JIM LEHRER: Now: the road ahead for health care reform.
Judy Woodruff has our story.
JUDY WOODRUFF: President Obama voiced hope today that his campaign for health care reform was nearing completion.
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I updated the Cabinet on the progress that we're making on the health insurance reform legislation that's moving its way now through the Senate, and reiterated the urgent need for us to get to the finish line.
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD, D-Conn.: Are there any senators who wish to vote or to change their vote?
JUDY WOODRUFF: It took a party-line vote Saturday night to squeeze past the latest obstacle. By 60-39, the Senate agreed to begin debate on Majority Leader Harry Reid's health care reform legislation.
It aims to extend health coverage to an estimated 31 million uninsured Americans, at a cost of $848 billion over the next decade. After the vote, Leader Reid acknowledged, he still has a lot of work to do.
SEN. HARRY REID, D-Nev.: The road ahead is a long stretch, but we can see the finish line. We have the momentum that's going to keep this process moving, I have no doubt.
JUDY WOODRUFF: In fact, Reid needed sweeteners just to get Democrats to move the bill this far, including $300 million in federal aid for Senator Mary Landrieu's home state of Louisiana. And Landrieu warned she might not support the bill in the end.
SEN. MARY LANDRIEU, D-La.: My vote today should in no way be construed as an indication of how I might vote.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Moderate Democrats holding the critical swing votes generally object to the concept of a public option.
Arkansas's Blanche Lincoln:
SEN. BLANCHE LINCOLN, D-Ark.: Let me be perfectly clear. I am opposed to a new government-administered health care plan as a part of comprehensive health insurance reform.
JUDY WOODRUFF: By Sunday morning, there were more signs of cracks in the Democratic coalition. Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," independent Democrat Joe Lieberman of Connecticut said he agreed to let debate begin, but vowed again he will not vote for a final bill that includes any new government-sponsored health insurance.
SEN. JOSEPH LIEBERMAN, I-Conn.: The public option in Senator Reid's bill will actually charge more for insurance than the average charge by health insurance companies. But I can tell you one thing I'm sure it will do. If we create a government insurance company, it's going to run a deficit. And it's only the taxpayers who are going to pay for it.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Still, New York Senator Charles Schumer and other Democrats insisted that, if anything, the public option needs to be strengthened.
SEN. CHARLES SCHUMER, D-N.Y.: So, you need to inject some competition into the insurance industry. The best way to do that is a public option. And the program that we have put together is set up by the government, but then it's on its own. There is no intent for it to compete unfairly against private insurance.
JUDY WOODRUFF: On the other side of the aisle, Republican senators promised their all to kill the bill. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke Saturday night.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL, R-Ky.: We're going to do anything and everything we can to prevent this measure from becoming law.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Democrats like Dick Durbin of Illinois shot back, they want Republican help, but said they will go it alone if need be.
SEN. RICHARD DURBIN, D-Ill.: We are going to move forward. After Thanksgiving, everyone will have had a chance to take a close look at this bill on the Internet. And we can start this debate. I hope it will be a meaningful one and a positive one, not a filibuster-loaded debate, where we really don't get down to the basics.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The Senate is scheduled to begin debate on the health care bill next Monday.
And now to help put that debate in context, we are joined by two former secretaries of health and human services. Donna Shalala served in the Clinton administration from 1993 to 2001. She is now president of the University of Miami and a professor of political science. And Michael Leavitt worked under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2009. A former three-term governor of Utah, he is founder and chairman of his own consulting firm.
Thank you, both, for joining us.
Donna Shalala, to you first.
Based on what you know now, do you believe that health care reform legislation is going to pass this year?
Why reform will pass
DONNA SHALALA: I do. I do because millions of Americans don't have health insurance. And we can't be competitive as a nation unless we have a very strong work force. So, I think we're going to get it, even if we have to do it just with Democratic votes.
My deep hope is that there will be bipartisan support in the end for the bill. But we're going to have a major debate. And that's good.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Michael Leavitt, what do you think the prospects are?
MICHAEL LEAVITT: Judy, I think something will pass.
What will actually be in it, we don't know yet. There's deep concern about the cost of this, deep concern about what it does to the health care of those who have insurance already. There's deep concern about the cost of it. I think we will have -- I agree with Donna Shalala -- I think we're going to see a substantial debate.
I think something will pass. I'm just not certain what will be in it. I don't think it will be as robust as the two bills that we're seeing right now.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Michael Leavitt, staying with you, what would health care look like in America if -- in this country -- if the bulk of this were to pass, become law?
MICHAEL LEAVITT: Every American needs to have affordable health insurance. That is not the debate here. The question is, how can we achieve that? So, I believe, if we had the ideal world that we would all like to see occur, we would see every American having an affordable, basic insurance plan.
We would also begin to see real debate on how to reform the system, how to change the system, so that what we do have is high value and better and more affordable as a cost element, and not breaking our country and making it impossible for us to do a lot of other things that we need to do in addition to health care.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Secretary Shalala, Michael Leavitt's essentially saying these are things that need to be done, but that's not what's being debated in this bill.
DONNA SHALALA: Well, the majority of the bill is about coverage.
And, first, you have to do coverage. It covers up to 94 percent of Americans will have health insurance, finally. There are some cost-containment measures. And, in fact, if we get more people covered, we will stop this cost shifting, the cost of those of us that have good insurance. That will help.
But Mike Leavitt is right. The next phase of health reform has to be moving from fee for service, for example, to other kinds of cost-containment measures. And Secretary Leavitt has spoken eloquently about things we need to do. This is a first step, an important first step. I believe the coverage first is the way to go.
Chances for a public option
JUDY WOODRUFF: Michael Leavitt, do you believe that some form of government-sponsored public health insurance option is going to survive here?
MICHAEL LEAVITT: In the long run, I do not.
I think that the American people don't want the federal government to be involved more in their lives, particularly their health lives. May I suggest I think Donna Shalala is correct, in that this debate started out about 50 million people who didn't have insurance. It's now become about the 250 million who do and the things that will occur to their insurance when we essentially put the entire system under the guidance of the federal government and increase the cost to everyone.
The debate has shifted away from just how do we care for those who don't have insurance to the impact that this law could have on those who do.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Donna Shalala, you agree with that?
DONNA SHALALA: I don't.
