Pacific Association proud of its Charlotte entrants
Mary Woo of the USATF Pacific Association (mainly Northern California) has posted a report on that association's results at Charlotte, with the spot-on headline: "Pacific Association Athletes Survive Nationals!" She also reports that team title winner Brooks Fleet Feet Racing raised a chunk of change for a club member. Mary writes: "With several pledges for both team points and personal records, more than $4,000 was raised for Dianne McCarthy and her daughter Brianna. 'I was really proud of our team. They competed hard for four days under difficult circumstances with the heat, humidity and schedule changes,' said coach Randy Sturgeon. 'Yet, they kept a very positive attitude and did all they could to help a teammate and her daughter.' " Any other association reports out there? Shoot them here.

Finland celebrates the 96th anniversary of its independence from Russia today.
For the first time ever, the Independence Day ball, the highlight of Finland's social calendar, is not taking place in Helsinki. The event is being held in Tampere as the Presidential Palace in Helsinki is closed for renovations.
About 1,700 guests have been invited to the Independence Day reception and a concert at Tampere Hall, hosted by the President of Finland, Sauli Niinistö.
The event is followed live on television by millions of Finnish citizens.
The public holiday is traditionally celebrated by wreath laying on the graves of war heroes, by remembering the veterans and a torchlight procession by university students.

Visions® Use & Care
VISIONS cookware is different from other cookware. It is made of a see-through glass ceramic material that withstands temperature extremes. This cookware:
- Can be used on the rangetop, in the oven or microwave, or under the broiler (without cover).
- Can be used for cooking, serving, refrigerating, freezing, reheating, and thawing.
Note the differences between covers and cookware. PYREX® brand glass covers:
- Can be used on VISIONS cookware for rangetop applications, in a preheated oven, in the microwave, refrigerator or freezer. Plastic Microwave/Storage Covers (available for some items)
- Use plastic covers, according to the Use and Care directions printed on them.
IMPORTANT ALL GLASS AND GLASS-CERAMIC MATERIALS CAN BE BROKEN and care should be taken in handling. Accidental breakage from impact is not covered by warranty.
PYREX® brand glass covers can break from direct heat.
- DO NOT place cover directly on rangetop burner, under a broiler, under a microwave browning element, in a toaster oven, on or near any direct heat sources.
- Discontinue use of any covers accidentally used in this manner even if they do not look damaged.
Hot PYREX brand glass covers can break if cooled suddenly.
- Handle with dry pot holders, do not use wet cloths.
- Set on dry, heat-protective surface for gradual cooling.
- DO NOT set on cold surface: let cover cool before washing, refrigerating, or freezing.
Chips, cracks or deep scratches weaken cookware and covers. Weakened cookware can break during use.
- Follow care and storage instructions to avoid chips, cracks, and scratches due to nesting, hitting rims, using metal utensils, and accidental impact.
Handles and rims may get hot during use. Fingers and hands may be burned. ALWAYS USE POT HOLDERS.
- DO NOT USE any glass product for deep fat frying. NEVER attempt to deep fat fry in a microwave oven. Temperature of fat cannot be controlled.
- DO NOT use or repair broken, chipped, or deeply scratched cookware.
Table, counter, wooden cutting board, and other surfaces may be burned or scorched if hot product is placed directly on surface. Use protective surface.
- DO NOT use to make candy or caramelize sugar; these cool at different rates from the cookware and may cause it to break.
- DO NOT use to pop popcorn - popcorn will not pop, and the cookware may eventually get very hot.
- DO NOT heat empty cookware in microwave oven.
VISIONS® cookware works best on top of the range with foods which are stirred, sautéed, or have liquid as a cooking medium. Follow these guidelines:
- When cooking vegetables, potatoes, or pasta, boil water first, then add food slowly to boiling water.
- For anything other than boiling water, use a LOW to MEDIUM heat; too much heat causes food to stick or burn.
- When browning or sautéing, use no more than 1/4" oil or shortening.
- Place food off center in skillet, as center area stays cooler and food will not brown as well there.
- Once food has started to cook or boil, lower heat for gently frying, sautéing, or simmering.
Store separately if possible. Otherwise, stack carefully, by inverting the lids and stacking similar smaller pieces on top. If stacking is not possible, nest pots, placing cloth or towel between them.

The military says a U.S. Army soldier from Iowa died in action while serving in the Kandahar province in Afghanistan.
The Defense Department says 19-year-old Pfc. Brandon Buttry, of Shenandoah, died on Monday but provided no details about his death. Buttry's uncle, Steve Buttry, of Herndon, Va., said he was killed while manning a watch tower.
Brandon Buttry was stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state. He was deployed to Afghanistan in August.
Buttry was one of Don and Pam Buttry's 14 children. Funeral services are pending.
A family friend, the Rev. Dave Widger of Nebraska City, Neb., says that Brandon loved his country and loved the fact that he could serve his country.

