 – The breast cancer drug letrozole, marketed as Femara, may be more effective than tamoxifen at preventing the return of breast cancer and improving survival among older women with hormone-sensitive breast cancers, a new study reports. In the study, published online Oct. 21 in The Lancet Oncology, the researchers updated data from an ongoing study of about 8,000 women, which compares the two drugs alone as well as the use of both Femara and tamoxifen sequentially. Femara outperformed tamoxifen in terms of breast cancer recurrence and survival, the study found. Moreover, giving Femara alone to women was more effective than giving it sequentially following tamoxifen. The new study was partially funded by Novartis, the drug company that makes Femara. The hormone estrogen feeds hormone-sensitive cancers, and blocking it may help stave off a recurrence. Femara is part of a ... Read more

Cancer Patients Should Ask Doctors to Use Simple Terms
Posted 28 Sep 2011 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28 – Cancer patients are often faced with many difficult-to-understand treatment choices that can have serious side effects and even mean the difference between life and death. That's why it's crucial that patients insist doctors use plain language in explaining the options, advised Angela Fagerlin, an associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School and a researcher at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center. "People are making life and death decisions that may affect their survival and they need to know what they're getting themselves into. Cancer treatments and tests can be serious. Patients need to know what kind of side effects they might experience as a result of the treatment they undergo," Fagerlin said in a university news release.

Breast Cancer Treatment May Lead to Hip Fracture
Posted 7 Feb 2011 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Feb. 4 – Middle-aged breast cancer survivors face an increased risk for hip fractures, a condition normally uncommon in women younger than 70, a new study has found. Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago say that this may be because early menopause caused by breast cancer treatment and the effects of breast cancer drugs could weaken the bones by the time women reach middle age. The finding came from a study of six women who had survived breast cancer and, in their early 50s, were being treated for hip fractures. Most of the women did not have osteoporosis, but they did have lower-than-normal bone mineral density (osteopenia). This suggests that rapid changes in bone architecture caused by chemotherapy, early menopause and adjuvant breast cancer therapy may not be detected on a bone mineral density test, said Dr. Beatrice Edwards, an associate professor of medicine ...

Certain Breast Cancer Drugs Linked With Heart Risks in Older Women
Posted 9 Dec 2010 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Dec. 9 – Long-term use of aromatase inhibitors, drugs often prescribed to breast cancer patients, may increase the risk of heart problems for postmenopausal women, according to a Canadian researcher. ''There have always been suspicions," said Dr. Eitan Amir, senior fellow at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, who is scheduled to present the findings this week at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in Texas. In December 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration added a warning label to anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor marketed as Arimidex, citing a potential increased risk for heart disease. Amir's team evaluated previously published studies to find out if other aromatase inhibitors also increased the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. ''We looked at seven trials which have compared aromatase inhibitors with tamoxifen,'' he said ... Read more

Experts Issue New Guidelines on Breast Cancer Drugs
Posted 13 Jul 2010 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, July 13 – A leading group of cancer experts has issued new guidelines on the best way to use two classes of hormone therapies for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, the most common form of breast tumor. After a systematic review of medical research on the subject, experts reported that adding an aromatase inhibitor – a drug that reduces the amount of estrogen produced in the body – has clearly been shown to reduce the number of tumor recurrences in postmenopausal women compared with the standard drug tamoxifen, which works by blocking the action of estrogen on cancer tumors that are estrogen-receptor positive. The committee preparing the guidelines recommended, therefore, that all postmenopausal women with this type of breast cancer use aromatase inhibitors either before or after tamoxifen. They also concluded that women could use them as long as five years after ... Read more

