Tea party challenges Straus again
Simpson's bid doesn't worry House speaker.

Texas speaker of the house Joe Straus speaks during a luncheon for the Greater SA Chamber of Commerce at the Grand Hyatt, Nov. 8, 2012.
AUSTIN — State Rep. David Simpson, a tea party-backed lawmaker perhaps best known for his legislation targeting intrusive airport security searches, said Tuesday that he is challenging House Speaker Joe Straus of San Antonio.
Simpson immediately was endorsed by fellow East Texas Republican Rep. Bryan Hughes.
Straus, who fended off a tea party-fueled challenge before the previous regular session two years ago, has expressed confidence in his support from House members.
"I have the support of a strong majority of Republicans and a strong majority of Democrats," Straus said in an interview Friday. "And I make no apologies for working with both parties."
House members will choose a speaker when the Legislature convenes Jan. 8.
First elected speaker in 2009, Straus has come under criticism from some hard-right Republicans and some Democrats in the wake of last year's legislative session in which lawmakers grappled with massive budget cuts, a stricter voter identification requirement, redistricting and other hot-button issues, including Simpson's so-called anti-groping bill.
"I respect Speaker Straus as a fellow legislator; however, we differ on the way that the House should be led. And I am not alone in that opinion. The culture of 'go along to get along' politics, where members face intimidation and retribution should they disagree with a leadership decision, stifles representative government," said Simpson, a Longview Republican recently re-elected to a second term.
Hughes, in backing Simpson, said he "has demonstrated that he has both the courage to stand alone and the wisdom and humility to build broad coalitions."
The anti-groping measure is a big issue for tea party stalwarts who oppose government overreach. After it passed the House in regular session and the federal government suggested it could close down commercial flights from Texas airports, Straus in a special session said the proposal was seriously flawed and would make Texas a laughingstock. The bill didn't become law.
Despite the decidedly conservative flavor of state lawmaking in 2011, Straus has been targeted by those on the right who say additional conservative legislation should have been taken up by the 150-member chamber when Republicans had a supermajority. Michael Quinn Sullivan of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility cited zero-based budgeting and a stricter spending limit as two examples.
"We want a speaker who's going to make sure that key reforms get votes," Sullivan said, saying issues deserve an airing even though the speaker can't guarantee a measure will become law. "He is certainly not a conservative in the vein that most Texas conservatives talk about being a conservative."
Straus also has been criticized by some Democrats over the way he dealt with issues including redistricting, Voter ID legislation and budget cuts.
"The speaker's race is really not about Joe Straus vs. whoever the flavor of the day is in the Republican caucus," said Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, who heads the House Mexican American Legislative Caucus. "The true issue for me is that Joe Straus has an opportunity to demonstrate whether he's going to be the speaker that I supported in 2009, someone who demonstrated that they can work with both parties, or the speaker who presided in 2011, who pretty much didn't miss an opportunity to run over Democrats on the House floor."
Despite the attention on Simpson's bid, unseating the incumbent would be an uphill battle.
Straus "is entirely safe," said lobbyist Bill Miller, a Straus supporter.
Rep. Lyle Larson, R-San Antonio, took issue with the idea that Simpson is more conservative than Straus, saying Simpson voted against the whittled-down state budget in 2011. "That's the litmus test," Larson said.
Simpson has said he disagreed with aspects of the budget, including accounting used to balance it and money spent on economic development that he called "pork."

A newly-announced panel is set to look at the debate concerning the right of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs to vote on legislation that concerns England alone.
The UK Government has revealed that a commission has been established "to consider how the House of Commons might deal with legislation which affects only part of the United Kingdom, following the devolution of certain legislative powers to the Scottish Parliament, the Northern Ireland Assembly and the National Assembly for Wales," commonly known as the 'West Lothian Question'.
A response to the West Lothian Question was part of the coalition agreement, but the UK government only released plans for a commission in September of last year. The results of the commission could give greater voting powers to English MPs on certain issues.
The six–strong panel will be chaired by the former House of Commons clerk Sir William McKay. The other members are the Head of Social and Political Science at Edinburgh University, Professor Charlie Jeffrey; senior parliamentary lawyer Sir Stephen Laws and his predecessor Sir Geoffrey Bowman; former UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Emyr Jones Parry, and from Queen's University Belfast, Professor Yvonne Galligan, a leading researcher in gender politics.
However, a statement from the SNP's Constitutional Affairs spokesperson, Pete Wishart, expressed concern as to the members of the panel, primarily that none of them have "direct experience or involvement with the devolved administrations".
Mr Wishart also said: "There is only one clear answer to the West Lothian Question and that is for both Scotland and England to be fully in charge of their affairs by becoming independent and equal nations - that is the best and fairest solution and one that the commission should be able to consider".
On the other hand, Labour's Margaret Curran, shadow Secretary of State for Scotland, has stated that it "is a fundamental principle of devolution that decisions are taken in the right places to reflect our different nations that make up the UK, but that our House of Commons operates together as a country. It strengthens Scotland and I think it strengthens the whole UK".
Mrs Curran also voiced concern that the commission could create inequalities between MPs, saying: "It can't be right to create second-class MPs based on what part of the UK they come from".
Plaid Cymru MP Jonathon Edwards has also given his voice to the debate, saying: "The reality is that a parliament where more than 80 per cent represent one country is always going to be skewed in one direction, with or without Scottish Independence".

