Freezing, where one or both legs become literally stuck to the floor, can often result in falls. This makes the treatment of freezing a critical part of managing Parkinson's disease. One of the most mysterious and scientifically elusive features of Parkinson's has been the ability to break freezing episodes with what has been referred to as "cueing". You may have witnessed this phenomenon in the 1990 movie Awakenings, featuring Robin Williams. The movie showed several cueing strategies, including a checkerboard floor. Cueing has long been used as a common and very simple strategy to improve walking and build on exercise regimens in Parkinson's disease.
In this month's issue of the journal Movement Disorders, Dr. Bastiaan Bloem and colleagues from the National Parkinson Foundation Center of Excellence in the Netherlands, examine the price of providing an auditory cue during walking for Parkinson's disease sufferers by using a metronome that was set to a preferred pace for each patient. Patient heel strikes on a treadmill had to be synchronized to the sound generated by the metronome. Investigators, as a planned part of the study, would unexpectedly drop an obstacle onto the treadmill, and then observe if patients could successfully avoid it by using their most affected leg (one side of the body is usually more affected in Parkinson's disease).
The study found that the metronome as a cueing strategy improved walking and most patients were able to avoid the obstacles. However, an important result of this study was that patients with known freezing problems were found to be less efficient at avoiding obstacles while using the metronome. This study will provide invaluable information to health care professionals asked to prescribe strategies to overcome walking and/or freezing problems in their Parkinson's disease patients. Doctors and therapists will now need to be mindful that if their patients are freezing, a cueing strategy may potentially lead to falling, as a normal daily environment occasionally will include unexpected obstacles.

Madonna, Mexico City
Graciela Iturbide is one of the best-known Mexican photographers of the last four decades. The images in this gallery represent series from different parts of Mexico, of which the most important is her breakthrough photoessay Juchitán of the Women (1979–86). In a documentary style notable for its humanistic grace, the series focuses on the indigenous Zapotec people in the town of Juchitán, in southeastern Mexico, where women dominate all aspects of social life, from the economy to religious rituals. The most emblematic image of the series, Our Lady of the Iguanas, shows the power and dignity of a Zapotec woman, who carries on her head live iguanas that form a bizarre crown. Four Fishes shows a woman displaying fish for sale from the private space of her home, the clay and straw of the wall echoing the scales of the fish.
Like her teacher, the photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo (at one time the husband of Lola Alvarez Bravo, whose work hangs nearby), Iturbide portrays Catholic traditions intertwined with pre-Hispanic rites and superstitions, showing a culture in constant flux. Approaching her subjects directly and frontally, Iturbide represents a dreamlike reality with great compassion, or, to use the artist's own word, "complicity."

Guests can mingle in the hotel's handsomely vibrant drawing rooms, while some guestrooms have private courtyards overlooking the hotel's stunning English garden. One drawing room is romantically adorned with rose prints and oil paintings, while the lobby greets guests with a more austere ambience. The attentive service, however, might have guests wondering whether this isn't a gracious private home after all. Number Sixteen's sense of subdued, relaxed modernity is brought to its apex in the conservatory and exquisite private garden, whose reflecting pond, fountain and lush foliage offer precious seclusion amidst the city bustle. Number Sixteen is situated in the heart of South Kensington, just steps away from the Victoria & Albert and Natural History Museums and a short walk to Harrods, Knightsbridge and Brompton Cross shopping. Kensington Gardens is close by and the area is filled with some of London's most interesting bars, cafes and restaurants.
This is no private residence
With its wrought-iron balustrades and column-supported porticoes, only the corresponding house number suggests that the white-stucco Victorian terrace is the hotel Number Sixteen – and not an upscale private residence, situated just steps from London's major museums and Harrods.
Interior Design
Elaborate detail and dramatic patterns
The eclectic furnishings – a mix of antique, contemporary and ethnic accents – keep the aesthetic fresh and elegantly eccentric. Pretty detailing such as colorful glass beads on cushions and shell buttons stitched on to curtains give the rooms a feminine quality, while bold prints and trademark flourishes such as oversized headboards mean they don't feel too dainty.
Made by Originals
Kit Kemp
Together with her partner Tim Kemp, award-winning designer Kit Kemp stands at the helm of nine hotels. This quirky design guru's aesthetic reflects a fresh, modern take on English style. Mixing eras with state-of-the-art technology, the self-taught designer follows no rules but her own, creating a signature style that strikes the perfect balance between classicism and modernity. Kemp's pioneering work earned her the Andrew Martin International Interior Designer of the Year in 2008, and her hotel group Firmdale Hotels received the Queens Award for Enterprise in 2000, 2006 and in 2009.

