Why is it that strong and educated First Ladies like Michelle Obama seem to have a harder time getting women to warm up to them?
I saw the same treatment of Hillary Clinton. You rarely hear much negative feedback about most first Ladies. Is it that we want them to be the "little woman", not someone strong enough to run the country in their own right?
Not being a woman I can't give a valuable opinion to your first paragraph but I do have a thought from a male perspective.
I think some men still have a hard time seeing women as equals so they don't pay much attention to them, which is sad.
Many First Ladies take up very good causes and, political affiliations aside, they should be applauded for their efforts.
I think some people also realize that they are in this spot because of their husbands' political career, not necessarily by their choosing so they are given a pass, most of the time.
Michelle Obama has gotten some criticism but it is usually her choice for a vacation location or eating a cheeseburger.
I have read snide remarks from women that is why I asked the question, but after your reply I looked on the web and was surprised just how often and how tastelessly men have attacked her... These are from the far right, but I never heard this kind of remark about neither Mrs Busch from the left. I guess there are men who are so threatened by strong women it brings out the macho bully in them.

I was certainly no fan of Dubya and his policies but I give Laura Bush credit for her work on literacy.
I give Laura Bush credit for her work on W.
Only wish she were a bit stronger and more dominant.
Silvie, The first ladies are fine as long as they stay in "their place", areas distinctly outside the political arena. Ms Clinton and Obama are highly educated women that do and have the capacity to do much more than darn socks. Let's celebrate their contributions.
Hi Credence,
Great to see you again. Hope life in Paradise is going well.
I think you are right about them staying in their place and I do celebrate their contributions and am a fan of both women.
What will make this a really interesting question to me is how women will perceive a man in this role and how he will be treated.
Racism aside, Mrs. Obama is a much more people friendly person than Hillary Clinton or any of the other first ladies. Michelle will get out there and mix it up with people and she seems to have great fun doing it. To lump her in with the others is grossly unfair.
Lumping her with Hillary is not meant to be a negative. In fact it reinforces the fact even though she is friendly and outgoing some women do not warm up to her and I believe it is because she is educated and strong.
Both HC and MO have had the audacity to publicly question or criticize things conservative Americans hold dear.
Hillary's comment about "I suppose I could have stayed at home and baked cookies" set a lot of people's hair on fire (probably not as many as would have been had she burned the cookies, right?).
Many Americans want their wives/mothers to stay at home and raise the kids.
Michelle's comment about this being the first time in her adult life she was proud of America became another anti-Obama rallying cry. They HATE America. They want to DESTROY America. THey don't think America is EXCEPTIONAL. Blah, blah, blah.
Both first ladies have done extraordinary things through the office of FLOTUS. And HC, subsequently in the Senate and as SOS.
Why spend time apologizing for being strong and well educated when you can use your talents and skills to improve the lives of others.
Haters gonna hate them no matter what they do. I don't know that it's jealousy so much as mistrust and a little cultural xenophobia. "She's not like me." (Wheras Sarah Palin the hockey mom, is. )

I was reading Matt Cutts blog about Google Chrome. He is the public face of Google and has been doing great job keeping it that way. This blog (Ten things I don't like about Google Chrome) was a good proof of that.
After reading his blog and seeing comments, I wanted to add my negative views about Chrome:
–Google Chrome might claim memory usage improved. I normally work with over 10 tabs at a time and when I open Google Chrome with 17 tabs (right now) it is using:
Pysical Memory: 385 MB
Virtual Memory: 430 MB
This is a real life usage of Chrome and total memory of 815 MB / 17 = 50 MB per page doesn't really look optimum to me.
I recently optimized Firefox 2, applied the tweaks offered on websites. It started doing great job. I have all the toolbars and addons that give me great flexibility as well. Even Maxthon is far better then this memory usage. I say "even Maxthon" because it is based on Internet Explorer 6 and we know how extravagant Microsoft when it comes to memory and disk usage.
Seeing I was able to improve a lot with Firefox 2, another question comes to mind, why act arrogant and start a brand new project, make a new department and hire lot of engineers while you can be great help to improve Firefox? an ON-GOING, OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM…
-Chrome uses lot of disk space for caching. All the images on 'Most visited' page is stored in BMP format (or somewhere close that) each of those screenshots take about 1 Mbyte. After I used couple of days, when I checked cache disk usage it was almost 1 Gbyte.
I had cleaned Chrome folder and just fired up after I saw this thread:
12/11/2008 11:34 PM 25,989,120 History Index 2008-10
12/11/2008 11:15 PM 16,547,840 History Index 2008-11

12/17/2008 11:27 AM 30,412,800 Thumbnails
I couldn't find any place to change Cache settings so I am stuck with Google Chrome's high disk usage.
-URL section is TERRIBLE. It might be a strategic idea for Google to combine URL section with Google Search Engine as default and capture more data from users. I changed that to just use history but even that when I try to find 'typed url' it takes forever because I have to delve into all my historical crap and find the one I'm looking for.
-Another bad thick with URL section is that if you type something wrong, it remains there. You are stuck with that thereafter, you can't remove it, clean it but have to live it till it gets overwritten.
I haven't found any good addons for Google Chrome that will help my browsing experience. So far best part of Google Chrome is rendering speed. It has been doing great job with Ajax based javascript heavy loaded websites.
So final word is Google Chrome has achieved to get %2-3 of web browser portion in very short time but still lots to go and I am very reluctant to use unless above issues get fixed in new releases.

