Alan Gregg, friend and supporter of Franz Alexander, has written that "one of the assets of youth is to feel incomplete, one of the charms of youth is to seem incomplete, and the overwhelming truth about youth is that it is incomplete..... it requires no apology.....for in incompleteness there is promise." This sense of incompleteness characterized Franz Alexander, the interminably youthful man. He was always searching for new horizons, new ideas, never satisfied to stop. He was creative and colorful, productive and provocative, courageous and controversial, vital and pioneering. Conceptually broad and not detail bound, his style reflected his way of life. Many papers can be written about Alexander the psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, Alexander the researcher and innovator, Alexander the educator and teacher, Alexander the philosopher and theoretician, and Alexander the person.

Sorry about the parent issues. That is seriously tough. Especially when you could use real support from them.

Nevada County's state representatives offered reaction Thursday to Gov. Jerry Brown's budget proposal that indicated the state of California is emerging into a more financially positive period.
Brown on Thursday proposed a $97.6 billion general fund budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year that wipes out years of deficits and even includes a modest surplus, while increasing spending by nearly $5 billion.
The additional revenue hiked the spending plan by 5 percent over the current year and helps the governor pour more money into public schools and universities.
The state's budget shortfall stood at $25 billion when Brown took office two years ago.
"California today is poised to achieve something that has eluded us for more than a decade — a budget that lives within its means, now and for many years to come," Brown said during a news conference at the Capitol.
Prior to the budget conference, Brown used his personal Twitter account to relay the following message:
"Fiscal discipline is not the enemy of democratic governance, but rather its fundamental predicate."
In other words, fiscal discipline is the basis for democracy, not its opponent.
Assemblyman Brian Dahle joined other Republicans in characterizing the governor of a state that features a legislature with a Democratic supermajority, which became a metaphor for government overspending during the recession as an effective counterweight to the spendthrifts in Sacramento.
"The (Democrats) have all the power, and if the governor is not concerned about it, he should be," Dahle said.
Brown indicated in his speech that he is aware of the Democratic control of both houses.
"And I'm determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors had to deal with," Brown said. "The way you avoid it is by holding the line, by exercising a common sense approach to how we spend our money."
His budget includes a rainy-day fund of $1 billion and even drew cautious praise from Republicans. GOP lawmakers had opposed Brown's tax initiative and had refused to work with him a year earlier to raise taxes in exchange for pension overhauls.
Republican Assemblyman Jeff Gorell of Camarillo called Brown's proposal a "realistic budget framework." He said Republicans would try to ensure that the state's four-year higher education systems do not raise tuition for at least seven years — the length of time the higher income taxes on the wealthy will remain in effect.
Dahle said he was skeptical that Brown's budget will follow through on its intended aims, including restoring funding to California's education system.
Brown said Thursday that he will urge higher education leaders to avoid charging students more after years of runaway tuition hikes. He wants the additional money from the tax hikes focused on public schools. His plan includes $2.7 billion more for K-12 education and community colleges, bringing state and local spending to $56.2 billion.
Among Brown's priorities is creating a new education funding formula.
It would be aimed at giving school districts more control over spending and directing state money to the neediest children and poorest districts.
His proposal is expected to run into opposition from lawmakers representing more affluent regions of the state, but Brown said the state should spend proportionally more on students who have "disproportionate challenges."
"Growing up in Compton or Richmond is not like it is to grow up in Los Gatos or Beverly Hills or Piedmont," he said of his redistribution plan. "It is controversial, but it is right, and it's fair."
Dean Vogel, president of the 325,000-member California Teachers Association, praised the budget.
"On a day when it was announced by an Education Week report that California has dropped two spots to now rank 49th in per-student funding, it's good to see a state budget proposal that begins to turn the tide," Vogel said.
"After years of drastic cuts, it is necessary for the future of our children and the future of California that money owed to students and public education begin to be repaid."
Another Republican, Jim Nielsen, who represents a portion of Nevada County as the District 4 State Senator, praised Brown for dedicating funds to veterans issues.
"I am appreciative of Gov. Brown's proposal to fund veterans homes in Redding and Fresno for the upcoming fiscal year," Nielsen said. "Our veterans have made tremendous sacrifices for our nation. We must continue to support them."
Brown's budget proposal now goes to the Legislature and will be revised in May after the state gets a clearer picture of its tax revenue in the next fiscal year, which starts July 1. Lawmakers have until June 15 to send their own budget plan to the governor.

All that confusion about how 9th graders' grades will be affected by the new End of Course exams? Maybe getting clarified
I wrote about this a while back. About how school districts are scrambling to figure out how to use the new End Of Course exams as 15 percent of the final grade for high school courses. This only affects this year's ninth graders this year. It's massively confusing because most districts seldom use final grades. And there's no easy way to translate the scores they'll be getting from the state on the EOC tests into whatever the local grading system happens to be.
As of today, State Education Commissioner Robert Scott says that districts can put the 15 percent thing on hold for a year. Whether Richardson will choose to do so, we may find out at the board meeting on Monday. Head to the jump to read Scott's letter.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A term the Ying Yang Twins use in most of their songs, they even made a song called Hanh! on Me & My Brother. In the context it's used in the song 'Hanh!', it's used to mean 'no other' or 'a mother (see example 1)' also, in the chorus, it's used to mean 'wtf?!' I think, as far as I can tell, either that or it means 'nag' (see example 2)