"Gardner's presents a narrative that runs like a thread of unity through the text."
"I examined the options, and found Gardner's to be the best in giving the students the best images and the clearest discussion of both style and historical context."
"What I particularly like about the Gardner is its flexibility for a variety of pedagogical/methodological/thematic approaches, which is due to the depth of its coverage of certain very pivotal figures/moments/issues in western art history."

I'm a big fan of the new "gridX" layout, except it kinda clobbers us in printing. What you see is not what you get. Every gridX div prints on a new line, so printouts are extra long and not WYSIWYG.
For a long time I used table-based layouts because the old "col" layouts did this too. Now I've mostly switched over to gridX and I'm getting complaints. I know printing web pages isn't always a good practice--frequent changes and tree killing and all--but sometimes somebody really does want a hard copy, and they're not happy when it looks nothing like what's on the screen. The biggest demand is probably on our grad program summary pages, like this one: http://www.unl.edu/gradstudies/prospect ... stry.shtml .
Can this be fixed/improved at the WDN level with a shared print stylesheet?

Snow expected in Cumbria
Last updated at 14:43, Friday, 11 January 2013
TEMPERATURES are expected to tumble by almost 20 degrees Celsius in Cumbria over the next few days.
An unseasonably mild start to the year has fooled nature into believing spring has arrived but a freezing forecast has been released by weather experts.
The Met Office reported top temperatures of 11 degrees in Cumbria on Tuesday and said the mercury would have climbed even higher over the previous weekend.
A spokeswoman said dramatic changes have already begun though.
"We are losing the south-westerly winds which saw the warm winds from the Atlantic and brought the milder weather," the spokeswoman explained.
"There will be a return of night-time frosts and there will be snow at times as well."
She said the fells will see the first of the snow on Saturday, but as a weather front sweeps south through the country, some parts of Cumbria will experience snow in the early part of next week.
The spokeswoman continued: "Temperatures by day will be lower than they have been: over the weekend and into next week they will probably not be more than 2 degrees during the day, and you are looking at -5 to -8 degrees at night in the countryside."

Family of 14 relocates to Australia
Last updated at 14:20, Sunday, 08 April 2012
IMAGINE the stress of quitting your job, packing up all your possessions and flying 10,200 miles to start a completely new life in a foreign country.
Now imagine doing all that with 12 children in tow.
That was the unenviable challenge facing parents David and Jackie Jones this morning when the family said goodbye to Barrow and prepared to say "G'day" to Brisbane, Australia.
But if Mr and Mrs Jones were daunted by the prospect of herding a dozen children aged between four months and 18 years through a maze of airports, security screenings and customs checks, they were not showing it yesterday.
"It doesn't really faze us, to be honest," Mr Jones, 42, said ahead of the impending 25-hour flight.
"We've been to Majorca for the last five years and we've just got back from Euro Disney on the Eurostar and it all went smoothly, so we'll call those practice runs."
Mr Jones, who finished after 15 years at the Kimberly-Clark paper mill in Barrow earlier this week, said the big move was first floated in May 2010.
"I've got to do the best for my kids and I feel like the way the UK is at the moment that the opportunities I want for my children are not going to be there," he said.
"So what we did initially was all sit down together as a family and told them what we were thinking and asked who wants to move and who doesn't want to. And they all wanted to.
"It was unanimous."
The one-way air fare alone has cost the family £8,000.
The Joneses will initially stay with friends – fellow former Barrow residents Frank and Mandy Tucker – in Brisbane until Mr Jones can find work and Mrs Jones, 43, a house big enough for their brood.
"What I've said to everyone is that I don't want any tears because it's a happy time," Mr Jones said.
"It's not a bereavement and no-one's died and nothing bad has happened.
"It's a happy time because it's a new life and a new opportunity for all of us."

