Community-based social innovations to support older people
October 2016 -- The WHO Kobe Centre has launched a large-scale research project on community-based social innovations for healthy ageing. This new research aims at improving health and well-being of older people at a community level, and to guide development and implementation of various models of community-based care and support services.
India's leprosy case detection campaign reaches 320 million people
October 2016 -- A recent door-to-door leprosy case detection campaign in India has screened a record 320 million people, revealing thousands of 'hidden' cases in some of the country's districts. The campaign by the National Leprosy Elimination Programme covered 149 districts across 19 states and mobilized almost 300 000 health workers.
Appeal for $9 million for emergency health operations in Haiti
October 2016 -- WHO has issued an appeal to donors for emergency health response operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. Of the more than 2.1 million Haitians who have been affected by the Hurricane, there are estimated 750,000 persons in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
India on the right path to ending TB
October 2016- India is the one of the world's frontrunners in finding innovative solutions to combat tuberculosis (TB). Innovative models include the introduction of vouchers for free diagnosis and free drugs for patients in private clinics through links with private laboratories and pharmacies in the neighbourhoods, and tiered referrals to access these services.

[PSYCH FOLK] At its best, Sidereal Time, the fourth album from Portland duo the Harvey Girls, recalls Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in its disheveled folk experimentalism. "Picher, Nowata" and "Superman Keeps Slipping," two of the album's highlights, create a trail of tambourines, trumpets and reverb-drenched samples like brightly colored streamers. During the record's duller moments—of which there are plenty—this playful inclination fades, making it difficult for the LP to live up to its own promise.
The brainchild of husband-and-wife duo Melissa Rodenbeek and Hiram Lucke, the Harvey Girls offer a prime example of both the benefits and pitfalls inherent to self-production. When Sidereal Time enters such lushly overdubbed territory as "Sun Dogs," it sounds like an album living in its own aesthetic world. When this momentum fails, the results are, without exception, soporific.
"Between the Stars," for instance, opens with the theoretically interesting conceit of a pop song recorded in the half-flat affect of a religious congregation going through the Sunday hymnal. The idea, however, scuppers its curious promise thanks to a clunky chorus that insistently repeats, "There is a darkness between the light/ Holding your absence."
Such "sounds good on paper" experiments—both lyrical and compositional—trouble the album in its less emphatic moods. It sounds as if Rodenbeek and Lucke occasionally became more interested in the tricks afforded them by their recording gear than in the songs the gear was supposed to record. Sidereal Time bears the marks of an album recorded without the motivating pressure of deadlines, something that, in this case, would have provided a much-needed creative counterweight.
SEE IT: The Harvey Girls play Record Room, 8 NW Killingsworth St., on Saturday, Oct. 13. 8 pm. $3-$5 sliding scale. 21+.

Hello everyone!
Thank you for stopping by today! I'm really excited about the new creative buzz I'm on… now the bootie saga has ended!!! I was first inspired by this idea when I saw on Attic24 a book Lucy had bought, in it were some pictures of some gorgeous crochet coat hanger covers… To die for in fact… I wanted to make one then and there! Alas I had no coat hangers that would suit being covered, I've been hunting for them everywhere since, but do you know what?
I found some FINALLY. Where?
The Warehouse. Evil Warehouse… although I heard them on the tannoy today saying they won a greenpeace award for sustainable wood last year, so they deserve a bit of kudos. Anyway, they were only $3.99! For 3! Fabulous!
So what to do with some averagely boring wooden coat hangers???
Why, make them beautiful of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my first one… It's not particularly innovative or original… and there are many mistakes… but wait, there's more!
I'm loving them because I can decorate them with flowers… I wouldn't WEAR flowers… but these, these are made for floral decoration.
They're pretty easy… I did my cover with a 5mm hook and 8ply wool, ch 70 and 5 rows of treble, then sc together with a 3.25mm hook, then embellish!
I have so many more ideas in my head for these, and 7 more coat hangers awaiting decoration on my table, so stay tuned!!!
And if you try one, let me know so I can admire your handiwork!
I'm very much enjoying Kirsty's creative space at kootoyoo (check my fave blog lists, I still am not able to do that "here" thing!!!) I'm finding so many awesome blogs and inspiring people.
Have a lovely creative day! From Alice and Raymond XX

KALAMAZOO, MI — Investigative documents following the police-involved fatal shooting of Jacob Grassley were released Friday by the Kalamazoo City Attorney's Office.
The release of roughly 300 pages of documents as well as three surveillance videos from the Best Western hotel where the shooting occurred comes two weeks after Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting issued a report finding the shooting was justified. [Read a PDF of Getting's ruling]
Grassley, 34, was shot on Jan. 24 inside the Best Western hotel. Grassley, who was being pursued by police following an earlier domestic incident, had gone to the hotel to find his girlfriend.
He was shot inside the hotel after he refused officer commands to stop.
Below are PDF documents of key reports that were among the documents released today:
• Memo from Chief Jeff Hadley (10 pages)
• Summary of internal affairs investigation (11 pages)
• Internal affairs interview with Sgt. Sean Gordon (9 pages)
• Investigative interview with Sgt. Sean Gordon (5 pages)
• Investigative interview with Meghan Parsons (9 pages)
• Investigative interview with Dorothy Grassley (2 pages)
• Bulletin sent to officers looking for Jacob Grassley (1 page)

Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice on Bostall Hill, Abbey Wood in South East London is calling for local people of all ages to join its friendly volunteer team.
The Hospice, a registered charity, offers specialist care and support to local people with a life-limiting illness.
In the last year alone, the Hospice supported over 2,500 local people and their families, friends and carers in the boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley.
"Our volunteers make a big difference to the quality of life of people who have a life-limiting illness," said Vanessa Hill, Volunteers Manager at the Hospice. "We have all sorts of volunteer roles, with something to suit all abilities and availabilities."
One such volunteer is 67-year-old Charlie Cowcher from Eltham who has been volunteering at the Hospice as a volunteer driver for the past five years. He devotes four hours a day, two days a week.
Describing a typical day, Charlie said: "I go to the patient's house and I bring them to the hospice. I know it's never going to be a miserable journey because they know they're coming to a nice place. For new patients on the way to the hospice I tell them all about the day centre to reassure them. When we get to the hospice I make sure that my passengers get settled and I introduce them to people. I come back to pick them up and we chat all about the day on the way home. I make sure they're safely in their houses before I say goodbye. I really enjoy this role, I like meeting new people and I have made some good friends."
Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice has a dedicated team of almost 600 volunteers working in a variety of roles from charity shop work and fund-raising to working directly with patients and their families at the Hospice.
FOR MORE INFORMATION contact Vanessa Hill, Volunteers' Manager on 020 8320 5812, email email@example.com or visit www.communityhospice.org.uk

