Mbeki a 'scandalous failure' - UK newspaper
By Peter Fabricius, Di Caelers & Siyabonga Mkhwanazi
While the international Aids expert and former UN special envoy on Aids in Africa has expressed great dismay at the dismissal of Deputy Health Minister Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, Women's Day turned into a tribute to her, with people from across the political spectrum saluting her bravery and condemning her sacking.
"It's a real blow for the struggle against the pandemic," former special envoy Stephen Lewis said on Thursday.
It's a setback for the people in South Africa who felt their government had turned the corner on Aids and quite a shock to people outside the country who felt the same."
Lewis said he was sure that Madlala-Routledge had been fired mainly because of her criticism of the government and Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang over Aids policy.
"It seems the government of South Africa is determined to discredit itself in the eyes of the international community," he added.
Lewis said President Thabo Mbeki had completely overplayed his hand by firing his deputy health minister.
Madlala-Routledge was fired on Wednesday after refusing to resign her post following discussions with Mbeki on Tuesday.
Her dismissal followed leaks to the media that she had undertaken an unauthorised trip to Spain, with her son and a consultant, at a cost of R160 000.
But on Thursday, presidential spokesperson Mukoni Ratshitanga said Mbeki did not have to give reasons for his decision.
"The president doesn't have to provide reasons.
We are not going to undermine the constitution simply because of this case," he said.
Madlala-Routledge's dismissal was widely reported in the international media, with the British daily, The Independent, labelling Mbeki a "scandalous failure" in confronting the scourge of HIV and Aids in South Africa and saying that, with the dismissal, there were "worrying signs that the situation was about to get worse".
Cosatu also condemned the axing, calling Madlala-Routledge "without question, one of the most successful and inspirational members of the government".
The trade federation's national spokesperson Patrick Craven said all South Africans would be forever in her debt for her key role in uniting the country around a concerted campaign to prevent and treat HIV and Aids.
Democratic Alliance parliamentary leader Sandra Botha said it was widely believed that sources close to Tshabalala-Msimang had set out to deliberately discredit Madlala-Routledge.
"Unfortunately, alongside the women who have made us proud, are others who are letting us all down," she said.
The Rural Doctors' Association of South Africa saluted Madlala-Routledge as a courageous woman who was "a beacon of hope".
"Her quick intellect and keen interest in the concerns of health workers set her apart in an environment that is often seen as opaque and difficult to access," the association said.
SA Communist Party spokesperson Malesela Maleka said Madlala-Routledge's dismissal raised the need for a fundamental review of "the exercise of the presidential prerogative in the context of the ANC being a broad liberation movement, a ruling party, and leader of the tripartite alliance".
On Thursday Aids activist group the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) also slammed the controversy around the deputy minister's trip to Spain as "an orchestrated attempt to justify dismissing her".
But several political analysts said that given the political tensions between Madlala-Routledge and her boss, she should have been more cautious and should have ensured that she followed procedure to the letter when she took the trip to Spain.
Independent political analyst Nhlanhla Mntaka said that although it was the prerogative of the President to employ and dismiss ministers and deputy ministers, this development would cast doubt on the President's objectivity, because there was a perception that the sacked deputy minister has been vocal and contradicted the government on HIV.
Another perception, said Mntaka, was that the president was not acting even-handedly because he did not act in a similar way when Deputy President Phumzile Malambo-Ngcuka undertook a controversial and more expensive trip to Dubai almost two years ago.
The former minister answers some questions
Professor Adam Habib of the Human Sciences Research Council also said the axing would be viewed in a negative light in many quarters.
"What will be seen is that the President is siding with the minister of health over the (sacked) deputy minister partly because of political connections and him sharing the same views (with Tshabala-Msimang)," he said.
Habib said Madlala-Routledge's sacking was likely to create serious tensions and divisions within the alliance and the ANC in the run-up to the December conference.

According to a study from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, each additional $10,000 added to your net worth in retirement increases the chance that an individual will rate his or herself among the most satisfied by 1%. This study has been cited by a number of journalists: John Clements of the Wall Street Journal, Walter Updegrave of Money Magazine, and Joel Dresang of the local Journal-Sentinel to name a few. Each has a similar take on what the study's results mean.
* Retirees like money but dislike risk and uncertainty. Pensions and their guaranteed income help retirees feel more secure than the risk inherent in a 401(k). Today's workers have less access to pensions. (Case in point: Alcoa's latest announcement [via blueprint].) When these workers eventually retire, if security is an issue they may choose to convert their retirement funds to an annuity to guarantee a steady income. An annuity comes with certain costs which should be weighed.
Also, a great 401(k) might make up for a missing pension, according to Timothy Middleton. IBM is one company that put together a nice set of options and benefits for 401(k) participants.
* Active retirees are more satisfied. Retirees who work and volunteer (up to and no more than 200 hours per year) are 13 percent more likely to consider themselves satisfied. At 500 hours per year, the effect reverses.
* Control your exit. Those leaving the work force are more satisfied if their departure was their decision. If an individual is forced out or convinces to leave a job before he or she is ready — psychologically prepared, perhaps — then the retiree will feel less satisfied with retirement.

