SO OFTEN the big stables monopolise the big prizes. But occasionally one of the smaller yards will chance on a good horse. And those trainers show that they, too, can do the job.
Cranbourne's Ray Besanko is the latest in a long line of trainers from his family, but it's fair to say he has not become a household name: his tally before he brought his stable star Red Inca to Flemington on Saturday was one metropolitan winner and four other placegetters from 17 starters so far this season.
But racing trades on dreams. So after the three-year-old son of Stratum got up to win the 1410-metre Seascay Handicap by a half-neck from the $16 chance General Groove, Besanko was happy to share his hopes for the future of his lightly-raced gelding, who won for the second time in eight starts and for the first time in the city despite drifting from $4.80 to $7.
Red Inca also had to survive a vet's inspection at the start after banging the stalls.
''It's all guns forward. I have been working for a long time, and hard to get one as good as this,'' said Besanko of his $80,000 Magic Millions purchase. ''We've had a lot of fair horses, but to get one like this with the promise he has is just fantastic.
''It's the C. S. Hayes Stakes [a group 3 at Flemington] next, and if he can run in the first three there then it's the Guineas [group 1 at Flemington in March].''
■Darren Weir has had his share of days in the spotlight and the trainer is another who is set to chase group-race prizes with one of Saturday's winners, Lord Of Brazil.
The wonderfully consistent six-year-old, solidly supported at $5.50, showed plenty of courage to get up on the line to win the Craftsman Handicap (1720 metres) , by a nose from The New Boy ($8.50).
Weir's galloper gave Brad Rawiller the second leg of a treble which he kicked off aboard Mick Kent's former Queensland mare Goldslick ($6.50) in the Dover Handicap. The daughter of Bradbury's Luck pounced late, scoring from David Hayes' $61 shot Unchain My Heart. Rawiller completed his treble and brought up a double for Kent when he got up along the inside rail to score cleverly on another former Queenslander, Danish Whiskey ($11). It was his 21st city winner this season and puts him equal fourth on the premiership.
Lord Of Brazil has now had 22 starts and earned a cheque on 18 occasions, winning 10 times.
He has been in work for about a year, Weir said, but thrives on racing.
''He's just a winner, he knows where the line is and he's a real racehorse. Credit goes to the staff at Warrnambool. The horse has been in work for 12 months and that was his 12th run, so he's really having one run a month. The way he went today he wouldn't need to go to the paddock,'' Weir said, suggesting that the group 3 Carlyon Cup at Caulfield on February 9 could be his next target.
''I don't think it's lifting the bar. Whatever he runs in he will run well.''
■Anthony Freedman has gone back to the future by moving out of his family's Markdel facility and returning to the Flemington training centre where the Freedman brothers made their name in the 1980s.
The listed Kensington Stakes over 1000 metres might not be the biggest event Freedman will win from his new base, but it might be one of the most memorable as his grand old galloper First Command ($1.65) justified the odds with an easy victory under Glen Boss.
■First starter Metastasio ($3.60 favourite) added to the Darley team of Blue Diamond Stakes hopefuls when she made an impressive winning debut in the Nursery Plate (1100 metres). Metastasio was never going to be beaten, scoring by 2¼ lengths from Kona Breeze.

Dr Abbas Khan 'did not kill himself' in Syria
Two men, who were in prison with a British doctor in Syria, have spoken for the first time about his death and have cast doubt on the official Syrian explanation.
Syrian government officials claim that Dr Khan, who was detained while volunteering in Aleppo to treat victims of the civil war, took his own life.
At a pre-inquest hearing in London on Monday, the coroner heard there was evidence of bruising on Dr Khan's body.