Maungati sixth hole runs in the Arras family
John Arras has ticked off every golfer's dream of a hole in one - although he didn't quite see it.
Mr Arras, 81, of Timaru, has been perfecting his swing for nearly 40 years and last Saturday on the sixth hole at Maungati Golf Club he pulled off a hole in one.
"It was just one of those flukey shots. I can't see the ball from a certain distance but everyone else saw the ball drop in."
He sent a text to his son Ross who has also had a hole in one at the sixth.
"I was cooking my tea and he rang to congratulate me."
Mr Arras has been playing golf since the late 1970s.
"I'm 81 so it's compulsory exercise for me. I try to get out and play twice a week. I don't think about it [getting a hole in one] too much, but when you are on a par three you strive to get a close one."

….Only total reconciliation can make PDP win Anambra
By Gbenga Oke
Chief George Moghalu was one of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) aspirants in the forthcoming Anambra 2010 governorship election.
In this Interview with Vanguard, he spoke on various issues as they affect PDP in the state. He said PDP must come together under one umbrella if its campaign towards winning Anambra is to be a huge success just as he urged that true reconciliation is the only way of bringing back the aggrieved members of the party presently in court.
According to him, "I expect and I am being very honest about it that everybody must be reconciled in the interest of the party ahead of the election because egos has been bruised and in situations like this, you must stoop to conquer. As a party, every member must stoop to conquer if we must win the electionâ€.
He advised Nigerians to give the leadership of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC the benefit of doubt in the forthcoming election. Excerpts :
As a stakeholder in Anambra politics, how would you assess the situation on ground especially in your party, the PDP where it appears all is not well?
First of all, let us look at the position of Anambra as a state, the position of Anambra in Igbo polity, the position of Anambra in national politics. If you look at it from all these angles and see what has been happening in the state since this democratic dispensation began in 1999, it's been very worrisome, in the sense that both the actions and inactions of the political leaders in the state have over-heated the polity, creating divergent impressions depending on who is assessing the situation and from which angles these assessments are being made.
So, it calls for great concern because a lot of people and observers see Anambra as a state that should set the precedence, that should set standard, that should lead while other South-Eastern states follow. And when you look at the fact that the the state has resources, potentials and human capital, it gives one greater concern to worry. So, I am not too excited about what is happening, I am not too happy being an Anambarian and being a major stakeholder in the state, I am very concerned.
Apart from praying for Anambra, because I believe God controls the affairs of men, we are also consulting other stakeholders. The mistake we often make is that people assume that it is only politicians that are stakeholders. This is not right. Everybody in the state is a stakeholder including business men, students, labour leaders, even house-wives; no matter how you look at it we all have a stake in Anambra.
But then, we must continue to do a lot of this consultation we are doing now, to reach out to as many people as we can for us to come together to salvage the ugly situation so that each and everyone one of us that is a stakeholder can come together and save us from this embarrasment.
Up till now, some of the aspirants are still in court fighting the candidacy of Soludo. What does this portend for the party in the state and do you foresee this affecting the fortunes of the party at the forthcoming election?
The position of the National Working Committee in the state has been made clear to us that Charles Soludo remains the candidate of the party in the forthcoming election and the Chairman, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor re-emphasised it at the campaign that took off in Onitsha. Having said that, I cannot claim ignorance that there are cases pending in court regarding the issue of the candidacy of the party; who is the candidate of the party and who is not the candidate of the party.
In this case, I believe very strongly that power comes from God and he gives power to whoever he desires. Having said that, we are in a situation whereby there is total collapse of the private sector; so everybody now sees government as business which is most unfortunate and in this case, everybody wants a position, no matter at what level.
So, we should not foget the fact that because PDP is in majority in most of the states and is controlling the central government and for the fact that PDP has been in government in Anambra in the past, there is a desire or the belief by everybody that once you have the PDP ticket, every other thing shall be added unto it. So, that feeling, either rightly or wrongly propelled a lot of people to show their interests. Also, I can boldly say up to 70 to 80 percent of elite in the state belong to the PDP.
So one will expect that because of this level of membership of the political elite, this will also increase the number of the people that aspire to positions. There is also an avalanche of people even when it comes to local government or councillorship offices because a lot of people are interested.
Also, in politics, you cannot control expectations, you have to allow people to express themselves and that was why when we indicated interest, over 50 people collected the PDP nomination forms to be governor. But, the truth about it is that, 50 of us cannot be governors at the same time, it is only one person.
Now, the party has taken a decision and other aspirants who felt cheated or felt the process by which the candidate was thrown up or emerged is not suitable for them, decided to challenge it. Some are in court already while some are being dialogued with.
But I expect and I am being very honest about it that everybody must be reconciled in the interest of the party ahead of the election because egos have been bruised and in situations like this, you must stoop to conquer. As a party and candidate, everybody must stoop to conquer if we must win the election because I am worried about our party suffering an internal problem; we working against ourselves and there is an adage that says "a house divided against itself cannot standâ€.
So we need to do everything humanly possible to reconcile these aggrieved members even if it means using the sense of humility, to plead, to beg, to reconcile ourselves so that we can totally work as a team to contest the election. One thing I do know in politics is not to under-estimate the power of other parties. As it is, there are other 20 political parties that have lined up their various candidates.
We cannot say because we are PDP, these people do not exist. No, I do not like that. I would rather say I would consider everyone even the least of the political parties, I will consider them very important. The only time I can say I have succeded is when the election result has been declared in my favour; that is my political attitude. My approach to it is that, we must do everything possible as a party to seek for total reconciliation because even if we win, we need that reconciliation to run the state properly.
But it seems nothing has really being achieved through efforts to  bring back the aggrieved party members ?
I would say yes, the reconciliation has started because I am aware that our leader in the South-East, Olisah Metu has set up a reconciliation committee and I think that committee has the support of the National leadership. Apart from that, I think the candidate himself is a technocrat, and also has some political background. They have to go to the point to win back any aggrieved person because what you must understand about any aggrived person is that, he has reasons to justify his position and once ego comes in, it becomes more vicious. So, I will want to say that, even if it means massaging people's ego, even if it means begging, we should all come together as a party.
Having said that, there was this statement credited to the chairman of the party, Vincent Ogbulafor that any aggrieved aspirant who does not support the candidacy of Soludo should leave the party. It seems this statement does not go down well with some aspirants and that is why they have continued to challenge Soludo at the court. From your point of view, should such a statement have been made, especially, when wounds have not been healed?
