With weeks to spare, the Obama administration met its goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of September 2016, and announced plans to increase the overall refugee ceiling to 110,000 in fiscal 2017. However, opposition continues to mount in Congress, statehouses, and on the campaign trail, with Republicans citing security concerns in calling for lower numbers or additional screening, as this article explores.

Two years on, the Australia-Cambodia refugee relocation agreement—the first of its kind involving a traditional resettlement country relocating refugees to a country with no resettlement track record—has proven to be underwhelming in its outcomes. Only five refugees have been voluntarily relocated under the deal, of whom just one remains in Cambodia. This article explores where the deal went wrong and what lies ahead for Australia's detained asylum seekers.
Approximately 4 million immigrants from the Caribbean resided in the United States in 2014, representing 9 percent of the country's total immigrant population. While 90 percent of Caribbean immigrants come from five countries, this population overall is very diverse in its skill levels, racial composition, language background, and immigration pathways. This Spotlight article provides information on the Caribbean immigrant population in the United States, focusing on its size, geographic distribution, and socioeconomic characteristics.
The Head Start program—a model for early childhood education programs nationwide—has served more than 33 million children since its inception half a century ago, many from immigrant families. This article examines the role of Head Start in the education of Dual Language Learners, who now comprise one-third of enrollees, and discusses how recent policy changes may affect this population.
Although long one of the world's top migrant destinations, only in the recent past has Germany come to acknowledge and adjust to its role as a country of immigration. Its welcoming approach—a relatively new development—has been put to the test amid massive humanitarian inflows beginning in 2015. This country profile examines Germany's history on immigration and highlights current and emerging debates.
In contrast to increasingly restrictive approaches to migration in the global North—and recent skepticism towards Europe's free mobility project—South America is taking steps in the other direction, toward free movement for regional migrants. This article examines the emerging South American model and discusses its implications for migration in the region and for free movement in general.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
The Brussels terrorist attacks have renewed national debate in the United States over whether the U.S. refugee admissions program could be a gateway for terrorists to enter the country. Meanwhile, federal courts have frustrated state efforts to block resettlement of Syrian refugees even as some members of Congress have sought to reform the refugee admissions process through new legislation, as this article explores.
The Armenian diaspora, which significantly exceeds the country's resident population, has played an instrumental role in Armenia's political and economic development since independence in 1991. Yet a picture emerges of divergent currents within the diaspora, often seen from above as a unified entity. Delve into differences in engagement among Armenia's "old" and "new" diasporas with this feature article.
Mexican immigration to the United States has slowed in recent years, and since the Great Recession more Mexican immigrants have returned to Mexico than have migrated to the United States. Mexicans, however, remain the largest origin group in the country, accounting for 28 percent of all immigrants. See how Mexican immigrants compare to the overall foreign- and U.S.-born populations on key indicators with this Spotlight article.
In August 2015, India and Bangladesh officially exchanged 162 enclaves, marking the end of a 300-year old anomaly that saw the fragmented territory of one sovereign power located inside another sovereign territory. Enclave residents have lived in virtual statelessness since partition in 1947, without identity documents or access to essential services. As part of the deal, India and Bangladesh allowed residents to choose their country of citizenship.
Growing rapidly from a population of 90,000 in 1960 to nearly 3 million in 2014, South American immigrants now represent 7 percent of all foreign born in the United States. Family-based immigration is the primary pathway for all South American groups, ranging from 45 percent of Venezuelan immigrants to 97 percent of those from Guyana.
The once-tiny population of Vietnamese immigrants in the United States has grown to become the country's sixth largest foreign-born group in the span of several decades, with the first wave beginning at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. This data profile examines the Vietnamese immigrant population by size, recency of arrival, top states and cities of settlement, college education, sending of remittances, and much more.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.

MOODY, Alabama --- The Moody City Council tonight approved a development agreement with Love's Travel Stop and Country Stores Inc., which plans to build a travel center on Interstate 20 at the Brompton exit in Moody.
St. Clair County is also a party in the agreement.
The center, which will be on the eastbound side of I-20, will include a Love's Travel Stop, two "nationally recognized" fast food chains and other retail development.
It is expected to generate annual taxable sales of more than $6 million and create an estimated 65 full-time and part-time jobs, according to the agreement.
Under the agreement, Moody will rebate revenue from 1 cent of its 3 cents per gallon diesel tax for diesel fuel sold at the center. The rebate is capped at $1,556,667.
The St. Clair County Commission is expected to consider the agreement on Thursday. If it approves, the county would rebate to Love's Travel Stop and Country Stores, Inc., 50 percent of the revenue from its 1-percent general sales tax generated at the center.
The county's rebate would be capped at $433,333. That means the total rebate from the county and the city could not exceed $1,990,000. The rebates stop when they reach that cap or after 16 years, whichever happens first.
Last month, the city and county entered a similar agreement with High Tide Oil Company Inc., which is building a Valero Travel Center on the westbound side of the Brompton exit. Construction is under way on that center.
Last week, Moody raised its diesel sales tax from 1 cent to 3 cents per gallon.

We present a useful way to study how the solar corona varies with time. Observations by EIT and SXT are used to construct limb synoptic maps. The maps show limb emissions as functions of polar angle and time.
We identify and interpret various persistent structures such as coronal hole boundaries, polar rays, and polar plumes seen on these maps. The physical properties of these structures are discussed.An empirical 3-dimensional electron density model for the background corona will be introduced. This model was obtained through the use of a median-filtering technique on the EIT coronal images obtained during solar minimum (January through May 1996).
This work was supported by NASA grant NAG5-4941 and by a subcontract with LMSAL in support of NASA contract NAS8-40801 for YOHKOH SXT.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc. has piqued every marketer`s interest. Many companies have jumped in on the bandwagon and now want to reach their audience via the social media channel. Well, being on social media and interacting with your fans and followers is a great way to stay tuned in to their likes, dislikes, preferences, wants and needs. In fact, it is so much of a rage in India (and elsewhere in the world too) that many social media marketing companies specialize in providing social media marketing services to various industries and so is the case with social media agencies in India too! But does that mean traditional media is dying a slow death and now it is just the age of social media?
Well, social media certainly has its advantages and now it has evolved so much that practically everyone can be connected via the social networks and marketers can practically do anything and weave a magic around their brand/products and services – so much so that traditional media is now becoming limiting. Marketing aspects like micro targeting, specific target audience or customized advertisements or even call-to-action is possible only on social media and digital media world. Where else can you directly have one on one conversation with your customers across the world? Cherry on the cake is the fact that the investment is very less (financial investment) and the returns (if done properly and strategically) are very high!
Social Media marketing companies in India have started providing guidance and special SEO techniques to all the companies who are trying to woo their audience and target them strategically on various social media and digital media platforms. This shows the growing importance of this form of advertising and marketing.
But companies must not forget what and who their audience is. Some social networks are great for women, some are great for professional purposes, some are specialized in pictures/audio/video and some others are mainly for interaction between the interest groups. Thus, knowing where your audience can be found is the most important step!
Lastly, marketers should make sure that a blend of both the worlds – digital/social and traditional till rules the advertising industry. Make this decision strategically!

