RECIPES: Recipe Details
Pizza Burger
I have seen many variations on mexican-style burgers, but never really saw a more Italian-style burger and I always wanted to try something that combined two of my favorite foods - pizza and hamburgers.
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 link spicy pork Italian sausage
1 tsp coarse ground salt
1 tsp coarse ground pepper
1 tbsp Italian dressing
1 1/2 cup commercial marinara sauce
8 slices hard pepperoni
6 slices mozzarella cheese
Sauteed Topping:
2 green peppers, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp coarse ground pepper
1 tsp coarse ground salt
12 pieces ciabatta bread
4 tsp butter to toast bread
Olive oil for brushing on grill rack
Directions: Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To make patties, combine beef, Italian sausage, salt, pepper and Italian dressing in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into long oblong patties to fit the bread. Lightly butter one side of each piece of bread and set aside for toasting later. To make the sauteed topping, combine the peppers, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Warm the olive oil in a 12-inch fireproof skillet on the grill. Add the peppers, onions, garlic, salt and pepper and sautee, stirring frequently for 15 to 20 minutes, avoid burning the garlic by moving the skillet away from the direct heat. Remove topping from grill and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Place the pepperoni on the grill to warm, 2 minutes per side. Set aside and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack and cover the grill. Cook the patties, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove patties from the grill and stack in a metal pan and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. While cooking the patties, in a 6-inch fireproof skillet, warm the marinara sauce. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the bread on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly. To assemble the burgers, place slice of mozzarella cheese on top of the bottom bun, place the patty, place sauteed topping, place the two slices of pepperoni, put marinara sauce on the bottom of the top bun and serve. Makes 6 hamburgers.

Kim Kardashian has no f-cking clue
Kim Kardashian tweeted last night that she was sitting next to an air marshal during her flight home to LAX. Which would seem innocent except for the small fact that air marshals aren't supposed to reveal their identity to passengers. Kim Kardashian's Ass: 1. National Security: 0:
- I'm on the airplane…love wifi! I am sitting next to an Air Marshall! Jim the air marshall makes me feel safe!
– No but I figured it out & he told me! shhhh RT @rockergirl73 you aren't suppose to know the identity of the air marshal on your flight.
– RELAX I just told u guys the Air Marshall is sitting next to me, highly doubt anyone is twittering like me on this flight! shhh
– Air Marshall's are supposed to keep their identity concealed. He did! I am just a private eye & assumed, so I asked him & he was honest!
– OK I hope I don't get in trouble…logging off now! xo
So one of two things happened here:
1. Air Marshal Jim just received Reggie Bush's Super Bowl-winning fist in his mouth as a severance package.
2. Kim Kardashian is egotistical enough to believe a real air marshal would risk his job and the safety of passengers just to impress her.
Obviously it was that last one because there's no way someone didn't assume Kim would fall for the oldest trick in the book. Shit, I tell chicks I'm their secret in-flight air marshal even when I'm not on a plane. Although, I should probably point out not a single women's dressing room has crashed into a building on my watch. Ladies?

RTN Federal Credit Union sponsors 'Walk Home' 5K walk for the homeless
RTN Federal Credit Union will sponsor 'Walk Home,' a 5K walk for the homeless, at three different locations on Saturday, June 1, 2013. The three 'Walk Home' 5K routes (approximately three miles) have been established in communities with RTN branches: Greater Boston Walk Home (Dorchester Park); MetroWest Walk Home (Waltham Common); and North Shore Walk Home (Danvers Rail Trail).
The funds raised will support the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless. This year the Coalition's theme is "Rising to the Top," which represents an effort aimed at helping families and individuals rise out of poverty, with a particular emphasis on helping homeless teenagers.
"RTN has a long and deep relationship with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, which is one of our employer sponsor groups," says Nicole James, RTN's senior vice president of retail services, and chair of the Massachusetts Credit Union League's Social Responsibility Committee. "Our credit union has donated $100,000 to the Coalition during the past ten years. 'Walk Home' demonstrates our institution's ongoing commitment to support the Coalition and the important work it does to advocate for and support individuals and families in the Commonwealth who experience homelessness."
The walks will be held rain or shine, and will begin at 9:00 a.m. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. Those interested in walking, donating, or volunteering to help the thousands of homeless teens and kids in Massachusetts can visit: Walk Home.

Card Soldiers are characters from Lewis Carroll's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." They comprise the army of King and Queen of Hearts and have playing cards for bodies.
The Card Soldiers were characters made real accidentally by the Ethereal Solidifier. After 10:30 A.M., the Ghostbusters briefly met The White Rabbit. Soon after, the Card Soldiers marched in the same direction as The White Rabbit. In fact, they marched right over the Ghostbusters without pause.

Almost every team in the area will change classifications, but it has little to do with enrollment.
Schools from across the state submitted their snapshot enrollments to the University Interscholastic League on Friday, and, according to various realignment predictions and previous cutoff numbers, most area schools will be retaining their present status despite changing classes.
With the upcoming institution of a new Class 6A, which creates a ripple affect as six-man becomes 1A, 1A becomes 2A and so forth, and the cutoff ranges expected to remain fairly similar to where they are now, the only area schools with a serious potential of moving are Temple and Salado.
The Wildcats turned in an enrollment of 2,049. Based on the fall 2012 through spring 2014 cutoff numbers, Temple would be a 5A team under the future alignment scale.
"I think we'll probably be on the bubble," Temple athletic director/head football coach Mike Spradlin said, "but I don't know."
While Temple could be remaining the same or moving down, depending on personal viewpoint, Salado might be heading up to 4A based on its enrollment. The Eagles' 478 students would place the program in 3A under previous cutoff numbers.
"We're either the smallest 3A or the largest 2A," Salado athletic director/head football coach Brent Graham said. "We've kind of been preparing for this just in case it happened because we're always close to the cutoff."
Classification cutoff numbers for the biennial realignment process are typically revealed in February, but the UIL recently informed coaches and administrators it will release the numbers early — perhaps in November.
Regardless of when the information is made public, its arrival is typically greeted with much fanfare as it determines district and regional placement for all UIL schools. Although District 8-5A could be affected, Killeen Independent School District athletic director Tom Rogers feels certain his programs will remain together.
"If someone goes down, it's going to leave one less team in the district, which means you have to pick up one more nondistrict game," he said of Temple potentially falling down a classification. "I don't see (two teams going down). I really believe they might leave us as a six-team district."
The current cutoff for 5A is 2,090 or more students, which each of KISD's four schools comfortably clears. Killeen turned in 2,313, while Ellison had 2,652, Shoemaker had 2,271, and Harker Heights had 2,345
Lampasas and Gatesville are both expected to be 4A based on their snapshot enrollments of 1,017 and 788, respectively, while Florence appears to be bound for 3A after submitting an enrollment of 315. Lometa would be a 1A team based on current cutoff numbers after turning in an enrollment of 82.
Enrollment, however, is not the only factor in determining if schools rise or fall in classification. Another major consideration is the number of schools within each classification — something Belton athletic director/head football coach Rodney Southern believes could alter the surrounding landscape.
"The UIL hasn't shook up this area," he said. "With a lot of these teams with 4A numbers now … it puts kind of a different perspective on this Central Texas district."
Belton's snapshot enrollment was 2,916. Copperas Cove did not have a submitted enrollment to report, but based on its previous enrollment, it would be a 6A program.
Midway will be on the border based on its previous enrollment of 2,127.
"We just have to kind of wait and see what they will do with the cutoff," Killeen head coach Sam Jones said. "But I think in our district, (we will) see the same schools, just looking at the cutoff number that is projected."
Albert Alvarado, Brian Bradley and Jordan Mason
contributed to this report.
Fall 2012 – Spring 2014
- 5A – 2,090 and larger
- 4A – 1,005 to 2,089
- 3A – 450 to 1,004
- 2A – 200 to 449
- 1A – 199 and smaller
- Six-Man – 99.9 and smaller (for football, basketball and spring meets)