No, I wouldn't support that. I would always toe the path of peace. Asking them to go away may not be the solution. I would rather convince them to stay rather than tell them to leave the party. It is not in our interest because no matter how in-cosequential anybody can be, they also have their followers no matter how small. It is easier to destroy than to build.
With the way PDP leadership has handled this cases so far, it seems the crises is far from over because one of the arrow heads in the state, Mr Andy Uba has moved to Labour Party . What do you make out of this?
First, I must tell you that I am not aware that Andy Uba has gone to Labour Party. Like I have always said, Andy Uba is also a major stakeholder in PDP and cannot be ignored, that is what I know. Why? Because, here was the candidate of the party in 2007, here was somebody who contested election for the party, here was somebody who won election; so you cannot say he is an unwanted person, he has his own followers.
What I would want us to do as a party is to follow up on this rapproachment because egos have been bruised and toes have been trampled upon. You must appreciate the fact that you cannot ignore anybody in politics; that is not my understanding of politics. I want to say if there is anything we can do as a party even if it means bending backwards to get him back to the structure so that all of us can go together as a team; I don't like politics of exclusion.
As the election date draws closer, how prepared is the PDP to win against the background of the cases in court and the fact that other candidates like the former Governor Dr Chris Ngige, Mr Peter Obi who has the power of incumbency and others big names are in the race. Do you think your party stands a chance in a free and fair election?
I know that every effort is being made and if you look at the pronouncements of the national leadership down to the zonal levels, you will see there is a very strong desire to win the election in the state in 2010. It still goes down to what I have been saying that you don't ignore or underestimate the power of other opponents because they are also desirous of winning the election otherwise, they wouldn't go contesting.
The incumbent governor will like to do a second term, Dr Ngige the former governor who is also running will like to win; the other parties even the least party will also want to win. What we must understand is that, while party A has larger followership, party B may not. While party A has an avalanche of political actors, party B may not, where party A has the resources, party B may not.
So, I believe that everybody is seriously involved within their party circles preparing for this same election. Therefore, that is why I always say that for PDP as a party, we have a lot of advantages but it is important that we harness this advantage for the success of the party and one of these advantages is that of the followership. We have the foot soldiers on ground in various local governments, but then we must harness these foot soldiers because you cannot really depend on their loyalty.
These are the people I am saying we should try and make happy. If there are people sitting on the fence, we should try and draw them back even if it takes massaging their ego so that everybody will now see this " operation win Anambra State" as a collective project.
Then it will be easier for us because all of us would have worked together. We will spend limited resources because the expenditure will now be spread across. So, I believe that PDP as a party is ready for this election and I want to say that everybody within the PDP including me is deirous of the party winning the election, but the truth about it is that, we must ensure we remain together to to be able to win in a free and fair poll.
As far as INEC is concerned, the Anambra election next year will be a litmus test test of what to expect in 2011 and a lot of stakeholders in the country have been raising eyebrows over what INEC will do. Do you foresee INEC conducting a free and fair election in state especially when people have always seen the commission asbeing partial?
First of all, you cannot understand the heart through the construction of the face, but I want to believe that following the assurances made by the leadership of INEC, that they are going to give Nigerians a free and fair election in 2010 using Anambra as a test case, so that they can present to us what will happen in 2011. I want to believe that and I have no reason to doubt INEC because you cannot say they can't do it until they have done it. So, since they have given repeated assurances, I want to say we should give them a benefit of doubt.
Whatever the benefit of doubt is, Nigerians will still have their reservations concerning INEC due to what we have seen in the past….
(Cuts in)Of course, the people's doubt is anchored on their observations of past elections, but I also know that INEC have received enough criticisms for them to know that by now, they need to know how to tidy up whatever deficiency they observed in previous elections so that they can present themselves in a better light. I also believe that they have dignity because there is life after public office.
So, IÂ believe that these are men who will also want to be remembered for what they did and they should see Anambra as a way of redeeming their image and reputation so that they can restore the confidence of the people towards 2011. I want to believe that.
What do you make out of calls by some politicians in the country that President Yar'Adua should resign from office due to ill-health….
First, I wish the President quick recovery and it is expected that once in a while, one can be sick. I also know that the presidency is not a one man show, it is a collective because the president has his vice and the ministers and other set of officials working with him. And now that the President is sick and receiving treatment,it does not mean other arms of the government have to stop work.
So, I think we should all be praying for our president's health wishing him quick recovery. So, I don't see reasons for any call for resignation, it is uncessary at this point in time. I don't also see the existence of any vacancy; a vacancy cannot exist in a position that is being occupied.
I also know that the president I know is a man of integrity; if he thinks he won't be able to continue, he will tell Nigerians because he loves himself and his family also loves him being alive. So, I am sure that once he knows he won't be able to run the office of the president of Nigeria effectively, I am sure that nobody will tell him what to do. But based on what the medical team and people that visited him said, I think there is no cause for alarm.
So, the call for resignation is not……
(Cuts in) It is un-neccessary for now.
How will you assess the government of Governor Peter Obi in the last 4years in the state?
Assessment of any government is based on the promises the person made and what you as a major stakeholder expects the government to do within a specified time provided for the mandate. In my own assessment, they have done their best, but I think their best is not good enough for Anambra because any government that cannot provide adequate security for lives and properties, as far as I am concerned has failed and today, any government that cannot address the issue of infrastructure cannot be said to have done well.
Any government that cannot address the issue of un-employment cannot be said to have performed. But I must be honest with you, they have tried their best within their power and level; they have done well because the task they set for themselves, they may have passed, but if you check their results alongside our own assessment, there is still a lot to be done because when you talk about performance, you have to relate it to how much the state received.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at US Department of Commerce (Washington, DC) in April 2010.
Initially got a call from my future boss during about 1 month after I had submitted my application on Feb. 27th 2010. Arranged phone interview for the next day. Phone interview took nearly 45 minutes, asking about my coursework, personal strengths, future career aspirations and why I was interested in working there for the summer. My best advice to a potential internship candidate would be to connect to your interviewer on a personal level and appear intelligent but friendly. This was also the work culture of my office in the ITA.