Two hundred and fifty million people with insurance are now getting deep government subsidies because their insurance is exempt from taxes. All we're saying here is, those that don't have insurance ought to have a way to get it. Eighty percent of them get up every day and go to work. We're talking about them and their families.
They tend to be low-income workers. They need subsidies. They need it in another way than using the tax system. They need direct subsidies to be able to purchase insurance. We believe that every American ought to have insurance. Mike and I both agree on that.
We also believe that we ought to have more cost containment. This is a terrific first step. I believe we're going to take that first step and that a lot of the debate is very much about coverage. We ought to reassure people, if they have good insurance, they're going to be able to keep it. But, right now, they're paying for all those people that don't have insurance. We ought to find a way to help those who don't have insurance.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Michael Leavitt, why isn't that the way to look at this?
MICHAEL LEAVITT: Secretary Shalala has indicated the things on which we agree. And there are many. We do need to have affordable insurance premiums for everyone.
The part that -- where we disagree is that we should go about it by changing the entire system in a way that would put radically more under the insurance of the federal government and increase the average cost of a family of four by $3,100. That's what the Senate bill would do.
And those who do have insurance would be paying dramatically more, and we would be doing nothing to deal with the real problem, the urgent problem, which is the escalating cost to all of us. And we could make certain that every American has access to an affordable insurance policy, and we could do it in a reasonably short time, if we deal with that problem, and not changing radically the entire system.
We need to deal with those who currently don't have insurance. And I believe we will have to have the government involved in doing that. And then we need to deal with the cost issues and make certain that the cost is coming down, because, the higher the cost, the fewer people that can afford it.
Infighting among Democrats
JUDY WOODRUFF: Donna Shalala, what about that? And while you're answering, why is this such a hard vote for some Democrats?
DONNA SHALALA: Well, there are Democrats that have honest disagreements with this bill. They may not like the public option. They may not like the level of subsidies -- the same on the Republican side.
I don't agree that this is going to cost those of us who have health insurance more. What will cost us more is if we don't cover everybody in this country. Unless we all participate in the health care system, there's no way in which we're not going to continue what's been happening.
Every time an American with health insurance goes to the hospital, they're paying for those who can't afford to pay. And we have to find a way to cover everyone. Once we do that, we will be able to take, I think, fairly dramatic steps to get some cost containment.
This bill does some of that already. Already, we have moved in an area that Mike Leavitt has been very eloquent on. And that is the I.T. systems, the health I.T. systems. We need to know what the numbers are, so we can analyze where we can contain costs.
Those of us that are employers need to do that every day. But, frankly, I can't afford the insurance that my employees want, because in that insurance is the cost of the uninsured. And, so, unless everyone has insurance, everybody steps up and is willing to pay something for insurance, we're not going to be able to get the kind of cost containment we expect.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Secretary Leavitt, you want to comment on her point about costs?
MICHAEL LEAVITT: Well, the number I was quoting, the $3,100, is drawn essentially from the CBO report that allocates how $850 billion would be spent. That money is being spent in some way.
It's either being allocated through premiums, or it's going to be allocated through taxes. And this bill would essentially take money away from those who are young and who are healthy, and give it to those who are not so young and who are unhealthy. And then it's going to put the federal government more in control of the whole thing and raise the costs for everyone.
There's a better way to approach this.
DONNA SHALALA: With all due re...
MICHAEL LEAVITT: We need to have...
JUDY WOODRUFF: Go ahead and finish, Secretary Leavitt.
DONNA SHALALA: Go ahead, Mike.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And then we will have Secretary Shalala comment.
DONNA SHALALA: Absolutely.
MICHAEL LEAVITT: Go ahead. I made the point.
DONNA SHALALA: Look, the whole essence of an insurance system is that those of us that are healthy and in many ways young pay now, so that, later on, we will be able to have the kind of coverage we need when we do get older and sicker.
So, it's absolutely true that young people will pay for insurance that they may not use. That's true in every employer's health insurance plan. It's true at the University of Miami, in which our younger workers barely use the insurance that they're paying for.
That's a fundamental philosophy of insurance. But it's also an American philosophy. Those of us that are younger and more able pay more, so that others who can't pay have equal opportunities. Health care ought not to depend on how old you are or where you grow up or what your income is. It ought to be available in the private sector -- I agree with Secretary Leavitt on that point -- in the private sector for every member of our society.
MICHAEL LEAVITT: And Judy, I would simply make the point we are in agreement on the essence of insurance and how risk is spread. But, when you turn it over to control of the federal government, this bill demonstrates, it just becomes substantially more expensive.
We're talking about spending nearly a trillion dollars in additional dollars to cover a relatively small group of people. We can do this and do it much less expensively, and we can do it in a way that will drive the quality up and the cost down, if we were to focus on quality and giving people information and making certain that everyone is covered.
The secretary and I agree on many points of this. The basic issues on which we disagree is the degree to which government needs to be involved and how much we can afford.
Chances for a bipartisan bill
JUDY WOODRUFF: Secretary Leavitt, I'm going to end with a political question.
And that is to both of you.
And that -- to you, it is, what do you think it will take to get some moderate Republicans -- or any Republicans, for that matter -- on board with this legislation?
MICHAEL LEAVITT: I believe bipartisan legislation is both possible and preferred.
But it will require that we have an honest debate, where Republican ideas are brought to the table, and a big national debate that includes many ideas. It's not unreasonable to expect that the party that has taken over Congress will charge the hill with all of the ideas that they have wanted to employ over the course of the last many years. What is, I think, unreasonable is to think that we would enact them all without a big and honest debate.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And political question to you, Secretary Shalala. What are the odds that that would happen?
DONNA SHALALA: Well, we have been -- the Democratic Party has been having a conversation with the Republican leadership in the committees for months and months and months.
With all due respect to my very distinguished colleague, who I agree with on most things related to health care, Senator Grassley and Senator Baucus and their colleagues have been talking for months, trying to get agreement in a bipartisan manner.
Unfortunately, they haven't been able to do that. I hope, the way Secretary Leavitt does, that this conversation will continue. There's no question in my mind that the Republican leadership will be heard, that individual senators will be heard, as this debate comes to fruition. And that's good for our country.
I like the way President Obama has conducted this process. I like the fact that it's been open and transparent, and there's going to be public debate on these issues. They're too important to do them behind closed doors.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we appreciate the conversation with both of you.
Secretary Donna Shalala, Secretary Michael Leavitt, we appreciate it.