The headline above a recent article from BusinessInsider.com grabbed my attention immediately. Having fallen short a lot, as we all do, I wondered what premise the author may be starting from.
Is it better to forget it?
I've seen some say so, but that invites more mistakes and misguided decisions. Blowing off unsavory outcomes could lead us to repeat the same action in search of a different result. As my pastor and mentor Steve Clifford once told me, "Sometimes wisdom is not putting your hand back in the fire."
Really, though, who throws a party when things go wrong?
The key is to avoid mourning for an extended period or being possessed by shame and disappointment. Even the author admits what is occurring is "a wider appreciation that failure is an inherent part of innovation and taking risks," an undercurrent of acceptance the prime demands of this web-enabled generation — better and faster — require more defeats than victories.
What is actually happening, then, is the abolition of perfectionism.
The idea is to allow people to come up short and do so openly, to brush aside the embarrassment and take another shot…and another….and another…and another, if necessary.
Further, encouraging people to make an effort engenders a spirit of cohesiveness, in which it is much less "easy for us to point fingers, to find blame, to gleefully critique the things that went wrong," as Seth Godin writes in his new book Poke the Box. When everyone is allowed to swing for the fences, everyone is going to strike out more — but everyone will support each other more, too.
We walk a fine line in creating a culture which accepts failure "just right."
Facilitating experimentation — giving people the freedom to explore uncommon concepts and create based on them — inevitably leads to dead ends and discouragement from time to time. Become too lax and the whole venture goes down the tube without any wins.
Making the most of undesired results, squeezing every lesson about the wrong (and right) out for future application, expands the possibility for a major breakthrough — one that will, with persistence and consistency, certainly arrive.
Then we throw the party.
After all, there is a time to celebrate failure: when we've succeeded.

Mighty Mouse
Ahhhh! To sleep with the windows open at night is heavenly.
Tuesday I did 25 minutes on the track, then 35 minutes cardio dvd. I'm trying to improve my performance of the moves. (Mighty Mouse strikes again.)
Today will be a track run and cardio DVD I think.
Happy runs, All! :::HUGS:::
Judy - Yes it is wonderful to sleep with windows open and fresh air breezes
Karen - Your TI swim class sounds wonderful!!! I can't wait for you to do your first Tri!!!
Marjorie - I am with you on guns "scaring the crap out of you". My DH was in Law Enforcement for 30 years, was a gun safety instructor...etc., so have lived with guns around....but literally can't touch one. Weird.
LisaMMR - And so it begans for your "poor" co-worker....she doesn't EVEN know what will follow.....LOL So you think there is room in Detroit for me
Swim was fun last night, lots of work on technique and did 1,200 yards. DH is taking the class too, he has done 1-2 Tri's year for 4 years....doesn't really train too much, and just suffers through it. He seemed to enjoy it, but he was exhausted after and I am sure he will have some sort of ache or pain from it today.......but I am glad he is going....things are much more fun when you train...
Off to work!
Good morning!
Carol, I didn't remember that your hubby did tri's. In a way, I admire people who can just go do them. They have guts. I otally agree with you...wouldn't want to do that myself. I've been undertrained, but never tried anything untrained.
Julie, understand wanting to buy pretty shoes. I just bought Hoka shoes. They are not one's you'd "be drawn to like a crow. ". UGLY and expensive. : )They are super cushioned and I'm hoping they'll help with neuroma pain. Trying them on treadmill so I can return if they don't work. You're doing such a great with your group!
Lisa, smiles on the new 5k recruit. Sounds like the back is better-thank goodness!
Laura and Cindy, I hate when they change shoes, too. I stopped being able to wear Wave Riders and Adrenalines after updates. They just changed the Cumulus. We'll see how it works.
Ginny, nice 5! Judy, great workouts. As usual.
Marjorie, wow! 350+ miles! WTG!
DR, nice miles!
Tessa, WTG on running again after the ultra. You may have felt like a little old lady, but I don't think many of them would be out running again. : )
Karen, neat that you have a great swim classes!
How neat is this!?! Running Times online has two trails I run on featured in the Trails We Love section on the same page. The greenway (flat) trail near my mom's. I did an easy run on it yesterday. The Equinox link is still up, too.
Greenway http://www.runningtimes.com/trails-to-run/trails-we-love-big-creek-greenway
Equinox http://www.runningtimes.com/trails-run/trails-we-love-equinox-marathon-trail
They are very different. The other trails featured look neat, too. I just started checking RT site recently and the trail pics are my favorite part. Naturally. : ) I need to do 10 today.
Swimming again tonight. A little excited, and also a little nervous. I don't know why.....I just am. I guess because it's all new and I tend to put a little bit of pressure on myself to be perfect, which is kind of hard to do when you're learning an entire skill set!
Weather is still looking awesome for NJ Marathon this Sunday.
Oooh, camille, nice find. I don't know that I've been to the Running Times website much, and definitely not that section. Thanks for the links - and a new place online to spend some time!
Carol, cool that DH is doing the swim class too. I agree, things go much better when you're trained as opposed to suffering through. But kudos to the guy for being able to just get up and do a tri - not a lot of men these days could.
Good morning Mighty Mouse, I mean Judy! We finally have cool, sunny days after two days of rain, and it is indeed wonderful!
Trying to arrange a workshop in July and a board meeting in August. If I can find Marriotts for both meetings it should get me from Silver Elite to Gold, which will be nice for race travel for the rest of the year. I had a ton of Hilton points, but this boss prefers Marriott, so now I'm going Marriott. It's nice, because if I get a room block, I get credit for each night as well as the person that actually books the room in our block. So each of these meetings gets me 10-15 room nights, plus points for whatever the meeting costs are.
Since everyone else is blogging: http://karenrunsfar.blogspot.com/Upcoming Races: 2016: BCS Marathon. 2017: Houston Marathon, The Woodlands Marathon, Oklahoma City Marathon and Missoula Marathon (50th one on my 50th birthday). After that, who knows?
Run to live; live to run
10.6 for me
I see Lisa has a new recruit for running. Yay!
Carol glad swim went well.
Camille very cool they have two of your trails mentioned.
Karen hope the weather holds. Our weather here today was gorgeous.
Bad Ass
Hi, ladies!
I cannot wait to hop on a plane tomorrow. Spent the morning at the dentist and now I'm finally at the office. Bah. Too much work!
Did 7 with 2 @ MP this morning in the HOkas. Very nice run except for the 74 dewpoint. Will do some miles with DH tonight.
Hope you ladies have a great day. Will check with you again tomorrow (no internet at home still! Well, intermittent) from the office before I head to the airport. Take care!
"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire."
It's always fucking hot in Miami!
Good afternoon,
Judy...I am so impressed that you tend to do 2 workouts a day! I do one or the other, good for you!
Karen...nice getting all the hotel rooms.....Now that I have decided I would like to do the Cleveland Half in 2 weeks, I can't find a hotel room! Frustrating. Try and relax about the swimming....you will be fine.
Did my WT this morning, planning on a run tomorrow morning.
Remember last Saturday when it took me so long to run, what I thought was 11 miles? Well I did map it today, cause I distinctly remembered suddenly how many times I did this one loop and this time it says I ran 13.31...if that is correct no wonder it took me as long as it does to run a half, cause I did! maybe I should run without my Garmin, I am beginning to think it might be a good idea!
6/8 Hatfield/McCoy Half, 8/18 lake Erie Shores and Islands Half, 9/21 Mighty Niagara Half Lewiston, NY, 10/7 Cleveland Rock & Roll Half 10/6 or Detroit Free Press 10/20, A Christmas Story 5 or 10K Cleveland 12/7, Santa Hustle Half Cedar Point 12/15
Lisa, you are sneaky! But in a good way. Glad to hear that you heartened your coworker!
Marjorie, I am with you, I have never shot a gun and have no desire to learn how to shoot. The chances of it being taken from me and used against me are far higher than the chances of my being able to use it in my own defense.
Ginny, frustrating that you can't find a hotel room!
Karen and Carol, glad you both had good swim workouts.
Judy, Mighty Mouse indeed.
Camille, we were making jokes in Nevada about "no, I want HOKA shoes, not HOOKER shoes..." they surely do look clumsy and padded. Like strapping Kotex Maxis onto your feet.
Damaris, yuck, dentist.
Karen, Sis belongs to both Hilton and Marriott and accumulates lots of points in both -- sometimes there isn't a hotel of one brand in a town she's going to, but it's rare that there isn't either a Hilton brand or a Marriott brand. (Um, Williams, WV, might be an exception!)
Hot here and getting hotter, but time to haul out the long sleeves one last time...it is still snowing in SD. Yikes.
4 miles this morning, combined with a stop by the post office to get the mail and a dash up Sis's driveway to get the library book SIL borrowed. Now off to the gym for more.
299.76 for April Why didn't I run 3 minutes more at some point during the month?!
hmm so I'm playing with booking my flight for Dad's wedding. I will use points and I'll probably book first class. Might as well. Depends on which carrier I use.
Still trying to decide which airport to fly into for Hatfield. May do Charleston WV.
Tessa so close to that 300. So close!
0.0 for me today. It is a number.
DD had second installment of tooth implant process today so worked from home so that I could drive her back and forth.
Judy-you ARE mighty but not a mouse.
Carol-I wouldn't waste anytime though... it may be close to filling up.
Camille-lucky you on the trails! I've run on the Vasa by Traverse City..lovely. DWD Devils Lake has sections of the Ice Age trail also.
Karen-that is a good way to earn points.
Ginny-go you!
Hi Ladies!!
4.3 hot miles after work. Been a long time since I ran in 80+ degrees. Not ideal running conditions but I'll take it lol. Busy night with kids' practices, older DS is playing soccer adn younger DS is playing little league. Going to be a busy few weeks.
Hi Judy, Carol, Camille, Karen, Marjorie, Damaris, Ginny (GREAT job with the 13+), Tessa and Lisa....

