The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Last December, at a contentious hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, a group consisting almost entirely of men weighed in on women's health care. Millions of federal dollars were at stake. Two Obama officials were facing an inquisition. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.)—who wasn't even a member of the committee but was invited by chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) to speak—was red-faced and practically shouting as he delivered his opening remarks: "The Obama administration's bias against Catholics is an affront to religious freedom and a threat to all people," he inveighed.
Smith's attack was rooted in a now-familiar dispute—the escalating war between conservatives and the Obama administration over reproductive health. But there was a special wrinkle: Smith was concerned with foreigners forced into prostitution in the United States—and the right of the Catholic Church to refuse to provide them with access to birth control and abortion.
Thanks to legislation authored by Smith, the federal government spends millions of dollars each year to help human trafficking victims recover. Since 2006 virtually all of the money has gone to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, the church's leadership in Washington. But in September the Obama administration declined to renew the contract. It wanted to ensure that victimized women had access to full reproductive health care, and the bishops had forbidden the grant money to be used for services they deemed immoral.
Ever since, Smith and other USCCB supporters have been denouncing Obama, accusing him of an unconscionable attack on religious freedom. The House committee spent three hours grilling the Obama officials, pressing them on whether an anti-Catholic bias was at work inside the White House. A far more public blowup came a few weeks later, when the administration required Catholic-affiliated institutions like hospitals and universities to provide contraceptive benefits to employees. The president would ultimately engineer a compromise, shifting the payment responsibility to insurance companies, but even that did nothing to quell the outcry.
Allegations that Obama is anti-Catholic promise to escalate as Republicans seek to win key Catholic voting blocs in states such as Florida and Ohio. But warring over women's reproductive health may be risky: National surveys show that the majority of women, including among Catholics, agree with Obama's policies on birth control and are turned off by Republicans' emphasis on the issue. Meanwhile, in the trafficking fight, Republican tactics could end up hurting the very victims that politicians like Smith claim to be fighting for: people like "Celia," a teenager who was beaten, raped, and impregnated before being rescued in 2006 by law enforcement officials who broke up a sex trafficking ring in California.
The bishops' protestations are no coincidence, but rather fit with a strategic battle dating back more than a decade. In 1998 the Catholic magazine Crisis observed that America's 50 million Catholics had emerged as the "Holy Grail of coalition politics." For decades, Catholics had been reliable Democrats, but as that began to change, the magazine commissioned pollster Steven Wagner, who'd helped craft the GOP's 1994 Contract With America, to undertake a study of Catholic voters. The results indicated that Catholics who didn't spend much time in the pews remained largely Democratic. But conservatives, Wagner argued, were missing an opportunity to tap into a pool of swing voters: active Catholics who go to Mass at least once a week and whose views were starting to align with those of evangelical Christians.
The Crisis editor who'd commissioned the poll, Deal Hudson, led an outreach effort for George W. Bush's presidential campaign; Bush sought wider support from religious voters in part by pledging to knock down barriers to faith-based organizations getting federal contracts. Hudson's reward was to helm the first-ever Catholic advisory committee to the White House. (He stepped down in 2004 from Bush's reelection campaign in the wake of news that he'd "surrendered his tenure" as professor at Fordham University after a student accused him of sexual harassment.) Meanwhile, in 2003 pollster Wagner went to work leading the recently established human trafficking office within the Department of Health and Human Services despite having little relevant experience. "I actually at that time had never heard of human trafficking," he acknowledged in an interview at his office on Capitol Hill, where he now works as a political consultant.
The federal program to help trafficking victims owes its existence to the advocacy of an unusual coalition of evangelical, feminist, and human rights groups in the 1990s. By 1999 they persuaded Congress to hold hearings, in which sex trafficking victims from Nepal, Russia, and Mexico told horrific stories and a State Department official testified that as many as 50,000 women and children were trafficked to America every year.
Rep. Smith and his colleagues responded with legislation that would be endorsed by everyone from Gloria Steinem to the National Association of Evangelicals. It pumped millions of dollars into victim services, prevention, and law enforcement efforts to prosecute ringleaders. But when Wagner took charge of the trafficking office, he discovered that the effort was proving something of a bust: Law enforcement had trouble finding traffickers inside the country to prosecute, and the government was giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to an array of nonprofit groups serving few, if any, victims.
Wagner concluded that nonprofits should get funds only if they actually served victims. He advocated an approach used by the bishops, who were already getting federal funding and doling it out to subcontractors on a per capita basis to help trafficking victims. After a bidding process in which USCCB was one of two organizations vying for the money, it ended up with all of the $19 million dedicated for trafficking victim services from 2006 through 2011.*
The bishops took about a third of the money for administrative costs. With the rest, they paid subcontractors around the country to provide services—on the church's terms. Subcontractors could not discuss contraception or abortion, or even use staff time to refer clients for such services, on the church's dime. (It is illegal to use federal money to pay for abortion except in the most extreme cases, but before the bishops took over, the funding could go toward providing abortion information and referrals.)
Some of the subcontractors, especially the secular ones, bristled at the restrictions. "We're talking about a group of people [who] have endured rape and no health care, so many of them have untreated infections," says Florrie Burke, who serves on the steering committee of the New York Anti-Trafficking Network. "Many of them have been exposed to HIV. They've had forced abortions. The gynecological issues are horrendous."
*Correction: Due to a fact-checking error, the version of this story appearing in the May/June 2012 issue of the magazine stated that USCCB was the only large organization vying for the money; the Salvation Army also participated in the bidding process.
Until 2007, Burke was director of the anti-trafficking program at Safe Horizon, a nonprofit in New York. She says that at one point after the bishops took over, her group submitted an invoice for a gynecological exam that a victim had received at Planned Parenthood. USCCB denied payment, she says, without even inquiring about what the visit was for.
That makes sense to Wagner, who affirms that payment for a visit to Planned Parenthood would be "totally inappropriate."
By 2009 the bishops' restrictions prompted the ACLU to sue the Department of Health and Human Services*, alleging that it was unconstitutionally forcing recipients of federal money to comply with Catholic beliefs. The bishops were allowed to join the lawsuit on the side of the government, and they had motivation to do so: According to USCCB's 2010 financial report, the organization took in revenues totaling $221 million—including about $70 million worth of federal funding for various social service programs. While the trafficking contract was relatively small, the ACLU lawsuit threatened a far greater sum.
USCCB's testimony in the case—which is still ongoing—was revealing: It argued that reproductive health services simply weren't important. In one filing, lawyers wrote, "USCCB disputes as a matter of principle that abortion and contraception are 'medical services' that any person 'needs.'"
But in many parts of the country, the millions administered through the bishops may have been the only source of funds for trafficking survivors' reproductive health care, according to Susie Baldwin, a physician and public health expert in Los Angeles. In testimony prepared for a congressional hearing, Baldwin told the story of Celia, the teenager brought to an LA clinic in which she worked. Celia had been beaten and raped numerous times during her three months of captivity—and she was pregnant by the time she was brought to Baldwin's clinic. Having an abortion, Baldwin testified, "improved her ability to recover from the trauma she had experienced."
Hilary Chester, the associate director of the anti-trafficking program at USCCB, says the group is all in favor of reproductive health care. "It's clear in our staff manual that reproductive health services are very important," she says, referring to gynecological exams and screening for sexually transmitted diseases. "That is a big misconception that we didn't talk about anything below the waist."
Chester notes that subcontractors in some cases had other funds they could use and that "it was not our policy to monitor the services they provided" through those funds. "I feel like there's a misconception that it was somehow bishops in Washington, DC, making decisions about client care. But social workers ran this program. It's not old men who are celibate making these kinds of decisions."
The battle over Catholics and birth control has continued apace: In March, USCCB president Cardinal Timothy Dolan urged greater political activism among the flock. "It is a freedom of religion battle," he said during a speech in New York.
Wagner says the Obama administration is not only anti-Catholic but also anti-religious in general. The move to end the bishops' human trafficking contract is part of "an incremental strategy," in his view. "I don't think it bodes well for faith-based organizations."
"No one is entitled to government money," counters Frances Kissling, the former president of Catholics for a Free Choice. "You apply for a grant, and the money goes to the agency judged to be the best provider of the services. If you are not the best provider or can't provide the services, you can't get the grant. That doesn't mean that you were discriminated against."
In fact, the numbers suggest that the Obama administration has been quite generous toward Catholic groups. According to the administration, $673 million in federal grants went to Catholic-affiliated organizations between 2009 and 2012—compared with $549 million in the prior three years.
So much money has flowed to these groups, it has rankled civil libertarians who opposed the expansion of faith-based contracting under Bush. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, says that despite promises to do otherwise, Obama has left most of his predecessor's faith-based infrastructure in place. "I would like to think that the Obama administration, whatever people think of them, would have learned by now that if you give 80 percent of a loaf to certain groups, they will take the 80 percent and then accuse you of being a miser anyway," Lynn says.
How the battle over the funding will ultimately impact sex trafficking victims is hard to know—it remains unclear how many such victims even exist. The 1999 testimony warning of 50,000 women and children being trafficked to the United States each year turned out to be wildly overstated: The State Department official had cited a CIA study that had reportedly extrapolated the number from foreign newspaper clippings. A revised State Department estimate in 2004—now including men—put the maximum number at 17,500. But after the Government Accountability Office (PDF) raised doubts about it, State stopped citing even that figure.
Experts say the numbers are very difficult to nail down, in part because the traumatized victims are unlikely to report the crime. "We have yet to find a criminal syndicate out there with thousands of cases," Wagner admits. "I'm sure they're out there."
The bishops report that since 2006, they have served a total of 610 people who were brought to the United States for forced prostitution. They have served a total of 2,735 people, the majority of whom were labor trafficking victims brought in to be domestic servants, work in factories, or harvest crops in agricultural fields. These victims, too, are covered by the anti-trafficking law—they can get services, and in some cases special immigration visas allowing them to work legally.
But support for trafficking victims could be jeopardized if Smith has his way. Rankled over the termination of the bishops' contract, the congressman now aims to take the entire trafficking program away from Health and Human Services and transfer it to the Justice Department. Advocates for trafficking victims warn against such a move: "Justice is supposed to prosecute the bad guys," says Ron Soodalter, a historian who studies trafficking. "What are they going to do to assign benefits to victims?"
Smith's office did not return calls seeking comment, but his new bill clearly reflects his strategy: It contains language that would ban religious "discrimination" in the contracting process and give a jilted applicant the right to sue over alleged religious bias. The bill now has 15 cosponsors and is working its way through committee.
The bishops and their political allies appear to remain focused on stoking partisan fervor. "If the economy continues to strengthen, this fake war on religion might be one of the things Republicans keep hammering on," says Peter Montgomery, a senior fellow at the progressive advocacy group People for the American Way. "But I don't think it's going to be any kind of magic bullet to get Catholic voters."
Update: On March 23, 2012, Judge Richard G. Stearns ruled in favor of the ACLU, noting: "No one is arguing that the USCCB can be mandated by government to provide abortion or contraceptive services or be discriminated against for its refusal to do so. Rather, this case is about the limits of the government's ability to delegate to a religious institution the right to use taxpayer money to impose its beliefs on others (who may or may not share them)."