Three county men are facing several drug-related felonies after officers serving a search warrant found drugs.
According to information filed in district court, on Tuesday, officers with the Pushmataha County Sheriff's Department and District 17 Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at the residence of Ronald Clark. When the officers arrived, they found Clark as well as Jamie Calhoun, and Joshua Wade Scherer sitting at a table.
During the course of the search, officers found a metal can in Calhoun's pocket that contained a green, leafy substance and a glass meth pipe was lying on the table. A cigarette pack lying near the pipe contained a plastic bag with a white substance and a plastic bag with a green, leafy substance.
Officers also found a hardware box on the table with a black bag containing plastic bags with white residue and a metal container with a green, leafy substance. The substances found field tested for meth-amphetamine and marijuana and the three men were arrested.

I LOVE this fabric. As much as I'd love to use it myself if I won, I would have to use it to make a Christmas Tree Skirt for my son and *almost* DIL. They don't have a tree skirt yet (other than a really gross one they got at the Salvation Army just to have one last year) and how perfect their tree is white with all blue lights. AND her favorite color is teal so this is somewhat close right? She would absolutely love this.
Thank you so much for the chance.

Local experts say they are encouraged by early signs from new pontiff from Argentina
In the day since Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, religious scholars have begun dissecting his writings, teachings and philosophy.
Exactly who is this Argentine Jesuit chosen to lead the Roman Catholic Church? Why did he take the name of the founder of another order, the Franciscans? Is there a message in his decision to visit Rome's Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he arrived in a Volkswagen and not the papal Mercedes, before celebrating the traditional first papal Mass at the Sistine Chapel?
In San Diego County, religious experts are hungry for more intel on the new Holy Father.
For Jimmy Akin, that means using his elementary and rusty Spanish skills to learn first-hand what the former cardinal from Buenos Aires believes and advocates as he waits for English translations of Bergoglio's works.
"We are in the process of learning about him. I'm very encouraged so far," said Akin, senior apologist for the publisher Catholic Answers, a radio host and the author of books such as "Mass Confusion," "The Salvation Controversy" and "Father Knows Best."
The new pontiff is being highlighted for his humility — living in a small apartment and taking the bus — and outreach to the poor. He's also being painted as a social activist, unlike his immediate predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, who was best known as a theologian.
But scholars caution against making hasty comparisons.
"Be careful of the all-too-simplistic narrative that pits Benedict against Francis as 'traditionalist' and 'modernizer,'" said Michael Barber, a professor of theology, scripture and Catholic thought at John Paul the Great Catholic University in San Diego.
"Simply put, Francis has advocated the teachings of both John Paul II and Pope Benedict. Benedict was no 'business as usual' pope: He appointed the first woman as undersecretary of a pontifical council. He systematically revised canon law, enacting stricter regulations for clergy involved with sexual abuse. He implemented key reforms of the Vatican bank."
Akin and Barber are both experts on Catholicism and devout Catholics.
After studying the different paths of Christianity, Akin converted from the evangelical church to Catholicism. He studied philosophy of religion at the University of Arkansas.
As a boy, Barber aspired to play baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then a lecture by Scott Hahn, a former Protestant pastor who became a Catholic, changed his mind.
"This man gave up everything and risked his whole career to become Catholic," said Barber, who went on to earn a doctorate degree from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. "I found his arguments compelling and wanted to learn more."
Akin and Barber point to several important factors in understanding Pope Francis: his Jesuit order, his papal name and the clues offered by his first few actions as pontiff.
The Society of Jesus
Jesuits and Franciscans are two of the church's orders, each with its own focus but all united in the core tenets of Catholicism.
The orders represent communities of members who take certain vows such as poverty, chastity and obedience, Barber said.

