A Florida abortion bill that would require all women seeking a first-trimester abortion to have an ultrasound first has failed to pass the state's senate.
After a heated debate, the votes were equally divided, 20-20, causing the measure to fail under state law, the Palm Beach Post reports
The measure also splintered state Republicans. Seven GOP members voted against their party's bill.
Florida's top senate leader fought for the ultrasound bill as a final piece of legislation before ending his 28-year state political career this Friday.
"I'm pro-life, so I want to see as many people think as long as they can about it before having (an abortion)," Majority Leader Dan Webster said. "I've had six kids. Those ultrasounds are awesome. They impacted me, they impacted my wife."
All but one of the state's nine female senators denied the bill. Abortion rights groups also praised the Florida senate for not passing the bill, known as SB2400.
Under the legislation, doctors would have been required to offer and explain an ultrasound to women seeking an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy.
In Florida, ultrasounds are required for abortions in the second and third trimesters, but 90 percent of abortions are done in the first.
Opposing Views
The bill stated that women could decline seeing the image of their baby, but they'd still have to get the ultrasound.
Opponents said that was an unecessary expense. Ultrasounds cost anywhere from $100-200.
"If you are looking at biblical passages or morality to support this, remember: The Bible does mention the poor," Democrat Dave Aronberg argued.
Physicians would not have had to offer the ultrasound to victims of rape, incest, domestic violence or human trafficking, or those getting an abortion for medical reasons.
Women who fit those exceptions, however, would have been required to prove their situation.
Supporters say most clinics already conduct ultrasounds before abortions to determine fetus age, and the bill would not be much of an inconvenience.

Pakistan Dismisses Reports of Missing Jet in Its Territory
By Snehesh Alex Philip | PTI - ISLAMABAD
Published: 15th March 2014 11:52 PM
Last Updated: 15th March 2014 11:56 PM
Pakistan's top aviation official today dismissed suggestions that the missing Malaysian airliner with 239 people on board could have potentially reached as far as this country.
"It's wrong, plane never came towards Pakistan," Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Aviation Shujaat Azeem said in response to some media reports that suggested that the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 could have reached as far as Pakistan.
"Pakistan's civil aviation radars never spotted this jet," he was quoted as saying by Dawn.
Azeem said the plane disappeared far away from Pakistani air space and was not visible on its radars, "so how it could be hidden somewhere in Pakistan."
Azeem said his division was on alert and following all developments related to the incident.
"At present there are 95 ships of various countries in the Indian Ocean on search mission," Azeem said.
"No one among those who are on search mission has contacted us to seek information on this tragedy," he told the daily. The advisor said that civil aviation would provide full cooperation when sought from Pakistan.
He said Pakistan's national carrier has sent a message to Malaysia airlines expressing sympathies with the relatives of those who have gone missing.
Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak today said communications aboard the missing jet were switched off and its course deliberately changed by someone on board before the aircraft disappeared a week ago. But the premier stopped short of saying the plane had been hijacked.

Getting noticed
August 1, 2012 - Mike McLain
BEREA -- Colt McCoy is being used as a backup quarterback in training camp, but he had a day worthy of a starter Wednesday.
McCoy, who appears destined to sit the bench while rookie Brandon Weeden starts, completed a pair of touchdown passes in 7-on-7 drills in the red zone. One was to receiver Bert Reed and the other was to tight end Jordan Cameron.
McCoy's best throw might have been to Joshua Cribbs, who broke open on a post route in 11-on-11.
Coach Pat Shurmur said that McCoy looks better this year than he did last year, when he entered camp as the unchallenged starter.
"Colt's doing great," Shurmur said. "I think he's continuing to improve. I see him doing some things in this camp that he didn't do a year ago. He's getting more comfortable within our system."
Weeden has his moments, also completing two touchdown passes in 7-on-7 work. Weeden, however, also had several errant throws. He should have been intercepted by linebacker Chris Gocong on a 7-on-7 red-zone play. Later in 11-on-11 Weeden threw behind a wide-open Greg Little on a deep route along the sideline.
On the injury front defensive end Frostee Rucker missed practice with an undisclosed injury. Shurmur said the injury is minor and that Rucker will be back on the practice field soon.
Cameron had a big day on offense. With Evan Moore sidelined with an injury suffered during the offseason, Cameron could be moving ahead of Moore on the depth chart.

Eggs in peppers
Here's another egg creation I came up with. When I saw the yellow, red and orange bell peppers at the grocery store I thought the color scheme was perfect for autumn.
I decided to make an egg dish, thinking this would look pretty for a brunch. Since bell peppers are hollow inside, you can break an egg into much like with egg in bread rolls I made.
This came out really pretty to look at. However, I did have some problems cooking them. I didn't account for the water of the bell peppers that seeped out as they were cooking. It made the eggs wet and so the egg whites had a hard time cooking. In addition, I wanted the egg yolk to be centered in the middle but this was really hard and it kept sliding to the edge of the bell pepper.
When making this dish, I chose only to use half of each bell pepper. I didn't use the half that contained the stem. I'm sure you could use both halves, but I didn't want anyone stuck with the stem bottom and removing the stem would create a hole in the pepper.
My brothers thought this tasted a little bland, with the bell pepper overpowering in taste. I still like the basic idea but next time I'll try to spice it up with some sort of seasoning. I still like the colorfulness of the dish.
Eggs in Bell Peppers
Yield: 6 bell pepper eggs
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
6 bell peppers in various colors
6 eggs
Salt and pepper for seasoning
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Cut peppers in half. Remove the seeds. Place the half without stem on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Break egg into each pepper. Sprinkle top with pepper and salt.
3. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until eggs reached desired doneness.

Really creative idea! I love eggs! Maybe add some cheese next time to add more flavor?
Why don't you try roasting the peppers first to get rid of excess moisture and then putting the filled peppers in a muffin pan so the egg yolks stay centered. Hope that helps!
Hi Kirby, I like the idea of "eggs in peppers" also. How about blending the eggs with onion, jalapeno, and a bit of jack for a strata effect?
Hi Kirbie,
I've seen this idea before. It was on NPR & they called it BBQing an egg. It's about half way down the page they may help the giving someone the top, it's not as pretty as yours but I still think it's a good way.
I hope you enjoy.
I made this before I saw your post. I basically used the whole ref and green peppers cut the top off and cut out the stem. Then I roasted the peppers a bit while the oven was preheating. I used a whole egg plus extra white, sundried tomatoes, herbs, salt, pepper and small diced pieces of feta. I kind of pushed them into the whites. Then I put it in the oven and put the pepper top on and cooked like 25 mins. They came out perfect. The yolks were pretty centered. I slightly overcopked them though so the yolk was slightly hard but I was trying to make sure the white was done. They were awesome though and so flavorful. I want to make them again soon.
These eggs look so colorful and awesome. I think you can try to grill (and hollow out) a Portobello mushroom or heirloom tomato, and bake an egg in that? I'd add crème fraiche at the bottom, chives on top.
I have 2 dozen small quail eggs currently in the fridge…maybe I'll try baking those eggs inside cherry tomatoes for my ladies' brunch this Sunday Thanks for the inspiration and great food photos!
I tried making beaten eggs mixed with finely chopped cabbage inside peppers but had the same problem you did with the extra moisture. If I try again I will make a few knife slits in the bottom of the cups to allow the moisture to escape. It should be easier using beaten eggs than what you did but yours look prettier.