But state wildlife officials hope to bolster populations in portions of the state and are launching an ambitious habitat restoration effort to resurrect the sport.
Department of Natural Resources and Environment wildlife chief Russ Mason said rural mail carrier surveys showed pheasant numbers on par with previous few years. Hunters who focus on brushy cover near corn or other food sources will have the highest chance of success.
Those areas, however, have become less common due to modern farming practices and urban sprawl. Both have choked out pheasant habitat and stymied bird numbers since the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Mason said a new Pheasant Restoration Initiative aims to revive the pheasant seasons by devoting large swaths of public and private land to the bird's recovery, then transplanting wild birds from South Dakota to jump-start the process.
The Pheasant Initiative is an attempt by the DNRE, in partnership with Pheasants Forever, the Department of Agriculture and others, to focus funding and personnel on the problem by creating 10,000-acre blocks of habitat using public and private lands, Mason said.
The focus will be a nine-county area that includes Huron, Sanilac, Tuscola, Hillsdale, Lenawee, Monroe, Gratiot, Saginaw and Clinton counties, although some work will be done elsewhere.
"We're working with South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks to get wild pheasants for starter stock," Mason said. "They have agreed to give us pheasants -- as many as we need."
Over-wintering cover will be critical to the project, Mason said.
"The thing we lack is good shelter next to food sources," he said.
Food sources, such as corn, likely will play a role for hunters in this year's season, said Mark Mills, DNRE wildlife technician for the Allegan State Game Area. The crops are being harvested earlier on the game area and private farms.
"We're picking corn already so that we can work to concentrate the birds in the grasslands," Mills said. "It will probably help the hunter more than the birds."
The Fennville Farm Unit, located in the game area, also will not be impacted by goose hunting as in past years. That will open the property to pheasant hunters for the entire season, Mills said.
But private property remains the best place to put a bead on roosters, and Michigan's thumb region is regarded as having some of the best pheasant hunting opportunities in the state.
Grand Rapids resident Wade Seley travels to his family's farm in the thumb each year to comb the woody brush lines. He said the past few seasons have been encouraging.
"The last couple years, you could actually hear pheasants crowing from different directions. There is not a lot of pheasants, but at least you could hear them," Seley said. "It's better, but it's still laughable compared to what it was or some spots out West."

prominent image in the service of Epiphany, and many of the hymns refer to it: "Thou, who hast created the world, art made manifest in the world, to give light to those that sit in darkness. Glory to Thee, who loves mankind."1
Prefiguration of Christ's Death:
As Theophany is the feast of Christ's baptism – and baptism, St. Paul tells us is a baptism into the death of Christ. His Baptism is a prefigurement of His death. Thus the waters of the Jordan become symbolic of Hades. Christ's descent into the waters becomes his descent into Hades where he "leads captivity captive" (Ephesians 4:8) and sets free those who have been held in bondage to death.2
Blessing of Water:
By blessing the water we acknowledge that Christ in His baptism purified the nature of the waters. He came to redeem not only human beings but, through them, the entire material created world. The waters become the means of healing and grace. But not only waters-any other material thing may be a bearer of the Spirit. No matter can be excluded or considered trivial, "for the redemptive and transforming grace of the Savior extends to all things…."3
The feast of Epiphany thus speaks of the restoration of the pure human image, as well as of all material nature. The true nature of water has its destiny in the salvation of man and the world. Creation "will be set free from its bondage" and will obtain "the glorious liberty of the children of God" (Romans 8:20). All things are to be set aright. They are to be permeated by the light, love, grace, and glory of God. In the feast, the Church reminds its members of the historical character of the Incarnation and the goal of Christian existence: to "become partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4). The verb baptize "AMAD" (in Syriac) means sink, dip, wash, baptize, dye, seclude and hide. This symbolizes the burial of the dead in the tombs as the baptized are buried with Christ to rise up with him in the new life.
Road to Calvary:
The day of the Epiphany is the day when the whole world is being renewed and becomes a partaker of the holiness of God. But at the same time, it is the day when Christ enters on the way to Calvary. He came to John the Baptist on Jordan, not in order to be cleansed, because he was pure of sin. Christ did not need cleansing. But by entering the waters of Jordan, Lord Jesus Christ merges Himself on that day, taking upon Himself the mortality resulting from the sin of man. He vests Himself with the mortality of the sinful world. This is the beginning of the way to Calvary. This is a day when we marvel at the infinite love of God.
Let us therefore today wonder and marvel, and worship this love of God. kul-khun 'ammé, taw nebruk w'nesghud leh (All you people, let us bow and worship him). Amen!

Erin Brockovich
Did I not already see this film a little over a year ago, when it was called "A Civil Action" and starred John Travolta instead of Julia Roberts? Oh wait, my mistake: "A Civil Action" was the story of a lawyer suing a corporation for poisoning a town's water, while "Erin Brockovich" is the story of an unemployed, badly-dressed woman suing a corporation for poisoning a town's water. Completely different.
Actually, Erin's not really the one suing the corporation -- she's just working for a scraggly lawyer named Ed Masry (Albert Finney) who's suing the corporation. As much as this is the story of a town getting justice, it's the story of a woman who reinvents herself by doing good. It's one of those stories everybody's got to love, right? Wrong.
Look, I feel bad for people with diseases or whose kids are born with two heads, but when every single person in your town comes down with cancer or genital warts the size of chipmunks, and the industrial plant up the block suddenly starts insisting there's nothing wrong with the water, don't you start to think that maybe -- just maybe -- there's something wrong with the damn water? Are people really that naïve? Personally, if I find out that some big company has given me an incurable disease because they poisoned my water to increase "shareholder value," that company's executives had better seriously consider wearing flak jackets to their next board meeting.
You might keep an eye out for the real Erin Brockovich, who plays a waitress in a short scene at the beginning of the film. She serves the fake Erin and her two fake kids some breakfast with a look of abject horror that's not exactly apropos for a waitress. I believe it's called the "if I knew Julia Roberts was going to be playing me in the movie version of my life, I would have just drunk the water too" look.

"The barristers and staff of Doughty Street Chambers offer their best wishes and congratulations to Ms. Amal Alamuddin, a member of Chambers, and Mr. George Clooney on their engagement to be married," the firm said in a statement on Monday.
Alamuddin, 36, joined the firm in 2010 and later became a member of its international law team. The chief executive of the firm, Robin Jackson, added his personal congrats as well.
"She brings a bright light to everything she is involved in," he said. "And I am so delighted at her happy news."
Clooney's mother, Nina, was reportedly excited over her son's engagement as well. "'You can say I'm extremely happy, Amal's a lovely girl,'" she told the U.K.'s Daily Mail. "We weren't at all surprised when they told us they were engaged, and we couldn't be happier for them."
While a rep for Clooney, 52, has yet to confirm the engagement, a source close to the situation says the actor and Alamuddin are just trying to keep things "very low-key."
"I think it's like they want the people they love to know that this is real," the source says. "That they plan on being together forever."