COLUMBIA — A new state House bill backed by high-profile Republicans aims to bar a class of political groups in South Carolina from giving direct campaign contributions to candidates.
But there is uncertainty as to whether the proposal as written would accomplish that goal.
Among the sponsors of the new measure: House Speaker Bobby Harrell of Charleston, who is affiliated with perhaps the most well-known such group operating in the state, the Palmetto Leadership Council.
The committee has doled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct contributions to candidates — mostly incumbent Republicans — and other groups.
But under a campaign reform bill by House Speaker Pro Tem Jay Lucas, R-Hartsville, candidates could no longer accept campaign contributions from the Palmetto Leadership Council and a host of similar groups, Lucas said.
"What we intended to do with the bill was to stop individuals in the General Assembly from forming or having an involvement with political action committees that raise money," Lucas said.
Lucas said the groups could be perceived as giving an unfair advantage to legislators.
Harrell said in a statement that he is backing Lucas' proposal because it matches a recommendation by a House ethics reform study panel.
"To advance the issue of ethics reform in the House, I signed onto the bill as a co-sponsor," he said. Lucas' legislation would not bar legislative caucus committees or political parties from making direct campaign contributions, or keep candidates or public officials from making a contribution of their personal funds to a candidate for another office.
The bill also attempts to first define a committee, which the state hasn't had a legal definition for since 2010, following a federal court ruling. That ruling has allowed anonymous groups in South Carolina to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money from undisclosed sources.
But as with much of the modern campaign finance world, things are complicated. There's some question as to whether Lucas' bill would do what he wants it to do.
Although they often are referenced interchangeably by the uninitiated, there is a legal difference in South Carolina between the definitions of so-called "leadership PACs" and what are known as non-candidate committees.
The Palmetto Leadership Council, for example, is widely referred to as a leadership PAC by many S.C. politicos. But under the classification used by the State Ethics Commission, which collects the state's campaign finance information, the council is a non-candidate committee. In South Carolina, leadership PACs are those which list a public official on a group's statement of organization.
Such PACs are less common than non-candidate committees, said Cathy Hazelwood, an attorney for the Ethics Commission.
Hazelwood said the language Lucas' bill would add to state law would only ban candidates from taking direct campaign contributions from leadership PACs, not from non-candidate committees.
A major issue is that state law remains brief and vague on the definition of leadership PACs, leading to confusion.
Lucas said the bill's goal, with language crafted in part by House staff, is to outlaw direct contributions by both varieties of groups.
He said Friday that he planned to talk with Hazelwood after learning of her interpretation.
An ethics reform study panel formed by Gov. Nikki Haley last month recommended the abolishment of leadership PACs, among other changes to state ethics law. A similar panel composed of House Republicans also recommended the abolishment of leadership PACs. A report outlining the House panel's suggestions has not yet been made public but has been provided to Republican caucus members, according to a spokesman for the caucus.
Lucas' proposal is co-sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Greg Delleney of Chester in addition to Harrell.

I just read a review from someone who obviously was on the same cruise and was a bit disappointed. Too bad, I thought everything was handled well,the food outstanding,the entertainment, superb and the 800 staff members, FANTASTIC! The only disappointment I had was that I couldn't get into the Pinnacle Grill for the Le Cirque dinner. I was on the "waiting to be called in case of a cancellation" list. That call did not come. Heavy Sigh! Oh well! Next time.....There are worse things to stress about. My heart goes out to the family who lost their loved one on Saturday morning in the wee early hours. So sorry for their loss.
Anyway, old ship (??) or not, I loved my experience on the Oosterdam and would book on it in a heartbeat.