Wash. Post article on Bush "taking ... opportunities to explore his sensitive side while discussing his legacy" omits mention of Hurricane Katrina
In an article headlined "Bush's Sensitive Side is Showing," Washington Post reporter Dan Eggen quoted former Bush official John DiIulio saying, "Clinton talked, 'I feel your pain.' ... But as Bush showed in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, he truly does feel deeply for others and loves this country with a passion." Despite quoting DiIulio's characterization of Bush's expressions of empathy as genuine and Clinton's not, at no point did Eggen mention Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina, for which he was widely criticized.
In a December 14 article, headlined "Bush's Sensitive Side is Showing [1]," Washington Post staff writer Dan Eggen reported that President George W. Bush was "getting a bit misty in his final weeks, taking frequent opportunities to explore his sensitive side while discussing his legacy -- from the importance of his Christian faith to his conviction that, sometimes, all we need is love." Eggen wrote, "The wave of presidential emoting comes as part of an effort by Bush and his aides to highlight the positive side of his legacy as he nears his final month in office, while also bidding farewell to world leaders and longtime colleagues." Eggen quoted John J. DiIulio Jr., former director of the Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives, saying: "[Former President Bill] Clinton talked, 'I feel your pain.' ... But as Bush showed in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, he truly does feel deeply for others and loves this country with a passion." At no point in the article -- in which Eggen quoted DiIulio purporting to contrast what he said was Bush's genuine empathy with what he characterized as Clinton's disingenuous expressions of empathy -- did the reporter mention Hurricane Katrina or note the widespread, bipartisan condemnation that Bush received over his response to its devastation.
For instance, as Media Matters for America noted [2], in an August 26, 2006, article, the Post quoted numerous Republicans criticizing the White House's handling of the crisis and commenting on the political challenges that resulted from it: Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-NC) said that Katrina "undermined" Bush's reputation as an able leader; Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) described the crisis as "a break in the levee of political goodwill and the Teflon coating that the administration had been enjoying up to then"; Rep. Jim McCrery (R-LA) complained about the images of Bush "joshing amid the devastation"; and White House counselor Dan Bartlett referred to the storm as a "setback."
Terry Ebbert, then-head of New Orleans' emergency operations, reportedly said [3] of the federal government's response to Katrina: "This is a national emergency. This is a national disgrace."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said [4] in a September 6, 2005, press release, "This is not just a natural disaster; this is a failure to prepare." Pelosi later added: "The American people expect and deserve accountability, they expect leadership, and they expect competence. They didn't see any of that coming out of the White House following the disaster of Katrina." Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) said in a September 3, 2005, statement: "The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast -- black and white, rich and poor, young and old -- deserve far better from their national government." The New York Times reported [5] on September 2, 2005, that "Representative Harold Ford, Democrat of Tennessee, said in a statement that Bush's speech on the hurricane from the Rose Garden on Wednesday was 'uninspiring and uninstructive' and added that he was struck by Bush's 'cavalier attitude toward the plight of poor people across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.' Ford added that "now is not the time in the face of pain, anguish, and death to be weak and uncertain."
Bipartisan committees in Congress also leveled harsh criticism at the Bush administration over its handling of Katrina. Media Matters documented [6] the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs' release of a report [7] in May 2006, which concluded [8] that the Department of Homeland Security "failed to lead an effective federal response to Hurricane Katrina" and listed specific steps that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff failed to take both before and after the storm. The report stated [9], "Secretary Chertoff failed to make ready the full range of federal assets pursuant to DHS's responsibilities under the National Response Plan (NRP)" and "failed to appoint a Principal Federal Official (PFO), the official charged with overseeing the federal response under the NRP, until 36 hours after landfall." Michael Brown, the PFO that Chertoff eventually chose, "was hostile to the federal government's agreed-upon response plan and therefore was unlikely to perform effectively in accordance with its principles." Moreover, the Senate report stated [10], "Even when appointed PFO, Brown remained the Director of FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency], an apparent violation of the NRP's requirement that a PFO not be 'dual hatted' with any other roles or responsibilities that could detract from their overall incident-management responsibilities.' "
Similarly, the House of Representatives' Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina, which released its final report [11] on February 15, 2006, found that "critical elements of the National Response Plan," parts of which Chertoff was responsible for, "were executed late, ineffectively, or not at all." The report also asserted that "DHS and the states were not prepared for" Katrina.
From Eggen's December 14 Washington Post article, "Bush's Sensitive Side is Showing [1]:
For President Bush, it seems, love is in the air.
Standing Friday before a welcoming crowd at Texas A&M University, he talked about the "unconditional love" he received from his father, the "gift of love" given by a couple who care for foster children, and his eagerness to return to the "place I love" once he leaves office.
The president who once dared militants to "bring 'em on" is getting a bit misty in his final weeks, taking frequent opportunities to explore his sensitive side while discussing his legacy -- from the importance of his Christian faith to his conviction that, sometimes, all we need is love.
Such touchy-feely rhetoric is not entirely foreign for Bush, who first ran for the presidency as a "compassionate conservative" and spoke frequently about his religious faith and the need to "love a neighbor" in his 2000 campaign. But during eight years that have included war, partisan battles and an economic catastrophe, Bush's kinder and gentler side has not often been on such full display.
The wave of presidential emoting comes as part of an effort by Bush and his aides to highlight the positive side of his legacy as he nears his final month in office, while also bidding farewell to world leaders and longtime colleagues. Between boasts about vanquishing terrorists and succeeding in Iraq, many of his recent speeches and interviews have focused on social programs and initiatives -- such as anti-drug and anti-AIDS efforts -- that lend themselves to an emotional appeal.
Bush's rhetoric has always offered a mix of the tough and the tender, reflecting the personality of a taciturn Texan who nonetheless has talked publicly about his struggles with drinking and the born-again Christian experience he had after he turned 40. John J. DiIulio Jr., the first director of Bush's Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives, wrote in 2002 that "in many ways, he is all heart."
"Clinton talked, 'I feel your pain,' " DiIulio wrote, referring to the 42nd president's famous public empathy. "But as Bush showed in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, he truly does feel deeply for others and loves this country with a passion."

When George Orwell worked in a London bookshop in the 1930s, he found the ''sweet smell of decaying paper'' nauseating. Books, he wrote, ''give off more and nastier dust than any class of objects yet invented''. Not at Sempere & Sons, Barcelona, the bookstore hub of this novel. Nor in Zafon's universe more generally, a place heady with ''the perfume of books'' and aglow with the joy of literary pulp.
This is the third in a series of staggeringly popular novels - the first, The Shadow of the Wind, has sold 15 million copies - that trace the fate of a group of writers and bibliophiles in Barcelona during and after the Spanish Civil War. You can start here, though, since the stories are entwined rather than sequential, and anyway, Zafon stuffs long chunks of catch-up exposition into his dialogue with an unabashed glee that is, like almost every other storytelling trick he tosses into this paella of a yarn, hard to resist.
Young Daniel Sempere, our narrator, takes up the saga in 1957. Daniel's bookshop colleague and closest friend, Fermin Romero de Torres, wishes to marry his beloved but can't - he has no legal name. His is an identity he stole from a bullfighting poster in 1939, and which, in an involved bit of bad luck the novel goes on to recount, ''died'' a year later in the notorious prison of Montjuic Castle.
Back we go to 1939, where the cards of Fermin's future ''were being dealt out among lunatics, thugs and dying men''. In the next cell is David Martin, the titular prisoner of heaven and - as readers of Zafon's The Angel Game will know - a novelist of great, though unregarded, talent. His nemesis, and soon Fermin's also, is prison governor Mauricio Valls, a wannabe novelist and regime lickspittle who, ''like all untalented men of letters was, deep down, as practical as he was conceited''.
It would be unfair to say any more about the plot, except to note that, once revealed, the drama of 1939-40 will change everything in 1957 and deepen mysteries in Daniel's own past in ways that are touching, darkly funny and outrageously unlikely.
The unlikely is Zafon's specialty. His work openly revels in a tradition of popular storytelling that goes back to Cervantes and Dumas, whose Count of Monte Cristo provides the yeast starter for the plump loaf of melodrama Zafon has baked here. There are echoes of Umberto Eco and Arturo Perez-Reverte, too, in all the lost secrets, maze-like streets, and Zafon's almost deranged passion for old books.
Unlike them, however, Zafon disdains the occult, preferring to haunt his characters with the real ghosts of the Spanish Civil War. In 1940, Barcelona is a city of squalor and misery. It's worse for Fermin than most, but this ''unconditional supporter of lost causes'' is determined to share Spain's fate. ''I always tell myself that having direct access to serrano ham makes up for everything.''
This isn't history, though. The past merely provides the atmospherics for a rip-roaring adventure inspired by other books, and no one's pretending otherwise. This novel derives much of its charm from the way Zafon relishes the conventions of popular fiction, flagrantly manipulating stock characters and concealing mysteries inside mysteries - usually inside books.
And that's perhaps the most improbable feature of Zafon's (literally) escapist world: here, nothing matters to people as much as old books and the secrets they keep. It's a romantic fantasy for book-lovers, but in the digital age, it answers a nostalgia for the dear old paper book that is only going to grow stronger.

