Returning Rohit seals series

Rohit Sharma made the most of his surprise recall with an attractive 83 as India opened up an unassailable 3-1 lead in the one-day international series with England courtesy of a hard-fought five-wicket win at Mohali.
A much-maligned figure in India after eight single-figure scores in his last nine ODI innings, Rohit answered his critics in style after being brought in at the top of the order in place of Ajinkya Rahane.
Rohit was reprieved on 12 when a leaping Kevin Pietersen failed to hang on to a difficult one-handed chance at mid-off. Thereafter, he progressed with maturity to underpin a successful chase of 258 that was clinically finished off by Suresh Raina, who contributed 89 not out from 79 deliveries.
Things may have been different had Raina been given out for 41 when edging Steven Finn to slip, with 80 still required and India four down. However, a dead ball was called after the paceman clipped the stumps at the non-striker's end.
There were positives for England, not least the performance of Joe Root, who followed up battling innings of 76 from Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen with an innovative unbeaten 57 that provided further evidence of the young Yorkshireman's talent.
A total of 257 for seven represented a creditable effort by the tourists, who replaced Craig Kieswetter with Jos Buttler, after India had won the toss and elected to bowl in conditions that favoured the seamers.
Yet Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side were not to be denied and head to Dharamsala for Sunday's final match on the back of three successive wins.
Cook and Pietersen, brought together by Ishant Sharma's dismissal of Ian Bell in the 10th over, were forced to work particularly hard for their runs as the ball nipped around for much of the innings.
England's captain, who capitalised on another quick outfield with 13 fours, eventually departed in unfortunate fashion - lbw to a Ravichandran Ashwin delivery that appeared to pitch some way outside leg stump.
A wobble followed as Eoin Morgan and Samit Patel fell cheaply, but Pietersen accelerated effectively in the closing overs and found a perfect foil in Root, who demonstrated finesse, power and excellent shot-selection after being put down on nought by Virat Kohli.
The impressive Ishant bowled Pietersen with a fine yorker and Ravindra Jadeja struck twice at the death to complete figures of 3-39.
However, England still managed to take 100 from the final 10 overs, with Root completing his maiden ODI fifty after Raina had spilled a sitter at midwicket.
Hopes of a series-levelling win grew when James Tredwell followed up Tim Bresnan's removal of Gautam Gambhir by having Virat Kohli caught and bowled and Yuvraj Singh lbw in quick succession.
At that stage, the game was in the balance, but Rohit, punishing anything loose, upped the ante alongside Raina and looked set for a hundred before Finn won a debatable lbw verdict with one that looked to be doing too much.
Raina then benefited from his dead-ball let-off to guide India home, sharing 55 with Dhoni, who fell to the expensive Jade Dernbach, and an unbroken 45 with Jadeja.
Live Text Commentary
India Innings
2:23pm - END OF MATCH - INDIA (258/5; Raina 89 not out) WIN BY FIVE WICKETS AND TAKE THE SERIES - That will be that. An improved display from England after one-sided defeats in Kochi and Ranchi, but India, boosted by fine innings from Rohit and Raina, proved too strong. The hosts make it home with 15 deliveries to spare.
2:15pm - Raina launches Bresnan for an effortless straight six. He will not have the chance to get a hundred here, but this has been a fine knock. Just seven runs are needed from 24 balls.
2:06pm - India are almost home and hosed now. Jadeja has settled in quickly and Raina remains unbeaten on 77.
1:58pm - England are having to find a couple of overs from their part-timers here, with Finn having been bowled out in search of a much-needed wicket. Root is therefore recalled and sees an lbw appeal against Ravindra Jadeja turned down.
1:51pm - WICKET! Dhoni c Morgan b Dernbach 19; Ind 213/5 - Dhoni throws his wicket away by carving a wide delivery from Dernbach straight to point. I fear it could be too little, too late.
1:48pm - Things are looking rather bleak for England now as India bear down on their target. Bresnan is twice punished for veering on to Raina's pads and the hosts need just 45 more.
1:35pm - FIFTY! Raina (46b 6x4 0x6) - England's players are not too impressed by that dead-ball call, as it was Finn's first offence in the innings. Their frustration grows as another edge from Raina flies wide of slip to bring up the batsman's fifty.
1:25pm - My word, this could be a huge moment. Finn has Raina, driving loosely, caught at slip with the first delivery of the batting powerplay, but England's celebrations are cut short as umpire Steve Davis calls dead ball. Not for the first time, Finn was guilty of clipping the stumps at the non-striker's end.
1:22pm - That is simply wonderful from Raina; the left-hander skips down the track and drives Root past the cover fielder. There is a stumping appeal next ball, but Raina just got his foot down in time after initially overbalancing. India require 80 from 15 overs.
1:17pm - Dhoni and Raina, seemingly ignoring the orthodox approach to calling, indulge in some pretty hopeless running between the wickets in a tight over from Bresnan. Another lbw appeal from Finn, this time against Raina, is turned down before Dhoni drives effortlessly down the ground for four.
1:08pm - Mahendra Singh Dhoni, batting in Ishant Sharma's jumper, gets off the mark immediately with a glance to the fine-leg fence. India's captain is rapped on the pad next ball, but it looked like he just about got outside the line. That may also have been a tad high. Good stuff from Finn, though. He has revived England's hopes here.
1pm - WICKET! Rohit lbw Finn 83; Ind 158/4 - A deft paddle-sweep takes Rohit into the eighties. This has been an excellent effort from a player heavily criticised in sections of the Indian media throughout 2012. However, it's all over now!! Finn, who bowled well up front without reward, wins an lbw verdict with his first ball back. I think Rohit was unfortunate there, as that looked to be doing a little too much, but England will not mind one bit!
12:53pm - As I mentioned before play, no Indian has ever scored an ODI hundred in Mohali, but Rohit is firmly on course. The fifty partnership arrives from just 37 balls and even Tredwell cannot stem the flow of runs at present. Raina gets away with a miscued pull off Dernbach but then connects cleanly with a similar stroke that takes India beyond 150.
12:45pm - Dernbach concedes 11 on his return to the attack as Raina collects two leg-side boundaries. India have regained the upper hand very swiftly following Yuvraj's departure.
12:40pm - England could do with getting rid of Rohit pretty soon. He is batting beautifully now, epitomised by a glorious cut off Tredwell that brings his 10th boundary.