Confessions of a Comic Book Guy is a weekly column by Steve Bennett of Super-Fly Comics and Games in Yellow Springs, Ohio. This week, Bennett looks at the All-Star Superman animated movie and its recently departed writer, the source material on which it was based, and speculates on the Kaboom! Peanuts project.
You can't say the media has been ignoring DC's latest direct-to-DVD animated film All-Star Superman. There have been a lot of reports on its big Hollywood premiere, multiple interviews of its celebrity voice cast, and of course reviews. Everyone else seems to be reviewing it so I won't, except to say not only is it very good and very close to the incredibly good source material but the few changes that have been made are actually an improvement; something I didn't think possible. But then the script was written by Dwayne McDuffie, a man who, among his many other accomplishments, is known for not only having delivered accurate animated versions of the DC characters but once he had made changes to them it didn't spark fan outrage so much as synchronized head slaps and cries of "why hasn't anyone thought of doing them this way before?".
I had already begun work on this column when the news of McDuffie's unexpected passing hit the Internet. I'm too busy processing the information at the moment to do the man and his career proper justice here; all I can do now is simply state the obvious. We've all been deprived of a tremendous talent.
Amongst all of this promotion the Comic Book Resources site spoke to the author of the original Grant Morrison and asked him if there was anything in the adaptation that he wished had been included. He responded:
"Oh, it'd be nice if we could have seen the Bizarros, or great if we'd seen the goth girl alone at the top of the skyscraper,"
I've got to admit I experienced a moment of giddy frisson when I read that because that was also one of my favorite moments from All-Star Superman and was relieved to discover that the author shared my opinion. Because I haven't been exactly shy about sharing it; I've been putting that page in front of everyone I can (including ICv2 readers; I've posted it in two previous columns in 2008 (see "Confessions of a Comic Book Guy--Or Would Rather Be A Pig?" and "Confessions of a Comic Book Guy--King of Free Comic Book Day"), citing it as a perfect encapsulation of what the character of Superman is supposed to be about. Or as I've written before, "This is who he is. This is what he does. This is what he's for."
After reading that quote I did a little digging and found something from another interview Morrison did for CBR where he talked specifically about that page and how it tied into what he saw as the post-9/11 mood of the country:
"I had Superman saving the little Goth suicide girl in All Star Superman #10 as a representative of that feeling. A lot of sensitive young kids out there are carrying the weight of our culture's dark side of guilt, self-hatred and barbarism. When those kids cut or harm themselves they're expressing and contextualizing an entire civilization's unconscious death wish. They're acting out the pain and shame of a whole society and acknowledging all our darkest impulses because ultimately someone has to. When Superman hugs Regan, he's hugging us all."
The other story of note this week, for me anyway, was BOOM! Kids, now rebranded as Kaboom!, announcing that they'll be doing something unspecified with the Peanuts characters. Fantagraphics Books has the chronological reprint rights to the strips and it's hard to imagine the Charles Schultz estate permitting anyone else to produce new material, so everyone is left wondering what this could mean. I had been hoping that the publisher would have given us a hint by now but since they haven't I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest they'll be collecting the Peanuts comic books. A lot of people, including me--and I was an absolute Peanuts fiend growing up*--don't know this but artists who did advertising art for the strip created original comic book material. Hopefully by next week we'll find out just how wrong or right I am.
And in case you missed it, Tuesday's Zippy the Pinhead comic strip name checks both Squirrel Girl and the Great Lake Avengers and isn't openly contemptuous of either.
* Now here's a confession for you. I was such a big Peanuts fan upon my insistence my mother, God rest her soul, made me a homemade Snoopy costume which used an old bleach bottle for the nose. Without being asked I decided I was going to wear it to a neighborhood Muscular Dystrophy carnival (do kids still have those?), thinking I would be some kind of attraction for them. As soon as I got there a teenager asked me whether I was a boy or a girl and a kid ripped off my tail. And now you know entirely too much about me.

Sox Therapy
— Where Thinking Red Sox Fans Obsess about the Sox Tag: Mike NapoliFriday, November 23, 2012Sign Mike Napoli (to a reasonable contract)It's been twitter-reported by Jim Bowden that the Sox are in on Mike Napoli but he wants a fourth guaranteed year before he'll sign. I assume Napoli is looking for a contract in the range of $10-15M per season. I'm not so much sold on that fourth guaranteed year, as Napoli is a bad body hitter with old player skills. But I'm going to get to the part where I contradict myself later. I begin with the case for Mike Napoli. First, he's one heck of a hitter. Napoli has hit ... Read More...Matt Clement of Alexandria

California Electricity Generation
The graphs and charts below feature statistics on California electricity generation and consumption. You can compare these graphs for California with whichever states you choose.
Also see electricity generation from renewable energy in California.
Total Electricity Consumption in California
Most economists link electricity consumption directly with economic growth. Analysts at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Information Administration (EIA) project that the U.S. gross domestic product will grow at an average annual rate of 2.9% per year through 2030. And they predict electricity consumption will grow over this same period at a rate of 0.8% per year. That means electric power consumption, and the accompanying infrastructure to produce and deliver electricity, will be about 43% greater in 2030 than it is today.
For California, looking at past consumption trends is one good indicator for projecting growth rates into the future.