We present here the memoirs of Roman Petrenko, a leading insurgent activist in Volyn' and Polissia during the period 1942 - 1944. The author participated int eh formation of the first UPA units, the earliest UPA staffs and the underground administration, so he is able to provide a first hand account of the origins and development of these organizations, their successes and failures. In the last part of the book, the author deals with such topics as Secretariat of Foreign Affairs of the UHVR, headed by Mykola Lebed, the departure of the General Secretariat from Ukraine, the wounding of Yaroslav Stats'ko and other interesting events. We consider these memoirs an important addition to UPA history in Volyn', UHVR history and the story of Ukrainians'' escape from Soviet "liberation".
The author began his activity in the area of the UPA's "birth", that is, in Polissia in Volyn', in the Rivne oblast. The author's memoirs begin with the outbreak of World War Two. At this time, he was a member of the Sarny region OUN leadership. Describing the periods of the first Soviet "liberation" and the German occupation, he shows how Ukrainian Polissia gradually became a dynamic and nationally conscious part of Ukraine. He describes the difficult conditions in which the first UPA units came into being. At the time, he was working with the commander of the first UPA combat company, Hryhoriy Perehiyniak ("Korobka") and such UPA organizers as Ivan Lytvynchuk ("Dubovyi"), Serhiy Kachynstkyj ("Ostap"), Vasyl Ivakhiv ("Som"), Vasyl Korinets' ("Borysten"), Dmytro Kliachkivsk'kyi ("Klym Savur") and others. In the spring of 1943, when the headquarters of the "Zahrava" UPA Military Region was established, with Ivan Lytvynchuk ("Kubovyi") as commander and Col. Leonid Stupnytskyj ("Honcharenko") as chief of staff, the author was named chief of the economic section of this military region headquarters. at this time, the underground administration was created on the basis of the OUN underground network. The author focuses his discussion on the organization of the underground economy.
In August, most of the staff of the "Zahrava" Military Region were called to the UPA General Headquarters, commanded by Dmytro Kliachkivs'kyi ("Klym Savur"). Col. L. Stupnytskyi was named General Headquarters chief of staff. Col. Oleksander Omeliusik, chief of the operational section, and the author, chief of the economic section and later, of the external liaison section. A number of other officers from the Ukrainian liberation struggle of 1917-1921 were also working at General Headquarters, as well as some younger officers from the Red Army and the Polish Army. The UPA Supreme Command proclaimed itself the highest authority on the territory controlled by the UPA and engaged in extensive activity. The UPA's operational territory was divided into four UPA Military Regions: "Zahrava", commanded by Ivan Lytvynchuk ("Dubovyi"), the I. Bohun Southern region, commanded by Petro Oliynyk ("Enei"), "Turiv", commanded by Juriy Stelmashchuk ("Rudyi") and the Eastern region, commanded by Fedir Vorobets' ("Vereshchaka"). The military region commanders were also commanders of an UPA group, that is, the UPA division on the territory of the military region. The underground administration was called UPA rear commands. The UPA General Headquarters issued a whole series of orders regulating the activities of UPA units and activities behind their lines, for example, schooling, land distribution to peasants and cultural and educational life. The author was right at the centre of this activity. Although he writes mainly about the UPA's economic affairs, he also mentions many other matters.
The memoirs are written in the first person, in a dry memorandum style. The author does not recreate the speeches of dialogues of the persons he writes about, nor provide any second-hand accounts of events. He firmly holds in the reins of his imagination and describes only events that he personally experienced, witnessed or verified. He is stingy with praise and does not exaggerate the importance of insignificant events: his evaluations of persons and events are careful and considered. His account makes no appeal to the emotions; rather, it inspires thought and confidence. His language is adorned with many colourful dialect words and phrases from Polissia, which add to the richness of the Ukrainian language but are not generally found in dictionaries.
These memoirs were prepared by the author and his wife, Halyna, active member of the Ukrainian Resistance (literary editing). The author also provided some photographs and checked the proofs.