A New Look — and Name — for ONE UN New York
By Terry Trucco
North by Northwest, one of my favorite movies, was on television recently. Which got me thinking about the United Nations General Assembly Building, a magnificent international style classic just seven year old when the movie was released in 1959. Which got me thinking about the Millenium UN Plaza, the once-gleaming, twin-towered hotel designed by architect Kevin Roche and planted across the street from the United Nations in 1976.
The 40-story hotel looked shopworn when I visited a while back. But that was then. Last fall the hotel unveiled the $30 million renovation of its West Tower consisting of 129 rooms, 25 suites and a new club for guests perched on the 30th floor.
To underscore the changes, the hotel slimmed down – and capped up — its name to become ONE UN New York, a less-corporate-sounding nod to its One UN Plaza address. I stopped by for a look.
Roche didn't design the General Assembly Building, but he worked in the planning office of the United Nations Headquarters early in his career. The minimalist hotel tower he created
two decades later with its shimmering glass and metal facade stands across from the UN as a worthy foil, one with a dash of disco flash. A police dog prowls the front door, sniffing every bag that enters (another reminder you're in the shadow of the UN).
The lobby, a High 70s hall of mirrors and green marble awaiting a redo sometime this year, still makes me want to hum Donna Summer's greatest hits. But it's been tweaked with sleek sofas in the sunken seating area and a smart new grab-and-go Café stocked with Illy coffee and agreeably priced, pre-fab salads, sandwiches and cupcakes you can eat in the lobby or take upstairs to sidestep room service.
A marble-encased alcove leads to the West Tower elevators, which swoop you up to the 29th floor. Guest rooms begin here, and Roche endowed them with two blessings – generous size (the smallest are 367 square feet) and edgy shapes (we didn't see any obvious squares or rectangles).
The suites I saw resembled small apartments – and a not-so-small apartment in the case of
the duplex we visited. Devised by French designer Didier Gomez, rooms are contemporary and comfortable with sufficient edge to stave off visual boredom but not enough to offend.
The clean-lined furniture rich in mid-century inflections looks thoroughly at home in mid-century rooms outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, some sharply angled. And while the white walls are almost devoid of ornament, riotously patterned carpeting that calls to mind giant Zen stones is a reminder that the floor is a fifth wall.
In the sleeping area, a cocoa-colored accent wall creates a serene backdrop for the simple
white-sheeted bed. The flatpanel TV is angled in front of the window for in-bed viewing.
Bathrooms I saw were big, up-to-date and inviting, with angled soaking tubs and sleek toilets with squared edges.
International delegations will no doubt feel at home here but so should families (the hotel features a pool and tennis courts). Guests who spring for the West Tower also can visit the Skyline Club, which serves up a comp continental breakfast, evening cocktails and a spacious sitting area with postcard views of the UN.
Indeed, views are a notable perk, whether from the club or the rooms. Yes, the hotel all-but-hugs the East River making points west of the United Nations a trek. But book the right room and on a clear day you can see all the way to the top of Freedom Tower at the tip of Manhattan. Or you can gaze at the spire of the Chrysler Building. Or the movie buff in you can pretend you're Cary Grant and look onto the big blue tower where Lester Townsend assembled the General Assembly — and where Ban Ki-moon assembles it now.
ONE UN New York, One United Nations Plaza at East 44th Street; 212 758-1234. West Tower rooms from $380, East Tower (unrenovated) rooms from $220.

I bet they get a lot of people from the UN. The colors of the rooms were so soothing!

I agree with Jessie – this would be a great place to have the walls talking!

They do indeed get a lot of UN people. Thanks, Wandering Eds!
I'd love to hear the walls talk, too! Thanks, Cat.
The first time I visited in New York we stayed here and it was great, but the new look is definitely an improvement.
Looks like they've done a great job on the reno!
Comment by D.J. - The World of Deej — March 7, 2013 @ 10:33 pm
The new rooms do look good — and in keeping with the style of the building and its clientele. Thanks, Steve.
Thanks, D.J.
If you were an international policy groupie it would be fun to hang out in the cafe and just watch who comes and goes!
Great fun! Thanks, Larissa.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Check Engine light on 2005 Ford Five Hundred
During the past 6 months, I have had parts replaced in this car due to the Check Engine light coming on numerous times. I finally took it in to a Ford dealership and they put it through all kinds of rigorous testing. They called me up (after 4+ hours of tests) and said they have found an O-ring by the fuel pump that is almost completely worn through and dirty. To replace it (due to labor (they claim)), it will cost me $345. Is this a ripoff or does it cost that much to replace an O-ring by the fule pump?
It probably requires the fuel tank to be dropped and the pump to be removed. I'm guessing it's an evaporative emissions code with a small leak (like a P0457 or something...). Keep in mind that if this is the case, you could still have issues remaining...even after that repair. Even the best techs and best equipment can't be 100% certain about a small evap leak. Just sharing so you have point of view no matter what you decide. If this is truly the failure, though, and they nailed it during their testing -- they are indeed worth the price you pay.

