Striker Ross McCormack vowed to ease Leeds United fans' heartbreak after FA Cup exit to Rochdale was followed by a 6-0 battering by Sheffield Wednesday in a Yorkshire derby.
Next up for Leeds tomorrow is the visit of Championship leaders Leicester City and that challenge, insisted the Scottish international, would provide plenty of incentive for the hosts.
Said McCormack after a week of soul-searching among the Whites' ranks: "We've been working hard on the training ground and we've been looking at videos of where it went wrong.
"If we cut the errors out the scoreline isn't 6-0, but that's ifs and buts. We're all professionals and we're paid good money to put on a better show than that."
Of the visit of the rampant Foxes, the top scorer added: "We tend to do well against the teams we're not supposed to. Last year Leicester and Palace came at a difficult time and we beat them both in the same week. We can beat Leicester, no doubt about it."

There are some phenomenal games for (K)Ubuntu Linux.
There are hundreds of free, open-source games available in (K)Ubuntu. Most (including the KDE Games collection and the Gnome Games collection) can be accessed through the Games section of your Package Manager.
Examples are:
- KMahjongg -- the solitaire Mahjongg tile-matching game.
- PouetChess -- an excellent 3-D chess game.
- PokerTH -- a very nice Texas Hold 'Em Poker
- Planet Penguin Racer -- Penguin slides down a 3-D luge run, catching fish. (Extreme Tux Racer is a newer version, but works in 32-bit only.)
- KsirK -- play Risk against the computer or in a multiplayer environment.
- TORCS -- the 3-D Car Racing game
- Pingus -- a Lemmings clone (similar to Super Mario Bros.) that uses penguins instead of lemmings.
- Frozen Bubble -- the award-winning, addicting, time-wasting, bubble-popping game.
- Frets on Fire -- similar to Guitar Hero. You can import songs from Guitar Hero and from community sites.
Vdrift is a free open source 3-D racing game, similar to Need for Speed, with realistic physics, multiple drift tracks, and multiplayer games. Support for joysticks, mice and keyboard is included. A binary package for Linux is available from the website.
Incredible action games (including those from the Top 25) are available in Ubuntu. Many can be installed using:
- Applications -> Add/Remove Software -> Games
Examples are:
- Alien Arena -- a multi-player first person shooter action game with free servers. The repositories have version 7.0-1. For the current version 7.2 see the website.
- OpenArena -- an open-source multi-player first person shooter action game, with free servers. The repositories have version 7.7. For the current 8.1 version see the website.
- Tremulous -- a Halo-like multiplayer first person shooter action game. The repositories have the current version.
- Sauerbraten - a multiplayer graphics-rich first person shooter game evolved from Cube.
- Nexuiz is an open-source multi-player first person shooter game with free servers and tournaments.
The current version 2.4.2 is in the repositories.
sudo apt-get install nexuiz nexuiz-music
You must have desktop effects turned off (System -> System Settings -> Desktop). There are a few other problems. See the Nexuiz forums. Some recommend running from a shell:
sudo ./nexuiz-linux-glx.sh
sudo ./nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh
- A 35 map community pack is available here. To install, extract the map pack to /home/username/.nexuiz/data (or ~/.nexuiz/data ).
UrbanTerror is a multiplayer first person shooter action game. It uses the open-source quake 3 engine and features many real weapons and free-to-use servers for multi-player functionality. See the Installation instructions at the website.
- Alternative installation with a script:
- After downloading the script open Terminal into your download directory then make the script executable with the following command:
sudo chmod +x urt40-linux-installer.sh
- Now double click on the script to execute and follow the directions
- The install will take a while, as the script executes a download of the necessary files which are about 541MB
- After the install you will have a nice UrbanTerror icon on your desktop (unless you installed as root)
The Spring Project is a scripting engine platform to develop and play free multiplayer games such as Star Wars Imperial Winter and Complete Annihilation. See these installation instructions for adding the repository, then installing as a package.
PlaneShift is a promising free full-immersion online fantasy game (MMPORG). Client downloads and patches are available here.
- Make the downloaded binary installation file executable:
cd /directory_where_downloaded chmod +x PlaneShift-v.0.42-x64.bin
- Run the executable binary as root (this must be done from the command line Terminal):
sudo ./PlaneShift-v.0.42-x64.bin
- Follow the instructions for installation. When prompted whether to manually set permissions, answer "no."
- During installation, most users have recommended installing this game to your /home directory as a single user installation, instead of to /opt for all users. This avoids permissions problems. I was able to install to /opt, but it takes some effort.
- Make sure your user belongs to the games group:
- System -> User Manager -> user -> Groups -> check games
- Download the updater patch psupdaterlinux64.zip and unzip it to your download directory.
- Run the updater as root:
chmod +x psupdater chmod +x psupdater.bin sudo ./psupdater
- Register for a free account at PlaneShift Registration.
- If you installed the game to the menu, it will be in
- Applications -> Lost & Found -> Client and Setup
To run it from the menu, I had to edit the menu entries by checking the box: "Run in terminal." Alternatively, run it from the command-line Terminal:
sudo /opt/PlaneShift/pssetup sudo /opt/PlaneShift/psclient
Notes: This game ran very slowly for me on a 32-bit installation with a DSL connection and I gave up. The 64-bit installation worked better, but there were still many freezes. This is a game very much in development, and is still in alpha stage.
Skulltag is an updated version of ZDoom that includes network play. See the website for simple (K)Ubuntu installation instructions. (You can use the Freedoom Iwad (see below) if you don't have an original Doom2.wad.) Note: Most of the modules require dependencies from the Universe repositories. Make sure you have the Universe repositories enabled (Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories -> Edit Software Sources -> Community-maintained Open Source software (universe) -> (ticked)).
- Install prerequisites:
sudo apt-get install timidity timidity-interfaces-extra
- Then add the skulltag repositories, update, and install Skulltag and DoomSeeker (the Skulltag online server utility):
echo "deb http://skulltag.net/download/files/release/deb/ jaunty multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skulltag.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install skulltag doomseeker-skulltag
- If you don't have a doom2.wad, tnt.wad, or plutonia.wad already, you can copy the freedoom.wad to your ~/.skulltag folder:
cd ~/.skulltag wget http://mirror.cinquix.com/pub/savannah/freedoom/freedoom-iwad/freedoom-iwad-0.6.4.zip unzip freedoom-iwad-0.6.4.zip cp freedoom*/doom2.wad . rm freedoom-iwad-0.6.4.zip
- If you need more help (regarding the Skulltag-server, firewalls, and port forwarding with Skulltag, for example), see my additional tips.
PrBoom is a free open source port of the original first person shooter action game, Doom.
sudo apt-get install prboom freedoom timidity timidity-interfaces-extra
There are thousands of extra maps (Wads) available for this game. It is easiest to keep a directory for your wads in your home directory:
mkdir /home/user/wads
- or alternatively, use the /usr/share/games/doom folder, giving universal privileges to the folder:
chmod -R 777 /usr/share/games/doom
Place your doom2.wad, tnt.wad, or plutonia.wad (from your original game) into this folder. If you don't have one, you can copy the Freedom version of doom2.wad from /usr/share/games/freedoom into this folder. Place any new .wad's you have downloaded from the Internet into this folder as well. Then run the game using both the original iwad map as well as your new .wad map (you will only see the new map).
prboom -iwad /home/user/wads/doom2.wad -file /home/user/wads/new_wad.wad
Note: Only doom2.wad, tnt.wad, or plutonia.wad can be used as an iwad. You must have one of these in addition to any new wad you wish to use. When in doubt, use doom2.wad.
- Note: this game can also be installed using Applications -> Add/Remove Software -> Games as Freedoom, but you must also install timidity and timidity-interfaces-extra.
Wing Commander Privateer
The Linux version of this free version of Wing Commander can be downloaded as a binary here.

