Tale of Two Bushes
20, 2004
By Scott C. Smith
I'm still fascinated by the very different responses to Bush's
April 13 press conference by liberals and conservatives. Many
a conservative pundit praised Bush; on the Hannity and Colmes
show that aired immediately following the press conference,
Sean Hannity proclaimed, "
I thought the president was articulate,
poised and laid out the case of why this (the war in Iraq)
was necessary."
Let's take a look at that word, articulate. Here's how Webster's
Dictionary defines articulate:
1. Endowed with the power of speech.
2. Composed of distinct, meaningful syllables or words, as
human speech.
3. Expressing oneself easily in clear and effective language:
an articulate speaker.
I'm sorry, but in the press conference I watched, Bush was
the opposite of articulate. In fact, the following antonyms
are more descriptive of the press conference I viewed: bumbling,
inarticulate, misrepresent, misspeak, mumble.
For instance, in the "misspeak" category, we have Bush calling
Donald Rumsfeld "Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld."
So, how is it that conservatives seemingly watched a completely
different press conference? One answer is that so many conservatives
are so blinded by their slobbering devotion to the president
that they "overlook" those elements of the press conference
that reveal Bush to not be up to snuff in the difficult task
of public speaking. To one reporter that wondered if Bush
thought he had communicated his message clearly to America,
Bush said, "I hope today you've got a sense of my conviction
about what we're doing. If you don't, maybe I need to learn
to communicate better."
Yes! That's it! He does need to learn to communicate better.
I think Bush could make a tape recording of himself snoring
loudly, play it back for conservatives, and have the conservatives
remark about how "articulate and on message" the president
was in his snoring.
I'm a former military journalist (I served my country; Sean
Hannity did not. That's an important distinction). Although
my training was mainly in print journalism, I did take some
classes in broadcast journalism, and let me tell you, one
of the worst things to happen during a television broadcast
is dead air. Dead air is silence. A few seconds of dead air
can cost a television station or network viewers; they'll
simply switch channels. That's why the debate format seen
in shows like The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity and Colmes is
so popular, especially with television producers: there never
is any dead air. Indeed, it is very common to have the guests,
and the hosts, talking over each other. Someone is always
saying something, and people stay tuned to see what line of
bull will come out of Hannity's mouth next.
Based on that criteria - the ability to speak a seemingly
endless stream of inanity - Hannity is the most successful
broadcaster working today.
Perhaps the most painful moment of the press conference
was when a reporter asked Bush about mistakes Bush thought
he had made (the reporter brought up the story Bush liked
to tell of how his one big mistake in life was trading away
Sammy Sosa when Bush was an owner of the Texas Rangers baseball
team), and what he had learned from them. That question really
stumped Bush. As the gears in his brain slowly started to
turn, the dead air became deafening. Finally, Bush answered,
I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of
time so I could plan for it. Very poised, right Sean?
Bush continued, "John (the reporter), I'm sure historians
will look back and say, gosh, he could've done it better this
way or that. You know, I just - I'm sure something will pop
into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with
all the pressure of trying to come up with answer (sic), but
it hadn't yet." Frankly, if Bush buckles under this kind of
pressure, I don't think he's the right man for the job of
President of the United States.
I think Al Franken's assessment of conservatives holds true
in this circumstance. Franken says conservatives love America
like a child does; so, in the eyes of the child, the parent
can do no wrong. To Bush's supporters, it's easy to ignore
each instance of "uhm" or the periods of dead air during a
press conference. They'll simply see their man delivering
a powerful message to America.

LOS ALAMITOS - By the time Los Alamitos High's girls basketball team finally got the ball to freshman post Neah Odom on a regular basis, the damage had been done.
Visiting Edison, sparked by senior point guard Geena Gomez, bolted to a 10-point, first-quarter lead and never was seriously threatened the rest of the way. Each team entered the game unbeaten in Sunset League play, but Los Al fell to 1-1 in league after its 53-42 loss to the Chargers.
"We're not a team that's accustomed to playing catch up," said Los Alamitos coach Matt Sargeant, whose team is ranked No. 10 in the latest CIF-SS Division I-AA poll. "This game was lost in the first 10 minutes. (Edison) controlled the tempo and forced us to do things we didn't want to do."
That included shooting 3-point shots, although the Griffins (13-5 overall) did have some long-range success early. Sophomore guard Bayley Hagino sank two 3-pointers in the first quarter, and freshman guard Dani Iwami came off the bench to score nine second-quarter points, including two more 3-pointers.
Edison (9-5, 2-0) built its lead to 30-13 late in the second quarter on a Justine Modde basket, but Odom scored off an offensive rebound with 1:55 left in the half and Iwami scored the final five points to cut Los Al's halftime deficit to 30-20.
Each time the Griffins closed the gap, however, the Chargers managed to build it back up. Gomez and Modde paced an 8-1 run after Los Alamitos had pulled within 10 (22-12), and Gomez extended Edison's lead to 35-20 early in the third with a 3-pointer, a steal and layup.
A 3-pointer by Erika Nilsen brought the Griffins within 12 in the third before Gomez scored again. In the fourth, an Odom free throw cut the lead to 48-37 with 6:48 remaining, but Gomez sank a 3-pointer - the last of her game-high 27 points - on the next possession to quell any thoughts of a comeback.
"We did a little better job on her in the second half," said Sargeant, "but she was the reason we couldn't make (a 10-point deficit) become seven become four."
Odom, a skilled 6-foot post player, finished with 17 points, including 11 in the third quarter. She scored back-to-back baskets early in the third - one on a nice assist from Kate McCutcheon - and converted a conventional three-point play with 1:07 left. Odom also had eight rebounds, three steals and a block. Iwami added nine points and played good defense on Gomez in the second half.
Los Al's four seniors, however, combined for just two points, one rebound and one steal.
"Both our freshmen stepped up big," said Sargeant. "I wish the upper classmen did the same."
Gomez, who has signed with St. Joseph University in Philadelphia, also had six steals, six assists and four steals.