Gentildonna seeks Breeders' Cup Turf berth in Takarazuka Kinen
Gentildonna, the 2012 Japanese Horse of the Year, makes her first start of the year in that country in Sunday's $2,834,639 Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin Racecourse, a turf marathon with a strong field of older horses.
Gentildonna won the 2012 Japanese Triple Crown for 3-year-old fillies and then beat males in the Japan Cup last November. In her only start this year, Gentildonna was second in the Sheema Classic in Dubai in March.
The Grade 1 Takarazuka Kinen is run over about 1 3/8 miles on turf and is part of the Breeders' Cup Win and You're In program, offering a fees-paid berth for the winner to the BC Turf at Santa Anita on Nov. 2.
Gentildonna is part of a field of 11 in the Takarazuka Kinen, challenged by Fenomeno and Gold Ship. Orfevre, second in the 2012 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Japan Cup, is a notable absence, having been withdrawn after bleeding in a workout earlier this month.
Fenomeno, a 4-year-old colt, was fifth in the Japan Cup last fall and won the Grade 1 Tenno Sho at Kyoto Racecourse on April 28. Gold Ship was fifth in the Tenno Sho, a loss that ended a four-race winning streak in Grade 1 and Grade 2 races in Japan since last September.

Companies expect varieties to be available for U.S. growers' use in 2009
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (December 11, 2007) — Thanks to the enterprising efforts and committed teamwork between Stine Seed Company and Bayer CropScience, U.S. growers can anticipate planting Stine LibertyLink® soybeans in 2009.
LibertyLink soybeans are being developed in high-yielding, strong-performing, elite germplasm that will be available from Stine Seed Company. This means growers can count on having access to varieties that have been adapted widely, and have demonstrated yield and agronomic performance as good as or better than the best available commercial checks.
"We are pleased to be taking a leadership position in the introduction of this outstanding seed-trait package," says Harry H. Stine, founder of Stine Seed Company. "Our joint efforts with Bayer CropScience ultimately will provide soybean growers with a larger selection of varieties available to help them maximize both yield and quality results."
Stine Seed Company, headquartered near Adel, Iowa, is an industry-leading seed company focused on developing and marketing the world's best performing corn and soybean seed. For nearly four decades, Stine's soybean research program has been regarded as a soybean genetics supplier of choice to the seed industry.
"We are truly privileged to be in partnership with Stine, which provides the industry with genetics that are known, respected and used throughout the United States," says Andy Hurst, Bayer CropScience product manager for LibertyLink soybeans.
Hurst says the Liberty/LibertyLink system will enable growers to enjoy similar benefits of Roundup Ready, labor, and equipment, as well as the ease, convenience and efficacy of over-the-top, non-selective, weed control. Liberty herbicide also has the added benefit of being a highly effective management tool for glyphosate-resistant or tolerant weeds.
"This technology will give growers another choice on how to manage their acres the way they want to, both now and in the future," Hurst says. "In addition, they can count on achieving high yields along with outstanding weed control. It's a winning combination."
For additional information about LibertyLink soybeans, growers can contact their local Bayer CropScience representative, or call 1-866-99-BAYER (1-866-992-2937). Soybean growers also can contact Stine Seed Company at 1-800-362-2510; or, at www.stineseed.com.

But fear not - there is plenty to explore...Shop all MTN Approach Shop sale MTN Approach
When you want to use your whole quiver of snowboards in the backcountry, but, like most people, you don't have an entire quiver of splitboards, the MTN Approach Skis & Backpack are your best bet. Unlike snowshoes, this ski/skin combo actually glides on the skin track, saving you energy and allowing you to take the same route as your two-plank backcountry buddies. At 113 mm underfoot, these fully cambered approach skis are wide enough to keep you from floundering in deep snow, while maintaining and edge on traverses and side-hills. When you reach the top take off the skis, fold them in thirds, and place them in the specially-designed pocket in the MTN Approach backpack; no need to fumble with detaching skins or reconfiguring iced-up splitboard bindings. And, at 2041 g, the MTN Approach set-up is barely noticeable on the descent. The most exciting feature about MTN Approach set-up is that it allows you to ride any board in the backcountry, so you aren't limited to expensive splitboards that don't ride as well as the rest of your quiver. If you're ready for a backcountry snowboarding revolution, hop on a pair of MTN Approach es and you'll see why more and more pros are turning to the MTN system for their backcountry needs. The deep winter kit also includes a pair of lightweight carbon touring poles and a lightweight stamped aluminum avalanche shovel.

I used our multi circle embossing folder for this card. I needed a quick wedding card and this is what I came up with for the happy couple.
Pearl Pen in Silver Chrome borders the overall card front. I like the Copic V04 marker color. I used it for the flowers on this one.
I distressed the background brick embossed design using my little
Pigment inks in Chestnut brown. Love that little guy! :) I like the burlap texture. I reminds me of a bird's nest. How fitting!
There are more ideas in our www.RaisinBoat.com idea Gallery here for the "Happy Together" stamp set.
Free as a Bird Stamp Set - a great coordinating set
"Happy Together" stamp set works really well with our recent release, "Free as a Bird." Here's a few ideas using this set, too.
More Silver Chrome Pearl Pen for the birdcage! Love the vine design in this set.
I used a Copic B02 to a Copic B00 to make the gradation of color for the background.
I had to get out my brayer for this background. I used Memento inks in Pear Tart, Bamboo Leaves and Dandelion to create the gradation of colors. Silhouette Designs scream brayer to me!
This is my favorite one. A little Bahama Blue brayered on the back with these
stunning silhouette images....add the flower and "ta-dah....Beauty!"
You can see all of the samples along with all of the products I used in our "Happy Together" section of the Idea Gallery and "Free as a Bird" section.
Both sets are now available and shipping at www.RaisinBoat.com. Have a great day! Smiles, Bobbi

A TEENAGE singer is using her talents to help raise money for terminally ill children.
Jenna Taylor, aged 16, from Bromley Cross, is organising a talent show in aid of Derian House Children's Hospice.
She is looking for people with a range of talents — including singers, dancers, magicians and actors — to showcase their skills at Rumworth Hall, Prescott Street, Daubhill, on Friday, April 4.
They will take to the stage in front of a panel of judges — retired professional football referee, Mark Halsey, and wife Michelle, former Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton, Alan and Denise Wilkinson, and dance teacher Anna Kinley.
About 15 people have already signed up to take part in the event but Jenna, a student at Bolton Sixth Form, is appealing for more people to enter.
Jenna, who has been singing since the age of 10, said: "We've got singers, solo dancers, group dancers, musicians.
"We're looking for more people to take part, as well as more people to come and actually watch.
"I'm singing on the night as well. We've got a big raffle going on with 50 to 60 prizes. There's all sorts going on."
She has already raised £190 by packing bags at Tesco, Little Lever, and all money raised will be donated to the Chorley hospice which provides care for many children and young people across the North West.
Jenna, who regularly busks in Bolton town centre, said: "I've been doing it for about a year.
"I just saw other people doing it and decided to start.
"I sing anything and everything. My favourite song to sing is At Last by Etta James.
"My ambition is to be an accountant but also do singing on the side."
Jenna's Talent Search, sponsored by Dove Bank Road Garage, Little Lever, LA Diner, Little Lever, Mobile 2K, Bolton town centre, and Craigmore Painting and Decorating, will take place at Rumworth Hall on Friday, April 4, at 7pm. Tickets cost £5 on the door.
If you would like to take part, phone Jenna on 07780 111448.

