Column by Mr Joginder Singh (ex Director CBI) in Pioneer 31 January 2008:
Corrupt rule the roast
India remains the World Bank's single largest borrower. In 2007, it was the largest borrower from two World Bank institutions, accounting for $3.75 billion, or 15 per cent of their total lending as the Bank globally committed $34.3 billion. In 2005, the country borrowed $2.9 billion from the World Bank. However, for the second time in less than two years, the World Bank has levelled allegations of rampant corruption in implementing schemes with its money, which includes even those related to control of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
A Detailed Implementation Review, launched by the World Bank in 2006 and supported by the Government of India, has found "significant indicators of fraud and corruption" that include "collusive behaviour, bid-rigging, bribery and manipulative bid practices".
World Bank President Robert B Zoellick has said, "This probe has revealed unacceptable indicators of fraud and corruption." In 2005, the World Bank's investigation into a reproductive and child health project found similar instances of corruption, including alleged kickbacks to Government officials. Following these findings, the Bank withheld funds worth nearly $2 billion meant for pending proposals in the health sector. The important cases highlighted in the report are as under:
The Food and Drug Capacity Building Project (2003-08): The $54 million project was meant to upgrade food testing labs and technicians. The report alleges questionable procurement practices in contracts representing 88 per cent of value of equipment procured, shifting of bidding deadlines and favouritism, widespread deficiencies in delivery and installation of equipment in all 15 labs, besides discovering more than half of 282 equipment uninstalled or undelivered.
The Orissa Heath Systems Development project (1998-2006): This $82.1 million project was the only State-level project that sought to improve the healthcare system in Orissa, which has the highest infant mortality rate in the country. The project, meant to renovate healthcare facilities, supplying additional medical equipment, was marred by fraud. As high as 93 per cent of the 55 project hospitals had problems like uninitiated or incomplete work, leaking roofs, crumbling ceilings and moulding walls and non-functional sewage system. Yet, all were given completion certificates. The report cited 17 equipments that violated technical specifications, including autoclaves that could explode and neonatal equipment, which lacked adequate electrical grounding, exposing babies and medical staff to electrical shocks.
The Second National AIDS Control Project (1999 to 2006): This $193.7 million project aimed to reduce the spread of HIV infection in India and strengthen the country's capacity to respond to HIV/AIDS. The review found that selection and oversight of NGOs chosen for workshops and targeted interventions were corrupt. Procurement officials demanded and received bribes in exchange for awarding contracts. Several NGOs were not qualified to carry out HIV prevention activities and some did not even exist. They furnished false certificates to show their eligibility. Fraud was detected in 82 per cent of the 217 locally procured contracts.
The Malaria Control Project (1997-2005): The $114 million project sought to assist the National Malaria Eradication programme by introducing effective mechanisms to control that disease. The review found bid-rigging, bribery, and collusion in procurement of medicine, bed nets and pharmaceuticals. The firms that debarred by the Bank for collusive behaviour in the earlier review, too, were found indulging in similar practices.
The Tuberculosis Control Project (1997-2006): It was estimated that up to half of India's population was infected with TB and this $124.8 million project was meant to support the country's newly-launched DOTS programme. The review found collusion, fraud and corruption in 100 of 143 contracts.
The irregularities exposed in World Bank-aided health projects in India are only a tip of the iceberg. Regrettably, neither masses nor politicians feel outraged at the high level of corruption in the country. Regrettably, a survey has shown that Indians pay bribes worth more than Rs 26,725 crore every year, though this figure could be much higher.
In India, public sector undertakings are often made to sing and dance to their Ministers's tune. But for the first time, the Chief Vigilance Commissioner in November 2003 complained to the Prime Minister that six Cabinet Ministers were allegedly harassing PSU chiefs for "personal favours". The PSU chiefs themselves made these complaints to the CVC. One PSU chief was reported to have complained that he was asked to get Rs 20 crore delivered to his Minister's party office and when he refused, he was "denied" an extension.
Despite India claiming to become a new destination for global investors, 38 per cent of over 5,400 companies' representatives surveyed by global consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers said they were asked to pay bribe to get licences.
It's a way of life for some Government officials to take bribe. Despite our talk about Indian culture, philosophy and time-tested spiritual values, how can we justify such corrupt practices? Poverty in India is wedded to corruption -- in education or healthcare, roads or public distribution sector. Due to corruption, funds meant for development projects mostly end up in the pockets of custodians of public trust and money. This system has to go. But how does it go? It can go if there is a prompt justice system.
Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnan observed in May 2007: "California's population is touching 38 million. In India, that's the number of cases pending in courts across the country." The Chief Justice also said that that India has only 12,000 judges -- 2,000 short of the sanctioned strength. As a result, there are over 2.5 crore cases pending in lower courts, 37 lakh in High Courts and 46,000 in the Supreme Court.
"We need one judge for 500 cases to clear the backlog -- that would mean 77,664 judges. At best, however, the judges' strength can be pushed up a few thousand more. We need more courts and more budget for the judiciary," Mr Balakrishnan said. Will the Government wake up?

Train like a Champion
Athletes look to gain weight. Newton's second law is responsible for this desire. Mass x acceleration=force. Force, for reference purposes, is defined as strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.
Bottom line, size matters when it comes to power.
It's no coincidence that men in MLB who strike the ball hardest, are physically imposing and that the offensive lineman in the NFL who protect the ball carriers are not small in stature. Lebron James at 6-8, 250 pounds, by way of example, is far more powerful than say, Jamal Crawford at 6-5, 200.
That's not to say that smaller men and women don't have pop. I remember the super slim BJ Upton putting on a power display in batting practice that rivaled another teammate of mine, the substantially larger, David Ortiz. BJ, however, was more an outlier than the rule. Generally speaking, bigger, stronger and faster – in many sports – is the Holy Grail.
It stands to reason that athletes looking for power would also be looking for mass.
Lolo Jones knew that pushing a bobsled would require more overall strength than her track career has demanded of her. The 250ish-pound, two-woman sled won't move fast by itself. So she packed on a well-publicized 20 pounds to prepare to compete in the upcoming Sochi Olympics.
What's the best way to train to put on weight like a champion? I posed this question to Adam Friedman, CSCS, CNC. Adam has trained pro athletes across all sports, including Olympic Gold Medalists.
"The healthiest way to gain weight for competition is to have a holistic approach, and give an athlete as much time as possible to do it slowly." Adam shared with me. "It's important that weight gain, first and foremost, does not impair athleticism in particular speed and agility. So adding pounds is best done over time to allow the athlete to adjust and maintain body control."
I understand this concept quite well. I entered professional baseball at age 19 weighing 190 pounds, and gradually over the next five years added several pounds of muscle a year peaking at 215 at age 25.
My formula was simple; I kept a food diary and added quality calories as I increased my training load.
"It's really an experimental process from individual to individual to keep increasing calories per meal, and the number of meals per day over time until the desired weight is achieved." Friedman says. "The proper ratio of protein, carbs, and fat also needs to be consistent. "
In an effort to acquire accurate data and to appropriately make adjustments, keeping good notes is paramount to success when it comes to gaining or losing mass. Journaling of food intake is the ideal way to aggregate this information. Whether an athlete is working with a nutritionist, this process can make or break them.
Weekly weigh-ins and body composition tests go a long way to both motivate and accurately gauge progress.
As a player, nothing made me want to train and eat than feeling stronger and knowing that I was growing. In my mind, I could feel that weight, that power in the batters box. Confidence is, in my opinion, the No. 1 factor in successfully competing at the highest level. The talent is so close across the board that any edge, like more lean mass, translates to competitive advantage.
In the gym, an in-depth, progressive strength program will pair beautifully with the nutritional component to produce the athlete's desired results. The program will and must be specific to the athlete's sport and no cookie cutter approach makes sense.
"The program will need to include components of traditional explosive power exercises for sport to target the fast twitch muscle fibers, and also some exercises dedicated to hypertrophy volumes for the slow twitch fibers," Friedman reminded me.
There is more than one way to skin a cat, but a natural approach, without the use of unnatural supplements and or performance enhancing drugs is absolutely possible and advised.
Make no mistake; there are no short cuts to putting on mass for competition. Devotion over a longer period of time is my suggestion to accomplish athletic goals naturally and with extraordinary results.
Lolo Jones then, must have been a woman on a mission. Kudos to her and all the athletes out there with big dreams.