Cowboys fan beaten unconscious by Raiders fans after Thanksgiving game in Arlington
A Cowboys fan was beaten by a group of four Oakland Raiders fans after Dallas' win in Arlington on Thursday, police said.
The assault happened shortly after the game and left the man unconscious on a sidewalk at Cowboys Way and AT&T Way, according to authorities.
The man, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital by ambulance with injuries that were not life-threatening, police spokeswoman Tiara Richard said.
No arrests have been made, and a detailed description of the silver-and-black-clad suspects was not available.

Police said a motive for the crime won't be clear until investigators learn more from the victim.

The Pitfalls of TPLF and EPLF leadership: A Retrospective Analysis
By Zerihun Abebe
When they demolished the Derg-regime in the early 1990s, through a collation of ethnic-based movements, the TPLF (Tigray Liberation Front) and EPLF (Eritrean Liberation Front) leaders had the impetuous dream of establishing peaceful and friendly countries through two short and long term plans. The short term plan was driven by the impulse to let Eritrea secede from Ethiopia while trying to make it legitimate in any way possible. This was expressed through a) the characterisation of Eritrean question as colonialism against the existing academic consensus, and b) the immediate recognition of the Eritrean independence despite the fact that TPLF was not an elected or legitimate Ethiopian government at the time.
The long term but furtive plan was the obstinate desire to control, for some years to come, state power in Ethiopia and Eritrea using Ethnicity and nationalism as legitimating ideologies. Eritreans felling into the clutches of the EPLF can only be explained by the promotion of a nation-state style nationalist ideology by the EPLF in which ordinary Eritreans are told how they are different if not unique from other peoples in the horn, especially from their former co-citizens, Ethiopians. TPLF in its turn legitimised its state control in Ethiopia by presenting itself as champions of the so called supressed 'nation, nationalities and peoples'. It institutionalised what many commentators characterise as pseudo-federal state system by promoting ethno-nationalism through a process of encadrement in which elites of the various ethnic groups in the country (which are now nation, nationalities and peoples) are accorded access to state power and resources in as much as they are not subversive to the monopoly of power by ruling elites.
To the dismay of some of the leaders as well as the majority ardent followers of the two parties, after almost 20 years of Eritrean independency and control of state power in Ethiopia and Eritrea, there is still no friendly or plausible relationship between the two. There are a number of developments that demonstrates this. The bloody war that broke out in 1998-2000, despite the fact that when TPLF and EPLF came to power, they arrogated to themselves the wisdom of establishing peaceful political orders, is major evidence. Not only the war claimed the lives of many human beings from both sides but also there is still a continued and erratic military raid and other incidents that show no avail.
For a neutral and critical observer the leadership of the two parties avoid accountability by pointing finger on each other. The EPLF-led Eritrean leaders blame their TPLF-led Ethiopian counterparts for the latter failed to enforce the Algiers Agreement and the Boundary Commission ruling. The Ethiopian leaders in their part refused to allow this insisting that there should be further talks before any enforcement of the ruling of the Commission. Such dispute doesn't deal with the very basis of the conflict in the first place. It rather eschews those structural questions that should have been dealt, from the very outset, by responsible and rational political leaders who have a vision of democracy and rule of law rather than controlling and justifying their control of state power.
One shouldn't therefore wonder why after a long history of ethnic-based resistance movement and coalition, the TPLF and EPLF "liberators" failed to create a lasting peace and stability in the region? The real aim was in fact controlling state power and achieving their eccentric objectives. This objective had varied nature that could be personal and collective appealing to individual and group motives. In the mean time a number of unforeseen circumstances had in fact emerged and today's situation needs a more wide analytical framework than stipulated here. Nevertheless, there is ample and clear indication that both TPLF and EPLF leadership had only pursued their respective interest against what is common to all Ethiopians or both Ethiopians and Eritreans.
Referring to the Eritrean situation, a recent BBC statement states that "The unresolved border issue compounds other pressing problems. These include Eritrea's inability to provide enough food; two thirds of the population receives food aid. Moreover, economic progress is hampered by the proportion of Eritreans who are in the army rather than the workforce." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13349078. Such a statement clearly implies that the very fundamental question is whether Eritrea is a viable state to feed its citizens without any good and friendly political and economic relations with its immediate neighbour, Ethiopia.
On the other hand the TPLF-led Ethiopian government now seems to have the firm stand that the only solution regarding Eritrea is negotiations which I suspect set to redefine any lingering issues and possible nature of future political and economic relationship between the two. In its weekly publication A Week in the Horn, the Ministry of Ethiopian Foreign Affairs publish a briefing entitled "Talking, not shooting is the only choice for Eritrea" seems to imply this position by noting that "the Ethiopian Government still upholds its determination that the problems between Eritrea and Ethiopia can only be resolved through negotiations and dialogue". http://www.mfa.gov.et/Press_Section/Week_Horn_Africa_Mar_16_2012.htm#3
Whether the two leaderships will come to a table and began to sort out and discuss their issues to reach a rational and legal consensus regarding not only the border case, but also other vital matters that have greater implications to the lives of ordinary Ethiopians and Eritreans is not clear, at least to the near future. However, we now know for sure that the negotiation and dialogue, the TPLF-led EPRDF is now insisting should have been desired and pursued 20 years ago in good time and condition. Rather than rushing into the business of facilitating Eritrean independence and the control of state power, at least the TPLF-leadership, who claimed a self-proclaimed moral and legal authority of "liberating Ethiopian peoples", could have addressed the following questions with EPLF.
First, was Hailsaelassie's annexation of Eritrea in 1962 and the subsequent union with Ethiopia colonialism? What is the consensus or suggested points regarding this by the existing majority academics? Second, how can we legally and politically maintain the interest of the two peoples, in situation of session, in a way that doesn't favour one at the expense of the other? Third, how can we incorporate the voices of the two peoples in such processes? Fourth, does EPRDF have a legitimacy of power to facilitate and officially recognise an independent Eritrea? Howe does that relate to the question of Ethiopian sovereignty? Neither TPLF nor EPLF had rational and scientifically supported explanations for such questions.
But we now know for sure that when they organised themselves based on ethnic or nationalist ideology and finally were able to succeed (because of in fact different factors) in removing the Derg-regime in the early 1990s, the TPLF and EPLF-leadership either didn't have the competence or the will to consider the ramification of their agenda and practice on the various peoples of the region. In another language, had the elites of the two parties were visionary, competent, responsible and transparent, they could have raised and discussed these issues with the respective stake holders, from the very outset, and therefore possibly avoided the war and other un-desirable current situations. In fact we could have seen a different reality than what we are witnessing now. Generally, what we are witnessing now between Eritrea and Ethiopia is the unforeseen and embarrassing pitfalls of the elites of TPLF and EPLF leadership.