Page 245. Roman Petrenko: For Ukraine, for her freedom
In these memoirs, the author describes his activity in the Ukrainian resistance movement during the Second World War. He held a number of leading positions in this movement. After the arrival of the Red Army in 1939 and at the beginning of the German occupation in 1941, he was a member of the Sarny regional OUN leadership; this region encompassed the Sarny and Kostopil counties of the Rivne oblast. When the UPA was formed in early 1943, he became chief of the economic section of the "Zahrava" UPA Military Region, which included the northern part of the Rivne oblast and the southern part of the Pinsk oblast (now in Belarus). In the summer of 1943, he was named chief of the UPA Supreme Command economic section and at the end of 1943, he headed the UPA Supreme Command foreign relations section. In late July 1944, he was named special task officer of the UHVR General Secretariat for External Affairs, which was headed by Mykola Lebed. Along with the General Secretariat for External Affairs, he made his way to western Europe. Thus, the author's activities were varied and spread over many locations, a fact that enriches his memoirs
During Soviet Rule, 1939-1941, the author lived in the open. At the assignment of the regional OUN leadership, he took a job at the Ivanova Dolyna stone quarry, which had quite a large number of workers, in order to spread OUN influence among them. He describes the prevailing atmosphere there, as well as the work of the underground and the situation in the entire region, which was worsening with every oblasts of Ukraine. All parties and cultural and educational associations were immediately suppressed and arrests of their activists followed. Afterwards, persecution of church activists began. Larger industrial concerns were confiscated and tradesmen and small merchants were burdened with ruinous taxes. Heavy taxes were also levied on peasants and they were obliged to do unpaid state work. They were forced to enter the state "artily" or "collective farms". In the winter of 1940, mass deportations of families to Siberia began. At first these were Polish colonists and the wealthy; later, anyone who was not "docile". The NKVD put its greatest efforts into fighting the underground OUN, which was considered a political threat. Many people faced with arrest entered the underground or tried to get out of the country to areas occupied by the Germans. All of this was accompanied by great impoverishment, since the living standard fell drastically in comparison to the pre-war level. For these reasons, the outbreak of the German-Soviet war on June 22, 1941 was met with relief by everyone.
The German occupation enjoyed a brief "honeymoon". At first, the German military commands tolerated the local government and Ukrainian community life. The author tells in detail how the population enthusiastically welcomed the renewal of the Ukrainian state in Lviv on June 30, 1941 and describes his own activity. At this time, OUN activists came out from underground and organized an administration, police, schools, community life and even military units. The author was involved in schooling and cultural and educational activities. However, most of this activity came to a stop when the news came that the Germans has arrested members of Ya. Stetsko's government and many OUN activists in Lviv. Known OUN activists in Volyn immediately went underground or moved to another location where they were not known. Weapons and other military equipment which were not under German control were collected, transported by night to villages and stored. In autumn 1941, the so-called civilian German administration arrived, with the Gestapo, military police and other services. It forbade political and community activity, closed down schools (except for elementary schools), and put strict controls on he administration. Very heavy taxes were imposed on the villages. The Germans openly treated Ukrainians as members of a lower race, who were to be slaves in their "thousand-year" reich. Arrests of OUN members began. Most cruelly persecuted were the Jews. At first, while the author was still working in the administration, the Germans did not know that he was an OUN member. However, on January 12, 1942, the Gestapo wanted to arrest him and he went underground.
The author then describes his underground existence, which was full of dramatic experiences. The OUN had cells in almost all the villages of the region. At first, OUN activity was directed towards training and practical preparations of cadres. For this purpose, a printshop was established, publication of underground literature was begun, political and military training was organized and meetings were held with the public and members. Weapons and other military equipment were collected and stored. The situation was worsening with every month. German terror increased and more and more people were going underground. In addition, Soviet parachutists and partisans from Belarus began to appear in the Polissia forests. They conducted raids on villages to obtain food and killed nationally-conscious Ukrainians, whom they regarded as enemies of the Soviet regime. This made self-defence essential. In the second half of 1942, small combat groups began to be organized in the threatened areas, at first for self-defence and later, also for the defence of settlements against the Germans and Soviets. During the winter of 1942-43, they developed into UPA companies and battalions. During this time, the author met and worked with the later UPA-North commander, Ivan Lytvynchuk ("Dubovyi"), UPA organizers Vasyl Ivakchiv ("Som") and Serhiy Kachynskyi ("Ostap"), the commander of the first UPA company Hryhoriy Perehiyniak ("Korobka"), Vasyl Korinets ("Borysten") and others. The author also describes his meetings with Taras Borovets ("Bulba"), who was, at first, commander of a regular military unit, "Poliska Sich UPA" in Olevske, and in 1942, entered the underground and created a partisan unit independent of the OUN. The author also characterizes many other underground activities and members with whom he worked or whom he met.
In early April 1943, the "Zahrava" UPA Military Region command was established. This military region included the northern part of the Rivne oblast and the southern part of the Pinsk oblast. The commander of this military region was Ivan Lytvynchuk ("Dubovyi"), the chief of staff was Col. Leonid Stupnytskyi ("Honcharenko"), the chief of the operational section was Col. Olexander Omeliusik and the chief of the Ukrainian Red Cross was "Yivha". The author was named chief of the economic section. This was not an easy assignment. He had to establish an effective administrative apparatus on the basis of the OUN network. He constantly traveled across the region, selecting people for the economic administrative apparatus, holding consultations and organizing the production of required foodstuffs and supplies for UPA units. As well as describing his own work, he also describes the work of other sections of the "Zahrava" military region.
The administrative successes of the "Zahrava" military region headquarters pleased UPA Supreme Commander Dmytro Kliachkivskyi (Klym Savur) and in August 1943, he seconded some of the sectional chiefs of the military region to the UPA General Headquarters. Col. L. Stupnytskyi was named chief of staff, Col. O. Omeliusik, chief of the operational section, Col. S. Kulzhynskyi, his assistant, R. Petrenko chief of the economic section and Antin Moroz, his assistant. The UPA Supreme Command proclaimed itself the highest authority on UPA operational territory, not only for military, but also administrative functions. It issued a series of orders signed by D. Kliachkivskyi and L. Stupnytskyi, governing different areas of activity until near the end of 1943, when a new UPA Supreme Command was established, commanded by Roman Shukhevych; the UPA Supreme Command commanded by D. Kliachkivskyi was renamed the UPA-North command. At this time, the author focused his efforts on the "Turiv" Military Region (Volyn and Berestia oblast). He describes his countless trips through the "Turiv" region on economic and other business for the underground administration. He also arranged for "trade" among different regions, because, for example, Polissia needed bread while having an excess of cattle and forest products.
At the December 1945, the author headed the newly-established external contacts section of the UPA Supreme Command, while the economic section was taken over by his assistant, Antin Moroz. At this time, the German-Soviet front moved to the right bank of the Dnipro River and drew nearer to the "Zahrava" military region. The author went to stay with the "Sich" UPA detachment (Volodymyr Volynskyi and Horokhiv counties) where the officers' school was terminating its activities. After this, the instructional staff moved to the Carpathian Mountains. Then the author traveled to Warsaw for discussions with the UNR President-in-Exile, Andriy Livytskyi, hoping to get more former officers who were living abroad to join the UPA. He also secretly enrolled several people in a German radio operator courses being given in Kholm under the direction of former UNR Col. Petro Diachenko, who was working for German military intelligence. At this time, the UPA concluded a secret truce with the Hungarian occupying troops in Volyn. As the front drew nearer, some German commands sought contacts with UPA commands in order to agree on joint action against the Soviets. However, this was forbidden. Soon German intelligence found out about the UPA radio operators in Kholm and demanded that Col. Diachenko put them into contact with the UPA command. At this time, the front was near Kovel and the author, not having contact with D. Kliachkivskyi, traveled to Lviv to seek contact with the UPA Supreme Command. There he met Rostyslav Voloshyn and delegated to him the question of contacts with the Germans. The author also describes a number of other issues, as well as UPA and underground activity in the frontal zone. During the summer of 1944, he traveled to the Carpathians, where he met M. Lebed, the newly-elected UHVR General Secretary for External Affairs. He was assigned to Lebed's group, which was to be abroad.
The author became a special task officer for this group. The group consisted of more than 20 important people -- UHVR members and leading underground activists, who, supplied with illegal documents, were to make their way to Western Europe along with refugees, taking with them various underground documents. The group was divided up and traveled along different routes. There was need to see to security, transport, living quarters and money for subsistence, maintain contacts with everyone and seek contacts with the diaspora OUN network. When the group was in Bratislava, the Germans freed many political prisoners, among them S. Bandera, Ya. Stetsko and A. Melnyk, thanks to the efforts of the Rev. Dr. Ivan Hryniokh. The liberated prisoners also had to be helped. The most dramatic events occurred in the spring of 1945, when the final allied offensive began. While the author was driving in a car with the Rev. I. Hryniokh and Ya. Stetsko on Czech territory, American planes shot at the car and Stetsko was seriously wounded. There was danger that he would fall into Soviet hands. The author made efforts to steal him out of hospital and take him further west to a safe location. The memoirs end with descriptions of various events during the last days of the Third Reich.
These memoirs are valuable because the author writes about many matters which nobody else has discussed so far. Furthermore, he held a number of leading positions and thus was well-informed about UPA activities in the areas under his responsibility.