Politics is full of throwaway lines, terms used by commentators without any explanation or analysis. One of them is the notion of a political honeymoon.
That new leaders can receive a honeymoon says something about the attention span of modern society. As life's pace has accelerated, as younger generations have embraced a culture of instant gratification, new things grow old fast.
To sell papers and achieve ratings, the media need to feed the public's demand for newness. This is why so much commentary is about the need for "fresh leadership" and "fresh policies". Even though
Recent opinion polls, however, have shown that Abbott's honeymoon lasted only a few months. His net approval rating (satisfaction with his performance minus dissatisfaction) is stuck in single digits and the buzz of excitement around him has fizzled out. He has entered that horrible period for an opposition leader when the electorate closely associates him with a stream of negativity – his constant criticism of the government.
By nature, Abbott is not a positive person. For all his verbiage and volume of books and newspaper columns, he has never developed or promoted innovative ideas in Australian public life. In every respect, he is that most unlovely and downcast of political figures: the carping conservative.
The other interesting aspect of Abbott's (limited) honeymoon has been the media's treatment of his exercise regime.
In the quest for freshness, there is an obsessive focus on the politics of difference: the things about a leader's personality that offer the media novelty value – new selling points for the tabloids.
For Abbott, it has been the imagery of his budgie-smugglers and the relentlessness of his fitness program. In a nation weighed down, literally, by the health problems of obesity, daily exercise by a public figure such as the Opposition Leader should be applauded as a wonderful demonstration effect for the rest of the country. Yet incredibly, there is now substantial criticism of Abbott's exercise habits.
These personal novelties in the media tend to pass through five stages, what might be thought of as a cycle of celebrity.
The first is media fascination about the point of difference.
Stage two is admiration. Abbott experienced this earlier in the year as commentators marvelled at how someone of his age could be so fit.
The third stage is puzzlement, as people start to question the motivation for being different. Why isn't Abbott a sedentary man sitting on the couch, scoffing down junk food like the rest of society? What are the demons that drive him to compete in triathlons and ocean swims? Stage four is consternation, as the media's initial praise turns to the quiet grumbles of discontent.
Finally, there is condemnation, as the commentators find a reason for outright criticism.
In Abbott's case, it is the absurd notion that his fitness regime leaves him with inadequate time in which to fulfil his duties as Opposition Leader. Even though medical studies have shown that fit people are more productive at work and better at coping with the stress of a busy job, this criticism has become the conventional wisdom of the Canberra press gallery.
The celebrity cycle allows the media to milk the maximum amount of "news" coverage from a sideshow issue, twisting the same piece of trivia five different ways. How else can they find enough content to fill the magazine programs that are now broadcast around the clock?
In today's politics, the end of the celebrity cycle usually corresponds with the end of a leader's honeymoon period. Some have said Abbott's honeymoon ended with his unilateral policy announcement on parental leave and then his poor display in the health debate against the Prime Minister. These things did not help, but I think the decisive turning point was the shift in the media's treatment of his exercise habits.
Abbott made a mistake when he encouraged journalists to cover this side of his life. He thought he was showing the public he was a "real" person, but instead, through the prism of voyeuristic and fickle reporting, he is being portrayed as a freak, a hybrid cross between

text: One of the main downsides of riding a motorcycle, aside from the vast overflow of "cool" points that you have to deal with for being so awesome, is that you just don't have the carrying capacity of other motor vehicles. With motorcycle side cases, you have the ability to fix that. With a ton of options to choose from, finding a set of motorcycle side cases to go with your bike (and capacity needs), is a fairly time-consuming experience. As with any add-on part, however, it is extremely important to pay attention to fitments and overall specs when searching through side cases for your motorcycle. Depending on where you intend to go, what you intend to do, and the things you intend to carry, motorcycle side cases can help you do more on two wheels.

Syria: Protest singer Ibrahim Kashoush had his throat cut
Protest singer Ibrahim Kashoush had his throat cut
|"One of many grim videos to emerge from the Syrian city of Hama purported to show the body of protester Ibrahim Kashoush after his throat had been cut by the security forces," reported the British newspaper The Guardian on 5 July 2011 at 4:41 PM.
The slogans that the demonstrating crowds in Hama have repeated again and again are from a song which was composed by the locally based folk singer Ibrahim Kashoush (also spelled: Khashoch, Qashosh or Qashoush) — a folklore singer who chanted traditional Aradah tunes as protest songs, adding new lyrics he wrote himself to the old wedding and celebration melodies.
On an evening in late June 2011, Ibrahim's voice had soared over the crowds on the main square of the city centre of Hama, leading a chorus of thousands of demonstrators singing "Bashar, depart from here". On Friday 1 July 2011 an even bigger demonstration gathered an estimated 250,000 of the city's population on the same square.
Four days later, his body was found dumped in the Assi River (also spelled: Isa River), with a big, open and bloody wound in his neck where his adam's apple and voice chord had been removed. A clear message to those who dare to raise their voice against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Here is an example of Ibrahim Kashoush's lyrics which gave him hero-status as 'The Singer of the revolution':
You lost all your legitimacy
Depart depart, Bashar
Bashar, you are not one of us
Take Mahir (Basher's brother) and depart from here
Depart depart, Bashar
Bashar, you are lying
You had bad speech
Freedom is very near
Depart depart, Bashar
The lyrics are from Ibrahim Kashoush's song 'Yalla Erhal Ya Bashar' (It's time to leave, Bashar), demanding an end to President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The song gained popularity in June and July 2011 as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Hama to protest against the violent crackdowns on civilians in the country. News sites claim that at least 13 people were killed and another 67 were injured during protests in Hama on 5 July 2011.