The master and his dog are both very nervous. On a Thursday morning in April, Randy Wildebrandt has brought Jazzy, a black, 14-year-old poodle, to the MU veterinary hospital for an examination of a cancerous tumor on her right hind leg. She will be injected with a radioactive liquid for a PET, or positron emission topography scan to determine whether her treatment is shrinking the tumor, then she'll spend a day in isolation while the radiation wears off. Jazzy is one of several dogs receiving experimental treatments through the comparative oncology program at MU. Veterinarians hope they can examine the dogs' responses to the treatments to learn new ways of fighting cancer in humans.

If you prod a zebrafish embryo, it will normally twitch its tail and try to escape. By watching embryos that wouldn't twitch properly, a team of scientists has discovered that a gene called STAC3is the cause of a rare inherited muscle disorder called Native American myopathy (NAM). The team also showed that STAC3 plays an important and previously unrecognized role in muscle contractions.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health, and their colleagues, have discovered that a gene called BACH2 may play a central role in the development of diverse allergic and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, asthma, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, and type-1 diabetes. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks normal cells and tissues in the body that are generally recognized as "self" and do not normally trigger immune responses. Autoimmunity can occur in infectious diseases and cancer.

Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania have developed a new gene therapy to thwart a potential influenza pandemic. Specifically, investigators in the Gene Therapy Program, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, directed by James M. Wilson, MD, PhD, demonstrated that a single dose of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing a broadly neutralizing flu antibody into the nasal passages of mice and ferrets gives them complete protection and substantial reductions in flu replication when exposed to lethal strains of H5N1 and H1N1 flu virus. These strains were isolated from samples associated from historic human pandemics – one from the infamous 1918 flu pandemic and another from 2009.

Salamanders' immune systems are key to their remarkable ability to regrow limbs, and could also underpin their ability to regenerate spinal cords, brain tissue and even parts of their hearts, scientists have found.
In research published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences researchers from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) at Monash University found that when immune cells known as macrophages were systemically removed, salamanders lost their ability to regenerate a limb and instead formed scar tissue.

While the effects of acute stroke have been widely studied, brain damage during the subacute phase of stroke has been a neglected area of research. Now, a new study by the University of South Florida reports that within a week of a stroke caused by a blood clot in one side of the brain, the opposite side of the brain shows signs of microvascular injury.

When the brain's primary "learning center" is damaged, complex new neural circuits arise to compensate for the lost function, say life scientists from UCLA and Australia who have pinpointed the regions of the brain involved in creating those alternate pathways — often far from the damaged site.

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University and the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC) have successfully reprogrammed human skin cells to become embryonic stem cells capable of transforming into any other cell type in the body. It is believed that stem cell therapies hold the promise of replacing cells damaged through injury or illness. Diseases or conditions that might be treated through stem cell therapy include Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiac disease and spinal cord injuries.

Into brains of newborn mice, researchers implanted human "progenitor cells." These mature into a type of brain cell called astrocytes. They grew into human astrocytes, crowding out mouse astrocytes. The mouse brains became chimeras of human and mouse, with the workhorse mouse brain cells – neurons – nurtured by billions of human astrocytes. Human astrocytes certainly inspired the mice. Genetically engineered "astrocytes" have improved rodents' memories and learning capabilities.

UCSF scientists controlled seizures in epileptic mice with a one-time transplantation of medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) cells, which inhibit signaling in overactive nerve circuits, into the hippocampus, a brain region associated with seizures, as well as with learning and memory. Other researchers had previously used different cell types in rodent cell transplantation experiments and failed to stop seizures.

Scientists have identified a gene that keeps our nerve fibers from clogging up. Researchers in Ken Miller's laboratory at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) found that the unc-16 gene of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans encodes a gatekeeper that restricts flow of cellular organelles from the cell body to the axon, a long, narrow extension that neurons use for signaling. Organelles clogging the axon could interfere with neuronal signaling or cause the axon to degenerate, leading to neurodegenerative disorders. This research, published in the May 2013 Genetics Society of America's journal GENETICS, adds an unexpected twist to our understanding of trafficking within neurons.