ISLAMABAD, April 23: A new kid is ready to enter the sectarian political bloc – Majlis Wahdat Muslimeen (MWM), and observers feel it may challenge the mainstream Shia political group led by Allama Sajid Naqvi.
The aggressive posture adopted by the MWM in recent days in Islamabad to highlight sectarian killings has brought the group to the forefront within the Shia community.
On April 12, the party refused to vacate the Parade Lane outside parliament, even after the camp established by Amina Janjua for the recovery of missing people was relocated by the authorities. Similarly, the Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat – ASJ (formerly the Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan – SSP) was not allowed to hold its protest camp there.
The following day, MWM proceeded to hold Friday prayers at Parade Lane – a first ever for any group let alone a Shia one.
An official of the interior ministry confirmed that the MWM leadership even turned down an offer to negotiate with Interior Minister Senator Rehman Malik on Friday, April 13.
Similarly, its seemingly unknown leaders have gained greater recognition among the authorities – the MWM leaders were invited to the National Assembly Standing Committee on Human Rights to speak about the killings of women and children in Chilas while no-one from the Allama Sajid Naqvi group was invited.
"We are not terrorists and neither do we believe in destabilising the country and its systems," said MWM secretary general Allama Nasir Abbas. "It is our right to protest."
He added that his party was entering politics in 'national interest', and MWM leadership plans to announce it at a rally in Lahore on July 1.
The MWM emerged in 2007 to highlight the woes of ordinary citizens in general and the Shia residents of Kurrum agency in particular where Parachinar had been cut off from the rest of the country for months on end.
The party was still in its infancy stage as its organisational structure was established in April 2011, with the highest post of secretary general going to Allama Nasir Abbas, followed by deputy secretary general to Allama Amin Shaheedi. Their three-year term expires in April 2013, while the highest forum in MWM, Shoora-e-Aali, is composed of 10 ulema with one vote each.
However, what has allowed the group to gain strength is political vacuum in mainstream Shia politics due to the low profile adopted by the Shia Ulema Council (SUC) – a group led by Allama Sajid Naqvi in the past five years since the demise of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal.
Allama Sajid Naqvi is a well-known name in politics, and he took over the TJP in 1988 after the assassination of his predecessor Allama Arif Hussaini.The TJP was banned in 2002 for three years; later its reincarnation Tehrik-i-Islami was also banned leading to a third avatar Shia Ulema Council (SUC).
After Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) was formed, Allama Sajid Ali Naqvi became its vice president. But when the MMA disintegrated, party activities slowed down – partly due to the high risks of sectarian attacks, which have become more brutal than in the past.
Meanwhile, the spokesman of the SUC, Maulana Ashfaq Waheedi, said that Allama Sajid Naqvi is Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jaferia (leader of the Shia nation) and has played a key role in forging unity among Shia-Sunni brethren.
Friction within the SUC is more visible in Karachi, Quetta, Gilgit-Baltistan, Kohat, Parachinar, D.I. Khan and western districts of Punjab.
"At least the MWM was doing something by highlighting the routine killings," said Qasim Ali of North Nazimabad, Karachi, a one-time supporter of TJP.
Another blow to the SUC was the traffic accident of Allama Sajid Naqvi's trusted comrade, nephew and son-in-law Maulana Jalil Naqvi around two years ago. The accident left him paralysed, which has in turn paralysed the party that he handled.
"The best solution for Quaid sahib (Allama Sajid Naqvi) is to delegate powers to somebody else now as everything revolves around his family," said Amjad Sadaf, a diehard party worker from Dhok Ratta, Rawalpindi.
Due to this communication and organisational gap, Allama Sajid Naqvi has lost support among the party cadre and the urban middle class.
"Currently there are other internal rifts too – between clergy and the non-clergy," said Chaudhri Bashir Ahmed, former president TJP, Rawalpindi city. "In other words there is a gap between the revolutionary / progressive minded people and the traditionalist."
The 'traditionalists' within the Shia community are generally the clergy from rural areas who have only madressah education.
The ulema conference organised by the SUC in Islamabad on April 18 this year also witnessed a heavy presence of traditional clergy from Punjab with limited participation of urban-based workers and clergy holding non-religious degrees such as doctors and engineers.
Such internal rifts and the growing resentment among the party supporters, observers feel, can help the MWM attract the middle order of SUC.
Earlier, the main Shia party lost workers and members when Sipah Muhammad parted ways with TJP. The main reason then too was Allama Sajid Naqvi's soft stance on the 'enemy', a euphemism used for SSP or ASJ.
"When we started to retaliate against the Sipah-i-Sahaba, the Allama joined them in the Milli Yakjehti Council in 1995. Later when they were in trouble due to international politics, he joined them in the MMA and now when Shias are being killed all over country nobody is coming up," said a former area commander of Sipah Muhammad, who prefers not to be named due to pending court cases.
This is also a party that is embracing the social media and other modern forms of communication. The younger lot in MWM, which includes many students from Parachinar, are using the internet to highlight party activities, including footage of public gatherings in Karachi and Jhang.