From: "Susan Reynolds" <>
Subject: [WOOD-L] Cherokee Rolls
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2001 19:08:46 -0600
I have purchased a copy of the book CHEROKEE ROOTS, VOLUME 1: EASTERN
CHEROKEE ROLLS, official United States Goveernment Census of the Cherokee
Indian from 1817 through 1924 residing East of the Mississippi River.
I can do look ups on these rolls to see if your people are listed there.
There is no other information given in this book beyond what is listed
below. The majority of those listed were from North Carolina, South
Carolina, Gerogia, Alabama, Tennesee, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia.
Reservation Rolls 1817: this listing shows those Cherokee who wished to be
permitted to remain in the East and receive a 640 acre tract of land. The
land grant was only for the duration of the allottee's life or upon
abandonment of the property, whichever came first. Property was not passed
down through the family. Includes only first and last names or Indian names
and status as reservee.
Emigration Rolls 1817-1835: This listing is comprised of those Cherokee who
desired to go West to Arkansas Territory (Indian Territory in present day
Oklahoma after 1828). This group became known as the Old Settlers after the
Trail of Tears (1838). Includes only first and last name or Indian names
and status.
Henderson Roll 1835: This census listing is comprised of more than 16,000
Cherokee who resided in the states of Alabama, Gerogia, Tennessee, and North
Carolina who were to be removed from their land and moved to IT by terms of
the treaty of New Echota in 1835. Includes only first and last names or
Indian names and state they were from.
Mullay Roll - 1848: This census was comprised of the Cherokee who remained
in North Carolina after the removal in 1838, consists of 1,517 people.
Includes first and last names or Indian names and roll number.
Siler Roll - 1851: This listing shows those Eastern Cherokee who Congress
determined, in 1850, were entitled to a per capita payment. Includes first
and last names or Indian names and roll number.
Chapman Roll - 1852: Census of the Eastern Cherokee who appeared on the
Siler Roll that actually received payment. Includes only first and last
names or Indian names and roll number.
Swetland Roll - 1869: This census shows those Eastern Chrokee, and their
descendants, who were shown on the Mullay Roll as remaining in NC.
Includes only first and last names and Indian names and roll number.
Hester Roll - 1883: Census of Eastern Cherokee in 1883. This census
included lots of good information such as: Indian and English names,
ancestors, Chapman Roll number, age. I can tell you if they are on this
roll and what their number is, but I do not have any other information. You
will have to request copies from other sources.
Churchill Roll - 1908: This roll certified membership in the Eastern Band
of Cherokee. It also included a lot of good information including deegree
of blood and those rejected. Again, I can only provide the names and
numbers, no other information.
Guillon Miller Roll - 1909: A uit was filed by the Eastern Cherokee to
address myriad violations of treaties. The suit was awarded to the Cherokee
with the determination that reparations were to be paid them. This roll
documents 48,874 applications - over 90,000 individuals. There are 3,436
Cherokee residing in the East listed on this roll (there are more that
resided west of the Mississippi, but I do not have that at this time) who
were certified as eligible participants in this award. Participation was
limited to those alive on 28 May 1908 who could prove themselves as a member
of the Eastern Cherokee, or a descendant thereof, at the time of the ttreaty
violations. The actual applications are still available and contain a
wealth of information. I can only give you names and roll numbers.
Baker Roll - 1924: The Baker Roll was to be the final roll of the Eastern
Cherokee, determining who was to receive land allottments and become regular
citizens. It was was to "terminate" the Eastern Cherokee Nation. As it
turned out, this roll was not as final as Dawes, and did not end in terminat
ion procedures. Today, the revised Baker Roll is the current membership of
the Eastern Cherokee Nation. Includes first and last name, Baker, Churchill
and Hester roll numbers.
Just be patient with me. It may take a day or so to answer. Susan.

Biobar - Tool for Mozilla-Based Web Browsers
(This is a copy of an email sent to the Biotech faculty at UIUC. If you didn't get it, and want me to add you to my list, let me know! KC)
Biotech / Molecular biology researchers at UIUC --
Recently I came upon this useful "extension" to Mozilla-based browsers that you can install on your computer if you're using FireFox or Netscape 7+. It may ease your searching of PubMed or many of the bioinformatics databases such as NCBI's Genbank or Homologene, the EMBL databases, or the DDBJ databases. Once you install it, you'll see a new toolbar appear in your browser window.
Here's the blurb from the site:
Biobar - A toolbar for browsing biological data and databases.
The biobar project is a bioinformatics power-browsing toolbar for Mozilla-based browsers including Firefox and Netscape 7+. This toolbar provides access to all major biological data resources. The primary advantage of this tool is that it allows a biologist to browse and retrieve data from Genomic, Proteomic, Functional, Literature, Taxonomic, Structural, Plant and Animal-specific databases. In addition to the browsing features, biobar also provides links to important bioinformatics sites and services including services at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ). The tool also provides links to major data deposition sites for nucleotide, protein and 3D-structure data. Finally, the menu also contains links to many Sequence, Structure alignment and analysis tools. Here is a list of the databases accessible from Biobar:
Read more and download this handy toolbar, Biobar, from:
The developer of Biobar is Jawahar Swaminathan, a curator of the EBI Macromolecular Structure Database.
If you install Biobar, you'll want to customize it so you're seeing the UIUC version of Pubmed -- that is, the version that shows which subscriptions we have access to. To do this, click on the first dropdown menu on the Biobar, choose "options", then click on NCBI. Set your "library linkout abbreviation" to: uiuclib.
If you're accessing Pubmed from off-campus, you'll still want to use the Library's URL for PubMed, so that the e-journal articles are proxied, recognizing you as a UIUC researcher! The pre-proxied URL for PubMed is: http://www.library.uiuc.edu/orr/get.php?instid=258171
Biobar is merely passing your search queries to the native interface for the various databases. So use the same search syntax as you would if you were searching the native search engines!
Questions? Send me an email and I'll try to help!