Calling all magicians! Now that we're tapping the fund for leaking underground storage tanks and giving the green light to "pension smoothing" (don't ask), we're pretty sure the highway trust fund won't go broke in August. We might even be able to breathe until spring.
Yes, the House and Senate still need to vote on the proposed stopgaps, and there are still some differences among the negotiators. But on balance, all signs point in the same direction. Lawmakers are well aware of the dwindling highway trust fund, and Congress will act to keep it from depleting at the heart of this year's construction season.
But there is no more loose change in the sofa cushions. It's time to get creative. All those ideas that experts have dubbed "nonstarters" need a fresh look. Gas tax? Devolution? Vehicle Miles Traveled? Repatriation Tax Breaks? Public-private partnerships? Shrinking the Transportation Department? Bring it on. Maybe there are some new ones out there, too.
No idea is too outrageous. How about selling "Beat China's Infrastructure" bonds? Let cable companies repair the roads as they lay broadband and then charge their customers. Create a GPS tax. Outlaw paved roads.
This may sound ridiculous, but sometimes a writer/provocateur has to be deliberately outlandish to make a point. Not opening up the conversation to alternatives that might previously have been considered unworkable means we'll be right back in this same blog post six months from now. And no one wants that.
It's not just me. Sens. Tom Carper, D-Del., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., both say that Congress should be dealing with the long-term problems now rather than leaving the big problems to be fixed in the next Congress. In a near-satirical interview with The Oregonian's David Sarasohn, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., predicts that his bill to raise the gas tax will pass in a lame-duck session of Congress because politicians won't have to exercise any leadership to make it happen. Lame ducks are tailor-made for blame-free legislation.
Even the transportation industry, which generally praises Congress for acting in the smallest capacity, is getting fed up. "The Highway Trust Fund has been limping from crisis to crisis for the past six years as America's transportation network continues to decline. Therefore, our message to Congress is simple: your job isn't close to being done," said American Road & Transportation Builders Association President Pete Ruane.
Meanwhile, there are bigger questions to be faced. How much should we be investing in infrastructure? Whose responsibility is it? Surely the perennial debate over the highway "cliff" will yield some clues as to what the public would prefer on these issues. Of course, those answers might not be attractive. Washington Post Columnist Robert Samuelson put it this way. "Highway spending epitomizes the larger budget dilemma. Many Americans like big government—but not the taxes to pay for it."
I give credit to Heritage Action for America for stirring the pot by continually questioning how big this "crisis" really is. Communications Director Dan Holler reminds whoever will listen that the 28 percent cut threatened by Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx if Congress doesn't act refers only to the federal funds for transportation, which are about one-fourth the total expenditures in the country. The cut might sting, sure, but it's not a major amputation.
For our insiders: What happens now? What ideas already out there have the best chance of breaking through this endless stream of stopgaps? Where should we be looking for new ideas? Is Blumenauer right that a gas tax increase could easily pass in the lame-duck session? And if so, what would we do then? Is Holler right that the cuts we face aren't that bad? We know that Congress is paying attention now. What can we tell them?

This Application is a divisional application of Ser. No. 08/696,673, filed Aug. 14, 1996 abandoned Nov. 26, 1999.
The invention relates to apparatus and methods for cutting web materials and particularly to such materials which are movable through the apparatus prior to and subsequent such cutting. Even more particularly, the invention relates to cutting web materials that will eventually form part of a circuitized substrate such as a printed circuit board. One particular example of such material is what is referred to in the industry as dry film photoresist.
As is known, the manufacture of circuitized substrates such as those referred to in the to industry as printed circuit (or wiring) boards typically involves the precisioned alignment of individual sheets of web material known as photoresist film. Such material, when cut into individual sheet form, is then typically bonded to a base substrate which includes a dielectric material (e.g., a fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin material commonly referred to in the industry as "FR4" material) having a layer of electrically conductive material (e.g., thin copper) bonded thereto. These members are then laminated together to form a core structure or the like which is then subjected to photolithographic processing to form the desired circuitry on the conductive layer. This resulting structure may then be populated with desired electronic devices (e.g., semiconductor chips, capacitors, resistors, etc.) to form a printed circuit (or wiring) board.
Alternatively, this resulting structure may then be aligned with other, similar structure and laminated to form a multilayered structure when then may be populated, etc. during subsequent processing.
Photoresists are categorized as negative or positive and may be obtained in solid (dry film) or liquid form for application onto the aforementioned dielectric-conductor subassembly. The use of liquid (also called "wet") photoresist processing presents several problems to the manufacturer, including the need for complex controlling of liquid material flow, along with relatively complex mechanisms (e.g., rollers) for handling same. The use of dry photoresist films eliminates many of these difficulties and such films are thus more desirable from a manufacturing standpoint. It will be understood from the following that the invention is particularly directed to use of dry film photoresist materials, including those applied to an underlying dielectric-conductive layer subassembly using adhesive or the like. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to such materials, as it is readily possible to utilize the unique teachings of this invention with several other different varieties of "dry" materials (including, e.g., paper, photographic film, etc.).
There are several known methods and apparatus for handling web material, including photoresist films, as described and illustrated in the following U.S. Letters Patents:
U.S. Pat. No. 3,595,564--De Young
U.S. Pat. No. 3,680,418--Phillips
U.S. Pat. No. 3,703,116--Doll
U.S. Pat. No. 3,728,921--Vogel