The dogs bark & the camel carries on his journey.
Thanks for your respective analysis but you failed to mention how EPLF failed vision from the beggining to the end such us fake nationalizim, endless lies,missleading the world based on assumtion.
I think these two countries should be proposed to be united through public referendum of both countries' peoples, just peacefully.If they are growing this time, they would have been growing more if they were united or if they they suffer to grow, they would have been less to suffer if they were one. They are heart and lungs, both important to keep the body alive. Just like the West and East Germany.
Thank you nazret.com.
This is a very good analysis and adds upto the general understanding that weyane and shabiya are the enemy of the people in that region.
TPLF, from the very start had no any pro-ethiopian agenda. It is a mafiya group- We neeed to fight it.
The last two weeks or so, we read of unexpected developments in the political reality concerning Ethiopia and Eritrea. The news was filled with the sudden incursion into Eritrea by Ethiopian armed forces and the look warm response by shabia, Qatari officials roaming Addis with the aim to restore diplomatic ties, the news that Qatar is to own Assab and then rent it to Ethiopia, and the even vague rumor that an underground discussion is taking place between Ethiopia and Eritrea for better relations.
The ordinary observer finds it difficult to understand the weird nature of the rapprochement between the two countries. While one of them is taking punitive military measures against the other, thus humiliating it and showing its strong muscles, we are told that Ethiopia and Eritrea are discussing with the help of Israel and Qatar to improve their relations. Is it possible that the mercurial and narcissist dictator IA will ever accept to come to the negotiating table under the impression that he is the weaker of the two parts? One might also ask why not, if he can get the most out of the negotiations and this becomes a face saving move for him and he can say to his people that finally he has won Badme for Eritrea. IA is getting old, weak and he is losing his luster, both within and outside Eritrea. The myth of being a special and invincible people has deflated beyond repair for the small nation of 4m, and IA is ready to put up with less achievements. He is ready to take whatever he gets, as long as the other party is ready to give.
Qatar has gained nothing by befriending Eritrea. Most Gulf States including Saudi Arabia, Emeretes and others are investing in Ethiopia for their food security and other businesses, acknowledging the role Ethiopia would be playing in the region in the future. Qatari dollars can be invested in Ethiopia to the advantage of both countries. A bottomless pit like the economy of Eritrea is not sustainable for long, and the government of Qatar knows by now that it has made the wrong choice by siding Eritrea against Ethiopia. Even then, Qatar is not abandoning IA completely. In fact, it is working on behalf of IA, and Ethiopians should be aware of this.
The rumor that Qatar would rent the port of Assab from Eritrea and Ethiopia in turn from Qatar is the most weird and childish of all. I really do not understand what they are trying to say by this. MZ cannot cheat the people of Ethiopia in general and the people of Tigray in particular, as if they are children, by saying that he has gained a seaport for Ethiopia, while at the same time he hands over Badme and its environs and he is ready to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for port services, money that will end up in IA's and shabia's pockets. This would be manna from the sky for IA and of course, another big betrayal for MZ, the maitre in selling Ethiopia's interest to its enemies. This agreement would save IA and his shabia group from collapse and it would lengthen the plight of the people of Eritrea, and IA would simply continue to plot against Ethiopia as always. Ethiopians should be very naïve if they ever expect love from IA and shabia, the deadly enemies of the people of Eritrea, and of course, that of Ethiopia.
Trusting MZ on issues concerning Ethiopia and Eritrea is a Faustian deal, which will always be to the determent of Ethiopia, and Ethiopians should always know this fact. The people of Tigray should listen to the heartbeat of the people of Badme and its environs. If they feel and want to be Ethiopians, it is their God-given right, and it should be respected. MZ and his group never cared about the people of the region during the Alger's agreement, and that was the main reason why they presented lame and defunct colonial maps and agreements to the Ethio-Eritrean boarder committee. Therefore, Ethiopians should be very vigilant about things that are going to unfold in the immediate future. If there is going to be any rapprochement between Ethiopia and Eritrea, it should not be under an IA/shabia government, but under a different government that understands the past true history and the future destiny of these peoples of the horn.
Mr. Zerihun
"the TPLF-led EPRDF" hahaha what do not you simply say EPRDF instead? tihanam..
There is absolutely no doubt about the conclusion you made.
Dear Zerihun,
Thank you for such critical and balanced analysis. Your argument is free of subjective feeling or biased attitude towards one or another group. I apreciate your academic integrity.
I agree with you that When they came to power weyane and shabiya had their own plan that didn't center the interest of the ethiopian people.
If in fact they had good intention to the ethiopian people, the TPLF leaders would have consulted Ethiopian people, and they wouldn't side with a group that aim to separate. They wouldn't also define eritrean annexation as colonialism. Who controlled most buisness and high quality jobs in ethiopia during hailselassie and derg regime…not the Oromos, not the welayitas, not the ethiopian somalians….it was the Eritreans and other major groups like Amara and tigre to some extent GUrage…how on earth one say there was colonialism by ethiopia in eritrea??? But as you said it was a strategy to control state power.
Pls share us ur thought frequaltly
Wither they admit it or not it is another issue, but Eritrea viability without one way or the other being parasitically connected to a colonizer or sort has disproved..Yet there are still Eritreans who genuinely feel and brag how Ethiopians can not live without Eritrea because we keep refreshing their already exaggerated sense of self importance by giving them the attention they don't really deserve.
The fact of the matter is, Eritrea is the one that can not sustain it's 5 million people that it's people are dodging shoot to kill policy and flocking to ethiopia by their thousands. yet not a single Ethiopian despite the fact that they are free to leave their country contemplate immigrating to the Godforsaken Eritrea. Even Eritreans Diasporas don't seem to see their much cherished Eritrea worthwhile to visit that they have made a country they have once ridiculed(Ethiopia)their choice of destination(although some with sinister agenda). on the contrary I have never come across a single Ethiopian who contemplates to even visit Eritrea except those of us with some family connection, and it has given us a chance to see the real truth about "free and independent" Eritrea. From my recent visit alone I have have come to the conclusion that Eritrea's entire existence as a country (be it psychologically or materially)connected to Ethiopia. Almost all goods available in Eritrea is smuggled from Ethiopia (hope you have heard of the recent sugar crises in Addis) you will find it in Asmara for 20 times the price. I remember being served a Meta beer with a label taken off in a restaurant and I am 100% sure of how one of my favorite beers tastes..plus where else other than ethiopia can Eritrea smuggle beer, bear in mind all Eritrea's neighbors except Ethiopia are Islamic countries that don't produce alcohol and it has been a while since Eritrea was forced to shut almost all it's few Italian leftover factories because of the reality of economics which I am sure they didn't expect would happen obviously because the whole independence project was calculated based on looting Ethiopia..In fact regardless of the official line (border dispute) it is because of the shattered dream that Eritreans have chosen to remain on war footing as that would give them the excuse for not proving all the pr-independence bravado. And they are desperate to reverse the whole situation by all means necessary even if that means risking their existance as a country..After all, they have by now realized it is may not be worth having Eritrea that can not loot Ethiopia. hence penetrating Ethiopia became their obsession and they have lost focus of anything else including their size. Even if tomorrow Eritreans decide to make peace with Ethiopia I am 100% certain that it will only be a tactical move and they will never rest until they achieve their ultimate goal, regardless of wither they will achieve it or not..
So my dear Ethiopians, let's not hope against hope to change a mind that has been damaged beyond repair and instead focus on how to protect Ethiopia's national interest if we stop feeling as though we owe Eritreans some thing..we don't owe them any thing, if anything it is them who owe us something for giving them time after the departure of their colonial master to regroup against us and bleed us for 30 years. Look at it this way, how would 5 million pain in the ass Eritreans be more important to us that 1 million decent Dijiboutians or Kenyans? Shouldn't we be talking more about Djiboutians or kenyans with whom we have a stake rather than the good for nothing ex-askaris? one might argue that we were once "one" people but does that legitimize a friendship that favors Eritreans? One fact Ethiopians should always remember the fact that there has been a huge imbalance between the propaganda we grew up hearing because we wanted unity and the propaganda they grew up hearing because they wanted hate and separation, hence you will never know how deep rooted their hatred for ethiopia is unless you go close to them..In fact it is only then you might end up appreciating Woyanees decision to let go Eritrea at any cost despite the fact that they have made a lot of blunders in the process. perhaps it is about time we give them credit for at least proving how irrelevant Eritrea is and what Ethiopia can do without Eritrea.
Wake up DERG remnant. Eritrea is a sovereign nation. International law must be respected and weyane troops must vacate all Eritrean territory. Dialogue? About what exactly?
I hate when writers start their article/s with a mistake for example "When they demolished the Derg-regime in the early 1990s, through a collation of ethnic-based movements, the TPLF (Tigray Liberation Front) and EPLF (Eritrean Liberation Front)"