How can public–private partnerships contribute to security and human rights policy and practice in the extractive industries? A case study of The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
Across sub-Saharan Africa, the presence of foreign large-scale mining companies is increasing. This is in part a result of depleting resources in countries such as Canada, United States and Australia, and in part from a more favorable national mine investment climate in several mineral-rich African countries. Their increased presence raises important questions around the potential role and function of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the sector. In post-conflict and/or fragile states, CSR has further implications for conflict and risk mitigation strategies to ensure the protection of human rights. One CSR approach increasingly being considered is the public–private partnership, whereby companies, public donors, and development agencies leverage their relationships for mutual benefit. There is merit in exploring its function in post-conflict fragile states, where socio-economic needs are high and the capacity of the state to respond to a variety of mine governance challenges is limited. Two case studies from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are presented, and their policy implications, discussed.

e30 Project
Im looking to get my cousins 318 convertible, as a funcar/project car. The only problem is its got what amounts to 3000+ in repairs.
If any of you guys know e30's help me put these crazy prices into perspective. I feel confident that i can do most of the repairs, but maybe not without help.
-The car needs a new clutch, parts + labor was quoted at $1850, and this includes the flywheel surface. This was the diagnosis for that 'squealing' noise I mentioned that the car makes when the clutch pedal is depressed.
-The Idling problem I mentioned they said is due to it needing new Air Hoses. The hoses they said are cracked and it's not regulating the air flow properly. Parts & Laborwas estimated at $320.
-They also told me that the rear brakes need some work due to wear, parts & labor estimated at $443.
-Then there's the converty top- I took it to a place that only does tops, and they gave me an estimate parts & labor of about another $1600.
Found air boot from air flow meter to throttle body was cracked. This provides umetered air to the engine. That can cause engine to die. The air hoses to the pcv and the icv are also cracked. Reccomend replace all the air hoses."
"The clutch throw out bearing is making the screeching noise. Reccomend to replace the clutch."
These repairs cant really be that hard with a bentley manual and a good set of tools right?
Thanks for any help you can give me guys,
Hemingway said it best. There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.

Canadian Cartel: Merino Men's & Women's Layering Systems 50%+ Off
Canadian Cartel has their Merino layering systems for both men and women on sale at over 50% off the retail price. Sale ends on January 7th 2013.
There are some great items here for the indoors or outdoors. This Merino men's contact 1 L/S crew in charcoal was $80 and is now only $40 and these Merino mens contact 1 tight in black were also $80 and are now $40.
It's the same with the women's items like this Merino WMS contact 1 LS crew in Acai that was $90 and is now $40 or these Merino WMS contact 1 tights in Acai to match that were $80 and are now $37.
I think these Merino items are a great concept. They keep you very warm and comfortable, whether your sport is inside or outside and the material actually breathes and repels odor. No more smelly hockey bags, ew. You can even layer these under your work pants for those of you having to work outside in the cold winter. There are many different sizes and colours available, although I really don't see a difference in some of the women's items from the men's, except price of course.
Shipping: Free on orders over $75, or flat rate of $10.95.