12:36pm - Buoyed by his recent landmark, Rohit gives the run-rate a lift in some style. He steps down the pitch to plant Tredwell for a straight six and then collects swept fours off the Kent spinner and Patel, who has replaced Root. Raina produces a mirror-image of his partner's aerial sweep to register his first four.
12:30pm - FIFTY! Rohit (73b 6x4 0x6) - Rohit, who now has Suresh Raina for company, moves to 50 with a nudge into the leg side off Root. Tredwell's double-strike has slowed India's progress.
12:20pm - WICKET! Yuvraj lbw Tredwell 3; Ind 90/3 - Tredwell gets Yuvi again, for the fourth time in as many matches! The left-hander is struck in front of leg stump attempting a deft sweep.
12:18pm - Off-spin from both ends now, with Joe Root looking to add to his excellent batting display. The hosts require 169 from 168 balls.
12:10pm - The much-maligned Rohit is answering his critics pretty well so far. He paddle-sweeps Tredwell to the fine-leg rope to provide India with a welcome boundary. Their progress thus far is very similar to England's before them. This match could go either way.
12:03pm - Yuvraj Singh is the new man at the crease for India. He has fallen victim to Tredwell in each of the previous three matches and appears wary of this fact as he defends cautiously against England's in-form off-spinner.
11:53am - WICKET! Kohli c & b Tredwell 26; Ind 72/2 - England turn to James Tredwell and the move pays dividends! Kohli is seemingly deceived in the flight by the off-spinner and offers up a simple return catch.
11:50am - Dernbach gets his line right to draw a thick edge from Kohli, but the ball flies through the vacant slip region for four. A single brings up the fifty partnership.
11:42am - Wide again from Dernbach and this is not what England need; Kohli cuts for four more and India end the 14th over on 60 for one.
11:38am - Dernbach comes on and offers too much width with his first three deliveries, which are all cut to the sweeper on the boundary. Rohit takes advantage of another poor ball by going aerial over gully. Samit Patel is then introduced and Kohli picks up his first four with a lofted straight drive.
11:30am - Kohli has yet to settle, illustrated by a play-and-miss outside off against Finn. The batsman sends a top-edge skywards next ball, but it drops safely between wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and Bresnan, running in from fine-leg.
11:25am - You cannot bowl short on this pitch. Finn does and is whipped over the leg-side infield for four by Rohit, who then produces another fine pull stroke to collect four more off Bresnan. India end the powerplay on 35 for one. England were two runs better off at this stage in their innings.
11:17am - DROPPED CHANCE - Ooh, that was close!! Rohit, on 12, doesn't get hold of an attempted thrash over mid-off, but a leaping Kevin Pietersen can't quite cling on to a tough one-handed chance. Two balls later, Kohli mis-times a drive at Bresnan and is relieved to see the ball land marginally short of the same fielder. A couple of let-offs for India!
11:11am - Virat Kohli, the star man in Ranchi last week, is beaten all ends up first ball. England would love to see the back of India's number three as soon as possible.
11:08am - WICKET! Gambhir c Buttler b Bresnan 10; Ind 20/1 - That's more like it from Bresnan! He lands one on a good length and has Gambhir caught behind, although the batsman did not appear happy with the decision. I don't think there was any edge as Gambhir played a cross-batted stroke.
11:06am - Samit Patel gives away two overthrows with a bizarre lob over the stumps from about five yards. Not sure what happened there; the ball must have slipped. Bresnan concedes four to Gambhir through point, but Finn is proving much more threatening and sends one whizzing past Rohit's outside edge. After 11 dot balls in a row, Finn errs in length and is clipped through midwicket.
10:58am - Tim Bresnan is preferred to Jade Dernbach at the other end and quickly discovers that dropping short is not a good idea as Rohit pulls confidently for four. Finn shows the way with a probing maiden to the right-hander.
10:49am - Steven Finn follows the lead of Ishant Sharma by finding a good, in-between length in the first over. On the one occasion when he does over-pitch, Gambhir drives to the left of mid-off for four.
10:44am - India' s reply is about to get under way and Gautam Gambhir has a new opening partner in Rohit Sharma, who many feel is fortunate to have regained his place. Let's see if he can make the most of his opportunity.
England Innings
10:05am - END OF INNINGS - Eng 257/7; Root 57 not out - Root brings up a superb fifty (43b 7x4 1x6) by pulling Ahmed for four. Another boundary down the ground follows next ball and James Tredwell also finds the fence before the innings comes to an end. England added exactly 100 in the final 10 overs. Will it be enough? We will find out shortly.
9:59am - WICKET! Bresnan c Yuvraj b Jadeja 0; Eng 241/7 - Jadeja gets another man caught at point, Tim Bresnan lasting just two deliveries.
9:57am - WICKET! Buttler c Yuvraj b Jadeja 14; Eng 241/6 - Jos Buttler gets in on the act, thumping Jadeja back over the bowler's head for six before picking up four more through midwicket. The next ball is fired in wide, however, and Buttler can only pick out the fielder at point.
9:53am - DROPPED CHANCE - Root top-edges a sweep off Jadeja but sees Raina put down an absolute sitter at midwicket. In the next over, Root reverse-sweeps Ishant (yes, you read that right) for four – what a stunning shot that was! England have 231 on the board with 12 balls to come.
9:46am - WICKET! Pietersen b Ishant 76; Eng 220/5 - The impressive Root gets down on one knee to scoop Ishant over fine-leg and Pietersen then demonstrates his power in smashing consecutive balls over extra-cover and wide long-on for four and six. Ishant gains belated revenge by bowling Pietersen with a full delivery, but England have made healthy progress in the last 15 minutes.
9:38am - This is what England were looking for. Pietersen flays Ahmed past mid-off and mid-on in the 44th over, before Root carts Ashwin over midwicket for a maximum. The Yorkshire youngster then cuts for four more before Pietersen clears the infield at mid-off. Twenty-seven runs have come from the last two overs.
9:29am - FIFTY! Pietersen (84b 3x4 0x6) - That's clever from Raina, who sees Pietersen coming and tries to fire one down the leg side. The batsman sticks his pad out to prevent a stumping chance and then edges through the vacant slip region to bring up his half-century.
9:25am - Dhoni calls upon Suresh Raina's gentle off-spin – an interesting move at this stage. The part-timer is unsuccessful with an optimistic leg-before appeal against Pietersen, but will be content to concede just four in his first over. Root then leans into a glorious cover drive off Ahmed. We will take a few more of those!