UTEP Knocks Off Saint Mary's, 76-64, To Move Into WNIT Sweet 16
El Paso, TEXAS - Junior Chrishauna Parker posted her second straight double-double (12 points, 12 rebounds) while senior Kayla Thornton added 17 points, and UTEP dispatched Saint Mary's, 76-64, in front of 4,703 fans at the Don Haskins Center Monday evening.
The Miners (26-7) punch their ticket to the WNIT Sweet 16, and will play host to Pacific 12 member Colorado (19-14) at 7 p.m. MDT Friday. Tickets will go on sale at 8 a.m. Wednesday, with prices remaining $6 for general admission and $4 for UTEP students. Please call (915) 747-5234 for complete ticket information.
It was a back-and-forth defensive battle, featuring three ties and six lead changes. UTEP led the Gaels (23-8) 35-25 late in the first half but the visitors fought back in a big way. They wrapped a 21-9 surge around halftime and were up 46-44 with 12:44 to play in the contest.
UTEP didn't flinch, though, striking back with a 13-1 run over the next six minutes to take control of the contest. The Gaels refused to go away quietly, whittling the deficit down to four (59-55) with 3:37 left but Kristine Vitola essentially dashed any comeback hopes with a clutch triple with 3:02 left. SMC didn't get closer than five from that point on.
The Orange and Blue's balanced attack wore down the Gaels, with Jenzel Nash providing 12 off the bench. Vitola finished with nine, as did Kelli Willingham, while Cameasha Turner added eight and Stacie Telles pitched in seven.
With both teams struggling to hit shots (UTEP 22-of-61, 36.1%, Saint Mary's 22-of-56, 39.3%), the Miners found separation in other areas. They outscored SMC, 19-5, in second-chance points, aided by a 42-34 advantage on the glass, while also holding a 17-12 cushion in points off turnovers. The Orange and Blue's bench outscored the Gaels' back-ups, 21-8, thanks primarily to the efforts of Nash and Telles.
One other major difference was in free throws. SMC, which entered the contest fourth nationally at 79.0% from the line, was 16-of-23 (69.6%) at the free-throw line. The Miners drained 80.6 percent (25-of-31), including 12-of-14 over the final two minutes of the contest.
Jackie Nared (19 points) and Danielle Mauldin (15 points) led the attack for Saint Mary's, which finished 13 points shy of its seasonal average. Shannon Mauldin pitched in nine points before fouling out while Katie Gaza managed seven points and a game-high five assists.