Is Dîner en Blanc an illegal activity?
For almost 30 years, Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris has been taking place without authorization, in some of the city's most prestigious sites. The first editions were not easy to pull off. Today, French authorities know that the event is always well organized and that guests are always respectful of public property. Moreover, the event's photogenic quality helps promote the city's image as a stylish Metropolis. On the other hand, all events produced according to Le Dîner en Blanc International guidelines require local hosts to acquire the proper authorization, permits, and insurances before proceeding with their event.
How many Dîner en Blanc events are there in the world?
Since the founding of Dîner en Blanc International in 2012, the event has quickly spread to over 70 cities around the world, with close to 120,000 guests participating each year. The largest and most internationally recognized Dîner en Blanc remains the original Paris event. Launched nearly 30 years ago by François Pasquier and his close friends, Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris now attracts almost 10,000 people annually, with 15,000 guests attending the 25th anniversary edition in 2013.
Is it possible to organize a Dîner en Blanc in my city?
Dîner en Blanc International has established an exclusive service to facilitate the organization and management of Dîner en Blanc events around the world. This turnkey service enables interested local teams to produce Dîner en Blanc in their own city, while connecting to the international network. For more information, write to firstname.lastname@example.com.
How can I participate?
You can register for Le Dîner en Blanc by one of the following three methods: by being part of the Hosts or Leaders' personal network and getting invited by them (Phase 1); by knowing someone who registers during Phase 1 and asking them to sponsor you for Phase 2; or, by signing up to the waiting list and registering during Phase 3.
What are the key rules of the event?
Le Dîner en Blanc is an evening like no other. Once registration is confirmed, each guests' participation becomes mandatory, regardless of weather conditions. Participants arrive at a designated departure point with their table, chairs, and picnic materials, and then make their way to the secret location with their Table Leader by chartered bus or organized public transportation. They take all of their belongings with them at the end of the night, including leftovers and trash, and they leave the site as clean as it was upon arrival.
What must guests wear?
All guests must dress elegantly in head to toe in ALL and ONLY WHITE and ELEGANT. All white means no ivory, no cream or any other color! Accessories i.e. hats, masks, belts must be white! Metallic is accepted but no other colors allowed. The event name translates to "Dinner in White" and we respectfully ask that you follow the dress code. If you are questioning if its the right color, its probably not. Originality and creativity are encouraged as long as it is stylish and tasteful.
What must guests bring?
A square folding-table and two white chairs; a white picnic basket and/or bag including a gourmet meal for two, a white tablecloth and cloth-napkins, cutlery, dishware, and glassware; and a garbage bag.
What kind of table do I need to bring?
The table must be square, foldable, and easy to carry. The size must be between 28 and 32 inches (71 and 81 cm). The table does not have to be white as it will be covered with a white tablecloth.