Vietnam an assault on the senses.....
Motorbikes, Mekong and beaches.....
26.01.2013 - 12.02.2013
View vietnam on Alight77inNam's travel map.
Well I arrived in sunny Vietnam on 26th January.....all bleary eyed and exhausted. I was amazed that I had actually got here.
I arrived at my hostel (Saigon backpackers) nice place fairly new, helpful staff and very central to the backpackers area Pham Ngu Lao.
After some sleep I awoke the next day eager to start my new adventure in Saigon city...wow motorbikes whizzing past and horns constantly being blasted this combined with mental heat and the smells of Pho(noodle soup) and hundred's of people running about....its intoxicating.
I found myself once again thrown into life in Asia and I love it!!!!!
After few days of settling in and taking in local sights such as, The War remnant's museum and The old post office and Notre Dame Cathedral...various markets, I decided to book a two day Mekong Delta trip. I had met a friend Lisa in the hostel and we decided to go together.
The Mekong was really good Can Tao- Ving Long...various floating markets and rice paper factories also rice noodle factories and all the fruit you can eat from the local people selling on the Mekong.
I arrived back from the Mekong armed with lots of amazing pictures eager to post on Facebook to show people back home, but my excitement was short lived...for people who are familiar with my past blogs the reason I am in Vietnam is to start an internship in HCMC teaching English for 6 months. Well once I had logged on to Facebook my world came crashing down......the internship had been cancelled!!!! I felt completely lost.
There were so many questions I asked myself...Why had it happened? What was I going to do? Should I go home? it was a nightmare.
After the initial shock of the news I decided I may as well have a holiday whilst I was out here, after all I have the visa and I am here now.
I spent 2 weeks in Saigon just getting use to the heat and time differences etc...my ankles had swollen due to heat and I found it painful to walk at times...I hung around contemplating life and things I had been dealing with back home still wondering what to do with my time here.
Finally amongst all the madness of TET watching the locals decorating in preparation for their New year celebrations I decided I needed some beach time. I booked a flight to Phu Quoc island...at least then I could relax on the beach away from all the noise of the horns and mental preparations of TET.
I arrived by internal flight with Mekong airlines, good and cheap!! around 50 pounds a flight...found a good hotel set in a nice garden its called (The Lounge) I booked myself a week there whilst I decided where to go next...I had arranged to meet my friend Clare at the hotel as she was cycling here and I flew( lol) We took a motorbike out for the day and seen some local sights etc...very good day found some secluded beaches and some temples etc...off the tourist map lol.
As it stands im still in Phu Quoc..and am looking at flights back to Saigon to plan my next move.

Teenage Lourdes Leon Caught Smoking! Is She Old Enough to Make Her Own Decisions? (POLL)
Lourdes Leon is creating a controversy with her latest statement. The teenage designer was snapped smoking a cigarette — which helps create that edgy image, right? Such a rebel!She's known for making bold fashion choices, but 15-year-old
Many are outraged that an underage girl could get access to a product clearly intended — by law — for those 18 and over.
While we all know there are health risks to smoking, so too are there risks with eating large amounts of sugar, for example, as well as many other perfectly legal activities. While she's shy of being a full-fledged adult, Lourdes is calling the shots when it comes to her Material Girl collection; if she can run a fashion house, is she old enough to make her own decision when it comes to smoking?