Syttende Mai featured guests advocate for the past, present and future of Ballard's cultural and economic vitality
By Emile Monte
Grand Marshall Marit Kristiansen and Honorary Marshalls Mari-Ann Kind Jackson and Warren Aakervik have much in common: Norwegian heritage, roots in the Ballard community, ongoing social service, and a humble wonderment over the fact of being chosen as the honorary guests at this year's particularly special Syttende Mai (17th of May) festivities marking the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian Constitution and the 125th anniversary of Ballard's celebration of its Norwegian heritage.
Together, these guests represent and serve disparate organizations and projects who share the ultimate goal of maintaining the cultural and economic vitality of Ballard.
Grand Marshall Marit Kristiansen is both excited and feeling the pressure to advocate for how Ballard's Norwegian heritage is relevant to the here and now. A member of the Sons of Norway organization since 1968, Kristiansen says that Norwegians and Norwegian-Americans "have a lot to be proud of." She is one of many advocates who work to bridge the gap between modern Ballard and modern Norway by taking part in an organization that offers classes on Nordic language and culture ("If you lose the language, you lose a large part of who you are.") as well as embraces the culture of Norway today by promoting publications, like Viking Magazine, on contemporary Nordic innovations and aesthetic. Kristiansen is especially inspired by the enthusiasm of the youth population she witnesses every year while marching in the Syttende Mai parade. She hopes that enthusiasm will carry forward and inspire younger generations to get involved in Sons of Norway.
Grand Marshall Marit Kristiansen
Honorary Marshall Mari-Ann Kind Jackson has a vision for spotlighting the cultural and personal history of Ballard's Norwegian community. Associated with the Norwegian Heritage Museum since 1988, Kind Jackson participates in the Museum's efforts to make Nordic culture accessible by featuring traditional artifacts and contemporary art and offering Nordic language classes. She's particularly excited about the Museum's immanent relocation to a brand new facility on Market St. between 26th and 28th. Facing the canal by which the Nordics first settled the area, Kind Jackson says, "the new museum is designed to bridge the old world with the new," offering to the walking traffic on the way to the Locks a soaring entry hung with Nordic boats and a café featuring traditional Nordic cuisine. Kind Jackson is especially interested in "the value of sharing," and so furthermore participates in the Voices of Ballard documentary project which interviews Norwegian-American Ballard residents about their experiences in Norway during WWII. Kind Jackson looks forward every year to walking in the Syttende Mai parade with her four grandchildren, because it's "the biggest and most visible event celebrating Norwegian culture" in the community. From experience, Kind Jackson knows that on May 17th, "Ballard will come alive."
Honorary Marshall Mari-Ann Kind Jackson
Honorary Marshall Warren Aakervik is looking to the future and he means business. It was the Norwegians who raised Ballard on the back of their traditional Maritime Industry and Aakervik, of Norwegian descent and president of Ballard Oil, is concerned with educating the younger generations of the Ballard community on the socioeconomic value of a now often misunderstood and overlooked industry. Nowadays, when people think of the economic vitality of Seattle, they think of Microsoft and Boeing, but Aakervik would remind us that "when the Norwegians brought in fishing, they brought the economic engine of Seattle," a fishing industry that remains "the largest in the country, bringing in a billion dollars each year."
Honorary Marshall Warren Aakervik
Aakervik is concerned with fostering a community that recognizes the need to be responsible for itself, a community that asks itself, "What is our future and how are we going to fund it?" Aakervik could have retired years ago, but he still feels the need to be socially active and to participate in cultural events that bring the Ballard community together. "I can't give up on my community," he said. "If I could educate everyone at the parade, I would. I suppose I've been honored because I care."