The film Naar Nederland
The KNS test examines your knowledge of the Netherlands and Dutch society. Everything you need to know is included in the film Naar Nederland. It shows how people in the Netherlands live, how they interact with each other and what customs they have. The film also covers a number of practical matters which will be useful to know when you are living in the Netherlands. The film is approximately 110 minutes long and covers the following topics:
- Geography and housing
- History
- Politics and constitution
- The Dutch language and how to learn it
- Education and parenting
- Health care
- Work and income
Each pack contains two DVDs (PAL/SECAM and NTSC). Both contain exactly the same film in seven or eight different language versions, including the support language you have selected. All DVDs include the Dutch version.
Edited and unedited versions
In the Netherlands, some things are allowed which may not be permitted in other countries. For example, women can walk around on the beach without very much clothing. People are allowed to express themselves freely: they may declare themselves to be homosexual, for example. The film includes scenes of these very typical aspects of Dutch life.
In some countries, however, it is illegal to possess a film showing this type of image. A special edited version has therefore been made with the forbidden scenes removed. This version nevertheless includes a full description of Dutch customs and attitudes. The DVD you receive will contain either the edited or the unedited version (never both) depending on the support language you have chosen.
Edited and unedited versions: English and French.
Unedited version: Chinese, Kurdish, Portuguese, Spanish.
Edited version: Dari, Moroccan Arabic, Pashto, Russian, Somali, Standard Arabic, Riff Berber, Thai, Urdu, Vietnamese.

Brian Marsh, of ProLogis, addresses a crowd Tuesday, before the opening of a new section of Heritage Drive inside ProLogis Park in Etna Township. The corporate park, Marsh said, continues to expand, attracting new industry, and with it, new jobs.
- Filed Under
A newly-extended road opened Tuesday inside ProLogis Park, signaling the corporate park's continued expansion.
Officials from ProLogis, the company that built the 198-acre park on U.S. 40, just west of Ohio 310, hailed the opening as proof the park has exceeded initial expectations.
In 2005, when ProLogis was designing the park, officials estimated it would create 250 jobs, attract $50 million in investment, pour $500,000 into infrastructure work and develop 2 million square feet of building space by this point in time. ...

A new war claims bill could make the proposal more palatable to a cash-strapped Congress, but also would pay war survivors with money that otherwise would go to the local government.
Guam Delegate Madeleine Bordallo re-introduced her proposal for war claims in the House of Representatives yesterday. Past versions of the bill have been shot down repeatedly, usually by the Senate, but the latest version introduces a new funding source in an effort to break the pattern of rejection.
The new bill would use Section 30 money collected from Marines who move to Guam during the planned military ...

|Induction of carnitine palmitoyl transferases 1 and fatty acid oxidation by retinoic acid in HepG2 cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22871568 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The vitamin A derivative retinoic acid (RA) is an important regulator of mammalian adiposity and lipid metabolism, primarily acting at the gene expression level through nuclear receptors of the RA receptor (RAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) subfamilies. Here, we studied cell-autonomous effects of RA on fatty acid metabolism, particularly fatty acid oxidation, in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Exposure to all-trans RA (ATRA) up-regulated the expression of carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT1-L) in HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and increased cellular oxidation rate of exogenously added radiolabeled palmitate. The effect of ATRA on gene expression of CPT1-L was: dependent on ongoing transcription, reproduced by both 9-cis RA and a pan-RXR agonist (but not a pan-RAR agonist) and abolished following RXRα partial siRNA-mediated silencing. CPT1-L gene expression was synergistically induced in HepG2 cells simultaneously exposed to ATRA and a selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α agonist. We conclude that ATRA treatment enhances fatty acid catabolism in hepatocytes through RXR-mediated mechanisms that likely involve the transactivation of the PPARα:RXR heterodimer. Knowledge of agents and nutrient-derivatives capable of enhancing substrate oxidation systemically and specifically in liver, and their mechanisms of action, may contribute to new avenues of prevention and treatment of fatty liver, obesity and other metabolic syndrome-related disorders.