The Virtual Steam Car Museum interprets the history of steam automobiles by collecting, preserving, and exhibiting its collections. This is set in the larger context of American industrialization and the automobile industry.
At the turn of the 20th century steam power dominated the dawning automobile age. The civilized and industrialized world depended entirely on steam as the primary power source, driving factories, mines, ships, and trains. It was only natural that this common power source would be applied to horseless carriages.
Over 200 companies and individuals built steam vehicles, some as early as the 1860s. American inventors developed many different ideas and configurations.
The Virtual Steam Car Museum documents and interprets the initial success of such companies as Stanley, White, Locomobile, and Mobile as well as their ultimate demise.
The downfall of steam cars had nothing to do with the advent of the electric starter for gasoline powered cars, but rather the time it took to raise steam and the increased size and power of gasoline engines.
By 1912, steam cars had all but disappeared. Only Stanley served a tiny niche market. The internal combustion (or as the Stanley Motor Carriage Company derisively called them Internal Explosive) cars dominated.
Steam cars were America's first mass produced automobiles and they advertised as their budgets allowed. Their early advertising is quite interesting. They tell prospective buyers "We really are making cars!" "Our cars are simple and reliable!" "Look at the races we've won and mountains we've climbed!" By 1904, Locomobile features lovely women excited to ride in its automobiles.
Steam car makers struggled to sell their horseless carriages. The Museum's collections document one company's attempt to set up an early dealer franchise. There were no garages to fix the new, complicated vehicles, and the Musem's holdings of owner's manuals, instruction booklets, and parts lists interpret the education of owners.
Some inventors and entrepreneurs never awoke from their steam power dreams, and the Museum follows the exploits of Doble, Derr, Delling, Brooks, Coats, and others into the 1920s and 1930s. Steam powered tanks were seriously researched during World War I.
In the 1920s and 1930s, inventors turned to interurban passenger trains, city busses, and heavy trucks, before succumbing to diesel engines.
Because they burned kerosene, many Stanley cars were driven during World War II, when kerosene was not rationed.
Shortly before the War, early automobile pioneers created the antique car hobby that burgeoned after the War. Steam cars, predominantly the Stanley and White, were widely featured.
The mnemonic Stanley Steamer and the car's popularity during the War were important elements that moved the steam car into popular culture.
The Stanley was featured in movies and driven by major stars. Opera star James Melton was often pictured with his Stanleys and Whites.
Firms such as Sunoco, Pacific Life Insurance, Humble Oil & Refining, and Sinclair featured Stanley Steam Cars in their advertising during the 1950s and 1960s.
The advertising extended into all kinds of kitsch featured all kinds of cars, including steam cars. Liquor bottles, cologne bottles, advertising thermometers, calendars, jewelry, Lions Club pins, etc. are just some of these kinds of artifacts. Higher end nostalgia firms, such as the Franklin Mint, created Stanley models and sterling silver bars.
In the 1960s and 1970s the environmental movement introduced the idea that steam automobiles were the solution to automobile pollution. They were not.
Kit Foster, the highly regarded automobile historian, wrote in The Stanley Steamer, America's Legendary Steam Car, that the very mention of Stanley Steamer elicits a response from almost everyone, and not because of the carpet cleaner that happily misspells the word steemer.
Steam cars are continually introduced to new generations, for example through a recent Disney movie featuring the wedding of a Stanley Steam car and a Model T Ford. Die hard steam power aficionados still hold out hope for the perfect engine and boiler.
The Virtual Steam Car Museum is a work in progress. As do its brick and mortar cousins, the Virtual Steam Car Museum upgrades its exhibits and creates new exhibits, all the time adding to its collections.
In the past two years, the Museum has acquired three major steam car literature collections, little of which has been processed.
The museum's first book, Hector Halhead "Steam" Stewart: The History of New Zealand Steam Transportation, has exited the research and writing phase. Publication funding is pending.
Unless otherwise noted, all the artifacts and documents exhibited here are the property of or on loan to The Virtual Steam Car Museum.

Thank you for your financial support.

The following is a script to backup the IIS 6.0 Metabase. Save it as bkupmeta.bat.
REM delete mapping for H: if it exists
net use h: /del
REM map H: to remote server share
net use h: \\RemoteServer\backup /user:RemoteServer\user password
REM replace YouriisServerName with the name of your IIS web server
SET SERVER=YouriisServerName
REM yymmdd will be the current date.
REM For example June 18 2008 will be in the format 080618
SET yymmdd=%date:~12,2%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%
REM replace YouriiSserverPassword with the password of an administrative
REM user on the IIS box
SET PASSWORD=YouriiSserverPassword
REM iisback.vbs generates the two metabase backup files and saves them
REM to the %windir%\system32\inetsrv\metaback directory
REM in the format yymmdd.MD0 and yymmdd.SC0
iisback.vbs /backup /b %yymmdd% /e %PASSWORD%
REM copy the metabase backup files to the remote server
REM /y tells xcopy to overwrite any files with the same name
REM on the remote server
Xcopy %windir%\system32\inetsrv\metaback\%yymmdd%.* h:\%SERVER% /y
Now, for the secure part. We need to encrypt the bkupmeta.bat file so that not just anyone can read it's contents. That would be a bad thing, since we have our password saved in the script.
To encrypt the bkupmeta.bat file:
In Windows Explorer right click on the bkupmeta.bat file
Select Properties
Select Advanced
Check the Encrypt Contents to Secure Data check box – OK – Apply
Select Encrypt the File Only
While you're at it, double check the bkupmeta.bat's ntfs permissions to make sure only the appropriate administrative user has access to the file. You should also verify the %windir%\system32\inetsrv\metaback\ directory has the appropriate permissions, even though it's secured by default.
Finally, create a scheduled task that runs bkupmeta.bat whenever you'd like. Verify the backups are occuring by checking for the MD* and SC* files on the remote server.
This script was modified from one found in Chapter 9 of "IIS 6.0 Administration Scripts, Tips, and Tricks".

AN old cemetery in Blackburn has turned into a wildlife oasis after the grass was allowed to grow long.
Opinion is divided among local residents about the wild grassland. Some say they enjoy getting back to nature, but others are urging the council to cut the grass and maintain the area around their family plots.
Anne Edwards, 58, who lives in Whalley New Road, walks her dogs in the cemetery three times a day, and wants the grass to be allowed to grow free.
She said: "I just like it the way it is. A lot of these graves are not visited anymore and people can trim round their own graves "I love it. It's nice for birds nesting, and bees and butterflies come here, and hedgehogs, and foxes, and there were deer here too.
"It's like a walk in the countryside. The dogs love it too. It's like having the country on your doorstep. There are more people coming here for walks than there are tending graves."
But Gerard Rogan, 61, from Knuzden, said he and his wife were upset by the state of the cemetery.
He said: "My mother-in-law was only buried there last year, in a family grave, and we tend the grave every week. It's heartbreaking, my wife's really upset by it. It's unbelievable. We had a new headstone put on and the actual plot looks nice, but it's spoilt by that grass.
"The council say they cut the grass three times a year, but it's not been cut at all so far this year."
The cemetery is maintained by Blackburn Council together with a Friends group, and there are plans to cut the grass in the next few weeks.
Coun Shaukat Hussain lead member for environment said: "As a council we understand that grass cutting and other environmental work remains a priority for residents. Over the past few weeks we have been tending and tiding many of the borough's open spaces and cemeteries as we have seen an unprecedented rate of grass growing. I can now however assure residents that contractors will clear the area as soon as possible."

Today I would like to lend my moral support to a conservation fundraising project being conducted by the bloggers at 10,000 Birds. The project is meant to support the Sharpe's Longclaw, an extremely rare bird found only in eastern Africa. The small size of its population makes the species especially vulnerable to extinction if its habitat changes. Unfortunately little is known about its distribution or needs. That is where the 10,000 Birds project comes in.
Charlie summarizes the project as such:
To summarise the project briefly, what we have pledged is to do everything we can to raise 2000 USDollars (or more, of course), which will be combined with money raised by Luca to provide a one-year fellowship for a local researcher, Dominic Kamau Kimani, to a) conduct surveys of suitable longclaw habitat, and b) take an education/awareness programme about the longclaw and the need to conserve its habitat into local schools. Not only are we actively supporting a project that should directly impact on decisions on future conservation measures taken for Sharpe's Longclaw, we have been officially named as partners to the National Museums of Kenya an institution which manages three World Heritage Sites, twenty-two Museums and over a hundred Sites and Monuments across the country and who are organising and running the surveys (which we are incredibly excited about).Charlie and Mike are proposing that individuals give small donations of $1-$5 apiece. If enough readers donate, that should cover the cost of the project. This seems like a worthy goal; if it succeeds, it could spur similar initiatives in the future. You can read more about the project and how to donate here.
Blogs have already become a vehicle for funding in other niches, such as the political world. It would be useful indeed if we bird bloggers could become a source for conservation funding.

Samsung uses its "White Glove" service to get the rich and famous to promote its devices

Surprisingly, Korean based Samsung uses some of the techniques used by plastic container manufacturer Tupperware in order to get celebrities 'hooked' on its devices. A published report on Tuesday revealed how Dana Brunetti, president of the production company responsible for The Social Network movie, and Netflix's original House of Cards series, was given a Samsung Galaxy S III at a party after the release of The Social Network...