For TPLF it's true but for EPLF it's not ethnic based party. EPLF stands for Eritrean People Liberation Front. Artera has many tribes lead by the Hamassiens.
Both TPLF and EPLF do not represent ethiopia or eritrea.
But they both control power in the two countries.
Who control Military in ethiopia? TPLF. Who control federal political power? TPLf.Who control government institutions (federal ye mengist meseriya betoch) TPLF.
Hence what we have is TPLF-led EPRDF.
Very informative, straightforward, factual analysis by yet another intellectual. Thanks for that Mr Abebe.
One of the few policies of Zenawi & Co that I truly support, admire is the "No war, No peace" policy with Artera. The next one has got to be, removing those poisonous Arterans that we Ethiopians trusted, considered as part Ethiopian society who changed overnight like a Cameleon & started sounding their noisy drums everywhere for their so called "independence". Some of our friends even proudly bragged about, told us how their parents were channelling millions of birr from their countless businesses within Ethiopia for Shabiya, bleeding Ethiopia for decades!
Though that was the smartest move from Zenawi & Co, it is such a shame to see the new breeds of these poisonous Arterans flooding back mama Ethiopia in the name of REFUGEES, foreign investors with foreign passports. I know countless Arterans who'd relocated from USA, EU, Canada to Ethiopia, even business men from Assmara who escaped Artera, now doing business in Ethiopia, keeping a low profile. Though I admire the efforts of Zenawi & Co to make Artera as insignificant, useless that it really is, one, they should watch out for any Arteran coming in & out of Ethiopia with foreign passports, restrict their investments, and two, Bring Assab port back. This is not about Assab's insignificance to Ethiopia or anything else. It is a matter of principle. Just accept that there was a massive ERROR on Zenawi & Co's part when signing away Asseb Port. Arteha had NO legitimate, historical, scientific or otherwise claim on Assab. This is Ethiopia had full control, was co using, fully managing the port until the 98 war. Any legitimate Ethiopian government would not let Artera keep Ethiopia's port and watch them sell it to Qarar then lease it back to Ethiopia.
@ Daniel
Neither the barking dogs nor the camels are to be found in today's Aretera. All are extinct because of food shortages and overconsumption of salty water. You have been stagnant for the past 20 years, the only journey you're keeping is to a place called planet NOWHERE. Get of you high horse.
@ Dave & Omo great comments. Different analysis, excellent points!
It is a very good analysis of both TPlf and EPLF. The two "gang leaders" of their respective "Shiftas associations" are bent on the idea of bestowing their own family members in addition to fattening their accounts.
It is indeed high time to get a "genuine people's party" with a united effort and dismantle these two "Thug groupes" and have a free Ethiopia.
Death to Terorist group - TPLF &EPLF.
I like what you wrote. How so true!!!
at the end of ut comment you said…
"In fact it is only then you might end up appreciating Woyanees decision to let go Eritrea at any cost despite the fact that they have made a lot of blunders in the process. perhaps it is about time we give them credit for at least proving how irrelevant Eritrea is and what Ethiopia can do without Eritrea."
But let me ask you….are you saying Eritrea is no more a problem to Ethiopia? Are you implying Ethiopian insterest is now safely defnded and we are in peace?
Why weyane support anti-Isays rebel group in ethiopia? Why weyane give Eritrean opposition a tv station in ethiopia using ethiopian people's money? Why is weyane giving scholarship to eritreans for free, while our women in Arab are dying of any help? Why is weyane fighting diplomatically to be accepted by international coomunity regarding its stand on eritrea? Why are ethiopian soldiers dying in somalia because of Alshabeba supported by Eritrea? etc…Why does weyane introduce a policy for eritreans to live in ethiopia? why???
Ethio-eritrean issue is never solved…and the real issue is the dismantling of both weyane and shabiya. I am sure u r weyane.
kikiki woyanes have not choice at this time.no war no peace it is not working at this point.woyanes thinking,Eritrea economy to collapse on long term,but it is opposite now,Eritrea economy is growing even more,so it is good choice to go qatar.qatar can help woyanes problem with Eritrea.thanks for the analyses,you write the facts on the ground while woyanes supporters bark for nothing. and also Eritrea is easy target for Ethiopia said another analysis,this is analyses fooling him self,he don'know the facts on the ground.
long live Eritrea
"First, was Hailsaelassie's annexation of Eritrea in 1962 and the subsequent union with Ethiopia colonialism? What is the consensus or suggested points regarding this by the existing majority academics?"
The answer is Eritrean annexation of eritrea and latter union with Ethiopia is not colonialism, by any standard.
"Second, how can we legally and politically maintain the interest of the two peoples, in situation of session, in a way that doesn't favour one at the expense of the other?"
Eritreas dream was to make eritrea african singapore, using ethiopian resourse. Weyane collborated with shabiya on this plan of "eritrea ye gil ethiopia ye gara" and when it reached finnaly a point where the ethiopian ppl cannot sit and see such policy, the work broke out.
"Third, how can we incorporate the voices of the two peoples in such processes?"
weyane and many of its-suporters and cadre never care if ethiopian ppl should have a say.
"Fourth, does EPRDF have a legitimacy of power to facilitate and officially recognise an independent Eritrea? Howe does that relate to the question of Ethiopian sovereignty?"
The TPLF has no legetimate state power to facilitate eritrean independe. At least they couldn't play catalyst role.What TPLF leadres did is Treason.
…there is one commen factor between TPLF of Ethiopia and EPLF of Eritrea , though they are structuraly and characteristicaly far apart like two uncoexisting entities ,… THEY BOTH FOUGHT THE DERG. But , it is very absurd to put TPLF on the same scale with a mafia copy like EPLF / PFDJ unless you have a hidden…
Question to Mr.Zerihun
Why should Ethiopia must vote on Eritrean refurendum, on your suggetion? Just curious on your mental state, do you think people need affirmation from your family that you are Zerihun, or can you speak for yourself.
Unity is power ! and good when it garantees the wellfare of each and every citizen equally.
You said TPLF if they were legally recognised government back then. However, they are now but, was king Menlik the legall king in the Tigre's empire to give out Eritrea as a sovergin nation to the Italy? is the other angle you have to look at.
Why you try to analyze a century old effect.
Eritrea is a nation now, no love lost between the two, dipolomatic ties between the government should resume and people have no problems between the two crossing, working, loving, and better progress between the two nations. As peace remain for a while the two will be like Zanzibar and Tanganika.
The temptations said: It's a thin line between Love and Hate !!!
my people
peace for everyone!
Listen Shameful hula!
I would like to ask you all a question and really need a decent reply.
Imagine if someone comes to your home and ask you to sleep with your wife, would you give him a greenlight?
Thats what you are asking from Eritrea.
The writer have no any subtance. Eritrea fought for decades and it was not without any reason.
It always ask two to tango. Ethiopia knew very well that Eritrea is a borrowed child and was always acting insecure and cruel upon Eritreans.
When Hailesellasie put down Eritrean flag and replaced it with Ethiopian flag (without people's will),
Burned all Arabic and Tgrigna books and implemented Amharic teaching in Eritrean schools,
Put all students in prison and moved all factories and manufacturing firms to Ethiopia,
When hunged people in the center of the city on a broad daylight,….
Haileselassie knew very little about the deep rooted patriotism of Eritreans.
Then came Derg again same treatment even worse. The additional of Derg uncountable cruel and inhuman crimes upon Eritreans, helped us to strengthen our will and drove the wheel of our patriotism to the opposite direction means to FREE Eritrea!!!
If Amhara, Oromo or any part of Ethiopia would face what Eritrea have faced for centuries would the people tolerate the suffering?
Ethiopia always act against own interest.
You cannot slap your wife on the face day-in and day-out and expect her to love you to death
Bomb the people by poisonous napal,
Knive mother's womb so att the dead baby in her stomach hung down her knees,
Cut breast, shouting -you are not supposed to get birth of another Wombede,
Hung University Students with iron rope and throw them outside their doorsteps in front of their families-shouting "You will be a lesson to your younger brothers"?
Is this how you want us to call you and accept you as our "Brothers"?
Why not kill Amharas? Oromos? Gambelas? Welaytas?…or whoever if we really are as Ethiopians as you are?
What was the crime of an Eritrean to suffer under your UGLY leadership?
The insecurity of your leaders always drive Eritreans to act more against you.
When Haileselassie treated the young and old the way he did, the people was as asking himself "Whats wrong? What did we do?"
You may say that there was Wombede "as you guys called us though But the people inside the city knew nothing about anything.
It was Haileselassie/Derg who was fighting against his own interest, same does Meles Zenawi too
Rest assured, you will never undone what you have done to us - today or tomorrow!
99.8% said the same.
Lets have mutual respect to help us forget the past and live side by side as neighbours, before we end-up as loughing stock of the world.
"are you saying Eritrea is no more a problem to Ethiopia? Are you implying Ethiopian insterest is now safely defnded and we are in peace?"
Good question Haile,
The most straight answer I can give to your question is, It is a historically proven fact that It is much much easier to deal with a hostile Eritrea than a 'friendly' Eritrea..in other words, better to deal with an external bug than with an internal parasite.