The Hunger Games doesn't hit theaters until March 23, but Us Weekly has an exclusive sneak peek from inside the pages of the magazine's special issue (on stands March 2). Liam Hemsworth plays Katniss Everdeen's (Jennifer Lawrence) best friend and hunting partner Gale Hawthorne, who comforts her little sister Primrose (Willow Shields) during the Reaping. In the pivotal scene, one boy (Josh Hutcherson) and one girl (Shields) are randomly selected to compete in the Hunger Games, where 24 tributes from 12 districts must fight to the death; Katniss volunteers to take her younger sister's place. More than 500 extras gathered at an abandoned cotton mill to film the emotionally-charged scene. "My favorite scene to film was the Reaping," 38-year-old Elizabeth Banks, who plays Effie Trinket, recently told Us. "The energy was so great around that scene. Very powerful."
We are now less than a month away from the theatrical release of The Hunger Games … and only 2 weeks away from the Hollywood premiere of the film. AND SPEAKING OF THAT PREMIERE, I have chosen a winner for the Pink is the new Blog/The Hunger Games contest for 2 free tickets to attend the film's premiere on March 12. Check your email, y'all … if YOU are the lucky winner, please email me back as soon as possible so we can confirm your prize. I will need to submit the winner's name by February 29 so … if I don't hear from the winner in time, a new winner will be chosen.
The Hunger Games is nearly upon us … are you ready? I am SO ready … really ready, already. OY!!

What kind of belt are you trying to use when you carry? Get a purpose made gun belt, that should help fix your problem, because a lot of store bought belts aren't strong enough. What kind of handguna re you trying to conceal? I carry a full size 1911 and two spare mags on my belt, no problems with the pants falling down. Also, are your pants too big to begin with?

I have the exact same problem...no butt,no hips. A good gun belt has done wonders for me. I tried using regular belts for a while but my firearm and pants just kept sagging. A good stiff gun belt solved the problem!

thanks for the quick reply. I am carrying a smith and wesson 640 revolver. currently carrying in a "smart carry". I haven't every carrried in a belt or Iwb holster, so just looking for some advice.
A good belt used in conjuction with suspenders will most likely solve your issue.
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
+1 on the suspenders. Or shoulder harness I guess, because unless you get the weight off your belt or out of your pocket - the pants are coming down. Never seen them before, but those Perry suspenders look pretty neat.
smartcarry?...and your pants fall down?...doesnt sound like a gun belt situation...
zip and button your pants....
I have used a pair of Dickie's or Perry's suspenders I got from Wal-Mart that hook directly to the belt in the past. I wore under cover shirt with this setup and it worked with most any belt. I carried a full sized 1911 for awhile with this setup and a OWB holster. Suspenders take weight off belt, suspenders are invisible this way and pants don't sag.
SOunds like keeping pants up might be tough, even without a gun & holster. The suspenders should solve the problem of keeping your pants up. A good quality gun belt will help keep the gun in place.
Turn off the hip-hop music, and turn your hat around. Then your pants will stay up.
Seriously, get a good belt made for carrying a gun.

I recently had revision surgery- capsulorrhaphy on the lateral sides of the implants. Now they appear to be a lot higher than before. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from staying this high? I'm tempted to start massaging them downwards right away, but I don't want to put pressure on the sides & open up the repaired tissue. I also don't want to wait too long before massaging & risk having them stay this high. How long after surgery is massaging or wearing a breast band still effective?
Massaging Breast Implant Downwards After Capsulorrhaphy on the Lateral Aspect, For How Long Is This Effective?
Doctor Answers 6
Massage after Capsulorrhaphy
Yes, with any revision, the breast implants sit higher until things heal. I think that you should talk to your surgeon as well because only he or she know what type of repair was performed and if massage will help or may damage the repair. Revisionary surgery is much different than the first time around so take the advice of your surgeon.

Breast Augmentation
I always have my patients massage implants daily for one year. While not a scientific data supported practice, I have very few capsule problems. I hope this info helps.
Massage after capsule repairs
Massage can bring your implants down after a capsule repair for an implant that has 'fallen off'' to the side, though they probably should not be higher in the first place if the capsule was shaped to hold the implant centered within the breast. We would like to see the result as 'perfect' at the time of repair, and then hold the result in a snug bra so the capsule repair holds tight. Hard to say just what to do. Your surgeon may have insights. Massage will do it, however you are likely to open up the side of the capsule again as well. You do have time, several months so be careful.
Best of luck,

Breast Massage after Surgery
While breast massage may be very helpful, you really need to discuss this with your surgeon since only he or she knows exactly what was done during surgery. You just had a secondary surgery, so it is not as straightforward as a primary breast augmentation. So you are correct to be cautious. Also, you are still a recent post-op, so as the tissues settle and the swelling resolves, you should see positive improvements.
Good Luck.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
Massage after breast augmentation
As far as how to massage, I recommend displacing the implant in all four directions (up, down, left and right). Example, pinch the breast on the top to displace the implant downwards. For the lymphatic massage, it is much more of a light gentle touch. We often recommend a massage therapist to help with this or we show patients how to do this at home. You can repeat this several times a day for the first several months.
Adjusting breast implant position after surgery
All breast implants settle over time. To help high riding implants settle more quickly you are better off wearing a bandeau bra then with simple massage alone. Discuss this with your surgeon: if extra effort was made in surgery to support the inframammary fold he or she may not want you to push the implants down.