What is the conflict between John Proctor and Reverend Parris in The Crucible?
- print Print
- list Cite
3 Answers
Proctor feels that Parris is selfishly abusing the power of his position in Salem. Parris complains that his salary is too small and insists that he be given firewood. Proctor feels that Parris has no regard for God and thinks only of himself and of money.
Early in the play the differences between the men are energetically debated. At one point Parris criticizes Proctor for not attending church. Proctor responds by outlining the various abuses he feels Parris is making through his position as reverend.
He says:
"...the last meeting I were at you spoke so long on deeds and mortgages I thought it was an auction."
Parris then expresses his belief that there is a group setting up against him (Parris) and that Proctor is part of that group. This is not true, but in anger Proctor says that if such a group exists he will join it.
The basic problem Parris has with Proctor stems from Parris' understanding that his position in Salem is not secure. This is a result of his own behavior. He will not admit this much, but is quick to address the issue of his own insecurity in Salem and to defend that position in whatever ways he feels he can. This includes attacking Proctor (a man who openly challenges him) and supporting the witchtrials (to deflect attention from the fact that his daughter was caught dancing naked in the woods at midnight).
Here is a character analysis video:
John doesn't like that Parris seems to care more about money than he does about his parish. John says in the play that he didn't go to church as often as he should because he couldn't stand seeing the golden candle sticks on the alter that Parris preached about until he got them from the parish. Parris doesn't like John because Jonh doesn't hide how he feels about him and he is well liked and respected in town and Parris isn't.
john thinks revrend paris is not genuine and is only interested in his wellbeing.while Reverend Paris is dislikes Proctor for not subjecting to his authority

Stern Greeted With Boos in Indiana
May 13, 9:06 PM (ET)
By MICHAEL MAROT
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - NBA commissioner David Stern wanted to talk about the future Friday. Indiana Pacers fans wouldn't let him forget the past.
Stern was greeted by a chorus of boos in his first trip to Indianapolis since the Nov. 19 brawl in Detroit and the resulting season-long suspension of Pacers forward Ron Artest.
Stern did his best to look ahead - saying before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between Detroit and Indiana that he expected Artest to play next season. The commissioner also expressed disappointment that a new collective bargaining agreement is not yet in place.
"Both sides know what's at stake, and we'll see what happens from here," Stern said. "Obviously, I would have liked to be able to report that we had a deal, but we don't. I'm disappointed that we don't."
The two sides are expected to meet again Tuesday.
Many of the questions for Stern were about Artest, who was suspended for the rest of the season after charging into the stands and fighting with fans in Detroit.
Clearly, there was concern about fan reaction to Stern's appearance.
Sitting three rows from the playing floor and near midcourt, Stern was surrounded by security guards. He was never introduced over the public address system, nor was he shown on the big-screen televisions inside Conseco Fieldhouse.
Still, fans made their thoughts known. When he walked across the court at halftime, there was chorus of boos. When he returned about 15 minutes later, the boos grew even louder.
"I'm sure the crescendo will build, but I assume it will just be about the officiating," Stern joked before the game.
Stern said he never seriously considered reducing Artest's suspension. Instead, he said league officials have met regularly with the league's 2004 defensive player of the year.
In fact, Stern said Artest appeared to be a "very gentle person" in his most recent televised interview.
Artest has now missed 83 games, including the playoffs, and has lost about $5 million in salary.
"I did have to officially say no," Stern said. "The report is, and I believe it firmly, that he is doing everything that we have asked him to do and he's going to be back with us next year."
Stern did appear to agree with Pacers fans on one thing - whether 39-year-old Reggie Miller should return for a 19th season in Indiana. Miller has announced he will retire at the end of the season, although Stern thinks Miller should reconsider.
"He's had a great year, and I'm going to miss him greatly," Stern said. "In addition to everything he does on the court, off the court he's been kind of a role model for other players with respect to the way he carries himself, the way he practices, the way he's professional about the game, and that's very important for this league."

This short post gives an overview of our recent visit to Hollyhock on Cortes Island, as well as a video interview with cook and cookbook author Moreka Jolar. You'll also find a 15% discount coupon code for the July 10-August 1, 2013 period for this best-selling cookbook.
Our visit
One Hollyhock regular summarized the Hollyhock experience as, "Garden, food, big ideas." That's Hollyhock. It sits on a warm, south facing beach (and yes, we had a beach front cabin). It plays host to remarkable people from all over North America who are leading and teaching about inspiring change movements – using all kinds of media: music, social investing, internet activism, food, and much more.
I've been coming almost annually since a tweet from Joel Solomon about the Media that Matters conference in 2009 brought me there. That experience changed my life. More recently I've come to enjoy other other fruits at this Discovery Island paradise: the garden, the kitchen.
I'll be posting my interview with Nori Fletcher, the "god mother of the garden," later this month. My focus on this trip was the new Hollyhock cookbook. Like the first cookbook to come out of the Hollyhock kitchen, it's a BC best-seller. Like the first book, it's an inspiration to vegetarian cookery. But this new book, as Moreka explains in our conversation, is more about local, about what's available in season. And the flavours…. As I say in the interview, the recipe for the quinoa chocolate cake is alone worth having the book in my kitchen!
Discount for the cookbook
Starting July 10 through August 1, 2013 readers get a 15% discount on all books from New Society Publishers, including the new Hollyhock cookbook via this link. At the checkout use this code: EAT&DRINK
Cook with our cookbook authors, Moreka Jolar and Heidi Scheifley, Oct 18-23, on Cortes Island. More info here.