9:18am - Root is a good sweeper of spin and finds the rope at deep backward square in an otherwise quiet over from Jadeja. Ishant is bang on the money again thereafter. He has shown England's seamers exactly where to bowl on this pitch, which continues to offer seam movement. With 10 overs remaining, the tourists are 157 for four.
9:10am - DROPPED CHANCE - Jadeja completes a second successive maiden. Joe Root then edges Ishant to first slip, but Virat Kohli cannot take a one-handed chance to his left and the ball runs away for four.
9:04am - WICKET! Patel c & b Jadeja 1; Eng 142/4 - Ishant almost cuts Pietersen in half with a gorgeous nip-backer. India strike again soon after as Jadeja holds a low return catch to account for Patel. A partnership is desperately needed now!
8:58am - Samit Patel joins Pietersen and plays out a maiden from Jadeja. The batting powerplay will now be taken. Can England get going again?
8:54am - WICKET! Morgan c Yuvraj b Ashwin 3; Eng 138/3 - There is no doubt about this dismissal. Eoin Morgan, promoted to four, gets a leading edge and is caught by the fielder running back from mid-on. England have further reason to rue Cook's unfortunate departure.
8:45am - WICKET! Cook lbw Ashwin 76; Eng 132/2 - Dear oh dear. After sweeping the expensive Ashwin for four, Cook is adjudged lbw to a ball that appeared to pitch well outside leg stump. He can barely believe it, and neither can I!
8:38am - Pietersen is bowled...but only from a dead ball that saw the batsman pull away just as Ashwin entered his delivery stride. There is no appeal from India and Pietersen has a chuckle with Mahendra Singh Dhoni. With 30 overs gone and two men well set, it is time for England to step on the gas.
8:32am - Ashwin twice drops short and is cut to the point fence by Cook on each occasion. We saw that shot countless times in the Test series between these two teams before Christmas. A dreadful mis-field from Ishant sees Pietersen pick up four in Ashwin's next over. The run-rate is now above four and rising.
8:22am - Ravindra Jadeja, England's non-spinning nemesis in this series, is introduced and concedes seven in his first over, which features a powerful slog-swept four from Cook.
8:13am - FIFTY! Cook (74b 9x4 0x6) - Cook is leading by example here. After underlining the need for England's top order to fire, he has dug in with a gritty innings. Keep going skipper!
8:11am - Pietersen produces his first shot of authority, a majestic straight drive off Ashwin that races away for four. After scoring two runs from 21 deliveries at the start of his innings, KP has added 15 from 14 balls and is starting to look settled.
8:07am - The run-rate, just below four, is not particularly great, but I think England will be satisfied with their progress thus far, having talked about the need to keep wickets in hand. Bhuvneshwar returns to bowl his ninth over and keeps things tight once again.
8am - Pietersen looks far more comfortable against Ashwin, who is unable to find any turn in his first set of six. Cook, meanwhile, is approaching 50 and a large percentage of his runs have come in boundaries; he picks up a ninth four with a leg-glance off Ahmed.
7:52am - This is a real struggle for Pietersen at the moment. He can barely lay bat on ball, but he is still there. Ravichandran Ashwin enters the attack.
7:47am - I have not seen Ishant bowl this well for a long time. The tall, long-haired paceman can often be erratic, but today he is finding the perfect length to exploit the seam movement on offer. He beats Cook on two more occasions, although there is respite for England at the end of the over; a leg-side wide is followed by a short ball that Cook pulls for four.
7:41am - A thick edge through square-leg enables Pietersen to pick up his first runs. Drinks are subsequently taken with England 53 for one after 15 overs.
7:36am - Another good over from Ishant, who is sticking to an excellent line and length outside off stump. His only loose delivery is clipped down to fine-leg by Cook, who now has 33. Pietersen has yet to score.
7:27am - Cook keeps the boundary count ticking with a well-timed push down the ground. Kevin Pietersen is then struck on the right elbow by Ishant and reels away in agony. After a brief stoppage, England's number three is able to continue and survives an lbw appeal when struck marginally outside the line. Ishant is causing all sorts of problems.
7:12am - WICKET! Bell c Bhuvneshwar b Ishant 10; Eng 37/1 - Frustrated by Ishant's accuracy, Bell shimmies down the pitch and attempts to clear mid-off. He succeeds only in slicing the ball high to third man, however, where Bhuvneshwar takes a fine catch.
7:08am - Ishant Sharma takes over from Ahmed and beats Cook with his first delivery. The new balls continue to nip around, but Cook picks up a fifth four, to the right of mid-off, when Bhuvneshwar over-pitches.
7am - Bell follows Cook's lead - and spoils Bhuvneshwar's previously excellent figures - with fours on either side of the wicket. England have 32 on the board after seven overs.
6:55am - This is excellent from Bhuvneshwar, who is starting to find extravagant movement. Bell survives a stifled lbw appeal before Cook is well beaten outside off. The captain responds with a trio of fours off Ahmed, with two well-timed strokes through midwicket sandwiching a push to the cover rope.
6:48am - Bhuvneshwar maintains a probing line in a maiden to Bell. England pick up their first boundary in the next over as Cook drives through cover, before slashing at thin air to one that seamed away.
6:40am - Shami Ahmed strikes Ian Bell on the pad first up, but the ball was sliding down the leg side. India's new-ball pair are finding some assistance through the air, as anticipated, although this looks a decent pitch.
6:34am - There is still a degree of mist as play gets under way. Alastair Cook is off the mark immediately with a single, but then plays and misses later in Bhuvneshwar Kumar's opening over, which yields two runs off the bat and two wides.
Pre-Play News
6:25am - There was quite a lot of fog around the ground this morning, but I'm pleased to tell you that it is much clearer in Mohali now. Cook admitted England had hoped to bowl themselves, with overhead conditions expected to favour the seamers early on. Buttler, meanwhile, is winning only his second ODI cap, although the Somerset wicketkeeper-batsman has previously demonstrated his talent in Twenty20 cricket for England.
6:15am - Here are the teams in full:
India: Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Shami Ahmed.
England: Alastair Cook (captain), Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, Samit Patel, Tim Bresnan, James Tredwell, Steven Finn, Jade Dernbach.
6:05am - INDIA WIN THE TOSS AND BOWL - Mahendra Singh Dhoni wins another toss and sticks England in for the second successive match. Jos Buttler replaces Craig Kieswetter in the tourists' line-up. India bring in Rohit Sharma for the out-of-form Ajinkya Rahane at the top of the order.