Rick Santorum, however, pledged to continue running on Facebook.
After nearly three months of primaries and caucuses, did Mitt Romney finally wrap up the Republican presidential nomination? It would seem so, at least according to Twitter and Facebook.
Almost immediately after, and in some cases before, Romney won contests in Maryland, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia on Tuesday night, people were talking about him and the general election. His only real competition, Rick Santorum, has half as many delegates and really needed a win in Wisconsin to legitimize his continuation in the race. On, Facebook however, it appeared Santorum was going to keep fighting.
"We're grateful for our supporters in Maryland and Wisconsin – thank you. We now turn to our home state of Pennsylvania, where the latest poll shows us up by 6. A win there will give us the momentum we need going into Texas, where the nomination may be decided. Please contribute to help us continue to Pennsylvania and beyond!," Santorum wrote.
Romney, on the other hand, was taking dead aim at the general election—at least on Twitter.

This match-up would undoubtedly be tops if Melendez had looked half as bad as Sanchez when the final seconds ticked off their tilt. Regardless, it was a fantastic fight full of violent exchanges including a few in the pocket while Sanchez's face was a faucet. The original Ultimate Fighter winner nearly re-painted the canvas with blood from a serious slash on his face and only exited the effort upright based on his general toughness.
In less than 24 hours it will officially be Halloween, giving countless masses an opportunity to don a costume highlighted by cuts, blood, and other various forms of gore. The UFC has done an excellent job paying homage to the holiday through action in the Octagon, providing fans with plenty of scenes straight out of a horror film.

It's hard to imagine a much more provocative title than How To Make Money Selling Drugs, and believe it or not, this new documentary from Tribeca Film actually lives up to that promise. Following the paths taken by drug dealers from street-level slingers to kingpins, the documentary explains why the life of a drug dealer can be so appealing to millions of low-income Americans… and why so many of them face unbelievably damaging consequences to become part of it. The beginning of the film really is set up as a how-to guide, though as the cops and drug dealers experienced with the trade are replaced by scholars and other experts, the satire morphs into a scathing attack on the War on Drugs.
What Richard Nixon dubbed the War on Drugs, way back in 1971, is the concentrated, decades-long campaign by American law enforcement to eradicate drugs that, by most measures, has completely failed. In the exclusive clip from the doc that you can see above, you can Susan Sarandon, activist Brian O'Dea and Criminal Justice Policy Foundation president Eric Sterling talk about the many logical fallacies behind this War on Drugs. In particular they're heated about how arbitrary government distinctions-- like how possession of crack carries a much steeper penalty than possession of cocaine-- take away our abilities, as individuals, to choose how and when we alter our minds.
You might be surprised by how many high-profile people are taking a very public stand against the War on Drugs, especially since simplistic slogans like "Say No To Drugs" have been driven into our brains for decades. In addition to Sarandon, the likes of 50 Cent, The Wire and Treme creator David Simon, Russell Simmons and Arianna Huffington, who wrote an article about the film that points out some pretty striking facts about the war on drugs. In 2011, 48% of federal inmates were incarcerated for drug-related crimes, as opposed to 8% for violent crimes. The U.S. spent $25 billion on the drug war last year, compared to $5 billion in 1981. And maybe most strikingly, 90% of those convicted by the Rockefeller drug laws are African-American and Latino.
How To Make Money Selling Drugs premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival, and is now coming your way via Tribeca Film. Directed by Matthew Cooke and produced by Adrian Grenier and Bert Marcus, it's currently available on VOD nationwide, and will be opening in select theaters starting tomorrow, June 26.

Meet Pesto.
This black lab was always destined to help others. He just didn't take the path most people expected him to follow.
Before he was scheduled to go to school to become a service dog, Pesto — then a puppy — became a regular at the Aurora Public Library in Colorado. Kimistry Howard and her two disabled boys, who were being homeschooled, were also regulars.
One day they all met. Howard says she felt a connection with the dog like no other.
"This beautiful puppy came into this room. I said I never believed in love at first sight, well, I had love at first sight," she told WXIA-TV. "It's a love story from beginning to end and it's not over."
[sharequote align="center"]"It's a love story from beginning to end and it's not over."[/sharequote]
The two boys, one with autism and the other with a rare spinal disorder, fell in love with Pesto. They were inseparable.
But, the black lab would eventually have to say goodbye to the family, leaving them behind for training to become a certified service dog.
And, while the boys missed him, they always wanted the best for Pesto.
"We wanted him to be placed with a phenomenal human being that would love him as much as we've seen him be able to love an entire library of people," Howard told WXIA-TV.
Pesto passed all of his tests with flying colors. Howard was expecting to receive a call, saying he'd been placed with a loving family, but that's when something surprising happened.
"Then it wasn't that call it was a different call," she said.
Pesto was not going to be a service dog, after all.
"I couldn't believe he didn't pass, but they said he didn't graduate," Howard said.
Instead, the black lab that had touched Howard's family would return back to Colorado. Two years later, he comforts Howard's boys, helping them with day-to-day tasks.
Howard told WXIA-TV that she is convinced Pesto intentionally failed so he could be reunited with her family.
[sharequote align="center"]"It's so beautiful they say he failed."[/sharequote]
"It's so beautiful they say he failed," she said. "What I'm convinced is Pesto made a choice."

Agreement between drug treatment data and a discharge diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in the elderly.