Extra SATA drive-Best way to utilize?
I'm running 64 Studio testing, with everything fairly up to date. My PC hardware is not latest and greatest, but very adequate for what I do (mostly Ardour). It is a dual-core AMD 4200 with 2 gig of RAM, and several drives. I run Jack at 2.18 ms latency, but have an IRQ conflict that I know I need to sort out, I get some x-runs. I got an additional SATA drive, and wonder what the collective wisdom thinks is the best way to use it for better performance. Here is the current drive layout: 80 gig IDE for / (includes swap) 320 gig SATA for /home 320 gig SATA for /data (where the music goes) Replacing the 80 gig IDE with the SATA will obviously help with OS-specific stuff. However, I remember reading about an option in Ardour for a sort of software RAID, where you can specify two drives for each project to go on. In reading about this in recent years, it seems it was deprecated. Adding the extra SATA as a data2 directory would surely help if I could get that going. Doing real RAID is an option, but one that I don't look forward to. My network connection is dialup, and re-installing and re-updating everything is not a pleasant thought. Suggestions?

Does Religion Affect Stock Markets and Institutional Investor Behavior?

Socially responsible (SR) investing based on religious beliefs is experiencing robust growth. While the prior literature has related investment behavior to investors' religious backgrounds, whether a religious authority's stock preferences affect equity markets is far less understood. In this paper we study the relevance of a well known religiously motivated stock index, the MSCI US Catholic Values Index (CV400), which is based on opinions of the Catholic Church, to stock market activity and to mutual fund manager behavior. We examine the price and comovement effects of additions and deletions to the index and hypothesize that fund managers located in predominantly Catholic regions (1) show preferences for CV400 stocks relative to the rest of the market and (2) actively trade on changes to the index. We find that generally, CV400 index changes have no impact on constituent stocks' prices and comovement with their index peers. Catholic managers tilt more towards CV400 stocks than Protestant managers. However, Catholic managers only actively trade in reaction to index changes instigated by a religious authority in a similar manor as they trade in stocks with corresponding financial characteristics. Taken together, our results suggest that institutional investors value the SR attribute of a stock only if the asset would have been chosen on its financial merits alone.

At Budget Meetings, Policy Decisions Few Voters Notice
Next month, the Legislative Budget Board will meet to choose a growth rate, the kind of fascinating government business that made it so tempting for some of us to ditch civics class in high school. The rate will be a limit on how much the state budget will be allowed to grow during the next two years.
Some of this is pure process, but stick around — process can bleed into policy, and affecting one can decide the other.
When lawmakers meet in January, they'll decide pretty quickly just how big the current budget will be. You'd think that was ...

Emmy Nomination Preview 2013 - Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy
It took seven nominees to fill this category last year
Julia Louis-Dreyfus of 'Veep'
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep"
Nomination Status: Last year's winner will be back.
In Her Favor: All Julia Louis-Dreyfus does is get nominated for and win Emmys. Last year's win for "Veep" was her third win for her third different show and I think her overall nomination total is up to 13? I didn't love the way the second season of "Veep" began, but after a couple bumpy episodes, it's been getting better and better. Things may be getting rougher for VP Selina Meyer, but that just means that the Armando Iannucci dialogue has become profanely frustrated as opposed to... well... whatever other shades of awesome profanity he wants his characters to spew. The season's penultimate episode, with the glass door smashing and the anti-depressants is probably her submission episode, unless the previous week's episode with the TV interview was.
Working Against Her: Interestingly, Julia Louis-Dreyfus may have one Emmy for each of three shows, but she hasn't won a second Emmy for any of them. I'm not sure if that's going to change, but she'll be in the hunt at the very least.

ill be playing it shortly, woohoo! im seeing a lot more good reviews about the game now people are getting used to it. ign uk gave it 8/10..much better than the 1st ign review. think it was a 5 or 6. Is the multi player decent?
8/10 for me.
A lot of people say the multiplayers crap. It only has 4 maps, but me an my buddie's had a blast. Yelling and screaming all you hear is "OHHH!!!"Originally Posted by drewster2k
I think multi player is rubbish, 4 maps and there rubbish. Either too big or too small, mind you im used to FPS's multi player being like halo.
Why were you shouting 'OHHH!!!'?Originally Posted by Zori
It sounds very sexual.
I bought it yesterday. I was expecting to be dissapointed because of all the bad reviews, but it wasn't too bad. The voice acting is terrible, they got the same guy to voice all the bad guys so they al sound the same, even the black guys sound white :P The levels get a bit tedious and the design is pretty stupid. I mean, why the hell would they introduce grenades in a level thats mostly tiny tunnels. I kept killing my self cos the grenades kept bouncing off the ceiling and hittin me :P
The controls are pretty good and the sword fighting is bette tahn i expected. The graphics aren't too bad either. There are some beautiful bits, and some very ugly bits.
All in all i'd give it 7.5/10
It can be challenging sometimes but I think it is really fun. 8.5/10
Check this out:
Well, the last FPS i had has Goldeneye 64.
So, Red Steel is pretty good.
Though I'm not too impressed with the sword fights, but maybe 'cause I just wanna blast the bad guys @.@
The controls aren't too bad, actually. But I didn't play much FPS before.
I havn't played multiplayer yet, need more wiimotes! (I had two, broke one (sesnor, not physical. My parents went to return it, but there were no wiimotes to return it with!)
I havn't got to the grenades part, I been stuck on Zelda...
Not as in I'm having trouble, just as I can't...Stop..Playing..
That turtle has a brief case. It must be going to work. I hope it has a good day.