In one multiplayer round killed an opponent with a sniper rifle, sidearm and melee attack |
Self explanatory in one round kill an opponent with a sniper rifle, sidearm and a melee attack. If you are doing this in a ranked match I would recommend getting a melee kill first, then a sidearm kill and a sniper rifle kill last. But this can be obtained easily in a private match. |

My phone is stuck in a weird error. Says basically that the update didn't install correctly. Kies3 won't recognize it. It says that the drivers have been installed and are ready to use but I guess I'm supposed to run some kind of verizon recovery that you see when you first hook up to your PC but of course it doesn't come up for me now. Now what do I do?
So what samsung is it? What stage are you at now: Will it boot? Will it boot into recovery mode (usually Power, Home and Volume UP)? Will it boot into download mode (usually Power, Home and Volume DOWN)?
Note 3. It powers on with a batt pull. Odin mode in red at the top of the screen with some other stuff under it. A yellow triangle and under it it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue: please use software repair assistant and try again.
Samsung Kies 3 has an option to help you recover from firmware upgrade problems. I see it there but have never used it myself. You can download it here, SAMSUNG KIES

Distraught over marital problems, a 28-year-old-woman of Golconda committed suicide, while her two children are battling for their lives.
K. Padmavati, who poured kerosene on her children — K. Ambika (10) and K. Siddharth (8) — and set them on fire on Sunday night, later torched herself.
She died on the spot, while the children are undergoing treatment at a hospital. Doctors said their condition is critical.
Police said marital problems could have forced Padmavati to take the drastic step.
Padmavati had been living alone after her husband deserted her four years ago.

The BlogWHY WE WEREN'T iN VIETNAM11:00 PM, Nov 5, 1995
• By JOSHUA MURAVCHIK
But you do not have to accept any of Garfinkle's main arguments to enjoy and profit from his painstaking reconstruction of the history of the antiwar movement. He has undertaken prodigious research (he is a few years too young to have experienced most of it firsthand). For those who were close to the scene, it is fun revisiting the arguments between Norman Thomas and David Dellinger, the brief triumph of the Trotskyist Socialist Workers party as the leader of mass antiwar demonstrations, and the final break-up of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) at a convention that pitted doctrinaire Maoists against a somewhat less doctrinaire faction calling itself the Up- Against-the-Wall Motherfuckers. Thus did its extreme segments flame out, but the movement they left behind triumphed, choking off U.S. aid to the governments of South Vietnam and Cambodia, serving those nations up to the Communists. And, building on the McCarthy campaign, the movement succeeded as well in making the Democratic party its own. The firmness of its grip has been demonstrated anew by Bill Clinton, who campaigned as a different kind of Democrat but has governed as one who cut his teeth in the movement and bears its indelible imprint. Joshua Muravchik, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, was national chairman of the Young People's ocialist League from 1968 to 1973. His most recent book, The Imperative of American Leadership, will be published by AEI earlyl next year. |