Loved this movie. So dark and compelling. Plus it has that yummy Clive Owen.

Visually stunning and thought provoking film that makes you question the plausibility of a future not too different than the film.

chad's recommendation
Somehow I hadn't seen this movie untill alst weekend -- I think it was maybe overshadowed by the plethora of really intense films in '06. However, this one is equally intense. You'll spend the entire film slightly anxious, uncomfortable and rooting for Clive. Definitely worth the watch.

Solve a Log-on Mystery
Q: Some time ago I had to use the recovery discs on my P4-based PC: My kids had filled it up with all kinds of crap, and it was misfiring. I must have done something wrong because every time I turn the computer on it gives me an error that it could not sign me in. The message reads, "The System could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case."
This message appears in front of the traditional log-on screen that requires the user to type a username and password. Once I click OK in the dialog box, I can log in. I have tried a lot of things, short of redoing the recovery, with no success.Mario Salazar
A: This can happen if the system is set to log on automatically to an account that no longer exists. To fix it, either set the system to log on automatically to an existing account or disable automatic log-on. Here's how. Click Start, click Run, enter control userpasswords2. Probably the box Users must enter a user name and password... is not checked; if that's the case, check it and click the Apply button. Now uncheck the box and click OK. When prompted, enter the username and password that should automatically log on at start-up. Or, to disable the automatic log-on, simply uncheck the box and click OK.

Bud Norris tossed eight shutout innings, while the Baltimore Orioles belted three home runs en route to a series opening 4-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Norris (5-5) was nothing short of remarkable on the mound as he had all three of his pitches working and was extremely efficient on the mound. At one point in the game Norris retired 13 straight Red Sox hitters and only one Boston player reached third base. In his eight innings of work, Norris allowed just three hits, three walks, struck out six and needed just 98 pitches to get through those eight frames.
He only faced one real jam on the night, which came in the sixth inning when he walked two of the first three batters of the inning to put men on first and second with one out, but he retired Xander Bogaerts and Dustin Pedroia to end the threat.
The eight innings matched a career high for Norris, and he became the first Orioles pitcher other than Chris Tillman to go eight or more innings.
Baltimore's offense scored all four of their runs courtesy of the long ball as Adam Jones got things started for the Birds in the first inning with a solo home run, the 150th of his career, for an early 1-0 lead. It was Jones' fourth home run this month and all four have gone to the opposite field, which is a tremendous sign from Adam.
Nick Markakis increased his hit streak to 14 games with a leadoff single in the first inning, but added a second hit later in the fifth inning when he absolutely unloaded on a hanging slider from Red Sox starter Jake Peavy (1-4) onto the flag court for a two run home run.
Lastly, Ryan Flaherty showed the power that so many believe he has when he smoked the first pitch he saw in the seventh inning over the right centerfield wall for a solo home run, his second of the season.
Baltimore recorded eight hits in the game, but they only came off of four Orioles' bats as Markakis (2-4, HR, 2 RBI), Jones (3-4, HR, RBI), and Flaherty (2-3, HR, RBI, 2 R) each had multi-hit games and Chris Davis recorded the first bunt single of his career when he dropped a bunt down against the shift. Davis's bunt single was also the 600th hit of his career.
Perhaps the best news is that the Orioles snapped their streak of five consecutive games with at least one error committed.
The Birds will look to secure the series win tonight as they send Chris Tillman (5-2) to the mound for the start against Boston's Brandon Workman (0-0) with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

Died: The Texas Rangers drafting a mission statement about the value of good spending habits.
Major league baseball is filled with shining moments and valuable lessons. Some, we should pass onto our children. This is not one of them. People have talked about how major league baseball has allowed a team (ehm, mess) in bankruptcy to actually spend more. Having the approval by a major corporation to spend more than you can pay would be one reason to scratch a new company mission statement about wise spending habits.
Died: The Yankees proving (once again) that they can pay too much for whatever they want
David Letterman's Lebronesque plea last week to have Albert Pujols traded to the Yankees didn't pan out to be anything. Yeah, of course, Letterman's been trying to get him on the show forever AND it just never synced with Albert's schedule.
Well, that explanation makes sense. Because, what's exactly on Albert's schedule when he's visiting New York that he doesn't have time to appear on Letterman? After all the attention he was getting in New York right before the trade deadline, without actually being a Yankee, the management started panicking. Everyone needs to be reminded at least once a year (and trade deadlines are opportune times for this sort of reminding) that the Yankees can spend a ton of money. So, they quickly acquired a whole bunch of players with fancy names. Experts agree these were good acquisitions but they failed and severely disappoint many, in the "using large amounts of unending wealth and paying too much for a player" category this year.
Died: trade deadline surprises
There was a lot of dumping. Many deals matched needs, but gone are the days of those fascinating, secret, hard to pull off trades. Remember way back when, before the days of tweetatextablackberry people? Days long ago, when rumors would quietly start around the ballpark about a trade that no one saw coming? The kind of trades that propel media types running back to their desks because they needed to dig up more information? Maybe all our tweetatextablackberry gadgets aren't the best means to make baseball more exciting. There's nothing that gets both fans and players excited than a GM pulling off a (good) down to the wire surprise.
Died: switching uniform attire for a Nationals first pitch ceremony
Sources are saying that a major deal fell through in the Nationals organization. It would have sent Miss Iowa to the pitching mound in a Nationals jersey and Mr. Batista to home plate in his Speedo. Let's all take a minute and thank Mike Rizzo for not making this deal happen. I'm not qualified to judge what Miss Iowa should be wearing, but I'm certain no one wants to see Miguel Batista in a Speedo.