Brandon pulls big surprise in primaries
Make it two in the House for High Point. 4A BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Marcus Brandon has one race to go to win his first general election campaign, but the 35-year-old Democrat realizes he's already accomplished an amazing political feat. On Tuesday, Brandon defeated four-term Rep. Earl Jones, D-Guilford, in the 60th State House District Democratic primary. He won by a margin of 20 percentage points in the district that covers parts of High Point, Greensboro and southern Guilford County. Defeating an incumbent in any party primary is one of the rarest victories for a challenger. Brandon, a Guilford County native who moved to High Point a year ago, said he was able to advance to the general election through on-theground organizing, door-to-door campaigning and enough fundraising to allow his message of change to reach voters. "Jobs is the biggest issue right now. People are not working. They are tired of their representatives sitting around a table deciding what's best for them," Brandon said during an interview Thursday at his Thissell Street home and campaign office east of downtown High Point. The longtime Democratic Party organizer will face Republican Lonnie Wilson of High Point in the Nov. 2 general election in the Democratic-leaning district. The winner will take the oath of office when the N.C. General Assembly convenes for the 2011 session in late January. Jones will serve until the start of next year's session. Brandon launched his campaign in April 2009 and spoke with thousands of voters. He's enjoyed a core

Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary of 25 to 30 campaign volunteers to spread his message. Brandon campaigned on the need for job opportunities for people in the district and the lack of effective representation by Jones, a former Greensboro councilman. While respectful of the legacy of the civil rights movement, Brandon said politics can't remain stagnant. "We've got to move beyond the politics of the sit-in movement. The conversation has changed from who can eat at the restaurant to who can afford to eat at the restaurant," he said. Brandon, who got started in politics as a teenager in southern Guilford County, said he's promoting ideas to create good-paying, sustainable jobs within communities. He also picked up on the energy

HIGH POINT – Mother's Day is a day for children to show appreciation to the woman they call "mom." But for a restaurateur, it's a day for big business. "Everybody wants to treat their mother right," said Sammy Gianopoulos, owner of Gianno's Stone Oven Pizzeria and part owner of o'So Tavern in High Point. "Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for us, over Valentine's Day and any other day." He says both restaurants will be open Sunday. According to the National Retail Federation, consumers will spend an average of $126.90 on their mothers this year, up from $123.89

Restaurants, florists prep for Mother's Day BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

last year. Total spending on the holiday is expected to reach $14.6 billion, with $1.9 billion spent on flowers and $2.9 billion spent on food. "It's even busier than Father's Day, Gianopoulos said. "Mothers are taken out, where as families usually cook out on Father's Day." Area florists already have seen the annual rush brought on by Mother's Day, also one of their busiest times of the year. "Most moms already have everything that they need as far as stuff, so they like to get flowers," said Tommie Hughes, an owner of Ellington's Florist and Greenhouse in High Point. Hughes said the shop will sell between 500 and 600 mixed arrangements through Sunday.