Best Electronics for the Audiophile St. Louis 2003 - Best Sound Audio/Video Design Group
Best Sound Audio/Video Design Group
227 N. Lindbergh Blvd.
Creve Coeur, MO 63141
On the ladder of geeky male pastimes, audiophilia ranks way up there, right above cigars, though below gun collections. But it's a harmless pursuit, the quest for the perfect system to fit into the most acoustically perfect room in order to fully appreciate the subtleties buried within a perfectly engineered, perfectly performed King Crimson record. We like Best Sound because they're so damned expensive! It's true, they sell top-of-the-line stuff, but the thing is, in Best Sound's able hands, you get what you pay for. If you're going to spend $400-plus on a pair of speakers -- and you should spend at least $400 on a pair of speakers -- don't be silly and do it at one of the big-box stores; do it at Best Sound, where, within that range, they'll have a pair that will blow your butt across the room. We showed up with cash and they recommended a pair of B&W DM601s, and they were a great addition to our (very impressive) system. Your Flaming Lips records will never sound the same.

US author to help rebuild PH libraries-A A +A
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
MANILA (Updated) — US author Mitch Albom has launched a drive to rebuild 10 libraries in Tacloban, a central Philippine city ravaged by Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in November 2013.
National Book Store Foundation, his Philippine partner in the project, said Tuesday that Albom has pledged to raise $160,000, starting with his own contribution of $10,000 for the libraries.
He has enlisted famous writers to contribute their books to the Donated Reading for Youth of the Philippines project, including Stephen King, Amy Tan and JK Rowling.
The author of the best-selling memoir "Tuesdays with Morrie" visited Tacloban on Monday and also donated 40 boats to help fishermen in the region.
He said during a visit to a damaged school in Tacloban that he was blessed to have many Filipino readers, and that he wanted to do something to help.
"I've seen my own books pulled from the flood-damaged homes, moldy, discolored, yet brought to me to sign," Albom said. "It's incredible and heartwarming."
Many areas of Tacloban were flattened by the powerful typhoon and the tsunami-like storm surge it unleashed.
National Book Store Foundation has said it will match funds raised by Albom on a dollar for dollar basis until the goal is met.
Albom is on a promotional tour in Manila for his latest book, "The First Phone Call from Heaven." (AP)

Haha the still shot of the video preview is classic.
MLS should produce 3 30 second videos similar to this highlighting the season and the finals and run them in Jan and Feb during college basketball broadcasts leading up to opening day.
Then open the season in Portland.
hahaha love it
Really like the sport coats and ties the Gals arrived in. The NBA guys have this down cold.
The MLS players can rock their own look if/when they get paid like NBA playas. Until then, the Galaxy are setting the standard.
Vs seattle
I love how the team rallied around Becks at the end! Great video.
F'n sweet!
NBA playas arent getting paid right now
The most entertaining sporting event I have been to….Thanks L.A.
It was awesome having so many non-Galaxy / non-Dynamo fans at the game. I sat with a ton of Timbers and Sounders fans, which was pretty zen in itself. Everyone was cheering for LA. Felt like a big happy family. Thanks, America.
People who can't appreciate this sport for the drama and passion are closed minded pukes and Eurosnobs who will eventually get in here to rain on this parade can stick it.
That was 160 minutes of surreal joy as I stood and sang and chanted the entire time inside HDC. That is why I buy my season seats. I KNEW that this sport would eventually catch on in America and I KNEW I wanted to be along for the ride.
Thank you to all the money people who believed and all the ordinary people who kept going to the games all around the country. LARS jokes in one of its songs about "…the empty seats at Arrowhead…" but that is no longer valid. MLS is here to stay. And I proud to say that my LA gaLAxy are MLS champs for the 3rd time…
Well done to all involved and well done to you, IVES, for this awesome website. You and all your contributing writers are amazing. Keep up the good work.
Whats with the movie score sound track??? They should have just cut that off midway through and set that video to the music from LMFAO's Champagne Showers!! "A night you wont forget" "Shake that bottle and make it go POP!!!" link to youtube.com
Good fun, that.
Almost as much fun as last year's MLS Cup… almost. For all the schtick people gave about last year's game, one goal was scored by a mad scramble by a guy on his butt while the other was scored on a fluke because a guy sacrificed his leg knowing it was going to get destroyed, then the defense and goalkeeping on a flurry of of shots by Dallas when they had a man advantage when Kandji was drug off the field. That was true grit and determination… this year's game had a few flashes of that, and one great flash of skill which is enough I suppose but nowhere near as exciting as last years.
Classic shot of Becks spraying champagne. Surely Becks can teach those young'ns something about glam-partying.
I think a lot of neutrals were rooting for the Galaxy even if they don't really like them, just because of what it meant for the league and soccer in the US, and maybe hoping their own teams will bring in highly-paid DPs.
The Beckham skeet shot at the end was the best.
By champagne you mean Budweiser of course.
I sure as hell can't play soccer as well as them but I guarantee you I could chug more booze out of that there Cup.
Nice video. Having said that… "MLS Cup between LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo on ESPN beaten in ratings by Chelsea vs. Liverpool re-run on Fox"
Did you see Chauncey Billups and Kevin Durant at their "important" NBA union press conference? Hardly looked professional.
great idea!!!
that video was excellent
cheers baby!!! well done all around
Sonds like typical American media….pretty fishy
Becks beer should have been a sponsor…
Not sport coats but offical team suits. All(most)European teams have official team suits. The Galaxy seem to have gotten on board with it after Becks arrival. Soccer teams have had official team suits prior to the NBA instituting the dress code. The NBA players don't have official team suits, they just have a requirement to wear a sports coat/jacket and tie. MLS players for the most part do that for home or away matches(it depends on the team).
The next step for mls teams should be removing a limit on charter flights. Teams should not have to fly commercial in 2011, especially with the amount of matches and distance required.
nice!!! happy for beckham, donovan, gonzales
go dynamo!
No shots of the Dynamo fans? Thats where the passion was at.
Great film. Agree that a few more Dynamo shots would have been in order. But the victors get the last word.
It means to the European calendar.