"Sammy, come talk to me when you don't have to give away your device to get someone to use it."
Can you name a company that has more smartphone or cell phone users in the world than Samsung? Since they are #1 in the world, that's a lot of people who have Samsungs "forced" on them. And since the article clearly says that a person tried it out for a month and then chose it over his old device, isn't that the complete opposite of it being forced on someone?

Shingles, also known as "Herpes Zoster", is a re-activation of the chickenpox virus. It is an opportunistic infection that attacks people that have a compromised immune system and strikes suddenly. It is brought on by stress, the use of corticosteroid, immuno-suppressant drugs, anticancer drugs, or following surgery.
Complications of the virus may include postherpetic neuralgia (PHN); a condition where the pain persists for months, sometimes years, after the rash has healed. Acupuncture is very effective for this type of pain. Since the virus attacks the nerve sensors located under the skin, it not only magnifies the pain and heat signals, it is often resistant to pain medications.
In China, acupuncture is recognized as the most effective of all therapies for the treatment of herpes zoster.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) usually attributes a combination of excess and deficiency in the body. Therefore, it usually affects older patients whose constitutional energy is deficient or younger patients who are suffering from exhaustion.
The more pronounced the weakness of the patient, the more likelihood of complications and the more prolonged the course of the disease is likely to be.
The intent of acupuncture treatments is to strengthen the immune system, the primary cause of the outbreak. Depending where the lesions are on the body, the acupuncture physician can target a treatment protocol based on where the lesions intersect the meridians.
For those that are resistant to or do not wish to take medications, acupuncture is an excellent and effective therapy for treating the pain associated with shingles.
Aloe vera gel, raw honey or fresh leek juice may be smoothed over the rash several times a day. Hydrogen peroxide can be used on infected blisters. Apple cider vinegar, cool goldenseal, mugwort or peppermint tea, even a solution of baking soda and water can help over the sores.
Can EFT Help?
EFT's impressive ability to approach ailments from both emotional and energetic directions is also highly effective in the treatment of this painful condition.

Why is instagram so necessary? After the news that instagram exposed the users privacy, I would never use the instagram ever again... And I wish to unsubscribe my account if can... Glad I just put 4 pictures of meal, which fine by Mr :(

Why would you need Instagram anyway? You have better sharing options with facebook (and even twitter and stuff), what makes instagram so special? I tried it on android, and uninstalled it after a few days, since everyone who was using it was also on facebook. The filters make bad pictures look worse, they don't respect your privacy, and anyone with a computer or feature phone can use facebook, but may not have access to instagram. Or is it some sort of stupid elitist thing?

Why Instagram? There are way better photo editing apps. I think it's also better to share photos on facebook, because Instagram exposed users' privacy.

Clarks provide the ultimate in footwear for children in the UK. The termly trip to the shoe shop to be fitted for a new pair was a memorable feature of my childhood and I think it's going to be something my children remember. A back to school tradition that's passed down generations! I'm a Clarks girl through and through and I still wear them now.
I was thrilled when Clarks asked us to go along and try their fitting service and get some new school shoes for the Spring term. The question was, which child to choose? In the end I opted for some for the eldest because he has an uncanny knack of literally destroying his shoes. After intense questioning it appears he has actually been wandering about with holes in them for a month or so. I suppose I should have looked and the school probably think I'm some sort of scruff bag evil mother, but frankly I refuse to be shoe maintenance woman as well!
Clarks has two amazing facilities which are not as widely broadcast as they should be. Firstly you can pick a selection of shoes on line to be delivered in store, that prevents meltdowns when the size isn't available. Secondly you can actually book a fitting appointment, this is a godsend at those particularly busy times of year.
I decided to go for the booking option and went along to our local branch. We were really promptly seen. Each time we go to Clarks they happily measure feet as part of the service (even if you have just had them done somewhere else) to make sure that the shoes fit properly. This is my children's favourite part of the whole process, probably because they get some attention!
After that, we picked a selection of shoes we fancied and the assistant went out and got them in the right size. Fortunately the 'cool' ones Boy had his eye on were available and so they were checked for it and he was allowed to wear them home.
Ok, that's the abridged version, what actually happened was that the boy was more than happy with his shoes but his siblings then started making noises about new trainers and shoes and before I knew it, in the interests of world peace the shop shoe fitting assistant was providing us with 3 pairs of new shoes.
Overall, everyone was happy, the assistant was very patient despite our demands and the quantity of people queueing up and I'd thoroughly recommend a trip to Clarks for new children's shoes to anyone. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to think of a better service and better place to go. I'm just waiting for them to send me to test out the adult service!
Disclaimer: We were given a voucher for a pair of children's shoes, I honestly don't think you can better them for quality, convenience and service.

AT&T is the lowest-scoring cell-phone carrier in the U.S., according to a satisfaction survey of 58,000 ConsumerReports.org readers. Of all the carriers rated, AT&T was the only one to drop significantly in overall satisfaction.
Over half of the survey respondents who used AT&T as a carrier owned some version of the iPhone, the Apple smart phone that is exclusive to AT&T, at least for now. Consumer Reports data, reflecting all versions of the phone, found that iPhone owners were much less satisfied with their carrier and rated data service (Web and e-mail) lower than owners of smart phones on other carriers that, like the iPhone, have a host of apps to encourage heavy data use.
"Our survey suggests that an iPhone from Verizon Wireless, which is rumored, could indeed be good news for iPhone fans," said Paul Reynolds, Electronics Editor for Consumer Reports.
Also big news this year: U.S. Cellular—which serves 26 states, mostly in the South and Midwest—beat out Verizon Wireless as the top-rated provider for contract service. Also, Sprint has pulled even in overall satisfaction with Verizon, which has been the clear top provider in our Ratings in most years since 2003. Sprint even scored better than Verizon in some aspects of customer service, in a remarkable turnaround.
The survey is part of our annual comprehensive cell-phone package, which hits newsstands tomorrow (Dec. 7) as part of the January issue of Consumer Reports. It will also post online at CRO tomorrow morning. Subscribers will be able to get full Ratings and all the details on the story, including city-by-city Ratings for 23 metro areas.

If the ANC gets more than 60 percent of the vote, President Jacob Zuma's smile will be the biggest of all, says Max du Preez.
If Jacob Zuma were as good a president as he is a survivalist and political street fighter, South Africa would have been a much better place after his five years in the top job.
When the results of Wednesday's election are made known and the ANC got more than 60 percent of the vote, his smile will be the biggest of all.
He will emerge as the biggest winner.
Wind back a month or three ago.
Zuma was the ANC's biggest drawback, most people said. The Nkandla scandal was really hurting the party, commentators said, especially coming on top of other scandals like Guptagate.
There were even some in the ANC who quietly pondered whether the party wouldn't be better off during the elections if Zuma's face was not so prominent in the campaign.
That was enough to spark Number One's survival instincts. You say I'm responsible for the Malema phenomenon now threatening to take votes away from the ANC? You think I'm an embarrassment? Let me show you, he said.
I was told that Zuma insisted that not only would his face remain on all the ANC posters and T-shirts, but that he would crisscross the country, be the main speaker at every rally and lead virtually all walkabouts in communities.
Zuma played the Nkandla scandal like a maestro. I'm the victim here, he told his constituency, the victim of vicious politicking, of racial prejudice, of anti-Zulu sentiment and of corrupt civil servants and contractors. My family and I deserve to have a decent home and we didn't ask for all these upgrades – in fact, they were an inconvenience.
Zuma knew, as his sycophants said often, that in the end Nkandla wasn't going to be a real issue among the vast majority of ANC supporters.
He knew that in his primary constituency outside the urban black middle class people thought he deserved a palace as the chief – the Number One.
If the ANC indeed gets 63 percent of the vote as opinion polls suggested, it would be a miracle and great achievement, one that Zuma will take much credit for.
It comes after five years of rampant corruption, gross inefficiency, abuse of power and privilege, massive enrichment of the Zuma clan, thousands of service delivery protests, the breakup of Cosatu, the Marikana massacre and other incidents of police brutality, the public dissidence of many ANC struggle heroes and the growth rather than reduction of inequality and unemployment. And yet, if the opinion surveys were correct, more than six out of 10 voters wanted Zuma and his party to stay in power. Even if this turns out to be 5.8 out of 10 voters it would be a miracle.
If Zuma emerged stronger than before the election, so would the SACP, the "security cluster" around him and the Zulu-speaking constituency in the ANC. This is not good news for South Africa and in the long run not good news for the ANC itself.
It is a temporary setback for those in Luthuli House who wanted to prepare for a Zuma exit in the next 18 months.
But if Zuma was really that much of a smart strategist and wasn't blinded by his victory, he would still be a worried man.
Opinion surveys predicted a 5 to 8 percent vote for the Economic Freedom Fighters, mostly coming from voters who would otherwise have voted ANC. This probably cancelled out the Cope votes in the last election now returning to the ANC.
The EFF is probably the party with the greatest growth potential of all political parties, especially once they establish proper branches and structures all over the country.
The young vote is going to be crucial in 2019 with well over a third of voters born after 1994.
And a new party on the left is to be formed soon by Irvin Jim and others associated with the National Union of Metalworkers of SA.
The DA was also set to grow by more than 5 percent on Wednesday. Almost all the party's growth in the last decade came from black South Africans.
As dynamic young black leaders like Mmusi Maimane and Lindiwe Mazibuko grow their influence in the party, it will become more attractive to the black middle class.
A more immediate threat to Zuma is the real possibility that the more than 700 criminal charges against him would be reinstated, something that could even happen this year.
It will almost certainly mean the end of his political career, if not his freedom.
Wednesday's victory will raise citizens' expectations for a better life significantly. The Zuma-ANC can't meet those expectations. I'm still betting my bottom dollar that Zuma will be retiring at the ANC's elective conference in 2017, if not long before that.