California Solar Initiative
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Solar power in California. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2015.
California Solar Initiative is a renewable energy program in the United States.
As part of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Million Solar Roofs Program, California has set a goal to create 1,940 megawatts[1] of new, solar-produced electricity by 2016 — moving the state toward a cleaner energy future and helping lower the cost of solar systems for consumers.
The California Solar Initiative has "a total budget of $2.167 billion between 2007 and 2016 and a goal to install approximately 1,940 MW of new solar generation capacity." [2]
The CSI initially offered cash incentives on solar PV systems of up to $2.50 per AC watt. These incentives, combined with federal tax incentives, could cover up to 50% of the total cost of a solar system. The incentive program was designed so that the incentives would reduce in steps based on the amount of solar installed in each of 6 categories. There are separate steps for residential and non-residential customers in the territories of each of the State's 3 investor-owned utilities. As of July 2012, the rebates range from $0.20 to $0.35 per AC watt for residential and commercial systems and from $0.70 to $1.10 for systems for non-profits and government entities.[2]
There are many financial incentives to support the use of renewable energy in other US states.[3]
CSI provides more than $2 billion worth of incentives to customers for installing photovoltaic,[4] and electricity displacing solar thermal[5] systems in the three California Investor-Owned Utilities service territories.
The program was authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and by the Senate Bill 1 (SB 1):
- Decision (D.) 06-01-024, in collaboration with the California Energy Commission, with the goal of installing 3,000 MW of new solar facilities in California's homes and businesses by 2017.
- On August 21, 2006, the Governor signed SB1, which directs the CPUC and the CEC to implement the CSI program consistent with specific requirements and budget limits set forth in legislation.
Responsibility for administration of the CSI Program is shared by Investor-Owned Utilities:
- Pacific Gas and Electric Company – PG&E customers;
- Southern California Edison Company – SCE customers;
- California Center for Sustainable Energy – SDG&E customers.
Residential installation starts in early 2007 fell off sharply in SCE territory because of the disincentives inherent in SB1, requiring time-of-use (TOU) tariffs, with the result that homeowners who install panels may find their electric bill increasing rather than decreasing. The governor and legislature moved quickly to pass AB1714 (June 2007) to delay the implementation of this rule until 2009.

You can call customer service but you have to act like it was your console I had the same problem but you need the serial ID on the back of the sold console and some other information. Without the console it gets real hard.
I eventually got it deactivated cause I gave my old PS3 out to my brother and moved away, it got the YLOD and i deactivated it through customer service this was the UK customer service though.
Also I have playstation plus (add me ryno112) benefits you get are some exclusive DLC (eventually), early access to demo's, DLC, hour long trials to full games (any trophies unlocked during trials will unlock when you buy the full game), theres the discount and free games and stuff, the automatic download feature saves me from saving to wait for ages to download updates when I put in a game. Eventually Party Chat (talking over the mic when playing different games) will be introduced anyone can use it but it must be initiated by a person with playstation Plus, game betas are in the works exclusively for PP+ users and early access is given if the beta isn't exclusive. Theres obviously other stuff that hasn't been introduced just yet.

Playstation Plus is awesome though, I did my homework on it and it will destroy Xbox's Live arcade soon enough, trust and believe when I tell you. for starters they only charge you 50$ for 12 months + 3 free months for 1st timers and they give you free games worth OVER 50$, they got Warhawk, a 20$ game on there for FREE, they got free add on content to discounted games, the add on content be costing up to 10$+ sometimes and you get it free and it's always updated with new free games and add on content, Xbox Live Marketplaces will soon be depleted if Sony keeps thing like this. only 50$ and you get more than 50$ worth in free games and discounts plus all the new features coming? Xbox beware!

The Denkai Animal Sanctuary is seeking donations to help rescue six abandoned horses from being auctioned and possibly slaughtered.
The May 1 auction in Fort Collins is a kill auction, Denkai officials said, and they fear the horses will be sold for slaughter.
In August, the horses — one pregnant at the time — were left to fend for themselves when their owner walked away. They didn't have food or water and chewed tree bark to survive.
A resident in town has since provided feed and care for them but can no longer afford to do so. So the state required them to be listed as strays, and they must be sold at auction after a 10-day hold, which would be Wednesday.
Denkai has been able to provide feed for the past two weeks, thanks to a donation from Oster's Premium Hay of LaSalle.
Denkai is raising money to bail out the now six horses at auction. The estimated cost is $1,500 and, so far, $1,000 has been raised.
If Denkai is able to purchase the horses, they will be cared for at the sanctuary until they can be adopted.
Contributions can be sent to 36710 Weld County Road 126, Grover, CO 80729.