The authors examined agreement between drug treatment data and a discharge diagnosis of diabetes, considered whether agreement was modified by demographic variables and measures of comorbidity, and evaluated construct validity through consideration of relations with subsequent mortality. The study sample comprised 81,700 residents of New Jersey aged 65-99 years who had prescription drug coverage either through Medicaid or that state's Pharmacy Assistance for the Aged and Disabled program and had at least one hospitalization between July 1, 1989, and June 30, 1991. In this population, 16.4% filled a prescription for insulin or an oral hypoglycemic agent during the 120 days before admission, and 16.3% had a discharge diagnosis of diabetes. Overall agreement between these two indicators was modest (kappa = 0.67, 95% confidence interval 0.66-0.67) and was weaker in those aged 85 years and above (kappa = 0.58, 95% confidence interval 0.56-0.60), those in nursing homes (kappa = 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.39-0.44), and those with a high level of comorbidity (modified Charlson index > or =5; kappa = 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.56-0.62). Presence of a diagnosis of diabetes was associated with an apparent 24% reduction in the risk of death during the study interval (p<0.001), while prior treatment for diabetes had little relation to mortality (p = 0.15). These paradoxical associations with mortality and the lower agreement between discharge diagnoses and drug treatments associated with older age, nursing home residence, and comorbidity suggest limitations in the use of claims data to identify diabetes in the elderly.

Papal Flight, 14 September 2012 [Full Text]
"I can tell you that no one advised me to cancel this journey, and for my part I never considered doing so, because I know that as the situation becomes more complex, it is all the more necessary to offer this sign of fraternal encouragement and solidarity. That is the aim of my visit: to issue an invitation to dialogue, to peace and against violence, to go forward together to find solutions to the problems."
2. Welcoming ceremony at the Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport
14 September 2012 [Full Text]
"The links between Lebanon and the Successor of Peter are ancient and deep. Mr President, dear friends, I have come to Lebanon as a pilgrim of peace, as a friend of God and as a friend of men. Christ says, سَلامي أُعطيكُم, "My peace I give to you" (Jn 14:27). And looking beyond your country, I also come symbolically to all the countries of the Middle East as a pilgrim of peace, as a friend of God and as a friend of all the inhabitants of all the countries of the region, whatever their origins and beliefs. To them too Christ says: سَلامي أُعطيكُم."
3. Visit to St. Paul's Basilica in Harissa and the signing of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation
14 September 2012 [Full Text]
"Fear not, little flock" (Lk 12:32) and remember the promise made to Constantine: "In this sign you will conquer!" Churches of the Middle East, fear not, for the Lord is truly with you, to the close of the age! Fear not, because the universal Church walks at your side and is humanly and spiritually close to you! It is with this hope and this word of encouragement to be active heralds of the faith by your communion and witness, that on Sunday I will entrust the Post-Synodal Exhortation Ecclesia in Medio Oriente to my venerable brother Patriarchs, Archbishops and Bishops, and to all priests, deacons, men and women religious, the seminarians and all the lay faithful. "Be of good cheer" (Jn 16:33)! Through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, the Theotókos, I invoke God's abundant gifts upon all of you with great affection! God grant that all the peoples of the Middle East may live in peace, fraternity and religious freedom! لِيُبَارِك الربُّ جميعَكُم [May God bless all of you!]"
4. Ecclesia in Medio Oriente: Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Church in the Middle East: Communion and Witness
14 September 2012 [Full Text (PDF) of the Apostolic Exhortation]
"It is in this restrictive, unstable and lately violence-prone context that God has permitted his Church to grow. She lives there in a remarkable variety of forms. Along with the Catholic Church, a great number of venerable Churches and Ecclesial Communities of more recent date are present in the Middle East. This mosaic demands a significant and continued effort to build unity in respect for the riches of each, and thus to reaffirm the credibility of the proclamation of the Gospel and Christian witness."
"The Pastors of the Eastern Catholic Churches sui iuris realize with regret and concern that the numbers of their faithful are dwindling in the traditional Patriarchal territories, and for some time now they have had to develop a plan of pastoral care for emigrants… I also exhort the Church's Pastors in those places where Eastern Catholics have settled to welcome them with charity and fraternal esteem, to facilitate the bonds of communion between emigrants and their Churches of origin, and to enable them to celebrate in accordance with their own traditions and, wherever possible, to develop pastoral and parish activities."
5. Meeting with members of the government, institutions of the Republic, the diplomatic corps, religious leaders and representatives of the world of culture
May 25th Hall of the Baabda Presidential Palace, 15 September 2012 [Full Text]
"We need to be very conscious that evil is not some nameless, impersonal and deterministic force at work in the world. Evil, the devil, works in and through human freedom, through the use of our freedom. It seeks an ally in man. Evil needs man in order to act. Having broken the first commandment, love of God, it then goes on to distort the second, love of neighbour. Love of neighbour disappears, yielding to falsehood, envy, hatred and death. But it is possible for us not to be overcome by evil but to overcome evil with good (cf. Rom 12:21). It is to this conversion of heart that we are called. Without it, all our coveted human "liberations" prove disappointing, for they are curtailed by our human narrowness, harshness, intolerance, favouritism and desire for revenge. A profound transformation of mind and heart is needed to recover a degree of clarity of vision and impartiality, and the profound meaning of the concepts of justice and the common good."
6. Luncheon with the Patriarchs and Bishops of Lebanon, members of the Special Council for the Middle East of the Synod of Bishops and the papal entourage
Refectory of the Armenian Catholic Patriachate of Bzommar, 15 September 2012 [Full Text]
"Dear friends, through the intercession of the Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus, and of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, let us ask the Lord to bless the Armenian community, so sorely tried down through the ages, and to send to its harvest numerous saintly workers who, because of Christ, are enabled to change the face of our societies, to heal hearts that are broken and to offer courage, strength and hope to those who despair. Thank you!"
7. Meeting with the youth in the square across from the Maronite Patriarchate of Bkerké
15 September 2012 [Full Text]
"You have a special place in my heart and in the whole Church, because the Church is always young! The Church trusts you. She counts on you! Be young in the Church! Be young with the Church! The Church needs your enthusiasm and your creativity! Youth is the time when we aspire to great ideals, when we study and train for our future work. All this is important and it takes time. Seek beauty and strive for goodness! Bear witness to the grandeur and the dignity of your body which "is for the Lord" (1 Cor 6:13b). Be thoughtful, upright and pure of heart! In the words of Blessed John Paul II, I say to you: "Do not be afraid! Open the doors of your minds and hearts to Christ!"
8. Holy Mass and the presentation of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation for the Middle East
Beirut City Center Waterfront, 16 September 2012 [Full Text]
"Dear brothers and sisters who are suffering physically or spiritually, your sufferings are not in vain! Christ the Servant wished to be close to the suffering. He is always close to you. Along your own path, may you always find brothers and sisters who are concrete signs of his loving presence which will never forsake you! Remain ever hopeful because of Christ!"
9. Presentation of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation for the Middle East
Beirut City Center Waterfront, 16 September 2012 [Full Text]
"Dear Church in the Middle East, draw from the source of salvation which became a reality in this unique and beloved land! Follow in the footsteps of your fathers in faith, who by tenacity and fidelity opened up the way for humanity to respond to the revelation of God! Among the wonderful diversity of saints who flourished in your land, look for examples and intercessors who will inspire your response to the Lord's call to walk towards the heavenly Jerusalem, where God will wipe away every one of our tears (cf. Rev 21:4)! May fraternal communion be a support for you in your daily life and the sign of the universal brotherhood which Jesus, the firstborn of many, came to bring! Thus, in this region which saw his actions and heard his words, may the Gospel continue to resonate as it did 2,000 years ago, and may it be lived today and for ever! Thank you."
10. Recitation of the Angelus
16 September 2012 [Full Text]
"Sadly, the din of weapons continues to make itself heard, along with the cry of the widow and the orphan. Violence and hatred invade people's lives, and the first victims are women and children. Why so much horror? Why so many dead? I appeal to the international community! I appeal to the Arab countries that, as brothers, they might propose workable solutions respecting the dignity, the rights and the religion of every human person! […] May God grant to your country, to Syria and to the Middle East the gift of peaceful hearts, the silencing of weapons and the cessation of all violence! May men understand that they are all brothers! Mary, our Mother, understands our concern and our needs."
11. Ecumenical Meeting in the Hall of Honor of the Syro-Catholic Patriarchate of Charfet
16 September 2012 [Full Text]
"Allow me to acknowledge here the testimony of faith shown by the Syrian Antiochene Church in the course of its glorious history, a testimony to an ardent love for Christ, which has caused it to write some heroic pages of this history, right up to the present, by remaining committed to the faith even to the point of martyrdom. I encourage this Church to be for the peoples of the region a sign of the peace that comes from God as well as a light that keeps their hope alive. I extend this encouragement to all the Churches and ecclesial communities present in the region."
12. Departure ceremony at the Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport
16 September 2012 [Full Text]
"I pray to God for Lebanon, that she may live in peace and courageously resist all that could destroy or undermine that peace. I hope that Lebanon will continue to permit the plurality of religious traditions and not listen to the voices of those who wish to prevent it. I hope that Lebanon will fortify the communion among all her inhabitants, whatever their community or religion, that she will resolutely reject all that could lead to disunity, and with determination choose brotherhood. These are blossoms pleasing to God, virtues that are possible and that merit consolidation by becoming more deeply rooted. The Virgin Mary, venerated with devotion and tenderness by the faithful of the religious confessions here present, is a sure model for going forward in hope along the path of a lived and authentic brotherhood."