Bucks coach Drew has history developing big men
John Henson ducked under a couple television cameras, angling his 6-foot, 11-inch frame in an effort to not block the view of his new head coach, Larry Drew, who was seated a table a few feet away.
The second-year pro took some time out of his Monday morning to attend Drew's introductory press conference, and he – along with fourth-year center Larry Sanders – were worth discussing immediately.
"This team has some really good young talent, young talent that I'm excited about developing," Drew said without prompting less than six minutes into his press conference.
"I think these big guys are guys that are going to be a big part of the future. I think the development is going to be very important but you can't teach height and you can't teach length. These guys, John, Larry Sanders, these guys are two guys who can really affect the game and I'm very excited about the chance to work with both guys."
It's no wonder he immediately focused on the two athletic big men as he begins his career in Milwaukee. Drew is coming off three straight playoff seasons as the Atlanta Hawks head coach and six straight overall as a member of the Hawks coaching staff, seasons built around the development of 6-10 center Al Horford and 6-9 power forward Josh Smith.
Drew was also on staff to oversee the maturation of 6-9 forward Marvin Williams in Atlanta, who averaged less than nine points a game as a rookie in 2005-06 to become a consistent double-digit point producer.
Another big man who blossomed with the Hawks during Drew's tenure was Al Harrington, who broke out with a 17.5 point, 7.0 rebound season in 2004-05 and followed that up with an 18.6 point, 6.9 rebound season in 2005-06.
"The development they showed with those guys is something hopefully we can do," Henson said.
Despite being a guard during his 10-year NBA career, Drew has been coaching since 1992 and has been on the staffs of several franchises that featured some of the game's premier big men.
He first played with, and then coached, Vlade Divac in Los Angeles with the Lakers. And, he was there upon the arrival of a 24-year-old Shaquille O'Neal in 1996. Robert Horry was also on some of those Lakers teams, giving Drew first-hand experience in managing players 6-9 or taller that had a variety of offensive and defensive sets.
Perhaps an underrated part of the bigs Drew has coached over the years, including O'Neal, Smith, Kenyon Martin and Jason Collins is how good they could be defensively.
It's an attribute already built in with Sanders (201 blocks), Ekpe Udoh (85) and Henson (42).
Despite the shot-blocking ability, the Bucks don't have a "traditional" big on the roster a la O'Neal and Horford, but there is quickness and athleticism to work with.
And, as one Eastern Conference scout told OnMilwaukee.com late last regular season, Sanders could be as "good as he wants to be" especially if he continues to work on a mid-range jump shot that, at times, was an effective weapon.
"The challenge will be, like any other challenge when you're talking about young players, is certainly you want to develop their skills and certainly make them better," Drew said. "We'll be doing a lot of things from within, within my system, the way I play, and I really see John, I really see Larry, I really see Ersan, I see those guys being a perfect fit. I think it's important for a coach to look at a young man's talent and play to his strengths and we will develop what we believe are their weaknesses."
If the last 21 years is any indication, the Bucks big men are in for an education from their new coach.
"After playing these guys, I know what they're capable of," Drew said. "Giving them a different style, giving them something I feel is going to benefit (Henson and Sanders) and all the guys who are under contract, I see it being a real big plus."

After losing the 2004 Iowa caucuses, Dean let out a rebel yell designed to fire up his supporters.
Excerpted from rebel yell: The Violence, Passion, and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson by S.C. Gwynne.
The shout was answered by the shrill "rebel yell" from the dauntless foe in the trenches.
He had heard of the famous "rebel yell," but this was the first time he had heard it.
The Confederate infantry charged the breastworks, the rebel yell being heard above the terrible din of battle.
Could you, would you, give me some idea of 'the rebel yell,' as it was called?
The moment of silence that followed was broken by the high, shrill, quavering, penetrating note of the rebel yell.
Then, borne on the wind, came a sound that he would know till his dying day—the rebel yell.
But the Southern troops, the rebel yell still rolling through the woods, came on at full speed and struck the Union front.
Uttering the rebel yell, the Southerners followed and pushed them further and further.

Special Seminar - A quantum computational perspective on quantum physics - Dorit Aharonov, Hebrew University
Quantum computation has taught us that quantum many body systems can be viewed from a computational perspective. This approach to studying quantum systems turns out to lead to a remarkably rich set of insights, ideas and directions to explore. I will try to give a taste of the main achievements in this vibrant fast growing area over the past decade.

TONY BLAIR, in his interview with The Daily Telegraph this week, said that he had been reading the bit of the Old Testament about Jehu and "the slaughter of many people in the name of the Lord". He was making a point that texts from the Bible or the Koran can be used to justify wicked behaviour. He also suggested that the Koran was recited (he was careful to use that word, rather than "written", out of respect for Muslim tradition) in a historical period with very different conventions from our own, just like Old Testament times.
The story of Jehu is certainly a memorable one. It is told in chapter nine of the Second Book of the Kings (sometimes known confusingly as the Fourth Book). Elisha sends a young prophet to anoint Jehu as king "in the Lord's name". The young prophet goes and pours oil over Jehu's head and announces: "Thou shalt smite the house of Ahab." Ahab was the wicked father of the reigning king of Israel, Joram. Moreover, "the dogs shall eat Jezebel", Ahab's wicked wife, "and there shall be none to bury her".
An interesting point is that the young prophet, having made this alarming announcement in the name of the Lord, "opened the door and fled", as the Bible puts it. It was the way of prophets in the Bible to proclaim prophecy under divine compulsion, fully aware that they risked death or punishment, the fate of many of their predecessors.
Jehu is recognised as king by the "servants of the Lord" and drives off in his chariot to deal with Joram. Joram's watchman sees him coming and recognises him by his furious driving. (In the 19th century, when everyone knew the Bible, the name Jehu was often used in tired jocularity for a fast driver of a coach or hansom cab.) Joram is shot through with an arrow; Ahaziah, king of Judah, is smitten mortally; Jezebel is thrown from a window by eunuchs. After eating and drinking, Jehu directs that she be buried, but "they found no more than her skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands". The dogs had eaten her.
The reader is meant to remember (from the First Book of the Kings) that Ahab had stolen the vineyard of Naboth through a plot hatched by Jezebel to bring false witnesses against Naboth and have him stoned to death. Moreover, Ahab was an idolater. Ahab put on sackcloth when Elijah the prophet bravely denounced his crime, after which God allowed him to die in battle. But retribution caught up with the impenitent Jezebel in the reign of her son, who, it is noted, worshipped Baal. Afterwards, Jehu, having developed a taste for it, goes in for a good deal more smiting of the sons of Ahab and the worshippers of Baal.
What kind of reading of the Bible would make anyone think he should emulate Jehu by killing wicked kings and idolaters? Not a literal reading, for that proposes no more than that this is ancient history. An emulator would have to think he was God's anointed scourge. And such a supposition would come from some other source than the Bible.