Internet - Andrew Brown finds his daughter being manipulated by puppiez
Internet - Andrew Brown finds his daughter being manipulated by puppiez
by Andrew Brown Published
I made a small joke once to a jogger about being able to outrun guard dogs and he didn't think it funny at all: a friend of his had been set upon in the park by a couple of labradors which pulled over their elderly lady owner, bounded after the runner and set about castrating him. Fortunately they did not complete the job, but the other thing that made the story memorable was that the owner, when she finally pulled them off and set about helping and apologising to the bleeding victim, said: "They never usually do that!" The moral, I think, is that owning dogs damages the brain as much as being chewed by them can damage other organs.
Virtual dogs can't do much physical damage: eye strain, RSI, a touch of raised blood pressure when my wife finds they've done a screensaver all over her half of the computer; but the effect they have had on my daughter's mind is extraordinary. I bought Rosie Dogz 3 as a stocking-filler at Christmas. The zed in these names is important and probably trademarked. They are part of a line of Petz, which play with Treatz and zo on. Some years ago she had played with Catz 1 for a while, and then had grown bored. But technology has taken huge strides since then, and Dogz 3 is carefully designed to be very much more addictive.
The Dogz react in vaguely predictable ways to their owners' behaviour. They like to be petted, fed, watered and given things to play with on screen. The box solemnly assures my daughter that they must be played with every day; otherwise they start to pine. This means that the first thing she does on returning from school is to switch on her Dogz and play with them for a while, keeping up a plangent running commentary. The Dogz, like all the best dolls, can be dressed up. They can also breed. That is where the web comes in.
The Dogz are not unduly realistic: they lack normal attributes, such as genitals. Instead, the males have blue name tags and the females have pink ones. To encourage them to breed, they have to be placed in a pen together while the owner chooses music to play to them. It is an elegant and subtle addition that the owner can choose which music will stimulate their brutish appetites.
Now two of my daughter's Dogz are pregnant, or as she puts it, four of them are expecting babies. This is not without drama. I quote from an e-mail that Rosie sent upstairs this morning: "The swine, Peridot, having made Chocolate pregnant, is taking no notice of her and not even attempting to help her during her pregnancy." The other male, apparently, arranges cushions around his expectant spouse. This is all clever enough. But the makers have thought further. What is to happen to all these cute little puppies when they are born? Might they be drowned, or formatted if there is no room for them? No. They are adopted, at specially designed websites, of which there are thousands - perhaps hundreds of thousands. You can take snapshots of your pets and display them on the web, or - as unsuspecting Grannies are shortly to find out - print them into the letterhead of the paper on which you write your thank-you notes. Rosie would spend hours every day searching for fluffy wolves and foxes to adopt if we let her.
Mass sentimentality provokes its own antibodies on the net. Parallel to the Petz sites where snapshots of gambolling puppies in pink cardigans are displayed, there are other, darker sites, run by teenage boys. These are devoted to the torture of Petz, and feature pictures of dogs that have been sprayed with water when they wanted cuddles, and starved, too. Since the Petz never eat anything that does not come from a can this comes as a terrible shock to their trusting owners; so the pro-Petz websites are full of amnesty-type declarations against torture, which must make the torturers feel really good.
Part of everyone involved knows that this is all a game. It's not, in that sense, proper artificial intelligence. But it is amazing and rather depressing to watch how completely Rosie has been sucked into the game. She would talk of nothing else if we let her; and when we get bored, she can always log on and find thousandz of friendz all talking about the same thing. It's the first time the web has really grabbed her, and it has done so for purely commercial purposes. You don't need real AI if all you want to do is manipulate humanz.

Caroline Kennedy was lovely, the film was beautiful and Ted Kennedy's appearance was moving. But I think none of this did Barack Obama any good. Caroline listed Kennedy's many achievements with the refrain after each one that for those who received the benefits of his work, "Teddy is your Senator too." The obvious problem: What has Barack Obama done to remotely compare with any of that? Kennedy's life and accomplishments, whatever your political views, simply dwarf Obama's.
Moreover, in the Democrats' class warfare attack on John McCain I'm not sure the scenes of Kennedy on the yacht are what they had in mind. And finally, the prospect of Kennedy in the Senate whisking Obama's legislation through Congress is likely not a message that will be lost on the Republican ad men.
That said, for committed Democrats he is an inspirational figure and the passing of the torch is keenly felt by them, no doubt. But if this race is now about swing, Kennedy's not going to do the trick with independent voters.
One final thought: the sight of Joe Biden applauding Kennedy's roar about committing troops for a mistake was a priceless bit of irony. Biden did vote for . . . you know the story.