"Dedicated to Rebuilding Lives Torn Apart
By War, Poverty, and Disaster"
"Dedicated to Rebuilding Lives Torn Apart
By War, Poverty, and Disaster"
Letter from
Click here
Year III, Edition No. 14
January/February , 1999
(Front Page)
On December 29, 1998 Rosario
Saavedra-Roman and Janet Ray Weininger, two Miami activists received a check in the
amount of $25,125 as donation for medicines to provide
relief to hurricane victims in Central America. The ceremony
was held in the Rotunda of the Jefferson County Courthouse
in Louisville, Kentucky. The fund is the product of a
community-wide grass roots effort of the people of
Louisville, spearheaded by businessmen and philanthropists.
The cash award will meet the needs of 12,000 people for one
year. The two humanitarians were also conferred
proclamations recognizing them as "Honorary Citizens of
Jefferson County".
Rosario Saavedra-Roman had been visiting friends in
Louisville during the Thanksgiving holiday an she had shared
with them her concern for the needs of Nicaraguans who had
been affected by Hurricane Mitch. Her friends told her of
the relief campaign that had taken place in Louisville and
which had resulted in tons of aid sent to Honduras.
Upon learning that no assistance had gone to Nicaragua,
philanthropist Dennis Dolan became interested in Nicaragua,
and submitted a motion to his Greater Louisville Hurricane
Relief Project committee to include assistance to Nicaragua.
The motion to help Nicaragua was accepted.
Rosario had recently met Janet Ray
Weininger, President
of "Wings of Valor", a not-for-profit humanitarian
organization that has been providing continuous assistance
to the people in the remote village of San Jose de Bocay in
the northern mountains of Nicaragua before and after the
Weininger had visited the northern mountains of Nicaragua
in a five-year mission to recover the remains of two pilots
who died in the service of the United States during the Bay
of Pigs invasion in 1961. The US government joined her in
the recovery mission in the spring of 1998. When it was time
to leave the B-26 crash site located in the remote village
of San Jose de Bocay. Weininger's hear was broken by
grief. She had no valor left. It was time to say good-bye to
those forgotten people who had been so very good to her.
"Siete Mares", her friend and former commander of
the resistance had told her, "all your valor is within
your heart, but now it is time to take the pilots back to
their families". When she boarded the Blackhawk
helicopter, "Siete Mares" last words were:
"We know you will come back to us because we need
you." In fact, she returned to Nicaragua after
Hurricane Mitch with the first plane load of independently
collected humanitarian aid. Delta Airlines cooperated with
her by providing an airplane and giving her the wings to
transport her cargo.
Rosario's and Janet's mutual interest in the needy
Nicaraguan people afflicted by a natural disaster, and the
fact that both are the daughters of military pilots whose
paths had crossed during the Bay of Pigs invasion, led to a
strong bond. They identified with each other and have
embarked in a mission to get this much-needed relief
provided by the good heart of the citizens of Louisville,
Kentucky to those in the mountains of northern Nicaragua. It
was destiny that brought them together. Rosario, and
educational administrator at Miami-Dade Community College
and active in several Miami community organizations had
heard Janet speak about loading mules with medicines on
Thanksgiving Day in order to save lives. She was touched by
Weininger's courage, commitment, and resolute spirit, and
shared the story with friends in Kentucky. Rosario has vowed
to return to her native country for the first time in twenty
years. She and Janet are undoubtedly two courageous women
who love their fellow men and have joined hands to bring
relief which benefits the most needy in Nicaragua.
What started when a Louisville man began planning his
vacation, ended on December 29, 1998 as the second of two
ocean freighters bound for Honduras left Gulfport,
Mississippi, loaded with 20,000 pounds of clothing for
victims of Hurricane Mitch. At the same time, a check for
$25,125 was presented in the rotunda of the Jefferson County
Courthouse in Louisville to Janet Ray Weininger, who resides
in Miami, an who together with Rosario Roman, a Nicaraguan
activist will purchase medical supplies for Nicaraguan
victims of the hurricane. An earlier shipment of 20,000
pounds of clothing had left for Honduras on December 22nd.
In late October, 1998, Louisville attorney Robert Ewald
had began planning his second scuba diving trip to Roatan
Island off the coast of Honduras, just as Hurricane Mitch
had started to pummel Central America. Due to the hurricane,
he got on the internet to check out the weather in Honduras.
He came across some recent messages from the owner of one of
the island's hotels who pleaded for help for the people of
the island. Ewald discussed the on-line outcry with fellow
Rotarian Dennis Doland.
"When Bob told me about what he'd read on the
internet and how he wanted to gather clothing and supplies
to take to Roatan Island. I knew immediately I wanted to
help", said Dolan. I thought that even if we could only
gather a few things, it might make a big difference to some
people who had lost absolutely everything."
In short order, Dolan recruited Goodwill Industries of
Kentucky to serve as a repository for donated clothing.
Kentuckiana Interfaith Community agreed to accept cash
donations designated for hurricane relief. He also contacted
Chiquita Brands in Cincinnati which offered its
Honduran-bound ocean freighters to ship the clothes from the
United States.''
It required hiring a trucking firm to get the clothes,
which were sorted by a group of volunteers, from the central
collection site in Louisville to Gulfport. But through the
generous contributions of the private and community
foundations of the Donors Forum of Metro Louisville,
out-of-pocket expenses associated with the effort were
covered. Therefore, all cash donations for hurricane relief,
totaling $25,125 will be used to purchase medicine for the
storm victims in Nicaragua.
In just over seven weeks, the Louisville community-wide
grass roots effort far surpassed expectations for
collections. It filled with pride all those who participated
in the endeavor, and it shows what can happen when the human
heart connects with creativity for a worthy cause.
As s stated before,
Weininger, well-known in Nicaragua
for her humanitarian work in the mountains, with the
collaboration of a non-profit USAID-funded health services
organization will convert the cash donation into the basic
medical supplies sorely needed in a region afflicted with
numerous epidemic diseases.

Quality Care Through Communication
Improved outcomes and quality of patient care are imperative for the future of healthcare. Clinicians need appropriate, accurate information about drugs and therapeutic options to ensure patient compliance to prescribed treatment regimens. When patients and clinicians are well-informed, the quality of patient care naturally increases.
Despite this, restrictions on the critical information exchange between medical representatives and clinicians is on the rise, causing a deficit in communication that inhibits optimal patient outcomes. To combat this trend, the industry needs to trust in the value of the information shared by medical representatives.
The Need for Standards
Certification and validation of the competency of medical representatives will help ensure that
the vital representative-clinicial relationship is not compromised. Those who achieve certification will have demonstrated mastery of core knowledge and
a commitment to ethics that will help them open the lines of communication and become more valued partners in the delivery of quality care.

India were 350 for five at lunch here on Wednesday after left-arm spinner Paul Harris had Tendulkar caught at slip for 64. Sourav Ganguly was unbeaten on 34.
With the series locked at 1-1 and India seeking to bat South Africa out of the game, Tendulkar started in watchful mode when he resumed on 28 not out.
It took Tendulkar more than an hour to hit his first boundary of the day but in an ominous sign for the South Africans he struck four sweetly-timed fours within 10 deliveries on either side of reaching his second half-century in successive matches.
But then Harris made a ball spin out of the rough outside leg stump and Tendulkar edged it to Jacques Kallis at slip. Tendulkar batted for 187 minutes, faced 130 balls and hit 11 fours.
South Africa, seeking to make good use of the second new ball, were only able to claim one early wicket, when Dale Steyn bowled VVS Laxman for 13 with a fast, straight delivery which uprooted the off stump. The breakthrough came in the eighth over of the morning.
Tendulkar and Ganguly added 68 for the fifth wicket before Tendulkar was dismissed.
Ganguly ducked into a Steyn bouncer before he had scored, requiring treatment on the field, and was dropped on 22 when Shaun Pollock could not hold a diving chance at mid-off, halfway to the boundary, off Harris.
Virender Sehwag came in to bat at number seven and immediately went for his shots, hitting two boundaries off Makhaya Ntini and reaching 12 not out off 13 balls.
He was beaten by a ball from Harris which spun past his bat in the over before lunch.