The Cold Call
A puerta fría | Xavi Puebla, 2012
Spain | 80 minutes
TV salesman Salva knows he needs at least one big contract to bring him back into favor with his boss, so he heads to a trade fair where he hopes to make a pitch to Mr. Battleworth, a big American distributor. Weak on English, he enlists the aid of Ines, a hostess at the conference, but the meeting with Battleworth doesn't turn out exactly as planned. A business fable for our times, The Cold Call features excellent performances from Antonio Dechent, Maria Valverde and Nick Nolte as Mr. Battleworth.

I've got a couple of linux boxes I need to be able to access from their
serial ports. There is no keyboard, mouse, our monitor connected to them
so I need the console display output to the serial. It's been awhile
since I've done this so I read
but the problem is that these boxes have redhat 7.2 and it looks like
they don't use lilo.conf? There is a file called /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda
but when I run /sbin/lilo it looks for /etc/lilo.conf. From doing google
searches renaming the .anaconda file to just lilo.conf doesn't cut it. I
have a feeling it has something to do with redhat's new "grub" which is
supposed to be a better boot loader but I'm not familiar with it. Anyone
have any tips to get redhat 7.2 display it's console to a serial

Day 186.
Happy Fourth of July! If you are looking for some easy and delicious recipes for a backyard barbecue, try these:
corn on the cob
beans and weenies
barbecued ribs
sweet and spicy chicken wings
frito candy
Or, you can make French Dip Sandwiches. These sandwiches are completely and totally American, because they call for The Two American Ingredients: beer and red meat.
But this isn't just any ordinary beer---it's gluten free! I finally tracked down some Redbridge beer at a local Beverages and More. Redbridge's website has a zipcode tracker, but none of the locations were close enough. A quick email later, and Lindsay from Anheuser-Busch confirmed that both our Beverages and More and Whole Foods carry the line. Awesome.
Redbridge is made from Sorghum, so it's completely gluten-free.
Jenny from Lipstick and Laundry shared this recipe with me, and it's fantastic.
The Ingredients.
This is Jenny's Recipe:
4 lbs beef roast, I actually buy Beef Round Sandwich Steak, (meaning it is already sliced)
1 (10.5 oz) can of beef broth
2 (10.5 oz) cans of Condensed French Onion Soup
1 (12 oz) bottle of dark beer (I only use 1/2 the bottle)
1Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp garlic powder
6 French Rolls (I like Sara Lee)
To make it gluten free, I changed some stuff around. I can't find a gluten free canned French Onion soup, so I used the recipe that I made earlier in the year.
This is my version--use whichever one works best for your family!
- 2 lbs thin pieces of steak meat
- 1/2 T sugar
- 2 T butter
- 3 cups beef broth
- 12 oz bottle of Redbridge beer
- 1/2 t black pepper
- 1/4 cup cooking sherry
- 1 yellow onion, cut in rings
- 3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
- 1 t gluten free Worcestershire sauce
The Directions.
Put the butter into the bottom of the crockpot and turn on. Add the meat, garlic, and onions, and swirl around in the butter.
Pour in the broth, beer, and cooking sherry. Add pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
If your meat is still in large chunks, remove it carefully, and slice. Return the meat back to the broth.
Serve on rolls. I made rolls from the Whole Foods 365 bread mix, and added some cheddar cheese to the sandwiches. Traditionally, gruyere is used.
Dip the sandwich into the broth before each bite for a nice juicy flavor and consistency.
The Verdict.
These were so much fun and tasted marvelous! And Very American.
Thanks, Jenny, for the idea. Jenny also has a good tip about slow-cooking in hot climates. We're lucky here in that it never gets terribly hot, but we used to live where summertime temperatures were well over 100 degrees daily.
Jenny shares her tips: "I set the crockpot on an outdoor table and cook outside, I have an outlet right by my sliding glass door, so I cook on our patio, and I can keep an eye on it, then my kitchen doesn't heat up... You can also set it on a workbench in the garage. Just some useful things I personally do for the summer crock potting!"