Talk to us about diabetes
0345 123 2399
Talk to someone about diabetes
My name is Ellie, and a few months ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. It's been hard coping with such a big change so quickly, but I'm slowly getting to grips with it.
It started in year seven, although I wasn't diagnosed until year eight. Every morning I would wake up and, to me, it would feel like the middle of the night. I would try to stand up but my head would start spinning and I would fall back onto my bed. I just thought I was lazy, and I wasn't getting enough sleep. That's what everyone around me was saying. But gradually it got worse, to the point when I started being late for school because I physically could not get up. My energy levels stayed low throughout the day too, and by the time the bell rang for home time, I could barely walk I was so tired.
At the same time, I started eating more often, but not healthy things like fruit or bread, things which my body knew were direct sources of sugar. Sweets, chocolate bars and crisps became a major part of my diet. As I got more tired, I got more hungry, but actually I wasn't putting on any weight. In fact, I lost weight over those months, and none of my friends could understand why.
Slowly, it was getting out of hand; I started buying 2,3,4 bags of sweets in the mornings and eating them during lessons and throughout the school day. I didn't tell anyone, and tried to stop but my body wouldn't let me. It was trying to tell me that it needed sugar, it needed glucose for energy because none of the sugar I was consuming was getting to my cells.
I started hating myself. Why was I so greedy, why was I so lazy? I hardly did any exercise because I had so little energy, and I stopped caring about everyday things like doing homework and practicing the piano. I convinced myself I was an awful person, and I didn't know what to do.
At the back of my mind, I think I knew something was wrong. After watching a programme on T.V, I thought I had mild narcolepsy because of my lack of energy, persistent hunger and constant tiredness. But when I told this to my parents, they just laughed and told me I was growing and therefore needed more sleep and more food. It was only what happened next that rang alarm bells for my mum.
It was February 2012 and I was struggling to cope with school work as usual. But one day, I came home from school and a sudden thirst came over me. I ran to the sink and started drinking. After eight cups of water I rushed to the fridge and grabbed a carton of orange juice. I downed the whole let, yet I was still desperately thirsty.
That night I was up every five minutes getting a drink of water or going to the loo, and finally I dozed off at about 11.50. When I woke up I switched on my light because I could hear my mum was up, and thought it was the morning. I was still thirsty so I went upstairs to the bathroom to get a drink before I got dressed. I bumped into my mum who looked surprised and said, "What are you doing up?" I told her I was getting a drink before going to get ready for school. She gave me a puzzled look and told me, "It's the middle of the night!" and showed me a clock. I was thankful I could get some more sleep before school in the morning, but my mum knew something was wrong.
The next morning I was still extremely thirsty, and after school finished I was surprised to see my mum waiting for me to take me to the GP. As soon as we arrived, I did a urine sample and the doctor told me everything was fine and that I should go home and take it easy. Both me and my mum were confused, as we were positive there was something wrong.
We decided to go to the local supermarket to buy something nice for dinner, but no sooner had we left the surgery than my mum received a call from them. "We're afraid we didn't wait long enough for the test results. It appears you need to come back, our tests show that there is lots of sugar in the urine."
From that moment on, everything happened so quickly I can barely remember what happened when. I was rushed to hospital and various blood tests were carried out. A canula was put in my arm in case they needed to give me fluids quickly, and there was a lot of hanging around before we saw a doctor. She told me I was definitely going to be staying overnight, and that the other tests also showed very high sugar levels. After I'd been moved in to the ward, a doctor came and saw me. She told me that I had Type 1 diabetes, and that it was likely I would be in hospital for some time.
At first I wasn't really upset about the fact that I had it: I just kept telling myself that there were lots of other 13-year-olds with much worse problems than me, and I should be thankful I wasn't one of them. But when I realised what it meant, that I would have to plan everything I ate, inject whenever I ate and that I had a life-threatening condition that was incurable, I found it all too much to take in. With the help of my friends and family, and the amazing team at the hospital, I'm managing okay, despite finding it hard to control what I eat and remember injections/blood tests.
I hope that everyone else who has diabetes has the amount of support that I do, and any advice would be much appreciated xxx
Comment on this
Thanks for the nice comments, i don't really know anyone else my age with it either. i hope your'e managing well, also i was thinking about going on a diabetes camp, have you ever been to one?is it fun?:) – Ellie
hello, i'm beth:) i've had diabetes since i was 7, i'm now 13 and i would also like to talk to someone my own age about having diabetes. i dont really know anyone my own age who has it, a couple of boys in my school do, but we dont hardly talk. be great to talk to someone:) – Beth
Hi! Just wanted to say that you're doing really well and that I'm thirteen too! Got diabetes about three months ago......I hate it! But I know that the cure will be found! We can't give up! – Gina