St Michael Coslany, Norwich

Michael Coslany, Norwich
As we approached the church, a little truck, looking a little like an ice cream van, came to a halt beside us, and began playing the Harry Lime theme. It wasn't selling ice creams, but sandwiches and coffee to office workers.
St Michael is sometimes abbreviated to St Miles, and is recorded that way in old documents. There were four churches dedicated to St Michael in the city, but St Miles always means this one. George Plunkett came this way on the last day of March 1938, and his photographs show a rather dour, urban Victorianised interior, probably fairly low church for Norwich. Today, the church is the home of the Inspire Discovery Centre, a 'hands-on' science exhibition, and the colourful interior is a dramatic contrast with that of nearly seventy years ago.
in 1938, the main entrance was from the west, but this is now closed off. The area beneath the tower has been restored as a fine bell-ringing chamber, and these bells still ring out regularly across the city. In the west end of the nave, are the offices, kitchen and toilets of the science centre, forming a kind of balcony which is not accessible by the public, but seems to be used for storage. This structure, in fact, predates Inspire; for several years after redundancy in the 1970s, this building acted as a gymnasium for the Duke Street youth centre, and it was then that the balcony area was built to provide changing rooms. The balcony rail cuts rather awkwardly into the royal arms.
You may think that the graveyard is rather short of headstones. This is partly because, until the end of the 19th century, what we now see as a large rectangle of green actually had several buildings in it. The east end of the chancel was blocked off, and the only light came through the aisle windows.
In the early 16th century, money for the elaboration of the church had been bequeathed by members of the Clerk, Thorp and Ramsey families. All the glass of that time has gone now, pretty much; there are a few surviving fragments reset in the east window of the north aisle, mainly canopy work. In the east window of the chancel, the Victorians placed a large deposition from the cross, which looks as if it might be continental work, or perhaps simply another clever Victorian counterfeit.
In the east end of the north aisle is what appears to be the remains of a late 16th or early 17th century memorial bearing the name Henry Fawcett. My favourite of all is a little one one on the north side of the chancel arch that reads simply: Memorial of Mrs Anne Grew, who died very suddenly on the 17th October 1844, while conversing with her husband W. Grew, of Duke Street, Norwich - Corpore Mortua, sed Memoria viveris ('her body is dead, but she lives on in the memory').

If you're interested in some strong high school basketball to start your 2010, former Okemos baseball standout Marlon Wright is part of a group hosting some intriguing Midwest teams Saturday at Saline High.
I've said this about most of these, but this might've been the most difficult to narrow down with so many players at the similar high level during their high school careers.
Okemos has been the dominant program in mid-Michigan this decade, but there's plenty of variety among my candidates for this All-Decade team.

We have something on Thursday's prep page about the end of Lakewood's longtime gym and the features of the new one, but I wanted to get this photo online because it looks so cool.
As you can imagine, a few elite schools dominated the possibilities for the LSJ All-Decade boys soccer team.
We've been introducing possible All-Decade teams all fall, and you can check out any of them so far by clicking the links at the bottom of this post. Those lists, along with your input, will be combined for the final All-Decade teams, which we will publish in January. We'll come out with our final ones -- girls swimming and diving, volleyball and football -- over the rest of December.
Some interesting "by the numbers" for this one -- a breakdown of Dream Team selections this decade by school: East Lansing 22, Mason 19, Okemos 16, Holt 8, Haslett 6, Lansing Christian 6, Lansing Catholic 6, DeWitt 4, Williamston 4, Fowlerville 3, Everett 3, Ithaca 3, New Covenant Christian 3, Charlotte 2, Waverly 2, Sexton 1, Dansville 1, Stockbridge 1, Eaton Rapids 1, Grand Ledge 1, Laingsburg/Bath 1 and St. Johns 1.
Here's what I've got so far for All-Decade:
Goalkeeper: Scott Zolkowski, East Lansing (2008, North Carolina-Greensboro): Made the Division 2 all-state team his final two seasons and the all-state Dream Team as a senior. Tied for state record with 50 career shutouts.
Defender: Sal Durso, Lansing Christian (2010): Plays for Vardar during club season, he had 17 goals and five assists combined over the last two seasons despite likely getting slighted with two second-team selections at the all-state level in Division 4.
Defender: Ryan Thelen, Mason (2009, Michigan State): The 2008 LSJ Player of the Year had a combined 20 goals and 21 assists over his final two seasons also playing midfielder.
Defender: Eddie Vogel, Lansing Catholic (2004): Had 15 goals and 14 assists as a midfielder as a junior when he made Division 3 all-state, but received the same honor as a defender as both a senior and freshman.
Midfielder: Josh Barens, Holt (2010, signed with MSU): Made the all-state Dream Team and was LSJ Player of the Year this fall, and finished his career with 46 goals and 67 assists – the assists tied for 12th-most in state history and second-most among players from Class A or B schools.
Midfielder: Doug DeMartin, Mason (2004, MSU): Made the LSJ Dream Team and earned all-state honors his final two seasons – including making that Dream Team as a senior when he had 33 goals and 15 assists.
Midfielder: Devin McNeil, DeWitt (2002, Hope College): Had 25 goals and 21 assists as a senior to be named the LSJ Player of the Year, and his 69 career goals may still be a school record. He also made the LSJ Dream Team as a junior.
Forward: Kevin Hagan, East Lansing (2004, Olivet College): The 2004 LSJ Player of the Year may still hold the Trojans' career record of 86 goals. He also had 36 assists over his final three seasons, including two as an all-stater (and his last as an all-state Dream Teamer).
Forward: Cyrus Saydee, Everett (2008, MSU): Posted 70 goals and 55 assists combined over his final three seasons, when he made the LSJ Dream Team despite being at least a year younger than most in his class. Was the LSJ Player of the Year and an all-state Dream Team pick as a senior.
Ali Philman, East Lansing (2009): Named LSJ Player of the Year as a sophomore and a Dream Team pick and Division 2 all-stater three times. He had a combined 74 goals and 28 assists over his final three seasons.
David Brogan, Okemos (2005, MSU): Had 21 assists and made the all-state Dream Team as a senior in leading the Chieftains to a state title. He was also the LSJ Player of the Year that season.
Also in the conversation:
Goalkeeper: Ethan Felsing, Mason (2006, Olivet College): Made the Division 2 all-state team as a senior with 12 shutouts and a 0.39 goals-against average.
Goalkeeper: Mark Selleck, Lansing Catholic (2009): Made the LSJ Dream Team as a senior with a 0.45 goals-against average and 15 shutouts, including 10 straight. He also made the Division 3 all-state first team.
Defender: Dan Kelly, East Lansing (2004): Made two straight LSJ Dream Teams to finish his career, blocking 10 shots as a senior.
Defender: Bain Rumohr, Mason (2003, Hope College): Rumohr made the LSJ Dream Team as both a junior and a senior, first as a forward and then as a defender. He also went from all-state honorable mention to first team with the year of play and the move.
Defender: John Pizanis, East Lansing (2003, MSU): Named LSJ Player of the Year as a senior when he blocked 11 shots and led another outstanding defensive run for the Trojans.
Defender: Stefan Hanish, East Lansing (2007): All-state defender for defense that gave up 12 goals in 27 games his senior season.
Midfielder: Logan Lyon, Charlotte (2004, Oakland): Made LSJ Dream Teams as a junior and senior, making the third and then first teams all-state in Division 2.
Midfielder: Stephen Mesko, Mason (2007, Wheaton College): Combined for 40 goals and 22 assists in making the LSJ Dream Team his final two seasons, and was nearly Player of the Year as a senior.
Midfielder: Ben Gates, Holt (2011): Has made the last two LSJ Dream Teams and was a Player of the Year finalist this fall. His totals combined the last two seasons are 46 goals and 19 assists, and he'll enter 2010 as the area's top player.
Midfielder: Alex Grice, Lansing Christian (2008, Stevens Tech): Played all over the field during his career but finished it an all-state first-teamer with 21 goals and 27 assists. His 165 career points and 77 assists were sixth in state history at the time.
Midfielder: Jimmy Witzel, Okemos (2005): Made two LSJ Dream Teams although a broken foot kept him out most of his senior season.
Forward: Noah Sawyer, Haslett (2010): Made two straight LSJ Dream Teams to finish his career, combining for 59 goals, 23 assists, and two all-state picks during that time.
Forward: Peter Houston, East Lansing (2006, Williams College): The 2005 LSJ Player of the Year set an East Lansing record that fall with 34 goals in leading the Trojans to a state championship.
Forward: Mike Smith, Okemos (2005): Made the LSJ Dream Team as both a sophomore and a senior, tallying 33 goals in the latter in making the Division 1 all-state team.
Forward: Josh Clark, Okemos (2002): Made the LSJ Dream Team his final two seasons, and was Player of the Year as a junior. Earned some level of all-state recognition after each, combining for 26 goals and 10 assists.
Forward: Brian Knechtges, Williamston (2005, Olivet College): Made two straight LSJ Dream Teams and was second team and then first team all-state in Division 3 his final two seasons, respectively.
Forward: Mike May, Mason (2007, Olivet College): Had 25 goals and 12 assists as a senior Dream Team and all-state selection.
And the coaches: Mid-Michigan is a strong area for boys soccer in this state, and East Lansing's Nick Archer was one of its pioneers. This decade, he led the Trojans to 2007 and 2002 state titles and a runner-up finish in 2006. Also in the conversation: Okemos' Brian Guggemos led the Chieftains to a Division 1 state title in 2004 and regularly has his team near the top of the area, as has the Mason pair of Paul Kato and later Nick Binder. Holt's Aaron Smith has helped the Rams become a state power to close the decade. They are just the tip of the iceberg on the area's best. But Laingsburg/Bath former coach Shawn Fulton should also be mentioned for taking his team to the most unexpected semifinals appearance of the decade in 2008.
Other All-Decade blogs so far:
After a brief break, we're back with the All-Decade teams. This week we're introducing candidates for both the girls and boys cross country squads.