Study Finds Pregnant Women "Awash" In Chemicals, What's The Take Away?Ceridwen Morris
Researchers from the University of California San Fransisco (UCSF) have detected 43 chemicals, including several that have been banned since the 1970s, in the blood and urine of 99-100% of the pregnant women they screened.
Alarming headlines have been quick to follow: Time magazine tells pregnant women they are "awash" in chemicals. We're marinating in this stuff. All pregnant women are affected. No matter their personal choices. Yikes.
This kind of information can be really disturbing when you're pregnant for obvious reasons. Your body and brain have been rewired towards a certain level of vigilance; from super smelling abilities in the first trimester to a hyper-awareness of your baby and the environment postpartum. To read that you're stewing in PBDEs, phthalates, PCBs, DDT and BPA — all chemicals that have been linked to a handful of harmful repercussions from cancer to damaged reproductive health—is not going to go unnoticed.
But what does it all mean? And what can you do?
I was actually not that surprised to read about this research. We have known for some time that there are over 200 known chemicals in umbilical cord blood. This is the first study to actually tally up the chemicals in pregnant women: Researchers from UCSF analyzed data for 268 pregnant women from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004 and found 43 known chemicals in 99-100% of the women tested. Apparently these women represent a good cross-section of the population. Among the chemicals detected were PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, PFCs, phenols, PBDEs, phthalates, and PAHs. Researchers also found PBDEs, compounds used as flame retardants that have been banned in many states including California, and DDT, a pesticide banned in 1972. 96 % of the women had BPA in their blood.
We don't know what these chemicals are doing, how they work, or do not work, in conjunction with one another to cause, or not cause, any harm.
We don't know what levels of these chemicals would need to be in a pregnant woman's body to bring on real risk to the fetus.
The researchers themselves are the first to say this is NOT a study that includes information or data about *HOW* these chemicals affect pregnant women. Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH, director of the UCSF Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment, said that it "was surprising and concerning to find so many chemicals in pregnant women without fully knowing the implications for pregnancy."
"Our findings indicate several courses of action. First, additional research is needed to identify dominant sources of exposure to chemicals and how they influence our health, especially in reproduction," said Woodruff. "Second, while individuals can take actions in their everyday lives to protect themselves from toxins, significant, long-lasting change only will result from a systemic approach that includes proactive government policies." (My emphasis.)
There's such a strong focus on what pregnant women shouldn't do (don't lie on your back, don't eat tuna, etc) that risk in pregnancy can start to seem entirely within the realm of each woman's personal lifestyle choices. Yes, it's a good idea to stop smoking and try to stay healthy. But there's a lot more that can be done: We can do more research on how these chemicals affect our fetuses. And we can regulate chemicals that are suspected of doing harm. We need to shift the focus from blaming mothers and start looking at how we can protect them.
Amidst the sea of alarming headlines I found a very sober, reassuring analysis of this study by Christine Lepisto at, of all places, the environmental activist website Treehugger.com. Lepisto sensibly parses out the issues raised by this study and tells pregnant women flat out: "Hakuna matada, don't worry." Some of these chemicals, Lepisto points out, may not be harmful on their own in small amounts. But, "when we do find suspicions building about a bad actor, like the recent case of BPA, we need to regulate first and study later — the precautionary principle must outweigh the free market principle."
The research is published in Environmental Health Perspectives this month.

Positive signs
May 30, 2010 - Mike McLain
Browns coach Eric Mangini had some words of praise recently for receiver Brian Robiskie, which were a few more than he had last season.
Let's face it: Robsikie, a fan favorite out of Ohio State, made no impact last season. Seven receptions for 106 yards and no touchdowns wasn't what anyone expected from a high second-round draft choice.
Unable to impress the coaches with his play on offense, Robiskie's cause for playing time was further damaged because he's not a head-hunter on special teams. As a result, he was inactive for five games.
Apparently Robiskie has made strides since his rookie season ended. He's showing up during OTA (organized team activity) practices, which led to Mangini's positive comments.
Part of the reason for Robiskie's better practice play is the simple fact that many players make big strides from year one to year two. Another could be that he actually has a quarterback in Jake Delhomme that can hit open targets.
Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson were awful in practice. The theory that the ball shouldn't hit the ground in practice was never learned by either of the two.
Robiskie couldn't be in a better situation. The Browns are far from loaded with talent at receiver (it's the weakest position group on the roster). Beyond second-year player Mohamed Massaquoi, no one is assured of a starting spot.
If the Browns don't add a veteran starter (the free-agent market is about bare), the door is wide open for Robiskie. If he doesn't improve this season, the word "bust" will begin to surface.
For now, things are looking good for Robiskie. Of course, it's late May. Let's see what happens when it begins to count in September.

S&P Says Still Hold AMD
Plus analysts' opinions on Alcoa, STMicroelectronics, and more
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Amrit Tewary
AMD warns that fourth-quarter sales will be up only slightly from the third quarter, and operating income will be down sharply. We believe price competition in flash memory market has been hurting the company more than we had initially expected. We now see fourth-quarter sales showing only a modest sequential improvement, compared to our earlier 8% growth projection. On lower sales and margin assumptions, we are cutting our fourth-quarter earnings per share estimate to 8 cents from 19 cents, full 2004 earnings per share to 41 cents from 52 cents, and 2005's earnings per share estimate to 46 cents from 66 cents. We are lowering our 12-month target price by $1 to $17, based on price-to-sales analysis.
Alcoa (AA ): Reiterates 4 STARS (buy)
Analyst: Leo Larkin
Alcoa posts fourth-quarter earnings per share from continuing operations of 39 cents, vs. 39 cents on a 10.3% sales gain, shy of our 40 cents estimate. Earnings per share was unchanged as margin contraction in packaging, a loss in the company's miscellaneous other segment, and lower non-operating income offset higher metal prices. Alcoa tells analysts that it expects raw material and currency cost pressures to persist in 2005, but expects to be able to negate the impact through cost cutting. We are keeping our $2.25 2005 earnings per share estimate unchanged, as we believe higher volume and prices for both alumina and aluminum should offset rising costs.
STMicroelectronics (STM ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Habib Nasrallah, CFA, Megan Graham-Hackett
STMicroelectonics now sees December-quarter revenues up 4.3% from its September-quarter, at the upper end of its prior guidance of 0% to 5%, but in line with our forecast. However, the company lowers its gross margin guidance to 36.6% from 38% to 39%, mainly on a weaker U.S. dollar. STMicroelectonics reports Jan. 27, and with lower gross margin guidance, we are reducing our 2004 earnings per share estimate to 63 cents from our original 66 cents. Although we are maintaining our hold recommendation, we are reducing our 12-month target price to $18 from $20 to reflect our view of the impact of the dollar's depreciation.
News Corp. (NWS ): Reiterates 5 STARS (strong buy)
Analyst: Tuna Amobi, CPA, CFA
While News Corp. expects its tender offer for the public's 18% stake in Fox Entertainment to be accretive in fiscal 2005 (ending June), our earnings per share estimate stays at 75 cents, slightly above the Street mean. After News Corp.'s recent domicile change and S&P index addition, we think this stock swap and short form merger should help streamline structure and boost liquidity. With likely SEC greenlight on Form S-4, and approval from Fox's independent directors likely not critical, the tender could be consummated by early March. But, after a run-up in Fox shares, a reasonably higher bid would not seem unlikely.
Fox Entertainment Group (FOX ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Tuna Amobi, CPA, CFA
After yesterday's significant run-up in Fox shares in the wake of the tender offer from parent News Corp., we think the shares are now trading at the higher end of our fair value estimates. With this post-announcement run-up, however, we expect, and would not be surprised by, a reasonably higher bid from News Corp. The deal could be consummated by Mar. 2004, subject to SEC approval of Form S-4. After the deal, we continue to like News Corp. as a better play for Fox's diversified media and entertainment assets. Our 12-month target price for Fox is $35.
Genentech (DNA ): Reiterates 5 STARS (strong buy)
Analyst: Frank DiLorenzo, CFA
Fourth-quarter profroma earnings per share of 21 cents was in line with our expectations. Product sales are slightly disappointing to us, with $200 million for Avastin $6 million below our projection, $448 million for Rituxan $4 million below, and $126 million for Herceptin $3 million below. Tarceva sales of $13 million were $9 million above. We are lowering our 2005 earnings per share estimate to $1.07 from $1.15 on higher cost guidance than expected. However, we see long-term upside on Tarceva with AstraZeneca's Iressa now out of the picture, and think Lucentis results due in second-quarter could provide catalyst if they are positive. On our net-present-value analysis, our target price remains $63.
QLogic Corp. (QLGC ): Upgrades to 4 STARS (buy) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Richard Stice, CFA
QLogic sees December-quarter revenue at $148 to $150 million and earnings per share of 46 cents to 48 cents. Previous revenue and earnings per share guidance was $136 to $148 million and 38 cents to 41 cents, respectively. The company cites strong demand for all major product categories, as well as less price erosion than we expected. We view this news positively and believe QLogic continues to strengthen its industry-leading market share position. We are raising our fiscal 2005 (ending March) earnings per share estimate by 5 cents to $1.65, our fiscal 2006 by 8 cents to $1.78, and our 12-month target price by $5 to $40 on updated discounted-cash-flow growth rates. We advise purchase. Williams-Sonoma (WSM ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)