U.S. Pat. No. 5,188,699--Senda
U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,670--Cummings et al
U.S. Pat. No. 5,425,834--Shinohara et al
U.S. Pat. No. 5,456,789--Boucher
Of these, particular attention is directed to U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,353 which specifically describes cutting photoresist webs using cutters (10) which engage the webs prior to board positioning. Attention is also directed to U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,425,834 and 5,456,789 where web materials are roller supplied and cut using various blade structures. Finally, attention is directed to U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,670, which is assigned to the same assignee as the present invention and is incorporated herein by reference. U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,670 defines a system for application of dry film photoresist material which in turn has been supplied from two spaced apart rollers such that the dry film will be positioned on opposite sides of the interim substrate. It is to be understood that the present invention could be utilized with this and similar structures.
A particular method of cutting dry film photoresist material involves the use of rotating, round (pizza-cutter type) cutters which cut the web material at two locations to define the sheet desired for a particular end product (circuit board). Such cutters are considered relatively expensive and maintenance-intensive, often requiring replacement. Such cutters have also proven to have a deleterious effect on the motors used to drive same, often causing motor burn out, thus adding even further to the cost of such assemblies.
It is believed that a cutting apparatus for web material such as dry film photoresist which overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages as well as those found in one or more of the foregoing several patents would represent a significant advancement in the art.
It is, therefore, a primary object of the present invention to provide a new and unique apparatus and method for cutting web material which obviates the various disadvantages cited herein and otherwise discernible from reviewing the foregoing patents.
It is another object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for cutting-dry film material such as photoresist which is then almost immediately deposited on an underlying substrate such as described above.
It is still another object of the invention to provide such a method and apparatus which can be produced and operated in a relatively inexpensive manner (e.g., by assuring ready repair and replacement of various parts thereof if needed).
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided an apparatus for cutting web material which comprises a blade holder adapted for being reciprocally moved in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction of movement of the web material, and first and second blades angularly positioned on the blade holder relative to one another and to the second direction of reciprocal movement of the blade holder, each of the blades adapted for engaging the web material in a reverse manner at a predetermined angle during at least part of the reciprocal movement.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for cutting web material wherein the method comprises the steps of cutting the web material at a first location by engaging the web material with a first blade in a reverse manner wherein the blade moves in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction of movement of the web material, and thereafter cutting the web material at a second location spaced from the first location by engaging the web material with a second blade also in a reverse manner wherein the second blade moves in a third direction also substantially perpendicular to the first direction and substantially opposite the second direction.
In accordance with still another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for making a printed circuit board wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a substrate including a dielectric having a conductive layer thereon, providing a length of web material, cutting the web material at a first location by engaging the web material with a first blade in a reverse manner wherein the blade moves in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction of movement of the web material, thereafter cutting the web material at a second location spaced from the first location by engaging the web material with a second blade also in a reverse manner wherein the second blade moves in a third direction also substantially perpendicular to the first direction and substantially opposite the second direction. The cutting results in a predetermined length of said web material, which is then positioned on the substrate.
An electrical circuit is then formed from the conductive layer.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of an assembly for producing printed circuit board substrates which utilizes one or more (two shown in FIG. 1) of the cutting apparatus of the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged, perspective view of a cutting apparatus in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a top, plan view, much enlarged, as taken along the line 3--3 in FIG. 1.
For a better understanding of the present invention, together with other and further objects, advantages and capabilities thereof, reference is made to the following disclosure and appended claims in connection with the above-described drawings.
In FIG. 1, there is shown a system 10 for applying dry film material 11 such as photoresist to a panel 12. System 10 is particularly adapted for utilizing the cutting apparatus (15) of the present invention. System 10 may include some of the elements of the system defined in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,670, which, as stated, is incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, system 10 in FIG. 1 includes upper and lower supply rolls 18 and 20 for supplying the photoresist in dry film manner to the respective opposite sides of interim panel 12. In one embodiment, panel 12 is preferably comprised of a known printed circuit board dielectric material, e.g., fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin, having thereon conductive layers, e.g., copper, on opposite sides thereof; As seen in FIG. 1, this thin film material is eventually aligned with the interim panel 12 and bonded thereto, e.g., using compression rollers 21 and 23 (shown in phantom). Prior to such application, it is possible to apply an adhesive to the surfaces of panel 12 and/or each of the two dry film sheets being bonded to the panel. Significantly, it is possible to utilize the wet application elements of the system in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,670 (e.g., to apply a wetting agent such as water to the opposite surfaces of the panel prior to roller engagement and compression). Supply rollers 18 and 20, as well as directional rollers 27 and 29, are rotatably mounted on a frame (not shown) for necessary rotation during supply of the dry film material. In addition to the aforementioned rollers, guide structures 31 and 33 are preferably utilized to guide the respective dry film layers onto the respective opposite surfaces of panel 12. It is also possible in the present invention to apply heat to the film material at this stage to thereby enhance the subsequent compression (amination) step. It is also possible to heat the respective compression rollers 21 and 23 for this purpose. Panel 12 may be moved by additional rollers in the direction shown, prior to and following lamination.
As seen in FIG. 1, system 10 includes a cutting apparatus 15 for each of the two dry film materials that are being bonded to panel 12. Each of the cutting apparatus as defined herein is utilized to uniquely sever respective sheets of dry film material from the respective supply rolls to a length which is designed to match that of the interim panel 12. In FIG. 1, a panel 12' having respective opposite dry film sheets 34 and 35 laminated thereon, is shown exiting system 10 following the aforementioned compression step. It is thus understood that the purpose of the cutting apparatus of the present invention is to selectively cut each of the incoming dry film materials at two spaced locations to define the required length for each of the sheets being laminated per panel. As will be defined by the following, it has been determined that the best means for providing such dual cutting for each sheet is to utilize a reciprocal form of cut wherein the cutting mechanism moves in a reverse manner (substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the film material being cut).