The Wu-Tang Clan are celebrating twenty years with a "Family Reunion." The group launched the new single this week, just a month after a previously unreleased pay-what-you-want track, "Execution in Autumn," was made available to fans.
"Family Reunion" appropriately samples the classic O'Jay's soul tune of the same name, lending a retro soul feel to the rap featuring Ghostface Killa, Method Man and Masta Killa. Listen to the track below.
The track is a testament to a new direction for the group, honoring the 20th anniversary of their debut, Enter the Wu-Tang. On the track they rap: "We rock all in together now/Wu-Tang forever now/20 years later we still bang whatever now/Turn chains to cheddar/If I could take a quote from Obama change is better/I vow to never let you down."
While "Execution in Autumn" was a previously recorded track, allegedly pulled from RZA's personal vault, this latest one signals new activity from the group, who are rumored to be working on a new full-length. Spin reported that the effort, slated for a fall release, will be titled A Better Tomorrow.


text: I had the privilege of spending five or so hours in my local hospital Monday night into Tuesday morning. My father complained of chest pain, slurred speech, and difficulty walking, so I drove him in. My father is old school, and absolutely, positively, demanded no 911 or ambulance ride. Upon arrival, I found it so very interesting how people define a medical emergency in 2013. We sat around people who didn't "feel good". A young lady near us thought she might have the flu. One lady was there with her four kids, and she was having knee pain. Another man hurt his finger in the car door when he closed it. I overheard a woman talking to her daughter about a vaginal infection. In came a woman who had a sore back. Later in the evening a couple came in who wanted someone to clean their ears out since it was hard for them to hear. One guy thought he had gall bladder problems and wanted an operation to fix them. Maybe it's just me, and I don't get what a medical emergency is. Maybe I was just hyper sensitive because of the condition of my father. -Mike

Carpenter stuns by taking Sparta pole
3 September 2010 – Ed Carpenter and Panther Racing have surprised all at the Kentucky Speedway by clinching pole position ahead of this weekend's fifteenth round of the IndyCar Series. The stepson of IRL founder Tony George will line up alongside championship leader Will Power's Penske, with the second Panther car of Dan Wheldon in third.
Nobody would have predicted a Panther 1-3 following this morning's first free practice session, which was rain-affected and headed by Ganassi and Dario Franchitti, although Carpenter – at only his third race meeting of 2010 - was delighted to lead the way with a best effort of 48.895 seconds, edging out Power by 24 thousandths.
However, the Australian remains content as title rival and reigning Champion Franchitti will start only 11th, with the leading Ganassi car of Scott Dixon fourth and Hideki Mutoh rounding out the top ten for Newman/Haas/Lanigan.
Current World Series by Renault Champion Bertrand Baguette starts a career-best sixth for Conquest Racing whilst the other two Penskes of Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe manage eighth and ninth spots.
Andretti Autosport suffered a dismal session as Marco Andretti and Danica Patrick qualified only 15th and 17th after Tony Kanaan hit the Turn 1 wall and Ryan Hunter-Reay crashed at Turn 2 – the latter pair therefore start the night race from the back of the grid.
Paul Tracy was also disappointed, having achieved no more than 23rd for Dreyer & Reinbold on his return to the championship. Other series returnee, Graham Rahal, also suffered a frustrating time and lines up 25th for Sarah Fisher Racing.
- Full Qualifying results
Saturday's night round at the Kentucky Speedway will begin at 7:45pm (BST -6)

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley hit .288 last year was 60 RBI so when Indians skipper Terry Francona saw Brantley walking off the field with his arm dangling at his side was a bit concerned.
Brantley was hurt when A's third baseman Josh Donaldson stepped on Brantley's arm when the young outfielder attempted to take advantage of an overthrow and advance to third base. Brantley was cut and received stitches in his left forearm.
"I don't know how many stitches and you never like any injury, but in this case there was some relief on my part," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
"When he came off the field, his batting glove was hanging and I thought I saw his finger extended out at a weird angle. So, all in all, the news could have been worse. We'll evaluate him tomorrow," he said.
Manwhile the Indians moved to 5-0 in spring training action with a 14-10 victory over Oakland. Justin Masterson was perfect over two innings of work in his first start of the spring.
"Today, it was two innings, nice and easy," Masterson said. "I was able to finish off pitches. I kept the ball on the ground and that is nice. It's good to have it in the zone and not get crushed. I had the sinker going and that's a good thing, especially in Arizona."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Lupus Foundation of Northern California, San Jose, CA, USA
Have volunteered with the LFNC for several years and continue to be impressed with its effort and accomplishments. Remarkably the LFNC achieves so much with a small staff of 3, a few active board members and its dedicated volunteers. Lupus is a horrific disease affecting our loved ones with varying levels of complexity - sometimes fatal. Yet very little is known about it by the vast majority of people, sadly even among medical professionals. So it is all the more important to provide support to lupus patients and their families. I know the LFNC strives to do this with care and compassion. Invaluable too are its weekly electronic newsletters that provide information to our LFNC family.