Williams-Sonoma posted flat same-store sales for the eight-week holiday period ended Dec. 26 and reiterates earnings per share guidance of $1.58 to $1.61 for fiscal 2005 (ending January). Revenues came in lower than expectations, however, due to weakness in Pottery Barn sales as well as a greater shift than expected to retail sales the week after Christmas, reflecting an increase in pre-holiday gift card sales. We are trimming our fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 earnings per share estimates to $1.60 and $1.88 from $1.61 and $1.92, and lowering our 12-month target price to $38 from $40, or to 20 times our fiscal 2006 estimate, a slight premium to peers.
Adolor Corp. (ADLR ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Jeffrey Loo, CFA
The FDA has requested that Adolor provide data from the European Phase III trial for Entereg to treat postoperative ileus. This trial failed to meet its primary endpoints. We believe the results from the trial, along with the mixed results from the 3 Phase III trials in the U.S., raise doubts about FDA approval of the NDA. We see the FDA requesting another trial, effectively delaying potential commercialization until 2008. We still expect positive data from Phase II trials for Entereg to treat opioid bowel dysfunction and chronic constipation. Our 12-month target price stays $11.

PULE Mabe is young — very young in terms of the African National Congress (ANC) definition of youth. At 32, he is the youngest member of the ANC's national executive committee, its most senior committee. His rise is linked to his work in the campaign for President Jacob Zuma's second term.
On the flip side, it is also linked to his victimisation, as an adversary of Julius Malema, when they both served on the ANC Youth League's top committee. Mr Mabe became treasurer of the league in 2008 when Mr Malema became the body's president. But their relationship fractured in 2011.
Mr Malema went all out against Mr Zuma — leading him to get the boot from the ruling party.
As Mr Malema pulled the strings in the league, with his lieutenants following his orders, Mr Mabe was hounded out of the anti-Zuma youth league — straight into the hands of the "elders" running the second-term campaign.
Mangaung came, and Mr Mabe now finds himself on the national executive committee — as senior as it gets. He is not the only younger leader in the executive, however. Former youth league spokesman Zizi Kodwa, an ardent Zuma aide, also broke onto the committee for the first time.
Mr Kodwa, at 42, joins his age contemporary, Malusi Gigaba, on this committee. Mr Gigaba, now Minister of Public Enterprises, has been rubbing shoulders with the party's top brass for the past 10 years. He is a former president of the youth league. He was the star performer at Mangaung, coming in as the second-most popular in the votes for the 80 additional members of the 86-member body, when the "top six" officials, including the president, are taken into account. He was second only to Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who came first.
What this means is that Ms Dlamini-Zuma was the most popular fair and square. But when the gender ruler is put in the middle, Mr Gigaba emerges as the most popular male. Mr Kodwa is likely set for senior government "deployment" after next year's elections, as senior government leaders are mainly chosen from the executive.
He was one of the key operators in Mr Zuma's Mangaung campaign, running things on the ground, linking with the branches, which is where it matters most.
The ANC, a generally conservative organisation, tries to manage its internal elections, ticking all the boxes, from gender, to age, and ideology. It is a long list of boxes, but the youth aspect often suffers from the party's slant towards ageism. To ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe, experience and wisdom that come with age is key.
"Obviously the older the organisation, the older the composition of the leadership, because it is the time-tested and tried leaders who get elected. With people who have been in the ANC for a long time, there is more confidence they will be capable, and the younger people are in the collective of 86 in this case," he says.
The ANC's orientation towards the younger voter — with about 3-million being eligible to vote for the first time next year — is at the back of many minds. Leaders of the opposition Democratic Alliance feel that they are better placed to cash in on the "born frees", who have no first-hand experience of legislated apartheid.
But the ANC is not about to give up on this segment, with its leaders finding ways to relate to the younger voter and citizen. South Africa has one of the youngest populations in the world, with those under the age of 39 making up the majority of the country's population of 52-million. But 40-year-olds — the prime age in many a business — are considered too young to make it into the ANC's "top six".
The ANC seems quite a way still from embracing the idea of younger leadership. Nobody born after 1950 has been president of the party. In fact, the past two presidents after Nelson Mandela — Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma — were both born in 1942.
After the Polokwane conference six years ago, Fikile Mbalula — a colourful and energetic youthful leader — was one of the stars of the ANC show, running the blitz programme that saved the party from a disappointing performance in the 2009 elections.
But he fell by the wayside in Mangaung, when unchecked ambition and poor calculation saw him unsuccessfully take on Mr Mantashe for the position of secretary-general. As a result, he fell from all senior leadership structures, leaving the likes of Mr Kodwa in the thick of things.