Syracuse, NY - The District Attorney's Office is still gathering evidence in the case of three men charged in the fatal shooting of a Syracuse cab driver in January.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Matthew Doran today asked County Judge William Walsh to allow the prosecution to have DNA samples from Chuckie Phillips and Eduardo Trinidad compared to evidence gathered in the investigation of the death of Timothy Gordon.
Lawyers for the two men had previously agreed to let them give DNA samples to be compared against any DNA found on a gun used in the Jan. 30 shooting. But the lawyers had previously declined to allow the DNA samples to be investigated further since no charges had been lodged against their clients at that point.
But Phillips, 19, and Trinidad, 23, recently were indicted along with Denny DeJesus, 20, on charges of second-degree murder, attempted first-degree robbery and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon charges in the death. DeJesus had previously been the only defendant charged in the case and he had given a DNA sample to be tested against all the evidence, Doran said.
Given the recent indictment, defense lawyer Marsha Hunt today agreed to let the prosecution do further tests of Phillips' DNA. Because Walsh appointed a new lawyer to represent Trinidad, the decision in his case was postponed until next week.
Doran said he is seeking to have authorities compare the defendants' DNA to other evidence in the case, including the victim's hat, other clothing, a cell phone recovered with a search warrant and the microphone for the radio in Gordon's cab.
Gordon, 29, of Carbon Street., was found with a gunshot wound to the head after his overturned cab was discovered on Summit Avenue in the Strathmore neighborhood Jan. 30. He died the following day.

Tales of the Cocktail isn't truly about drinking and partying. It's an industry conference, just with some added flair because the industry involved is bartending.
Founder Ann Tuennerman explained it during the bustle of seminars, pop-up stores, tastings and other events at the Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter on Friday (July 18). She said the festival typically attracts 15,000 to 20,000 people, and they're coming to learn about matters such as assessing the costs of a menu, hiring and firing employees, designing bar spaces, starting new spirits companies, operating in small markets and handling customers who have imbibed too much.
"The event is programmed for the professional mixologist, so the most influential bartenders from around the world descend on New Orleans," Tuennerman said. "It's like a chef is more than being a good cook. You need a lot of different skill sets to open a bar or a restaurant."
This year the Tales of the Cocktail festival, which started Wednesday and continues through Sunday, is offering 70 seminars.
"They're coming to learn," she said. "They're coming to meet other people. They're coming to discover new products."
On Friday, Liz Petrin, who runs a group of restaurants in Dallas, said attending Tales of the Cocktail helps her follow industry practices and keep her establishments fresh.
"You see new talent," she said. "You see new people."
She's looking for networking as well as specific ideas for cocktails, garnishes and much more: "What are they using for ice? Do they have any new ways to make it easier, to make it better, to make it faster?"
Also attending Friday was Carson Xie, who manages the bar in the Park Hyatt Shanghai Hotel in China. He said most of the mixology research he can do in China takes place through the Internet. Visiting New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail gave him the chance to learn in person.
Xie said he discovered bitters, picked up books and gathered advice about "how to survive in this industry longer," referring to a line of work that stretches into nighttime hours and requires sleeping while others proceed through their days.
The event's economic purpose has another, locally focused side, Tuennerman said. A study of last year's edition found it drives more than $14 million in economic activity.
It is in its 12th year. The first one attracted about 50 people to the back of the Carousel Bar at the Monteleone, she said.
In New Orleans, already a hospitality center, the restaurants and bars operate at top form with all the industry players in town, she said.
"They're bringing their A game because their peers are here," she said.
"It's one of the things that I judge ourselves on and one of the things I love is having an impact on these businesses," she said. "The people who come to the event are in the hospitality industry, so they understand tipping and supporting their colleagues."
At the same time, local vendors participate directly in the running festival.
New Orleans bookseller James Wilson manages its shop for books and bitters. He started operating the shop in the festival's first year as an employee of the defunct Borders bookstore chain. Now he runs it on behalf of New Orleans-based Octavia Books. Along the way he acquired expertise in sourcing bottles of bitters, which sell alongside the books.
Wilson said books about the craft of making cocktails and the history of cocktails have flourished recently.
"The whole market has exploded," he said. "The book part of the cocktail industry has exploded."
And working the event has become an important piece of business for Uptown's Octavia Books.
"This is by far our biggest offsite event," Wilson said. "The numbers are ridiculous."
"It's an excellent economic model," he said. "We've got Christmas in December and Tales of the Cocktail in July."