5:50am - The toss will take place shortly and we will find out whether England have opted to make changes to their team. In the meantime, here's a statistic for you. There have been six ODI hundreds scored in Mohali, but none by an Indian.
5:40am - It is not difficult to pinpoint the reasons for England's losses in Kochi and Ranchi. Ashley Giles, Cook and Ian Bell have all acknowledged the need for the tourists' top order to deliver, as they did in Rajkot.
5:30am - Good morning everyone and welcome to ecb.co.uk's live coverage of the fourth one-day international between India and England in Mohali. The hosts have come from behind to lead 2-1, which means Alastair Cook's side must avoid defeat today to keep the series alive.

Prince Charles Says Educate Kids about Food
Speaking at an event for better school food, Prince Charles blamed junk food for kids' bad behavior and disconnect with nature:
"Over the last 40 years it would appear we have created a whole generation, the parents of the children you teach, whose understanding of where food comes from and how it is produced is severely limited. And it is causing real harm.
"It is about rescuing today's generation of over-industrialized children, about instilling in them a life-long appreciation of food and the way it is produced and reconnecting them with nature," he to told The Daily Mail.
Actually, despite his absent-minded reputation, Prince Charles is staunch advocate for both healthier food and a greener environment.

LOS ANGELES - The No. 3 UCLA men's water polo team returns home to face No. 7 UC Santa Barbara (17-10, 2-3 MPSF) on Saturday, Nov. 10. The Bruins look to win their fourth consecutive game and improve upon their 3-2 MPSF record. One year ago, UCLA defeated UC Santa Barbara in overtime, 7-6, in Santa Barbara, Calif.
No. 7 UC Santa Barbara (17-10, 2-3 MPSF) at No. 3 UCLA (17-5, 3-2 MPSF)
Saturday, Nov. 10 - 1 p.m.
UCLA's Sunset Canyon Recreation Center
BRUINS BEAT TRITONS: The Bruins registered a 14-6 victory over non-conference foe UC San Diego on Saturday evening at UCSD's Canyonview Pool. Sophomore Scott Swanson led UCLA with three goals, as Tyler Jemmett, Clay Jorth and Marco Santos each scored two goals. The win improved UCLA's career record against the Tritons to 45-1.
SCORING DEPTH: Through 22 games, 13 Bruins have scored 10 or more goals. Four Bruins have logged 20 or more goals as sophomore Scott Davidson leads the way with 33. Seniors Justin Johnson (26) and Marco Santos (26) and junior Krsto Sbutega (22) round out the top four goal scorers.
30 AND COUNTING: Sophomore Scott Davidson became the first Bruin this season to eclipse the 30-goal mark when he found the back of the cage twice against Pacific (Oct. 21). In UCLA's 9-5 victory over USC, Davidson scored two goals, marking his 10th multi-goal effort of the season. Including last weekend's win at UC San Diego, Davidson has scored in each of UCLA's last eight matches (15 goals).
CAPTAIN IN THE WATER: Through 80 career matches, senior team captain Justin Johnson has scored 68 goals, including 26 this fall. Johnson has scored in 18 of UCLA's 22 matches this season and has tallied five multiple-goal efforts. The Mission Viejo, Calif., resident scored the game-winning goal in sudden-victory overtime against UC Irvine (Sept. 22).
SUPER SANTOS: Senior Marco Santos has scored 26 goals in 22 matches, tied for the second-highest total on the club with classmate Justin Johnson. Santos, one of the premier centers in collegiate water polo, has scored in 17 games this season, including nine of UCLA's last 10 contests. In four years, Santos has recorded 80 goals in 95 career matches.
SBUTEGAN SENSATION: Junior Krsto Sbutega, a product of Kotor, Montenegro, has recorded 22 goals in 17 contests. Sbutega, a mechanical engineering major and two-time Academic All-America selection, scored four goals in the third-place contest against Stanford (Sept. 16) and against Santa Clara (Sept. 30) at UC Santa Cruz.
HOT HANDS: Sophomore goalkeeper Chay Lapin registered a career-best 15 saves in UCLA's 9-5 win over USC on Sunday, Oct. 28. Lapin successfully thwarted both of USC's five-meter penalty shots. In 15 contests this fall, Lapin has totaled 150 saves and posted a 6.63 goals against average.
THREE GAMES TO GO: Just three games remain on UCLA's regular-season schedule. After Saturday's match against UC Santa Barbara, the Bruins will play at home against Pepperdine and at Long Beach State.
POSTSEASON: UCLA travels north for the MPSF Tournament (at California) on Nov. 23-25, when it will look to improve its NCAA Tournament resume. The top eight (of nine) MPSF teams qualify for the conference tournament, and four teams from across the nation advance to the season-culminating NCAA Tournament (Dec. 1-2 at Stanford).
RANK THIS: After defeating then-top-ranked USC, 9-5, on Oct. 28, the Bruins vaulted to the No. 2 spot in the national collegiate men's water polo rankings. UCLA's climb to No. 2 marks the Bruins highest ranking since being ranked No. 1 the week of Oct. 12, 2005. Since then, the Bruins have spent time as the third- and fourth-ranked teams.
AT THE HELM: In his ninth season as head coach of the men's water polo team, Adam Krikorian has tallied an impressive 172-52 career record at UCLA, his alma mater (class of 1997), while leading the Bruins to three NCAA titles. He has also served as the women's water polo head coach for nine seasons, guiding the women to six national titles. Krikorian played water polo for the Bruins from 1992-95, helping lead the 1995 squad to its first NCAA championship since 1972.

To the Editor:
On behalf of the Iron County residents and taxpayers who signed an April 19 letter to the county board members, I would like to thank Joe Pinardi, chairman of the Iron County Board of Supervisors, for his thoughtful response.
The letter was a request of the board to hold a hearing for public discussion of the lease/option of 3,300 acres of Iron County forest to Gogebic Taconite in conjunction with their potential iron mine. Pinardi has agreed to schedule a hearing and we genuinely appreciate that.
We would also like to congratulate Pinardi on his new position as chairman of the Iron County Board. In these turbulent times in the county, we recognize the challenges facing the leaders of our community and commend Pinardi for accepting those challenges on our behalf.
Thank you, Joe Pinardi and all board members, for your service.

Mother-daughter duo smuggle pills into Pinellas County Jail
Mom now joins daughter in jail
A mother-daughter duo was busted for reportedly smuggling pills into the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater.