|Effects of acute and chronic maternal exercise on fetal heart rate.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7868435 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Maternal-fetal effects of cycle ergometer conditioning (heart rate of 145 beats/min at 25 min/day for 3 days/wk) were studied during the second and third pregnancy trimesters. Subjects were 22 previously sedentary women and 16 nonexercising pregnant control women. Fetal heart rate (FHR) characteristics were studied before, during, and after 15 min of upright cycling at a maternal heart rate target of 145 beats/min at the end of both the second and third trimesters. Despite higher cycling power outputs in the exercised group, mean FHR responses were similar in both groups and conformed to 1) gradual increase in FHR baseline during exercise, 2) normal variability, and 3) normal reactivity. Fetal bradycardia was observed during (n = 1) and after (n = 2) exercise in three isolated tests. The timing of these events suggested that the likelihood of significant fetal hypoxia is highest in the immediate postexercise period. These results also support the hypothesis that physically conditioned women can perform at higher exercise power outputs than sedentary women without inducing fetal hypoxic stress. Further study is recommended to examine possible fetal and placental adaptations to maternal aerobic conditioning.

The Bend Chapter placed first in the Northwest Division in the category of Cultural Events and Traditions. This division comprises of the states of CA, WA, OR, ID, NV, and AK.
Jo Kifer, chapter chairman of the DAR Service for Veterans Committee, and committee members Virginia Pyka, Marilyn Jole-Spiegel, and Barbara Anderson, interviewed nearly two dozen veterans, mostly from WWII. The transcription and tapes were sent to the Library of Congress, which is collecting these stories. The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress is creating a searchable, national catalog of these oral histories. This registry will be on the Library of Congress web site so anyone can hear or read a veteran's story.
Some of these transcriptions and tapes were entered into the American Heritage, Cultural Events and Traditions, contest sponsored by NSDAR. As a result of our winning the division, our entries will go to National to be judged.
The chapter members who have participated in the interviews or transcriptions say it makes them proud of the brave people who have and are defending our country. "We tend to think of our military as an impersonal entity unto itself, but it is made of individuals, each with a story to tell."

Title insurance giant Fidelity National Financial Inc. said Tuesday, May 28, it would bring one-time subsidiary Lender Processing Services Inc. back under its roof in a deal valued at $2.9 billion.
Terms of the deal call for Jacksonville, Fla.-based Fidelity to pay $33.25 in cash and stock for Lender, a premium of 25% over the target's closing price during the 60 days prior to word leaking that the two sides were considering a deal. Fidelity will pay half of the purchase price in stock and the remainder in cash, subject to certain adjustments.
At closing, Fidelity said it would combine its ServiceLink unit with Lender into a new holding company and sell a 19% interest in that new company to funds associated with Thomas H. Lee Partners LP for $381 million in cash.
The Fidelity-Lender deal includes a go-shop period effective through July 7, with Fidelity due a 1.25% breakup fee or higher under certain circumstances should the deal not close.
Lender, which is also based in Jacksonville, makes software that helps lenders manage their mortgage and related businesses. Fidelity spun out the business, which counts mortgage giants Wells Fargo & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. as customers, in 2008.
Fidelity in a statement said that as the mortgage industry continues to recover from the housing bubble burst, large lenders are increasingly interested in working with just a handful of large vendors able to offer a range of products and services.
"This combination will create a larger, broader, more diversified and recurring revenue base for FNF and makes us the nation's leading title insurance, mortgage technology and mortgage services provider," Fidelity chairman William P. Foley II said. "We believe there are meaningful synergies that can be generated through the similar businesses in centralized refinance and default related products, elimination of some corporate and public company costs and the shared corporate campus."
Fidelity said it believes it can cut $100 million in costs from the combined operations. Foley told investors on a conference call that the company exceeded average synergy targets by 135% -- or that $135 million was not an unrealistic expectation for total synergies.
During the call, Fidelity officials reassured investors that litigation risks surrounding Lender had been well assessed.
Fidelity has been embroiled in controversy around unethical business practices during the U.S. housing crash and credit crisis. This month the mortgage servicing company agreed to pay $14 million to settle claims that it misled investors about its business practices, such as the automatic signing of documents linked to housing foreclosures.
In January it was announced that Lender would pay $127 million to settle charges by 46 states that it forged documents used to foreclose on homeowners. The following month it paid an additional $35 million to settle an investigation into its mortgage document signing practices and entered into a nonprosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice.
"We were very concerned about litigation over the past few years, but after due diligence are comfortable that the bulk of risk is behind the company, with some exceptions," Foley said.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan Securities LLC are acting as financial advisers to Fidelity and are providing committed financing on the transaction. Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP's Michael Aiello, Sachin Kohli, Ryan Taylor, Megan Pendleton, A.J. Frey, Angela Fontana, Allison Liff, Lucas Spivey, Jennifer Bensch, Jordan Fasbender, Marc Silberberg and Chayim Neubort are providing legal counsel.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. represented Lender. Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP's Abigail Bomba and Philip Richter represented Goldman Sachs.
Cooley LLP's Tom Hopkins, Ian Smith, Lesse Castleberry, Stanley Barsky, Yueting Liang, Dan Espinoza, Erin Walczewski and Clark Chu advised FNF on two aspects of the deal: FNF will combine its $875 million ServiceLink business with Lion in a new consolidated holding company named Black Knight Financial Services Inc. and FNF will sell a 19% minority equity interest to THL for approximately $381 million in cash with FNF retaining an 81% ownership interest in the new holding company.
French mergers and acquisitions lawyer Laurent Faugerolas joined Dechert LLP. For other updates launch today's Movers & shakers slideshow.
After announcing in July that it was exploring strategic alternatives, TeleCommunication Systems Inc. has agreed to sell to Comtech Telecommunications Corp. in a transaction with an enterprise value of $430.8 million. More video