MOE drafts plan for college tuition hikesThe China Post news staff October 28, 2012, 12:09 am TWN The China Post news staff--According to a recent announcement by the Ministry of Education (MOE), college tuition fees may rise by a maximum 10 percent for public university freshmen and 5 percent for all students in the 2013 semester.
In a draft proposal for tuition fee adjustments, the hike is separated into two parts — a mandatory 5-percent fee increase for freshmen students who attend public universities, and an additional rise for every student depending on their particular school's annual student cost increase. The second increase will not exceed 5 percent. The MOE stated that this is a mechanism drafted to subsidize students from economically disadvantaged homes. In a press statement released on the MOE website, the new proposal aims to subsidize disadvantaged students who have difficulties paying tuition fees. According to Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education under the MOE Sophia Ma, the ministry will collect the 5-percent increased payment from university freshmen and redistribute the funds to students who have difficulty paying the tuition in the form of scholarships or financial aid. Shih Hsin University President Lai Ding-ming concurred with the proposed draft from the ministry to redistribute the tuition payments but hoped that a portion of it would be given to private school students. "Generally speaking, the majority of the students who attend public colleges come from higher income families, whereas a significant amount of students from private colleges come from a lower income family," he said. Parents and Students Against Hike Parent and student groups have come out against the plan, stating that this is not the time to increase tuition, as Taiwan's economy is showing little sign of improvement. Moreover, the government does not have sufficient information to support the 5-percent hike while using "the disadvantaged" as an excuse to increase fees. National Cheng Kung University President Hwang Hwung-hweng stated that the school will be holding several discussion meetings with parents and officials before raising the tuition fees. "We need to think of students' financial situations. Furthermore, much of Cheng Kung's income comes from intellectual property revenue, so hiking the tuition fees wouldn't be as necessary," Huang said. Public Hearing to be Held Ma explained that numerous public hearings and meetings would be held before the end of the year for the exchange of ideas from all sectors. "The drafted proposal should be sent to the Legislative Yuan before December and hopefully the new policy would come into effect in the new semester of 2013," she said.
1 Comment October 30, 2012 curtisakbar@ This is retarded, increase fees to help those who can't pay the fees already. Don't they know that by increasing fees more people won't be able to pay them and so they need to help more people! What bright spark thought up this idea, prob' the same one that has designed so many of the wonderful junctions in Taiwan that have 3sets of traffic lights for the same direction. |

We have compiled a catalog of frontal dust storms in the northern hemisphere using Mars Orbiter Camera daily global maps spanning ~2.3 Martian years of Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) observations (from 1999 to 2003). The most vigorous frontal storms that flush dust to the low latitudes occur in early-mid fall and mid-late winter, away from the northern winter solstice. While many streaks are observed in the polar hood during the winter solstice period, no frontal dust storms are observed in the vicinity of the north polar region. We have also analyzed simultaneous MGS Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) temperature data and found statistically significant negative temperature anomalies associated with frontal storms. In the lowest scale height of the atmosphere, the geographical and seasonal distributions of temperature standard deviations associated with transient variations agree well with the distributions of frontal storms. The correlation deteriorates with increasing altitude, suggesting that lower-level temperature waves are associated with the frontal dust storms. Specifically, eastward traveling m = 3 waves with periods of 2–3 sols appear to be closely related to the development of flushing frontal storms.

Officers and some of the ship's crew gather on HMCS Niobe's quarterdeck at sea.
Ships' crews assembled in open spaces on deck for a variety of purposes, including inspections and religious services. In the foreground, a band clusters around two of Niobe's 6-inch guns. Bands were a standard component on larger ships, performing ceremonial duties and helping to maintain morale. This assembly represents only a small proportion of the more than 600 crew necessary to operate Niobe at sea.