The special exhibition Rembrandt's Century, closing on June 2, is remarkable not only for its breadth but also for the fact that it is drawn primarily from the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts (AFGA), the works on paper department at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. As curator Jim Ganz relates, this exhibition's compilation required an epic treasure hunt through the Museums' permanent collections, an endeavor that proved neither easy nor efficient, but was ultimately incredibly fruitful.Read More »
One of the most exciting aspects of working in paper conservation at the Legion of Honor is the variety of objects encountered on a daily basis. When working on a 17th-century print, for example, conservation intern Laura Neufeld faced many traditional paper conservation challenges. Pier Gustafson's Father's Suitcase, on the other hand, is a one-of-a kind artwork that required unique treatment solutions.Read More »

Benze announces candidacy for 35th District seat
Robert Benze announced last week hes running for the House 35th District Position 2 seat this fall.
Benze, who worked for the Navy at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for 28 years in the nuclear engineering department as a nuclear and environmental engineer, was involved with the Legislature in 1991 and 1992 as a Senate appointee to the DSHS Child Welfare Citizen Advisory Board.
Throughout that experience, I was able to serve as a voice for Washington States most vulnerable citizens, its children, Benze said. I was able to utilize my leadership abilities to advocate for much needed change.
Benze is the first Republican to declare his intent to run against three-term Democrat incumbent William Eickmeyer of Belfair.
As your next state representative, I plan to represent the interests of the people of the 35th District. I intend to tackle the issues that are foremost on our citizens minds, while making the difficult decisions necessary to get our state back on track, Benze said.
He stated his priorities are to improve the states business climate, stabilizing taxes and enacting health insurance reform.
Benze has over three decades of experience in supervisory and management positions, both inside and outside government. He has organized and led numerous Navy projects over the years while working with groups such as the Environmental Protection Agency. He was awarded the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Award the highest honor for civilians for his engineering work throughout the years.
I would bring a strong management and technical background to Olympia, and have a history of working towards establishing consensus on difficult issues, Benze said.
Benze lives in Silverdale with his wife Joan. They have five children and five grandchildren.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) You ever see those people who are always smiling? No matter what they're doing: driving, shopping or even pumping gas, they are doing it with a smile. Are they really that happy to be inhaling fumes? Is it a habitually worn smile-mask or are they just that dang contented?
Maybe so, if they live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas America's happiest city, according to the Harris Poll Happiness Index.
In fact, one-third of Americans say they are very happy and apparently where you live has a lot to do with it. Americans in Dallas/Fort Worth are more likely than those in any of America's other top markets to qualify as "very happy" (with 38% qualifying as such, vs. a 10-city average of 33%).
The least-happy Americans among the Top 10 markets in the U.S. live in San Francisco, with only 28% of its residents qualifying as "very happy."
Here are the Top 10 Happiest Cities in the U.S. (from happiest to least-happy):
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas (38% "very happy")
These happy Texans are most likely to say their spiritual beliefs are a positive guiding force to them (75%) and that they rarely worry about their health (59%), as well as being among the least likely to feel their voices are not heard in national decisions that affect them (67%).But even America's happiest city shows room for improvement. Dallas/Fort Worth residents are among the Americans least likely to agree that they have positive relationships with their family members (though it's worth noting that 83% do agree with this sentiment), and they among the most likely to agree that they rarely engage in hobbies and pastimes they enjoy (34%).
Houston, Tex. (36% "very happy")
Like their neighbors in north Texas, Houston residents are also among those most likely to say their spiritual beliefs are a positive guiding force to them (79%) and among the least likely to feel their voices are not heard in national decisions that affect them (67%).

Family of captive U.S. soldier Bergdahl welcomes Taliban offer
News that the Taliban is open to a prisoner swap is bringing renewed hope to supporters of a captive soldier from the Northwest.
Bowe Bergdahl of Hailey, Idaho, has been a Taliban prisoner for nearly four years now. But there's still no timeline for Bergdahl's return.
A senior Taliban spokesman in Doha, Qatar, told the Associated Press that the group would be willing to turn over Bergdahl in exchange for five Taliban operatives held at Guantanamo Bay. It would be the first step—a confidence-building measure—in wider negotiations over the future of Afghanistan.
But the details of such an exchange could be complicated, says Dan Markey, who studies U.S. foreign policy in South Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations.
"This has been tied up with the politics of Guantanamo here, as well as on the specifics of what would happen to the five Taliban commanders—you know, what would exactly happen to them once they left," Markey said.
Markey says a likely condition would be the release of the Guantanamo prisoners into third-party supervision by the Qatari government.
Bergdahl's parents said through a military spokesman in Idaho that they're encouraged by the latest developments.
Twenty-seven-year-old Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is the only known U.S. POW from the war in Afghanistan.