Sourdough Bread
Ok. So I made my first loaf of sourdough bread yesterday with homemade starter, using recipe from Serious Eats. The bread didn't rise in the oven very much, maybe three inches and it was very dense and not very flavorful. I'm feeding the leftover starter daily and will try again soon. Any helpful hints out there?

PS4 takes the next-gen console lead in Australia
Sales data shows that the PlayStation 4 is the top selling next-generation console in Australia.
According to NPD Group Australia, the PS4 has sold more units than the Xbox One in the time period from launch to 2 February.
In fact, it was a banner year for Sony with NPD also reporting that the PS3 was the best selling console of 2013.
There had initially been suggestions that the Xbox One was in the lead but, in its press release about the sales data, Sony noted that the PS4 had initially suffered from limited stock.
Microsoft issued its own press release regarding the Xbox One, specifically noting that the Xbox One was the top selling next-gen console in 2013, suggesting that the PS4 has had it upswing since 1 January 2014.
Microsoft seems to be banking on the upcoming Titanfall to boost sales, with Jeremy Hinton, Microsoft Australia Business Group Lead Interactive Entertainment, saying:
Supply of the Xbox One has been limited since Christmas, however we are doing our best to meet demand, especially for Australians looking to join the action with the launch of Titanfall on 13 March.

1. REQUIREMENTS. Flexible pavement designs must provide sufficient compaction of the subgrade
and each layer during construction to prevent objectionable settlement under traffic; provide adequate
thickness above the subgrade and above each layer together with adequate quality of base and subbase
materials to prevent detrimental shear deformation under traffic; provide adequate subsurface drainage
control or reduce to acceptable limits the effects of frost heave or permafrost degradation where frost
conditions are a factor; and provide a stable, weather-resistant, wear-resistant, waterproof pavement.
Attention must also be given to providing adequate friction characteristics.
2. BASIS FOR DESIGN. The thickness design procedures included herein for conventional flexible
pavement construction are based on CBR design methods. Design procedures for pavements that
include stabilized layers are based on modifications of the conventional procedures utilizing thickness
equivalencies developed from research and field experience. Design of flexible pavements using the
elastic layer method is covered in Chapter 11.
3. THICKNESS DESIGN CURVES. Figures 10-1 through 10-32 are design curves for use in
determining the required pavement thickness for Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force airfield
pavements. The individual curves indicate the total thickness of pavement required above a soil layer of
given strength for a given gross aircraft weight and aircraft passes.
4. THICKNESS DESIGN. The thickness design procedure consists of determining the CBR of the
material to be used in a given layer and applying this CBR to design curves (Figures 10-1 through 10-32)
to determine the thickness required above the layer to prevent detrimental shear deformation in that
layer during traffic. The specific steps to follow are:
a. Determine design CBR of subgrade.
b. Determine total thickness above subgrade.
(1) For Army and Navy design and Air Force design for a specific aircraft, enter appropriate
design curve with subgrade design CBR and follow it downward to the intersection with design gross
weight curve, then horizontally to design aircraft passes curve then downward to the required total
thickness above the subgrade.
(2) For Air Force standard designs, enter the appropriate design curve with the design
subgrade and read the thickness required above the subgrade for a given traffic area.
Determine design CBR of subbase.
d. Determine thickness of material required above the subbase by entering the appropriate design
curve with the design subbase CBR and using above procedures to read the required thickness.
e. Determine the minimum thickness of surface and base course from Tables 8-3, 8-4, or 8-5.
When the minimum thickness of surface and base is less than the thickness of surface and base
required above the subbase, the minimum thicknesses would be increased to the actual thickness