Attractive chief executives, Yahoo!'s Marissa Mayer is one of them, can help boost a company's share price when they go on television, news reports said.
Economists at the University of Wisconsin have found a positive correlation between a company's share price performance and its chief executive's "facial geometry", the Telegraph reported on its web site.
The study by Joseph Halford and Hung-Chia Hsu, Beauty is Wealth: CEO Appearance and Shareholder Value, used a "facial attractiveness index" to value the appearance of 677 chief executives from the S&P 500, the report said.
Attractive are better paid and can improve share prices "on their first day by creating a good first impression," the report said, adding that such chief executives also "perform better on the negotiating table, and are more likely to land good deals".
Since Ms Mayer, the 38-year-old chief executive of Yahoo!, took charge of the company, its share prices has risen by more than 150pc.
"She scored 8.45 (out of 10) in our facial attractiveness index and is among the top 5pc in our sample," the researchers said in an interview with CNBC.
"Of course, we don't mean that all the increase in stock price is from her appearance. We just find that there might be some positive correlation between the two."

Tina Fey Loves Lindsay Lohan
Emmy winner Tina Fey is not shy about expressing her opinions. She recently did a scathing impression of GOP VP running mate Sarah Palin on SNL.
So when the 30 Rock creator and Hollywood smarty is friendly to someone, she must really like them.
The New York Post reports, Tina and her Mean Girls costar Lindsay Lohan were all bff at NBC's pre-Emmy party at Spago in L.A.
A source told the paper, "Lohan congratulated Tina on her nod and introduced her to Samantha Ronson. They both said they loved her Sarah Palin impersonation."
Sarah Palin liked the impression too. So much so she may be hitting up SNL for a hosting gig.

HUDSON: A crowd of about 700 people filled the bleachers at Hudson Memorial Stadium for the very first time on Thursday.
"I don't know if there's anything not possible in Hudson," said Superintendent Steven Farnsworth.
The ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday marked the completion of the $5.5 million stadium, which was funded by private donations. Construction began in March.
The Tom and Joy Murdough Foundation gave $3 million of that total, and it was at their request that the stadium was named to honor Hudson residents who lost their lives while serving inAmerica's military forces
. The field will bear their name.
The field is ready for the Explorers first scheduled game against Kenston at 7 p.m. on Friday.
"I can't think of another stadium that was built this way," said Farnsworth.
Usually, he says, a district has to put a bond issue on the ballot and voters must approve the funding for such a project.
He pointed out that Scott Malson field at the Middle School was also built from private donations.
In a bad economic time, Farnshworth marveled at the community's accomplishing two such costly projects, without requiring the use of public funds.
Mayor William Currin described it in his speech as "the single largest community philanthropic effort in the City of Hudson."
Farnsworth lavished praise for former head football coach and athletic director, Edward Sogan, who spearheaded the fundraising campaign.
The stadium has seating for 3,000 on the home side, and 2,000 for the visitors. It has state-of-the art turf, and a press box 78-feet-long.
There is a 2,300-square foot building, which houses concessions and restrooms on the home side, and a 1,200-square-foot building on the visitor's side.
At the entrance is a military memorial: five monuments dedicated to Hudson residents who have died in war.
There are also engraved commemorative veteran and active duty service bricks and a 60-foot flag pole.
Currin described the stadium as "proof, we as a community have the ability to be remarkable."
Pre-game activities begin at 5:15 p.m. on Friday, with the Hudson marching band playing music with a military theme.
Visiting members of the military will lead the football team through the tunnel at the start of the football game.
Communications Manager Sheryl Sheatzley invites all active servicemen, servicewomen and reservists, to attend the first game in their uniforms and receive free admission.
Dedication activities will conclude on Saturday with a 5K run/walk to benefit disabled veterans.