HAY List's Newmarket Handicap win last Saturday could catapult him up the international ratings to claim the second-highest rating for an Australian sprinter.
Racing Victoria's general manager, Greg Carpenter, said he would submit to the international ratings panel that Hay List's rating of 122 be lifted to 126 after the horse carried the highest weight for more than 50 years to win the sprint race.
''I will be taking that figure with me to the international panel and if he is rated at 126 for the Newmarket win then that would make him the second-highest rated sprinter in the ratings behind Black Caviar at 132 and ahead of [Singapore-based, Australian-bred] Rocket Man at 125,'' Carpenter said.
He said he gave Hay List that mark after drawing a line through the Newmarket's runner-up, Buffering. ''I had Buffering running to about 117 [when third] in the Lightning Stakes and he ran up to that mark again in the Newmarket. Hay List gave him four kilograms and so that is about nine ratings points, which puts Hay List at 126.''
Hay List will continue his campaign in Melbourne in the group 1 $500,000 William Reid Stakes over 1200 metres at Moonee Valley on Friday week before he aims for group 1 races in Sydney then possibly Singapore or Brisbane.
■The European invasion of Australia's elite weight-for-age racing might yet be halted by a long-time ally, as plans are in place for New Zealand mare Scarlett Lady to conduct an eastern states raid herself this season.
The four-year-old, who was one-time Melbourne Cup favourite last spring before injury stopped her progress in September, has won both races from a spell at home and her trainer Graeme Rogerson said yesterday she posed the greatest threats to imports Americain and Manighar in the $2.25 million BMW Stakes at Rosehill next month.
Scarlett Lady is coming off a stirring group 1 New Zealand Stakes win at the weekend, where she proved to Rogerson that she was on target to produce her best when she is flown into Sydney next week for the group 1 Ranvet Stakes at Rosehill on March 24.
''She's got that much improvement to come from that run and there's no doubt she's over that injury and on her way,'' he said.
''She's a good horse, a very good horse, probably the best staying filly we've had for a while.''
Rogerson said the New Zealand Stakes win made a great impression on him. ''She was super and that form through her last run looks pretty good too, as the second horse [Veyron] had beaten King Mufhasa before he went over and won the Futurity [at Caulfield].''
Scarlett Lady earned early favouritism for the Caulfield and Melbourne cups last spring after a Queensland Oaks victory. It is planned for the mare to go from the BMW to either the Sydney Cup or Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick.
Along for the ride on Scarlett Lady is one of New Zealand's most promising riders. Apprentice James McDonald has won three of the four group 1s in New Zealand in recent weeks.

School lunches are a hot topic across the world: from British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's Feed Me Better campaign, to Two Angry Moms trying to improve school lunches in the US. Both are aiming to get junk food out, and bring whole foods in.
The situation is slightly different in The Netherlands, where children traditionally went home for lunch, and school cafeterias are an anomaly. These days, however, more and more Dutch children are �staying over' for lunch at school. Soda and chips are gaining ground, and childhood obesity is on the rise.
Two entrepreneurs came up with their own solution to the lunch problem: Lunch4Kids. Packaged like a McDonald's Happy Meal, each lunchbox contains sandwiches, a drink (milk or juice), a piece of fruit and a snack (yoghurt, a cookie, a baby cucumber, etc).
Parents order online, specifying which foods their youngsters will leave untouched, and anything they're allergic to. The lunchboxes are delivered to participating schools every morning, and invoices are sent directly to parents. This keeps things simple for schools: nothing to administrate or refrigerate.
Besides the obvious advantages of balanced meals and healthy variety, there's also a high convenience aspect to Lunch4Kids. Parents don't have to worry about what to pack, or panic if they've run out of fresh bread or juice boxes. According to parents who participated in the trial-run, this alleviates morning stress and makes breakfast a time to enjoy with their families.
Lunch4Kids was soft-launched at five primary schools over the past few months, and parents and schools aren't the only ones that like the concept. Large food brands, including Unilever and Danone, are itching to get in on the action. We can't blame them - this business idea incorporates some of the biggest and enduring trends around, from an obsession with health and craving convenience, to the power of design and customization/personalisation. Some yummie opportunities here!
We live in a world where technological innovation and global competition are increasing at a pace never before seen. Now is the time to invest in our children to make sure they are prepared to succeed
By Courtney Lynne I am an analyst by profession and trend researching is my passion. I also loves to share my knowledge. Get me on Google + and Twitter Find us on Google+
As parents, we all want our children to grow up to be responsible citizens and good people. We want them to learn to feel, think and act with respect for themselves and for other people. We want them
American children must be ready to learn from the first day of school, and of course, preparing children for school is a historic responsibility of parents. Test. It"s a loaded word. Important, someth

FREFIGHTERS are to press ahead with a series of fresh strikes this weekend after accusing the Government of provoking the action.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union in England and Wales will walk out for five hours from noon today, between 2pm tomorrow and 2am on Sunday, and between 10am and 3pm on Sunday in a long-running dispute over pensions.
The union said the strikes could be halted immediately by a revised pensions offer that "takes the evidence into account".
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: "It's purely the failure of the Government to present revised proposals that has led to these strikes.
"Now the Government is walking away from talks. It is utterly irresponsible.
"The FBU has never walked away from discussion and our members have been patient and measured in their approach. But we will not simply stand by while Government imposes a pension scheme that is totally unworkable, unaffordable, unsustainable and unfair."
A spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "It was the union executive's decision to call this strike that effectively ended its discussions with the Government.
"This shows the executive is not serious about finding a resolution for its members.
"The Government is clear that further change can be made through constructive engagement but not under the shadow of industrial action, which only serves to damage firefighters' standing with the public.
"The deal on the table gives firefighters one of the most generous pension schemes in all the public sector – and the proposals protect the earned rights of a higher proportion of members than any other public sector scheme. Nearly three-quarters will see no change in their pension age in 2015.
"Under the new scheme, a firefighter who earns £29,000 will still be able to retire after a full career aged 60, get a £19,000 a year pension, rising to £26,000 with the state pension. An equivalent private pension pot would be worth over half a million pounds and require firefighters to contribute twice as much.
"This weekend public safety is our prime concern and robust contingency plans are in place to keep people protected."

