Boudreau sees big things ahead for Ducksby Tal Pinchevsky
The day Bruce Boudreau was named a finalist for the Jack Adams Award, the Anaheim Ducks coach admitted the timing of the NHL's announcement wasn't great.
Boudreau was still stinging from Monday's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in Game 7 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
"It's hard coming on the heels of probably your most depressing moment in a year, when you're still decompressing from losing in the playoffs," Boudreau said during a conference call Friday. "But it certainly is a great honor."
Much of Boudreau's offseason will be occupied with improving on his team's first-place Pacific Division finish in the 2012-13 season. Remarkably, between replacing Randy Carlyle midseason in 2011 then dealing with a lockout-shortened campaign, Boudreau has yet to lead his team through a full training camp. It's an opportunity he's looking forward to for next season.
"It will really help us. We can do a lot more organizationally. We can get everyone on the same page. I thought we had a really good start this year, but we'll start better next year. I'm looking forward to it," Boudreau said. "I'm looking forward to training camp already. Especially with the rise of all our young players in the organization, from Rickard Rakell to Emerson Etem. Seeing them perform at different times, we're really excited about seeing all those guys next year at camp."
After inheriting a team that would finish 13th in the Western Conference in 2011-12, Boudreau re-established a replenished Ducks roster as one of the best in the League. The bounce-back campaign was aided in large part by contributions from a number of new faces, including goaltender Viktor Fasth, forward Daniel Winnik and defenseman Sheldon Souray.
But it was the play of Boudreau's rookies, particularly California-born Etem, that has the coach most excited for next season.
"I don't want to put too much pressure on Emerson right now. Right now he's just finding his way, but I think you could see that he has the capabilities of being something special," Boudreau said. "It might be three or four years before he reaches that level. But his work ethic and everything else about him as a young man is really good. I don't see why he doesn't have that ability to become a real voice in California hockey."
The biggest news this offseason for the Ducks likely will be regarding the team's pair of Finnish veterans. Neither 38-year-old Saku Koivu nor 42-year-old Teemu Selanne has confirmed whether he will return to Anaheim next season.
"That's wait and see," Boudreau said of any pending announcement from the veterans. "I haven't heard anything."
The future of those players will play a sizable role in what should be an interesting summer for Boudreau, who was nominated for coach of the year along with Paul MacLean of the Ottawa Senators and Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Project Inform Forum Focuses on HIV and Aging. 22/10/2009
by Liz Highleyman firstname.lastname@example.com
Aging has become a key focus for people with HIV and their health care providers, but much remains to be learned about the medical and psychosocial aspects of the aging process in this population, which was the topic of a recent forum sponsored by Project Inform.
"We're facing a paradox," said Matt Sharp, Project Inform's new director of treatment and prevention advocacy. Having lived with HIV for more than 20 years, Sharp, 53, described himself as one of the lucky survivors.
"Many of us are thriving and we're dealing less with AIDS-specific issues, but now we're dealing with issues that come with age," he noted.
Due to effective antiretroviral therapy, life expectancy of HIV-positive people in the United States has increased dramatically – more than doubling between 1996 and 2005, according to one recent study – but still does not equal that of the general population.
By the year 2015, nearly half of HIV-positive people in the U.S. will be over age 50. In San Francisco, that figure already stands at 40 percent. While about 15 percent of newly infected individuals are over 50, people who have lived with the virus for years or decades face distinct challenges.
At the forum, held September 24, Sharp reviewed some of the chronic conditions facing people with HIV as they age, including cardiovascular disease, liver disease (often related to hepatitis B or C), kidney impairment, non-AIDS cancers (including anal and cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus), bone loss (osteoporosis), neurocognitive decline, and "frailty," characterized by weight loss, weakness, and increased risk of disability and death.
With opportunistic infections and cancers now seldom seen among people on antiretroviral treatment, management of age-related chronic conditions has become a mainstay of HIV medicine.
Accelerated aging?
A growing segment of HIV research aims to tease out the causes underlying the apparent acceleration of the aging process in long-term survivors.
Many of these problems have been blamed on antiretroviral therapy over the years, and various drugs do appear to play a role. But it is increasingly clear that long-term HIV infection itself wreaks havoc on the body in ways that are not fully understood.
"For the last 10 years we've been so excited about therapy helping people live longer that we've gotten a bit selfish," said Dr. Steven Deeks of San Francisco General Hospital. "We now want people to live a normal lifespan with completely restored health, but we're not there yet."