In one embodiment of the invention, a rectangular panel 12 having side and length dimensions of 19.5 and 24 inches, respectively, was covered with dry film photoresist material wherein each of the opposite sheets thereof were cut to a length of about 19 inches. It is under-stood that the invention is not limited to such dimensional constraints, as it is readily possible to provide both larger and smaller sized sheets, depending on the respective dimensions of the receiving panel.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the dry film photoresist material was 1.5 mil fully aqueous photoresist available from MacDermid, Inc. of Delaware under the product name CFI.
As will be defined, each of the cutting apparatus 15 for the system in FIG. 1 is positioned in a predetermined orientation relative to the direction of film material passage. Specifically, and as will be further described hereinbelow, each cutting apparatus is preferably oriented such that its upper portion (described below) faces panel 12. This is not meant to limit the invention, however, as other orientations for the respective cutting apparatus are well within the scope of the present invention
In FIGS. 2 and 3, there is shown a cutting apparatus 15 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. Cutting apparatus 15, as stated, is designed for reciprocally cutting the web material 11 (not shown in FIG. 2) as the web material moves in a first direction (e.g., directly toward the viewer in FIG. 3). Apparatus 15 includes a blade holder 41 designed for having first and second blades 43 and 45 positioned thereon in the angular relationship shown. (One blade is shown in FIG. 2 in phantom for enhanced illustration purposes.) Two blades 43 and 45 are angularly positioned on holder 41 relative to one another and, significantly, also to the direction of movement ("M" in FIG. 3) of the holder as it moves during the cutting operations.
As particularly seen in FIG. 3, the first blade 43 forms an acute angle ("A") with respect to the planar film 11, and, significantly, with respect to the direction of movement ("M"). It is thus understood in FIG. 3 that holder 41 moves laterally ("M") to make a first pass wherein the leading blade (43) entirely severs the film 11. That is, first blade 43 is seen to firstly engage a side edge (to the left in FIG. 3) of film material 11 and thereafter cut across the width of said material during such movement ("M") by holder 41. The film continues its movement toward the respective compression roller (21 or 23) and, after a predetermined time period, the holder is moved in the reverse direction ("R" in FIG. 3) whereby the second blade 45 will perform the second cut. Blade 45, like blade 43, also forms an acute angle with film material 11 and also with the corresponding reverse movement ("R") of holder 41. This angle is preferably similar to the angle of blade 43. Blade 45 is thus also understood to initially engage the opposite said edge (to the right in FIG. 3) of film material 11 and thereafter sever the material during such reverse movement ("R").
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, angle "A" is preferably within the range of from about ten degrees to about fifteen degrees. Each blade is also preferably metallic and, in one embodiment of the invention, may be of the commercially available double-edged razor blades typically utilized for shaving. Such a feature is deemed particularly significant because it represents a significant cost savings over earlier blade assemblies which, as stated, demanded extensive replacement. The blades of the present invention have proven to function for substantially longer periods of time, even further assuring reduced costs for the present invention In one example, it was possible to satisfactorily complete 1,000 cuts by each blade through thin film photoresist having an approximate thickness of 0.0015 inch and a width of 23.25 inches.
Positioning of blades 43 and 45 on holder 41 is enhanced through the provision of an internal magnet (not shown) immediately under each of the respective portions of holder 41 designed to accommodate one of the blades. Further retention is attained through the provision of at least two upstanding pins 51 on holder 41 for each blade. The blades preferably include a central opening 53 to accommodate a respective one of these pins 51 in the manner depicted in FIG. 2. Further, each blade preferably includes a side indentation for accommodating the remaining pin of each pair. Thus, a total of four upstanding pins 51 are preferably utilized.
In one embodiment of the invention, holder 41 was comprised of aluminum and was secured to an upstanding post 55 or the like which in turn forms part of system 10. Movement of holder 41 in the various directions illustrated may be accomplished using one of several means, e.g., mechanical means such as cams and cam followers, and further description is not believed necessary. Such movement is, of course, precisely timed with respect to the movement and rate of travel of the corresponding web materials 11.
To further assure a positive severance of the web material at both positions in the manner defined herein, a platen 71 is used to positively engage the opposite surface of web material 11 from that being initially engaged by blades 43 and 45. In one embodiment, platen 71 was comprised of aluminum and included several small apertures 73 located in two aligned rows as shown in FIG. 2. A vacuum force was then exerted through apertures 73 using a suitable vacuum means (not shown). In one embodiment, this vacuum means may comprise a pump directly connected to both platens 71 for drawing air through the respective openings 73. In one embodiment of the invention, a vacuum pressure within the range of from about 4 to about 5 inches Hg was exerted.
To even further assist in film severance, each platen preferably includes a longitudinal groove 75 therein, this groove designed to accommodate both of the blades 43 and 45 during reciprocal movement. Each groove 75 is further defined by a pair of tapered leading edges 77.
The retention of blades 43 and 45 is even further enhanced through the utilization of a cover 81 which, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, is adapted for being positioned on what can be referred to as a base 83 of holder 41, e.g., using a retention nut 85 or the like. This nut 85, as shown, positively engages the upper surface of cover 81 which, in one embodiment of the invention, preferably comprised a rectangular, substantially planar metallic plate having a singular opening 91 therein designed for accommodating nut 85. Cover 81 is preferably of the same material as the remaining part (base 83) of holder 41.
The film as cut by the invention is then bonded (laminated) onto panel 12 and the panel then passed to the next apparatus wherein known photolithographic processing occurs to form a desired circuit pattern on opposite sides of the panel's dielectric. This processing typically involves the steps of exposing (e.g., to UV light) and developing the photoresist to define the pattern, etching away undesired portions of the conductive layer in accordance with this pattern, and thereafter removing (stripping) the photoresist. Such steps are known and further description not believed necessary.
There have thus been shown and described a new and improved cutting apparatus for precisely cutting film material such as dry film photoresist in an accurate manner such that this material may then be bonded to a receiving substrate such as a printed circuit panel 12. Significantly, the invention as defined herein provides for reciprocal, dual cutting of such film material in a reverse manner (perpendicular to the direction of film travel or, in other words, across the film). As taught herein, the bladed structure of the present invention was able to effectively sever dry film photoresist materials having thicknesses from about 0.0006 inch to about 0.003 inch, and having overall width dimensions (e.g., 23 inches) needed for the respective, receiving panels. Effective severing of several sheets was possible using the teachings herein without it being necessary to replace these relatively simple blade members. In one embodiment, the dual bladed cutting apparatus effectively severed a total of 2,000 sheets of dry film material before replacement was considered. Thus, it is seen that the present invention, while being of relatively simple construction, also represents a cost-effective means of providing such cutting.
While there have been shown and described what are at present the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