Bridgeville facility amps up physical therapy with virtual games
Sometimes physical therapy can be fun.
Residents at Country Meadows of South Hills Nursing and Rehabilitation Center often seem to forget that they are rehabbing when they use the OmniVR virtual rehabilitation system.
Made by Accelerated Care Plus, it features 20 games that can be adjusted to the needs of a specific resident, such as endurance, range of motion or cognitive skills.
"I think it has a lot to do with their mental states, as well, said Anita Kozel, program manager at the Bridgeville facility. "They are coming here because they have an orthopedic or acute need, and they want to be out of here as soon as possible. So anything that gives them the ability to not sit in the gym and do rote things over and over again is a plus. It enhances their plan of care here."
Pat Wilson, 75 of North Strabane, is learning nonweight-bearing activities after breaking her ankle in April. She played the ant game in which she sat and kicked the ants, while letting the butterflies live.
Not only does the system pick up her motions to make sure she gets a full range of motion, it allows Wilson to use her cognitive skills to distinguish the different insects.
"When I came in here I couldn't hop," Wilson said. "Now, I hop all the time over to the therapy room and back again. I have to become independent. The kicking of the ants was a little strange for me. I didn't know you needed to get your legs all the way back to the green. It really gets your legs going."
Similar to a Wii game system, the virtual system does not use a remote controller and reacts in real time. Physical therapists can gauge progress with the amount of accuracy calculated at the end of the activity.
There even is healthy competition when family members come to visit. The OmniVR system can be set for multiple participants to play against each other.
"A lot of what we have seen and what we try to strive for is residents vs. family members that are visiting so that they have that ability to play competitive games with their grandchildren or their daughter," Kozel said. "It doesn't seem as much as they are getting a workout as their just doing a fun activity."
The camaraderie in the therapy room is obvious between the residents and physical therapists when people are playing the interactive games, whether it is "standing bingo" or trying to grab the grapes for the fox.
"The OmniVR is just a great addition, but if you don't have someone engaging you in a fun manor, even this doesn't have quite the impact that it does when you have the people that work with them that are really excited for them and encouraging them to do normal activities," said Melissa Marchitello, marketing relations.
"We want to provide the type of environment that encourages people to get well."

Module heading to Punchestown
Trainer Tom George hopes Module can enhance his reputation at the Punchestown Festival.
Last Updated: 17/04/14 11:45am
Already the winner of the Game Spirit Chase at Newbury this season, the seven-year-old ran a career-best in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham when third behind Sire De Grugy and Somersby.
Everything looked in place for a big run in the Melling Chase at Aintree but he was unable to take his place.
"It was very strange, he was fine an hour before the race and an hour after racing but he just had a bit of tummy ache," said George.
"It's never happened to one of my horses before. It wasn't down to the travelling, he just started sweating up and wanting to roll and was grabbing at the ground. It would be just like a human getting it.
"I've been very happy with him at home since, though, and I'm taking him to Cheltenham just to get him away in the box so his last memory of it isn't a bad one.
"It's just to make sure he is fine with it all, but everything he has done at home since suggests there's no lasting effects.
"He'll be entered for Sandown, too, but Punchestown is our preference."

Summer Colour With Eugene Higgins
Monday, 30 April 2007
Landscaping legend Eugene Higgins has the perfect plants and shrubs for your garden this summer.
Mimulus €2.95 for 6 (these are summer bedding plants)
A very bright flowering annual that is shade loving and early blooming. It is sometimes called "monkey flower" from its spotted, funnel shaped flowers said to resemble the grinning face of a monkey. A colourful, easy to grow addition to those hard to landscape shady areas. Ideally, you should start seeds indoors in pots 6 to 8 weeks before last frost, do not cover seed. Press into soil and water carefully by misting. Seed can also be sown directly outdoors after last expected frost. Transplant indoor started seedlings to 8 inches apart after danger of frost has passed. Keep rich soil fairly moist. It can also be grown indoors as a house plant or repotted prior to frost and brought inside. Do not let plants dry out. A great choice for containers. Indoor started seed will bloom very early combining well with pansies and primroses.
New Guinea Busy Lizzies €4.95 each (also known as Impatiens)
Impatiens, busy lizzie or patience, is an annual flower with nonstop blossoms in many colors. It has a tidy, mounding form and self-cleaning flowers that make it an ideal low-maintenance plant. Flowers are white, pink, rose, orange, scarlet, burgundy, and violet, with many bicolored variants. Sow seeds 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost date. Germination takes 10 to 20 days at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a sterile soil mix, because young impatiens seedlings are subject to damping off. A fungicide is recommended. Cuttings root in 10 to 14 days. Impatiens will grow in any average soil and prefers dappled shade. It requires lots of moisture and fertilizer to bloom well. In deep shade, bloom diminishes.
Geranium €4.95 each
Annual geraniums are popular for their wide range of brilliant flower color and attractive leaves. They can be grown as bedding plants and in containers on decks and patios, in hanging baskets, or in window boxes. There is great variation in leaf, flower and growth habit of geraniums. Geraniums need at least four hours a day of direct sunlight in order to flourish and flower well. Plant geraniums outdoors after all danger of frost is past and the soil has warmed. Water abundantly after planting, and continue to water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. Never allow the plants to wilt or the leaves will turn yellow and drop off. Keep water off the foliage because moist foliage favors the development of disease. Mulch the bed to maintain moisture levels and keep the soil cooler in summer.
Soil for geraniums should be well-drained. Geraniums respond well to fertilizer and are stunted and yellowed if not provided enough nitrogen. Mix the fertilizer into the soil well. Take dead flowers off the plant to prolong flowering. Pinch to encourage well-branched, full plants.When growing geraniums in containers, choose large pots to hold enough soil for a good root system, and to contain enough water to prevent wilting. Repot into larger containers if they grow so large that they wilt frequently. Select containers with adequate drainage holes, plant in a well-drained soil mix and do not allow pots to sit in water.
Osteospermum €4.95 each (Cape Daisy)
Osteospermums are relatively new to most gardeners, and were almost unheard of 25 years ago. They have risen in popularity in the last decade as they have become more commercially available. Osteospermums have now become very popular as summer bedding plants, either to put in the border or in pots. Osteospermums need a sunny aspect, so always plant in a sunny border. They also thrive in a pot on a sunny patio. Water regularly to avoid the plants from drying out. Keep well watered, especially the first two weeks after planting. For best results, feed your Osteospermums on a weekly basis with a general fertilizer such as phostrogen. This will help promote flowering. Remove wilted flowers on a regular basis which will prolong flowering. It is alright to take off part of the flower stem to tidy up the plant. Cutting back Osteospermums won't harm them. On the contrary. They will grow new fresh side shoots in no time.
Nemesia €4.95 each
Nemesias have very dainty flowers that look good in containers. They grow as attractive blocks of colour at the edge of window pots, baskets and in borders. There are plenty of colour choices, so they are useful aides to garden design. The usual colour for nemesias is blue, but there are several varieties from which to choose, including white, lavender, yellow, purple and red, often with two or three colours in the same petals. Belonging to the foxglove family they have flowers that are attractive to some insects. If you want lots more flowers, then pinch out lead shoots regularly and wait for the side shoots to flower. Nemesias can be grown from seed, or cuttings can be made in late summer. They like damp and sunny conditions, simulating their natural coastal habitat from South Africa.
Bacopa €4.95 each
The Bacopa is an instant hit with gardeners with beautiful white flowers. Sutera hybrids are incredibly vigorous and versatile. Its "living carpet" growth is unbeatable for filling those inevitable bare spots and spicing up small pots. Keep the plants well watered in the heat of the summer to encourage bud development. This plant can also be a perennial in warmer zones.
Exochorda €9.50 (The Bride)
There are several Exochorda species, all very beautiful Chinese shrubs when in flower. They need some shelter from late spring frosts, which can scorch the young foliage, and most cannot tolerate a lot of lime in the soil. This plant is a garden hybrid between two of the best species, and is usually grown in the form 'The Bride', a more compact and shapely plant than the hybrid. They are deciduous shrubs growing to 2-4 m tall. The leaves are paddle-shaped oval, 3-9 cm long, with an entire or bluntly serrated margin. The flowers are white, with five petals, produced in spring on the ends of the branches. The fruit is a dry follicle which splits apart to release the flattened seeds.
Scabiosa €8.95 (Perennial)
Cornflower like flowers. The name Scabiosa is derived from scabies, itch; in regard to the plant's supposed properties of curing irritation of the skin. These plants have upright growth, 2 to 3 feet in height. Their leaves are coarsely toothed, growing up to 4 inches long. They grow mostly at the base of the plant. The fragrant flowers are 2 to 3 inches across and are domed with stamens, resembling miniature pincushions. They come in reddish purple, pink, salmon, rose, or violet blue. Picking off the dead flowers increases bloom. These plants will do best in deep, rich soil. On soil that is heavy, they are likely to die during the winter.
All of the above are summer/house plants that can grow outside.