text: I'm looking for a photo of an Eldorado Trike that was fabricated and driven in the Athens Georgia area. I personally have seen and inspected this trike. It was a complete car minus the cabin. In other words, the trunk section was grafted to the front end at the removed windshield. A member came out of the grill and was fitted with a motorcycle seat, front wheel, handle bars and controls connected to the throttle, brakes and gear shift of the Eldorado. It was a very weird thing to meet or pass with a person sitting in front of the car grill. My understanding of the history of this trike is that the builder/owner took the trike in to a mechanic for maintenance. The mechanic took the trike out for a test drive and wrecked it. The trike was totaled. The owner was so distraught that he shot the mechanic grave yard dead. I remember him being sentenced to jail. (I would have let him go) If anyone has a photo of this Eldorado Trike, I would like to get a copy. Thanks Bob Foster

Ten week old kitten who eyes will not open.
My dad kitten is ten weeks old. Other wise a healthy kitten. No crud in or around his eyes. However his eyes will not open. They look like that of a new born kitten that is how tightly close they still look. What can my dad do to help him open his eyes.
Thank you to all that try to answer this question.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
You need to really look at the kitten's eyes and around them. DO NOT try to force the lids open with your fingers. (And it goes without saying that you must wash your hands thoroughly before handling the kitten's face.) Do you notice any puffiness in or around the eyelids? Does it look like the eyeballs are puffy under the lids? Chances are this kitten was born with an eye infection. After 10 weeks with no treatment, it may be too late to save the kitten's eyesight. When he was 2 weeks old and his eyes still were not open, it was time then to take the kitten to the vet. You dad can try to soak a cotton ball in warm water and gently wipe the kitten's eyelids, but that's a treatment usually reserved for much younger kittens. At 10 weeks of age, this guy really needs to see a vet. If he hasn't been to the vet at all yet, he needs to go for the eye issues, a check up and his vaccinations. Good luck and keep us posted about what the vet tells you.
Izadore (Izzie) answered on 4/5/09. Helpful? / 1
I agree with Izzie. Your kitten needs to see a vet, possibly a cat specialist. He might have something wrong with his eyesight, and the sooner it is diagnosed, the better it usually is treatment-wise.
Gracie answered on 4/5/09. Helpful? / 0
Poor kitty :( He should've been taken to the vet when his eyes still weren't open at 2 weeks of age. The usual time it takes for a kitten to open its eyes is 7-10 days. You may be too late to save his eyesight. Take him to the vet ASAP!

My name is James Lee Davies, I am 29 years of age and live in Llanelli, Wales.
At the age of 23 I had a seizure immediately after a 10K run. Following medical attention at my local hospital, an MRI scan revealed I had a brain tumour.
Initially surgeons would not perform surgery in Wales due to the dangers imposed and location of the tumour. Through obtaining a second opinion at University College Hospital in London, I had the brain tumour removed in 2006.
This had extreme effects on my body as I gained three stone and lost a lot of confidence in myself. During this difficult period, I set myself a goal and that was to get fit and be positive in life. I wanted to complete a marathon.
In 2008 I achieved my goal and completed my first marathon which was the New York City Marathon. This was a fantastic experience due to the trauma I had sustained and the fact that I was completing my goal at one of the biggest marathons in the world.
Due to my health issues and experience I raised money for the Brain and Spine Foundation, which was a charity close to my heart due to my experience.
Since 2008 I have completed five marathons - New York, Las Vegas, London (twice) and Dublin. I have raised a large sum of money for the charity in this two-year period.
A week after the 2010 Dublin Marathon I had further surgery because the brain tumour had reoccured. This time I also had radiotherapy treatment.
Because of all this, my 56-year-old father ran the 2011 London Marathon on my behalf for the same charity - he also raised a large sum of money.
During my recent treatment and recovery I have been planning to complete at least another five marathons and raise money. It keeps my body and mind occupied.
I am now back training and looking forward to a hot summer to prepare for my next lifetime experience.
"It's the things we overcome and achieve that makes us great"
Every marathon is a lifetime experience and to raise money for a charity gives me a great sense of achievement.
My advice and tips for fundraising
Make sure you ask all family members if they will sponsor you for your event, this itself will get the fundraising underway.
Also give family members sponsorship forms as they can also raise money on your behalf.
Ask work colleagues to sponsor you and also arrange events within your workplace, such as a bike ride or golf day to raise funds for the charity.
Charity night
I held a charity night within the town which Welsh football legend John Hartson attended.
During this night, raffle and auction items raised a large sum of money.
Local businesses were approached and some donated to the evening.
Setting up an online account for people to sponsor you is a good method, as you can describe and explain why you are raising money. Facebook is also a good website to share your goals to raise funds.
Local press
Highlight your achievement in the local paper, this will again develop interest into people sponsoring you.
Marathon events are well organised and each event is a fantastic personal experience.
Best wishes to you all!