Lucrezia Marinella and the "Querelle des Femmes" in Seventeenth-Century Italy Paola Malpezzi Price and Christine Ristaino |
About the Authors: Christine Ristaino received her Masters degree and a PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Italian literature and currently coordinates the first-year Italian language program at Emory University. Since 2004 she has been collaborating on a textbook and new language pedagogy based on cultural acquisition titled the Italian Virtual Class, Chiavi di Lettura project. Ristaino became interested in Lucrezia Marinella when she read an article about her written by Paola Malpezzi Price. She has been a dedicated follower of Marinellas work ever since and was delighted when presented with the opportunity to work with Malpezzi Price on this book. Her current research interests include Italian cultural studies, language pedagogy, the Baroque and the marvelous, and Italian women writers. |
This book intends to prove that Lucrezia Marinella should be included in the Italian and European literary canons as a most remarkable contributor, as she excelled in several literary genres: epic, hagiography, poetry, and treatise writing. It also examines the place that Marinella holds within the dominant literary tradition of seventeenth-century Italy as a writer, as well as a woman who lived within a predominantly patriarchal culture. Integrating its values and expectations into her own view of reality, Marinella interprets literary tradition through her perspective by presenting female heroines engaged within the pastoral and epic traditions, the allegorical mode, and the spiritual quest. The purpose of most of her work is to show the nobility and excellence of women and to defend the reputation of women from the slander directed at them by men. Although several articles have been written on various aspects of Marinellas work, a thorough and critical analysis of her most important works, and especially of her last one, together with an assessment of her place in Venetian, Italian, and European womens literary histories, are still missing. This book fills that void. For a full description, search our online database.

I'd go for option A myself, but I definitely notice that the less of those simple carbs I have the less desperate I feel and the less I want them.

So, I think treats are essential.
My question is, do you all find it better to: (A)Have a small treat every day? Or (B)Go all out with a cheating treating blow out day once a week or so? I'm inclined to think the (A) is a better helthier way to go, but I usually end up doing (B). Hm. So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I definitely allow myself the occasional sin. Of course, I do it more now that I've reached my goal weight, otherwise I felt really guilty before when I did it. Plus, I generally try to fit the sins into my calorie range, or go for a jog the next day to make up for it.

Well we do still have a life so we should be able to enjoy it now and then. I use the Curves trick! I weigh myself every morning when I am up 2 lbs I eat 1200 calories for 2 days Voila gone. Then back to normal healthy eating with treats here and there. Your body does raise its metabolism to accomodate the extra calories so long they are within reason and it is given time to adjust! Doing this therefore raises your metabolism and you come to a point you are eating normally with only 2 diet days a month to maintain.
PS I can lose 4 lbs in those 2 diet days! Run faster, run farther until you hit the wall of realization that you CAN do anything you put your mind to! Jeanette
If your on maintance, there is no food word called sin only moderation. I drive a clean week without maintance extra's (not the extra one is allow to use daily) if I know I am going to a party, with the exercise I do I have to eat at some stage so Flemming doesn't moan at me to put on weight again lol...
I eat my extra's by looking at my core weight in the mornings, if the scales rise too fast eating a type of food I wait until my weight returns where I want it to be again, then try another variation until I find something I can use regularly... We are all differently screwed together and burn off differently. My food I have to be careful with is bread as sits like a stone next morning if I eat to much... Fast food, can be made healthy at home, but cutting out all the extra fat and calorie heavy dressings. I also use pumpkin fries, which are under the vegetable catagory and are unlimited.. I make them in the oven on a special telfon tray... Edited by: RENA1965 at: 4/25/2008 (15:25) "I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own.

It depends on how you define a sin. If a sin is having some Weight watchers ice cream, yes. If a sin is going to McDonalds and ordering a shake, no.

I wonder how good it is for my family now when I want desert almost every time I go out, so I can eat 3 bites and leave the rest for them, cause they always finish it off for me. Probably not very nice of me.

I eat something sweet and satisfying everyday!! If not I would definitely binge when I finally did enjoy the treat.