Birthday Cone
On any given day there is a debate going on in my house.
Here are some of the latest…
1) Best Pop Tart Flavor…
2) Are chickens dinosaurs?
3) Best Journey song…
4) Can you really tell the difference between 2% and Whole Milk?
5) Are tennis balls yellow or green?
6) Cup O' Noodles vs. Chef Boyardee
7) Would you run and hide or unite and conquer when zombies take over the land?
I am sure you are sincerely concerned with my answers on these most difficult and important life questions…
Geez, stop begging already!
1) Brown Sugar Cinnamon, 2) No, 3) Separate Ways, 4) No, 5) Yellow, 6) Cup O' Noodles, 7) run and hide (duh)
You might have a difference of opinion, but I'm just gonna tell you that you are wrong.
My answers are clearly the most accurate, based on years of research.
Our most recent disagreement has lead me to today's post.
You all know what Drumsticks are, right? They are a delicious pre-packaged ice cream cone that come in lots of flavors.
Here's where the disagreement begins…
What is the best part of the Drumstick?
One of my son's says, "The ice cream"
Wrong answer.
My husband says, "The nuts on top"
Wronger answer.
I now begin wondering who it is I live with and what alien has invaded their body.
Clearly, the correct answer is the chocolate at the bottom of the cone. There is no other answer!
So, in that vein I decided to one-up the Drumstick.
How you say?
With frosting. Get on board people.
Delicious buttercream frosting at the bottom of your favorite ice cream cone just seems like an idea that should have been invented long ago.
I deem it the birthday cone…but you know as well as I do that there needn't be a birthday to enjoy frosting. It's one of my golden rules.
Let's begin….
Here's what you'll need:
Ice Cream, Frosting, Sprinkles, an ice cream cone and Chocolate syrup..if you're feeling messy!
Now take a generous tablespoon of frosting and push it into the bottom of the cone.
Now fill the cone with your favorite ice cream.
Top with syrup and sprinkles and you're done!
There are so many variation on this the possibilities are endless!
Have a great weekend!

Dipping it in Magic Shell instead of Hershey's would also be tasty, and now they have a cupcake flavor of Magic Shell!
July 29, 2011 at 7:29 pm
So cute, love it!
July 29, 2011 at 7:29 pm
You are so right…the chocolate in the cone and the cone itself with said chocolate are the best part. In our house we have arguments over what they're actually called. My husband calls them nutty buddies, I call them drumsticks or sundae cones.
I agree with the pop tarts and cup o' noodles too, and Best Journey song..yep, Separate Ways..great song! Although Don't Stop Believin' is real close. My daughter had the orchestra version play for the processional at her wedding a couple weeks ago. ?
….but the zombie thing I have to disagree with ya on that one…I gots a chainsaw, I ain't scared! bwahaha . 😉
Have a great weekend!
BTW…lovin' the new blog/site! Looks marvelous!