We're getting calls from out-oftowners to deliver to their mom because they aren't here." Laura Godwin, owner of Mama Laura's Chocolate's
that recently relocated to 10948 N. Main St. in Archdale, knows that chocolate is always a popular food item for the holiday. "We do a lot of boxed chocolate towers with bows for Mother's Day," Godwin said.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Several county officials endorsed a Tennessee company Thursday that will operate a new clinic for a needy southeast Greensboro neighborhood. Prison Health Services Inc., based in Brentwood, Tenn., provides health-care services for the Guilford County jails and the county Juvenile Detention Center. The Guilford County Board of Health contracted with the company after negotiations with Moses Cone Health Care failed, Health Director Merle Green told the Guilford County Board of Commissioners during a work session. PHS physicians and nurses will work in a building the county has leased in the 2000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Greensboro. Commissioners approved the lease last year.

Gibsonville residents eye library funding BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – Gibsonville residents, fearful that a $55,000 county budget cut could close their library, lobbied commissioners Thursday for full funding. The cut is part of a $17.2 million cutback County Manager Brenda JonesFox proposed in her 2011 budget that offers no property tax increase, staff cuts and a reorganization of the public health department. Earlier, commissioners decided in a work session to review library funding before they pass the new budget. The Gibsonville library's budget is less than $100,000. "We need this library and the people want it," Gibsonville Mayor Leonard Williams said during a public hearing. Under a contract, the county will maintain funding at $385,000 for the High Point Public Library. The Greensboro library would take
Total: $568.9 million, down $ 17.2 million Tax rate: Unchanged at 73.74 cents per $100 valuation, or $1,475 for the owner of a $200,000 home. School Operations: Remains the same at $175 million for the school district operating budget; $13.2 million for Guilford Technical Community college. Public Safety: $86.6 million, down $1 million, with 10 additional paramedics included. Negotiations: Commissioners will hold another workshop May 18. a $600,000 cut based on a formula of serving 16 percent of the county population. "Our library complements the education system," said Ben Baxley, Gibsonville town manager. Half of the library's customers live in Ala-
mance County, where half the town is located. That was offered as one reason to cut support. One speaker offered commissioners a petition with 190 signatures supporting the library donation. The county also contributes to the Jamestown library under a contract, Jones-Fox said. "Why does a contract give the others status for funding?" Democratic Commissioner Paul Gibson asked during the work session. • Arts: The proposed budget includes cuts for arts and community groups to $435,000, or 46.5 percent in line with the county's policy of a declining donation cycle. The High Point Area Arts Council would get a 66 percent cut to $25,000. Arts are important for communities to help develop creative thinking, said Debbie Lumpkins, arts council executive director. "If we are to remain competitive, we must focus on creativity and imagination," she said.
"We need to develop a work force that can work creatively." • Health: As part of cuts in human services, the budget eliminates the annual $1.58 million payment to Guilford Adult Health service for uninsured and needy people. The health department could take over the clinic or seek a contractor. "To balance the budget on the back of these people is morally reprehensible," said the Rev. Julie Peeples. Commissioners also will review service alternatives in their next work session. Dr. David Talbot of HealthServe Community Clinic said his patients were shocked at the prospect of having to go to a proposed new clinic in southeast Greensboro operated by Prison Health Services Inc., based in Brentwood, Tenn. "They can't believe that would happen," he said.

Karzai to remake image in DC
LONDON (AP) – In an electrifying race that could change the face of British politics, voters turned out in droves Thursday for an election that could return the party of right-wing icon Margaret Thatcher to power after a long stretch in the political wilderness. Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the Labour Party was trailing in the polls against Conservative David Cameron, with Nick Clegg of the perennially third-placed Liberal Democrats gunning for a historic strong showing that could catapult his party into the ranks of the heavyweights.

KABUL (AP) – In Washington next week, Afghan president Hamid Karzai will work to recast his image as a mercurial leader prone to outbursts against the West into one of a credible partner worthy of the thousands of U.S. troops and billions of dollars of aid still pouring into his nation in its ninth year of war. After months of rocky relations with the Obama administration, the U.S. and Karzai are getting their partner-

Russian forces storm tanker; 1 pirate killed ABOARD THE CARLSKRONA – A Russian warship hunted down an oil tanker hijacked by Somali pirates and special forces rappelled on board Thursday, surprising the outlaws, who surrendered after a 22-minute gunbattle. Twenty-three Russian sailors were freed. The dramatic Indian Ocean rescue came a day after pirates seized the tanker, which was heading toward China carrying $50 million worth of crude.
Sunnis in Iraq warn of sectarianism BAGHDAD – The Sunni-backed alliance that got the most votes in Iraq's election warned Thursday against the rise of sectarian politics after two religious Shiite blocs joined together to try to form a government. The Iraqiya party led by secular Shiite Ayad Allawi won the most seats in parliament with strong backing from the nation's disaffected Sunnis in the March 7 elections, but it cannot form a majority government alone.