If you stay in charming Ljubljana for a few days, take some time and discover the surrounding areas of Slovenia's capital. Drive up to the Julian alps and reach Lake Bohinj with it's glassclear waters all the way back in the pretty Bohinj valley within about an hour. In the summer season this landscape is perfect for hiking in the Triglav Nationalpark with the stunning Mount Triglav (Slovenias highest peak) watching over the valley. Don't be suprised if you find a lot of snow here in this area in winter and you might like to check out the ski resort of Mount Vogel, where one can still ski in a wonderful scenery at very affordable prices.

Hybrid, yes. Diesel, no. And small cars? Might work in Canada, but forget about seeing a wholesale change in Americans. They love their big rides and the coming fleet-wide fuel economy rules won't change that very much at all.
At least that's the view at Global Insight, a well respected market research and forecasting group.
Global Insight's John Wolkonowicz, senior market analyst at North American Automotive Group, says fuel economy rules that call for all vehicles sold by any one manufacturer to achieve an average of 6.67 litres/100 km (35.5 miles per gallon) by 2016 will spark technological change, not a wholesale downsizing of the fleet.
"The winning technology in all this will be hybrids in all shapes and forms. It won't be the diesel because of concerns about carcinogenic potential of soot, and the price of diesel is likely to remain volatile into the future," he says.
Wolkonowicz says that by 2016 at least half the vehicles sold in the U.S. will be some sort of a hybrid. The bulk of sales will be mild hybrids along the lines of the current Honda Insight.
Manufacturers will also introduce stop-start systems designed to shut down the engine when the vehicles is not moving. For instance, BMW's Mini brand is moving aggressively in that direction, with others joining the bandwagon.
Wolkonowicz says consumers should also look for a flood of mild hybrids coupled with smaller direct injection gasoline engines and perhaps turbocharging to produce adequate power. He says Global Insight's calculations suggest this combination will allow auto makers to meet the new fuel economy standards.
Ford's EcoBoost system combines turbocharging with direction injection and is being introduced this year on the 2010 MKT crossover. Within a few years Ford plans to sell up to 500,000 vehicles a year with EcoBoost.
Tracy Harder, another Global Insight analyst, says as much as half the new car fleet will be comprised of hybrids by 2016.
That said, he adds that Ford and General Motors are still betting on smaller cars.
Ford's entries will start coming next year in the form of the new Fiesta subcompact and Focus compact. GM is planning to launch the Chevrolet Spark subcompact and Chevy Cruze, which is a replacement for the current Cobalt.
"It looks like diesel is the loser in all this," says Harder. "We have brought our forecast for diesels in 2016 down to about 10 per cent from 15 per cent. It doesn't look like the American consumer can get out of their minds the old diesels from the past and the recent cost differential wasn't enough to support higher initial cost of diesel engines."
One thing not on the table in the U.S., and in Canada, is an increase in fuel taxes.
"American politicians will never agree to new taxes," she says. "A coherent energy policy with a floor on fuel price would make way too much sense to reduce gas consumption for our esteemed leaders."
When I travel in Europe I am repeatedly asked why Americans - and to a lesser extent Canadians - refuse to adopt its tax system rather than fool around with complicated CFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) rules. Higher pump prices have forced the price of gasoline and diesel up in Europe, and that has led directly to a high level of fuel efficiency for the European fleet - which already meets the 2016 standards.
How pricey is gas in Europe? A recent study by the PWC Automotive Institute found the average tax on a gallon of gasoline is $5.16 in Germany, $5.02 in Britain, and $4.83 in France (all figures in U.S. dollars). It is 40 cents in the U.S. The PWC study did not look at Canada, but in 2008, taxes in Canada represented on average 35 per cent of the pump price versus 20 per cent in the U.S.
Instead of following the European lead, we're jumping in with a CAFÉ model intended to harmonize our approach with the Americans. At the risk of a mountain of hate mail, I would argue that higher fuel taxes make more sense and will be less cumbersome and costly as a way to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
In a nutshell, CAFÉ is the dream of bureaucrats, lobbyists and lawyers and it provides cover for politicians who are too cowardly to speak the truth and do the sensible thing.
Here is the problem: CAFE forces manufacturers to meet targets for their entire fleet or pay fines. More expensive fuel directly influences which cars are bought, as well as how the existing ones are used.
In fact, one reported study by Stanford University calculates that direct taxes can achieve an equivalent reduction to CAFE at one-sixth the cost.
Of course, Harder and Wolkonowicz say there is no chance of ever seeing an increase in fuel taxes designed a) to change the makeup and use of vehicles fleet-wide; and b) create a predictable fuel price floor so that manufacturers can develop new models and technologies with a degree of certainly that does not exist today.
That would be political suicide, they say. The public resistance to higher fuel taxes is that strong.
CAFÉ rules are notoriously full of wriggle room and taxpayers and drivers can expect the lawyers and lobbyists to relish exploiting all that room. Meanwhile, we will also see a dramatic increase in the size of the Canadian bureaucracy charged with enforcing the new mandatory, incredibly complicated fleet-wide rules.
One example: CAFE rules define an automobile's "footprint" in determining how much of an improvement in fuel consumption it must have. For instance, a small and thirsty Porsche 911 Carrera will be penalized more heavily than a larger car with greater wheelbase. The bigger the car, then, the less stringent the demands to improve fuel economy.
All this bureaucracy, this fudging and fiddling, is coming to Canada because American consumers simply must have big vehicles and their politicians are too cowardly to do the smart and sensible thing on fuel taxes.Report Typo/Error

The federal government expanded the business areas eligible for compensation after the G20 summit on Tuesday, but critics say the move isn't enough.
Businesses on Queen Street West, Bay Street and near Queen's Park, among others, can now apply for reimbursements for costs incurred over the weekend of the international summit, when 20,000 security officers and ranging protests of several thousand demonstrators made getting to and from the downtown core difficult.
But the clause exempting damage from vandalism still exists, and some are criticizing the expanded compensation area as only a weak first step.
"There are huge swaths that aren't covered," said Adam Vaughan, city councillor for the area, including businesses on Adelaide Street. "Those businesses, for the better part of a week and a half - nobody went near them."
Mr. Vaughan also took issue with the vandalism clause. "The broken windows aren't going to be paid for," he said. Black Bloc anarchists smashed windows of businesses and banks on the Saturday afternoon of the G20 weekend.
The deadline for application has also been moved to Nov. 17 from late September.Report Typo/Error