Our View: Thumbs up for Union City's resilience
Going forward: Union City has weathered a lot of tough times in recent years, including the loss of many jobs when businesses closed up shop.
But this community's resilient spirit became evident again in the way people responded after a tornado caused major damage on the evening of May 28.
In May 2012, former and current Union City residents, responding to an idea pitched on Facebook, came together for Paint the Town. This project spruced up storefronts and turned a vacant lot into a park. Now Union City's Facebook page has also served to recruit volunteers to help clean up properties and haul away debris from the tornado. "Strangers, even, came and helped," says Jaime Olmstead, who accepted help at her home, where 11 trees were toppled. "This really is a wonderful town," she says.
Erie County emergency officials also came to the borough's aid by providing a temporary communications system when Union City's radio communications tower blew off the roof of the police station.
Goodwill agents: The Erie Ambassadors program graduated 32 participants, a record, on May 28 in a ceremony at the Erie Yacht Club. Our community can always use more advocates to talk up Erie's many assets and now there are more than 500 official Erie Ambassadors.
The Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership began the Erie Ambassadors program almost 10 years ago. Sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, the program teaches people who live and work in Erie about our history and trains them in how to promote our region. In nine sessions, participants tour historic buildings, various neighborhoods, Erie's waterfront, entertainment venues, industries, business parks and Highmark Caring Place, which serves grieving children. They also learn about specialized university programs.
Erie Ambassadors is offered twice a year. For more information, visit www.eriepa.com or call Cathy Noble at 454-7191, Ext. 146.
Pumped up: Penn State Behrend engineering students, alumni and faculty participated again in the international Supermileage competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The competition took place Thursday and Friday at Eaton Corp.'s test track in Marshall, Mich., and Behrend's entrants had good reason to be charged up -- the Behrend team took first place in 2012.
All of the entries are sleek, single-passenger vehicles that use small four-cycle engines to get maximum fuel efficiency. Behrend's entry was built to get as much as 3,500 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Kudos to Lord Corp., Merit Tool Co. and SKF for sponsoring Behrend's team. Passenger comfort isn't a priority, but motorists will appreciate any practical applications that might flow from this competition in the future.
Flag wavers: Bob Zawadzki urges Erie residents to fly "Don't give up the ship" flags during the Perry 200 celebration this summer. Oliver Hazard Perry had "Don't give up the ship" stitched onto a flag that he carried into the Battle of Lake Erie. They are the last words of his friend, Capt. James Lawrence, who was killed in a naval battle on June 1, 1813. The flag should be flown below your American flag.
We also appreciate Mark Steg's suggestions in a June 1 op-ed column to spark interest in collecting and selling Perry-related memorabilia during the bicentennial. He even coined a word for these collectibles: "Ericana." Perhaps local gift shops will take up and promote his idea. It sounds like a good way to attract tourists as the Perry 200 celebration continues with the Spirit of Erie pageant June 25-30, the four Fourth of July fireworks shows, the Tall Ships Erie Festival Sept. 5-8 and many other events.
Rip-roaring problem: The banners hung along West 12th Street for the Perry 200 Grand Parade on May 25 were a bright idea. They showed the American ships (in blue) and the British ships (in red) from the Battle of Lake Erie. But strong winds took a toll on many of the banners, tearing the fabric of the ships outlined on the banners.
The banners have all been removed now, as the Perry 200 committee intended after the parade. The frayed banners were starting to detract from the main corridor into the city of Erie.

Creating a Fruit Loop Rainbow is a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with your little one! Thanks to Toucan Sam all the colors you need can be found in his box of cereal to complete a rainbow! This was a perfect activity for my son because it worked on his fine motor skills, reviewed his colors and matching skills, as well as encouraged perseverance to finish a longer task than normal. Little Brother helped a little, but he was much more interested in eating them than making a rainbow!
Fruit Loop Rainbow
1. First, I drew a rainbow for him to use as a guide for creating his rainbow.
2. Next, my husband worked with him reviewing his colors by giving him a Fruit Loop and asking him to place it on the matching line. This was a great start to get him thinking about the colors and matching them before we began gluing!
3. When we were ready to complete the rainbow, we had him begin and with smallest section and put a line of glue on the color for him to place the Fruit Loops onto.
4. We continued and encouraged him to persevere when he got tired towards the end. We shared with him that in order to create something beautiful sometimes you have to work hard even when you get tired and emphasized the importance of finishing something that you start.
5. He completed it and was VERY proud of his hard work! To celebrate he wanted to eat a bowl of Fruit Loops cereal (with milk) he emphasized.
6. Finally, the teacher in me wanted to see what a rainbow looked like through his eyes so I asked him to draw "his rainbow". (I always love to see children's drawings especially when you know what it is they are really attempting to draw!) Here is his rainbow:

Goose Creek Police Chief Harvey Becker is calling on all Goose Creek area residents to join the St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital Making a Difference for St. Jude Bike-A-Thon slated for Saturday, April 12, beginning at 9 a.m. at the lake and hiker biker trail behind Goose Creek City Hall.
Riders are needed for this bike-a-thon to raise funds for the world-famous research center in its battle against childhood cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.
Were looking for riders of all ages who will contribute their time and talent to help children live. We really need lots of riders, since they are the ones who can make this Bike-A-Thon successful, Becker said.
Riders ask sponsors to make a donation based on each mile completed. Riders who raise $35 will receive a St. Jude T-shirt. Those who raise $75 will receive a St. Jude Sling Tote. Riders who raise $150 or more receive a St. Jude On-the-Go Blanket.
Prizes are cumulative.
The real prize, though, is the pride everyone can take in giving children a chance to live a normal life, Becker said.
Since the hospital opened in 1962 close to 150 children and families from South Carolina have received treatment from St. Jude. Currently, more than 40 children from South Carolina are receiving treatment from St. Jude.
Contact Chief Becker at 863-5200 ext. 2309 for details on riding, sponsoring a rider or making a donation. Rider sponsor forms are available at the Goose Creek Police Department.
St. Jude Hospital was founded by the late Danny Thomas, and operates primarily from public support.