In November, Americans voted to take the country in a much-needed new direction by electing Democrats to lead Congress. African Americans contributed a great deal to this victory for the American people. As a new era dawns in Washington, Senate Democrats renew our commitment to work with the African American community to advance a common-sense agenda that addresses the issues that matter most to them, and all Americans. The first ten Senate bills of the 110th Congress include legislation to raise the federal minimum wage, improve the Medicare prescription drug program, make college more affordable, fix America's immigration system, strengthen and rebuild the military, and act on the 9/11 Commission Recommendations. As we move forward, Senate Democrats will continue to fight, as we did in the 109th Congress, to fund and improve education programs, expand access to health care, strengthen the middle class, protect voting rights, safeguard civil liberties, ensure an independent judiciary, defend human rights at home and abroad, and end our open-ended commitment in Iraq. With the African American community at our side, we can, and will, take the country in a new direction.
Raise the Federal Minimum Wage. Last year, Democrats promised to seek better pay for working Americans, starting by raising the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage has not been increased since 1997. Since that time, the cost of living has increased and the purchasing power of the wage has eroded by over 20 percent. Today, a full-time federal minimum wage earner takes home only $10,712 per year, before taxes, which is almost $6,000 below the poverty line for a family of three.
On the first day of the 110th Congress, Democrats renewed our commitment to raise the minimum wage by introducing S.2, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. S.2 would increase the federal minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour in three steps over two years. This raise would significantly benefit (directly and indirectly) nearly 13 million workers, or 10 percent of the workforce. Of those who would benefit, 16 percent are African American, more than 60 percent are women, and 18 percent are Latino Americans. Moreover, the parents of nearly six million children will receive a raise, helping them to better care for their families. In the 110th Congress, Democrats look forward to working with Republicans to pass the Fair Minimum Wage Act and are dedicated to helping American workers realize the dream of economic stability.
Fully Fund Domestic Programs. Since President Bush took office, Republicans have drastically reduced funding for key domestic programs. Most recently, in its 2007 Budget Request, the Administration recommended eliminating or cutting funding for over 140 programs, including Even Start, Head Start, the Perkins Loan program, Medicare, Medicaid, Small Business Administration programs, and the Community Development Block Grant program. These programs, many of which assist those in the African American community, are already operating on barebones budgets due to previous cuts; additional cuts would be devastating. Given their negative impact on women, seniors, racial and ethnic minorities, and low income Americans, many, including respected religious leaders, have described these recommendations, and past cuts, as immoral and irresponsible. Americans depend on these programs for their health, education, safety, and economic stability. In the 109th Congress, Senate Democrats fought to protect and restore funding to these vital programs and looked forward to working with Republicans to adequately fund the federal government for 2007. Disappointingly, the Senate Republican leadership chose to punt this responsibility. Now, in the 110th Congress, under Democratic leadership, Congress will meet its responsibilities head-on and work to fully fund the domestic programs that are important to all Americans.
Expand Educational Opportunities. Senate Democrats recognize that a quality education is the first step on the road to achieving the American dream of advancement and economic prosperity. In the 109th Congress, Democrats worked to provide African Americans access to the best education possible, from elementary school to college. Democratic Senators supported legislation that would have restored funding to Even Start, Head Start, Title I, GEAR UP and TRIO (college prep programs), vocational and adult education programs, and after-school programs, each of which specifically addresses the needs of disadvantaged children, teenagers, and adults.
Democrats also unanimously opposed a Republican-passed budget reconciliation bill that cut $12 billion in funding to the federal student loan program, a program which serves students from all economic backgrounds, including those from middle class families. Though that battle was lost last year, Senate Democrats are committed to restoring funding to and improving education programs in the 110th Congress. As one of the first bills, Senate Democrats introduced S.7, the College Opportunity Act of 2007, which would make a college education more affordable by increasing Pell Grants and providing more favorable student loans and other benefits.
Improve Access to Health Care. In the 109th Congress, Democrats worked with civil rights groups and the health care community to promote legislation that restored funding to existing health care programs and provided innovative solutions to public health problems. The agenda included expanding health insurance coverage, narrowing health disparities, promoting preventive care, and making prescription drugs more affordable. Though important to all Americans, these issues are of particular importance to the African American community which has been disproportionately affected by barriers to health insurance, health care, and education.
In the 110th Congress, Democrats are committed to ensuring that all Americans receive affordable and quality health care. On the first day of the new Congress, Senate Democrats introduced S.3, the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2007, which would improve Medicare's prescription drug benefit program by re-examining the provision of current law that prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services from negotiating drug prices under the Medicare drug program and exploring all tools available to ensure that all people with Medicare have access to the fairest prices for their medicines. Further, Democrats plan to evaluate the new program to ensure that it is actually working for seniors and people with disabilities and not leaving them confused and frustrated.
Reduce Unintended Pregnancies. While the abortion debate continues, Senate Democrats supported common sense measures in the 109th Congress aimed at promoting women's health and reducing the number of unintended pregnancies. Democrats introduced legislation that would have increased access to family planning services, ended private insurance discrimination against contraception coverage, provided assistance to rape victims, promoted unbiased family planning education, and increased funding for teen pregnancy prevention programs. Further, Democratic Senators worked on a bill to improve access to contraception through Medicaid, affording low-income women the same opportunities as other women have to avoid unintended pregnancies. In the 110th Congress, Democrats will continue to address the special health and health care needs of women.
Provide Necessary Social Services. In the 109th Congress, Democrats supported initiatives that provide social services to Americans in the greatest need, including children and the elderly. Democrats fought for additional funding for child care services, which enable parents to return to work, and the Low Income Energy Assistance Program, which allows low-income families to pay for home heating and cooling costs. Additionally, Congress, with the unanimous support of Democrats, reauthorized the Older Americans Act, which provides social services to the elderly, and the Child and Family Services Improvement Act, which enhances child welfare and assists children affected by drug abuse and addiction. In the 110th Congress, Democrats remain committed to providing a hand-up to our fellow Americans in their time of need.
Help Ensure Retirement Security. For years, Democrats have worked to strengthen Social Security and stopped Republican attempts to privatize the program and risk the financial security of American seniors. Social Security has protected millions of seniors from living in poverty and is the only source of income for one-in-three African Americans 65 and older. In the 110th Congress, Democrats will renew our promise to safeguard and strengthen the Social Security program.
Support and Encourage Small Business. During the 109th Congress, Democrats encouraged entrepreneurship in the African American community and worked to expand access to capital and resources for minority-owned businesses. African Americans own well over 1.2 million businesses in the natural states. Many of these businesses are small businesses that serve their local community and provide good-paying, stable jobs. Supporting these businesses is not only vital to the success of the African American community, it is vital to the success of our nation. Democrats are committed to continuing that support in the 110th Congress.
Rebuild the Gulf Coast Region. When Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast region, Senate Democrats worked to provide immediate relief to survivors, address the long-term challenges presented, and hold accountable those responsible for the tragic failures of the recovery effort. Last year, the Senate, with the support of Democrats, authorized hundreds of millions in additional funding for programs aimed at repairing houses damaged by the 2005 storm season. Further, Democrats fought to pass measures that provided health care coverage to survivors whose coverage was impacted by the administrative aftermath of the storm. As the years pass and media attention fades, one thing is certain, Democrats will remain focused on rebuilding the Gulf Coast region, addressing the economic disparities exposed by the storm, improving disaster response, and restoring the American people's faith in government, especially in the African American community.
Safeguard the Right to Vote. In the 109th Congress, Senate Democrats worked to protect the right to vote for all Americans by ensuring the reauthorization and strengthening of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). This year, Democrats will continue to safeguard the right to vote – the cornerstone of our democracy – and will reject unnecessary, de facto barriers to the ballot box.
Champion Civil Rights. For decades, Democrats have been the champion of civil rights forall Americans, especially for those burdened by overt and institutionalized racism and bigotry. In the 109th Congress, Democrats continued our efforts to advance and pass laws that expand equality and opportunity for African Americans in all areas of American life, including education, the economy, health care, and labor. Democrats also lead efforts to recognize and celebrate the many achievements of African Americans and to issue a long-overdue apology to the victims of lynching and their descendants. As we move into a new era of congressional leadership, African Americans can count on Democrats to continue to earn their vote and to be their voice in the halls of Congress.
Protect Civil Liberties. In the 109th Congress, Senate Democrats worked to safeguard the civil liberties of the American people, many of whom are rightly concerned about the legality and constitutionality of the Administration's warrantless wiretapping and data-mining programs. In the 110th Congress, Democrats remain steadfast in our commitment to oversee, investigate, and, where necessary, work with the President to revise these programs in an effort to promote national security policies that are tough on terror and in-keeping with our laws and the Constitution.
Fight for a Fair and Independent Judiciary. Throughout the 109th Congress, Senate Democrats called on President Bush to appoint men and women to the Supreme Court and lower courts who will independently and fairly protect the rights of all Americans without regard to a narrow ideological agenda. In the 110th Congress, under Democratic leadership, Senate Democrats will remain vigilant in examining the record, including the civil rights record, of all judicial nominees.
Secure the Nation. Implementing the 9/11 Commission recommendations has, and continues to be, a top priority for Senate Democrats. America's fight against terrorism remains unfinished, and our country is not as secure as it should be. It is past time to craft a strategy and build the capabilities that will help us win the war on terror and defeat violent extremism. It is also vital that we advance a more effective approach for protecting our homeland and for addressing the threat of loose nuclear materials and weapons of mass destruction. With the introduction of S.4, Improving America's Security by Implementing Unfinished Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act, Democrats are taking the first step toward renewing the American people's confidence that their government is making every effort to keep America safe and advance our national security objectives.
Support Troops and Veterans. In the 109th Congress, Senate Democrats worked to thank American troops and veterans for their service in defending our nation and its interests by giving them adequate equipment and resources while on the battlefield and providing them necessary medical, economic, and social services once they return home. African Americans make up nearly 20 percent of enlisted men and women, and there are more than 2.4 million African American veterans. Thus, troop readiness and veteran support are of great importance to African American families. On the first day of the 110th Congress,Democrats introduced S.8, the Rebuilding America's Military Act, which would express the sense of Congress that Congress should: 1) restore and enhance the capabilities America needs to protect her people and her interests around the world; 2) enhance the readiness of the Armed Forces, including the reset of military equipment worn out in Iraq, and return unit combat readiness to the necessary levels; and 3) support the men and women in uniform, including the members of our National Guard and Reserve forces, through the provision of quality health care and enhanced educational assistance. S.8 is only the first of what will be many efforts made by Democrats to support American servicemen and women and their families in the 110th Congress.
Responsibly End the Iraq War. In the 110th Congress, Senate Democrats are committed to continuing their call on President Bush to change course in Iraq and bring the war to a successful close. Deploying additional forces to the region would be a tragic mistake and is not a way forward. President Bush stands nearly alone in this strategy. Military generals, the American people, and even many Republicans agree: The time has come to transition our military mission, pursue a political and diplomatic solution, responsibly redeploy our troops, and end our open-ended commitment in Iraq.
Protect International Human Rights. Though America is at war and faces numerous challenges at home, Senate Democrats have not neglected our duty to respond to international human rights crisis abroad. Last year, Democrats helped pass legislation that guaranteed the United States' participation in ending the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. In 110th Congress, Democrats will continue and expand these efforts, thus honoring the international promise: "Never again."