Update: I'm now legally married. Might as well save you the trouble. Yes, this means you, Mr. Looking for Teh Sex on the Internets. If you are (astonishingly) trolling for intellectual conversation, then by all means message me.
My new personality test result makes me laugh. A lot.
I have eaten with chopsticks since the age of eight; I am completely incompetent with a fork.
My hair is so long I can sit on it. This comes from my laziness about cutting it and my hobby of spinning exotic wood hairpins on my minature lathe. I have insurance on my power tools, of which there are many, and none on my jewellery, of which there is none. Lee Valley rocks my socks, and my wallet. And my free time. My lathe is gathering rust because I have no space fit to enjoy my hobby, which makes me bitchy. And you thought sexual frustration makes a woman cranky. Take away her power tools? Issues.
My genetic makeup is Scottish. This a less wordy and awkward way of explaining that my hair wants to kick your ass, and the only time it and I get along is when I'm drunk. On the increasingly rare occasions that I am, I have been known occasionally to throw boors a whupping. If you just slapped my ass, this includes you. On said occasions, my hair rears up to threaten mayhem and lashes through the air like Medusa's snaky companions; I take no responsibility for any damage to nearby persons.
I began to read Shakespeare at nine. I was raised without television. I value learning more than skill. Knowledgeableness is hot. Regale me with your tales of membrane formation in frog spawn! (Or whatever it is that you know. Bonus points for big words out of which I can pick the Greek roots. Rawr!)
I am feisty, brazen, and serene
At the moment, I am probably expiring from boredom by degrees as I wait for federal permission to have a life.
Sometimes they notice they've just earned exasperated scorn; if you want to make a Canadian instantly hate your ignorant, offensive ass, please go ahead and make that irresistible joke about 'aboot' so we can identify you as someone incapable of hearing the diphthong and a jackass to boot.
The movies I like are totally irrevelant. Often something violent, but visually inclined, with no pretensions to 'plot'. Plot in two hours or less? Please. If I wasn't leery of appearing pretentious, I'd admit to Lars and the Real Girl, Angel-a, Secretary, Dancer in the Dark, The Tango Lesson, and maybe Hero if I thought someone had an appreciation of design used as a silent narrative. And that, dear reader, is why I don't talk about my movie preferences, because it just comes out all wrong.
This too is totally random. Massive Attack. Rufus Wainwright makes me glad I'm not a gay man, because that would get ugly fast. Lisa Gerrard. Peter Gabriel. Anything with a beat primitive enough for dancing.
If it is Asian and it doesn't look like the animal it came from, I'll eat it. Especially sushi. Also, anything my partner cooks, because it's better than I could have made and best of all, I didn't.
Generally, I spend a lot of time thinking about why people interact the way they do, and what makes a person focus on the mundane instead of devoting only the necessary portion of their heads to the fine details of living and filling the rest of the space with ideas.
I also spend a lot of time wondering how to tell one from the other without just asking a potentially rude question.
Sometimes their eyes glaze over in shock regardless, which tickles me fiercely because if I'd said I met my husband after we both woke up from a drunken one-night stand and had to re-introduce ourselves to one another, that would be less shocking.
Lastly, if you're from Lubbock and are fundamentally bewildered by how the hell you ended up on essentially another planet.

In the latest celeb sex tape imbroglio, chanteuse Jennifer Lopez is trying to prevent her former husband from selling to internet porn sites intimate home video footage taken on the couple's honeymoon.
Two years ago J.Lo won a permanent injunction that prohibited the footage from her two-month marriage in 1998 being released as part of a planned TV project of her first husband, former Miami waiter Ojani Noa.
However last month a judge ruled that the injunction did not interfere with Noa or his business partner's livelihoods, so now he is seeking to appeal the most recent decision on the footage.
His manager, Ed Meyer, claims to have received offers "in the millions" from officials at top porn sites - if he can free up the film.
J.Lo is back in court fighting to keep her privates private but legal associates of her former husband insist the video was not technically a "sex tape" even though it reportedly features scenes of nudity.
Not so modest, Paris Hilton surprised few when she stripped naked for the cameras in the first episode of her new reality TV show.
The hotel heiress, who previously starred in small screen shows such as The Simple Life and Paris Hilton's My New BFF, returned to TV in a new fly-on-the-wall series called The World According to Paris.
The 30-year-old was shown soaking in a bubble bath, covering her breasts with one arm, and lathering up and washing her hair.