ERIE, Pa. ‑ A resident of Erie, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of violating federal laws relating to the sexual exploitation of children, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Christopher Scott Frederick, 45, pleaded guilty to one count before United States District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin.
In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that Frederick received and attempted to receive computer images depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Launched in February 2006, Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
Judge McLaughlin scheduled sentencing for Dec. 16, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. The law provides for a maximum of 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Christian A. Trabold is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Pennsylvania State Police conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Frederick.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

NICEVILLE — Laurie Jones wasn't surprised at the circumstances behind her 16-year-old son's death.
On the evening of June 8, 15-year-old J'Melia Richardson was swept off a sandbar in the Gulf of Mexico behind the Sheraton Four Points hotel on Okaloosa Island. Malo Paul, a 10th-grader at Niceville High School, dove from the sandbar to try to save her.
"That's him. Always going above and beyond," Laurie said.
J'Melia and Malo were later pulled from the water by Duke Field reservist Maj. Karl Miller.
Although J'Melia slowly began to recover, Malo never regained consciousness, Laurie said. He passed away Sunday afternoon at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
Some of Malo's organs were able to be donated for transplants, said his aunt, Kerisa Jones.
"I know it is the only way he would have wanted it because that's how selfless he was," Kerisa said in an email.
Although she was nervous when she dropped Malo off at the beach by himself that day, Laurie knew it was time to give him some independence. She remembers cautioning him to be safe and telling him, "I love you."
"Regardless of what the mood was with us, we always said I love you," Laurie said.
Malo was an artist, and planned to become either a Pixar or video game animator, she said. He also loved to read and play basketball.
Although Laurie and his father are divorced, Malo grew up surrounded by family and military friends of Laurie, a technical sergeant at Eglin Air Force Base.
"When all this came out, it shook a lot of people in the community," she said.
Malo was a good person, said Ana Silva, a family friend Malo called Titi Ana.
She and Laurie would constantly tell him not to fight everyone else's battles. Malo always was defending someone being bullied, Silva said.
"He was the perfect role model and guardian and protector of those under him," Silva said.
It's hard to be angry over his death, she added. He gave his life in order for someone else to keep theirs.
"It's just hard that we can't physically touch him and give him a hug," Silva said.
Laurie said she's made peace with her only child's passing. His actions helped another mother keep her child, she said.
She added that she had 16 wonderful years with him.
"He's always going to be watching over everyone," Laurie said. "Just remember that you're never promised tomorrow, so make sure you live for today."
WANT TO ATTEND? A celebration of Malo Paul's life will be at 3 p.m. Saturday at Eglin Air Force Base Chapel. The family asks that visitors wear blue.

Republicans Will Soon Stop Talking about Health Care
The Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), particularly Justice John Roberts siding with the liberals, took most everyone by surprise this morning. But if you tune in to Fox News or surf around the conservative blogs, they seem to be taking it somewhat philosophically. They're not happy, but there's little rending of garments and gnashing of teeth. Mostly they're saying, well, we'll just have to win this in November (see here for a representative sample). There's also a good deal of discussion of the fact that the Court declared that the requirement to carry health insurance is permissible under the government's taxing power. After all, if there's one thing Republicans know how to do, it's complain about taxes. Mitch McConnell quickly took to the floor of the Senate to condemn the decision, and no doubt Mitt Romney will soon say something so vague that no one can determine what he actually thinks.
But here's my guess: Republicans are going to drop health care very quickly. They took their shot with the only avenue they had to kill the ACA, and they came up short. The legal battle is over, and they know that once they start talking about repealing the whole thing, it makes it easier to talk about the benefits of the ACA that will be repealed, particularly since they have given up on even bothering to come up with a "replace" part of "repeal and replace." Oh, they'll still condemn the ACA when they're on Fox, or when they're talking to partisan audiences—just enough to reassure base conservatives that they're still angry. But in short order, they're going to move on to other topics now that the legal question has been settled.
That suits Mitt Romney just fine. You may remember that when the primary campaign started, many people said it would be impossible for him to become the Republican nominee, given that he had passed a health-care plan so closely resembling the ACA in Massachusetts, complete with an individual mandate. He managed to wriggle and writhe away from questions about it for the last two years. Those questions are no more comfortable than they ever were. As the leader of the GOP, he'll set the agenda for the party. And there are few things he'd rather talk about less. We'll pore over this decision for the next week, then the news media will move on, and Romney will breathe a sigh of relief.