In a more theoretical detail, If you ask any Eritrean of any back ground, educated or uneducated to describe Eritrea and Eritreanism you will be surprised by how meaningless their identity would be without the misconception and the negative sentiment they have towards Ethiopians..for example they often describe themselves as industrious and entrepreneurial society which has never been the case in comparison to any other society in recent history, not even Somalians cos Somalians also had the same colonial history with Eritreans, but obviously they are consciously or subconsciously referring to the uncolonized and mostly agrarian Ethiopians they sow after the end of their good old colonial days. True, almost all Ethiopians back then didn't have the basic skills the enslaved Eritreans had and Eritreans had the advantage and the opportunity to positively prosper within Ethiopia proper, but instead they took it for-granted and chose to bleed Ethiopia for 30 years. but the irony is they are still trying to cling to the same old sentiment despite the fact that a lot has changed and Ethiopians have today gone far beyond the bakery skill and car repair skill Eritreans used to pride themselves with..
Any ways, to come back to the point, it would be naive on the part of Ethiopians to expect people whose identity was inspired by a superficial belief to want to outshine Ethiopians to settle for a fair and mutual benefit. They will always want to prove some thing to Ethiopians at the expense of Ethiopians and there is no better example than the golden opportunity they missed prior to 1998 due to their urge to prove it soooo urgently. Otherwise there is no justification what so ever for why a country that fought 30 years for a supposed 'freedom' would prioritize being on a war footing with an excuse of it's football pitch sized land occupied…the truth is, Independent Eritrean was envisioned based on the perception they had about Ethiopians 50 years ago, but unfortunately time caught up with them by the time they have reached their destination and they are no longer dealing with people who knew them little…
what an idiot writter? you trying to be writter? may be melles writtes! why you hide the trueth? where did you put forever OLF fierce fighters that be headache to you and melles regium? Yes it is allergic to habasha to call the name,OLF,fearing desintegrated atopia,weather you said or not it is on history that OLF was the heading to overthrow Derg regium,thus why I really hate habasha(trying to hide truth about oromo/oromia.who cares we know each other,anyways you are right unless you donot do that many habshas may be going ito hang themselves!The day is not 60s that you and the likes tried to hide oromo history,at this time oromo produced many political analysist who round 10000000 times,you are Ato,but oromo scholars pro.Alemayyo Birru-internationally awarded-dr.hassein ali,and your boss that you and all your same know Jawar Mohammed…… did you known them we hate forever and keep doing such biase to make all oromo to be free of the so called atopia or what you call it?? whatever!!
A much more perfect analysis. Thank you Mr. Zerihun Abebe!!! I bet you are a P.H.D or sort,just wanting to hide your accolade.
I wish there are a few of your likes with unbiased genuine knowledge and thoughts to educate the otherwise dumb asses mainly in the acadamic camp from both country and region. The know nothing-title for less Eri/ Ethio screwed heads need to ponder on what they write as history and the hard working mass that thought them will judge eventually.
please keep writing as we are tired of readig garbage from same bloggers who have no flavor on their articles except promoting their own hard to swallow agendas.
Thank you and Thank you!!!
Bravo Dave
these two habesha midge are the cause of war in the horn, causing war, famine, hatred & evil. they couldn't even spare the country that hosted them. turning Somalia into their own play ground. somalia has learn her lesson that habesha are wolf dressing in sheep skin.
You are very vulgar, dedeb balege.Such well minded writers do not at all lend themselves to your insanely neurotic remarks. you are nothing but dust and dirt. Your insult of neurotic proportions affirms that you are living with a badly decomposing and dead brain.Do not you think it is time for your to spend the rest of your life in a mental hospital and get quarantined until you die. Angol.
The funniest comments of the day
Omo said….
….he hands over Badme and its environs and he is ready to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for port services,…
Badme is as Eritrean as Assab. Anyone who need to use the port pay taxation. Eritrea is always abide by the International Law and noone is forced to use our port. But (the owners of Ethiopia), your colonisers pay the taxation. Saudi, China, Karturi & Co need our services when syphoning your resources, so whats up? They should ofcourse pay Eritrea for the kind services
Dave said…
Eritreans Diasporas don't seem to see their much cherished Eritrea worthwhile to visit that they have made a country they have once ridiculed(Ethiopia)their choice of destination….
Those who choose Ethiopia for their destination have identity crises or never learned from the history. Let them enjoy their new home till it lasts
Again Dave said…
Almost all goods available in Eritrea is smuggled from Ethiopia (hope you have heard of the recent sugar crises in Addis) you will find it in Asmara for 20 times the price. I remember being served a Meta beer with a label taken off in a restaurant …..
If what you say is true, the woyane thugs who sell Ethiopia to the highest bidder smuggling beer or whatelse not only to Eritrea but to Sudan and Djibouti, while you do not have enough cereals to feed your stomach. So why produce beer in the first place? One quintal wheat is about 1500 Birr today in your cursed land, you tell me the reason why?
DomaRas hula
Accuse your smugglers.
The fake princess said….
One of the few policies of Zenawi & Co that I truly support, admire is the "No war, No peace" policy with Artera. The next one has got to be, removing those poisonous Arterans that we Ethiopians trusted….
You should either support or oppose your masters Because when woyane hijacked the peaceful agreement the no-peace-no-war do not only harm Eritreans but Ethiopians as well. Look how divided you are beyond repair. He luckied to sell Ethiopia to the highest bidder singing Eritrea
The Eritreans you call "poisonous" were unfortunately forced to the harshest situation they are in just like Somalis who flood the streets of Addis. Woyane wanted to gain CASH of these refugees from the UN and opened a corridor for the young to flood to your cursed HIV infested cities, but most of all woyane knew that they would keep the market moving with their expenditure of millions of dollars per year they get from their relatives abroad
Somalis and Eritreans are the cashcow of today's Ethiopia
so Be Thankful!
Aster said…..
Eritreas dream was to make eritrea african singapore, using ethiopian resourse….
Which resources? Ethiopia who is stretching hands left and right FOR DECADES begging for donation cannot help Eritrea to bloomish.
Please Ethios, do not come back and tell us that Eritreans make fun of you. Think deeply where it went wrong for your country.
You cannot win our hearts by WAR after WAR but LOVE & RESPECT!!!
you asked the writer some stupid questions. I will discuss the two
1st) "Why should Ethiopia must vote on Eritrean refurendum, on your suggetion?"
I think he didn't ask ethiopian to do refrendum. He asked TPLF should ask what the ethiopian people say on the matter. So that if you go as u did, we know how to treat you. But becuase Meles (eritrean) is now ruling ethiopia your ppl are still benefeting from ethiopia which they reject as 'barnet' during the refrendum.
You want have that parasitic mentality of ethiopia ye gara eritrea ye gil.
That will not happen when weyane goes for good.
You also askedalso
2nd)"…was king Menlik the legall king in the Tigre's empire to give out Eritrea as a sovergin nation to the Italy? is the other angle you have to look at."
this question is confused because. we are now in a modern age Menelik type force doesn't work. America is democracy but they came by menelik style force. They subjugated red-indians. All states are made by force. They keep those land which they can control. They give up thosw which they cannot.
Now is modern age and there is international law. Meles cannot act as menelik did.
Eritreans are always paraisites to ethiopia.
Long live ethiopia!
The writer's focus is about TPLF and EPLF. Hence he don't have to speak about OLF. OLF was in fact one of the parties at that time. But its origin, nature and developemnet is different from TPLF and EPLF. TPLF and EPLF are related.
No body asks anything from Eritrea. What we ethiopians want is, let eritreans leave asalone.
Why are Eritreans coming as refugges to ethiopia?
If you Eritreans are free now why do you want to live in Ethiopia?
No ethiopian is interested to live in Eritrea.
the answer as the writers clearly put it is simply
Eritrea is not a viable state. eritrea cannot feed its people.
Shamful people and shameful leader.
I talked to an eritreaan and he told me in 2011 they, Eritreans claimed that their economy is growing by 17%.
But he himself admitted that he never think that is true. because life is diffcult for his family in asmera. In fact I myself checked if that 17% groeth is true. What I found out was that it is only a predication by the Economist and never confirmed to be true.
hence eritrea is a facke country without ethiopia.
God bless ethiopia
Why Eritreans rooming Addis? Nice question.
Ask your Master Meles why he opens the gate wide-open for Eritreans, he knows what he has done.
He hijacked Eritreans from their homeland opened a new Dadaab (Shimelba) across the border to milking the UN. He also noticed that Eritreans are the richest refugees he ever seen and allow them room freely and make them pay his corrupted generals (the smugglers) millions of dollars.
He is using both Somalis and Eritreans. Woyane exported Eritreans and sold their kidneys in Sinay Dessert, history will tell and God will judge woyanes for all their crimes, but those who come willfully from abroad and invest in Ethiopia, either they are half-casted or brainless. They will face the same destiny and BETRAYAL like Amiches and our ancestors starting from Zeray Deres, Aman Andom, Haregot Abay, Tesfayohanes Berhe many many more who paid the price of their willful services, are burried under the marvelous stretched chinese building of the UN Headqarter (the old ALEM BEKAGN. All Hailesellasie families are also burried deep underneath.
UN Headquarter in Addis = Martyrs Monument
Ethiopia never been kind in history to Eritreans. Haileselassie said it, Derg said it….ERITREA MERETUWA INJI HZBUWA AYASFELGENM (The living invador words, from the horsemouth!!!! This is what it means "your are part of our society" in Amharic language
You guys are paper tigers, your power is the internet. The facts on the ground are different. You Ethiopians worry about your problem in Addis and we will be happy to be left alone. We are very happy with our leadership. Take care of yours.