CDK6 gene
cyclin dependent kinase 6
The information on this page was automatically extracted from online scientific databases.
From NCBI Gene:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) family. CDK family members are highly similar to the gene products of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cdc28, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc2, and are known to be important regulators of cell cycle progression. This kinase is a catalytic subunit of the protein kinase complex that is important for cell cycle G1 phase progression and G1/S transition. The activity of this kinase first appears in mid-G1 phase, which is controlled by the regulatory subunits including D-type cyclins and members of INK4 family of CDK inhibitors. This kinase, as well as CDK4, has been shown to phosphorylate, and thus regulate the activity of, tumor suppressor protein Rb. Expression of this gene is up-regulated in some types of cancer. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
From UniProt:
Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in the control of the cell cycle and differentiation; promotes G1/S transition. Phosphorylates pRB/RB1 and NPM1. Interacts with D-type G1 cyclins during interphase at G1 to form a pRB/RB1 kinase and controls the entrance into the cell cycle. Involved in initiation and maintenance of cell cycle exit during cell differentiation; prevents cell proliferation and regulates negatively cell differentiation, but is required for the proliferation of specific cell types (e.g. erythroid and hematopoietic cells). Essential for cell proliferation within the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles. Required during thymocyte development. Promotes the production of newborn neurons, probably by modulating G1 length. Promotes, at least in astrocytes, changes in patterns of gene expression, changes in the actin cytoskeleton including loss of stress fibers, and enhanced motility during cell differentiation. Prevents myeloid differentiation by interfering with RUNX1 and reducing its transcription transactivation activity, but promotes proliferation of normal myeloid progenitors. Delays senescence. Promotes the proliferation of beta-cells in pancreatic islets of Langerhans. May play a role in the centrosome organization during the cell cycle phases (PubMed:23918663).
From NCBI Gene:
- Primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 12
From UniProt:
Microcephaly 12, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH12): A form of microcephaly, a disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age-related mean. Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small. [MIM:616080]
Cytogenetic Location: 7q21.2, which is the long (q) arm of chromosome 7 at position 21.2
Molecular Location: base pairs 92,604,921 to 92,836,627 on chromosome 7 (Homo sapiens Annotation Release 108, GRCh38.p7) (NCBI)

New Line Snags Rights to Richard Doetsch's The Thirteenth Hour
by Alex Billington
September 9, 2008
New Line Cinema has acquired rights to "The Thirteenth Hour", a novel written by Richard Doetsch due out on bookshelves sometime next year. The book was described as a cross between The Bourne Identity and The Time Traveler's Wife, and follows a man accused of brutally murdering his wife who is given a chance to save her by going back in time, in one-hour increments. He puts together clues to figure out not only who killed her but why. The project is being produced by Michael De Luca, of Zathura and 21 recently, and doesn't have a screenwriter or director attached just yet. De Luca enthusiastically explained that "it has a great cinematic structure that unfolds in reverse," somewhat like Christopher Nolan's Memento.
The reason why I'm featuring this announcement today is because this movie sounds like it has the potential to be something great. The concept is quite high profile and should fit perfectly with a sci-fi director that can truly realize its potential. I love the two references, Bourne Identity and Time Traveler's Wife, and can't wait to see who they end up getting both as a screenwriter and director for this. I'm not familiar with Doetsch's previous work, but a lot of people seem to be a fan of his books, which may be a very good sign. I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed and will remain hopeful that The Thirteenth Hour turns into a project that continues to look as good as I'm imagining it will at the moment. Thoughts?

Tbilisi, Georgia, April 24
By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:
Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili received U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Melia on April 23.
The sides discussed intensifying the cooperation within the Georgian-U.S. Strategic Partnership Charter, the democratization process and the situation in the sphere of human rights protection, as well as future plans, the presidential administration told Trend. They also talked about the freedom of the media.
Particular attention was paid to the regional issues, in particular, the processes in the region, the influence of Russian policy and Georgia's important role in the region in the political, economic, transport and energy spheres.
The local elections in the context of intensifying the democratic consolidation, political stability and enhancing the credibility for democratic rule were among the main topics of the meeting.
Georgia's actions made towards European and Euro-Atlantic integration were stressed. The parties discussed the signing of the association agreement and the further action plan, as well as the prospect of free trade with Europe.
The U.S. side reiterated its support for Georgia.

Pleasant Hills keeps Night Out tradition
For 20 years, Pleasant Hills has marked a night out each summer with a 15-mile parade through borough streets and a slew of neighborhood block parties.
"This is probably the most extensive, longest parade in Allegheny County," retiring Mayor Warren Bourgeois said. "And people love it. We travel two hours throughout the borough and people stand out in the driveway and they're happy."
The borough has invited residents to continue the tradition by joining police and the Public Works Department, Pleasant Hills Volunteer Fire Co., Baldwin EMS and American Legion Post 712 on Tuesday from 7:30-9:30 p.m. to take a stand against crime, drugs and violence.
"Lock your doors, turn on the lights and come outside and meet with other people in your neighborhood," police Chief Ed Cunningham said.
"If you as a resident decide to have a little party with your friends and neighbors, you call the police department and we will send an officer to your party," Bourgeois said.
The phone number to register is 412-655-5045.
While half a dozen officers attend the parties, others on the 20-member force will take part in the procession or conduct traffic control.
"Our officers visit the block parties so you get that one-on-one relationship between the police and the community," said Cunningham, a 37-year veteran of the Pleasant Hills force, its chief since 2007 and one of five borough officers slated to retire this year.
As per its tradition, the borough will have its event one week before the National Association of Town Watch's 30th annual National Night Out.
"We do that so the other municipalities can be able to take part in ours," Cunningham said. "In turn, we can go to theirs."
Cunningham said his officers have accepted invitations to take part in the parade at Elizabeth's Riverfest, run by volunteer firefighters.
Bourgeois said he has seen every one of his town's nights out as a councilman and in his four terms as mayor.
"You get to see parts of the borough that you don't normally see," he said. "The biggest thing is the reaction of the people. You will see people waving American flags and so forth."
The night out has grown over the past two decades.
"It was relatively small," Cunningham recalled about the first event. "We had 36 units in the procession and there were 10 block parties. It has grown to about 150 units and almost 30 block parties."
"Procession" may describe the parade best. It is not an event with marching bands, or any marchers at all.
"It's all police, fire and EMS and then military," Cunningham said. "And occasionally we will get some specialized vehicles in there."
Bourgeois said numerous events throughout the year link the police department with the community. Other examples are the annual Christmas party and outreaches to local schools.
"It shows there is someone behind the badge who actually cares about them," Cunningham said. "It really is heartwarming."
Next year, Bourgeois and Cunningham may be among those watching the procession. Council may name a new chief by year's end and former Councilman Robert S. Bootay III is unopposed on both major party ballots in the fall to succeed Bourgeois.
"I think I will take the same pleasure the next year and the year after that because of the legacy," Bourgeois said.