Last night, after Frankie told Zach he was going to put him up as a replacement nominee when the veto is used (by Frankie) today, #RenomRule began trending on Twitter. It began quietly with people just asking questions of whether the Nomination rule was broken, then turned into an all out protest of sorts. #RenomRule hit number one first in the United States, then made it to #1 in the world trend. Zach fans and Big Brother fans that just want the show to have some drama and entertainment had flocked and made their voices heard, at least on Twitter. It remains to be seen if the rule actually gets enforced by Big Brother themselves.
However with the trend, I decided to try and dig deeper into the history and meaning of this rule. First, I don't believe this is just a "Re-nom" thing, but applies to all Nominations. A Houseguest is not allowed to specifically state to a nominee that they are going up. They can elude to it, they can skirt around the subject, but they aren't supposed to tell them, or any other Houseguests for that matter, directly. With that said, it has happened plenty of times before. Just this week, with the choosing of the Skittles, Christine was told she was going up with Donny before it happened. Donny was told, Cody and Caleb were told. Some have said that Devin specifically told Paola that she was going up. (I don't remember if he did or didn't specifically, but I do remember her knowing it was happening.) I have included a copy of this "Nomination Rule" below.
These rules are of course VERY general and appear to be rarely enforced. We always hear on the feeds the discussing as to who they are thinking, why they are thinking it etc. I'm sure Big Brother keeps them general for a reason. Whether they choose to enforce them at any given time is entirely up to them.
I have also read the there are rumors that this rule is no longer in place. That is not true. The rule still exists. The way you know it's still in place? Watching the feeds. The majority of the season, we have seen Heads of Household say things like "I am not allowed to specifically say names, but let's say I do put up A and B…" You can see them acknowledge that they aren't supposed to actually say who they are putting up, but again, can skirt around the issue. I'm guessing that the reason Big Brother has this rule in place is to try and keep the "mystery" of who will go up and keep the viewer guessing until the nominations are actually made. Again though has this rule always been followed? No, of course not.
To the question has this rule ever been enforced? Again from what I have read, yes. Back in season 12, Brendon told Britney specifically he was putting her up, told her to "fight" for the veto. Not long later, Brendon was called to the Diary Room. After a long period of blocked out feeds, fans who watch the feeds and the show noticed on the show that conversation was different than what they had seen on the feeds. Britney and Brendon talked instead about her "possibly" going up, but it doesn't come to fruition, he puts up a different person instead. Course, I just read this on the internet and could be untrue in itself, we have no idea unless the previous houseguest wants to, or is allowed to, talk about it.
Has it been enforced other times? We really don't know. Maybe. Big Brother blocks the feeds for a lot of "Production" needs, has houseguests repeat conversations for air, etc. So who's to say? I would think, however, previous houseguests would be able to confirm or deny this aspect and how often this rule has been enforced, unless of course they have a signed agreement with CBS not to discuss it, which of course is not only very possible but more than likely the case.
Will it be enforced now? Would it be fair? Well, I guess that's subjective. To Zach fans, darn right it's fair! To not so much Zach fans, no way. Regardless of what the fans think though, "CBS reserves the right…" You know how it goes. They might enforce it for good TV, they may not. It's entirely up to Big Brother and what they think is best for the game and the ratings. As Zach is very high up on the "liked" meter as far as Houseguests go, it could be a good ratings move and make pretty nice drama on television. It could turn the tides on the mundane house domination by the "Detonators" having Zach stay and someone like Hayden or Nicole come back in. Even Frankie's famous sister (did you know he has a famous sister?) tweeted out #RenomRule last night. Course Frankie's mother and sister believe that Frankie did this on purpose to save Zach all the while having a way out with his alliance in not putting Zach up. I think that's a little far fetched here. But hey Zach fans, having that famous sister in your corner on this rule may not be such a bad thing.
What do you think? Totally unfair? Fair? Unfair but you want it to happen anyway? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

PolluterWatch Memo to Koch PR Team: Ever Consider Making Your Astroturf A Little Less Obvious?
Brendan DeMelle | March 22, 2011
By Brendan DeMelle • Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - 21:39
PolluterWatch is serving up a great tongue-in-cheek "memo to the Koch PR team" tonight, noting the obvious blunders from Koch Industries' astroturfing and attack squad lately. The Kochtopus keeps revealing just how highly coordinated its media and blogger network is, mysteriously generating defensive and offensive pieces in quick succession at the drop of a billionaire's hat.
If it weren't so blatantly obvious in slinging the same mud and honey around the media Koch-o-sphere, perhaps Koch's ever-ready defender squad might be worthy of compensation? Oh wait, New Media Strategies does get paid by Koch to blatantly and disastrously attempt to edit the Koch profile on Wikipedia.
And even if Koch's friends in media claim to rush to the company's defense out of pure ideological zealotry and not for compensation, there are a few instances where that argument fails to impress. As PolluterWatch points out, Koch's PR team recently posted on the company's Facebook page about a piece written by Steven Hayward that seemed to support Koch's anti-science position on climate change and predictably tooted the old Climategate dud.

The Cambridge City School Districts board considered and approved a pair of financial matters Thursday, including the districts 2004 budget.
Both the amended certificate and appropriation ordinance for fiscal year 2004 were presented to the board by Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Bill Wilkinson and passed.
The former is a statement of fund balances and anticipated revenue, and stands at $40,874,469.88. The latter is a listing of anticipated expenditures, and totals $36,173,686.21.
In November 2002, the board approved the amended certificate for the current fiscal year, totaling $52,943,703.04, according to records. Expenditure estimates for 2003 were calculated at $28,097,623.91.
In other action, the annual Continuous Improvement Plan, addressing strategies for improvement in the district, was accepted. The document was previously reviewed by the board.
High school Principal Frank Blake announced that Dec. 17 the first concert was held in the schools auditeria. More than 600 were present in the audience for the instrumental and vocal music program, and room is available for about 100 more.
Work will soon begin, he added, on the placement of photographs of Hall of Fame members and valedictorians along the interior walls of the school.
Bill Howell, assistant high school principal, told the board that several members of the schools Key Club recently took part in the Cambridge Kiwanis Clubs annual holiday party for underprivileged area youth.
Board member Theresa Cochran briefed fellow members on a recent advisory board workshop held at Warren High School. The program is in its inaugural year here, and is considered successful.

You have been creeped out, baffled, and even disgusted by the eight craziest fetishes in our part one article, and now we are back to present part two with eight more! Did your favorite fetish appear on our list yet? We hope it doesn't! Don't forget to check back for our last two articles, parts three and four, with the final top 16 craziest fetishes to ever exist!
Number Twenty-Four: Menophilia. Real men show their women how much they love them every day of the month. Especially if they have menophilia. If you haven't caught on yet, this is an excitement that some men get from women having their period.
Number Twenty-Three: Catheterophilia. Here is another disturbing one for you, how about the sexual thrill of having a catheter piped through your urethra? That doesn't sound fun at all, but that is catheterophilia.
Number Twenty-Two: Hierophilia. If you have experienced sexual fantasies involving deities or religious figures and objects, you might just be into hierophilia. An example of this can be seen in the movie The Exorcist.
Number Twenty-One: Psychrophilia. You have probably never heard of psychrophilia, and you probably won't expect what it actually is. This fetish is characterized by the attraction to people freezing, or sexual attraction to frozen objects.
Number Twenty: Oculolinctus. If you like engaging in oculolinctus, well… there is really no other way to say it. You get a thrill out of getting your eyeball licked. It seems like there might be some hygiene issues there.
Number Nineteen: Avisodomy. Avisodomy is kind of similar to beastiality, only more specific. People with this fetish enjoy sexual actions with birds, and only birds.
Number Eighteen: Mechanophilia or Mechaphilia. People with this fetish, categorized by either mechanophilia or mechaphilia, like to get their sexual kicks from cars or heavy machinery. I bet the possibility of electrocution only adds to the fun.
Number Seventeen: Agalmatophilia. The fetishes we have mentioned so far are anything but normal, but this one is just plain creepy. People who engage in the action of agalmatophilia like to get it on with mannequins and statues.