[QUOTE=iniQuity]I'd just like to state that both pro-gun and anti-gun people are stupid assholes. [/QUOTE]
definitely agree...though i know i'm usually considered anti-gun. i've been shooting since i was a kid (cop/hunter father); i'm just anti-murder.
though, not on the rug, i disagree that people have to pick sides on issues. i think that happens most of the time, and it's easier for people to do that. i think most people are centrists at heart, but for debate/reporting/etc. purposes minor differences land people in the same group as extremist thinkers. so now we mostly fight about ideas rather than talk about them. for the past few years i've been trying to be someone who can keep the conversation going...off the internet, that is.
[QUOTE=not on the rug;1035126]
its sad to me that the real issues of this situation (mental illness/bad parenting/etc) will be swept under the rug by some suit with an agenda trying to make it even harder for me to purchase a new hunting deer rifle, so that the streets can be so much safer. as it is in nj, anyone convicted of a domestic dispute can't purchase, anyone who has ever had a restraining order against them can't purchase, anyone guilty of an assault can't purchase, and anyone who has ever been an inpatient in a mental treatment facility can't purchase. background checks are done, fingerprinting is done, etc. i have no problem with any of that. but that can't stop a crazy person from stealing my guns, killing me and then using my guns against other people. as was the case in connecticut[/QUOTE]
i've been hearing only whispers about mental health, but they seem to be getting louder. it's too bad; that part really needs to be talked about more.
last i read, the only bill being proposed is a non-retroactive ban on assault weapons and big clips. i'm sure it will look a lot different by the time it actually get's discussed, but it seems pretty nonrestricitive right now. it's still not addressing the more important issue though.

You are What You Eat: Using Stable Isotopes to Trace Dietary Shifts in Ancient African Hebivores
Today, the stereotypical image of eastern Africa features immense stretches of grasslands, dotted by herds of huge herbivores, chewing their way across the plains. It seems like a timeless scene, the world's last glimpse of what it was like when megafauna spanned the globe.
In actuality, these wide grasslands are an extremely recent feature in the region's history. There isn't solid evidence of animals consuming C4 plants until a scanty 10 million years ago (mya), and grasslands did not become widespread until the late Pliocene and Pleistocene. This recent birth of what is now a dominant feature of the landscape brings to mind many important questions. Specifically, after C4 plants started to become a food source in the Oligocene, how long did it take different herbivore species to adapt to eating this new type of greenery? Which species were early adopters, and which made the most complete shift from C3 to C4 plants? The process of adapting to a new resource—the relatively young C4 plants—had profound effects on community ecology of eastern Africa, as it provided new ways for large herd animals to both exploit new food sources and partition resources in order to facilitate coexistence and/or higher densities.
First, a bit of review, please bear with me for this recapt of plant metabolism: what is the difference between a C3 and a C4 plant? The main distinction lies in 1) the enzyme used to fix CO2 during photosynthesis, and 2) the organic molecules that are the first products of the process. The enzyme used by C3 plants, RuBisCO, is not all that suitable for photosynthesis in hot, dry climates, because as temperatures warm, it incorporates more and more oxygen, which, through some chemical wizardry beyond the scope of this post, results in a high rate of water loss. C4 plants use a more desert-friendly method, isolating RuBisCO in special bundle sheath cells and using a more efficient enzyme, PEP carboxylase, to do the initial carbon fixation and shuttle the products to the sequestered RuBisCO for further reactions. Notably, C4 plants also run through photosynthesis at a rate about 6 times faster than C3 plants. The take home message of all of this is that C4 plants are better adapted to dry climates, although about 95% of all plants on earth still use C3 photosynthesis.
In general, in Uno et al. (2011), a diet of C4 plants is considered to indicate grazing (mostly grasses), and a diet of C3 plants indicates browsing from higher foliage (shrubs and trees).
Now the significance of all of that chemistry, for the purposes of tracking animal diets, is that stable isotope analysis can distinguish between C3 and C4 vegetation, due to different ratios of heavy to light carbon isotopes in the different types of plants. This means that, given a tissue sample from an animal (anything tissue, from blood to bone), one can look at the ratios of different carbon isotopes and determine the relative proportion of the animal's diet comprised of either C3 or C4 plants. The basic gist of dietary stable isotope analysis is "you are what you eat"; your diet determines the chemical composition of your tissues, even millions of years after your death. This is useful for answering all sorts of questions, ranging from comparisons of interspecies dietary overlap to tracking intraspecies (or even intraindividual) changes in foraging patterns over time and/or ontogeny. All of which makes stable isotope analysis an ideal tool to elucidate the relative rates and degrees to which different species adapted to a new food source, such as the case of African herbivores once C4 grasses evolved in eastern Africa.
Previous studies have shown that herbivores started to consume C4 plants around 10 mya (Quade et al. 1992), but further work was needed to untangle exactly how the process happened over time and between taxa. Thus, a research group led by Kevin Uno at the University of Utah used enamel from fossilized teeth of a variety of east African herbivores to paint us a picture of how, from 10-3 mya, different species responded to the rise of C4 plants and concomitant changes in the local climate. Their findings give us significant new insights into the impact that climate change and shifting landscape ecology had on the diets of local large herbivores.
So, fairly straightforward, and here is what we learned for the different taxonomic groups:
It appears that equids, ancestors of the modern zebra, made a fast and dramatic shift, becoming the first of the taxa to switch over to a diet of primarily grass (C4) plants, sometime between 9.9 and 7.4 mya, becoming specialists on C4s and staying that way all the way up to today.
Bovids (ancestors of today's gazelles, wildebeest, and cape buffalo) and ancestral rhinos were also fairly early adopters, beginning the switch to grass around 9.6 mya. They did not come to prefer C4s as exclusively as the equids did, however; some bovid species continued to have mixed or primarily C3 diets up to the 3 mya point that bookended this analysis. This heterogeneity is interesting, because it may have helped to facilitate species diversity within the family by reducing dietary overlap between sympatric species. It is notable that the Bovidae has become, by far, the most diverse herbivore family in Africa, an evolutionary accomplishment that may have been facilitated by this dietary niche partitioning.
In comparison to the rapid rate at which equids and bovids became consumers of the new C4 plants, ancestors of modern elephants (elephantids and the extinct gomphotheres) did not start to transition over to grasses until about 7.4 mya. Interestingly, the groups appear to have been grazers until only a million years or so ago, and yet now our only remaining members of this line, the African and Asian elephants, eat mostly trees and shrubs (C3). Another slight twist to the story is that the deinotheriids, also related to the elephant lineages, never showed any sign of switching to C4s. These behemoths were the second largest land mammal known to science, with males weighing up to ten tons. It is interesting to contemplate whether this extreme size was a limiting factor when it came to adopting a novel food resource, as extreme size is known to constrain dietary niche breadth in carnivorous mammals (see my previous post for more discussion on that). And in case you're wondering, the gomphotheres were grouped with the elephantids in the analysis due to similarity of tooth morphology, apparently not shared to the same degree with the deinotheriids.
Ancient suids, forebears of modern warthogs and bushpigs, took quite a while to decide they liked the new vegetation, not showing signs of C4 in their diets until between 6.5 and 4.2 mya, and even then maintaining the consumption of both C3 and C4 plants.
Although the just-so story about giraffes having long necks in order to reach high foliage is not accurate (mutations and natural selection don't happen with a future goal in mind), they did remain faithful to their treetop foraging strategy, and the data show that giraffids have been consistent tree browsers throughout the fossil record.
Morphological changes amongst these taxa appear to support the conclusions drawn from isotopic ratios. For example, during the period in which their carbon signatures were shifting, equids show a shift from the sharp, slicing cusps of browsers (which feed on C3 shrubs and trees) to the blunt, grinding dental cusps that are characteristic of modern grazers. Using several methods of analysis (morphological, biochemical, climatological, etc) creates the potential for an extremely robust set of conclusions, and stable isotope analysis is a powerful method to have in such a toolbox.
One limitation to the study is that samples from different sites did not necessarily overlap in time, meaning that the difference in carbon signatures could be due to either climate (temperature, precipitation, etc), geography (elevation and latitude) , composition of vegetation, or some combination of these factors. Keep in mind that it was not until very recently on the geological time scale that the climate in eastern Africa created overwhelmingly vast swaths of grassland; prior to that it would have been a patchier resource. The authors acknowledge this limitation and point out that the results are best utilized as a complement to other types of analysis, as metnioned above.
This study by Uno et al. is a great example of how stable isotopes can be applied to the study of many facets of ecology. With just small samples from the teeth of long-dead mammals, we can trace the shift of one ecosystem type to another, and construct a valuable timeline of how and when different taxa responded to the introduction and subsequent proliferation of a novel food resource. The implications of this for the community ecology of the region may very well underlie the patterns of biodiversity that we see amongst the herds of herbivores roaming these plains in the present day