question for cloth diapers
Do you ladies that cd prefer snap closure or hook & loop and why?
Hook & loop is just the Velcro right?
Re: question for cloth diapers
Yes, hook and loop is just Velcro. You'll also see it called aplix. I have different preferences for different stages. Velcro is easier and quicker to adjust, making it great for the really little babies when you're doing diaper changes in the dark at night, and I also like it for squirmy babies because you can slap it on really quickly. Snaps, however, tend to hold up better and are harder for babies to remove. We have a mix of both and I don't really have a strong preference anymore because DD is usually pretty good about letting us change her. The Velcro (we have thirsties) look a little ratty after 2+ years of use but they still hold really well.
Re: question for cloth diapers
I agree. Velcro is good but they tend to wear out quickly for that reason I prefer snaps.
Re: question for cloth diapers
All snaps here. :)
Re: question for cloth diapers
I prefer snaps but have a healthy stash of velcro because I needed daddy friendly diapers. My husband was a little iffy about the cloth diapering thing so I had to make it as simple as possible.
Re: question for cloth diapers
I've been trying to figure this out too. From what I have read, I think I am going to go with a lot of velcro for the covers that baby will wear from the beginning because then I can adjust to get a better fit. Then, the diapers I use after that I will probably get snaps.
I have both. The Velcro can be different depending on the brand too. For covers, I think Bummis Super Brites have stronger Velcro than Thirsties. When it comes to pocket or AIO diapers, I prefer snaps
Re: question for cloth diapers
I have both, but I much prefer the snaps. Yes, the velcro gets a snugger fit, but the top part always seems to get folded into my son's belly so the velcro scratches his skin and he ends up with red scratch marks. Also, his legs get red marks much more if I use the velcro covers.
I didn't CD him until he was 4 weeks old and about 10 pounds though. I want to try CD right from the start this time, and I know snaps are difficult for a teeny baby. I'll probably get a small newborn stash of both.
Re: question for cloth diapers
I hate, hate, hate velcro/hook n loop closures! I got ONE diaper to try it out, and highly disliked it. I only use snaps now. My velcro one was worn out within about 8-12 months or so, and I'm not the type to fix it myself, so now it's sitting in a drawer until I decide to sell it or something! Snaps are very easy, no hassle and it's hard for Connor to undo them still at 2.5 years old! ;)
Re: question for cloth diapers
Aplix for a snugger fit is my preference.
My hands and fingers somehow go all stupid when I need to snap snaps. I had almost all snaps in the beginning bc everything I read said snaps were the way to go. But first of all my DD had a funny big booty/small waist shape and I got a great fit with aplix because I could angle the tabs, and second aplix was just sooooo much easier and faster. Plus if it "breaks" (coming unstitched) it is easy for me to fix. When snaps pull through or break, it is really hard to fix. Now we have just a few snap covers and fitteds but are 90% aplix and I love it. :) I think you have to try both and see what works for you and baby!
Re: question for cloth diapers
I have a mix of both. Some of the ones with snaps have left little sores but if it's a cover, it holds everything in tighter. When they're newborn, the hook and loop ones are easy to use. When they get bigger and think they should strip, the snaps stay on better. I guess it depends on my mood. We aren't cding right now.

Forensic test fingers rhino poachers
TWO forensic tests could curb illegal trade in poached rhino horn. The tests look for the genetic or chemical signatures of rhino horn in products such as powdered Asian medicines and Yemeni ornamental daggers. They can specify the species of rhino, and the individual game reserve in which the animal was killed.
Poaching has helped reduce the population of black rhinos by over 90 per cent in the past 60 years, according to the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Numbers have recovered from a low of 2410 in 1995, but only by a few hundred animals each year. White rhino are still vulnerable, particularly the northern white rhinoceros, and the illegal trade in rhino horn is thought to have reduced the population of wild Javan rhino to less than 200.
As recently as June this year, 10 kilograms of horn was seized in Vietnam, and conservation

Chesapeake Summer
The Chesapeake Summer Program at Washington College is an opportunity for high school students to participate in college-level studies of the Chesapeake Bay's marine environment, as well as geospatial technology, with scientists and teachers at the Center for Environment & Society (CES). Students can sign up for one or two weeks with an optional bridge weekend between.
Week One - June 15-20: Discoveries Underwater
At Washington College, we're lucky to have the historic Chester River flowing past our doorstep, as well as the boats and cutting-edge technology to study this unparalleled cultural and natural resource. During Discoveries Underwater, students will use the equipment that enables scientists to study the marine environment, from under the seafloor up to the surface. You'll examine the principles behind side-scan sonar, acoustic seabed classification systems, sub-bottom profilers, and marine magnetometers. Then you'll go out on the College's research vessels, the Callinectes and Lookdown, and carry out underwater surveys, examine the seafloor, and, perhaps, locate a shipwreck from the days when merchant schooners sailed from Chestertown to ports all over the world.
Students will compete to build and launch a buoy that carries the greatest payload, then build and deploy a BOB-Basic Observation Buoy- with instruments that measure water quality. You'll design and build an Aquabotz ROV-Remotely Operated Vehicle- a shallow-water, underwater robot with an integrated camera that can reveal what lies beneath the river's surface. You'll test your designs in the College's pool using principles of physics, chemistry, and engineering along the way.
This is the same gear and science that Washington College's professors use with students to map the rivers and the Bay, locate submerged cultural resources like shipwrecks, and understand and monitor natural resources like oyster bars and beds of bay grasses. This hands-on learning will show you many of the career possibilities connected to the marine world.
The Bridge Weekend - June 20-22
Steamed crabs and screwpile lighthouses: What do they have in common? They're both quintessential symbols of the Chesapeake Bay, and the Bridge Weekend is when you'll get to find out why. It's a chance to change things up, take a road trip or two, and learn more about the Bay's cultural and natural history.
On Friday afternoon, students will head to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, about an hour-and-a-half south of Chestertown. In a program jointly run by WC and museum staff, you'll explore the maritime museum's many exhibits to learn about the Bay's fascinating history and culture, as well as the environmental issues it's facing today. You'll do a little crabbing and fishing, and then spend the night in the iconic, 135-year-old Hooper Strait Lighthouse, where you'll learn some history about the Bay's lighthouses and their keepers. Saturday morning, it's out on the Miles River aboard another Chesapeake icon, the skipjack H.M Krentz, followed by fun and instruction in the museum's boatbuilding shop.
On Saturday afternoon, you'll travel to Worton, Md., to Echo HIll Outdoor School, where you'll enjoy a night of tent camping and campfires. Sunday morning you'll test your nerve and balance among the trees on the school's high ropes course. Then it's back to Washington College on Sunday afternoon.
Week Two - June 22-27: Geospatial Technologies and GIS
You know how that annoying voice in your parents' car or the apps on your cel phone can pinpoint exactly where you are? Ever considered how this basic system can be used to map everything from waterways and towns to the historic movement of people like the Vikings? That's called GIS-Geographic Information Systems- and Washington College's GIS Lab is an energetic, dynamic hub for this technology and the software that makes it possible.
Geospatial technology is among the hottest new fields for college graduates; the U.S. Labor Department has identified it as one of the top ten high growth careers. During this week, students will learn about GIS and how to use it to map the community and environment around them and have a lot of fun doing it. You'll start the week with a GPS and orienteering treasure hunt on Washington College's lovely campus-you might be familiar with this kind of game and know it as geocaching. Then you'll head to the lab to get hands-on with various software programs, like ArcView, and web-enabled GIS applications. Lab work will be combined with time outside in Chestertown, where you'll practice gathering data and mapping different aspects of the community. You'll bring these new skills together when you choose a final project, focus your fieldwork on gathering the necessary data, then bring your project to life using GIS software in the lab. The week will end with you presenting your work to Washington College faculty and staff, as well as your peers and parents.
Along with lab time and fieldwork, you can expect to enjoy a mid-week summer afternoon of swimming and a barbeque picnic at nearby Betterton Beach, in the beautiful Sassafras River, as well as other extracurricular activities throughout the week like kayaking and tennis.
Program Registration:
One week $2,195; bridge weekend $395; two weeks plus the bridge weekend $4,495 (a $290 savings on the bridge weekend if signed up for both weeks).