Minnesota state government has officially shut down most operations, putting more than 22,000 people at least temporarily out of work and setting the state into uncharted political waters.
Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican legislative leaders spent weeks talking but could never bridge the fundamental differences over additional taxes.
It's not really clear what happens next, how long the shutdown will last or what long range effects it will have on Minnesota's political landscape. But it's here.
From MPR News reporter Madeleine Baran
With no budget deal in place, the state government shut down at midnight, forcing more than 22,000 state employees out of work, halting highway construction projects and closing state parks and rest stops.
Only the state government functions deemed critical by a Ramsey County judge are continuing as usual.
A shutdown seemed all but certain late Thursday night when Republican legislative leaders and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton broke off negotiations. Both sides showed few outward signs of progress toward closing a $5 billion budget gap for the next two-year budget cycle, which begins Friday.
Dayton and Republican lawmakers held separate news conferences Thursday night. Both sides argued that they were not responsible for the failure to reach a budget agreement.
Dayton blamed Republicans for refusing to accept tax increases to close the state's $5 billion budget gap, while Republicans said Dayton should agree to a "lights on" bill to keep the government functioning for ten more days.
Republican leaders delivered the temporary funding proposal to the governor's office Thursday night.
"The answer to the shutdown is now in the governor's office," said Republican Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, R-Buffalo, at a news conference a few minutes later.
Dayton refused to sign the bill, calling it a "publicity stunt" designed to shift blame for the stalemate. The DFL governor, speaking at a news conference at the Capitol, said he offered two budget proposals Thursday, but both were rejected by Republican lawmakers.
"This is a night of deep sorrow for me because I don't want to see this shutdown occur," he said.
The governor has proposed raising taxes on the wealthiest Minnesotans to support more spending, but Republicans have rejected the plan. The Legislature passed a $34 billion budget with no tax increases, but Dayton vetoed it.
On Thursday, Dayton said he offered additional spending cuts and then proposed raising taxes only on the roughly 7,700 Minnesotans who earn more than $1 million a year. Republicans, he said, rejected the proposals.
Instead, he said Republican lawmakers offered a $1 billion revenue raising option that consisted of delaying $700 million in payments to schools and borrowing against funds from the state's tobacco companies' settlement. Dayton said he rejected those options as not really raising revenue.
Mounds of debt? Mounds of debt? Are you serious? You cannot have mounds of debt with a state budget. That's why it shut down. Way to plug the generic GOP "concern for our children" into the conversation. This guy cracks me up.
Very dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do believe this is just to tick off the population. Maybe it's an I don't like you situation at the expense of many unfortunate people. The population should hold taxes until a resolve is met!!! How about that People of the state! Don't shop in Minnesota withold the revenue.
It is very easy to get mad a the current governor when we should all remember who left us in this mess. I hope our former governor is happy with the mess he left for the State to clean up. Now it is definately being supported on the backs of the poor and middle class!
So let me get this straight, according to these (expletive deleted) Republicans "The WANTS of the few far out-weighs the NEEDS of the many." It's Prince John all over again. WHERE IS OUR ROBIN HOOD? Ooh wait, this time it's for real and not some movie or fairy tale.
I wonder, do these politicians we elected to serve and protect us still get paid while the rest of us struggle to take care of our families, worry about losing our jobs (because we have no Day Care or transportation) and our place to live (because without our jobs there's no money to pay our bills)?
Also, since we have no government (at the moment and no telling for how long do to the shut-down) do we still have to pay taxes? If so, I want to know what happened to the "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION."
@ Edith of course they will still get paid, along with all there staff. They voted and passed this a week ago as 35000 state employees received layoff notices. They also get a 1600 per diem and a housing allowance. Isn't every MN families food budget $1600 a month?
Edith you have a valid Point! Representatives should get nothing.. No paycheck, no health benefits, and the definitely a meeting with the boss! That would be us! If you or I did not do the job we were hired for we would be fired! And the Tax without representation Wow!! I work or should I say volunteer my time to help the homeless and those who are on the verge of being homeless find a place to live and or work things out with mortgage company's or land lords to remain where they are. The State just made my volunteering a very difficult job. I would like to see out politicians do my volunteer job for just a month and see the devastation this shut down will bring!
It is necessary to raise taxes. The Right's agenda, to destroy all public programs that assist the poor and elderly, while allowing the extremely wealthy to avoid paying their share is short-sighted, at best, and corrupt, at worst.
Dayton, himself, is one of those wealthy Minnesotans -- and he is willing to raise his own taxes. We need more responsible leaders like Dayton.
It's wonderful to see our Governor keep his spine!
This shutdown is going to be a disaster in my life, however; I'D RATHER BE HOMELESS AND HUNGRY THAN SEE DAYTON BACK DOWN!
Dear Gov. Dayton, hold the line, Minnesotans are a hardy bunch, we can weather a storm. Kep your head up and keep your promise to us!
We are with you.
I can not believe that republicans get away with what they do!!!!!!!!!!!! Its like small spoiled children that punish others until they get thier own way... Bullys and selfish individuals that put thier own needs above others that truly need it. If I made over a million a year your Damn right I would expect to pay moreout to help the ones who need it most. But that obviously is not the way the Republican party feels,, after all they are the privledged, who are we to tell them they cant have thier cake and eat it too
Governor Dayton, I appreciate what you are trying to do, and admire your conviciton,, it must be so hard to work with money hungry selfish people that truly do not care about thier fellow man. How can you possibly meet in the middle with these people? I dont know but if anyone can, I know it will be you. Hang in there and dont let the self centered Repulican party win...... Its time we put the pompous fools in their place
CUT CUT CUT is not a plan.
@Jennifer Sather just so you realize the leg also has the option to opt in and out of paying for the same insurance that all MN state employees pay for. Meaning they do not have to contribute to the pool until they decide they need health insurance then they can "opt" in pay for the month, get that expensive surgery and charge the group and then opt back out and continue to pay nothing! That's about a $6000 a year savings for them on a family plan by opting out.
WOW minnesota, when it goes and gets tough, shut down and let people be jobless, like my mom(: thaaanks your politic prick!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, It's way past time the American people take the government back into their hands. Most of today's problems lie in the hands of our "glorious" senators. They can be fired and they need to be. Most of their ideas only hurt us. They talk about the good for America and it's people when what they mean is the good for themselves and their friends. They are tainting what America truly is as they rape us of any chance to make progress and wipe their a@#!% with the constitution. This is NOT what the forefathers wanted when they laid down the foundations for us. I can't understand why more people don't grasp the fact that the government works for us and DO something about it. We need to kick most of them out and start fresh. I think a senator should be given a flat rate wage not exceeding what the average household makes, they should know what it's really like in our world, THE REAL WORLD for most Americans out there, and be treated like EVERY other working citizen. That's what they are! The rich SHOULD be taxed, they live here too and I bet they received a free education at a public school as well which is where a senators salary is needed, to the people who educate our children and those who actually protect us, people who risk their lives in the line of duty for their community members. The bottom line is can't succeed with people who refuse to work together, and we also can't continue allowing ourselves to suffer and lose more while the rich gain what we lost and then some. So much is broken and it's past time we fix it.
My letter to Governor Dayton:
It is absolutely asinine for you and your Democrat and Union friends to be asking for more than the 12% increase (4 BILLION DOLLARS) included in our state budget.
What is your logic for doing this? Do you really want high income people leaving this state and taking their businesses with them?
This is exactly what has happened in California. In the last 6 years one and half million high income families have left the state of California.
Where do you think they went? They went to states like Texas, Florida and Wyoming where there is no personal income tax.
We are considering moving our small business to South Dakota. We are small potatoes, but if enough people like me leave, you will be left with a lot less taxpayers to foot your take care of everyone who doesn't want to work plan.
This state government is already loaded with too many employees who do little or nothing to earn their pay.
We are paying for people who should be made to get jobs, rather than suck at the public trough of welfare. When will you get the message? You can't have more TAKERS in Minnesota than MAKERS!
In the past 50 years more than a trillion dollars have been transferred to the poor. Surely a sum this vast should have made inroads against poverty. However, these trillions in entitlements have been accompanied by an astronomical increase in criminal behavior, a runaway plague of alcohol and drug addiction and stupendous breakdown in the family unit. Trillions directed at poverty have led to an astonishing increase in the number of poor and an explosion of street people and homeless.
The late management guru Peter Drucker said, "The evidence is thus crystal clear. Modern welfare destroys. It does not build competence; it creates dependence."
Government does not cure poverty, government creates poverty!
We are making it too easy for people not to work. We are taking away their self-esteem by giving them my and other citizens of Minnesota's money.
Governor Dayton, take the silver spoon out of your ass and realize that the hard working citizens of this state are already paying high taxes, just so politicians like you can give it away.