16 arrested for plotting attacks in Afghanistan KABUL (AP) – Afghan police in recent weeks have arrested 16 people who were plotting suicide and rocket attacks in the capital and are hunting for other suspects, top security officials said Thursday. The officials hailed the arrests as a sign that the ability of police to uncover such plots is improving and bringing more
stability to the country. Interior Minister Hanif Atmar said all but two of the suspects were detained in Kabul, and six were Pakistani nationals. Kabul police Chief Abdul Rahman Rahman said the suspects admitted to investigators that they had ties to two alQaida-linked groups, Hizb-i-Islami and the Haqqani network.

Kasab multiple death sentences for murder, waging war against India, conspiracy and terrorism. Officials hope the punishment would send a message to archrival Pakistan to stop future violence.

MIKE HUGHES: Common sense rules in court cases. SUNDAY

Recovery from tornado continues for residents On March 28, the F3 tornado hit our home and property with full force. Damage was major to our home, garage, dog kennels. Two vehicles were totaled. Numerous massive 100-year-old trees were uprooted or split in half. The beautiful woods behind our home were almost completely obliterated. After 12 days, we got power and phone service back. Our rebuilding and recovery are ongoing since the morning after the tornado. As City Manager Strib Boynton stated in an article, the blessing is that lives were spared throughout the county. Words are inadequate to express our heartfelt thanks to friends, neighbors, family, church members and even total strangers who showed us such kindness. Hot cups of coffee and breakfast foods delivered by friends in the mornings helped to start the day. Bottles of ice water on hot cleanup days were so welcome. There were those who prepared food for us; others took us out for meals. Community Bible Church was there for all the tornado victims in so many ways. The policeman who sat night after night guarding our darkened house gave such a sense of security. Other policemen patrolled the neighborhood regularly. Those who volunteered on a hot Saturday included Boy Scouts and leaders from West End and Covenant churches. Students came from High Point Christian Academy. There were members from Green Street Baptist Church. Many individual workers volunteered as well. How we appreciate them! To the Red Cross workers who came by, all city employees who daily removed debris from the streets, the crews who have worked nonstop with rebuilding, the police chaplain who came by, friends who have given support
and shared our grief, we say thank you. Our gratitude is immeasurable. Out of tragedy we have witnessed the goodness of our community. GENE AND MARTY KIRBY High Point
Merchants must tell public what they offer You are exactly right ... again! In your "Our View" editorial on Tuesday, April 27, you said the merchants at Oak Hollow Mall couldn't expect the general public to come there if they failed to advertise. We buyers have no way of knowing what goods and services are offered without advertising. A prime example is the K&W Cafeteria satellite, which was opened in the food court a couple of years ago. I enjoyed it immensely – the food was delicious, well-prepared, and with a variety of reasonably priced choices. But I never saw it advertised and every time I mentioned it to friends, they had no idea the mall had a cafeteria. Results – it wasn't
Make it two in the House for High Point F
hen the N.C. General Assembly convenes in 2011 after this year's general elections on Nov. 2, there will be more of a High Point presence in the N.C. House of Representatives. For the first time in just over 10 years, two residents of High Point will hold seats in the House. Barring any political twists between now and then, John Faircloth, who won 43 percent of the vote in his GOP primary to capture a seat Tuesday, will hold down the 61st District seat. He faces no Democratic opposition in November. In the 60th District, both candidates are High Point residents. Marcus Brandon bested incumbent Earl Jones of Greensboro in the Democratic primary Tuesday. Republican Lonnie Wilson faced no opposition then. Next year will mark the first time two High Point residents have held seats in the House chamber simultaneously since 2000, when Mary Jarrell held one of the two old 89th District seats and Steve Wood held the old 27th District seat. After redistricting by the Legislature, the new 61st District seat became basically a High Point/ Jamestown seat, with Wood holding it from 2003 to 2005 and Laura Wiley holding it from 2005 until now. The new 60th District seat, which includes a few precincts in east High Point was designed basically to elect a Democrat from Greensboro. Jones has held that seat since 2003. We've been saying for years that High Point needs more voices in the Legislature. It's about time. Now, if Bruce Davis were to successfully mount an independent campaign in the Senate's 28th District, wouldn't that be interesting?