There are three teams in the National League with a worse record than the Twins. That means that the Twins would have the fourth pick in the draft if the season ended today. The Padres and the Royals are close to having the same record as the Twins so each loss can be considered a good thing at this point. A better draft pick can go a long way to improving the franchise over some meaningless wins in the middle of August.
The draft is still a long way off and the weekend is almost upon us so sit back and buckle-up for another edition of "Friday Links-N-Thinks."
- Since he was a first round pick, Chris Parmelee has gone through different stages in his development.
- Liam Hendriks did an entertaining interview with John Sickels at Minor League Ball.
- It only took a little change to get Ben Revere to hit at a high level in the major leagues.
- It has been a disastrous rookie campaign for Brian Dozier.
- Pedro Florimon is getting called up to the Twins but who is this player that will replace Dozier?
- If the Yankees were looking to deal Phil Hughes, the Twins should listen.
- With the minor league seasons getting closer to ending, it's fun to look back at top prospect list from the offseason and see how players have done in 2012.
- It's only a couple weeks away from September call-ups and the Twins will have some decisions to make.
- Bryce Harper has been one of the most hyped prospects in the history of baseball. So would you trade the memories of the 2010 season for a chance to get him?
- The Twins spring training future might be in doubt because of the recent election in Florida.
- A new radio home for the Twins was announced this week.
- MLB put this picture up on their Facebook page wanting to know how people would caption this humorous photo.
- Every no hitter leaves a team on the bench wondering how they couldn't find a way to get a hit. Here's a look at the most recent victim of a no-hitter for each franchise.
- Former Twins slugger Jim Thome was recently recovering on the DL but he got a close up view of top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy and he liked what he saw.
- In other Orioles news, they have a creative way for figuring out what the order will be for their fantasy football draft.
- The recently released USPS stamp featuring Joe DiMaggio is a little confusing when you look at it.
- It has been a rough ride for Johan Santana since he threw his no-hitter in June.
- Twins fans might get spoiled seeing Miguel Cabrera in 18 games a year but it turns out that he is really good at hitting a baseball.
- So much for all of the big moves at the trade deadline...
- Adam Dunn might strikeout a ton but it can go a long way when he makes contact.
- How can AJ Pierzynski score from first on an infield hit? I'm glad you asked!
- Monday: Arcia, Hicks might have earned a look
- Tuesday: Piecing together the '13 starting rotation
- Tuesday's Trip through the Minors
- Thursday: What's the next step for Brian Dozier?
Video of the Week: This play between Torii Hunter and umpire Greg Gibson could have turned out a lot worse. Some of the photo's are a little graphic when the cleat is right in his face and there was clearly going to be some kind of cuts on his face. It was a strange play to see develop but the umpire was down trying to make the right call.

The 6-year-old daughter of Successful Appeal has been kept in
training after victories in the $100,000 Ocala on Dec. 30 and the
$300,000 Florida Sunshine Millions Distaff on Jan. 19 and will seek her
sixth career stakes triumph in Saturday's $150,000 Rampart (G3) on the
undercard of the $1 million Besilu Stables Florida Derby at Gulfstream.
"She has been doing just fantastic and he has been getting better
with age, as we can see from her last two races," said trainer Eddie
Plesa Jr., who is also slated to saddle Gulfstream Park Derby and Holy
Bull (G3) winner Itsmyluckyday for a start in the Florida Derby. "She's
doing well enough that they decided to cancel her retirement and date in
the breeding shed to keep her racing for another year."
Successful Song has won a stakes in each of the last four years,
earning $597,538 in purses, including $240,000 in her last two races.
"She's maintained her soundness and has gotten better – I think her
numbers bear that out. It's just a credit to her," Plesa said. "We've
always had a plan with her. We've always given her time off, and I think
that's really helped to maintain her and given her the longevity that
she's had."
Elvis Trujillo has the return mount aboard the Plesa-trained mare.
Successful Song is scheduled to clash with another 6-year-old mare
in the Rampart, a 1 1/8-mile stakes that attracted a field of six
fillies and mares, 4 years old and older. In stark contrast to the
Plesa-trained veteran who'll be making her 28th start, Padua Stables'
Authenticity is set to make her stakes debut in only her sixth start of
her career.
After breaking her maiden in the second start of a three-race
campaign in 2011, Authenticity had an 18-month layoff before debuting
for trainer Todd Pletcher with a third-place finish in a mile allowance
at Gulfstream on Jan. 21. The daughter of Quiet American was sent around
two turns on Feb. 14, and the Kentucky-bred mare responded with a
sparkling 17 ½-length triumph.
"I think the (inside post) going a one-turn mile hurt us (in her
first race). She didn't jump away from the gate that well and kind of
got jammed in behind horses the whole way," Pletcher said. "She's a
two-turn filly."
Pletcher is also scheduled to saddle Michael Tabor's Ciao Bella for
the Rampart. The 4-year-old daughter of Giant's Causeway is coming off a
sharp 5 ¾-length allowance victory over Gulfstream's main track after
going winless in four starts on turf.
"We were a little bit frustrated. She didn't seem to be finishing off her races like we expected her to," Pletcher said.
Ciao Bella had demonstrated a fondness for the main track at
Gulfstream while capturing her career debut by more than seven lengths
on Dec. 18, 2011. After coming back to win a Monmouth allowance in July
and finish fourth in an overnight stakes at Saratoga in August, she was
switched to turf for the Garden City (G1) at Belmont, in which she
finished fourth. She finished second in stakes at Keeneland and Calder
before finishing third in a Gulfstream allowance in December, before
Pletcher sent her back to the main track for her impressive main-track
score in February.
John Velazquez is named to ride Ciao Bella, while Rosie Napravnik has the mount aboard Authenticity.
Rounding out the field for the 36th running of the Rampart are: The
Marty Wolfson-trained Call The Ten, who won an allowance race at
Gulfstream on March 13 after being claimed for $30,000 out of his prior
start; Allen Jerkens-trained Go Unbridled, a graded-stakes placed mare
who is unraced this year; and Dale Romans-trained One Last Dance, who
finished a distant fourth behind champion Royal Delta in the Sabin (G3)
last time out.