Mary Ann Albertson now joins her 27-year-old daughter Janelle Albertson behind bars.
Both have been charged with conspiracy to introduce contraband to a county detention facility and introduction of contraband to a county detention facility.
"Desperate people do desperate things," said Maj. Timothy Slaughter of Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. "You have to be pretty brave."
Slaughter said Mary Ann hid dozens of pills, including Xanax and morphine, in a public restroom at the jail.
An inmate worker picked up the pills and delivered them to Janelle, said Slaughter, who said Janelle sold the pills in jail for things like shoes, phone cards and commissary goods.
Other inmates spilled the beans to deputies.
"Inmates that are willing to say something and a great investigative team. That's how you put this stuff together," Slaughter told ABC Action News.
Slaughter admits that if it wasn't for whistle-blowing inmates, this scheme would likely have gone on for a lot longer.
"It's a big place, and they have a lot of time to think about trying to get over on us and we have to stay one step ahead," Slaughter said.
Janelle Albertson was already in jail on other drug charges with a bond set at $60,000.

Advocate file photo by Bryan Tuck. -- The Department of Veterans Affairs Commuity Based Clinic in Lafayette. Photo provided by the American Press -- Lake Charles Interim VA Clinic at 4250 5th Avenue MATTHEW DALY and DARLENE SUPERVILLE| Associated Press Aug. 7, 2014; 11:32 a.m. Comments FORT BELVOIR, Va. (AP) — Veterans may soon have easier access to government-paid health care under a bill President Barack Obama signed into law Thursday, the government's most sweeping response to date to a public uproar over systemwide problems that have rocked the Veterans Affairs Department. With service members, lawmakers and military leaders looking on, Obama put his pen to the bill at Fort Belvoir, an Army base south of Washington, where he held up the legislation as a rare example of Republicans and Democrats working together effectively. Denouncing delays in care for veterans as wrong and outrageous, Obama said the government would keep moving ahead with urgent reforms to ensure veterans have the care they've earned. "This will not and cannot be the end of our effort," Obama said. "We have to make sure the VA system can keep pace with the new demands." The $16.3 billion measure allows the Veterans Affairs Department to hire thousands of doctors, nurses and other health professionals at the VA's nearly 1,000 hospitals and outpatient clinics nationwide. Under the new law, employment rules will be revised to make it easier to fire senior VA executives judged to be negligent or performing poorly. Congress approved the measure last week before taking a five-week recess — one of the few significant bills approved this year by both the House and the Senate. The legislation is a response to reports of veterans dying while awaiting appointments to see VA doctors and of a widespread practice of employees covering up months-long wait times for appointments. In some cases, employees received bonuses based on falsified records. The veterans bill, approved with strong bipartisan support, "will put in place reforms and needed additional resources to meet the high standard of service that our veterans have earned," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. The bill devotes $10 billion in emergency spending over three years to pay private doctors and other health professionals to care for qualifying veterans who can't get timely appointments at VA hospitals or clinics or who live more than 40 miles from one of them. It includes $5 billion for hiring more VA doctors, nurses and other medical staff. The bill also authorizes $1.3 billion to lease space for 27 delayed medical clinics in 18 states, including ones in Lafayette and Lake Charles. Plans for the clinics were cast in doubt when congressional budget officials adopted a new, higher-cost formula for estimating lease expenses. A 2013 House-approved bill to authorize the leases fell victim to procedural wrangling in the Senate early this year. Authorization of the leases puts them on the VA's to-do list — a critical step — but does not provide money for them. That would require separate legislation. The 27 clinics have been designated by the VA in its budget requests as necessary to satisfy unmet needs for veterans' medical care. The VA network — the largest single health care provider in the nation — treats 9 million patients at 150 hospitals and 820 clinics. The VA operates a small clinic in Lafayette now and has set up a mobile clinic in Lake Charles, but neither is considered sufficient by the agency. The VA has taken aggressive steps in recent months to address systemic problems found in its health care system, Earnest said, adding that reform measures will continue and accelerate under new VA Secretary Robert McDonald. McDonald, a former Procter & Gamble CEO, was sworn in July 30 to lead the sprawling agency, which employs more than 310,000 people and provides health care for nearly 9 million enrolled veterans and disability compensation for nearly 4 million veterans. "This is a labor of love for him, and he has hit the ground running," Obama said. The VA announced last week that it planned to fire two supervisors and discipline four other employees in Colorado and Wyoming accused of falsifying health care data. Deputy Veterans Affairs Secretary Sloan Gibson said more VA employees will be disciplined as the agency tries to root out the causes of a scandal that he said has breached the trust between veterans and the agency created to serve them. Gibson, who served as acting secretary for two months after Eric Shinseki resigned as VA secretary, has vowed to protect employees who file whistleblower complaints — a promise McDonald has echoed since taking office. Any intimidation or retaliation against employees who raise concerns will not be tolerated, they said. ——— Follow Matthew Daly on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MatthewDalyWDC Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Basketball is a game played low to the ground and in straight lines. Coach Lyndsey Fennelly, a former standout point guard at Iowa State University and was later drafted by the WNBA's Indiana Fever, uses this simple, but effective drill to get those points across and to create a great habit among her players through repetition.
The drill begins with the player picking up the basketball from the ground. This forces the athlete to be low to the ground and in triple-threat position when getting the ball. Coach Fennelly believes the first step is critical when putting the basketball on the floor. She wants her players to cover as much ground as possible in the first dribble. The drive should be a straight-line drive which means the player needs to use a push step, rather than a crossover step, to get to the basket.
By being efficient with the dribble and covering the most ground with the initial dribble, you can make up for not being the best athlete. If you attack and drive your shoulder into the defender, you can get by the defender as he or she closes out onto you.
1) Pick Up the Ball Low to the Ground
2) Use a Push Step to Get Towards the Basket in a Straight Line
3) Drive the Shoulder at the Defender
This video came from Lyndsey Fennelly's basketball video All-In-One Complete Player Workout. If you're looking for additional videos to improve your basketball skills, click here.

Africa's New Frontier – Afternoon Sessions
13:30 – Society
Topic: Educating Generation Next: Expanding higher education for future African leaders
- What are the connections between higher education and long-term economic growth
- How can international partnerships expand access to higher education in African countries, and for African students
- What kind of higher education is most relevant for Africans and Africa
- How are old and new broadcasting mediums used to expand access to education
- Boubakar Barry, Coordinator, Research and Education Networks, Association of African Universities, Ghana
- Neil Turok, Director, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada and Founder of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), South Africa
- Olu Ajakaiye, Research Director, African Economic Research Consortium, Kenya
Boubakar Barry is speaking about the challenges in Africa with relation to education.