I love this idea!! So adorable.
July 29, 2011 at 7:32 pm
I would run from zombies. They do not work well with others. Super delicious looking. I love that Ice cream!
July 29, 2011 at 7:48 pm
I love this Shelly! If I make these I'll have to add the candle, even though it's no one's birthday. It just seems like the right thing to do.
July 29, 2011 at 7:51 pm
Right away I thought chocolate….now I see how wrong I am. Frosting is genius and I never thought of chickens and dinosaurs but now I might.
July 29, 2011 at 8:01 pm
My favorite part is the chocolate, I totally agree with you. But of course, as a buttercream lover I would go for it also.
July 29, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Love this birthday treat!
July 29, 2011 at 8:22 pm
This is great! Everything is better with a little frosting
July 29, 2011 at 8:45 pm
yummy!!!!!!!!!!.like ur idea
July 29, 2011 at 9:02 pm
omg i just died and went to fatgirl heaven!
July 29, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Besides great taste and texture, frosting works perfectly in preventing drips from the bottom of the cone. Can't wait to try it!
Thanks for answering all those pressing questions, Shelly:)
July 29, 2011 at 9:55 pm
well . . . i beg to differ but THE CONE is the best part of a drumstick . . . BUT i must also concede that i'm rather 'meh' about chocolate except on occasion . . . yes, i am weird . . . but you already knew that, right???
July 29, 2011 at 10:10 pm
I am right there with you…the chocolate in the bottom is the BEST part! How about melted chocolate on top and underneath the frosting??? Best of both world and sure to keep the zombies away:-)
July 29, 2011 at 10:15 pm
As someone who is not very good at baking, this is a dessert I can totally get behind!
July 29, 2011 at 10:16 pm
These are adorable!! (By the way. You're totally right about the chocolate at the bottom of the cone. Psh. It is essential to ice cream enjoyment! …but I still think tennis balls are green. Sorry. :P)
July 29, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Totally the chocolate at the end of the cone. It actually works quite well around here because I eat the chocolate coating, my husband eats the ice cream, then I get the last half ot the cone with the chocolate in it!
July 29, 2011 at 10:55 pm
My favorite pop tarts are the brown sugar and cinnamon! Feel free to check out my blog!:)
July 29, 2011 at 11:21 pm
It depends on the day what my favorite is! Right now I want something crunchy…
July 30, 2011 at 12:07 am
I love this!
July 30, 2011 at 12:26 am
You are a genius! Frosting really should be it's own food group, it's goes well with everything. And I totally agree with you on everything, especially that the chocolate at the bottom of the cone is the best part, I mean who doesn't know that?
July 30, 2011 at 12:45 am
Have you tried a Skors Drumstick. It has caramel in the bottom! Much better than a regular old drumstick!
July 30, 2011 at 2:25 am
How very appropriate. It's my birthday
I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been so busy doing my own blog that I haven't stopped by in a while! You changed your design!! It looks awesome
Thanks for always posting the BEST stuff!
{Sweet Treats Thursdays}
July 30, 2011 at 2:26 am
–also, the chocolate at the bottom of the cone is CLEARLY the best part.
July 30, 2011 at 3:22 am
this little cone is something that anyone can do! That is awesome…in other news, I like brown sugar cinnamon too, but would challenge your journey selection.
July 30, 2011 at 5:27 am
What a great post and the answer to so many of life's questions…but I'm with your hubby…I like the nuts on the top… However, I like your version better than the store bought!
July 30, 2011 at 11:14 am
Girl! That is the best idea since, like… well, since the Reese's Stuffed Crescent Rolls! It's the perfect reason to save just a little of that buttercream. Word.
July 30, 2011 at 5:33 pm
You are SO right. Obvi. I always lived for that chocolate…except it was usually all melty when I got to the end! You could have so much fun with the buttercream, playing with flavor combos!
July 30, 2011 at 9:14 pm
I love this idea! I agree with a commenter about using Magic Shell around the cone, but … what about putting magic shell on TOP OF the frosting! Then ice cream, more magic shell and sprinkles?
July 30, 2011 at 11:35 pm
what a yummy looking cone that is
July 31, 2011 at 3:15 am
You made me LOL, THRICE! Terrible joke, only Golden Girls watchers get that joke. You should email my hubby and tell him its almost my birthday and things like this really win wife points =)
July 31, 2011 at 5:41 am
I forgot to comment on this on Friday but it was so perfect that you posted this idea the day you did! My little brothers birthday! He was on a birthday vacay but it will be fun to do this for him when he gets back.
July 31, 2011 at 5:57 am
This is FANTASTIC!! I definitely need to make me one! Thanks for making me laugh, too
FYI, I gave you an award today on my blog
August 1, 2011 at 1:21 pm
I'm on board. Just don't leave without me. Yummy!
August 2, 2011 at 2:45 pm
AMEN SISTER! BTW, I've been lurking around here for months and love the look of your new design. However, I'm uber-lazy and like to just scroll down & see your whole posts rather than having to exert all that extra energy & click on each older post… That being said, YOU ARE HILARIOUS and get funnier by the minute! I love this post – and you're so right about the chocolate in the Drumstick. The frosting inside is an even better idea. GENIUS!
August 2, 2011 at 4:00 pm
I love the bday cone! I think this is a great idea!!!
August 3, 2011 at 6:46 pm
What a darling idea! Icing, ice cream, sprinkles, chocolate sauce & a cone? *heaven*
August 7, 2011 at 11:39 pm
Oh dear lord, I couldn't agree more! I do this too, except I use Nutella!!
August 17, 2011 at 3:54 pm
I'm thinking pb icing with chocolate ice cream. Yummmmm!