When Yang Heping was 3, he noticed that he looked different from those around him and that people stared at him on the streets. Before he returned to the United States in 1974, Yang, whose Chinese name was given to him by Madame Sun Yat-sen, could only imagine what his homeland was like. He felt like an adopted child wondering what his natural parents were like.
For Yang, 70, his relationship with his own country and relatives was something intangible and abstract, just like the fact that he was really Fred Engst, son of two Americans who had come to China in 1949 to be a part of history.
Yang's father Erwin Engst, a young farmer, came to join the communist revolution after he was inspired by the book Red Star Over China written by Edgar Snow. Two years later in Yan'an, where he was serving as a farm equipment expert, he married Joan Hinton, also from the US.
Hinton was a physics scientist who had been involved in the Manhattan Project, the atom bomb programme. But she resigned after seeing the horrifying destruction the bomb caused in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
After refusing more profitable job offers, the Engsts later spent the rest of their lives on the suburban farms of Xi'an and then Beijing, devoting their energy and expertise to fuelling China's agricultural development.
With the glowing tributes paid to his parents by both the people and the government, Yang says they were simply doing what they loved. Explaining why his parents chose to stay so long in China, Yang says it was the harmonious revolutionary atmosphere, where people were equal despite their differences and all were happily united in a concerted effort.
For Yang, his own road to accepting what he really is was a little bumpier.
Yang's grandmother used to send him clothes from the US, but he often found them too odd to wear. In 1962, the old lady came to visit her grandson and became the "first foreigner" young Yang had ever met. Barely speaking any English and reluctant to learn, Yang had little to say to her.
It was not until the late 1960s that Yang became more eager to learn his mother tongue, propelled by a strong desire to understand the speeches delivered by the leaders of the African-American Civil Rights Movement. But language is not genetically in-built, Yang says, and English was hard for him to learn. His parents, closely involved in the socialist revolution and the construction of the country, were too busy to teach him.
At a time when there was intense ideological conflict between China and the US, Yang was an active member of protests against US imperialism, although his classmates would often tease him by shouting, "Down with US imperialism!" in his face.
Yang has inherited the spirit of his parents, says Li Weimin, former Party secretary of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanisation Sciences where Yang's parents had worked. Growing up at a time when people strove for a better future and disregarded personal interests, Li says Yang has become a man with sound ideals and social responsibility.
After moving to Beijing from Xi'an in 1966, Yang soon found his role in the "cultural revolution" (1966-76) after his mother joined the "rebel group" to challenge the authorities.
Responding to the call for youths in and outside Beijing to learn from revolutionary experiences, Yang went to Yangquan in Shanxi province in late December 1966 and came back in early February 1967, with most of the time spent "in a coal mine helping the rebels with their grievances".
While some educated youths grieved over being sent to the countryside for re-education, Yang offered to go. After his application was rejected, he ended up as a worker in a timber processing plant in Beijing in 1969.
In 1974, attracted by the descriptions of the US in a letter from his cousin, Yang finally visited his homeland out of curiosity. The new experiences began with amazement.
He was fascinated by the advanced machinery at his uncle's farm.
He later worked full time at a factory, earning US$400 a month. His monthly salary at the Beijing plant was only about 38 yuan (US$6.10). Despite that gap in wealth, Yang says, his heart was still in China.
Whatever advancements he saw, his first thought would often be: What if China had that?
The hostility between workers and employers in the US often made him miss his days in the timber plant where people could communicate as equals. After a four-month nostalgic trip back to China in 1977, Yang again went back to the States. This time he started life on a different track.
He attended college part-time in 1981 and received his doctorate, after which he started teaching at college. He also got married, and had two daughters. But he still found it hard to totally assimilate into life in the US.
Having grown up on the antics of the Monkey King, he could not appreciate Donald Duck. He did not like rock 'n' roll and jazz, which for him, was "fingernails screeching against a blackboard". He had no interest in partying or alcohol. But the fundamental problem, he says, was the lack of like-minded friends.
"We cared about different things. I have always thought of America as an imperialist state, but obviously a lot of Americans don't think so. Besides, it's really complicated for me to think of anything with a careful racial perspective," he says.
He repeatedly considered moving back to China, but decided against it out of consideration for his family.
In 2007, his plan to come home became reality after he got divorced, and his two daughters entered college. Yang returned to Beijing, where he now teaches at the University of International Business and Economics.
For five years now, in addition to teaching, Yang has persevered in his studies of the politics and economics of the Mao Zedong era. He is also trying to trace the memories his parents left behind, which he says, is an important part of the reasons why he came back.
His unique experience growing up in a China of dramatic changes has also made Yang a popular guest at lectures in various universities and colleges, and he never tires of sharing his story with his young audience.
As China gradually regains its economic confidence, Yang says he hopes his story can inspire young Chinese to foster "a stronger sense of ownership", and a stronger sense of social responsibility.
Wu Guanghan, a former student, has remained in close contact even after graduation. Wu says nothing can be more inspiring than the admirable character Yang demonstrated.
"He knows what he wants and what happiness is. He has respect for labour and insists one should support oneself with one's own effort. He believes real happiness comes from harmonious interpersonal relationships and making contributions to society," Wu says.

Epidemiology of Obstetric Fistula in Kassala, Eastern Sudan
Current Women's Health Reviews,
9(4): 223-225.
Amira Okud and Abdelaziem A. Ali
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Kassala University, Kassala, P.O. Box 496, Sudan.
Aiming to investigate the epidemiological factors of obstetric fistula, structured questionnaires were used to gather data from women admitted to Kassala hospital, eastern Sudan (2010-2012) with obstetric fistula. Two consecutive women with birth complications and who were discharged from the postnatal ward in the hospital were used to act as controls. During the study period there were 34 cases of obstetric fistula yielding a prevalence rate of 7.7 per100.000 women of reproductive age. Their mean (SD) of age, age at marriage, age at last delivery and parity was 26.5 (6.5) years 18.7(5.1), 24.4 (7) and 2.8 (2.6), respectively. All of the patients were illiterate and majority of them belonged to rural residence (97.1%) and had no use of antenatal care in the last delivery (94.1%). Women with obstetric fistula were those who had less education [34 (100%) vs. 14 (20.6%), P < 0.001], delivered at home [19 (55.9%) vs.18 (26.5%), P = <0.004] of rural residence [33 (97.1%) vs. 28 (41.2%), P < 0.001] and had no antenatal care coverage [2(5.9%) vs. 53 (77.9%), P < 0.001]. Likewise, while use of contraception was not associated with obstetric fistula, primipara [20(58.8%) vs. 17 (25%), P < 0.001] young age at delivery (<20 years) [12(35.3%) vs. 4 (5.9%), P < 0.001], and age at marriage [18.7(5.1) vs. 23.7 (6.7), P < 0.001] were the predictors for obstetric fistula. Thus, effort to prevent obstetric fistula in eastern Sudan should be encouraged by health education, training programmes for the birth attendants and encouragement of institutional delivery.