21 rescued at sea-A A +A
Monday, March 24, 2014
A GROUP of 14 foreigners and seven Filipino crewmen on board a motorboat were rescued by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) close to Friday midnight at Sohoton Point in Cauayan, Negros Occidental.
No one was injured, and they were brought to Iloilo City Saturday morning, said Glen Daraug, commander of PCG-Bacolod Station.
Daraug said one of the boat's outriggers was damaged due to strong waves while they were on their way to Oslob, Cebu, from Antique.
Areas in southern Negros, including Cauayan, were placed under Signal No. 1 Friday afternoon due to Tropical Depression Caloy.
Daraug said the foreigners, which included nine French and two Swiss nationals, a German, a Spaniard and a Mexican, were scuba divers on a diving adventure in various areas across the Visayas.
Along with the Filipino crewmen, they were stranded at the territorial waters of Sohoton Point, about eight nautical miles from Cauayan town proper.
All 21 passengers waited for almost eight hours in rough seas before the Coast Guard found them.
The group's distress call was intercepted by the Bantay Dagat of the neighboring Sipalay City, which then deployed a team to rescue the group. The team, however, were forced to return to shore because of bad sea condition.
Daraug said they contacted an oil tanker, MT Francis Charles, which was on its way to Dipolog and happened to be near Sohoton Point, to assist the stranded foreigners and Filipinos waiting for the Coast Guard to arrive.
They sought assistance from the oil tanker, he said, because it may take some time for the dispatched vessel of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources being manned by the Coast Guard to reach the distressed vessel.
Western Visayas Regional Director Rosario Cabrera of the Office of the Civil Defense said the three foreigners who were the organizers of the diving adventure and seven crew members opted to stay on the boat and safely sail to Sta. Ana Bay, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras with two Coast Guard personnel providing assistance.
Upon their arrival in Iloilo City, the rescued foreign tourists underwent physical check-up.

What is it?
When a person has a headache, the nerves in the scalp, face, mouth, throat, the muscles of the head or the blood vessels found along the surface and at the base of the brain can hurt.
While there are 150 different types of headaches, the two most common types are tension and migraine1.
Tension headaches appear to involve the tightening or tensing of facial and neck muscles.
Migraines occur when the arteries in the head narrow and then dilate. They are caused by changes in brain chemistry.
Common causes of headache include:
Who is affected?
It is estimated that between 40 and 50 million Americans suffer from chronic and/or severe headaches1. More than $400 million is spent on OTC pain relievers each year2.

The English comedian, writer and actor died in his home in London on June 9.
Rik Mayall, one of the pioneers of British alternative comedy in 1980s, died on June 9, at 56. His management announced that Rik passed away in his house in London on Monday, without stating the cause.
The British comedian was born in Essex, England, in 1958 and was famous for his role on "The Young Ones", an anarchic and offbeat comedy about four college students who lived in a battered old house. The sitcom helped alternative comedy shoot to fame in 1980s.
Rik was the part of comedian group, Comic Strip, who had a sketch series on Chanell 4 in the U.K. from 1982 to 1988. The group also included Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Rik's longtime comedy partner, Adrian Edmondson, who also starred with Rik on "The Young Ones".
Adrian recalled his time with Rik after learning of Rik's death, "There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree, stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard."
Previously in 1998, Rik had an accident after riding a quad bike near his house in Devon which caused him to be put into coma. He was sent to the hospital with two haematomas and a fractured skull. At that time, he was told that he could die or had brain damage. He resumed working not long after he gained consciousness until recently.
"The main difference between now and before my accident is I'm just very glad to be alive. Other people get moody in their 40s and 50s-men get the male menopause. I missed the whole thing. I was just really happy," Rik said, being thankful about his life after accident last year.
The winner of Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance in 1997 is survived by his wife, Barbara Robbin, and three children.

Our inquiry
1. In 2008 our predecessor Committee published
a detailed Report on Domestic Violence, Forced Marriage and
"Honour"-Based Violence, which drew attention to
the abusive practice of forced marriage, highlighted its scale
and noted significant weaknesses in the response from Government
and frontline professionals. The Committee made a number of recommendations
for improving action to prevent forced marriage and to support
victims, which were on the whole favourably received by the previous
Government. We decided to investigate how much progress had been
made in implementing these recommendations over the past three
2. To this end, we took oral evidence from Karma
Nirvana, one of the few national organisations dedicated to supporting
victims of forced marriage and campaigning on their behalf, from
a survivor of forced marriage and from the Minister for Equalities,
Lynne Featherstone MP, on 22 March 2011. We received written evidence
from Southall Black Sisters, a London-based organisation working
with black and minority ethnic female victims of violence, Cris
McCurley, a family law practitioner from the North-East of England,
and relevant Government Departments. We also took evidence from
further witnesses on other aspects of our predecessor's Report,
particularly the funding of domestic violence support services,
to which we intend to return later in the Parliament and therefore
do not consider here. We thank all those who contributed to our
Nature and prevalence of forced
3. Forced marriage is "a marriage conducted
without the valid consent of both parties where duress (emotional
pressure in addition to physical abuse) is a factor".[1]
It is not an arranged marriage into which, while families
may be involved in choosing the marriage partner, both parties
probably, on the whole, enter freely; nor is it a religious practice.
While our predecessors observed that forced marriage has historically
been practised in many different communities, they found that
in 2008, due to their relative size within the UK population,
forced marriage was most common amongst Pakistani, Bangladeshi
and Indian communities. At the time of the inquiry the Government's
Forced Marriage Unit handled around 300 cases of forced marriage
each year but it was considered that this was likely to represent
"only the tip of the iceberg."[2]
Subsequent research commissioned by the then-Department for Children,
Schools and Families, at the Committee's behest, estimated that
the national prevalence of reported cases of forced marriage in
England was between 5,000 and 8,000.[3]
4. The number of cases of forced marriage dealt
with by the Forced Marriage Unit rose to 430 in 2008 and remained
at around 400 in 2009 and 2010, with the ratio of male to female
victims also remaining stable over this period at around 86% female
to 14% male.[4] Jasvinder
Sanghera told us that Karma Nirvana had recently become aware
of instances of forced marriage taking place in a broader range
of communities than before, citing cases from Egypt and an increase
in at-risk dual heritage children.[5]
Karma Nirvana reported a rise in callers to their national Honour
Network Helpline since 2008, peaking at 5,599, and in particular
an increase in the number of males reporting; the ratio of callers
is now 70% female to 30% male.[6]
5. The increase in the number of cases handled
by the Forced Marriage Unit and the number of calls made to the
Honour Network Helpline since our predecessor Committee's inquiry
in 2007-08 demonstrates that forced marriage remains a serious
concern, affecting thousands of young people in the UK. The fact
that more young women and, increasingly, young men are coming
forward to seek help is encouraging but underlines the requirement
for sufficient support mechanisms to be in place to meet their