PAULSBORO — A former Paulsboro man sentenced to five years in prison for ordering a van burned is free after less than four months behind bars.
Douglas Scheuerer, 47 — who has been criminally charged in New Jersey more than a dozen times — was freed late last month on a supervised release program to which he applied.
But he may be back in trouble already.
Scheuerer was initially charged with arson for hiring two men to set fire to a neighbor's van in August 2010, when he lived on Mansoor Court in Washington Township. The fire caused an explosion, authorities said.
He was also accused of making threats against witnesses in the case.
As that case was ongoing, Scheuerer and his wife, 52-year-old Donna Ricotta, were charged with bias intimidation for allegedly ridiculing a Paulsboro woman's autistic child. The couple lived near the woman on West Broad Street at the time.
Authorities said they placed on their property an altered sign saying "Slow. Children Playing." They'd allegedly changed the sign to say "Slow. Healthy, normal children playing," alluding to the fact their children are not autistic.
In March of this year, Scheuerer admitted to having the van burned in Washington Township. But he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of criminal mischief in exchange for a five-year prison sentence. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors agreed to drop other charges, including that of bias intimidation.
The sentence was handed down in April, and Scheuerer was committed to Bayside State Prison in Leesburg. The following month, state court officials sent an email to the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office saying Scheuerer had applied to be admitted to the Intensive Supervision Program (ISP), an alternative to prison meant to save space for violent criminals when facilities are overcrowded.
Under ISP, an offender must present a plan for a better life and stick to it. Potential requirements include having full-time work or training, community service, drug testing, paying any penalties due and more.
The court email said Scheuerer could be referred to a panel that decides whether applicants are admitted to ISP. When that happened, the email said, all information including Scheuerer's plan, an assessment of that plan, and the time and date of his hearing would go to the prosecutor's office, which could then formally oppose it.
Gloucester County First Assistant Prosecutor Mary Pyffer sent a response the day she received the email, May 27, saying her office "strongly opposes ISP for this defendant."
Pyffer added authorities would argue against it when they received all the information. But prosecutor's office spokesman Bernie Weisenfeld said officials there don't believe they ever received it, and that it hasn't been found since the South Jersey Times inquired this week.
Judiciary spokeswoman Tamara Kendig said a packet with all the information was included with a letter sent July 14 to the prosecutor's office. The letter said Scheuerer's ISP hearing would take place July 31 at the Atlantic County court complex in Mays Landing. Authorities could argue against the release then.
But no one from the prosecutor's office attended the hearing, Weisenfeld acknowledged. The panel granted Scheuerer's request, and he was released that day.
Prosecutors lamented the decision, and Weisenfeld stressed that Pyffer made clear that authorities here were against it from the start.
Yet it wasn't long before Scheuerer was summoned back to court. Early this month, the woman who had accused him of ridiculing her child filed a harassment complaint against him.
She claims that on Aug. 3, she saw Scheuerer mowing the lawn at his property in the 400 block of West Broad Street in Paulsboro, near her home. He and Ricotta had a home attached to a beauty salon there, but the building was destroyed by a fire in November that was ruled accidental.
The woman wrote in her complaint that "I was shocked in seeing him, as I was told in his ... sentencing for criminal mischief that he would be serving a five-year flat (prison) sentence."
Scheuerer, who with Ricotta also owns D&D Bakery on West Broad Street, glared at her and gave a middle finger twice as she stood inside her home behind a screen door, she wrote.
"Please note I am afraid for my safety and my family's safety, to be going through this again when the system dismissed my bias case," she continued. A court order for Scheuerer to stay away from the woman and her family is in effect, she also noted.
Scheuerer is scheduled to appear in Paulsboro court on the harassment charge Sept. 2.
Following the harassment charge, Weisenfeld said, Scheuerer now must wear an electronic monitor. He no longer lives in Gloucester County, the spokesman said.
Court records indicate his address as of March was in the 300 block of Middlesex Street in Gloucester City. They also show Scheuerer is no stranger to the courts.
He's been charged with assault nine times. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in a March 2011 assault case. The others ended up in a municipal court or were downgraded, merged with another charge or dismissed.
Scheuerer was charged with obstruction of government operations in 1996, to which he pleaded guilty. He's also been charged with theft by unlawful taking (in Middlesex County), harassment, fraud and kidnapping or coercion — all cases that ended in dismissal. Some of those were related to the Washington Township arson case and were dismissed as part of the plea deal.Joe Green may be reached at email@example.com.

The focus of my research interests lies in two major lines of investigation. The first is in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of age-related and other voice disorders. Funded research efforts in the lab have focused on rejuvenation of the aging larynx. I have established a novel murine model for the aging larynx which has facilitated study of the use of stem cells and growth factors to alter tissue changes occurring in the aging mouse larynx. The second line of investigation has focused on physician burnout in Otolaryngology. Research in this critically important area has identified the prevalence of burnout and key factors associated with the development of burnout.

Kobe Bryant Could Return By End Of The Month
Los Angeles star Kobe Bryant who has only played in six games this season may be returning to action by the end of this month.
Bryant who is fourth all-time on the NBA scoring list has only played in six games this season.
Point guard Steve Nash looks to return by January 28th and the team is hoping Kobe will too.
"My understanding is that it's about the same time," Coach Mike D'Antoni said Friday. "Hopefully, both of them are ready."
The Lakers (14-23) are in need of their two best players and can use any good news possible.
Bryant continues to lead Western Conference guards in All-Star voting despite asking fans to vote for younger players such as Portland's Damian Lillard. But whether Bryant will play in the Feb. 16 game is unclear.
"That's up to Kobe and then the trainers and doctors," D'Antoni said. "I don't have anything against anything so that's up to them."
Bryant is averaging 13.8 points and 6.3 assists this year.

University of Minnesota Inpatient Psychiatric Service.—In October, an inpatient psychiatric service for children was opened at the University of Minnesota Medical School and Hospitals. This new unit will materially strengthen the over-all child psychiatry program of teaching, research, and service which has been in operation since 1938. Expansion of the program was made possible by a legislative appropriation which also provided for increased staff and stipends for training in child psychiatry. A position as instructor is available for a qualified physician desiring an academic career. Those interested should contact Reynold A. Jensen, M.D., University of Minnesota Hospitals, Minneapolis.