I received Lindberg's Bismarck from a friend as a birthday gift so I decided
to dress it up with Tom's Modelworks' etched detail set, and an
assortment of other etched bits (hatches, portholes, ladders, etc.) that I
had on hand. Moreover, since I have ICM's Kŏnig
"in the wings," I decided to experiment with a decking technique
I've had in mind for that old girl, and see how it would come out.
made up a deck planking pattern in MS Paint, sized it in Open Office,
and printed it out on the same 110 lb. Cardstock I've used for years
doing paper models. I did the same with several metal grating and
plating patterns "borrowed" from various web imagery. I cut
pieces of the appropriate pattern to fit the chosen location, then
glued the sections down using a tacky craft glue.
in measuring and trimming the individual pieces was the key to a good
fit. (It was made easier by the convenient straight lines running
through the patterns themselves.) Several light coats of clear
acrylic flat gave the inkjet-printed patterns a good resistance to
incidental moisture. Edges were touched up before application with
Prismacolor colored pencils, and I underpainted the joining areas of
the plastic structure with a matching color to minimize the
visibility of incidental gaps and nicks. Deck fittings and fixtures
were attached with the same tacky craft glue I used to lay down the
planking, and proved surprisingly strong. And, since the glue dies
clear, small smudges or overruns are nearly invisible.
comments, questions or observations welcome.
Whatever you do in life, always give 100%. Unless you're donating blood....
That looks quite nice with all the additions you did to the kit. Wasn't the camo carried up the superstructure though? I can see it being very difficult to mask off.
Thanks for sharing your awesome Bismarck.
You did a really nice job dressing up an old kit .
Looks very , very good !
I really like what you have done with this and I especially like the idea of printing out the deck! I've been thinking about what to do to my 1/350 Musashi ad this may be a real keeper!
That is the nicest Lindberg Bismarck ever!!
Compliments there and admiration.
Very nice!
Those decks look super cool, she is a beauty!!
I knew that ship could be a winner ! Everyone always cuts down LINDBERG,S ships , BUT , as I,ve always said , if you want , they can match or best their competition ! It is in what you see and are willing to commit to . I always started my model class shipbuilding students with a LINDBERG ship .It might be the BISMARK , HOOD , or even the "AIR FORCE RESCUE BOAT . SMALL P.T. and so on . They make a good place to familiarize a neophyte to what a model ship is and the basics of putting one together . Later on of course There,s always TAMIYA , HASEGAWA and TRUMPETER , DRAGON etc. That is a nice job and thank you for the inspiration you probably have given those of us who at best are lucky to have a LINDBERG ship in their budget , what with the way things are out there .The Deck work and how you did it is really beautiful . I do papermodels too, and I,ve done the 1/200 KRONPRINZ with wood decks and brass gun barrels and wood for the masts . Tankerbuilder
Here is a Lindberg without the modifications. It really is a wonderful thing which was done by the OP.
When I look at the basic kit as shown in Felix pic & compare it to the wonderful modelling that Greg has done I am in complete admiration for the job he's done, really hard to believe that came from the same base. Simply brilliant Greg. WOW.
I wanted to add more to my first comment about this model but have been fairly busy. I built the Tirpitz release of this kit (when it was still motorized) back in the spring of 1976. My best friend had the Bismarck. When you're thirteen years of age, big and motorized was what mattered, not detail so much, as it usually got in the way of running the model. It was enough that it looked sufficiently like the real ship.
With the amount of care you put into this model, it is hard to believe that it is the same model. Fantastic job. Proof that even "old dogs" can be taught new tricks.
I built two Lindberg Bismarcks.One of 'em just last year.I would never have recognized this as the same kit.
Thanks to all for your very gracious comments.
I confess I wouldn't have chosen the Lindberg Bismarck myself---there's a lot to, er, re-engineer---but I really appreciated the gift and, since the Bismarck has always been my favorite big battleship, I figured I'd have to try to bash it into something presentable. In fact there were only a few really major fixes, and the rest was just adding detail until it looked a bit closer to the mark.
Tankerbuilder, I agree with your sentiments about Lindberg. My "starter" kits way back when were the old box-scale Revell kits rather than Lindberg, but the deal's the same---you have to start somewhere. I've actually gained a fondness for Lindberg in my more advanced modeling years, since they have a bunch of stuff in large scales that nobody else has--I've got a couple of the Coast Guard boats, the LST and the LCT in the stash now, awaiting their respective moments of glory. They're good basic platforms for dressing up, and replacing guns and such with closer-to-scale versions is easier than ever in the era of readily-available intenet references and aftermarket retailers. (Though I will admit it might have been helpful if they'd chosen more consistent scales to produce the darn things in!)
Thanks again to one and all.
I really like what you did! I tried to do something similar in 1968 (I was 14) but gave it up in frustration. As far as Lindberg kits go, I do like their sailing ships; now if they would only market those "pirate ships" under their real names! I wrote to Lindberg several time to try to get them to produce more sailing ships as they seem to have a knack for them, but they politely refused. Oh well . . .