Joan Manning: Republicans out of touch
Joan Manning, Shasta Lake
Republicans out of touch
The Republican Party, with the disastrous George W. Bush presidency still fresh in public memory, has decided not to compensate for its past mistakes by moving toward the center. Seeing no real opposition from the Democrats, it has moved further to the right.
Republicans speak of small government as though there were few government functions that could not be done more efficiently by profit-making entities. While our Founders intended that government should "promote the general welfare," the Republicans cry "free markets," ignoring the fact that their goal to remove restrictions on business and destroy labor unions has been a major contributor to our economic distress.
Major corporations, given the opportunity to amass great wealth with few restrictions and little opposition, have adopted greed as a way of doing business. This has resulted in criminal acts with global consequences, which may cost the perpetrators a few million dollars in fines, but rarely bring a prison term. What trickles down to the rest of us, contrary to fable, is hardship.
Wealthy Republican presidential hopefuls continue to tout "free markets," mindless of the cost to the rest of us. And by mocking President Obama as "the food stamp president," they ridicule those who must depend on social programs in these difficult times. Blind to the consequences of their own acts, they fail to acknowledge the contributions of the Republican Party to our continuing economic disaster. Why would anyone vote for a candidate so desperately out of touch with the American people?

Warriors Rookies are making an impact on the rookie ladder:
2 Klay Thompson : Golden State Warriors
Thompson gets a bump this week after twice setting career-highs in scoring (27 in a win over New Orleans and 31 three nights later in a win over Sacramento). With each game, Thompson's confidence grows as he becomes more comfortable being "the man". And despite Tuesday's loss in a hyped matchup with Kobe Bryant (the rookie scored 20, but was just 10-for-25), his coach and teammates can't say enough good things. "Everything he does already is what you try to teach young two guards coming into this league," coach Mark Jackson told the San Francisco Chronicle. "He competes, he loves the game and he knows the game." Teammate Nate Robinson, in his seventh season: "Klay really is one of the best shooters I've ever seen. If you want to pad your assist numbers, you just pass it to Klay."
-- March 28
10 Charles Jenkins : Golden State Warriors
With Stephen Curry and Nate Robinson sidelined, the Warriors' second-round pick has stepped in and stepped up. Jenkins, taken with the 44th pick out of Hofstra, had 27 points and six assists in Sunday's loss in Portland and followed that with 12 points and three assists in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers. "I can always get better," Jenkins told the San Francisco Chronicle earlier in the week. "You can't get satisfied in this league. I think I did a good job of getting guys shots where they are comfortable, but I had four turnovers, which still hurts me right now." Jenkins seems to have a great attitude, which should help him as he tries to keep his spot on the Ladder.

White House aides like to say Rahm Emanuel's tough-guy image is an overstated stereotype, but when the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers gives the guy a dead fish for his sendoff, you know there's something to it.
Austan Goolsbee, a long-time member of President Barack Obama's inner Chicago circle, gave the man who wants to be mayor of Chicago a dead Asian carp wrapped in a Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times this morning, providing a flashback to one of Emanuel's more memorable retributions, a dead fish sent to a pollster who had crossed him. (The White House is focusing on the more unlikely explanation: the Asian carp, an invasive species that is threatening the Great Lakes and menacing Chicago.)
About 30 to 35 staffers crowded the West Wing's Roosevelt Room this morning to wish their hard-driving chief of staff happy trails. White House aides said Emanuel told them, "I know that I pushed you all very hard. But I did it in service to the president, and I believe that our whole country is better off for it."
Take that quote with a grain of salt. It seems a bit sanitized for Emanuel, but White House aides may be preparing for a linguistic shift as their cursing chief heads back to Chicago and a softer-spoken Pete Rouse, currently a senior White House adviser, slides into the chief of staff's office temporarily – and possibly permanently.
Staffers gave Emanuel a standing ovation ahead of the public sendoff he'll get from the president just after 11 a.m.

Murray State leads the OVC West by three games, but men's coach Steve Prohm knows the Racers need to play better, especially on defense.

Coach Steve Prohm chuckled slightly when asked to assess the season.
Murray State University has been a microcosm of college basketball this year: You have no idea what's going to happen.
Just when it appeared the Racers had turned the corner with consecutive impressive home victories over Belmont and Tennessee State, they dropped road games at SIU Edwardsville and Eastern Illinois. ...