How To Do Testicular Self-Examination (TSE)
- Stand in front of the mirror. Look for any swelling on the skin of the scrotum.
- Examine each testicle with both hands. The index and middle fingers should be placed under the testicle while the thumbs are placed on the top. Gently roll the testicle between the thumbs and fingers. It's normal for one testicle to be larger than the other.
- Find the epididymis (the soft, tube-like structure at the back of the testicle that collects and carries the sperm). Do not mistake the epididymis for an abnormal lump.
- If you find a lump, contact your doctor right away. Most lumps are found on the sides of the testicle, but some appear on the front. Remember that testicular cancer is highly curable, especially when treated promptly.

As follow-up on the post of last Wednesday: Jacob Zuma has indeed been elected as new president of the ANC Party. Below is an overview of the press-reactions:
December 19: The Economist: Zuma comes out on top
"Whatever happens, the relationship between the government, dominated by Mr Mbeki's faithful, and an ANC led by Mr Zuma will be awkward. The next few months could see either a patching-up of the rift over the succession or a purge inside the party of Mbeki loyalists. There are even questions over whether Mr Mbeki will finish his full term as the country's president, although Mr Zuma has said that he sees no reason for his early departure."
December 19: UBS analysis: Jacob Zuma won leadership of South Africa's Ruling ANC Party
"Looking at ZAR and equity levels before and after the announcement, it appears that the markets have not priced in a big political risk premium on South Africa, despite Zuma's background in trade union politics, legal wrangles (prosecutors to decide about charges soon), and less than clear stance on free market policies. Zuma did pledge not to change the country's economic policies if elected as president. It seems the market views him in the same vein as Lula in Brazil, the Congress coalition in India and PM Fico in Slovakia, all of who were initially feared to be populist, but eventually stuck to free market policies in practice. We think this is a reasonable base case view for Zuma as well, but we would not get complacent on this, and point to one big risk. Lula, Fico and India's communist backed coalition have governed through times of strength in the economic cycle. By contrast, the next ANC leader may find himself at the helm of a slowing South African economy, and potentially also facing more tricky international credit conditions. In our view, this increases the risk of populist policies."

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2011 Budget concerns and the need for the Defense Department to work with the State Department dominated a discussion at the National Defense University here today with the Cabinet members who lead those departments.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta talked with students at the National War College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces at Fort McNair. Frank Sesno, a former CNN correspondent who now works at the George Washington University, moderated the discussion.
Both State and Defense face budget cuts as a result of the debt-ceiling deal worked out Aug. 2. Panetta said the cuts will affect national security, and that he and Clinton want the American people to "recognize how important it is that we maintain our national security and that we be strong."
But the defense secretary acknowledged that the fiscal outlook presents a challenge.
"We recognize that we're in a resource limitation here, and that we got to deal we've those challenges," Panetta said. "But I don't think you have to choose between our national security and fiscal responsibility. And I want the country to know that we can get this done, but we have to do it in a way that protects our national defense and protects our national security."
The Defense Department can handle the $350 billion in savings over the next 10 years that is mandated in the agreement, the secretary said. But if members of Congress cannot agree on further reductions, another $500 billion in funds would be sequestered from the department.
"If they do the sequester, this kind of massive cut across the board which would literally double the number of cuts that we're confronting," he said. "That would have devastating effects on our national defense. It would have devastating effects on, certainly, the State Department."
Congress must look beyond the "discretionary spending" in the federal budget -- most of which is in Pentagon funding -- to address the nation's deficit, Panetta said.
"If you're serious about dealing with budget deficits, you can't just keep going back to the discretionary part of the budget," he said.
An across-the-board cut of that magnitude would hollow out the force and weaken America's ability to respond to threats, Panetta said.
"More importantly," he added, "it would break faith with the troops and with their families. And a volunteer [force] is absolutely essential to our national defense. Any kind of cut like that would literally undercut our ability to put together the kind of strong national defense we have today."
Sesno asked Panetta about a report calling for changes to the military retirement system. A task group for the Defense Budget Board studied the issue and will submit a report later this month, Panetta said. He stressed that no decisions have been made with regard to retirement.
"It's the kind of thing you have to consider, in terms of retirement reforms in the broad form," he said. "But you have to do it … in a way that doesn't break faith … with our troops and with their families. If you're going to do something like this, you've got to think very seriously about 'grandfathering,' in order to protect the benefits that are there."
Panetta vowed to protect the benefit. "But at the same time, you know, you've got to look at everything on the table," he added.

Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Mr. Secretary, I am encouraged to hear that you are keeping the service of our current and past veterans in mind as you deal with this budget situation. Why is it that everytime there is discussion on cuts,the military is always on the chopping block? Why everything I see or read labels it as benefits, Sir, I beg to differ, these are the entitlements I have earned as have so many of my comrads in arms, earned by our sacrefice and service to the country we love, at the risk of giving our life for this great nation. They try to compare our entitlements to the publice sector, there is no comparison ,as you stated "A volunteer [force] is absolutely essential to our national defense. " The public has the same choice, volunteer. Thank you for allowing me to say my piece, I served this great country for 43 years and still serve. Respectfully George
- George Postell , Oklahoma
Suicides on the rise for both service members and their family members, Sailors exposed to radiation following the nuclear crisis in Japan, Al Qaeda seeking ways to deploy ricin, cybersecurity threats/vulnerabilities skyrocketing, our weaknesses (i.e., debt) vis-a-vis a rising China...the list of sacrifices the Armed Forces endure goes on and on. Grandfather the benefits of those who have served and those serving. With the state of the world, reducing benefits WILL hurt recruitment/retention only to have to build it back up again in a few years.

Thank you, Ray [DuBois, Director, Washington Headquarters Services], Secretary [of the Interior Gale] Norton, [President, National Congress of American Indians] Tex Hall. Thanks to everyone who made the time to join us for this ceremony today. It's been a powerful ceremony. And judging from this magnificent weather, I think the Great Spirit is smiling down on us today.
On behalf of all of us who work here at the Pentagon, I'd like to express deep gratitude to Master Carver Jewell James and his team of talented artists and those powerful words you spoke that clearly came from the heart. I think it explains the spirit that is represented so powerfully in those poles, those magnificent poles.
To Lummi Chairman Darrell Hillaire, to the entire Lummi Nation, thank you for this wonderful carving and for the gift of healing that it brings to us.
I'd like to also take a moment to thank all of the other Native Americans across this great country who added their own blessings and prayers as the poles made their long trip from Washington State to Washington, D.C.
As you know, they've arrived here just in time for another special occasion—the grand opening of the National Museum of the American Indian just across the river. That new museum will be a showcase for Native American art and history. And it is long overdue.
I look forward to visiting that very special museum, but there's something truly special about these totem poles here today. They bring us together, just the way 9/11 did, and that makes them very special indeed.
In his remarks, Ray DuBois mentioned the memorial ceremony a week ago at Arlington National Cemetery, marking the third anniversary of the attacks of 9/11.
I was privileged to be there. And as you might imagine, a lot of thoughts went through my head that morning. About our colleagues who died at their workstations in this building. About the thousands of other innocent people—Americans and many others—who died in New York and Pennsylvania. About the First Responders who rescued people with so little thought for their own lives and who did so much to care for the injured. About the families who lost loved ones. And about the men and women in uniform who today are serving so bravely and, in some cases, making the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live here in liberty and freedom, the very values represented in these totem poles.
I want to thank you for coming today to join us in honoring those heroes, as well as the people who died on September 11th. By the devotion and service of our men and women in uniform in Afghanistan and Iraq and in other places around the world, they are making America safer. In the process, they have also liberated 50 million people—most of them Muslims—from the cruelty of dictatorships that denied them those values of liberty and freedom while providing terrorists with safe haven and support.
I was at the White House a few weeks ago when President Bush met with four of our wounded servicemen—two men, two women—from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and their families. Also in the Oval Office that day was a delegation of Iraqi women leaders who had come to Washington to learn about the ways of democracy. When those women saw our wounded servicemen and women, they couldn't stop thanking them. With tears, the Iraqi women told them that it was their sacrifices that had made freedom possible in Iraq, and it was their sacrifices that made it possible for these women to be here in the United States learning about democracy.
On 9/11, I doubt if anyone could have imagined that that would be one of the outcomes of the attack on America.
Another unexpected outcome is the way that tragedy has brought Americans together. The terrorists didn't plan for that either. As Secretary Rumsfeld put it, they thought that "by killing thousands of our citizens … they could shake the trust we have in each other, and they could weaken the glue that holds our society together."
Instead, as President Bush said a few days ago, and I quote, "On this third anniversary of September 11th, we feel the warm courage of national unity—a unity of grief and a unity of resolve."
The history of Native Americans in this country is full of grief and full of resolve. But as I look at the courageous role Native Americans have played in our Armed Forces, in that history that several speakers before had referred to, it is impossible not to be moved by their willingness to fight for the ideals that represent the best of this country.
I had the privilege two years ago to meet with some of the survivors of that remarkable group of World War II veterans called the "Code Talkers." Their belief in what this country can become, despite the mistreatment of their ancestors, remains a powerful symbol of national unity at a time when in this country freedom and liberty themselves are under attack.
And I can't think of a better example of those values of that unity than today's event and the beautiful poles that bear the blessings of so many Native Americans.
So, Master Carver Jewell and all of you who participated, thank you, once again, for your gift to our nation. Thank you for honoring our countrymen and women who lost their lives on 9/11, and thank you for remembering our veterans and the brave servicemen and women who wear the uniform of the United States today. Perhaps it would be appropriate to conclude this ceremony with just a moment's silence, in honor of all those heroes. Please join me. [Moment of silence] Thank you. May God bless you all. May God bless America. [Applause]