"I do not know of any one in the United States who writes better prose." W.H. Auden
"Poet of the appetites." John Updike
"Because The Gastronomical Me is autobiographical, following Mrs. Fisher from childhood to widowhood in different countries, we are able to see its food not only as a matter of personal taste, but as a perpetual emotional and social force within a life. Here are meals as seductions, educations, diplomacies, communions. Unique among the classics of gastronomic writing, with its glamorous but not glamorized settings, its wartime drama and its powerful love story, The Gastronomical Me is a book about adult loss, survival, and love." Patricia Storace, The New York Review of Books
"She writes about fleeting tastes and feasts vividly, excitingly, sensuously, exquisitely. There is almost a wicked thrill in following her uninhibited track through the glories of the good life." James Beard
"She writes about food as others do about love, but rather better." Clifton Fadiman

After the whopping success of Jism 2, Pooja Bhatt is all geared up to direct two movies back to back and too in the next 18 months: Jism 3 and Cabaret. Yes! She wants to wrap up both the projects by the end of the eighteenth month.
Pooja quirked that she has tasted blood with Jism 2 and would like to continue with her directorial venture.
Pooja is busy with Jism 3, which is still in the scripting and planning stage and they are looking for the casting. Days afore the news was that Mahesh Bhatt is keen on casting Nathalia Kaur after seeing her pics and work, and Pooja additionally confirms that she will take further her father's vision. Also there is a room for another hottie in the cine, any actress fitting the shoe is not yet thought of or finalized.
The other flick that is lined up is Cabaret, that too is the nascent stage with no bound drafted script, only the central idea is expressed. Pooja is in search of an ideal woman for the character of the lead of Cabaret, she wants a girl who has the finesse in her dancing skills and at the same time is excellent in the acting department.She is looking for Helen's grace and Smita Patil's intensity. Deadly combo!
Pooja's priority is Jism 3, but at the same time she wishes to wrap up with Cabaret. The movies hence would go hand in hand whilst the scripting process and even in the directorial arena. Pooja is keen on wrapping up the casting in the next few months.
Pooja has been keeping in the news for her ideation of auctioning Jism2 wardrobe, special mention to Sunny Leone's lingerie, for PETA's homeless dog adoption campaign

My twin girls are five now. We adopted them at age 5 months. It has been an adventure. I have 6 other children, so I am not new to raising children. I am wondering if their behavior is something more than just "twin dynamics." Things are definitely different with twins than with singletons -- they play off of each other, etc. I understand that. I thought by this age I would be able to expect decent impulse control, but things really don't seem to be improving much. A little, but not much. I still have to lock things away, put them way out of reach, etc...just things like pens, pencils, markers....I have to always lock my computer screen, keep bedroom doors locked, etc. This is driving me crazy - I've never had to do this with my children. In case you'd like to advise keeping things out and available to them -- not locking doors and cupboards - to "empower" them and encourage development of self control, self esteem, etc. - I"ve tried that. It is a nightmare. They see things and they take them and usually misuse or ruin them. Coloring turns in to a free for all in very little time. They "seem" to understand when I talk with them about what they should and shouldn't do, what is kind and thoughtful and what isn't. After they destroy something (such as the gingerbread nativity that I just made, or tearing pages out of a book, etc.) I ask why they did it. The answer is "because we wanted to." I'm not sure where to go or what to do to figure out what is going on. I'm thinking this is more than just "twin" behavior. Any suggestions?
I think your gut is telling you something more than a twin issue is going on and I agree. My 5-year-old dd has been safe with markers since she was 2. And she would never just destroy something. Like with your previous children, I've never locked things up. And my twin boys who are 9 now were never destroyers either. Active, yes, but destroyers, no. And I didn't lock anything with them except the toilet (and I have no idea if that would have been an issue-- I did it before it was an issue and it never became one). I would start by talking to their ped about developmental milestones. Do you think they're on target for other milestones? Are they in pre-k or k? What do their teachers say? How about looking up a checklist for ADHD or ADD? Were the twins premies? Premies are much more likely to have ADHD.
It sounds frustrating, especially when compared to your other children. But I'm sure the sooner you deal with the issue and get some insight, the more quickly you'll be able to find some relief.
Good luck!
I also think it's worth following up on your gut feel & seeking an evaluation of your twins. My twins were crazy, destroyers who did things my singleton has never done and I'd be shocked if he did them, but by 5 they were much, much better. By 4 even. It sounds like more than twin dynamic to me.
I agree with pp. It is sounds way more than a "twin thing" Mine are what I call the destructive duo and for a long time we couldn't go to other people's houses (even neighbours) without me keeping a hawk like watch on them and that wasn't fun for me, so we landed up hosting a lot of playdates because of it. Books have been destroyed, pages patched back together, there is wrtting all over the walls and we had gates everywhere.
Now at 4, things have calmed down a little bit. D has completely outgrown it except for the occasional Picasso on the wall which is why they are only allowed to use crayons/felts supervised. R is still there a little bit, but he has at least curbed his destructive behaviour to his own things. Artwork coming home from school has to be put on a high shelf if I want it to last until DH comes home.
I suggest you absolutely follow your instincts and have them assessed. When I worked in the field of special ed I worked closely with the behavioural psychologist and this sounds like something that she would deal with.
Good luck, keep us posted!

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Working in health care does give us the advantage of knowing 'too much'. But that's okay for you to wonder about this new sensation that you are having because you've not felt it before. It does not sound like something serious as it could be related to nerve endings being stimulated. Although I think I know the feeling that you are referring to. It is not a symptom that is particular to a blocked carotid artery, however you can confirm this by visiting your doctor. Be sure that your blood pressure is being maintained at normal level, while taking the toprol. At this time, with no other symptoms, I can advise an exam by your doc to relieve your concerns, or you can wait another week to see if this feeling stops on it's own, just as it started.

Dicker family in Ireland
My grandfather was Gerald Dicker born in 1900 in Dublin but I have no information on his father Michael Dicker. Does anyone have any information on the emigration of Dicker's to Ireland in the 19th century (from the UK possibly)? All (or nearly all) Dicker's living in Ireland now are descendents of Michael Dicker.