Your Guide to the Best Summer Ever: Hide Away
There are 93 days between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox—that's 93 official days of summer. But as experienced Seattleites, we know that number doesn't translate to 93 days of sun (we'd be thrilled just to break last year's record of 48 clear days in a row). That's why our summer guide offers ways to make the most of every summer day—rain or shine.

Living With ESRD
Resource Guide
Renal failure, also known as kidney failure, occurs when the kidneys can't perform their normal functions. It usually occurs in middle-aged and older people. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs on either side of the spine in the lower back. Their main functions are to remove waste from the body and to balance the water and mineral content of the blood by filtering waste, minerals, and water. The waste and water combine to form urine.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) refers to a permanent condition in which the kidneys are no longer able to filter waste from the blood. As the wastes build up, the tiny filters in the kidneys continue to lose their filtering ability. Although damage to the nephrons may occur suddenly after an injury or poisoning, many kidney diseases take years or decades to cause noticeable damage. ESRD is generally diagnosed when kidney function drops to 10% of normal. The two most common causes of ESRD are:
End-stage renal disease can lead to

1)Power washed and sealed pavers in front of the house bordering our drive way and back yard walk way. Power washed and stripped patio travertine pavers due to faulty application from previous installers and sealed the travertine with color henced sealer. Looks beautiful!! The job took due 2 weeks from start to curing time due to lots of rainy and cloudy weather..... This was not the Paver Sealing Plus's fault. Mike always called to let me know their schedule, when they would or hoped to show up depending upon weather conditions. Everyone was very polite and did a good job. Will use them again. 8/20/12
2)They were very good to set up a time, be there when they said and very courteous. They did an excellent job. I would definitely use them again. 11/11/12
3)Excellent, followed-up after project to make sure all areas were sealed and re-applied sealant in high water drainage area. Repeat customer. 12/19/12

Andrew Griffith of University of Tennessee Ag Economics provides us with some good information on marketing fall-born calves:
Most folks in the beef cattle industry are currently focused on marketing spring-born calves and what those calves are worth. While recognizing the importance of fall marketing, Griffith reminds producers that now is the time to focus on management practices that can increase calf value when fall-born calves go to market next spring or summer.
"Castrating and implanting of bull calves are well-documented to improve calf value," said Griffith. "Implanting suckling calves has been found to add as much as 20 pounds of gain to calves. Given current prices, that could easily result in an additional $15 to $30 per head." The expert adds that if a producer plans to retain heifers, it might be best to forego implanting them.
Similarly, Griffith says steer prices relative to same-weight bull calves are generally higher. "The price spread between same-weight steers and bulls changes throughout the season. Generally, the younger the animals, the smaller the spread; and the spread in the spring is generally more narrow than it is in the fall."
Taking the process a step further, Griffith recommends that producers start deciding on marketing alternatives. "We have many livestock auctions across the state that will receive cattle every week. However, there may be some marketing opportunities that could result in higher returns. Such opportunities include graded sales, marketing alliances and video sales if the producer can fill a truck load lot," he said. Graded sales, marketing alliances and video sales would be considered value-added methods of marketing. For a producer to capture additional value, additional management is generally necessary.
"This additional value usually includes weaning cattle for a minimum of 45 days and a health program including deworming and vaccinating for blackleg and respiratory diseases, among other practices."
Griffith also thinks this may also be a year in which producers could benefit from backgrounding calves and marketing them at heavier weights. "Backgrounding calves means the producer would retain ownership of the calves for a longer time period than the 45-day weaning period. Retaining ownership for an additional 45 days or so after the 45-day weaning period allows producers to continue to grow the calves with the expectation of capturing a larger profit than if sold after the 45-day weaning period," he said.

Two newcomers set to join Trafford Council
The two incoming Trafford councilmen say they want to improve the borough government's bond with residents.
Political newcomers Peter J. Ledwich, a Democrat, and Kris Cardiff, a Republican, will be sworn in as borough councilmen in January after winning seats in the general election last week, according to unofficial results from Westmoreland and Allegheny counties.
In all, five seats on the seven-member council were on the ballot. Ledwich, 29, finished second in the six-person field for one of the quartet of four-year seats. Cardiff, 36, won a two-year seat by beating incumbent Councilman Henry Schultz, who also received the fewest votes for a four-year seat.
Incumbent Democrats Casey Shoub and John "Jay" Race and Republican Richard Laird also won four-year terms. While both Shoub and Laird have a decade's worth of experience on council, Race joined the board as an appointee in February.
In the mayor's race, incumbent Rey Peduzzi, a Republican, defeated Democrat Mary Dobos, a former mayor, 61 percent to 39 percent.
"I'm sure they're all going to work hard for the community, and I'm looking forward to working with them," said Ledwich, who has been chairman of the Trafford Planning Commission.
Ledwich said he wants to work to make borough government more transparent, including posting Trafford's budget online for residents to view. As a new official, he said he concedes he won't know the answer to every resident's questions, but he'll work hard to learn about an issue and try to address it.
Cardiff, received nearly 69 percent of the 596 votes cast in his race. He said he always has started researching how to restart the borough's crime watch and wants to involve residents in the effort.
"My ultimate goal is to make those council meetings standing-room-only, to have people involved again," Cardiff said.
He also said he enjoyed going door-to-door in the weeks before the election to meet residents and intends to make a similar effort again in the spring.
"I didn't just want you to give me your vote," Cardiff said. "I want you to know that I'm here, and I want that connection."
Shoub led all of the council candidates in either race with 438 votes, followed by Ledwich with 417. Laird received 329 and Race got 328.
Brian Ellicker, a Republican whose name remained on the ballot despite withdrawing from the race, received one more vote than Schultz's total of 267 in the four-year race.
Schultz did not return a message requesting comment about the results.