You are not the only one that "didn't do the tradition path of school then work" out there. First generation and low income college students are more likely to start college later and work full-time while in school, so many first generation college graduates will find themselves in this same boat."Do I have to put my graduation date on my resume? I dislike putting it because then they'll think I am a recent graduate and don't have the years of experience. I didn't do the tradition path of school then work."
So, if you are concerned about assumptions a potential employer might make about you as a recent graduate (or working student), I'd suggest putting your education after experience on your resume. This works really well when you have a relevant working history.
However, you should always include your graduation date at this point. If you don't, employers tend to assume things like you are significantly, significantly older or you didn't graduate. If you are a current student, you should include your expected graduation date, with the word "Anticipated" or "Expected" in front of it. Don't worry if you're not sure, just put your best guess and update it as things change.
Typically, after you have been out of school for 10 or more years you could remove your graduation date without these types of assumptions being a concern.

Last week, the worst possible news came out, and I can't even express my disappointment.
From Kayfabe News:
With just two weeks remaining until the biggest professional wrestling event of the year, WrestleMania has been cancelled due to allegations that several or all of the matches have been rigged.
WWE has refused to address the rumors of match-fixing, instead stating only that the event had been cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances beyond our control."
But a shocking report by CNN, based on documents allegedly leaked from WWE's Connecticut headquarters, indicates that the winners and losers of matches in the upcoming event had been predetermined.
The report said there is "overwhelming evidence" that the participants in WrestleMania matches had "mutually agreed to outcomes that would be most satisfying to the audience" and that the "pretence of legitimate athletic competition is a charade."
According to the leaked documents, John Cena will defeat The Rock, and the Undertaker — despite being past his prime and severely out of practice — will defeat the younger and more capable CM Punk.
Approximately 80,000 wrestling fans had already purchased tickets to attend WrestleMania, hoping to see a series of high-stakes, competitive grappling matches.
A press release issued this morning by World Wrestling Entertainment stated there will be "no refunds."
I suppose the only possible upside to this is that I can spend time attending the other events that are NOT cancelled, such as the Chikara and ROH shows, and I can hang out at Wrestlecon. I'm pretty annoyed about "no refunds," because that makes this two years in a row where my WrestleMania experience has been ruined by stupid decisions.
And how am I supposed to explain to my friends that WWE shut down its biggest event due to fixing matches? It's despicable. I hope they get their stuff together, and maybe re-schedule.
Thankfully, this guy understands me:
In other news…
Prior to the event being cancelled, Tensai was apparently pushing for a WrestleMania match against Hornswoggle, instead of the 8-person tag that was eventually signed. I would much rather see Tensai-Hornswoggle than watch a couple fat dudes sit on Damien Sandow. (Kayfabe News)
Speaking of Hornswoggle, WWE Studios revealed that he's been tapped to play the lead role in The Marine 4, which sounds like it will be exactly like every other film in the franchise, but I'm not sure how they're going to explain a Marine's muppets tattoos. I'm excited about this one, and I can't wait to see how this plays out. (Kayfabe News)
Disturbing news came out last week about North Korea's plans to attack the US, and they became even more disturbing when it was discovered that the plans involve Adam Bomb. I've already begun stockpiling Ramen and ammo. This is serious shit, y'all. (Kayfabe News)
Finally, WWE Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels, finally settled a suit with Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake for destroying his window with Marty Jannetty's face 20 years ago. Beefcake plans to use the settlement money ($168) to buy a new fanny pack and some merch from Hogan's Beach. (Kayfabe News)
That's it for me. Have a good week. If you're going to be in New York, regardless of this WrestleMania BS, let's hang out.