CHARLESTON — The first day of the 113th U.S. Women's Amateur was a difficult one for a pair of qualifiers with area connections.
Strom Thurmond High School alums McKenzie Talbert and Anne Marie Covar are among the elite field of 156 players to qualify for the championship being played at the Country Club of Charleston. Both Talbert and Covar are decorated players who have distinguished themselves often, most recently emerging from a record 1,170 golfers that attempted to qualify for the U.S. Women's Amateur.
But both struggled Monday, the first day of 36 holes of qualifying in the championship. Talbert shot an 8-over 79 while Covar carded a 9-over 80. Those scores currently leave both players outside of the top 64, the cutoff to qualify for match play.
That's the bad news. The good news is both Talbert and Covar are only a handful of strokes outside of the cut and have another 18 holes to play today that could change their fortunes.
Talbert's tied for 94th after her 79. Her round included seven bogeys, a double bogey and one birdie. She was hurt by a poor finish that saw her make bogey or worse on five of her final six holes. Talbert was only 2-over through 12 holes but struggled to get home; going bogey, double, par, bogey, bogey, bogey.
Covar's greatest struggles came in the middle of her round, although that included some of the same holes that Talbert finished on since Covar started her day on the 10th tee. Covar, tied for 110th, encountered her difficulties on an eight-hole stretch, that included the last four holes on the back nine and the first four on the front. She was five over during that span and finished her overall round with seven bogeys, two doubles and two birdies.
Covar was 6-over on the par 3s, while Talbert's troubles were on the par 4s – posting a plus-eight on those holes. The Rebel alums will swap starting holes today, with Covar teeing off at 12:40 p.m. on No. 1 and Talbert starting on the 10th at 1:40 p.m.
Should either qualify for match play, they'll have the opportunity to be featured on The Golf Channel. It will begin coverage on Wednesday from 3-5 p.m., with coverage scheduled from 4-6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, when the U.S. Women's Amateur will be decided by a 36-hole championship match.
Covar's currently a member of the Wofford women's golf team. When she was at Strom Thurmond, Covar was the Class AA Girl's Golfer of the Year in 2007 and 2008 and was named to the All-State team three consecutive years. She was also a member of the 2009 Carolinas Team.
Talbert just graduated from Strom Thurmond this year and is part of a star-studded team that's heading to Clemson to revive the Tiger women's golf program.
During her run with the Rebels, Talbert won three consecutive Class AA individual state championships and was named Carolina Girls' Player of the Year.
She won the 2010 Beth Daniel Junior Azalea at the Country Club of Charleston, so a strong round today isn't out of the question.
The player Talbert, Covar and everybody else in the field is chasing is Allisen Corpuz. The Honolulu resident was the only player in the U.S. Women's Amateur to post a score under par, carding a 69, giving her a two-stroke lead over a pack of seven players tied for second at even-par.
One of Talbert's future teammates at Clemson is tied for 55th place, as Milledgeville's Ashlan Ramsey shot 5-over 76. Two of the more prominent players in the field struggled Monday. Lucy Li, a 10 year old who's the youngest participant to ever play in the event, shot 11-over 82. On the opposite end of the age spectrum, 53-year-old Liz Waynick is the oldest player in championship. But she also struggled, carding 16-over 87. Waynick was the youngest player in the 1976 U.S. Women's Amateur field at age 16.
Overall, the field includes players 20 countries and 31 states. In addition to Talbert and Covar, there are six other players from the Palmetto State that qualified. That includes Greer's Dawn Woodard (72), Goose Creek's Katelyn Dambaugh (74), Lexington's Lauren Stephenson (75), Hilton Head's Lily Bartell (81), Elgin's Kelli Murphy (82) and Spartanburg's Katy Funk (84).
The Women's Amateur has long identified some of golf's greatest women players, many of whom have gone on to successful professional careers. Patty Berg, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Louise Suggs, Marlene Stewart Streit, Anne Quast Sander, Barbara McIntire, Catherine Lacoste, Carol Semple Thompson and Beth Daniel have all secured a place in women's golf history and all competed in the U.S. Women's Amateur.
Noah Feit is the sports editor for the Aiken Standard and has been a professional journalist for more than 14 years after graduating from Syracuse University.

I'll be honest with you. If you'd have asked me where I wanted to spend the night of my birthday, Carlsbad, New Mexico would probably not have been top of my list.
But with the Grand Canyon and Vegas to come in the next few days we had to hit the road to cover some big miles. And what a journey it was.
After unwrapping my presents, eating my breakfast in bed, and enjoying other birthday activities we got going out of Austin at around 10.30, speeding through the beautiful Texas hill country, which at this time of year is covered in red, yellow and blue wildflowers.
After that, the countryside started to flatten out and dry out into the proper Texas that we'd come to see - the kind you see in westerns. Huge hot plains with mountain backdrops, cactus and Joshua trees. Soaring eagles, amazing vistas and long, straight highways. Brilliant.
I made up for my defeat in the first-to-see-an-alligator contest in Louisiana by winning $10 in the first-to-see-a-cactus competition. Get in.
It was around this time Kate made an amazing discovery. In our hotel in Austin, despite the fact we had been staying in a ten floor suite in one of the nicest places in town, internet access was $10.95 a day. Given that even the roughest econo-motels here have it for free, we said no.
However, in the rest areas (essentially lay-bys with toilets) in the middle of the desert the great state of Texas lays on free wi-fi. Bonkers. We updated our Facebook status.
However, getting Kate out of the car at this point was tricky. She wanted the toilet, but spotted the "Watch for snakes" sign
It was around this time I realised that if we made the New Mexico border we would cross into a new time-zone and gain an extra hour, thus giving me an extra bonus hour of birthday! I put my foot down.
New Mexico is one of the most intriguing places in the US. It's a real mix of cultures. The state has some stunning scenery and the bluest skies you'll ever see, but is also the home of UFOs (more on Roswell tomorrow), the nuclear bomb (the first ever test happened at White Sands) and some amazing art.
It's also hot as hell. By 8.30pm it was still 86 degrees. My kind of place.
Prize for most bonkers place name of the trip so far must go to the town of Loving, New Mexico
We pulled into the nicest looking motel in Carlsbad (which isn't saying much), ordered a pizza, drank beer and passed out. Great birthday!
Miles covered since New York City: 2,748
States visited: Texas, New Mexico
Time zones crossed: 1 (Central to Mountain time)
First cactus seen: 12.56 (CT)