Landowner1, well, Reese and Milky wouldn't be the strangest names for kids.... ;)
But heck yeah! All in moderation!! |
Totally... I do. I choose the lower fat and calories versions mostly, though. Like Skinny Cow ice cream; stuff like that.
If I over do it on the sweets, I just exercise more. All in moderation, right! Hehe... Haha... LOL... LMFAO... Bwahaha... Muwahaha... :D... :P

If you love it, eat it! Just in moderation. If I denied myself chocolate, it's all I'd ever think about! I'd rename my kids Reese and Milky, trade in my dog for a Chocolate Lab, and become an astronomer so I could study the milky way. Much easier to just grab a tbl of dk chocolate chips and mix in some raisins to ease the guilt!
On maintance with DDV (danish weight consultants) I have to cut back my vegetable intake and meat intake to accommodate up to three extra's of my choice each day. However now I run, I eat all my vegetables and more extra's some days.
I can definitely feel the difference between real hunger and can ignore emotional eating. I now plan my extra's when offered a cup of coffee with my clients, this is one situation I hate saying no because some of them never see another soul over me during their lonely day.

Blue Bunny (Walmart Super Store) has a delicious fudgecicle that is .5 pt. They are so good that my grandkids and the neighbor kids ask for them. It's a wonderful treat! Much cheaper than the WW fudgecicles.
I try to eat more veggies and fruit for mid afternoon snacks but I usually have 1 sin a day and stay within the serving size that the package says (1/2 cup icecream is enough, usually). I did have a bit of a food crash for a bit so now I'm trying to bring myself back on track.

I enjoy my weekends, and eat my favorites at that time, staying within limits during the week. A diet coach has said "be with it 80% and off 20%. That is a lifestyle i can stay with....let's see, out of 21 meals a week, that is 4 meals a week off. works for me! But I really have to be serious about my exercising 1 hour 4 times a week to get by with this plan!
Skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Crystle Lite in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Thats true for me too, its much preferable to me to do extra exercise and enjoy my food than exercise less and cut the calories!!

I eat a lot of treats. I still really enjoy food. The difference for me now is that I also really enjoy physical activity, so I can burn off the extra calories, and I also think of food more in terms of fuel than I used to, so it keeps me from going overboard.

I sometimes eat "sinful" foods. One thing that's important for me though is it really has to taste good; if the treat isn't that great I won't continue to eat it just b/c I started. Last night, I had pizza and breadsticks & really enjoyed them so I feel it was worth it. Plus, sometimes I tend to be really low with my calories at the very low range of my SP calorie range, and I even wind up losing weight the next day--I prob. sped up my metabolism or whatever I guess. Karen
I've been eyeballing that Chocolate Muffin recipe! I think I'm going to give them a whirl the way you make them, with the mini chips & zucchini!
It's, not, how you start, it's how you finish, And it's, not, where you're from, it's where you're at. One must eat to live, Not live to eat.
My favorite treat of late that doesn't throw the entire WW plan in the garbage: Low Fat Chocolate Muffins from the Sparkpeople Recipe site. I cut the chocolate chips in half and use mini; and add a cup of shredded zucchini for fiber. They then become a high 1 pt. food (two equals 3 points). I keep them in the refrig, and heat one in the microwave a day. What a wonderful chocolate sweet treat they are!
Heck yeah I eat treats!
It's like everyone else says--if you don't have a little fun eating chocolate sometimes, life just isn't as good, and it won't destroy your maintenance as long as it really IS sometimes instead of constantly, or in large amounts. I think of it this way: when I was a teenager, my friends whose parents would harp on them every day saying "Don't you ever think about drinking alcohol, don't you ever think about drinking alcohol, one drop of alcohol and you will be sorry!"--well, those were the kids who eventually couldn't stand the curiosity anymore and started drinking, and then some became drinkers because once didn't feel so bad. But the friends whose parents made the choices and consequences clear but did NOT bring it up every single day as the Forbidden Holy Grail seemed to have less interest in overdoing it. I think any food that you turn into the Forbidden Holy Grail will be the same. You'll deny yourself cupcakes like a saint over and over again, until you're DREAMING about cupcakes every night and finally one day you buy a dozen at the grocery store and polish them off in one sitting. But if you tell yourself, "I'm going to have ONE cupcake a week and enjoy that one," it's a lot easier and its effects on you are smaller. Anyway, I agree with you that looking around the room at a foodfest can be a great motivator! Pre-South Beach Weight (August 2006): 160-165

Definitely, though try to eat as healthy as possible but treats I need!