My assistance you must become.
Do not forsake me and do not leave me, O my God of salvation.
10 In case my own father and my own mother did leave me,
Even Jehovah himself would take me up.
These verse comforted me greatly while leaving the WTS. I lost my parents, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, friends I'd had for over 20 years and my young niece and nephew.
It isn't easy, but it's possible to cope with the pain of lost relationships.
Hebrews 13: 12 Hence Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Let us, then, go forth to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach he bore.
Jesus suffered immensely and sometimes we reach a point in our Christian life that we need to step outside the protection of the city, just as he had to, and endure the reproach he bore. It's painful, but it comes with blessings.
PM if you need any support.

MSU Legal Studies Research Paper No. 8-22
In the United States in 2005, more than 60% of the more than 564,000 nonfatal, violent incidents perpetrated by intimate partners were reported to the police. Whether police arrested the alleged perpetrators of domestic violence in response to these reports varied widely, based in part on state law governing the ability or duty of an officer to make a warrantless arrest. Although all 50 states and the District of Columbia currently allow officers to make warrantless arrests for domestic violence, state laws differ from one another in multiple, important ways. This article details, compares, and analyzes differences between state domestic violence warrantless arrest laws.

HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania voters will not be required to produce identification to cast ballots in November.
A Commonwealth Court judge has barred enforcement of the state's 2012 voter ID law until he makes a final determination in the case challenging the legislation.
In his ruling Friday, Judge Bernard McGinley said while poll workers asking for ID was not itself disenfranchisement, a hardship was created for voters by the state's misleading or nonexistent information on the new law's requirements.