Day 1 at the Desmond Haynes Oval, Black Rock, Barbados, 07 March 2013
End of day: Zimbabwe 222/5.
Zimbabwe opener Hamilton Masakadza is having the perfect dress rehearsal for the first Test of the International Home Series 2013 against the West Indies.
He was 109 not out at stumps, on the first day of the three-day warm-up match against the Sagicor High Performance Centre (HPC) – which is the West Indies academy side.
As he has done in four of the six matches that Zimbabwe has played in the West Indies so far, Brendan Taylor won the toss. As he has been doing lately, he opted to bat.
The first wicket to fall was that of Vusimuzi Sibanda, caught by Keddy Lesporis off the bowling of Kemar Roach. He had made 13 runs and his exit left Zimbabwe 23 for one. Masakadza and Tinotenda Mawoyo then made a 61-run stand for the second wicket, before the latter was trapped leg-before-wicket by Sheldon Cotterrell. He had made just 14 runs but his occupation of 140 minutes showed his potential for the yardstick format of the game.
Masakadza stayed on as he continued to lose partners – Brendan Taylor (20) out lbw to Jomel Warrican and Sean Williams (7) caught by Jason Dawes off Yannic Cariah, until he reached his century which came off 223 balls, 12th of them fours and two sixes.
For HPC, Warrican took two wickets for 48 runs in 19 overs, while Roach and Cotterrell picked up one each.
The Zimbabwe innings will resume Friday with Masakadza (109*) and Malcolm Waller (45*) at the crease.
The first Test between the West Indies and Zimbabwe starts on Tuesday, at the Kensington Oval.

Thinking about getting an 05 XLR
The XLR is a beautiful car. Every time I see it, I wanna buy it...and now I'm really looking for one. I found an '05 Base model in our local Cadillac dealer here in Dallas for around 22k. It has 96,346 miles on it, carfax doesn't state any type of repair of any kind with only 1 owner driving a little bit over 13k miles a year. It's been getting a bit hard to find any XLRs around here and the 22k price tag is around my range. I was at the dealer today and spoke to the salesperson and he said that the car was still being prepped for the lot and pictures, so he took me to the back and showed me what they were doing. I got to speak to the tech working on the car and he said that he was replacing the radiator, headlights, and doing touch up work to it. Now here is the question, for the price, lack of issues and the mileage on the car, is it worth the buy? What are the thoughts on the N* over the 100k mark? A quick response would be highly appreciated as I'm looking to test drive the car on Monday.
Thank you
Re: Thinking about getting an 05 XLR
You cannot get a "feel" for the reliability of this car until you see a GM Service History. CarFAX cannot display this, and is of little use. If they're replacing the "usual" bad components of the 04-05 years, that's a good thing. The XLR got the last (and best) incarnation of the Northstar engine. Don't let the $22k price sway you; when you take the car in for service, it's a $75k car again. If $22k is tight for you, this might not be the right car. Should the vehicle be unreliable, you'll quickly go broke trying to keep it running. Verify the service history, and test drive it like you stole it. If you have ANY reservations, wait for the next one. There are plenty more with less milage for the same price out there. (Autotrader will bear this out when doing a nation-wide search.) Read all the posts here to get edumacated and you'll enjoy the car even more when you find the right one.
My local GM dealer printed my car history...some program called workbench. I believe it will list all warranty work, the date the work was done and the mileage when that work was done. My 06 had three pages of strange control assembly, floor shift to electronic suspension rear position sensor replacement. I am sure that I would be in the poor house had I paid for all of that!
I guess cosmetic condition can count for a lot...perhaps the known issues are addressed. The one good thing a dealer has to do is ensure the car is safe...meaning brakes, tires, suspension issues are addressed.
I did not buy that 04 in Florida, but waited. That ended up working for me, but I also understand the comparative rarity of the car. Wish the answer was easy