|eBay Basics Tested

Topic: eBay Basics — How to Determine if eBay is a Good Marketing Channel for Your Products
We recently released the recording of our eBay clinic. You can listen to a recording of this clinic here:
In previous reports, we have looked at a variety of pay-per-click (PPC) and comparison shopping engines. With a few exceptions, we have found that these two marketing channels can be effective for a number of different product types and price margins.
But what about eBay -- does this undisputed leader in online auctions represent a viable marketing channel for your retail business? Or is it prohibitively expensive for many products? How can you determine if eBay is right for you?
This report will answer these questions and offer a number of insights into running an effective eBay campaign.
Will eBay Work for You?
To understand the potential effectiveness of eBay as a marketing medium, we should compare it to other popular marketing channels such as PPC engines and comparison shopping sites. Which of these channels provides the most profit potential?
Consider the following campaigns on a PPC Engine (i.e. Google AdWords or Overture) and Comparison Site (i.e. DealTime or PriceGrabber):
What You Need To UNDERSTAND: In the three hypothetical campaigns above, the gross profit at three price points is weighed against the PPC costs. We have chosen price points of $45, $150, and $700 to compare these channels to eBay, below.
In Campaign A, comparison sites are not profitable because of the higher CPC. We often find this is the case for small average orders or a low gross margin.
These charts were created using a special Excel spreadsheet that we developed for the purpose of calculating the potential effectiveness of pay-per-click and comparison engines.
You can download that spreadsheet here:
The spreadsheet allows you to plug in your own "average order price" and "gross margin" and then provides your "break-even conversion rate" and predicts your potential profit based on an actual conversion rate that you can modify.
Keep in mind that the above campaigns are highly idealized in order to provide a clear illustration of potential profit, which we will compare to eBay below. The 3.00% conversion rate remains static throughout the three campaigns. In real campaigns, your actual conversion rate may vary greatly.
KEY POINT: The conversion rate of PPC and Comparison engines will often vary significantly. In general, comparison engines tend to convert at a higher rate for most products. You can plug your actual conversion rate numbers into the spreadsheet above.
Now consider these same three price points (with the same 20% gross margin) on eBay:
What You Need To UNDERSTAND: eBay's pricing structure is much more complicated than PPC and comparison engines, which simply charge a per-click fee. Insertion Fees are charged whether your item sells or not. Final Value Fees are assessed based on the actual selling price. The table above was also created using our eBay pricing guidelines in the spreadsheet above.
The fees involved with eBay listings can eat into profits significantly, especially when auctions close unsuccessfully.
* Final Value Fees are charged as a variable percentage of the final sale price. This fee for these auctions is based on 5.25% of the first $25 plus 2.75% of the remaining price (up to $1000). eBay's fee structure is covered in detail at: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html
If you think of these campaigns in terms of "unsuccessful sales", then eBay becomes prohibitively expensive much more quickly than PPC or comparison engines. In an unsuccessful PPC or comparison sale, you simply lose the per-click fee; in an unsuccessful eBay auction, you lose the entire insertion fee.
For example, a $45 item selling on eBay would become unprofitable if it failed to sell just five times. If it sold on the sixth attempt, your fees would total $9.06 and would exceed your gross profit.
KEY POINT: Your top priority should be making sure your eBay items actually sell. Pay close attention to the "sell-through rate" of all your eBay listings. In the following section, we have listed eight guidelines for creating successful eBay campaigns.
Many of these insights come from our research partner Chris Chenault from:
Chris's experience on eBay is a testament to how successful eBay campaigns can be, if they are optimized for the right kinds of products with the right margins.
Generally, our examples and recommendations above are based on fixed-price eBay listings. The performance of "true auctions" is usually much more difficult to predict, but can be successful for certain rare or unique products.
One positive final note is that eBay continues to grow 50% or more each year. If you can carve a niche for yourself in this market, you can create a significant auxiliary income stream that will grow along with your business.

9 from KHS prep for sign language competition
KINGSTON — Students from Kingston High School's American Sign Language Club will compete at the Sign Off at Mount Tahoma High School, March 23.
Nine club members, also enrolled in classes with ASL teacher Beth Schoenberg, will compete individually or in small groups. The top three performers in each category will earn prizes. There are some bragging rights to be earned, too, Schoenberg said.
This is the second time students from KHS have participated in the Sign Off.
The competition includes five different types of performances, from storytelling to skits. All of the competitions are done using sign language. One group from KHS, for example, will perform a shortened version of "Rumpelstiltskin."
Students will perform in front of a panel of judges who are either deaf or are professional interpreters.
Schoenberg said the students are "taking it very seriously." Of the nine, a few have studied sign language for about six months.
"It takes a lot of courage," Schoenberg said. "I have a really good batch of students."
Students from the ASL classes will attend the event to support their fellow signers, and maybe pick up a few more signing skills while they're at it. The club and ASL classes intertwine; members of the club also attend ASL classes.
The ASL program, Schoenberg said, has grown almost every year. This year, there are about 130 students in ASL 1-3. It's a full schedule of classes for Schoenberg.

- Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Addresses Senate Ag Committee Regarding U.S. Agriculture and the Next Farm Bill
- Cuts to next farm bill
More About:
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack spoke before the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry on Thursday, May 26 regarding the next farm bill. Here are his comments:
"Madam Chairwoman, Ranking Member and Members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to discuss U.S. agriculture and the next farm bill.
"Many folks don't recognize it, but America's farmers and our agriculture industry are responsible in no small way for the health and strength of this nation. Not only do we rely on American agriculture for our food, feed, fiber and fuel, our agricultural producers preserve our environment and help drive our national economy.
"Agriculture is responsible for one out of every 12 jobs in America. And while many sectors of our economy are running trade deficits, American agriculture has enjoyed a trade surplus for nearly 50 years. This year we expect a record surplus and record agricultural exports should help support more than 1 million jobs across the nation.
"What's more, the incredible productivity of America's farmers and ranchers makes us more prosperous. American families spend only about 6 or 7¢ out of every dollar on food – less than in almost any other nation. That means we spend more on a nice home, save for retirement, or fund our children's college education.
"And America's farmers have taken extraordinary steps to take care of our nation's natural resources. In the last 30 years alone, USDA has worked to help producers reduce soil erosion by more than 40% and agriculture has gone from being the leading cause of wetland loss to leading the entire nation in wetland restoration efforts. Our farms act as carbon sinks, mitigating the impact of global warming. Farmlands, pasture and forests help clean the water we drink and the air we breathe.
"But America's farmers – as the Chairwoman has noted in her invitation to this hearing – also have a role in feeding a growing world population. They do this not only through historic productivity and record exports, but through the development and embrace of new research, and innovative practices, technologies and institutional structures that can be shared with the rest of the world.
"At USDA, we support farmers in both their domestic responsibilities and international role. Additionally, the Department seeks to conserve the nations national resources, build thriving rural communities, and ensure that every American has access to healthy, safe, affordable food.
"So as you prepare to write a new farm bill, you will have to discuss how USDA continues to support these various goals. At the same time, there will be considerable external pressures on that process: fiscal and political realities about the size of the debt, the deficit, and the tight budget environment they have inspired.

Hi Tricia
Dan, an old guy from Canada, here. Your posts intrigue me. You mentioned at the beginning that you couldn't afford a gym membership. Check out the TRX system on the web. It's cheap and it fits in a small bag. Adapts to all fitness levels. All you need is a tree branch or a monkey bar. My trainer brought me one last week and it is amazing.
I'll be following your progress. Wish you the best.

I like this
I like the t-shirts that are available on here, the design and the Grok man.
However when i consider that most problems or sticking points regarding the primal lifestyle are generally solved by asking the question "what would Grok do" i'm left rather deflated when i look at these t-shirts.
I'm pretty sure Grok wouldn't wear black or white t-shirts or a black or white loin cloth now i come to think about it.
As we take our dietry commitment back thousands of years i can't help thinking that the t-shirts should reflect this, i'm thinking nice shades of green or earthy tones of brown like the t-shirts they sell in Sedona that are representative of the red rocks there.
I'm pretty sure t-shirts coloured in natural earth tones are far more fitting to our pursuit of a primal lifestyle than the modern day processed colours that are available.
These natural colours conjour up a feeling of harmony with mother nature and the planet.
Maybe it's just me,,,???