Supersizing Of Americans Creating Demand For Big Caskets
Source: Aimee Picchi / CBS News
As Americans get heavier, the impact is spilling over into the funeral industry, with families needing to spend thousands more on extra-large caskets.
The larger-sized caskets can cost as much as $5,000, compared with $2,000 to $3,000 for a standard 26-inch-wide casket, reports Al Jazeera America. One casket maker, Goliath Caskets, has found itself so busy with demand for extra-large final resting places that its 64-year-old owner, Keith Davis, said he can't retire anytime soon.
Casket makers are "making more room on the inside," Bob Arrington, treasurer of the National Funeral Directors Association, told the media outlet. "The casket manufacturers are realizing that this is an issue, and they're starting to make changes."
The bigger caskets sometimes won't fit in hearses, requiring families to rent flatbed trucks to transport their loved ones, the piece adds.

ence for both patients and their families, and through their critical thinking skills, experienced nurses readily recognize clinical changes to prevent further deterioration on these patients. They are familiar with the complications that may be seen in these patients and attempt to prevent them (Brilli et al., 2001:2011).
A competent RN is able to assess and monitor a given patient's health status as compared to age-appropriate norms, baseline health status, and the expected effects of treatments using a variety of techniques and instruments in a systematic and ongoing manner (ANA, 1998). Newly licensed RNs report that they spend the greatest amount of time in patient assessment and evaluation (Smith and Crawford, 2003). A skilled NA, while not educated to assess normative health status across multiple dimensions of health using a variety of assessment tools and skills, is trained to monitor health status using basic devices that measure a more limited number of indicators, such as temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. NAs also assess patient status based on their ongoing knowledge of the patient's "normal" health status. In this way, they serve as the foundation for the monitoring and surveillance system in nursing homes, and nurses are dependent upon NAs to bring abnormal findings to their attention. The low proportions of RN and LPN/LVN staff in most nursing homes means that NAs are the nursing staff in most frequent contact with patients and that they often possess information not available to anyone else in the nursing home (Henderson, 1994).
The one resource required by all types of nursing staff to perform patient monitoring is time (Dougherty, 1999). This also is the resource that many nursing staff identify as dangerously low, as a result of the high numbers of patients assigned to individual nursing staff.
Licensed nurses perform a wide array of interventions on patients to treat the physiological effects and mitigate the health consequences associated with a disease. The very broad spectrum of such therapies includes such interventions as managing the patency and functioning of artificial airways; changing dressings on traumatic wounds or surgical incision sites; providing care to women during childbirth; providing surgical assistance; participating in resuscitation activities during cardiac or respiratory failure; inserting intravenous, urinary, gastric, or other body catheters or tubes; providing bodily care to comatose patients, such as mouth care and range-of-motion exercise to prevent the formation of contractures; peritoneal dialysis; mechanical ventilation and weaning; and administration of medications and blood products (McCloskey and Bulechek, 2000).

Vintage: 2011
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Varietal: Cortese
Cortese varietal grapes are one of the more traditionally varietals used for making white wines in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. Here, they have been grown for white wine production for well over five hundred years, and are an important part of the regions viticultural identity. Cortese grapes produce remarkably elegant and crisp white wines, full of delicate flavors Most commonly, they are said to hold notes of green fruits such as lime and greengage, and this freshness and tartness has led to them being named the most ideal Italian white wine for matching with the seafood of the northern Italian regions. Their moderate acidity results in a medium bodied wine, although cooler years often raise the acid levels in the grapes, making tarter, sharper wines.
Region: Piedmont
Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.
Country: Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

The second Brunner ad is a less direct -- but perhaps more telling -- response to the Democratic efforts. Democratic energy appear to be geared toward elevating Akin -- who they view as less electable -- through negative ads against Brunner and an ad against Akin that looks more like a positive Republican ad. Brunner's second ad singles out Akin. "Todd Akin went to Washington with the best intentions, but he's lost his way," says the narrator of the anti-Akin spot. Brunner's response suggests the Democratic ads are working, or at least have the potential to work. Meanwhile, don't lose sight of Sarah Steelman amid the Democrats/Brunner/Akin tangle. She could win the three-way Republican race.

A K-Mart loss prevention officer is in police custody after a 23-year-old woman who was charged with shoplifting at the store claimed she was sexually assaulted while in his custody.
Fairfax County Police said they responded to a K-Mart located at 6364 Springfield Plaza around 2 p.m. on June 6. There, a 23-year-old woman was detained and charged by police with misdemeanor shoplifting.
"She received a summons by police and was released," said police spokesman Eddy Ezcarate. "Then about two hours later, around 4 p.m., she called police back and reported that she had been sexually assaulted. She claimed a loss prevention officer coerced her into performing a sexual act."
Loss prevention officers work undercover in retail stores to watch for suspicious behavior and apprehend those attempting theft.
Police said the woman was taken to the hospital and detectives conducted an investigation which led to the arrest of Tabbasum H. Gilani, 29, of the 7900 block of Almeda Court in Lorton.
"Gilani is the only suspect," Ezcarate said.
Police said Gilani was the loss prevention officer who detained the woman earlier in the day. Gilani was charged with abduction with intent to defile and forcible sodomy. He was taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center where he is being held without bond. No attorney information for Gilani is yet available in court documents.

Business quote of the day: "What went wrong?"
by Helen Roxburgh Published
Photograph: Getty Images
"Every day I look in the mirror and ask: what did I do wrong?"
Peter Cummings , the former chief executive of HBOS corporate, accused the Financial Services Authority of "sinister" and "outrageous" behaviour by singling him out for punishment. Cummings, interviewed at home in Scotland due to a serious illness, was fined £500,000 by the FSA in September and banned for life for his role in the HBOS collapse.