Home » Tour Guides » Cairo » Private Tour: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, Khan el-Khalili Bazaar
Your private tour begins with a fascinating introduction to each of the three Giza pyramids: Cheops, Khafre and Menakaure. You will have free time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), though your guide is not permitted to enter with you.
A short drive to the city side of the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, the enigmatic symbol of Egypt. Also in Giza you may visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional), home to the remarkably well preserved funerary boat of Khufu.
Cairo's famous Egyptian Museum houses 165,000 Egyptian artifacts, but the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamun are the highlight. His six gilded coffins dominate the main hall, while his magnificent death mask is the star attraction. Your guide will introduce you to the museum's most important pieces before you have free time to explore at your leisure. Continuing to Khan el Khalili bazaar, you'll enjoy free time to stroll through the maze of streets and bargain for a souvenir of your trip to Egypt.

Funds granted for B.C. shoreline cleanup
Clearly B.C.'s coastline needs your help! (COURTESY CTV NEWS)
The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup effort is calling on more volunteers for its 2014 efforts to rid B.C.'s coast of man-made debris.
Speaking at the Vancouver Aquarium on Tuesday, shoreline cleanup manager Jill Dwyer said cigarette butts, plastic bottles and beverage cups are among the largest categories of litter on the coastline.
Much of the debris is in hard-to-reach areas without road access.
Last year, 27,659 people participated in the cleanup efforts. The call coincides with an additional $270,000 in funds — through a grant from Japan — announced by Environment Minister Mary Polak on the same day.
She told reporters the money is in addition to $376,000 already granted to First Nations groups and other organizations with their own cleanup proposals.

I happened to tune in to the Tony Awards Sunday just in time to see one of the producers of "The Book of Mormon" musical offer a flippant tip-of-the-hat to Joseph Smith, as he pointed heavenward and exclaimed, "You did it, Joseph! You won the Tony!"40 comments on this story
This show which, "Newsweek" magazine says may be the most obscene show ever brought to a Broadway stage and which reviewers describe as full of doctrinal distortions in the name of satire, deeply saddens me. I have seen and enjoyed light-hearted satires of our Mormon beliefs which have been done in good taste and have laughed at the good humor.
But a show that contains 49 "f-word" references and 27 other obscenities and then salutes Joseph Smith definitely crosses the line for me. My comfort is in knowing that "no unhallowed hand" can stop the work Joseph set in motion, and ultimately such distortions from the world turn to the good of the church.

A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you'll never forget!
The cast of Broadway's Mamma Mia! had plenty of reason to celebrate this week. First, the spirited stars toasted to the show's sixth anniversary at the Winter Garden Theatre on October 18, just two days before becoming the 18th longest-running show in Broadway history on . We caught the show's three adult love pairs backstage, joyfully looking back at little old Bialystock and Bloom in the theater record books.

East pace-setters Atlanta opened up a 1.5-game buffer at the helm, courtesy of their success, combined with the Washington Nationals' extra-innings loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
The Brewers, though, maintain a 3.5-game lead on closest rivals the St Louis Cardinals in the NL's Central division.
Atlanta put on a homer clinic, with each of Freddie Freeman, Ryan Doumit, Justin Upton and Ryan Braun clearing the fence.
Braves starter Mike Minor pitched for just under seven innings, allowing just two earned runs while striking out five.
The Nationals forced extra innings against the Reds at the bottom of the ninth, when Scott Hairston's one-out sacrifice-fly scored Danny Espinosa.
Neither side troubled the scorers until the 15th inning, when Todd Frazier's two-run homer proved decisive for the Reds.
The Nationals pulled one run back at the bottom of the inning but could not prolong the contest further.
The Detroit Tigers' remarkable road streak finally came to an end, at the hands of the plucky Cleveland Indians.
Michael Brantley's walk-off homer ended Detroit's 11-match winning run in away matches, and also ended Detroit's six-match winning streak.
The result – sealed when Brantley's full-count hit in the 10th inning rocketed into the stands – was the Indians' first win in five matches.
The Chicago White Sox reeled in the Kansas City Royals for a 7-6 victory, after conceding five runs in the first inning.
The Royals hit the lead when Paul Konerko struck a two-run homer in the fifth to complete the comeback.
The result meant the Royals gained no ground on the National League's Central division-leading Tigers, who hold a seven-game buffer at the top.
AL West cellar-dwellers the Houston Astros chalked up their third win in succession, beating the Los Angeles Angels 5-2.
The Astros remain 11.5 games behind division leaders the Oakland Athletics.

The poem(s) are below...
We live in a world full of anger, hate, mistrust, fear and hypocrisy, but it wasn't meant that way. Once upon a time, thousands of years ago God created a green, pretty and healthy planet to live in where all the animals could work together and live in peace, but suddenly, all started to change. There was a kind and good-intentioned lion, the king of the world, that always tried to do the best for his planet, taking care of all the animals on earth and maintaining peace all along the different species, but there was also a hyena, his best friend, who was so jealous of the king that he stabbed him on the back. The lion always trusted on his best friend, he told him everything he knew and all his thoughts. He thought he would be there for him whenever he needed him and always sought for his good, but the king started to notice his odd mood and felt like he was loosing his best buddy, he tried to talk to the hyena but he refused. So the king turned to somebody else to ask what was going on with his friend and nobody told him. That was so weird, everybody loved the king, everybody would kiss his ass for free, but not now, everything was different, not just with the king but the mood itself. Everything looked sad, darker, like dead. Then, one afternoon, at the weekly meeting of the Great Council, where everyone was discussing, telling wrongs and rights, the hyena stood and spoke up and turned everybody from the king, he was creating a revolution. With all the king's ideas, with all the tactics he had, the hyena started to create a new team, he was creating bad people, he created evil. Even though there were still animals in the lion's side, the evil one was stronger. The king, surprised and devastated by his best friend's betrayal, he took up arms and started to defend his kingdom, the beautiful world he had. So they all started to fight, there was blood split everywhere, screaming, shouting and violence all around the place, like never before. Nobody stopped until wining or dying, dying was the choice they had to make to live in honor. So that was how the beautiful piece of heaven they had on earth stopped existing.