LissV33 - I do that, too, most of the time. After a bite or two, if I am not enamoured with the food, into the trash it goes. If I'm going to spend the calories on something unhealthy, it's going to be tasty!!
So, yes, I do have treats. Sometimes, I have to think and be very carefully that I don't overdo it but, yeah. When I started on SparkPeople, I said that I wanted to learn how to eat properly, not learn how to diet and then go back to my old habits... and that if it meant it took twice as long to lose the weight, SO BE IT. And it's working. :) |

I'd like to met the ONE person who says they don't allow a treat now and then. When there are treats at work I take a bite and decide if eating it is worth all of the fat and calories. Usually not unless it is a Krispy Creme. I don't know why I love them so much.
Definitely! I love cookies, etc, I make sure I have enough calories for them.
I started 3/6/07 at 149. I have lost almost 22 pounds.

I hear ya, WWOFPITCHER! I don't beat myself up either. And it's easier to get off a couple of pounds than it is to get off 10+!
amy Fuel your body. Don't feed your tastebuds!
After I've eaten a lot of things that I shouldn't, I feel so bad physically (kind of like a hangover) the next day, that I don't want to do that for quite a while again. After a while, though, I do it all over again. So far, I have been able to get back on program and get the extra weight back off (again). I think the trick is to get it back off while it is still a pound or two.
There definitely has to be treats in my life! Cookies being my favorite. Now I know to include the calories and look for healthier cookies to satisfy me.
And I certainly won't beat myself up over a piece of cheesecake either! ~Amanda

I'm not good all the time. I have the occassional treat. I buy single serving sizes so there won't be a 3 pound bag of something in the house. I have no willpower! amy p.s. Right now I've got a bread craving and I thinkin' Pizza Hut breadsticks would work. Fuel your body. Don't feed your tastebuds!
Having a sinful treat once in a while is NOT how I came to be overweight. Habitually overeating (chiefly healthy foods) was how I came to be overweight. So, I absolutely allow myself treats -- as long as they stay treats and not a part of my normal routine, I don't have a problem with it. Like the previous poster wrote, not making any food "forbidden" makes it easier to avoid feeling deprived and then binging. Lucubratrix: one who studies by night.

I don't deprive myself of any food. I just count it towards my total calories. But, I do eat a bite here or there. So, I allow about 200 calories of my total to catch the chip I just ate out of my son's bag of chips or the jelly bean I ate. And I plan on some days being higher in calories than others because its a special occasion. I guess, you can say I plan my cheats.

I have sinful goodies more often than I care to admit. I usually allow myself a cheat day now and then. The only rule is that there can be no leftovers. Once the cheat day is over - all the sinful goodies have to be gone. I am one of those people who just can't keep stuff like that in my house or I will eat it!
But seriously, I think no food should be forbidden - it only makes you want it more. And we do still have to live normal lives where we have to attend wedding, birhtdays, etc and there will be food there. One day won't make a difference in your long term maintenance. Three weeks, however, will make a big difference - so don't let that one day turn into two then three then two weeks, etc. Dog Lovers Team Leader
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." Unknown |
Is eating dangerous goodies the only sin left? If so, I feel sinful. Last night we were at a big birthday party for a friend. M&Ms in party cups at each place setting -- dessert before dinner, right? I went to town on 'em, despite funny DH saying "Stopit stopit stopit!" Then came zitti etc., cake & cupcakes for dessert... Oh boy. But I'm feeling it now. Maybe in a way I was testing myself. Maybe I just wanted to be bad once, maybe even celebrate just once, and today, back to maintaining.
Do you ever allow yourself sinful goodies? On a rare, rare basis? Or, unlike me, are you good all the time? Dana P.S. What stopped me in mid-cupcake: looking around the room. They all looked like I used to look. Worse. Rolls of fleshy tires straining against the sequins... I thought noooo! I'm still thinking that now... The longest journey begins with a single step. And then a thousand others, and then a thousand others. Deal with it. :)

Dr. Susanne Renner, one of the authors of the article, comments: "Updating and summarising the available information on Indian Cucurbitaceae and linking it to molecular data and images may help to focus phylogenetic and floristic research on poorly known species, and potentially strengthen conservation efforts. It may also provide vital genetic information to improve the current varieties of pumpkins, cucumbers, and their relatives."