Maybe he will be held accountable for his actions instead of a ridiculous plea deal since he has been charged outside of Warren County.

Good Router 06/02/2014
This review is from: D-Link Amplifi HD Media Router 2000 (DIR-827) Wireless N600, Dual-Band, HD Fuel QoS, Gigabit, USB SharePort Mobile, SD Card Slot
Had it for 8 months now. Have only had to re-boot it twice. Very quick even with 3+ cell phones on Wi-Fi, two computers downloading (also via Wi-Fi), and streaming HD content on the Smart TV (Smart TV running on 5GHz, all others on 2.4GHz)
Gets really hot! I have a special table that hides the router between a hidden shelf under the top surface. The top of the table gets *hot* from the router, even though its a 1/2" piece of wood! This may cause issues in the long run...we'll see.

Cron experiences Futures Game with his dad …
Angels first base prospect C.J. Cron laced a single to left field in the fourth inning at Citi Field on Sunday, and waiting for him at first base was his father, Chris Cron, who was coaching Team USA at the Sirius/XM All-Star Futures Game.
"That was a pretty cool feeling," C.J. (the one on the left) said, a big smile on his face after the United States defeated the World team, 4-2.
Chris manages the Tigers' Double-A affiliate in Eerie, Penn., and was invited to take part. Sunday was the first time he had coached his son since travel ball during his high school days.
"I'm not smart enough to know the right adjective to use, but anything that happens is going to be icing on the cake," Chris said prior to a game in which his son batted cleanup, eventually going 1-for-3. "I'm just so glad that we're here together, doing this together. He's sort of following in the footsteps and he's just maturing as a young man. He's a great kid."
Chris was primarily a first baseman who appeared in six Major League games each with the Angels and White Sox from 1991-92. If his son keeps up his current pace, his career will span much longer.
C.J. played with a torn labrum in his shoulder for Class A Inland Empire in 2012, hitting 27 homers and driving in 123 runs – one shy of the franchise's Minor League record – before finally going under the knife with only a handful of games left in the season. And the 23-year-old right-handed slugger hasn't skipped a beat at Double-A this year, batting .287 with a .332 on-base percentage and, with a new sidearm motion, managing to play 80 of his 87 games at first base.
He's hit only eight home runs, a dip in power that might've been a byproduct of having his shoulder surgically repaired, but he's nonetheless been among the best producers of a depleted farm system — though he seemingly has no path to the big leagues with his current organization.
"I'm extremely proud of how he's been able to do what he's done in professional baseball," Chris said. "I can't say I'm surprised at his quick recovery or anything like that. You're hoping that that's the way it's supposed to be. You just put too much trust in the medical industry nowadays that you're going to fix people. You're going to get a second chance. He has, and he's obviously taken advantage of it and doing a heck of a job."

Professional growth in science involves more than climbing the career ladder and securing a tenured professorship position at a university. To be truly succesful, researchers are required to secure funding, manage people in their laboratories, collaborate with others, publish papers, mentor and be mentored, attend conferences, give presentations, and do many other things. HIVe has a number of resources that help young and established scientists in the HIV vaccine field to navigate this complex environment.

Career profiles of eminent figures in the field
Articles on the current situation in scientific careers
Articles on Mentorship
One of the major pillars of the Enterprise's 2010 Scientific Strategic Plan was development of young and early careers investigators (YECI), with particular focus on those from the developing world. However, for unknown reason, our leaders in the developing world have tended to overlook the critical role that young people, especially scientists can play in alleviating the problems of not just this region, but the entire world.
In this open letter to the president published in the Ugandan daily--the monitor, I remind the president of Uganda about former pledges he has made "towards supporting HIV cure/vaccine research". As member of steering committee of the YECI, I am committed to pushing this agenda until we have results. Its unfortunate that I was not previledged to attend the recent AU summit on HIV that took place in Addis, but step by step--I promise, we will get to these leaders.

ALLENDALE, MI -– Grand Rapids Christian boys golf coach Ken Bokhoven knows that his team can post a better score than it did Friday afternoon.
And that would be bad news for the other teams in the Division 2 state finals field considering where the Eagles wound up after the first day of play.
Grand Rapids Christian fired a 315 at Grand Valley State's The Meadows and leads the tournament by six strokes over East Lansing. East Grand Rapids shot 326 and is in fifth, while OK Blue Conference champion Comstock Park is 10th at 340.
The Eagles are in pursuit of their first state championship after placing a program-best third three years ago.
"We were inconsistent today," Bokhoven said. "We did not play up to our potential. I had two guys play up to their potential and two guys that know they can be better. And our fifth guy shot an 80 for us."
Grand Rapids Christian was led by junior Ben VanScoyk, who carded two birdies while shooting a 3-over 75 and is tied for the overall lead with three other players. Junior Tommy Reitema shot a 5-over 77, while sophomore Mitch Knoor and senior Tom Voskuil had rounds of 80 and 83, respectively.
"If you're going to be anywhere, why not be in first place," Bokhoven said. "The rest of them are shooting at you and you have the target on your back. They have to come and get us, and I thought we should've been in the top five.
"I thought if we could shoot in the teens then we could be in pretty good shape, and we are the only team to shoot in the teens."
VanScoyk's Friday play was strong enough to put himself in the title mix along with Hamilton sophomore Nick Carlson, who also shot a 75 while seeking a second straight state championship.
"I was putting well on the front nine and I hit some good shots into the greens on the back," VanScoyk said. "I hit of lot of greens, and I'm very excited for (Saturday). I just have to hit a lot of fairways and greens and continue to par holes."
VanScoyk and Carlson are joined at the top of the individual leaderboard with Comstock Park junior Ryan Bayer, Detroit Country Day's Rishi Patel and Notre Dame Prep's Jack Zohoury.
Three players shot 76, including Forest Hills Northern freshman Spencer Schab, and are one stroke back.
"I'm right there, and I'm playing good," Carlson said. "I hit the ball really good, and I just needed a couple more putts to fall or have a couple bad lies turn into good lies. It was right there, and I'll be fine for (Saturday)."
Carlson was 3-under through five holes after making three birdies. His strong start was derailed by consecutive bogies on No. 9, No. 10 and No. 11.
"I'll stick to the game plan for tomorrow, and it worked out extremely well today," Carlson said. "I think I hit two or three drivers, and my game plan was just to hit irons off the tee. It seems like it is working so far, so I'll just let it happen (Saturday)."
Bayer, playing his first state tournament, used a hot putter to earn a share of the first-day lead.
"My putter was working, and I didn't have any three-putts," Bayer said. "I'm pretty sure everyone had at last one or two three-putts because the greens got faster and faster as the day went on.
"I'm wishing I could have a couple shots back, and I put one in the water on No. 13 and made a double, but other than that I was pretty solid all day. My heart was pounding on the first tee because I was so nervous, but I really didn't hit any bad shots until No. 13."
East Grand Rapids was led by Graham Dowling and Campbell Crosby, who both shot 80