Asura's Wrath gets episode DLC, remaining DLC dated
The first round of DLC for Asura's Wrath has hit PSN and will launch tomorrow on Live Marketplace. Today's release includes Episode 11.5, an anime-inspired downloadable episode that bridges the gap between episodes 11 and 12 of the full game. The pack is going for 160 MS Points/$1.99. Another stylized episode is scheduled to launch next week, on April 3, for the same price.
Good Old Games now GOG.com, offering modern titles
Good Old Games, now known exclusively as GOG.com—well, GOG for us, since we're lazy—has expanded to include newer titles. While the download service offers sister company CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 2, the library will now feature a growing selection of modern releases. To kick things off, GOG has added DRM-free versions of Trine and The Whispered World, as well as a pre-order option for the throwback dungeon crawler Legend of Grimock. Darwinia, Spacechem, and Machinarium will also be available shortly, and over 20 "newer classics," from both big publishers and indies, have already been signed. The newer titles also mean a new price ceiling, with Legend of Grimrock and The Whispered World each breaking the previous $9.99 cap at $14.99. However, the company stresses that they will continue to charge "flat, fair prices everywhere in the world for DRM-free games that come bundled with many extra free goodies."
(Xbox 360 Review) Silent Hill: Downpour
"The shift to a more cerebral fright is welcomed, but the cumbersome combat and striking lack of polish keep Downpour from hitting the high notes of the early years."

"i always imagined Cable in the future running and shooting and taking crazy dive-roles on rocky terrain.... but ive considered it pretty stupid on everyone else. The mans a freaking tank, and it makes sense for him.
and certain armors make sense if you have shoulder mounting accessories or something. or solar panels. Thats healing the world and saving it.
the only other proper use i see is the fear factor. Batman has worn the creepy shoulder spikes from time to time, and you know it works cuz.... well, he's batman.
lol. i have that same Darkhawk issue, and a handful of New Universe comics. wow.
The Giant Boots are (hopefully) never coming back. But i'd love to see more fingerless gloves... and Ray-bans. It always cracked me up when someone showed up to a superhero fight to save the world in $100+ shades. What job do you have that allows you to fight crime and afford expensive glasses that are constantly being broken? "
So much hilarity. Shoulder pads, like many things in the 90's, existed for the sole purpuse of being...EXXXTREME!!!!

Somali pirates - why do they prey on cruising yachts?
by Michael Howorth, AW Yacht Management/Sail-World on 13 Jul 2011
Why pick on cruising sailors when ships should be more lucrative? SW
Why did Somali pirates suddenly start preying on cruising sailors in comparatively small sailing yachts, which could hardly be expected to yield the kind of ransom that a supertanker could? Here is how Maritime risks expert and founder ofCc-level Maritime Risks, a US-based emerging risks consultancy, Michael Frodl explained it when interviewed by Michael Howorth for AW Yacht Management:
When a new somali pirate gang entered the game in 2009 — capturing a retired British couple aboard their 15m sailing yacht off the Seychelles — they made several mistakes that earned swift contempt from seasoned pirates.
They also changed all the rules for ever.
The first rule they broke was in targeting a yacht belonging to two relatively impoverished people rather than a high value vessel belonging to a corporation.
Secondly, they made the mistake of taking the couple off their sailboat and letting the sloop drift away. 'That broke the rule that hostages must be kept aboard their own ships far from shore in order to prevent their towns being caught up in a rescue mission by a foreign navy,' explains Frodl.
The gang were eventually forced to seek out the help of established pirates by asking them to keep the Chandlers
on board a hijacked cargo ship. But they subsequently took the hostages off again after a dispute over how the final
ransom would be shared out.
This incurred the wrath of the clan elders who feared local villagers would be caught up in a shootout between the pirate gangs — and between all of the pirates and Shabaab (Somalia's Al Qaeda affiliate). When the new pirates
were kicked out of town they dragged their hostages deeper inland, spending months moving them around the desert in order to avoid Shabaab gangs looking to grab the hostages.
Meanwhile, the global Somali diaspora became so aghast at the mistreatment of the elderly couple that they put pressure on the gang to release them, even collecting money to have the couple released after the first ransom payment of US$500,000 mysteriously disappeared.
Despite all of this, the young pirate gang held out against all the odds for a year — earning around US$1m for
the release of the couple in late 2010.
'Their success will accelerate the transition to a new generation of Somali pirates,' argues Frodl. 'In fact, they created a brand new pirate business model.'
Escalating yacht piracy:
Since the Chandler incident, two South Africans and nine Danish cruising sailors, including three children, have been, and still are, being held by Somali pirates in Somalia, holding out for ransoms which are far from sure to eventuate. Earlier this year four American cruising sailors were shot dead by pirates, some of whom are now undergoing trials in the USA.