In order to meet the challenges, we should have a holistic approach. ICT has an important role to play in meeting educational challenges. Education and research networks are important. They create an environment where experimentation can occur and drive innovation. Researchers feel isolated as there is no critical mass in specific fields, it does not allow them to participate globally. Co-operation should be promoted amongst African universities and universities globally.
Examples of networks:
- UbuntuNet Alliance, which links educational and research networks in 12 African countries.
- Another initiative is WACREN, for west and central Africa
- KENET – Kenya, which links 500 institutions
- TENET – South Africa
The goal is to change the landscape and link the African research community with the global community. In the near future, Africa will be fully integrated.
Next up is Olu Ajakaiye He is presenting stats on the state of higher education, Africa lags behind in most areas. Looking at examples like number of pc's per 100 people, access to TV's, access to the Internet etc. Knowledge intensive services are not strong, South Africa is an exception. Only 2 countries are advancing towards a Knowledge economy, South Africa & Mauritius.
- In the beginning, ROR was used as yard stick to measure. This was bad as it switched the focus from HE.
- New analysis takes into account broader impacts of HE such as spill over to wages and increased quality of life
Modalities for international support
- Overseas scholarships, the result is many people left but did not come back
- Centres of excellence
- A network of local and international scholars
- AERC is an example of a network which combiners International and African scholars
- Brings african scholars and their institutions together with international scholars and insitutions
Neil Turok is up next, speaking about AIMS for Africa.
We are all Africans….
He is showing us some serious physic equations, and links the formula to how these principals have been used in technology such as mobile phones.
Scientific knowledge is our most important knowledge, we will need it to meet the challenges we will face in the future. Advanced science is making enormous strides, it's important that Africa takes it's place in the global scientific community.
They created AIMS (African Insitute for Mathematical Sciences) in 2003, to enable the best students in Africa to become researchers. They faced challenges with funding.
- Currently 54 students, just as many women as men
- Only the best lecturers
- A 24 hour learning environment
- Relevant
- Innovative
- Cost-Effective
- High Quality
in 2004 28 graduate students, now 254 students have graduated. He is currently speaking about the next einstein initiative and creating 15 AIMS centers. He also showed us a truly inspiring video of a South African student who went through AIMS. Niel ends with:
Africa's is the worlds greatest untapped pool of scientific & technical talent It is also the continent in greatest need Developing Africa's brightest mind is vital for Africa Only Africans can fix Africa Smart AID proposal for G8
Time for questions, this post will be updated with the next sessions details.
15:30 – Media
Topic: The cellular evolution: How mobile phones make markets work better
- How is cell phone banking relieving poverty and stimulating growth
- What new business opportunities are created by the proliferation of cell phones
- What are the second-order effects of expanded cell phone use (niche economies, etc.)
- Vincent Kadar, CEO, Telepin, Canada
- Julius Juma, Lecturer at the Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nairobi, Kenya
- Heloise Emdon, Program manager, Communities and the Information Society in Africa
First up is Heloise Emdon, who is giving us an overview of Acacia who will be speaking on the mobile revolution.
- 12 years ago when the IDRC started the model was to provide internet connectivity to rural communities.
- Livelihoods have improved for the BOP
- Mobile phones catered to the pentup demand for communication services in Africa
- Created side industries that were capitalized on
- MPesa is being used as an example, financial regulations in most countries do not allow this model
- Mpesa reduces the transaction fee from 15% to 5%
- M-Health, example is JavaRosa that is used as a decision support system and to capture information
- Sub-Saharan Africa, has the lowest fixed line density, but mobile density is on Par
- Internet users per 100, is only 6.47 in Africa
- More users have mobile phones then bank accounts in Africa
- Mobile internet will never replace fixed line internet, its personal
- in 1995 Latin America was on par with Africa in tele density, 8 years later Latin America has a totally different picture far exceeding Africa.
- Almost half of African countries are landlocked, so the new fibre links coming in will take a while before it reaches these countries.
- South Africa has the highest number of fixed lines
- Countries that have achieved high growth rates, have invested 5-7% in communications infrastructure
- We will only see growth once there is investment in this infrastructure (Communications)
Next up is Julius who will be speaking on "Linking smallholder farmers to markets an experience from Kenya"
Characteristics of these farmers:
- Volumes traded are very small
- It's costly to sell
The market has failures which results on costly retail prices of seeds and fertilizers and poor prices for producers amongst other things. This leads to farmers being trapped in subsistence farming.
Small holder farmers are important, and it's important to ensure that they efficient linking them to markets. Mobile phones are being used to address the constraints of Small holder farmers. Examples:
KACE provides market information and prices for different markets via mobile phones. Prices provided are wholesale pricing. The prices are extremely timely, and also shows you the prices of markets closest to you.
DrumNet links Input Dealers, output buyers, farmer groups and the banks. Drumnet also assists farmers with SMS reminders guiding the farmers for example "It's time to harvest". A farmer is linked to a Bank as well as a buyer, all transactions were enabled via mobile phones. Transactions were cashless.
Before drumnet there were several intermediaries, the farmer only ended up with 65% of the total price payed by the eventual buyer.
After drumnet, replaced most of the intermediaries, brokerage, provided finance. Farmers now earn as much as 86% of the final price payed by the buyer.
Question was asked to farmers: How much food did you borrow or receive as gifts? They found that drumnet farmers were less likely to borrow food or receive gifts. They were also more likely to give food to others, its clear from the results that farmers using the drumnet system seem to be more well off.
Better markets = Higher Margins for farmers
A new project has been started together with the IDRC, eARN (eAgricultural Research network), to figure out what has worked and what has not worked in the different projects around Africa.
Now we have Vincent Kader speaking, who will be speaking on mobile money.
- Mobile phones have a higher impact then even broadband internet
- Second highest growth in the world is from Africa
- Mobile money is a tool for financial inclusion and growth
- 200M International migrant workers remitting to dependaents
- 70% of mobile users are prepaid
- Stores in canada sell prepaid vouchers for an operator from the philippines, used to transfer cash to dependents.