Obviously, the Almighty is an incredibly busy personage, and time available for interviews like this are limited.
In fact, one factor that limits these sorts of encounters is the fact that the divine One is constantly listening to the prayers of all humankind. So the fact that the God of the universe would grant me a few moments is incredibly humbling.
I began with this question: "Lord, since we have such a limited time for this interview, I want to focus on one particular topic. In the United States, we are about to launch yet another political season. Several candidates in the race for president have staked out a special relationship with you that they say makes them particularly well suited for the office of president. I was hoping you would comment on that assertion and tell us if you have any actual endorsements."
God replied: "I don't endorse candidates. In fact, I don't endorse any particular form of governance. What I have observed through the centuries of human development is that you humans have an intense proclivity toward organizing yourselves to benefit yourselves. I tried to make it clear in sending Jesus into the world that my concern was for the 'least of these' in your midst. But almost all of the political and economic arrangements you have concocted ignore the needs of the needy and reward the interests of the wealthy."
"I had Jesus proclaim the Kingdom of God," God continued, "which was a vision of a community of justice, equality and forgiveness."
I followed up with, "So, the politicians who claim to have a special relationship with you are lying?"
God replied: "I would not go that far. Anyone who calls on me gets my attention. I care for all people. Anyone who sincerely and devotedly comes to me in prayer is certainly going to get a hearing.
"What I object to are those who claim that because they have called on me that I have somehow given them special standing. That is not the way it works. Again, when I sent Jesus into the world, he made it clear that those who are the servants to others are the great ones. Those who seek to advance their own agenda at the expense of others are not following my wisdom."
I then asked: "Is there anything in particular that you find disappointing about the way we conduct our public life?"
The Lord replied: "Violence. You use violence to solve every problem. There are drugs so you declare a war on drugs. There is terrorism so you declare a war on terrorism. I tried to make it clear in the teachings of Jesus that violence only begets more violence. After 50,000 years of human existence, I wish I could get that across to all of you."
God went on: "Jesus was pressed one time to express what the greatest commandment was, what was most important. He said, and I concur, that what is most important is to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself. There is no way to love your neighbor while bombing his or her neighborhood."
With time fleeting, I tried to wrap up with this question: "Are there any closing thoughts you would like to leave us with, something that would help us live in these difficult and confusing times?"
The Lord replied, "I have said everything you need to know through Jesus. Listen to him."

Dion Phaneuf, Phil Kessel and James Reimer took most of the bows when the Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off a heart-stopping clutch win over the Boston Bruins and rightly so but a group of youngsters who all spent time with the Leafs' farm team can say they played a pretty big role, too.
When No. 1 centre Tyler Bozak was a surprise scratch just before the game Sunday night with an undisclosed injury, the Leafs' future had to be now. Head coach Randy Carlyle had to dress centre Joe Colborne, 23, who spent almost all of this season with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. It also meant more ice time for right winger Matt Frattin, 25, who also started this season with the Marlies, as Bozak's minutes had to be spread around.
But Colborne and Frattin, who played on a line with veteran Joffrey Lupul, responded with a big effort, continually outplaying whatever Bruins line they faced. Both of them were right there with Kessel's 15 minutes and 39 seconds of ice time with Colborne at 15:05, not bad for his first NHL playoff game, and Frattin at 15:36.
Without them filling the hole up front, the Leafs never would have been in position for the heroics from Phaneuf and Kessel in the 2-1 win that tied the NHL playoff series 3-3 and forced the seventh and deciding game in Boston on Monday night.
It was one more surprise for a Bruins team that seems increasingly frustrated by the loose, high-flying Leafs. Now, as if things weren't tense enough for a team with the spectre of blowing a 3-0 series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010 and losing in seven in the first round last year hanging over it, another problem came up after the game.
The Bruins announced there was a mechanical problem with the plane that was to take them back to Boston after the game. While the Leafs were on their way to Boston on their charter flight, the Bruins said they would be bunking down in Toronto and returning home Monday morning.
Also chipping in again with a big game was another Marlies grad, 22-year-old Jake Gardiner, who earned top minutes again among the defencemen from Carlyle after having to bide his time this season before earning a job on the Leafs. His 21:19 was second on the team in ice time only to Phaneuf's 25:16.
Actually, Colborne's presence in the lineup was a surprise to everyone but him and his parents, Paul and Janice. Carlyle and the Leafs even faked out their own public-address announcer, adding Bozak's name to the list of lineup scratches after they were already announced just before the game. But Colborne was told right after the Leafs won Game 5 in Boston on Friday that Bozak was hurt (it's an undisclosed injury, suspected to be his right arm) and he would be playing Sunday.
"Randy wanted to throw you guys for a bit of a loop, I think, so we kept it real quiet," said Colborne, who was called up to the Leafs on April 4. "I wasn't able to tell anyone outside of my parents and I made them swear that they wouldn't be letting that slip, either."
Carlyle tried to keep the subterfuge going after the game. When he was asked about the switch, the coach said, "You know we waited right 'til warm up where [Bozak] told us he couldn't go …"
Then someone jumped in with what Colborne confessed and the coach professed mock outrage. "He's going to learn to shut his you know what," Carlyle said.
Given the way Colborne played, the consequences from the coach should not be too dire. If Bozak is unable to play in Game 7, Carlyle said he would have no hesitation in putting Colborne back in there, nor any of the other youngsters who distinguished themselves Sunday night.
Their determination was remarkable because this was an intense, close-checking game with no room for errors of any kind, let alone rookie mistakes. The kind men play, as both coaches are fond of saying.
"I don't have any qualms about putting those kids in situations as long as they understand defence is first in their first foray," Carlyle said. "The responsibility they have is they can't be noticed for the negatives. As long as they go through the game and don't hurt you, that is a huge step."
The huge step for Colborne and Frattin came in the second period when they began dominating the Bruins on every shift. Along with Lupul, they cycled the puck around the Boston zone and on one shift with Gardiner on the point the Bruins barely touched the puck.
Frattin sat out Game 1 and then was handed an important role as Phil Kessel's decoy starting in Game 2. This resulted in a lot of important shifts against Kessel's nemesis, Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara, and Frattin, who is at his best when he plays a hitting game, got a little better and a little more confident each time out. So did Colborne when he got his chance.
"Oh yeah," Colborne said. "As the game went on, I just tried to keep it really simple. Playing with guys like [Lupul and Frattin], they made it easy on me."
What was not so easy was dealing with his nerves after Carlyle gave him the big news Friday night. Colborne went into the game on little sleep.
"Not at all," he said of how he slept over the weekend, "especially the pre-game nap. I was tossing and turning for about three hours."
Colborne compared his first playoff game to his first NHL regular-season game in the 2010-11 season. "The nerves that I had [Sunday night] were probably only comparable to my first NHL game. I felt like I was a basket case for the whole first period that game," he said.
While his first playoff game "was everything I expected," the heightened intensity was an adjustment.
"The passion out there, every shift is do-or-die," he said. "You literally feel if you don't get the puck out or if you don't make the right plays you let your team down."
A nice bonus for Colborne was making his NHL debut against the team that drafted him in the first round in 2008 but then gave up on him. Colborne was part of the trade that saw defenceman Tomas Kaberle go from the Leafs to the Bruins in February, 2011.
CoIborne said he has nothing bad to say about his treatment by the Bruins but, "Is it a little sweet? Yeah."
The only thing less than sweet for him was that only his father could make it from their hometown of Calgary for Sunday's game. His mother had to remain behind for a family matter.
"I had some plans to get flowers sent to Calgary and found out I was playing so I cancelled those and had some [flowers] here and then she couldn't make it out," Colborne said. "That ruined everything but I'm sure seeing me out there I'm sure she had a pretty good Mother's Day."
By the end of the second period, the play of Colborne, Frattin and Gardner was getting contagious. Nazem Kadri, who made a big splash in his first full season in the NHL but found the going much harder in his first playoff series, started playing much stronger.
With Bozak on the shelf, Kadri had to take a bigger role, playing between Kessel and James van Riemsdyk, and he was there when it mattered. It was his shot that Phaneuf deflected early in the third to send the crowd into a roar of relief and he was around the net a few minutes later when Kessel scored.Report Typo/Error