State Audit Scolds St. Louis Circuit Court For Withholding Millions of Public Dollars
Categories: Politics
|Missouri Auditor Susan Montee
The cash is leftover from court-ordered bank accounts that date as far back as 1977.
"The failure to routinely review inactive cases and disburse monies as appropriate" Montee writes, "routinely deprives the state, city or others the use of those monies."
Heather Ratcliffe of the Post-Dispatch has the response from Circuit Clerk Mariano Favazza:
Overall, Favazza said he was pleased with the report, noting improvements since he first invited auditors to look at the books when he took over as circuit clerk. The 90-page audit of the office in 2000 had 51 recommendations; Tuesday's 10-page version had eight.The auditor also recommended changes to the court's "pre-trial release" office, which is in charge of collecting bail bonds. The office came under scrutiny earlier this year.
"Most of those recommendations concern ongoing issues from past administrations for which we continue to make substantial process correcting," Favazza said.

San Patricio County Commissioner Jim Price prevails in the Republican Primary
SINTON - Incumbent Precinct 4 San Patricio County Commissioner Jim Price won Tuesday following a contentious race with fellow Republican Pete Perkins.
Price won with 699 votes or 56 percent to Perkins' 554 votes or 44 percent, with all five precincts reporting.
Price contended during the campaign that he is part of a successful, effective court, a cohesive whole that has welcomed business to the county with open arms and that he is the best candidate to beat Democrat Stewart Wilson in November.
Price said he was relieved the race against Perkins was over and that the acrimony in the race had diminished his view of politics.
"As I was telling people before, I was eating before I had this job and I would do fine without it," Price said. "But if people want me there I want to be there."
Perkins, with support from some key county Republicans, painted Price as ineffective. Perkins was not available for comment on his cell phone Tuesday.
Price said his immediate plans include the continued expansion of the T.P. McCampbell Airport, working with the city of Ingleside and the Implementation Local Redevelopment Authority to get an Ingleside industrial highway corridor built and working with the Port of Corpus Christi in the redevelopment of the Naval Station Ingleside. More immediately, he said he will take an active role in the Sail South Texas event scheduled for July Fourth weekend, when tall ships will dock at the naval station.
Key pending initiatives that will include input from San Patricio County commissioners are the Port of Corpus Christi's redevelopment of Naval Station Ingleside with the Texas A&M University System and TPCO America's planned $1 billion plus pipe manufacturing plant at Gregory. The projects have the potential to reshape the rural county.

A letter to myself.
Thank you, Poppin's Mom, for a wonderful theme for this month. We do need this, don't we? :)
Dear Shruthi,
Stand up, and take a bow. You are doing beautifully.
You didn't think, did you, that you had so much patience, so much love, and so much tolerance in you?
Did you ever think that you would, without a moment's hesitation, put someone else's needs before yours, and not grudge it, or expect anything in return?
Did you ever think that you would spend sleepless nights and have excruciating backaches because of a certain someone, and yet, love her to bits?
You are not too far into mommyhood yet, and there are a thousand challenges ahead. But hey, you know what, having watched you these nine months, I can confidently tell you that you will handle it all with ease.
Follow your heart, go by your instincts, and do what you think is right. You want to bring up a responsible, mature individual - don't worry, you will do just that.
Shruthi, you are a wonderful mom, and you know that. So don't let anybody convince you otherwise.
Love you.

You're welcome Shruthi!! Stand up and take a bow. No matter what they say, the first year of the first baby is the hardest.
You're new to the whole parenting thing, there's advice coming from everywhere and it's just backbreaking work, the sleepless nights and the feeding. To top it all they are just so fragile.
It gets easier from now on and harder too in many ways. Something tells me you've passed the hardest test !