- The road to mobile money: Top-Ups, Airtime balance transfer, mobile financial services, domestic transfer, international transfer
We have come to the end of the formal program for the day, and just in time my laptop says i have just 17 minutes left. It was a packed day, all in all some very useful information. Check back tomorrow for more reports on the sessions here.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is on the march. Anyone who expects him to stop with the Ukraine -- particularly in the face of a timid response from the G7 -- doesn't know how far Putin is willing to go. After all, this is a man who didn't let his country's constitution, of all things, stop him from setting himself up as President-for-life.
Over the past few weeks, this has been said again and again. So has this: Russia's military might is an effective deterrent against direct intervention. More than this, Russia's energy reserves make it economically robust. But its overwhelming reliance on oil and gas sales to fuel its economy also make it vulnerable.
But that's also a huge vulnerability.
Proponents of the Keystone XL pipeline have trumpeted its potential to counter Putin's geo-strategic power. By making a greater supply of Canadian oil available to meet demand, Keystone XL would tighten the market for Russian oil and reducing competition from American buyers in Europe's alternative markets.
That's one thing. But as Diane Francis points out in the Huffington Post, approving the Keystone XL pipeline could be a stroke of strategic genius for a President whose foreign policy has otherwise been one of staggering ineptitude.
Tightening the market for Russian oil is a pretty sweet strategic cake. But there's frosting on it.
As Francis points out, the output from the Keystone XL pipeline would deprive Venezuela, one of Putin's staunchest allies, of its American market. Venezuelan oil wouldn't progress much further into the American market than Citgo stations.
This means a lot of Venezuelan oil would instead be forced out into the global market, making it compete head-to-head with Russian oil.
That's bound to strain the relationship significantly. That would be an absolute coup for a President whose foreign policy legacy could desperately use one.
Then again, Barack Obama is also the President who went to party in Vegas while US embassies were under siege. So expecting him to be persuaded by the strategic brilliance of approving Keystone XL is far from a slam dunk.

Overall it had been a peaceful day aboard the going merry, the weather had been stable since the early hours of the morning and the wooden deck of the ship was masked in the glow of the warm summer sun. You never would have guessed that it would very soon become winter but then again, the crew where heading along the grand line, a place where anything is possible and that which is possible becomes impossible. Nami had explained that the calm weather was due to the fast approach of a summer island and since the conditions where stable, she had set a straight course for said island and snuck off to her room for a late afternoon nap. Shortly after, Vivi had too headed off to the girl's room for the same reason, silently agreeing that a nap did sound good, besides, Zoro had been snoring for the majority of the day in his usual place upon deck. Chopper watched in amazement as the self proclaimed 'Captain' Usopp spun webs of lies into his 'marvellous' (and obviously false) stories in front of the tangerine orchard. The reindeer didn't question Usopp's stories, he just loved to hear the humour the sniper threw in with them.
Luffy sat on merry's head, cross legged and apparently bored since he found himself yawning and staring out to sea in a daze, waiting for the next island to appear on the horizon. All he wanted to do was be the first to spot the stupid island, was that too much to ask? His stomach grumbled and the teen blinked before placing his hands on his middle and complaining about how hungry he was to himself. Deciding that Zoro wouldn't wake up and talk to him about 'stuff' anytime soon, he climbed onto the deck and headed for the kitchen. He liked it when Zoro would explain things to him or just make general conversation, he always found that it made his tummy flutter in a nice sensation, yet he didn't know why.
And then there was the chef. Sanji found himself washing dishes in the kitchen in masses, damn their captain could put away food! Sanji sighed, if he had thought to do so sooner, he would have ordered the 'moss head' to help him
.But then again, its not like he wanted to endure the awkward silence that would linger between the two when they weren't fighting. Besides, he had hatched a plan that involved that dumbass and having him help in the kitchen would ruin the whole thing. 'I can't believe I'm doing this for him
stupid shitty swordsman.' As the blonde dried the last plate with the towel and went to put it away back in its correct cupboard, the door swung open, hitting the wall violently as the captain ran full pelt into the kitchen.
"SANJI! FOOD!" He yelled. This, of course, was not what the poor chef was expecting and the startled teen almost threw the plate in the air out of complete shock. Regaining himself, he quickly put the plate away and with an annoyed expression, bought his leg up to Luffy's head before making contact and kicking the younger crewmate into the nearest wall.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!?!" Sanji gritted his teeth, the rubber brained idiot had just made at least 30 plates barren.
Luffy pulled himself up from the ground and dusted himself down, a frown framing his face. "OWCH! I was hungry, I was gonna' ask you to cook me some meat." The poor guy couldn't grasp why his ship's chef wouldn't help him out.
"You just ate. No." The chef simply stated as he fiddled around in his pocket for his cigarettes, already finding himself annoyed with his current situation. Those 'cancer sticks' as Zoro once called them where the only things keeping him calm
.and to some extent sane. The raven haired teen pulled his face into a pout.
"But I'm hungry~" He wined. Sanji took a drag of his cigarette whilst Luffy continued to explain that he needed more food due to him being made out of rubber, which Sanji already knew and really couldn't have cared less about at that time, he just wanted to rest. Being up all night on watch in the crows nest, bored as hell, with no company wasn't how anyone let alone Sanji would have wanted to spend their night. He exhaled.
..GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!" Luffy pouted and frowned as he slumped over and began to take his leave.
"Fine, I'm goin' I'm goin'
." He began mumbling under his breath. Sanji caught ear of some of it.
"What was that?" He yelled out the door.
"Nothing~" Luffy called back in a happy tone before returning to his mumbling when he knew the blonde couldn't hear.
Luffy plonked himself on the decking next to his first mate who, it appeared, was still sleeping. Luffy thought about poking Zoro in the side to wake him up but erased the thought when he remembered what had happened when Usopp had last tried that. The sniper had almost lost half of his nose to the Wado Ichimonji that day. Anyone who didn't personally know Zoro would have been traumatised by the whole situation. Instead Luffy just lay next to him, deciding to wait until he woke up to talk to him. He didn't understand why but there was a connection between the two of them that the captain had never shared with any other member of his crew. Luffy's heart felt like it would beat out of his chest whenever he got close to his friend and he would often find Zoro trying to persuade people to his captain's way of thinking even when it wasn't one of his 'best' ideas. Not to mention, they never felt the awkward silence two people would normally find when alone together. The raven haired boy's cheeks felt warm all of a sudden as he thought of the two of them together.