Re: Thinking about getting an 05 XLR
rvgrand, are you keeping the STS or trading it in? You said the dealer is touching up the car - not sure if that means paintwork but check the roof for any small circular chips - could indicate an issue with the convertible top. You could also look into an aftermarket warranty - I have no experience with one but my Cadillac dealership recommends a certain company. Maybe Sewell or a local Cadillac dealer can recommend an aftermarket warranty.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
That axiom is certainly true in a literal sense, but the meaning behind it is more pronounced when put into a business context.
We're talking about your elevator speech (also often called an elevator pitch).
A well-crafted elevator speech can be many things: a simple introduction, a compelling story, a persuasive monologue, a quick teaser or a commercial about you. Then there are the different types—depending on whether you're talking about your company or yourself, and what you want to accomplish with your elevator speech.
No matter what your aim is, an effective elevator speech takes time to formulate. And even after you have a sense of what you want to say, there's the matter of tailoring it to your audience and getting better at your presentation.
Here, we'll run through seven things you should consider when you're creating your elevator speech.
1. The basics
As you begin to hone your elevator speech, start with the basics.
One rule of thumb is to keep it short, usually about a minute. It's called an elevator speech for a reason—you should be able complete it in the time it takes to ride from one floor to another.
At its core, an elevator speech should be a high-level introduction, a way for you to present yourself (or your product or idea) in a bite-sized manner. You want to be conversational, refrain from jargon, buzzwords or smaller details, and hopefully start a conversation.
Think about your objective and tweak your message to meet your audience's needs. Hit on the major themes you want to convey in a simple, straightforward fashion.
It's a bit of a delicate balance, but in the end, you want your elevator speech to be persuasive without being pushy.
John Torrens, an assistant professor at Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management, has the following advice, via Business News Daily:
"You want to stand out and generate excitement. Don't regurgitate a memorized pitch that sounds like a pharmaceutical ad. When I hear a pitch, I don't necessarily want to feel like I am being pitched. I would rather have it be more conversational. Start with the problem you are trying to solve, the way the current alternatives are lacking; then, briefly describe your solution."
2. Who are you?
Before you begin creating your elevator speech, think about who you are and how it affects the main point of your pitch. A recent college grad's elevator speech will be much different from business pro with a decade of experience. Keep this in mind as you prepare.
Another tip for your elevator speech is to be your authentic self. Show some personality, be honest about your purpose and demonstrate that you know what you're talking about.
If it goes well, you'll need to be able to answer follow-up questions and start a real conversation. By being upfront and honest about who you are and what you can do, you'll be able to more easily transition into a discussion that benefits you and your audience.
3. What's the point?
Now that you have an idea of what perspective you're elevator speech is coming from, you can move on to important stuff: What's the point?
Generally speaking, your pitch should include a few key elements—an introduction, accomplishments and goals, and a hook.
You want to position yourself as a person who can solve a decision-maker's problem, according to a post on INC. Try to address potential pain points, offer solutions and get them interested in you.
For a new graduate, that could mean showing you can fill a role within a company. If you're a company's representative at a conference, it could mean demonstrating how your tactics meet a specific need.
An elevator speech is often situational, and you'll need to know your audience and illustrate your (or your company's) worth. Give examples or scenarios. Mention past successes. Address potential issues.
Ultimately, an elevator speech should be able to answer this question: "What can you do for me?"
4. It's not a sales pitch
This is what separates an average pitch from a great one.
An elevator speech is not about closing the deal; it's about getting your foot in the door and leaving your audience with a call to action.
Sure, you'll want to talk about yourself or your business and discuss what you can offer. But it's not an overt sales pitch.
Instead, a strong elevator speech is more about solving a hypothetical problem. Talk about how others have benefitted from you or your methods—be specific and think about how you could benefit this person.
You want the listener to continue listening.
Which brings us to our next point…
5. Tell a story
When we talked about mentioning your value and accomplishments, we didn't mean a regurgitation of your resume.
Your elevator speech should be a mini story that outlines who you are and what you can do.
"The story is the meaning factor and gets the listener to ask, 'Tell me more,'" Chris Westfall, who actually won an elevator pitch competition in 2011, told U.S. News and World Report.
Try to draw in your audience. Connect. It's easier said than done, but by crafting a small story within your elevator speech, you'll have a better chance of getting people excited about what you bring to the table.
That can often mean leaving them with a bit of a cliffhanger, according to a post on Entrepreneur:
"The secret sauce should be saved for later. All you're required to do is be able to confidently broadcast that you know exactly what you're doing."
Saving your secrets can entice your audience and help further the dialogue.
6. A commercial about you
We've now reached the crux of an effective elevator speech.
In many respects, it's a "commercial" about you.
Whether your focus is on your company or yourself, you want to get your message across clearly and in a compelling way. And do it in a hurry—people have short attention spans and the quality of your opening line cannot be overstated.
Consider the commercials that make you laugh or cry or think—what traits do they share? Incorporate those elements in your pitch. You want to differentiate yourself and get the listener interested in your "product."
Scan back to some of the earlier points we discussed and keep these in mind as you craft your commercial.
Be creative. Be succinct. Give them that wow factor.
7. Practice
Once you have a sense of what you want your elevator speech to look like, it's time to practice. (And continue your revisions along the way.)
Get feedback from others; see which alternatives are most persuasive; have multiple versions ready for different situations.
Even if you're happy with the actual content of your pitch, there are other factors to consider. Remember: It's not what you say but how you say it.
A few things to focus on:
- Confidence
- Body language
- Tone of voice
- Eye contact
- Gestures
- Appearance
Pitch yourself in the mirror or take a video of yourself. Make changes and get better. Practice makes perfect!
Hopefully, we've given you some direction for an effective elevator speech. Not every encounter will go as you hope. Be OK with a "no."
For that yes, however, one last note: Always have a business card handy.

The person I bought it from had alot of add ons including up pipe, complete exhaust, top mount intercooler, intake, and blow off valve. He said that the ecu was tuned for a larger turbo. It seems to be running very rich becuase when I pulled the plugs they were trenched with gas. I was wondering what would be the best way address the fuel pressure? Adjustable fuel pressure regulator? Or does it need to be tuned? Any ideas would be much appericated.

One of the more controversial parts of Kara Walker's new exhibit at the old Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn has been all the mindless selfies that people have taken in front of the giant sphinx centerpiece. Now there's a website called sugarselfie.us that pokes fun at the phenomenon by allowing users who can't make it to the exhibit in person the ability to take their own offensive virtual selfies.
Let's see how many actually get the joke.

The Hudson Valley Community College men's basketball team (20-12) lost to SUNY Delhi (28-4) 69-48 in the semifinals of the regional tournament on Saturday afternoon.
Hudson Valley fell behind early and could never make up the difference. The Broncos shot the ball well from the outside, while the Vikings struggled shooting the ball. Jose Reyes (Shenendehowa/Clifton Park) led the Vikings with 17 points, and Brandon Dean (Flagler Palm Coast/Bunnell, FL) added 14 in the loss. Dean was also named to the All-Tournament after averaging 18.0 points in the two games.
Delhi will play Herkimer tomorrow in the Championship game.

Representative Cao Stunned to Find Himself at His Own Fundraiser with Newt Gingrich?
Representative Joseph "Anh" Cao must have been shaking in his shoes when he found out his "meeting" with conservative icon Newt Gingrich was really a $1,000 per plate fundraiser yesterday.
But was it really surprise, or just the latest episode in Representative Cao's efforts to mislead his constituents?
"Representative Cao works hard to burnish his right-wing credentials with Washington insiders and hide it from his constituents," said Jessica Santillo, Southern Regional Press Secretary for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "First he said he'd vote for economic recovery, then he towed the party line and opposed it. Next, he claimed he was a 'closet Democrat,' and then turned around and raised money with Newt Gingrich."
Will Representative Cao continue to mislead his constituents about his values and votes?
- Representative Cao said he is likely to vote for the economic recovery package. [Times-Picayune, 2/12/09]
- Then, Representative Cao votes against the economic recovery package. [Roll Call Vote, 2/13/2009]
- Representative Cao says "I might be a closet Democrat." [The Huffington Post, 3/4/09]
- Then, Representative Cao holds a fundraiser with Newt Gingrich, but denies knowing about it. "Cao...said that while he knew he was going to be seeing Gingrich later in the day, he did not realize it was a fundraiser. 'It is for him or for me?' Cao asked." [Times-Picayune, 3/16/09]