I think you're misreading the contemporary Republican party. Today's party is not dominated by people who believe in rational debate or even rational decisions. They are opposed to universal health care. Period, full stop, end of sentence. They are also prepared to do and say anything necessary to hurt Democrats and especially Barack Obama. I think they'll pursue it for months of horrible, painful public debate. We're not dealing with people who believe in compromise or civil discourse. We're dealing with screaming ideologues who bleieve compromise means you feel bad about giving me why way.

I disagree vehemently if by Republicans you mean conservative "thought leaders" like Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann and the Tea Party set. This is a make or break issue for them and in their madness they are willing to commit political hair-kari over. Let's face it, a third of the country lives not just in another country but in another universe. There is no reasoning with them. They hold such deep-seeded irrational beliefs that this is just another in a series of betrayals woven into some as yet unclear conspiracy.
It would, no doubt, behoove even Mitt Romney to drop his attacks on Obamacare for he does leave himself exposed politically. But even with Romney, there is too much hay to be made in whipping up the froth of rabid mad dog conservatism. While we on the left have to live with Old Yeller's barks, they, on the right, have to live with Old Yeller's bite. It is a world, however, the GOP establishment choose to make for in eschewing compromise they have only entrenched extremism.

Here is Tony Perkins of the FRC talking today:
"We're right to be disappointed and frustrated by the Court's decision, but it was Congress that did this to begin with. It was Barack Obama who did this to begin with, so I think we've got to go back and put this around them, making them responsible for something that almost 70% of Americans oppose.
We do have a way to correct this, and it's called the election in November. And folks, I'm going to tell you, if you're apathetic and you think "well, I'm not going to vote because I've got a choice between this one and that one and there's not that much difference," there is a difference! Barack Obama is responsible for this health care bill which is going to strip you of your rights as an American citizen in the ability to make your own decisions. It is an infringement upon religious freedom. We have rationing boards that are going to be put in place. These are not seeds, this is a time-bomb of destruction for our nation and President Obama is responsible for it."
Does that sound like someone who is going to stop talking about Obamacare? Mind you, he is wrong on his facts and he's utterly delusional in his paranoia but those are trademarks of modern radical conservatism.

Lions Spotted at Wild Basin
The St. Edward's University Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve experienced a recent lion invasion — hosting 29 international high school students at the preserve who were travelling as part of the Lion's Club exchange program. Hailing from around the world — including South Africa, India, Brazil, Czech Republic, Denmark, Belgium and France — the students were nominated by their local Lion's club to attend the annual five-week trip to Texas. Hear what the students expect to see on the trails at Wild Basin.
The Julien C. Hyer Lions International Youth Camp, which began in 1973 "to foster and create a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world," completely sponsors the students with the exception of airfare. The students stay with host families near Denton and spend four days in Austin, a highlight of their trip.
"They seem to enjoy learning about the European influence in Texas," said Scott Hendrix, a Lion's Club volunteer.
The staff and volunteers at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve presented lectures about local geology and urban wildlife management followed by a guided hike of the preserve. Wayne Orlowski, Wild Basin volunteer and Austin Lion member, gave the main portion of the lecture.
When asked what she expected to see on the hike, Hannah Betts from England said she was looking forward to seeing the wildlife.
"It's obviously very different from where I'm from," she said.
Martha Blank from Austria anticipated seeing some Texas insects, as well.
"I'm expecting to see a lot of beetles," she said.
Exposing young people to other parts of the world is just one of the goals of the Lion's Club which, with 45,000 clubs and 1.35 million members, is the world's largest service club organization.
Their causes also include eradicating blindness and supporting local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. The student's trip to Austin included stops at Barton Springs, the Texas School for the Blind, Bob Bullock Museum and the Broken Spoke. Exploring the city was a success, even with the weather topping 100 degrees.
"It was a big culture shock," said Hendrix. "Most of them were in the U.S. for the first time, so they're adjusting to the heat, much less five weeks in Texas in the summer."