There was a calming silence between the two of them with the quiet chatter of Usopp and Chopper somewhere above them added too. The peace wasn't meant to last, Luffy's stomach decided that it was being ignored far too long for its liking and let out a low, loud growl of displeasure. Luffy grasped at his middle, hoping to shut the noise up before it woke his sleeping friend up. However to Luffy's embarrassment, the swordsman's eyes shot open and he sat up in place, thumb and fore-finger already on his closest katana. Seeing that there was no threat, Zoro released his sword and rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh, its just you Luffy, thought we where bein' attacked for a minute there." He smiled.
"Zoroooo~" Luffy tackle hugged the older teen and pinned him to the ground so that Luffy was holding Zoro's arms in a tight restraint. Their faces where almost touching at this point.
"What the
!" The swordsman resisted the blush that threatened to stain his cheeks in an annoying pink colour. Though he would never admit it, he felt the same bond as Luffy did between them.
"Luffy get off!"
"Wait! Zoro, you gotta hear me out. Sanji won't let me eat meat!"
.and this concerns me because?" He raised an eyebrow and pretended to sound annoyed with his captain.
The reply he got was Luffy's stomach growling again, loudly at the mention of the word 'meat.'
As the their faces where so close, Zoro could see the light colour that had dusted the captain's cheeks, to which the older teen began laughing. Luffy turned a darker shade of red. What was going on, it wasn't like him to get embarrassed over such minor things? It had to be because he was with Zoro!
"Hey! Don't laugh at me." He folded his arms across his chest, therefore unpinning Zoro and allowing him to sit up.
"Its funny, now I know what woke me up at least, I
.." He paused mid sentence.
..Now Zoro couldn't hide the faint blush he had on his face because now Luffy was sat on his lap. If only he could admit to himself how cute the seventeen year old looked like that.
Luffy's heart started doing that awkward 'rapidly beating thing again.' Neither boy said anything. Neither one moved. In fact, Zoro saw this as an opportunity to wrap his arms around the captain and pull him in for an unexpected hug.
"Z-Zoro W- mfhhhh." Luffy was cut off as the older teen's hand moved against his mouth.
"We'll sneak into the kitchen later, its no big deal. But we have to wait 'till the shitty cook leaves." Zoro stated calmly, releasing his hand from Luffy's mouth and enjoying the embrace. He half expected Luffy to start complaining that he was hungry again. To the swordsman's shock, Luffy just nestled further into Zoro's muscular chest and he smirked to himself. This kind of embrace was new to Luffy, his heart was beating faster and he could hear the thump of Zoro's going at the same speed behind his head. This was a nice feeling. Choosing to ignore his stomach's protests, Luffy settled himself comfortably in Zoro's arms as the beating of the swordsman's heart began lulling him to sleep. Zoro rested his chin atop of Luffy's head and with a smile, he too fell back into his sleep.
A little while after he had finished cleaning the kitchen, Sanji happened to come across his two crew mates asleep in an entwined hug. Smirking lightly, he took a drag of his cigarette and turned to stare out over the railings at the sea in thought. 'Moss head
.You owe me for this' The chef thought to himself laughing lightly so as not to wake the sleeping duo.

This new single is entitled "Back 2 Basics" taken from the critically acclaimed release "Configa Presents: Calm Before The Storm" , this track produced by Configa and featuring the vocal talents of John Graham. The track expresses an observation on the state of the game today, representing for true hip hop in the face of "appealing lies" and "avatars".
Configa provides the perfect backdrop, with a beat that takes us back to the days of boomboxes and sneakers without laces, no frills or gimmicks employed here, just a dope break beat based head nodder that fits the song title perfectly. The video, shot and edited by Nick Light, takes us on a quick fire journey around the Mecca of hip hop, New York, including stopping by The Bronx and DJ Kool Herc's old residence. From audio to imagery this track screams REAL hip hop, organically produced and expertly delivered in an age of plastic nonsense.

Research In Motion Renames BlackBerry Widgets, Open Sources the Project
Widgets is now WebWorks as RIM makes steps toward application platform for Torch and Playbook.
Research In Motion announced that its web-based development platform BlackBerry Widgets is getting a name change and moving to open source. BlackBerry Widgets is now BlackBerry WebWorks. Like Widgets, WebWorks uses BlackBerry Web App Packager, allowing developers to create rich Web apps with HTML5, CSS, XML and other languages.
This announcement follows RIM's announcement of the PlayBook, a feature-rich tablet that supports OpenGL, Flash 10.1 and POSIX. Like the BlackBerry Torch, the Playbook features a Webkit browser, which supports HTML5, CSS, and other rich features.
If RIM opts for Web app-based product, the move is a logical one. Unlike other devices such as the first-generation iPhone, which began its life focusing on Web apps, BlackBerry devices use BlackBerry Internet Service to compress and encrypt outgoing information and decrypts incoming information as it arrives to the phone, adding an additional level of security.
While that's speculation, what is for certain is that WebWorks is available at gihub right now.

Pro-abortion politicians will often say to us, "Abortion is just one of many issues; I embrace a consistent ethic of life." Our response? The foundation of a house is only one of many parts of the house, but it is essential in order to build the other parts. That is why the Catholic bishops teach that the right to life is the foundation of all human rights issues, and that our priority has to be fighting abortion.
That is also why the Pope has declared that pleas that politicians make on behalf of human rights are false and illusory if they do not stand up for the right to life.
The fact is that nothing takes more human life than abortion — no crime, disease, natural disaster, war, or act of terrorism.

Let's change how we ride bicycles
Bicycle. Could the right side be the wrong side? I always thought that riding a bike, the wrong way, facing traffic was safer; as you are always aware of the oncoming traffic, and can see whether the driver actually notices you. You can pull aside if you think the driver is not seeing you, driving erratically, driving under the influence or may be coming too close for comfort.
It's very difficult, when you are on the right side, moving with the flow of traffic to see a vehicle approaching from the rear; and you can't always look back to see if the driver is seeing you, as you have to keep your eyes on the road to avoid potholes, rocks or other obstacles that may be in your path.
Riding on the wrong side, with pedestrians, could have its problems too; however, a simple bicycle bell, like the ones used in Holland, will resolve that issue.
I trust that there are really good reasons as to why we ride with traffic, however, I would prefer to cautiously ride along with the pedestrians rather than be hit from the back by a vehicle.
If changing the law to ride on the wrong side could be right, by saving lives, then why not? After all, isn't biking sort of pedestrial anyway?
Raymond Kawamata