River Severn | River Thames
Many towns and factories are built near rivers so that they can use water from the river. But sometimes the water is not cleaned before it is put back into the river. This dirtying of water (also air and soil) is called pollution.
Pollution can be in a variety of forms:
Causes of pollution
Farmers put fertilizers and pesticides on their crops so that their crops grow better. But these fertilizers and pesticides can be washed through the soil by rain, to end up in rivers. Fertilizers and pesticides are harmful because they cause algae to grow. The algae then destroy water plants.
Green algae
Factories use water from rivers to power machinery or to cool down machinery. Dirty water containing chemicals is put back in the river. Water used for cooling is warmer than the river itself, and this is also a form of pollution.
People are sometimes careless and throw rubbish such as bottles and crisp packets directly into rivers.
Effects of pollution
Pollution kills water plants and animals.
Polluted water also carries diseases. When animals drink the water, they may get diseases which can kill them. People can even get these diseases by eating the infected animal. This happens a lot in poor countries in Africa where people get untreated water directly from the river.
Rivers look unsightly when there is rubbish in them.
Polluted rivers smell bad.
Efforts are being made to clean dirty rivers. Water companies like Southern Water are spending a lot of money to clean up dirty rivers. There are fines for companies and people who deliberately throw rubbish into the river.

The Factory World
Steam Press's first title for 2013 is Joseph Edward Ryan's
"Some people can't see certain things the world makes. It gets in them like a thorn and turns in a bad way. Cuts them up from inside, and gets a bleed going. And that makes a person weak. And in a world like this, kid, that's enough to get you killed."
Waking in a pipe in a silent forest, unable to remember how he got there or where he came from, Simon finds himself walking a rusting railway track with a mysterious stranger who cannot even remember his own name. Abandoned factories and eerie mannequins dot their path, falling stars lighting the night sky and searing holes through the earth to reveal a maze of pipes beneath. A dream, and a thousand miles away is their only way home.
But they are not alone on this factory world, and soon realise that they are fighting for their lives...

Praise for The Factory World
"A highly accomplished first novel that shows great leaps of imagination and a firm handle on the sci-fi genre... It has more than an echo of Cormac McCarthy's
"Belts along with tremendous energy... The present is murderous, future uncertain and past evasive... A considerable imaginative accomplishment, and definitely absorbing. Watch this guy's space." –
"A profoundly strange, sinister trip where the answers are hidden beneath layers of possible meaning and non-meanings... Wholly unique and thought provoking." – NZ Booklovers
"This story had a real impact on me. The plot is imaginative and the story engrossing." –
"Building towards an action-packed climax Ryan doesn't lose sight of what really makes
"Most stories are plot-driven, some are character-driven, and just occasionally a novel is setting-driven.
"Ryan has constructed an intricate puzzle box of a story, with a pair of characters that you will love. You'll be biting your nails even as you explore their new dangerous and curious world along with them." – Philippa Ballantine
"A powerful and original evocation of a world where the distinction between the human and the machine is problematic ... The story flows straight from the page to the imagination." – Phillip Mann
"Simon is a wonderful character – plucky, compassionate and inventive – in a sinister and unsettling world that lived on in my imagination long after I finished the book." – Mandy Hager
"Weird and intriguing ... strange and disturbing ... a wonderful antidote to the ubiquitous fat fantasy trilogy." – SFFANZ Reviews
"Dark and foreboding as any great New Zealand novel but full of original twists,
"A genuinely unsettling mix of the familiar and the weird, Ryan's story world seems born out of a fevered nightmare. It's the vivid grotesquerie of Ryan's wildly fertile imagination that is this book's greatest strength... I gobbled down the majority of it in one greedy sitting." – We ♥ Books
"Well written with some stunning dialogue between Simon and the Tin Man... For something classy and different read this. A totally unique idea." – Bob's Book Blog

Who said the end of the season was just going to peter out into nothing, that for sides in mid-table that these final few games didn't really matter, that they were little more than end of season friendlies? Not for West Brom.
Last week saw a big game against Liverpool, a revenge mission for the fans and the players even if the man they were imparting revenge on behalf of, Roy Hodgson, said it was just another game and conducted himself with great dignity despite some of the treatment he received whilst at Liverpool.
If that was Hodgson's big game, for a large section of Albion fans, this weekend's derby match against Aston Villa is their big game.
And now everybody can relax as West Brom all but secured their top flight status for next season with a 3-0 victory over Steve Kean's Blackburn Rovers.
In truth, the scoreline flattered Albion somewhat. Rovers saw a lot more of the ball than the home side, particularly in the 2nd half. Having said that, they did not create too many clear chances for all their possession with Ben Foster providing the heroics when Blackburn did create some opportunities.
The afternoon started off well for West Brom, gaining 4 corners in a fast-paced opening salvo. Skipper Brunt produced quality from all these set pieces, the ball being delivered to the back post where Jonas Olsson and Gareth McAuley demonstrated their aerial prowess by winning every ball. It was McAuley who helped Albion grab the lead, though he will have a tough job claiming the opener as his goal.
So in the week that I haven't blogged, The Baggies have suffered two very disappointing defeats although not entirely unexpected. That is one important thing to note, both Everton and Newcastle are above us in the table and would have fancied their chances in the two matches. This is not to say they were write-offs, Albion beat Newcastle earlier this season away from home and did the double over Everton last season.
The worst thing about these two games were the performances put in by The Albion. Gone were the free-flowing, attractive yet solid football that we witnessed against Wolves and Sunderland or the resilience and guile shown against Chelsea and Wigan. The two performances were distinctly average, "on the beach" displays from the players.
The football was slow and cumbersome, the defending poor. Albion lacked any pace or width, and the service to the strikers in both games was nigh-on non-existent. There are of course many reasons for this.

Hotel Calls Bush 'Poisoning' a Stunt
Posted on Apr 29, 2010
Laura Bush's new memoir reportedly features a scene at a German hotel fit for a Poirot mystery: The president and his entourage suddenly taken ill as the Secret Service frantically searches for poison. The hotel in question says Mrs. Bush is probably just trying to sell books.
The incident took place during a 2007 G8 summit in Germany, and while it's tempting to think this might at last provide an explanation for President George W. Bush's bizarre turn as a masseur, that uncomfortable incident (video below) took place at the previous year's meeting in Russia.
More on the poisoning allegation here.

First it was WMDs and now they suspect they were poisoned. Next…We were given drugs by Cheney.