PNGA Announces 2011 Players of the Year
The Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) has announced the 2011 Player of the Year recipients. The winners include Chris Williams of Moscow, Idaho, in the Men's category; Erynne Lee of Silverdale, Wash., received the Women's award; Tom Brandes of Bellevue, Wash., the Senior Men's award; Terri Frohnmayer of Salem, Ore., the Senior Women's award; Kevin Kwon of Pitt Meadows, B.C., the Junior Boys' award; and Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam, B.C., the Junior Girls' award.
For Williams, 2011 was a historic year that included national and international recognition. In June, he was U.S. Open qualifying medalist at Gold Mountain Golf Club. His stellar play would lead to his selection to play for the U.S. Team at the Palmer Cup, where his undefeated record helped the U.S. beat the European Team at Stanwich Club in Greenwich, Conn. Williams would also win a pair of major amateur championships with back-to-back victories at the 18th Sahalee Players Championship and 45th Pacific Coast Amateur in July, and would shoot a 16-under-par 268 to earn medalist honors at the 109th Western Amateur, where he finished as a quarterfinalist. Williams' outstanding summer culminated in August with his selection to the Walker Cup Team, where his record of 2-1-0 was one of the shining performances on the U.S. squad that came up short against the Great Britain and Ireland Team at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in Scotland.
Lee, now 18, has been awarded her second Women's Player of the Year honor. In June, Lee won the Washington State Women's Amateur by defeating her little sister, Katie Lee, by two strokes with a 54-hole total of 3-under-par 213. The most notable performance of Lee's season came a few weeks later in the U.S. Women's Amateur at Rhode Island Country Club, where she would make the quarterfinals for the second year in a row. Also in the past year Lee has played in the U.S. Women's Open, was the Washington State 4A Champion and participated in Canadian Women's Tour events at Beloeil, Blue Springs and Squamish Valley.
Brandes had an inspiring year in winning his first Senior Men's Player of the Year honor. After qualifying for the U.S. Senior Open in each of the past two years, 2011 was a year of firsts for Brandes. He started by winning the Senior Washington Open title at the Cedars at Dungeness, in Sequim, Wash., in June and then qualified for the USGA Senior Amateur in his first attempt. Finally, Brandes capped off a memorable season by winning the Washington State Senior Men's Amateur at Bellingham Golf and Country Club in September.
Frohnmayer had a fine year as well with her victory in the USGA Senior Women's Amateur at the Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn. Frohnmayer defeated defending champion, Mina Hardin of Fort Worth, Texas, 2 and 1 in the final match for her first national title. Frohnmayer was playing in just her third national championship; she lost to Betsy King in the second round of the 1973 U.S. Girls' Junior and was a member of the Rollins College team that played in the 1978 National Women's Collegiate Championship. Frohnmayer finished her remarkable campaign with a runner-up finish in the Pacific Northwest Senior Women's Amateur at Victoria Golf Club, where she was the defending champion.
Kwon, an 11th grader at Maple Ridge Secondary in Maple Ridge, B.C., captured the Canadian Junior Boys' Championship by 11 shots and won the Canadian Junior Boys' Juvenile Championship as well. Kwon also recorded a pair of runner-up finishes at the B.C. Junior Boys' Championship and Canadian National Future Links Pacific Championship, as well as a fourth-place finish in the Western Canada Summer Games.
Keel, a member of the Canadian National Developmental Team, won the Canadian National Future Links Pacific Championship and the Canadian Junior Girls' Championship, Juvenile Division. Keel also notched a pair of runner-up finishes at the Canadian Junior Girls' Championship and the B.C. Junior Girls' Championship. A third-place finish in the Canadian Women's Tour event at Squamish Valley, B.C., where she was the low amateur, and her Round of 16 finish in the U.S. Junior Girls' Championship highlighted Keel's outstanding year. For her extraordinary play, Keel was awarded the "Top Amateur of the Year" award on the Canadian Women's Tour.
The PNGA Player of the Year candidates are nominated by the various state and provincial golf associations that comprise the PNGA (Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington) and are selected by a vote of the PNGA Championship Committee and members of the Northwest Golf Media Association. Awards are given annually in the six different categories: Men's, Women's, Senior Men's, Senior Women's, Junior Boys', and Junior Girls'. The awards will be officially presented at the PNGA Annual Meeting next spring.

Typical MRI examinations focus on the evaluation of anatomy and detection of pathology. UCSD researchers are demonstrating how MRI can be used for evaluating tissue function. Techniques such as Functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging, and MR Spectroscopy (MRS) are methods for evaluating tissue function.
The UCSD/Tenet Magnetic Resonance Institute also conducts clinical trials and collaborative research studies with local Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Internal Medicine physicians, and Orthopedic Surgeons.
Whenever we use our brains, neurons and supporting structures require oxygen and nutrients to provide energy for optimal brain function. Blood flow changes are linked with brain activation and can be measured using special MRI techniques. Whenever we perform an activity such as moving our fingers or opening and closing our hands, there is increased blood flow to the motor area of the brain. In fact, this flow increase exceeds the actual demand for oxygen. This increase of oxygenated blood relative to de-oxygenated blood results in subtle changes in MRI signal in comparison to the pre-activity state. This small change in MRI signal can be detected using ultra-fast Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) techniques. The difference between the pre-activity state and active state is mapped onto a high- resolution image. fMRI allows mapping of active areas of the brain during a wide range motor, sensory, and cognitive tasks. By mapping these patterns of brain activation, researchers hope to gain better understanding of neurological and psychological deficits such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, autism, and patients with brain tumors.
The fMRI technique maps patterns of activation in the human brain based on changes in blood oxygenation. In addition, arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques make possible direct imaging of blood flow in the brain. With this method arterial blood is magnetically tagged before it reaches a particular section of the brain. After waiting for the tagged blood to be delivered, an image is acquired. By subtracting two images, one with tagging and one without, an image of blood delivered to each region of the brain is calculated. The ASL technique can be used to map activations, like the fMRI technique. However, the ASL technique also reveals blood flow changes in pathological conditions, such as stroke.
Subtle fluid changes in the brain are seen in various disease states. Routine MRI is sensitive to these fluid changes and has improved medical treatment since its clinical inception. Diffusion imaging uses special manipulation of the magnetic field that allows the detection of brain fluid changes that may not be apparent on routine MRI images. Diffusion imaging aids in the early detection of stroke injury by differentiating the amount of brain tissue permanently damaged during a stroke from potentially recoverable brain tissue.
Perfusion imaging uses MRI contrast media (Gd-DTPA) to enhance damaged areas of the brain. Using both diffusion and perfusion imaging will help differentiate an ischemic stroke versus a hemorrhagic stroke. Perfusion imaging will determine if a stroke patient is a candidate for receiving new anti-coagulant drugs designed for reversing stroke symptoms. Hemorrhagic stroke patients are not candidates for receiving new anti-coagulant drugs.
Using magnetic resonance for the spectroscopic evaluation of chemical substances has been performed long before MRI became utilized for the evaluation of anatomy and pathology. MR Spectroscopy evaluates the chemical make-up of the brain without having to remove any tissue. This is extremely useful for studying metabolic disorders of the brain, differentiating changes in radiation necrosis versus recurrent brain tumor, and evaluating demyelination changes in the white matter or temporal lobes on patients with seizures.

In the first 2010 issue of Nature, the editor, Philip Campbell,1 suggested that the next 10-year period is likely to be the "decade for psychiatric disorders." This was not a prediction of an epidemic, although mental illnesses are highly prevalent, nor a suggestion that new illnesses would emerge. The key point was that research on mental illness was, at long last, reaching an inflection point at which insights gained from genetics and neuroscience would transform the understanding of psychiatric illnesses. The insights are indeed coming fast and furious. In this Commentary, we suggest ways in which genomics and neuroscience can help reconceptualize disorders of the mind as disorders of the brain and thereby transform the practice of psychiatry.

TRENTON Frigid temperatures, a looming snowstorm, and a set of jitters did not stop the grandfather of a 2-year-old medical-marijuana cardholder from showing up at Gov. Christie's swearing-in this week.
Gene Gatens, a carpenter from Brick, Ocean County, was among a small crowd of 30 protesters to stake out a spot Tuesday near the War Memorial. He hoisted a homemade plywood sign that read, "Don't Force Families to Move for Medicine."
It was Gatens' first experience as a demonstrator and ended up eye-opening and bittersweet. "I did it for the sake of my granddaughter," he said.
A year ago, doctors approved Vivian Wilson of Scotch Plains to use marijuana to control her life-threatening seizures. But the type she needs is still unavailable in New Jersey.