WCO Report Reviews Compliance under Trade-Related MEAs
28 June 2013: The World Customs Organization (WCO) released its annual Illicit Trade Report, which for the first time presents information across five thematic areas in one publication and recognizes the linkages among illicit trade in different commodities. Among its six chapters, the Report features an Environment Section that reviews compliance with the main multi-lateral environment agreements (MEAs) with international trade-related provisions.
The Report dedicates ten pages to the analysis of seizures under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The publication notes that since customs serves as a border-enforcement agency, it plays an important role in the implementation of the CITES Convention. According to the Report, with support from the CITES Secretariat, INTERPOL and the Lusaka Agreement Task Force (LATF) and the joint efforts of 41 customs administrations, more than 2,200 items were seized. The operation, called HOPE targeted air and maritime consignments, as well as passengers. The Report also notes specifically Project GAPIN (Great Apes and Integrity), which aims to raise awareness of the illegal international trade in wildlife and related corruption among customs officers. Now in its second phase (GAPIN II), the project has expanded its focus to other species as well.
In its section on timber, the Report highlights efforts undertaken to curb illegal trade in timber species, citing that deforestation caused by illegal logging is a major contributor to climate change.
In the section on the Basel Convention, which regulates the trans-boundary movement of hazardous and other wastes, the Report notes different efforts undertaken to combat the illegal trade in these environmentally sensitive goods, including Operations Demeter I and II, with the latter targeting maritime shipments.
With Regard to the Montreal Protocol, the Report features the project Sky-Hole-Patching, which has 21 participating customs organizations and in 2012, reported 20 seizures. Finally, noting the Minamata Convention on Mercury, the Report says that since the Convention will regulate movements across international borders, its effective implementation by customs will be essential for ensuring compliance.

ISLE OF PALMS Spring breakers were happy to find additional free public parking available Wednesday on 8th Avenue, but city officials said the situation was expected to be short-lived and end today.
The west shoulder of 8th Avenue between Ocean Boulevard and Carolina Avenue has been a no-parking zone.
However, on Tuesday night, the city took away signs telling people not to park there.
That meant Sonya House of Summerville could leave her car on the west shoulder of 8th Avenue near Ocean Boulevard to enjoy a cloudless day at the beach with her kids on Wednesday.
That is nice, she said of the change. I just like it because its farther out from the crowds of people. It just seems a little more private down here.
However, police will install new no-parking signs at the location sometime today, said Town Administrator Linda Tucker.
The situation happened in part because someone put up about a half-dozen unofficial no-parking signs on the road shoulder. It came to the attention of the city on Tuesday, which took down the signs later that night, Tucker said.
She said she did not know who put up the unofficial signs telling people they could not park on the west shoulder of the road. She looked at the signs on Tuesday and noticed that they were attached to nonmetal posts with zip-ties rather than bolts.
Tucker speculated that someone took down the official no-parking signs, which resulted in the new unofficial signs being erected.
Even though an area such as the west shoulder of 8th Avenue is officially a no-parking zone, property owners cannot post their own signs in a state-owned right of way, Tucker said.
Across the street, about 60 yards of the east shoulder of the avenue was landscaped by a homeowner in a way that affected public parking.
The homeowner said it was done for safety reasons. Surfers said it deprived them of a longtime favorite parking place. The state and the homeowner are working out a compromise.
The situation is part of the citys ongoing effort to address its summer parking issues. Residents have complained about unruly beachgoers, which has prompted City Council to consider new restrictions on parking. So far, nothing has been decided.
Among the options under consideration is a $65 seasonal pass for those who wish to park on streets outside the commercial area from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from March through September.
If approved, up to 1,000 of the passes would be issued starting in 2013.
Hundreds of pay parking spaces are available in the city commercial district not far from 8th Avenue, but visitors often choose to leave their cars on neighborhood roadsides for free.