Paul Ragueneau
Jesuit missionary, b. in Paris, March 18, 1608; d. Sept. 8, 1680
Ragueneau, PAUL, Jesuit missionary, b. in Paris, March 18, 1608; d. September 8, 1680. He entered the society in 1626. In 1636 he went to Quebec, and was soon sent to the Hurons with Le Moyne, Duperon, Jogues, and Gamier, to labor under Brcbeuf during the long and painful period preceding the conversion of that nation. He was one of the heroic bands who, in 1637, being exposed to death at every moment, signed and sent to their superior as their last will a joint act of resignation to martyrdom. In 1645 Ragueneau was superior of the Huron mission which counted eighteen workers. He possessed a perfect mastery of the language. The death of the martyr Jogues was the signal for many conversions, and Ragueneau writes with admiration of the fervor of his neophytes. Five of his fellow-missionaries won the martyr's crown in different posts under Ragueneau's direction, the first being Father Daniel (July 4, 1648). He remained at his post at St. Mary's on the Wye until persuaded by the Huron captains to join the fugitives on St. Joseph's island (1649). The notable increase in the number of conversions (3000 Indians being baptized in 1649) rewarded his zeal. After a bloody defeat, followed by the massacre of Fathers Chabanel and Garnier, Ragueneau, yielding to the entreaties of the few whom famine, pestilence, and the fury of the Iroquois had spared, led the small band of 400 survivors, the remnants of a nation of ten thousand, to their final refuge, Quebec, after a long and perilous journey. In 1650 he became vice-rector of the college of Quebec and superior of the Canadian mission. It was during this time that he directed in the ways of holiness a highly privileged soul, Sister Catherine of St Augustine, whose life he wrote. His influence in the supreme council and with Governor de Lauzon was the occasion of his removal to Three Rivers (1656). The year following he was sent as superior to the Iroquois mission. On his way to Onondaga he witnessed the butchery of his Huron companions, for which he reproved the murderers, the Senecas and Onondagas, at the peril of his own life. Informed of the impending massacre of all the French in the Iroquois country, Ragueneau's genius planned and realized their escape and return to Quebec (1658). He returned to France (1662) with Bishop Laval, and remained there as procurator of the mission. Besides a life of Sister Catherine of St-Augustine (Paris, 1671), Ragueneau wrote "Relations" of 1648-9, 1649-50, 1650-1, and 1651-2. No other Jesuit in Canada wrote so much as he. On one of his missions he saw and mentioned Niagara Falls thirty-five years before Hennepin, the alleged discoverer described the cataract.

Members of the Texas House largely breezed through a slew of gun bills Saturday - that could change the conceal handgun licensing process, where CHL holders can carry, and how school kids are protected.
"When are children are being attacked, then and only then will these individuals have the authority to act as law enforcement," said State Representative Jason Villalba (R-Dallas).
Villalba said the deadly shooting of 20 first graders last December in Connecticut led him to file House Bill 1009. It would create a new law enforcement classification -- the school marshal. Modeled after the federal air marshal program -- it would allow schools to designate and train at least one employee to conceal carry on campus.
"Unfortunately in this world of limited resources, we have to find a way to protect those schools that don't otherwise have school resource officers," Villalba said.
House Bill 972 by Rep. Allen Fletcher (R-Cypress) would allow CHL holders to conceal carry and store their weapons on college and university campuses.
"It's very inclusive about the fact that the universities can opt out or opt in. So they can make these rules on their own."
Like Villalba's bill, Fletcher's is not a mandate. Both measures leave it up to the local school district or higher ed institution to enact the changes.
They're pieces of legislation that received final passage in the House Monday, and now move onto the Senate for consideration.
Lawmakers have filed a total of 100 gun bills this session.