Around the world, their sacrifice is not forgotten
irst, I have a news note: June 10, 2009, up to 266,000 veterans from Priority 8 (this is the group of veterans with lower to middle income and no service connected medical conditions) became eligible to enroll in the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. It is very surprising to me that in early March this year only 31,000 in the Priority 8 group had enrolled. The VA reports that department officials had expected the number to be much greater since notices were sent to approximately 450,000 veterans who had been turned down. The eligibility income level was raised by 10 percent. That increase makes the new national-means threshold became $32,342 for a veteran with no dependents and $38,812 with one dependent. In certain high cost of living areas, the income can go up much higher. If you were classified as Priority 8 before July, 2009, be sure to claim your eligibility for this benefit. Since Memorial Day will soon be here, I wanted to share with readers some information in an article I read written by Max Cleland headlined – "The Whole Earth As Their Tomb: Around the world, fallen heroes are not forgotten this Memorial Day." The article contained information about memorials and monuments around the world to Americans who have given their lives in defense of freedom. There are 24 overseas U.S. military cemeteries and 25 memorials, monuments and markers. They are maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission. All of these special places share the same purpose, and that is to honor the fallen by commemorating the service, achievements and sacrifice of our nation's armed forces – our war dead, missing in action and those who fought at their side. The American Battle Monuments Commission was established in 1923. President Warren G. Harding appointed the first chairman, General of the Armies John "Black Jack" Pershing, who lead the American Expeditionary Forces to victory in
World War I. Pershing made this his life's work until his death in 1948. He so eloquently defined the commission's purpose when he promised that the U.S. Government would perpetuate the memory of the bravery and sacriVETERAN'S fice of our men and women in uniform. He said, "Time VIEWS will not dim the glory of their Stan deeds." Spangle Sr. The overseas cemeteries ■■■ serve as a resting place for 124,917 war dead: from World War I, 30,921; from World War II, 93,246; and from the Mexican American War (18461848), 750. Another 94,135 U.S. servicemen and women are missing in action or were lost or buried at sea during the world wars, Korean and Vietnam wars. Many of the dead are buried in cemeteries located on or near the battled-scarred fields they died liberating. In all cases, the countries where these cemeteries are located provide the land to the U.S. government free of charge or taxation. You may go to the Web site www.abmc. gov. for more information. I don't recall ever seeing this much information about American Battle Monuments Commission. I hope you find this bit of information interesting. Poet Archibald MacLeish, in his poem written after his younger brother Kenneth died in World War I, "The Young Dead Soldiers Do Not Speak," calls on all of us to remember those who died in war and gives us these words: "They say, We leave you our deaths; Give them their meaning." I see a great responsibility placed upon all of us in those words. May God Bless America and all the other nations. ... Semper Fi! STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He's a member of numerous veterans organizations.

Interior Secretary halts offshore drilling leases
WASHINGTON – Lettuce sold to retailers in 23 states, including North Carolina, and the District of Columbia has been recalled because of a possible link to 19 cases of E. coli. Freshway Foods of Sidney, Ohio, announced on Thursday a recall of romaine lettuce after illnesses were reported in Michigan, Ohio and New York. The Food and Drug Administration said the illnesses included 12 people who have been hospitalized and three with potentially life-threatening symptoms. The New York state Public Health Laboratory in Albany discovered the contamination in a bag of Freshway Foods shredded romaine lettuce on Wednesday.
HOUSTON (AP) – Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has ordered a halt to all new offshore drilling permits nationwide until at least the end of the month. Salazar spoke to reporters
Thursday outside BP's Houston crisis center. He said lifting the moratorium on new permits will depend on the outcome of a federal investigation over the Gulf spill and the recommendations
to be delivered to the president May 28. He said until then, "We are putting things on hold relative to the granting of permits for well construction on the outer
Feds: Times Square probe will take time WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House sidestepped questions about whether the attempted Times Square bomber was linked to foreign terror groups Thursday as the FBI sought to tamp down reports that it had either confirmed or disproved such connections. Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistan-born U.S. citizen accused of carrying out Saturday's failed attack, has told authorities
he received training at a terror camp in Pakistan. The FBI is investigating whether that claim is true and is trying to figure out if the bombing was financed or supported by one of several terrorist or militant groups in Pakistan's lawless tribal region. If the bomb was sponsored by a foreign group, it would be a nearly catastrophic reminder that overseas terror organizations can still reach into
the United States nearly a decade after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. The 30-year-old former budget analyst was arrested Monday night on board a plane bound for the United Arab Emirates.

Sandy Maxwell, REALTOR, Broker, CRS, ABR
I started with Pat Zaby's In Touch Program September of 2014. It was, I believe, one of the best investments I have made in my 20 plus career.
There is so much to stay on top with in our daily real estate business, who has time to do all of the necessary things needed to stay in front of everyone in the social atmosphere, not me. In Touch did it for me, put emails of interest to my sphere, write a blog, write a newsletter and send it out. InTouch relieved me of trying to remember to post on link-in, facebook, to blog and to send a great newsletter out. This program takes the worry about not staying in front of all of your clients. The program has also allowed me to stop other monthly expenses. Having been in the business for many years, I have tried several programs for years, and had monthly cost, but all of them took extra time from me monthly, and the results were not as effective as I have seen already with "InTouch"
It is simple to join, they are extremely helpful, and will guide you along. If your list of contacts is only 10, 20 or 500 plus more, you should start today. They will do the work for you. They are always there to help, and assist.
I only wish I had started a few years back.
Sandy Maxwell,