Thinking about starting selective vax with my unvaxed 13 yr. old dd. As the years have gone by I have begun to change my mind about no vax, especially since she has asthma and illness seems to hit her harder because of that. My current concern is: We saw her asthma doc last week and he wants her to go on Flovent. The side effects warn that contracting measles while on this drug can be serious and even fatal. So my questions are - do I get her the MMR right away? Is there a just-measles shot? (not MMR). How long before immunity kicks in? I was vaxed for measles as a child (including boosters) and got measles anyway! Feedback appreciated, thanks!
Any reason you do not want her to get the rubella portion of the MMR in addition to the measles?
I do not vax, but will talk about and consider rubella with my daughters in their mid teens as rubella is not something I want them to contract when pregnant.
Here is a link on single measles, mumps, rubella vaccines...it looks like they may or may not be available now, but should be available shortly. Good luck in your decisions and search.
You are right about the rubella vax being a consideration for girls. I was not specifically trying to avoid it, just solely focusing on measles. Good point, it would probably make sense to get her the MMR rather than just measles if that is even available.
The only reason measles is specifically mentioned is because there is a vaccine for it. Chickenpox is also mentioned, for the same reason. But the fact is, there are many diseases that will be dangerous for her while she is on Flovent. http://us.gsk.com/products/assets/us_flovent_hfa.pdf
^^I would think the reason measles and chicken pox are specifically mentioned is because they are respiratory infections; ie.more likely to result in complications for those with chronic respiratory diseases, particularly because steroidal meds weaken the immune system.
OP: following the catch-up schedule, she could get 2 doses of MMR, 4 weeks apart. 95% of vaccinees are immune after the first dose, 99% are immune after the second dose.

This powerful Category 5 hurricane walloped South Florida, mainly the area south of Miami, in August 1992. Storm season started quietly that year with minimal activity -- even Andrew was originally considered a "weak" formation when it developed in the Atlantic Ocean -- but ended with a bang. By the time it hit the Bahamas, this first-named storm of the season sent winds whipping at more than 160 mph (257 kph) [sources: Allen, Huffington Post, Rappaport].
In Florida, Andrew demolished scores of homes, exposing what experts later determined was a flimsy and under-enforced housing inspection code. It turned low-lying streets into waterways and killed 15 people. The storm also left drivers to fend for themselves for weeks, as roughly 9,500 traffic signs and signals were destroyed [sources: Allen, Huffington Post, Rappaport].
With damage estimated at $26.5 billion, Andrew was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history for more than a decade. One positive legacy was that the South Florida building code was entirely revamped and now all new homes are required to have storm shutters or impact-resistant glass; roofs have enhanced nail requirements, too [source: Allen].

Cheney leaves hospital
after angioplasty
WASHINGTON (AP) Vice President
Cheney was released from the hospital Tuesday, a day after undergoing a surgical
procedure to repair a damaged artery. The vice president walked out of George
Washington University Hospital, shook hands with his doctors and was driven away.
''Good,'' he said in response to a reporter's shouted question about how he felt.
Cheney was up about 7 a.m. and was ''antsy'' to leave, said senior aide Mary Matalin.
sets of cardiac enzyme tests showed no damage to Cheney's heart muscle, and ''multiple
EKGs have been unchanged,'' she said. Cheney will rest at home and likely will
return to work later this week, said White House spokesman Ari Fleischer.
restrictions have been placed on his work," Fleischer said. He said President
Bush had not spoken with Cheney about his work schedule, but the president "expects
him to follow his doctor's orders."
Cheney aide Mary
Matalin said three sets of cardiac enzyme tests showed no damage to Cheney's heart
The procedure Cheney underwent Monday was prompted
by "a common complication" of his prior heart procedure, not a progression of
heart disease, Matalin said.
Cheney should be able to
continue in his job unimpeded by his latest heart problems, doctors say, shrugging
off any suggestion that he should curtail travel or his intense workload.
Cheney also was given some tough news after he had an angioplasty to unclog a
coronary artery Monday. Even if he sticks to his no-beef diet and rigorous workout
regimen, there is a fair chance he will be back in the hospital facing the same
trouble soon, his physicians said.
"Well, it's possible
for the narrowing to come back, and I think I quoted around 40%," Dr. Jonathan
Reiner, who performed the surgery at George Washington University, told a news
conference. "There are studies that may show, you know, a little bit higher than
that. If the narrowing is going to come back, usually it comes back within the
first six months."
Cheney, who has had four heart attacks,
underwent the angioplasty after he experienced a series of subtle pains in his
chest. Doctors said their best evidence indicated that Cheney, 60, had not suffered
another heart attack.
The artery, which had been opened
during surgery at the same hospital in November, had partially reclosed, Reiner
said. The culprit was scar tissue building up in the same channel doctors had
opened previously.
Monday night Cheney was groggy and
sedated, but Reiner said he should be back at work this week. When asked whether
Cheney could face travel restrictions, or any restrictions at all, Reiner said,
Cheney could be released Tuesday; a decision was
expected Tuesday morning.
"There is a very high likelihood
he can finish out his term in his fully vigorous capacity," Reiner said. Cheney
quickly resumed a full schedule after the November operation.
Bush called the vice president to wish him well, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer
said. "During their five-minute phone call, the vice president told the president
that he was feeling fine and looked forward to returning to work."
this latest incident, Cheney checked himself into George Washington University
Hospital, about six blocks west of the White House, after feeling chest pain briefly
on two occasions Monday. He also had felt chest discomfort Saturday after stepping
off an exercise machine, and on Sunday, after taking a walk.
said the episodes were "much milder and very brief" compared with the chest pains
he experienced in November. "The symptoms were subtle" this time, Reiner said.
attended a birthday party for Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on Sunday
night, capping a weekend in which he and his wife, Lynne Cheney, moved into the
vice president's residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. They also sold their
townhouse in McLean, Va.
On Monday, doctors inserted
a flexible tube into the narrowed artery carrying a collapsed balloon. Once the
balloon was in place, it was inflated, reopening the artery.
the November procedure, doctors had implanted a wire scaffolding-like device called
a stent to prop open the same artery, which had been found to be 90% closed.
said that following such stent procedures, there always was a chance of the artery
becoming blocked again.
Cheney has had four heart attacks,
the first when he was 37. In 1988, he had quadruple bypass surgery to clear clogged
His latest troubles could not have been prevented,
doctors said.
"The vice president has been exceedingly
diligent at adhering to what we've wanted him to do, including very, very regular
exercise and really a very strict adherence to a diet, which is hard for people
to do, and he's been very good at it," Reiner said.
Cheney arrived at the hospital Monday, he underwent a cardiac catheterization
to determine what was causing the chest pains.
In that
procedure, doctors insert a flexible tube into a leg vessel, and it is run from
there up to the target artery supplying blood to the heart. At that point, dye
is injected. The dye shows up on an X-ray or fluoroscope, enabling doctors to
see the flow of blood through the artery.
When the blockage
was noted, the angioplasty was performed.
Cheney is
an unusually active and influential vice president. He headed Bush's transition
team, played a major role in Cabinet and top personnel selections and has helped
Bush forge his foreign policy as well as a national energy policy. White House
officials say Cheney is the adviser Bush most relies upon to make sure his agenda
is carried out.
His hospitalization came less than a
week after Bush's first address to Congress, just as Bush is trying to generate
attention and support for his tax-cut plan.
In a television
interview Sunday, Cheney said he felt great. "I am well-behaved. They've taken
control of my food supply. So I'm trying to do all those things you need do to
be a responsible individual with a history of coronary artery disease and somebody
who's 60," he told CNN.
Cheney, who has declined to
release his full medical records, seemingly has lost some weight in recent weeks,
but aides won't say how much or how much he now weighs. He exercises regularly
on a treadmill and has been skipping sweets, aides said.