" Genre: Folk - American Folk / Artist: Bruce Springsteen / Audio CD released 2000-01-10 at Sony "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Springsteen is a pretty consistent artist. He takes his time over his albums and puts a lot of thought into them. The outcome is usually a hugely rewarding piece of work. Not so this time, with the worst record of his career. The context is important of course - he hadn't made an album since the great Tunnel of Love in 1987 - and in that time he disposed of the great E Street Band, got divorced, got re-married and became a father. He also turned 40. All that would be great grist for the songwriting mill - especially as he did two acoustic shows in 1990 whcih drew rave reviews, and showed off some new material, such as the epic Real World on solo piano.
What a shame then, that this album was so bloated and uninspired. Instead of having the courage to go in a new direction, he played it ultra safe, with session players adding nothing, and taking Springsteen's music down a dead end. Too many songs and a lack of quality control are also a problem. Can you believe that Rolling Stone gave this 5 stars?
That is not to say that there isn't some good stuff here - you just have to put up with the dross to find it. The title track and I Wish I Were Blind are the standouts - and stuff like Roll of the Dice and Man's World are pleasant enough. But when you hear what he does to the great Real World, you want to smash the album into a million pieces and never hear it again - and as for the career low "Real Man" you squirm in your seat.
Luckily, Lucky Town, released on the same day, was much better and pointed to a new direction with some hope, that was realised on the 1993 tour. If starting a Springsteen collection, get Human Touch last of all....
human touch was released on the same day as its sister album lucky town and was the first album in 5 years after tunnel of love. also it was the first proper album not to include the e street band. only 1 member remained for this album ( keyboardist roy bittan )
The album was welcomed on release but was also attacked by a lot of people. sudeenly the boss was getting bad press.
this is mainly because the e street band were not present for this commercial album and the fact theat the lyrics though are dealing with self loathing and struggle are too positive.
the die hard hard core fans regard this as he's weakest album though they all pretty much agree wish i were blind and human touch are great songs.
personally i think its great album ok its very polished and the estreet band would of made it meaty instead of silky. but overall it has some cool songs.
the hit title track is brilliant, 57 channels the 2nd single is cool.
wish i were blind is great. also it has a great rocker glorias eyes and a lovely song ballad called with every wish.
if you dont know springsteens music you will like this album. yes its flawed i,e real world solo piano live is amazing however on this album verison he ruins it and its a mid uptempo messy affair.
overall a good album with some great songs rather than visa versa
When it was released, I bought Springsteen's "Human Touch" album, and felt it was a 'grower'. I didn't dislike it, thought a few of the tracks were pretty good, and always meant to play it more than I did. But then other things came along to take pride of place at the top of the pile by the CD player. So it's an album I have played very little in the 8 years that I've owned it. Not an immediate hit, then, compared to albums like "Born to Run" or "The River". Listening to "The human touch" today, I wish I had played it more, as there are some excellent tracks on here. About half of the album still makes very little impact on me, though. These are the tracks that make it all worthwhile for me: "Human touch" is my favourite moment is when he screams heyy-yaargghh and the band comes back in, towards the end. "57 Channels (and nothin' on)" - now this song is very distinctive, and highly memorable. It's a kind of "Indian Reservation" for white poets / rappers. "Man's job" - it has questionable lyrics ("lovin' you's a man's job, baby"), which give the song an oldfashioned quality, making you wonder how Bruce finally managed to get married. But anyway, it's a catchy, passionate song, and I love it. "I wish I was blind" - with some highly worthwhile backing vocals from Bobby Hatfield. Talking of the backing vocalists, there are several songs with some real quality vocals, from Sam Moore and Bobby King, which lend a kind of 50's / 60's sound to the songs, and remind me quite a bit of the work Springsteen did in the 80s with old-timer Gary US Bonds. Much of the album sounds to me like it's made up of below standard outtakes from "Born in the USA" - "The long goodbye" and "Real man" for instance. Even though they
are rockers they make me yawn. In fact, overall, it sounds like he's just trying too hard - the vocals are strained, and the band is beefed up a little, but the in the end the tunes aren't always good enough. "Soul driver" and "Cross my heart" are prime examples of this (in Springsteen's terms) mediocrity - both plod along and don't invite repeat listens. I'm sure I will play this album a lot more now, but I will be programming the CD player to just play these last 4 songs most of the time. The rest of it sounds fairly dated, and there's so much great music on some of Springsteen's other albums which I'd rather spend my time listening to.

It's easy for a nation experiencing long stretches of peace and prosperity to be lulled into a false sense of security. How quickly we can forget the battles and wars, struggles and sacrifices that paved the way for our current freedom and security. That's the problem with being spoiled. You lose sight of what you have and how you got it.
Two months ago today, America was yanked from its pampered self-absorption and slammed into reality. No matter how dominant our economy or powerful our reputation, we are vulnerable. We do need protection. And, we realized just how much we've ignored our military. It is with this new-found sense of reverence and awareness that we celebrate Veterans Day 2001.
A national holiday for veterans was first observed in the early 20th century as a way of expressing gratitude to those Americans who served in World War I. Nov. 11th, known at the time as Armistice Day, was chosen because it is the day the first world war ended. In 1954, Congress changed the name to Veterans Day and expanded the holiday to include all those who have served in the armed forces during time of war.
It is poignant that the two-month anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks falls on the day when we honor those men and women who served in our nation's armed forces. With painful and recent reminders of how much we still need protection, there is perhaps no more appropriate time to celebrate those who answered the call.
In several local events today, we salute the veterans of our past wars as well as those men and women who are currently fighting terrorism -- a war unlike any fought before.
Oconee County will host a Veterans Day program at 2 p.m. today in Heritage Park off U.S. Highway 441 near Farmington. U.S. Rep. John Linder, R-Tucker, is the scheduled speaker.
At 3 p.m. today, a World War II living history program will be presented at the Athens-Clarke County Library.
Omar ''Bradley'' Bartos, a history buff who researches World War II and collects memorabilia, will talk about life in the military during the war. The program is free and open to the public.
While the organizers and participants of today's events should be commended for their dedication, we should remember all the parades and ceremonies in the world cannot truly repay American veterans for the sacrifices they made to protect our freedoms. Honoring veterans shouldn't be limited to just one day; it should happen every day.
Some day peace will return to the United States and, when it does, we must not return to complacency. As the generations of veterans from World War I to Gulf War age and pass away, our nation is losing the most important tool for keeping the history of their struggle and sacrifice alive.
According to the Veterans Affairs Department, as of Sept. 30, there were nearly 19 million surviving war veterans. About 1,500 die every day.
There is currently a project underway to preserve the records and recollections of American veterans. Millions of veterans of American wars from 1917 to 1991 are being asked to take part in an oral history project that will be available to the public in mid-2002.
The Library of Congress is organizing the history project, which hopes to collect thousands of interviews, letters, diaries, photos and other accounts, according to an Associated Press story. Participants in the collection effort are asked to cover such themes as their first battle and their experiences, if any, as prisoners of war.
''A national effort like this is also a public education process,'' said a statement from the library's American Folklife Center. The project ''will encourage grandchildren to interview their grandparents, classrooms to interview people in the community, veterans to interview one another.''
More information about the Veterans history project can be found on the Library of Congress Web site at www.loc.gov/folklife/vets.