Feb. 28, 2014
COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS --- Junior Morgann Leleux (pole vault) and sophomore Maicel Uibo (heptathlon) captured individual titles to highlight the second day of the Southeastern Conference Indoor Championships in the Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium on Friday.
Leleux won her third conference championship in the event (first indoors) after reaching a season-best height of 14 feet, 4 ½ inches. Uibo scored a season-best 5,859 points to complement the 2013 SEC decathlon crown he captured.
A school record also fell for the Lady Bulldogs as senior Megan Malasarte blistered the field in the 800-meter run prelims with a time of 2:03.08. This marked the third meet in a row that Malasarte has established a school record in the event.
The Lady Bulldogs are second in the team race with 33 points behind Arkansas (39) following the first five events of the three-day meet. The Georgia men are in fifth place with 16 points while Arkansas leads with 56 points.
The women's weight throw (senior Elizabeth Tepe, freshman Asianna Covington), the men's triple jump (sophomore Jamario Calhoun) and the women's triple jump (senior Lucie Ondraschkova) will start the action on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET.
ESPN3 will stream the meet live during the following times: Saturday, March 1 (1:50 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.). The broadcast talent includes Dwight Stones (play-by-play), Larry Rawson (analyst) and Lewis Johnson (sideline reporter).
Georgia had five more scorers on Friday, three qualifiers for Saturday finals and have now posted a total of 22 personal bests in the first two days of action.
"It was a productive day because we scored points and points might be hard to get this weekend," said head coach Wayne Norton. "Winning events is always special and we were able to pull out two wins today. Leleux and Uibo came up big for us. And Malasarte was spectacular with a time that stamps her as an NCAA threat. The first two days have been good. We need to do it again on Saturday."
After taking two tries to clear 13-6.25, Leleux had three first-attempt clearances to reach the top height of her 2014 season. Going into the weekend, Leleux's score on Friday would rank third nationally. This marks the third SEC title for the New Iberia, La., native after she finished first at both the 2012 and 2013 SEC outdoor meets.
Leleux's true freshman teammate, Georgia Stefanidi, reached a career-best mark of 13-6.25 on her second attempt to take seventh for two points. This is the sixth-best mark in Lady Bulldog history.
Uibo delivered the second consecutive heptathlon championship for the Bulldogs after Garrett Scantling won last year. Uibo posted season-best performances in all three of his events on Friday to finish with his top score of 2014.
The Polva, Estonia, native won the pole vault after soaring over the bar at 16-4.75 on his third and final try. Uibo started the day by wining his heat and taking second overall in the 60 hurdles with a time of 8.33. In the heptathlon's finale, he ran a 2:44.49 and won his second conference title by 215 points.
Uibo stands at the No. 3 spot nationally going into the NCAA Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., on March 14-15.
Sophomore Chanice Porter hit the 20-foot mark for the third straight time this season in the long jump and finished third. The 2013 SEC indoor champion traveled 20-5.75 on her sixth jump, which equaled her mark the last time Georgia visited College Station at the Texas A&M Invitational several weeks ago. Porter is second on the latest national descending order list.
Freshman Alex Poursanidis complemented Uibo's win in the heptathlon with a sixth-place finish in the weight throw. The Paphos, Cyprus, native launched an effort of 63-9.50 on his fourth throw in a series that featured four fouls.
In the men's long jump, sophomore Jamario Calhoun recovered from fouls on his fourth and fifth attempts to take sixth with a career-best mark of 23-10.25 on his six try. The Athens native and Cedar Shoals High School graduate passed four competitors on his final jump to add another three points to the Bulldogs total.
Georgia also qualified three runners for Saturday's finals. Malasarte shot out of the blocks in the second heat of the 800 and topped the crew in her group by nearly six seconds. Her 2:03.08 is the second-fastest time in the nation this year.
Malasarte races in the 800 finals at 4:10 p.m. on Saturday.
In the mile, junior Carly Hamilton sped to a season-best time of 4:39.04 to take third in the prelims. After recording two times in the 4:40s this season, Hamilton approached her school record time of 4:36.06 as she works to be included in the NCAA field.
Hamilton runs in the mile finals at 2:40 p.m.
The Bulldog men also had a qualifier as junior Charlie Grethen managed to slip into the field for the 800 finals at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Grethen completed his four laps in 1:49.68 to take fifth in the prelims.
Personal Bests Abound: Georgia has also added another flurry of personal bests in addition to the career bests listed above and in Thursday's report. Senior Johnathan Smith clocked a 6.73 to take 10th in the 60 prelims while sophomore Myasia Jacobs tied the No. 7 mark in school history with a 7.45 in the women's race for 15th in the prelims.
Freshman Rashan Brown left the facility with personal bests in both the 200 (23.76) and the 400 (53.97). In the men's 400, junior Drew Branch sprinted to a 46.97, which is 10th on the school's all-time list, to take 10th in the prelims while freshman Derrick White had a 47.37 to be the 16th finisher in the race.
There were also a variety of personal bests in the distances. Freshman Brian Sullivan finished the mile in 4:11.91, which was good for 12th, as sophomore Steven Spevacek shaved less than a second off his 3000 time to finish with a 8:25.22. During the women's 3000, senior Bret McDaniel also cut less than a second off her top time to take 12th with a 9:47.53.

San Antonio drivers fed-up with wrong-way crashes
Four-car crash leaves some concerned about driving at night
Four vehicles were involved in a chain reaction crash on Loop 410 that sent four people to area hospitals, including a 5-year-old girl.
The accident was caused by a suspected drunken driver who police investigators said turned the wrong way off Zarzamora around 9:30 p.m.
That driver, 21-year-old Patrick Rodriguez, was among the people taken to the hospital.
"It's a big problem. People need to quit drinking so much," said one San Antonio driver Friday morning.
"They need to keep them off the street somehow," said another driver.
Several people suggested the city install more lights, signs and or even spike strips to help keep people from going the wrong way.
There were at least three signs at the corner of Zarzamora and Loop 410 where police said Rodriguez turned left and headed east in the west-bound lanes -- first on the access road, then the main lanes of Loop 410.
"This morning, we took my daughter to the airport at 3 o'clock, and I was very cautious. I was very concerned driving, because if it happened to them, it could happen to anywhere," said a driver.
Some even said it keeps them off the road at times.
"We try not to drive at night," another driver said.
As of Friday at noon, it was not known if Rodriguez had been charged in connection with the crash.

We encourage all YLs who can be near a computer to do so and have our NFARL chat room open located at http://nfarl.dodropin.org. This will allow us to share any information and links with other YLs on the net.
The purpose of the YL net is to encourage YL participation in ham radio both locally and on HF. It is also a way we can get together on the radio waves, get to know each other and have some fun! While the net is to encourage YLs to get on the air, please be assured that we will have fun on all topics that interest the group and not just "tech and radio". The radio discussions will be more generic to assist YLs with questions or concerns about getting on the local repeaters, getting on HF, protocol, etc. We want all YLs to feel comfortable getting on the air. The tech net on Monday evenings is a great resource for discussing the more technical aspects of ham radio and more detailed questions can be covered there.