Richard Woodward Hutson
Richard Woodward Hutson, son of Charles J.C. Hutson, and grandson of W.F. Colcock, was born in 1869. He was educated at the South Carolina Military Academy, which later became the Citadel. His great-uncle, Richard Woodward Colcock, was president of the South Carolina Military Academy from 1844 to 1852. R.W. Hutson read law and was admitted to the Bar in 1890. He served as deputy clerk to his father in the United States District Court of South Carolina. When his father died, he was appointed clerk by Judge William H. Brawley, and served for 36 years, under five judges, until his death in 1939.
All who had business with the office of the clerk of the United States district court had complete confidence in it all the years of Richard Woodward Hutson's tenure. His records were always in excellent order and readily available. He was versed in the court's rules and was able to assist counsel from time to time. With Mr. Hutson public records were always open to the public. (1)

Internet hoaxes are nothing new, unfortunately, and they range from tricking someone into thinking they're falling in love with someone to scamming people out of their hard-earned money. The latest hoax is targeting celebrities and works by playing on their emotions by sending a letter from a child dying with cancer.
Nashville star Kimberly Williams-Paisley and husband Brad Paisley found themselves the victims of such a hoax last year and have decided to go public with it.
Back in September of 2012, an email was sent to Kimberly requesting that she get in touch with a woman's 8-year-old daughter who was dying from neuroblastoma, a type of cancer. The family wasn't asking for any money--they just wanted Kimberly to get in touch with the young girl because she was such a big fan.
Read the email that was sent to Kimberly Williams-Paisley and obtained by ABC below.
From: Carrie Kahler
Subject: Claire/ Kimberly Williams
Date: September 3, 2012 8:04:54 PM PDT
Hello, my name is Carrie Kahler. I have an eight year old daughter Claire who is suffering from end stage cancer (neuroblastoma). A couple weeks ago Claire asked me If I could "find" Miss Kimberly for her. I told her I would do my best but made no promises. Well, to be honest with all the chaos and excitement that ensued with Claire coming home from the hospital with hospice. I forgot. However Claire reminded me earlier today. I asked Claire why it was so important for me to find miss Kimberly for her she said, "Mommy miss Kimberly deserves to know how much she has helped me. She left fingerprints on my heart." After hearing that I decided I would do whatever I could to let Kimberly know about Claire.
Please know we are not wanting or asking for anything from you or Kimberly. Claire is going to be with Jesus very soon. Nothing on this earth is going to save her from that.
Claire has written a very sweet letter for Kimberly and would like her to read it before she passes away. I don't know if that is possible. I was hoping to email Claire's letter to you and maybe you could forward it to Kimberly. Claire knows Kimberly from a movie "The Christmas Shoes".
She doesn't know who she is married to or that she has made other movies. I promise we want nothing. If you cannot forward claires letter can you pass along this message from her to Kimberly?
"Miss Kimberly thank you for making my heart so happy. You have a very pretty heart. Lots of grown ups can't see it but I can. I will never forget how you made me feel the first time I saw your movie. You made me feel so brave and I'm not scared to die because you helped me be brave. I love you. Love, Claire."
love from the Kahler family
David Carrie Claire Conner and Caleb
"It sounded very sort of real," Kimberly said. "But she wasn't dying to get a hold of me. You know, that was kind of the beginning of the manipulation. As a mother, wanting my kids to be okay, she hit my softest spot."
The mother even sent pictures of her daughter as well as recordings of songs the girl had sung for Kimberly. Needless to say, Kimberly and Brad were sold. They ended up communicating with the girl and her mother and Brad sang Amazing Grace to the girl on the phone at one point.
"You're singing to someone's dying kid," Brad said. "And in the middle of it, there's no way that's not real. How can that not be real?
The truth comes out.
The hoax was revealed after the mother told Kimberly and Brad that the girl had died. When the couple wanted to send flowers, the woman refused to give her address. She then sent Kimberly an email saying, "I don't need you to pray for me. Doesn't seem like god hears much of anything these days."
After doing some investigating, Kimberly and Brad discovered that they were the victims of a hoax and that the woman had been using pictures of another child with cancer to trick them. The woman apparently took pictures off another mom's blog that tracked the progress of her child with neuroblastoma.
"That's the sickest part about this to me," Brad Paisley said. "That is the part that when I start to talk about that, that's when I get really mad. That there were real kids, that there were real photos involved."
Apparently, the Paisleys aren't the only celebrities that have been victimized by this emotional hoax. Natalie Grant, band members from Little Big Town and reality TV star Kate Gosselin are just a few celebrities that have been tricked.
Kimberly says that she and her husband decided to come out on the hoax to hopefully prevent others from being victimized. "We really wanted to come out and talk about it publicly just to draw attention to what can happen so that people are aware," she said. "When they put their kids online, pictures of their kids online, things like this can happen."