A wildfire trapped 19 hikers for a time Sunday at Saddle Mountain State Park near Seaside. The Coast Guard sent a helicopter to assess the situation and plans were being made for an airlift. But rescuers on the ground were able to escort the hikers safely out of the area. Meanwhile, firefighters from several agencies are trying to contain the fire, and an Oregon Department of Forestry helicopter is dropping water.
Cindy Price, a self-described community activist, has qualified for the November election for Astoria City Council, Ward 3. The ward comprises central Astoria and the seat is currently held by Karen Mellin. Mellin has withdrawn her name for another term telling KAST news Tuesday afternoon that she has pressing family matters that she must attend to which precludes another term on city council. That means the race is down to Chef Marco Davis and Cindy Price.
"I want to help lay out policies that give transparency and accountability to the work of the Council," Price states in a news release announcing her candidacy, "from basic job descriptions and expectations for employees and commissions, to balancing development that respects Astoria's heritage, authenticity, and natural beauty. I want to advocate for protecting the vulnerable, and that means people and our environment. I'd like to see a member of the Astoria Police Department returned to the county's drug team. I will advocate for residents struggling with mental health issues and for victims of sexual abuse. I want DUIIs prosecuted by the county. And I want to help ensure that the city's continued growth respects our lands and waters."

Jessica Smith was found and arrested on Aug. 3 on accusation of aggravated murder of her 2 year-old daughter, Isabella, and the attempted aggravated murder of her 13 year-old daughter, Alana; of which took place at a Cannon Beach resort on Aug. 1.
A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter spotted Smith's vehicle about 15 miles east of Cannon Beach on a logging road at about 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. The helicopter was unable to land in the heavily forested area, so Coast Guards hovered over the vehicle until Clatsop County Major Crime Units arrived on ground.
A familiar face will be providing new leadership for the Seaside police come October. City Manager Mark Winstanley has announced that he has selected Lt. David Ham as the new Seaside Police Chief taking over for the retiring Bob Gross.
With the help of a Coast Guard helicopter search police were able to locate and arrest 40-year-old Jessica Smith who was found east of Cannon Beach off a logging road. Authorities had said the mother of the toddler and a teen girl found seriously injured in a resort room was wanted on suspicion of murder. Cannon Beach Police Chief Jason Schermerhorn announced the capture at a late night news conference last night.
The Cannon Beach Police Department and Clatsop County Major Teams are still investigating the death of a two year-old girl and serious injury to a thirteen year-old girl at the Surfsand Resort. The 13 year-old had surgery at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland and is now in stable condition and recovering. Her injuries are no longer life threatening. "This isn't something that any community should be dealing with especially when it involves children," Schermerhorn said. "Our hearts and prayers and thoughts go out to the family and those involved."

The Cannon Beach Police Department and Clatsop County Major Teams are still investigating the death of a two year-old girl and serious injury to a thirteen year-old girl at the Surfsand Resort. The 13 year-old had surgery at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland yesterday and is now in stable condition and recovering. Her injuries are no longer life threatening. Jessica Smith, the mother of the two children, is still considered a person of interest and police are continuing to seek her. "This isn't something that any community should be dealing with especially when it involves children," Cannon Beach Police Chief, Jason Schermerhorn said. "Our hearts and prayers and thoughts go out to the family and those involved."
Police are in contact with Greg Smith, the father of the two children and husband of Jessica. He is being cooperative and is not considered a suspect at this time. Investigators are also waiting for an autopsy of the two year-old girl. "We're getting great reception from the community on coming and trying to help us out, offering us any assistance that we need," Schermerhorn said. "Working with the other agencies is great, we wouldn't be able to do this on our own so having help from all the different agencies...is priceless."
Story by Nicole Bales for KAST News
On Friday morning, Aug. 1, a hotel housekeeper in Cannon Beach found the body of a dead two year-old child and a critically injured 13 year-old. Investigators' are in search of the mother of the two children, 40 year-old Jessica Smith of Goldendale, Wash.
Smith checked into the Surfsand Resort with her two children on July 30 and police and fire departments were called to the scene Aug. 1 at 9:40 a.m. Cannon Beach Police Chief, Jason Schermerhorn held a news conference outside of the Surfsand Resort at 5:00 p.m. Friday afternoon.
"At this point (Smith) is a person of interest, not a suspect, Schermerhorn said. "We're more concerned on her welfare and trying to locate her and make sure she's ok." The manner of death and identity of the 2 year-old are being withheld for the time being.
The 13 year-old girl was treated on the scene by Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue as well as medics and was sent to a Portland area hospital by Life Flight. The girl was questioned by police, but was only able to relay the people involved, as she was being stabilized.
A search warrant is being served on the hotel room and being facilitated with the assistance of the Oregon State Police Crime Lab. Police are also trying to locate Smith's vehicle, a gold 2007 Chevrolet Suburban with Washington license plate, APX 3141.
"No it doesn't," Schermerhorn said when a reporter began a question stating, "this sort of stuff doesn't happen out here." Schermerhorn continued by saying, "it's certainly not something that you want to happen anywhere...our hearts go out to the family." Anyone with information on Smith's whereabouts or who sees her vehicle is asked to call the Cannon Beach Police Department at 503-436-2811, or 9-1-1.
Clatsop County is looking for your ideas about a vision for the county in the year 2030 and a number of events are planned.
This Saturday, at Clatsop Community College, they will have a Vision Summit with community members to refine the vision and explore potential actions that might bring such a vision to life.
Salmon fishermen and other recreational boaters who anchor in the shipping channel of the Columbia River starting August 1 may face boating citations up to $5,000. A state-and-federally led campaign called, "Operation Make Way" is aimed at changing behavior that, if not corrected, can result in boating fatalities and catastrophic environmental disasters.
Wednesday afternoon the public is invited to meet the four finalists seeking to be Astori's next city manager. The event is set for the Barbey Maritime Center (old Astoria train station) and will run from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. As KAST reported earlier, interim City Manager Brett Estes is not among the finalists selected by the city council by his own wish to withdraw his name from consideration for personal reasons. Estes has said he would like to keep his job as Community Development Direcor and assistant City Manager.
A Coast Guard boatcrew from Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment, in Ilwaco, Washington, rescued a man after his boat ran aground and began taking on water in the Columbia River, Monday.
A member of the boatcrew, acting as a surface rescue swimmer, was able to reach the man and get him safely aboard a 29-foot Response Boat–Small and transfer him in good condition to emergency medical services.