President Obama is, despite the claims, about as much of a Constitutional Scholar as my dog is a connoisseur of fine art.
But, because I like to educate people, I thought that I would work on increasing the intelligence of our Commander in Chief who, apparently, thinks that he gets to have his way like some sort of messiah.
"It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism." — George Washington, Farewell Address, September 26, 1796
But, then again, perhaps President Obama wants to be HDIC (Head Despot In Charge) …

GENEVA – There is no bigger policy challenge preoccupying leaders around the world than meeting the need to expand participation in the benefits of economic growth and globalization. Indeed, a geographically and ideologically diverse consensus has emerged that a new – or at least much improved – model of economic development will be required if truly greater inclusiveness is to be achieved.
Unfortunately, this political consensus has so far remained aspirational, rather than prescriptive. Policymakers have yet to develop an internationally recognized policy framework – with a corresponding set of indicators and measurable milestones – to guide countries targeting broad-based improvements in living standards, rather than simply continuing to use GDP growth as the bottom-line measure of national economic performance.
The extent to which growth creates opportunities and improves living standards depends on an array of structural and institutional economic policies, including many in areas outside of education and redistribution (the areas most commonly featured in discussions about inequality). There is a growing recognition of the importance of institutions – particularly legal frameworks and public agencies that administer rules and incentives – in the development process. But this recognition has yet to penetrate fully the approach to economic growth that most economists and policymakers take.
The role that institutions play in shaping economic growth was a key finding of the landmark 1993 World Bank study, The East Asian Miracle, which examined how eight countries in the region achieved "high growth and declining inequality" from 1965 to 1990. The Commission on Growth and Development, chaired by the Nobel laureate economist Michael Spence, reached a similar conclusion in its 2008 report, The Growth Report: Strategies for Sustained Growth and Inclusive Development.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
- Bone marrow: The bone's inner, spongy core that produces blood cells.
- Immune system: Cells whose function is to fight infections and disease.
- Lymph nodes: Part of the immune system, lymph nodes store white blood cells and trap and remove bacteria and other harmful substances. Lymph nodes are located in the neck, underarms, chest, abdomen, and groin and connect to lymph vessels, which circulate white blood cells throughout the body.
- White blood cells: Cells that make up the immune system.
- Pathologist: A physician who examines tissues and fluids to diagnose disease in order to assist in making treatment decisions.
What is non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
A cancer of the immune system, non-Hodgkin lymphoma often causes enlarged lymph nodes, fever, and weight loss. Some forms of this cancer are aggressive and fast-growing while others are indolent and slow-growing. Each year, about 66,000 new cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma occur in the United States, making it the fifth most common cancer. About 19,000 Americans die each year from this disease.
While survival rates depend on the type of lymphoma and how much it has spread, the five-year average survival rate for people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma is 63 percent and 10-year survival is 51 percent. Recent treatment advancements are likely to improve survival rates for newly diagnosed patients.
Who is likely to have non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
Certain risk factors increase the chances of an individual developing this disease. These risk factors include a weakened immune system caused by a medical condition; certain types of infections including HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, H. pylori, (which causes stomach ulcers), hepatitis C, and human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type 1 (HTLV-1); and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Researchers are studying other possible risk factors including obesity and exposure to herbicides. While non-Hodgkin lymphoma can occur at any age, most people with this cancer are older than 60.
Having one or more risk factors does not mean that a person will develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Most people who have risk factors never develop cancer.
What characterizes non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
Symptoms include swollen, painless lymph nodes; weight loss; fever; and night sweats.
How does the pathologist make the diagnosis?
If you have enlarged lymph nodes or another symptom suggesting non-Hodgkin lymphoma, your primary care doctor may ask about your personal and family medical history, perform a physical exam, and order a blood test to check your white cell count. Your doctor may also order a chest x-ray. The pathologist may assist in the review of these test results.
In a procedure known as a biopsy, a pathologist examines an entire lymph node or part of one under a microscope, checking the tissue for lymphoma cells. If lymphoma is found, the pathologist reports the type, including whether the lymphoma is fast- or slow-growing.
What else does the pathologist look for?
If lymphoma is found, the pathologist will help evaluate tests that examine if the primary tumor in the lymph node has spread to the liver, lungs, bone, or bone marrow. These tests may include a bone marrow biopsy or spinal tap.
What is meant by the stage of the cancer?
Your pathologist and primary care doctor determine the cancer's stage to plan the best treatment. Stage I cancers are small and confined to one lymph node group, and stage IV tumors have spread into other parts of the body. Stages II and III describe states in between these two extremes.
How do doctors determine what treatment will be necessary?
Your treatment will depend on the type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma you have, its stage, how quickly the cancer is growing, your age, and whether or not you have other health problems. Medical professionals, including pathologists, oncologists, and radiologists, use their combined experience and knowledge and recommend treatment options most appropriate for your condition It's important to learn as much as you can about your treatment options and make the decision that's right for you.
What kinds of treatments are available for non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
If you have slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma without symptoms, you may not need to undergo treatment right away. Instead, your physician will watch your health closely and begin treatment after symptoms begin. This approach is called watchful waiting.
If you have slow-growing lymphoma with symptoms, your physician may recommend chemotherapy and biological therapy. Physicians prescribe cancer-killing drugs delivered through oral or IV medicines, which can kill or slow the progression of tumor cells and reduce symptoms. These drugs are usually given in outpatient treatment cycles scheduled three or four weeks apart. The most common combination of drugs is called CHOP–cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), doxorubicin (Adriamycin), vincristine (Oncovin), and prednisone. Another common combination called CVP leaves out doxorubicin. Other chemotherapy drugs used to treat this cancer are chlorambucil, fludarabine, and etoposide.
Biological therapy activates the natural defenses of the immune system–or uses versions of natural substances made in the laboratory–to kill lymphoma cells and slow their growth. Pathologists may request and interpret a special laboratory test that helps the medical team to determine your cancer's likely response to specialized biologic therapies.
If the slow-growing tumor is in stage I or II, your physician may recommend radiation therapy–pinpointed high-energy beams that can shrink tumors or destroy cancer cells remaining after surgery. For fast-growing lymphomas, physicians often recommend a combination of chemotherapy and biological therapy and sometimes include radiation therapy.
If a non-Hodgkin lymphoma patient experiences a relapse or recurrence of the cancer after treatment, physicians may recommend high doses of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both followed by stem cell transplantation. In this procedure, lymphoma cells destroyed by cancer treatment are replaced by stem cells that produce healthy blood cells and help the bone marrow to recover.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and its treatment can lead to other health problems, such as anemia and infections. Drugs or blood transfusions are used to treat anemia, and your physician may prescribe antibiotics or other drugs to manage infections. Any infection you develop can be serious, and you will need treatment as soon as possible.
Complementary and alternative medicine approaches may contribute to healing by helping patients to manage stress and pain. These approaches include massage, behavioral therapy, meditation, and spirituality. Eating right and staying physically active are also very important, even though on some days you will feel tired and not have an appetite.
Patients should consider enrolling in a clinical trial, which tests new treatments. These treatments are experimental in nature but may be an option, especially for advanced cancers. Clinical trials for non-Hodgkin lymphoma may be found at www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials or by calling NCI's Cancer Information Service at 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237).
For more information, go to www.cancer.gov (National Cancer Institute) or www.cancer.org (American Cancer Society). Type the keywords non- Hodgkin lymphoma into the search box.
What kinds of questions should I ask my doctors?
Ask any question you want. There are no questions you should be reluctant to ask. Here are a few to consider:
- Please describe the type of cancer I have and what treatment options are available.
- What is the stage of my cancer?
- What are the chances for full remission?
- What treatment options do you recommend? Why do you believe these are the best treatments?
- What are the pros and cons of these treatment options?
- What are the side effects?
- Is your medical team experienced in treating the type of cancer I have?
- Can you provide me with information about the physicians and others on the medical team?
- If I want a second opinion, could you provide me with the names of physicians and/or institutions that you would recommend?