scene description
Scene Info
Adam Ramzi hitchhikes a ride from the city and is let out on a country road. Thunder rolls and there are cattle in every direction. A red muscle car pulls over and Seven Dixon leans across the seat. 'Get in.' Seven drives to an old barn. As soon as his hands are off the wheel, they're all over Adam. Their bodies collide. Seven has bulging biceps and broad tan shoulders. 'Well Bred' is inked across his shoulder blades and there's a large numeral 7 on both sides of his neck. He tosses Adam's slender frame on the front seat and dives onto the hard cock that projects like a stick shift. Adam flexes his hips to drive his cock into Seven's warm mouth. When he gets out of the car, he is a pillar of slim muscle fucking Seven's face until they are both covered in sweat. Seven props himself against the car door and arches his back, saying 'get in' in another way. His bubble ass is a magnet for Adam's tongue and cock. Adam drills him on the car and on the ground until his balls are about to burst, then plunges his cock into Seven's mouth and shoots wildly as Seven drenches his ripped abs with cum.

A new study from Baylor University points out that words, even from humans, can still create something that matters -- in this case, reconciliation.
After a person has been wronged, researchers found, just being treated better isn't enough.
Anyone who has been wronged needs to hear from the person who troubled their life that he or she is sorry.
This study reminds me of the important work that South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission which gave those who had wronged others during the dark years of Apartheid the opportunity to begin to make amends, first with words, then with actions.
God created the world with words -- human beings, it turns out, can create a better world with words (and deeds).
Here is the release, just out from the smart people at Baylor University--
Actions Don't Always Speak Louder Than Words
— At Least, Not When It Comes to Forgiveness
WACO, Texas (July 18, 2012) — People are more likely to show forgiving behavior if they receive restitution, but they are more prone to report they have forgiven if they get an apology, according to Baylor University research published in the Journal of Positive Psychology.
The article on the study — "Do Actions Speaker Louder than Words? Differential Effects of Apology and Restitution and Self-Report Measures of Forgiveness" — underscores the importance of both restitution and apology and of using multiple measures for forgiveness, including behavior, said Jo-Ann Tsang, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences.
"One of the main reasons for using behavioral measures in addition to self-reporting by individuals is that they can make themselves look better by only self-reporting, although they don't necessarily intend to lie," she said. "And it may be that 'I forgive you' is a more conscious feeling if they receive an apology."
In the study, 136 undergraduate psychology students were stationed in individual cubicles and told that raffle tickets for a $50 gift card would be given out in three rounds, with 10 tickets per round to be divided between a participant and a unknown "partner." They also were told they might receive a note from the partner.
In the first round, participants were given only two of the 10 tickets split between them and their partners; in the second, they got nine. Some were told the distributions were made by the partner; others were told it was by chance.
Some participants received an apology note from their partners on the second round, saying, "Sorry about that first round. I got carried away, and I feel really bad that I did that." Some participants also received raffle tickets back from their partners in the second round, a form of restitution. In the last round, the participants were given the chance to be in charge of distributions themselves.
Researchers examined the links between apology, restitution, empathy and forgiveness, measuring forgiveness in two ways: Through behavior (how many raffle tickets participants gave to their partners on the third round); and self-reporting on a questionnaire, with participants telling how highly they rated their motivation to forgive.
Researchers wrote that "making amends can facilitative forgiveness, but not all amends can fully compensate for offenses." Apology may be needed to repair damage fully, but it may be a "silent forgiveness," while restitution without apology may lead to a "hollow forgiveness" in which the offenders are treated better but not necessarily forgiven.
"The results suggest that if transgressors seek both psychological and interpersonal forgiveness from their victims, they must pair their apologies with restitution," they wrote. "Apparently, actions and words speak loudest in concert."
Baylor University is a private Christian university in Waco, Texas, with about 15,000 students. Its research programs have been ranked as a national leader by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

The St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission agreed Tuesday to stricter rules for setbacks, buffers and building heights in the medical research district after hearing concerns from neighbors near the Tulane National Primate Research Center.
The commission recommended that the Parish Council adopt an ordinance amending the parish's unified development code related to the MD-4 district to enact the new regulations. The council isn't expected to vote on the matter until February at the earliest.
Tulane has agreed to place a 75-foot, no-cut buffer around the center's perimeter and to restrict buildings within 75 feet of adjacent residences to no higher than 45 feet. At 150 feet, Tulane could place 75-foot-tall buildings, and at 250 feet, it could place 100-foot buildings.
Without the change, Tulane would be allowed to build 100-foot-tall buildings 100 feet from residences.
In addition, the university agreed to prohibit animal corrals within 200 feet of adjacent residences.
The council voted in October to rezone the nearly 530 acres where the center sits as MD-4. Three Rivers Road cuts through most of the compound, with the Bogue Falaya River serving as its western boundary and at least three neighborhoods -- Estates of Northpark, Versailles Estates and Flower Estates -- adjacent.
The council had zoned the site as a public facilities district as a temporary measure during the comprehensive rezoning process after realizing that the parish's new zoning code did not include a designation for a medical research facility. The council then created the MD-4 district and asked Tulane to request the new designation.
The parish's Zoning Commission recommended in May that the council approve the MD-4 district for Tulane, but several residents appealed the decision. The council then tabled the matter for five months while both sides worked on a compromise.
About 100 residents attended the October meeting to oppose the zoning change, fearing primarily that the 100-foot building heights and minimal setbacks allowed by MD-4 would lower their property values and damage the character of their neighborhoods.
Cori Renfroe, who lives in Northpark, thanked Tulane for working with residents on the compromise. However, she asked the commission to limit to 7,500 the number of animals that Tulane is allowed to keep on the property.
Jeff Schoen, who represents Tulane, said the center has some 5,000 animals and that number has remained static for the past 15 years. He said Tulane has no plans to increase the number of animals, but he could not say for certain what might happen in the future. He asked the commission not to impose the limit that Renfroe suggested, noting that several agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, monitor the center to ensure the animals are properly housed and the that the animal density is appropriate.
The commission imposed no restriction on the number of animals.

According to the report, the kits are currently available at law enforcement agencies including the Three Rivers Police Department, the Sturgis Police Department and the St. Joseph County Juvenile Court, but they can also be requested from pharmacies and other police agencies.
No records are kept of who purchases the kits, the report notes, and parents aren't required to report positive test results to police.
Don Happel, a Juvenile Court referee, is quoted in the report as calling the test "a lie detector kit."
Other officials are quoted as saying the tests could help kids overcome peer pressure to do drugs and help keep them from facing a drug record if law enforcement were involved, rather than parents, in addressing drug use.