Scholar and Who fan Miles Booy has written the first historical account of the public interpretation of Doctor Who. Love and Monsters begins in 1979 with the publication of 'Doctor Who Weekly', the magazine that would start a chain of events that would see creative fans taking control of the merchandise and even of the programme's massively successful twenty-first century reboot. From the twilight of Tom Baker's years to the newest Doctor, Matt Smith, Miles Booy explores the shifting meaning of Doctor Who across the years - from the Third Doctor's suggestion that we should read the Bible, via costumed fans on television, up to the 2010 general election in Britain. This is also the story of how the ambitious producer John Nathan-Turner, assigned to the programme in 1979, produced a visually-excessive programme for a tele-literate fanbase, and how this style changed the ways in which Doctor Who could be read. The Doctor's world has never been bigger, inside or out!
Miles Booy studied film, television and literature at the College of St Mark and St John in Plymouth, before doing post-graduate work in cinema at the University of East Anglia. He lives in Stafford with his wife and son.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The first month of the season was one to forget for the Cavs.
The Cavs were 5-12, with seven losses by double digits. They had a team meeting following a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They managed just one win away from Quicken Loans Arena.
But since the calendar flipped to December, things are starting to come together. Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer believes the Cavs are improving. Now 8-13, winners of four of five, they have crawled back up the standings. In a way-too-early-look at the playoff picture, Cleveland is a half game away from the final spot in the Eastern Conference.
A weekend a trip to Florida awaits and it will be a chance for the Cavs to really prove their progress. Winning at home (7-3) hasn't been an issue. Winning on the road (1-10) is another story. The Cavs will play the Orlando Magic on Friday and the Miami Heat on Saturday.
Do you believe the Cavs are turning the corner? Are they improving? Have you bought back into this team as a possible playoff contender? Share your thoughts and reasons why in the comments section below.

I was saddened and disgusted at the political cartoon in the Sept. 11 Amarillo Globe-News.
The cartoon was of President Bush receiving a "Happy Anniversary" from Osama bin Laden for 9/11.
I'm sure the artist will hide behind the First Amendment and claim that his true intention was to "make people think."
However, just because you can draw something doesn't mean you should.
9/11 should be a time to remember one of the darkest days in our country's past and to reflect on how precious life truly is. It's a time where we can all unite, regardless of political affiliations, race, gender, or whatever, and all just be Americans.
We can think proudly of how our country fought back from that horrible incident with a sense of togetherness and strength.
Instead, the cartoonist decided to make light of all of that and take a pot shot at President Bush. It takes a pretty despicable person to use an event such as 9/11 to prove some kind of perverse political point.
The First Amendment gives incredible power to the media. With that power comes great responsibility and the need to make respectful decisions.
This cartoon went beyond the bounds of what is acceptable.

In an effort to boost tourism numbers that have fallen dramatically since last year's earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster, Japan's tourism agency is proposing a campaign that offers up 10,000 free roundtrip tickets.
Travelers interested in the free tickets would apply online, detail travel plans and agree to post a review of the trip online through blogs and social media sites. Accommodations and meals would be your own dime, but based on current ticket prices -- the free flight would save at least $1000.
The campaign and website are not live yet. According to reports, the anticipated start date would be in April 2012. We'll be keeping an eye on this story as it develops.
Stay tuned!

Well. That was embarrassing.
After many pundits, myself included, predicted a tight match to take place between the two league leaders, Manchester City put United to the torch and lambasted them to the tune of 6 goals to 1. Adding insult to injury was young red-carded Jonny Evans showing, once again, that his place in the first team's defense is tenuous at best.
To be fair to the Irishman, not many of United's vaunted superstars really showed up to play. Rio Ferdinand was shambolic despite being relied so heavily upon in place of the (mysteriously) absent Nemanja Vidic. David De Gea, so solid in recent games, looked shell-shocked. Anderson left his midfield partner Darren Fletcher hanging high and dry on a number of occasions.
And even Wayne Rooney, who honestly looked like the only United player who wanted to win, was ineffective.
But perhaps, as a number of other writers on Bleacher Report have indicated, this is a blessing in disguise for both the club and fans.
The early season success created an atmosphere of invincibility around the "aura" of Manchester United. In doing so, several holes were masked just waiting for a top side to expose them. And with all due respect to Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, City was the only team in the Premier League who could have driven the point home.
With the possibility of facing Barcelona down the line, still leagues ahead of City at this point, Sir Alex must now sit down and assess his squad with their deficiencies brought into so much focus.
With that in mind, here are 10 players Sir Alex must bring in. Note, I'm not advocating bringing in all of them at once. By playing around with his system and personnel, only a couple of these reinforcements would be necessary. I'm just going to illustrate possibilities based on what he could do.
Also, United needs help now. So even though the team is linked to a number of youngsters with potential, I'm limiting this list to players who can make an impact right away.
I am also trying to keep it somewhat realistic, mileage may vary, so no 100,000,000 bids for the likes of Lionel Messi or Ronaldo, and no return engagements for Gerard Pique and Giuseppe Rossi.

Top with half the ham, artichoke hearts, herbs, and cheese. Pour half of cream mixture over tart. Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients. Bake uncovered until firm in the center and brown around the edges, about 1 hour. Serves 8.
In a blender, combine the garlic clove, lemon juice, hoisin sauce, red pepper flakes, and white pepper. Purée until smooth. Marinate the shrimp for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the lime juice, honey, and salt and toss into the salad. Cook the shrimp in a non-stick pan with marinade for 2 to 3 minutes; it's done when it turns pink. Mound the shrimp in the middle of the salad and place the quartered tomatoes around the edges of the bowl. Garnish with basil, peanuts, and red pepper flakes. Makes 4 servings.

DeMarcus Cousins has been reinstated effective immediately, the Sacramento Kings announced Monday.
The center was suspended indefinitely after being benched for the second half of the team's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday.
However, Cousins practiced with the Kings on Monday. No further specifics were released by the team.
Cousins is in his third NBA season. He averages a team-high 16.6 points and 9.5 rebounds a game.