As a bunch of grown-ups gath- ered Friday around the flagpole at Van Zandt VA Medical Center, the boy quietly ran in circles near those reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. By the time his father, the cen- ter chaplain, was leading the group hi prayer, a quiet Isiah sat on a nearby bench. He swung his legs back and forth above the con- crete sidewalk while watching the wind move the grass before him. James Boulware doesn't burden his young son with information about the event that's transform- ing the world he will inherit.-. Besides, Isiah is content with studying the bark on a nearby tree while the group sings "God Bless America." The approach is different with Boulwarc's older children. They have questions, as do other chil- dren aware of a world beyond their own. There's a fine line between addressing an adult's demands for information and simply easing the fears of children in times of such uncertainty, experts say. "It's OK for kids to be watching television as long as it's that bit of information that gives you some said Brenda Michielson-Lochner, an Altoona elementary school counselor. "You want them to be informed developmentally. You want them to be informed at a level they can handle." That level will depend on the age of the child. Younger children have a need to know they will be safe, while older students have specific questions related to the tragedy.

Bush: U.S. should brace for sacrifice BY RON FOURNIER The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Bush ordered U.S. troops to get ready for war and braced Americans for a long, diffi- cult assault against terrorists to avenge the deadliest attack on the nation. "Those who make war against the United States have cho- sen their own he declared Saturday. "We will smoke them out of their Bush said. "We'll get them running and we'll bring them to justice." But first the nation had to mourn its dead. "This is indeed a sad occasion, one to be repealed thousands of times by our fellow citi- zens across the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said at the memorial service for Barbara Olson, wife of U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson. She was among the 64 passengers and crew members on American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon. Rescue workers searched with diminishing hopes in the rubble of the World Trade Center in New York and the crash-scarred Pentagon for any survivors. Four days after hijackers seized commercial airliners and slammed them into the symbols of American military and economic might, Bush said prime suspect Osama bin Laden's days are numbered. "If he thinks he can hide and run from the United States and our allies, he will be sorely mistaken." "This act will not he said. The vow recalled the words of his father, for- mer President Bush who put Iraq on notice in 1990 that the United States would not tolerate the invasion of Kuwait. Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condqleezza Rice who played key roles in the Persian Gulf War huddled with Bush under extraordinary security Saturday at Camp David in western Maryland. "We're at the commander in chief said. "Everybody who wears the uniform: Get Bush instructed.

The suicide note and other clues found in that bag led investigators to Hamburg, Germany; Venice, Fla.; Canada; and 'Portland, Maine. As federal trackers and journalists follow Atta's footsteps, a picture emerges of a taci- turn, polite man who could turn arrogant and querulous. He moved freely about the United States and across international borders using his real name, despite that name's presence on a State Department list of suspected terrorists. Please see A7 Economic leaders prep for life after Westvaco BY WALT FIIANK Staff Writer TYRONE Efforts continue to set up a meeting with Westvaco Corp. officials to discuss the future of the Tyrone paper mill. Altoona Blair County Develop- ment Corp., which is spearhead- ing a task force to gather informa- tion about the future of the facil- ity, has sent two letters to John A. Luke Jr., Westvaco chairman and chief executive officer, and James A. Blizzard, executive vice presi- dent, requesting a meeting with them to discuss strategy on how to move forward and provide jobs for workers who are losing their jobs at the Tyrone facility, said Martin Marasco, ABCD Corp. executive director. Marasco said he received a tele- phone message from Buzzard Thursday, but the two have been playing "phone tag" and have not set up a time to meet. The local task force is comprised of ABCD Corp., members of the Governor's Action Team, the bor- ough of Tyrone and representa- tives from the offices of U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District; state Senate President Pro Tern Robert C. Jubelirer, R-Blair; and state Rep. Larry O. Sather, R-Hunting- don. "The goal of the task force is to establish what the parameters will be as far as the Mayor Pat Stoner said. "We need, in a timely manner, to search for new industry to take care of the employees who are los- ing their jobs. My main goal is to find something for them." The Stamford, Conn.-based cor- poration announced Aug. 31 that it would close the mill which has operated in Tyrone since lifflO and moved production to more mod- ern manufacturing operations and eliminate 265 jobs, including 198 hourly and 67 salaried work- ers.

Emmanuel Adebayor is likely to miss Tottenham's Europa League tie against Panathinaikos tomorrow but is targeting a return to Andre Villas-Boas's squad for Sunday's match with Aston Villa.
The forward was back in training with the first-team squad yesterday following a hamstring injury but the coaching staff are thought to consider it too soon to bring him back into action.
Adebayor completed a permanent move to White Hart Lane in August after a successful loan spell at the club last season but he has played for only 60 minutes for the first team since signing from Manchester City in a £5million deal.
At the start of the campaign, Jermain Defoe was preferred to Adebayor — who was still building match fitness — as Villas-Boas's lone forward, before the former Arsenal striker's injury kept him out of the next five fixtures.
With a two-week international break to follow the Villa game, Villas-Boas is likely to retain a strong starting XI for the Group J encounter.
The Portuguese admits his team have been galvanised by their 3-2 win at Manchester United last weekend, which extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to seven matches, and remains focused on securing a top-four finish for the club.
"It was an important win for us, for the impact it has and because of the team we beat, but there is a still a long way to go," said Villas-Boas. "We have to continue to make progress and ensure we get Champions League qualification. Old Trafford was something special for the club."
Both Kyle Naughton and Jake Livermore are making progress in their recoveries from foot and hernia problems respectively but neither is thought to be fit enough to make the trip to the Greece.