Six sea lions found dead below Bonneville Dam about a week and a half ago apparently died when they overheated inside floating cages set out by state officials on the Columbia River, federal authorities said Wednesday.
Investigators looking into the deaths said they still do not know whether the doors of the cages closed inadvertently or someone yanked on ropes to shut them.
However, the disclosure of how the animals died raises the possibility that the federally protected sea lions were killed not by foul play, but by a state trapping program gone awry.

TRENTON - One year to the day after 23-year-old Daquan Dowling was gunned down during a drive-by homicide on Route 29, friends and family members gathered on the highway yesterday afternoon to erect a memorial cross in his honor.
It was a powerful moment for loved ones of Dowling, who say they still feel the loss of someone they describe as dynamic and caring.
"I caught myself just looking for pieces of the car right now," his mother Saundra said. "I just want to see, did he leave anything?"
"I don't know what I feel," Dowling's sister Quinnesha said. "I don't know how to feel."
Police later said that Dowling's passenger, not him, was the target of the gunmen who fired from a moving car. The crime left a quarter-mile scene that led police to close the highway near the Statehouse for 16 hours. Three men have been charged and could be on trial soon.
"I'm going," said Dowling's stepfather Mincey Edwards. "I gotta hear myself on how they felt when they approached that car and shot, what was going through their minds."
"God needed an angel," said Dowling's aunt Tara said of her nephew. "And he was an angel."

Poor Kathy Dunderdale. Turfed out of office in just two years after winning an election. Who would have thought? However, in hindsight we should have seen it coming.
After all, following in the footsteps of the most popular premier in Newfoundland's history couldn't have been easy.
Actually, she can thank Danny Williams for sowing the seeds of her eventual downfall.
Danny Williams would be an impossible act to follow. Whoever followed the likeable and charismatic premier was always going to fail the comparison test.
And that's why no one wanted to be the new Progressive Conservative party leader when Danny Williams retired. His were big shoes to fill.
To her credit, Kathy Dunderdale accepted the job when no one else would. However, what she didn't foresee was how much Danny Williams' past decisions would negatively affect her future.
Chickens come home to roost
It was Danny Williams' government that went on a hiring spree, increasing the civil service by far too much and far too quickly. While there were areas that surely needed increased staffing, there was no need to go on a binge. (We have more employees per capita on the government payroll than any other province in Canada.)
And to make matters worse, Danny Williams decided that all civil servants deserved a significant pay raise.
This was simply not justified (civil servants were doing quite well, thank you very much). There may have been targeted groups that required large increases for retention purposes, etc., but a significant "across the board" increase for all civil servants — no way!
While money may have been flowing in from oil royalties, anyone with half a grain of financial sense should have seen what was bound to eventually happen with such a huge increase in your labour costs.
It took a few years, but the chickens finally came home to roost.
Oil revenues weren't increasing at the same rate as government expenses and labour costs are a large part of your expenses, therefore, cuts had to be made.
However, it wasn't Danny Williams who had to make the unpopular decision to lay off civil servants.
It was Kathy Dunderdale.
Firing 1,000 civil servants is never a nice thing to do, but it had to be done. Truth be told, there should probably have been many more that should have been let go.
The unfortunate part here is that they should have never been hired in the first place.
So Kathy Dunderdale takes the hit for something that Danny Williams did. Hardly fair, is it?
Kathy can also thank Danny for giving her Muskrat Falls.
I applaud Danny Williams' vision on the energy project.
In his second term, he laid the political groundwork for this massive project, which I feel will prove itself in the long run.
While getting the basic agreement with the Nova Scotia government and others in place can be hard work and speaks to Danny Williams' negotiating ability, the hard slog comes later.
This fell to Kathy Dunderdale — and to her credit, she pursued it like a dog with a bone.
She had to fight off opponents of Muskrat Falls that were against it for political reasons only, other opponents who were sincere but probably misinformed, she had to fight the Public Utilities Board and virtually every journalist and editorial writer in the province, deal with a new Nova Scotia government having second thoughts and, at the same time, curry favour with Stephen Harper for the loan guarantee (against the backdrop of Harper being the most disliked PM in Newfoundland's history). We can thank Danny in part for that, too.
The hard tough dirty grind to bring this project from concept to construction was done by Kathy Dunderdale, not Danny Williams.
While he had the vision, she's the one with the strong back.
But I bet you, years from now, when this project is successfully paying dividends as a renewal natural resource, it will be considered Danny's project.
Kathy Dunderdale has had her own failures to be sure, Bill 29 probably being the biggest.
A more politically astute premier should have recognized this bill, rightly or wrongly, was viewed by everybody in a negative light. She should have realized this, done something about it and moved on.
Instead her stubbornness got in the way of political smarts. It became another nail in her coffin.
I still feel that Kathy Dunderdale was, and is, a very sincere person who had nothing but this province's interest at heart.
I believe she worked hard and tirelessly for this province and deserves our thanks.
I believe also that she was unfortunately set up for failure.
Poor Kathy Dunderdale.

CAMDEN — The Camden Children's Garden will not be evicted on Easter.
Mike Devlin, executive director of the embattled nonprofit, stated he has heard from state Sen. Donald Norcross and U.S. Rep. Robert Andrews that the state Department of Treasury has suspended its March 31 deadline, in favor of extended talks.
"All I have at the moment, and I'm happy to have it, is word that they're not going to evict us at the end of the week," said Devlin. "Which is good, because the day after Easter we have 400 Camden kids coming in for a free day at the garden — something they can enjoy for free during their Easter vacation."
A spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Treasury on Wednesday confirmed the deadline has been nixed, adding that the state wants more time to review a packet of information received from Devlin and the children's garden.
"It has information about the programs and operations [at the children's garden] and we'll be analyzing their space needs and continuing to talk in order to come to an agreement," said treasury spokesman Bill Quinn. "We want to come to an agreement that allows them to continue to fulfill their mission."
The fight over the Camden Children's Garden erupted in January, when the Treasury Department sent Devlin a letter claiming ownership of the 4.5-acre property, which is located near the state-owned, privately operated Adventure Aquarium.
The state gave Devlin a March 31 deadline to "contract their footprint" by roughly 90 percent, offering an option to retain office and greenhouse space.
The land would have then been transferred to the private, Georgia-based operators of the aquarium, state officials have said.
"Initially, we were looking at other options of ways to help economic development in Camden," said the treasury spokesman on Wednesday.
However, Devlin continues to call into question the state's ownership of the land, which the children's garden has occupied since 1999.
"I still feel they don't have good papers," he said. "The document they cited is dated before we opened in 1999, but they didn't file the deed until 12 years later, in 2011.
"We've had five governors during that period — three of them had events here. None of them said they owned the place."