This letter was received by Sail-World Cruising, correcting some of the factual errors in the above:
Message: Hi Nancy,
I'm responding to the account of the Chandler's experience in your latest newsletter. How does the Chandler's 38ft Rival become a 15m boat? Their family paid a ransom of $440,000. Where does your contributor get his figures from? It's true that the Somali gang leader claimed that he would be getting a further $200,000 but that hasn't been confirmed. Lynn Rival ran out of diesel fuel and after being replenished from supplies carried by the pirates the engine started faltering after 5 days and the yacht was abandoned. That was when the Kota Wajar was called in to get them all to the Somalian coast.
Best wishes,
Stuart Bradley
(President of the Cruising Association)

Pirate attack on EU NAVFOR flag ship - suddenly sorry
In the first light pirates were surprised when their target ship fired back - it was the EU NAVFOR flagship ESPS Patino
The fact that it occurred at first light must be the excuse for a skiff full of suspected pirates who opened fire and commenced boarding a target ship this week. What a surprise when the 'target' fired back and launched a helicopter. As the light increased they learned why. Rather than a commercial ship which they could have hijacked, it was the flagship of EU NAVFOR itself, the ESPS Patino.

Chiefs WR Jon Baldwin will be heading into his third year with the team, this time under a whole new coaching staff. And maybe that's exactly what the young receiver needs. Baldwin, who was drafted 26th overall in the 2011 NFL Draft by former GM Scott Pioli has yet to make any kind of impact on this team as a first round pick. At 6'4, 230 pounds out of the University of Pittsburgh, Baldwin was expected to come in as the second wide receiver and counterpart to Pro Bowler Dwayne Bowe. But he has struggled to get himself going as an NFL player and it didn't start out well either. Before his rookie season could even kickoff, Baldwin got into a locker room fight with then KC RB Thomas Jones and suffered a wrist injury that sidelined him for almost half of the 2011 season.
When he returned from his injury, Baldwin actually showed great promise in his first game at Arrowhead Stadium. He would go on to catch his first touchdown pass of his career on Monday Night Football against the San Diego Chargers on a 39 yard pass from QB Matt Cassel. And it was an impressive catch, hauling it in over the coverage and showing some flash of his ability. But since that game in mid 2011, Baldwin has not been able to find production and consistency on the field. In his first two seasons in the league he only has one other touchdown catch and under 600 total yards receiving.
With Baldwin's size as a wideout, his productivity on the field should be a lot better. He came into the league with an attitude and apparently did not like what veteran Thomas Jones had to say about him. But it wasn't surprising to see the immaturity. Now entering his third year, hopefully more mature, and with a new coaching staff, maybe this is what the kid needs to jump start his career. If teams gave out MVP awards in the offseason, Jon Baldwin would have won that award last year. He was a star in practices a year ago, making acrobatic catches and showing what he can do. But once the pads were put on and the season came, Baldwin became invisible.
Now he is having another strong start in spring practices, granted, without pads and just shorts. But he is a player who has tremendous upside and has shown signs in the past of making big plays. While he continues to work hard at his craft, Baldwin knows he's going to have to prove himself to the new staff, especially Andy Reid, if he wants to see lots of playing time. Reid spoke about his wideout at the voluntary minicamp.
"Jon is working hard. He is a unique specimen being as big as he is. He can do some things that other people can't do just by size and strength. It's important he puts himself into the position to do that. He's working hard to do that. He's young. Developing as a receiver in the National Football League takes time in a lot of cases. He needs to continue to work at it. But he sure has a nice skill level."
If Jon Baldwin can find himself this year and become the productive player the Chiefs expected from him as a first round draft choice, it will be a huge boost to this new offense and to this team. But he has to want it first.

SINGAPORE/LIMA, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Singapore-listed LionGold Corp is in advanced discussions to buy small Latin American gold miner IRL , IRL confirmed on Friday.
IRL's shares in Toronto and Lima were temporarily suspended on Friday amid heavy trading and market speculation about a potential acquisition.
"IRL ... confirms that it is in discussions with LionGold Corp Ltd, which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the company," the firm said in a statement.
LionGold was one of three firms whose shares were suspended on the Singapore Exchange earlier on Friday on concerns that the market was not fully informed about their falling share prices.
LionGold said in an earlier statement that a company it was discussing acquiring a stake in - then unnamed - was concerned about its suspended shares in Singapore.
Lima-based IRL has one operating gold mine in Peru and has been seeking financing to develop another, Ollachea. Last week it won environmental approvals from the government for its Ollachea project.
IRL secured financing for its Don Nicolas project in Argentina last month. The company has said it aims to use its new mines to become a mid-tier gold producer with annual output of 150,000 to 200,000 ounces.
Before the suspension in Lima's bourse, IRL's share price had jumped 25 percent, valuing the firm at around $52 million.
IRL is also listed in London and under UK takeover rules, LionGold has until Nov. 1 to either make a firm offer for IRL or walk away.
The company's London-listed shares closed up 30 percent.

Integrating well designed writing assignments into undergraduate courses can increase students' engagement and promote critical thinking. Yet, many instructors shy away from these assignments because of the extra workload required to mark them. During this workshop, we will provide guidelines for creating written assignments that get students thinking without creating piles of grading. We will also share examples from McGill professors in Faculties as diverse as FAES, Science, Arts, Music, Law and Engineering.
You will then have the opportunity to develop a draft assignment for one of your undergraduate courses, and exchange feedback with peers.