Hillis watches practice
August 23, 2011 - Mike McLain
BEREA -- Browns running back Peyton Hillis was an observer at practice Tuesday because of stiffness in his back.
Coach Pat Shurmur didn't seemed concerned about the injury, but it's doubtful that Hillis will play Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles. He probably would be able to play if it was a regular-season game.
Hillis' health become an issue late last season when he wore down from the wear and tear of being a physical runner. He missed time recently with a hamstring injury, which forced him to miss last Friday's game against the Detroit Lions.
Hillis' injury won't affect the amount of playing time given to Montario Hardety against the Eagles. Hardesty should get time with the first offense, which is expected to play the entire first half.
Posting big numbers isn't the most important thing for Hardesty. The injury-plagued back just needs to get through the game without suffering any more setbacks.
One of the highlights at practice was the interception of a Colt McCoy pass by cornerback Sheldon Brown. McCoy was targeting receiver Brian Robiskie near the goal line.
Tight end Evan Moore returned to practice Tuesday after suffering a concussion against the Lions. Moore said the injjury was minor. He might play against the Eagles.

Two East Yorkshire hospitals are exceling when it comes to cleanliness and patient dignity, according to the results of a patient-led inspection.
Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham underwent PLACE Inspections (Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment) in April and June, and the recently published findings suggest standards of hospital cleanliness to be practically perfect with a score of 99% at HRI and 98% at Castle Hill.
The average hospital score was 95.74%.
Hull Royal Infirmary is also out-performing the majority of Trusts in the country when it comes to patient privacy, dignity and well-being, with a score of 95% compared to a national average of 88.87% (Castle Hill scored 89%).
Indeed, Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust scored higher than the national average across the majority of areas covered in the inspections, which also include the appearance and condition of buildings and the facilities available for visitors.
Jill Venables, Head of Facilities for Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, is delighted with the outcome. She says:
"PLACE inspections give local people a real opportunity to be involved in hospital services and give us the opportunity to see our facilities in a fresh and independent way, as patients actually see them.
"The reviews largely focus on those factors which, whilst not always central to the clinical quality of care patients receive, still have a big impact on their overall experience of hospital care. The quality of signage and facilities for visitors, the condition of the wards and the variety of food provided can all have a huge effect on how comfortable patients feel in our care, and potentially how quickly they recover.
"In the first year of PLACE inspections, it's great to have received such positive reviews and this means a lot to us because the feedback has come directly from people who live locally and use our services.
"At the same time, we know there is work to do in improving some of our scores in relation to food and hydration, for example, but it's been helpful to be able to talk these issues through with patient inspectors and we're now clear on where to focus our improvement efforts.
"We hope these results overall will offer some reassurance to other patients who are due to come into hospital around the cleanliness and quality of the facilities provided at Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust."
PLACE inspections were carried out for the first time this year, replacing the former PEAT (Patient Environment Action Team) inspections. PLACE inspection teams are made up of both patient representatives and hospital staff, and patients make up at least 50% of the membership.

TAKE-OUT: Things to do in Vancouver, June 2014
June is when Vancouver takes it OUTSIDE! If you're looking for things to do when you're in the city in June, you're going to have to slop on some sunscreen, find the shades and wear the comfy shoes. There are some notable exceptions, of course, but June is the month when we start to get our summer on!
Staying out until 4 am is a thing of the past for some of us, so when we see the words "early show," we take note. Vancouver's alt-country rocker Rich Hope has built a cult-like following, and his monthly "Honky Tonk Saturdays" at Mt. Pleasant's Fox Cabaret are our idea of a good time. Doors open at 7 pm with the show starting at 8 pm; factor in an après-concert cocktail or two and you can still be in bed in time to catch Weekend Update.

THE GUY NEXT DOOR: Chris Bjerrisgaard, Vancouver Craft Beer Week
It was only a couple of years ago that most Vancouverites thought a "growler" referred to some sort of cantankerous wildlife attacking the dumpster in your back alley. But thanks to the work of this month's "Guy Next Door" and his cohorts, the city's craft beer scene has gone from niche to Main Street while still retaining its credibility. May 30 marks the start of the fifth annual Vancouver Craft Beer Week, of which The Burrard Hotel is the official hotel sponsor. So we thought this would be the perfect time to chat with one of the founders of the event, Chris Bjerrisgaard, and get his picks on what to fill your glass with while you're in Vancouver.READ MORE

UPDATED at 11:00 p.m.
CLEVELAND — Mayor Frank Jackson, joining city leaders nationwide in lobbying Washington for federal aid, wants $730 million to solve four transportation problems in Cleveland, including two he described as safety threats.
In a recent letter to President-elect Barack Obama, Jackson said a new westbound Inner Belt Bridge and repairs to an unstable hillside along the Cuyahoga River are his two top priorities.
"We seek action now to avoid tragedies such as the bridge collapse in Minnesota," Jackson wrote, referencing the 2007 catastrophe that claimed 13 lives on Interstate 35 in Minneapolis.
Rounding out the mayor's wish list: money to advance the slow-moving Opportunity Corridor and West Shoreway plans, both of which Jackson deems critical to the city's future.
Jackson sent a similar letter to Gov. Ted Strickland in which he asked that the governor join him immediately in seeking federal money for the four projects.
A spokesman for the governor said Friday that Strickland shares Jackson's concerns on infrastructure issues. Specifically, a $2.7 billion state request for federal aid includes an unspecified amount to speed up design for the Inner Belt and Opportunity Corridor.
"Gov. Strickland does plan to continue advocating very aggressively with Mayor Jackson and other officials around the state to continue the call for a federal recovery package that includes significant infrastructure investment to kick-start the economy," spokesman Keith Dailey said.
The call comes as Obama talks about pursuing an economic stimulus package that would help fix and replace crumbling roads, bridges and other aging infrastructure. Jackson advocated such federal aid last year as Obama was battling for the Democratic nomination for president.
Jackson endorsed his fellow Democrat Obama in the primaries after the candidate responded positively to the mayor's urban agenda. Now, Obama is asking mayors and governors what projects would most benefit their cities and states if Congress approves his $775 billion stimulus.
One catch is that Obama's plan is expected to favor quick-start, "shovel ready" projects -- undertakings that could begin within months of receiving stimulus money. In his letter, Jackson acknowledged that his four most-pressing priorities are not such projects.
"But we don't want to forget these major, transformative kind of projects," the mayor said Thursday during an interview with Plain Dealer reporters and editors.
Jackson also submitted to Obama a list of 49 "shovel ready" projects estimated to cost more than $400 million, including components of the stalled Flats East Bank project. The mixed-use development proposal -- one of Cleveland's most ballyhooed -- calls for a hotel, office buildings, retail and homes. It came to a halt last year because of the national financial drought.
Meanwhile, requests for stimulus money are pouring in from across the country.
Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman included $200 million for a light-rail system in his $334.5 million request to Obama, the Columbus Dispatch reported Thursday.
Last month, the U.S. Conference of Mayors identified more than 11,000 ready-to-go infrastructure projects in 427 cities that would cost $73 billion and create about 850,000 jobs. Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic submitted plans for 250 projects at that time.
"We have no idea of what'll make the cut," Mark Williamson, Plusquellic's spokesman, wrote Friday in an e-mail. "We put in everything we feel is in need."
Plain Dealer Reporter Michael K. McIntyre contributed to this story.