Even low-level so-called undetectable virus in people on effective treatment – which in fact can almost always be detected using ultrasensitive tests – can trigger persistent immune activation. In addition, HIV damages the gut lining during early infection, allowing bacteria to leak out and ignite system-wide inflammation. Antiretroviral therapy dramatically reduces immune activation and inflammation, but does not bring back the normal pre-HIV state.
Furthermore, having a lower CD4 T-cell count has been linked to higher risk of non-AIDS diseases among people who are well above the 200 cell "danger zone" for opportunistic infections, or even the current 350 cell threshold for starting treatment. And while CD4 counts usually rise after starting treatment, the new cells may not work as well as those that were lost.
Chronic low-grade inflammation appears to be the common denominator underlying all these conditions, according to Deeks. It is also increasingly implicated in age-related disease among HIV-negative people, demonstrating that long-term viral infection is only part of the puzzle.
While researchers continue to study the interactions between long-term infection and the aging process, HIV-positive people can take steps now to prevent disease and improve their overall health. These include quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, getting more exercise, and avoiding or reducing use of alcohol and recreational drugs.
"You don't need to join a gym to exercise, you just need to get your blood moving for 30 minutes a day," said Sharp. He also emphasized the need for cancer screening – including anal Pap smears and colon cancer tests – and vitamin D and calcium supplements to maintain strong bones.
As with diabetics, Deeks said, HIV-positive people should be treated aggressively to prevent cardiovascular events – the leading cause of death for older people regardless of HIV status. This includes "getting cholesterol not just down to normal, but as low as possible." As an added benefit, the cholesterol-lowering statin drugs also have a general anti-inflammatory effect, but they can interact with some antiretrovirals.
Looking to the future, researchers are exploring therapies (such as IL-7) to boost T-cells, nutritional therapy to protect the gut, anti-inflammatory drugs to control chronic immune activation (potentially including the recently approved antiretroviral drug maraviroc), and strategies to eradicate the last bit of latent virus.
Psychosocial issues
Shifting the focus to psychosocial issues, Peter Carnini from New Leaf: Services for Our Community discussed the isolation and lack of social support older people with HIV often experience. Many older gay men feel invisible, he said, and there is a "disconnect" between older and younger HIV-positive men in the community.
Long-term HIV survivors, he added, may struggle with what he called "fragmented life narratives" as they live longer than they ever expected, having not made plans for the future such as completing their education or saving money.
Other common issues facing older HIV-positive men include estrangement from families of origin, "survivor guilt," post-traumatic stress related to dealing with a life-threatening illness and frequent bereavement, changes in sexual desire and function, and difficulties with employment, finances, and insurance. Many of these issues, he noted, seem to be more acute for men of color.
"Often when we hit 40 or 50, it becomes a little more difficult to make friends, we don't go out as often, and isolation sets in," Carnini concluded. "Older gay men with HIV need to become more visible. This won't happen if you put your dinner in the microwave and turn on TV. It isn't going to change unless we change it."

When I was younger, my parents liked to pack all of us kids up and go on family vacations. It was something that I enjoyed a lot and so I wanted to do the same with my kids when I grew up. My wife and I try to manage our money in a way that we can at least do one vacation every year with our children. It builds strong bonds and creates great memories-just like when I was younger, I just have so many fond memories of time spent together on family vacations. Sure, we didn't always get along sitting in the car while we were traveling and we had little disputes with each other, but those aren't the things that stick out in my mind.
Sometimes there can be set backs on trips such as car trouble or bad weather, but one of the things that I have found to be the worst is when one of us or our children becomes sick. It seemed like one of our kids in particular would almost always have a runny nose and complain that his eyes were itching. We determined that he had allergies and so we got some over the counter medicine to see if it would help out. It did for a little bit, but he still had a runny nose. We decided to take him to our family doctor to see if there was a prescription medicine we could give him or if there was anything else we could do to help him out. In addition to giving our son a prescription, the doctor recommended that we get some sort of air purifying system for our home or just even a room unit for our son's room.
After discussing it, we decided to get a whole house air purifier and it helped him out a lot. We didn't think about it at the time since we were at home, but we soon found out that we would need to do something for him while we were on our vacations. His medication worked during the day, but in the mornings he would wake up with puffy eyes and dried up snot caked on his face. We did some searching and we were able to find a portable air purifier that we could take with us on our vacations! I am so glad that we did! The next time that we went on vacation, we were able to take the unit with us and set it up in the hotel room that we stayed in without any problem.
When we got up the next day our son's eyes looked normal and there was hardly any snot on his face. He also told us that he felt like he slept better and that it was easier to breathe. In the past he would sometimes wake up due to the difficulty he experienced trying to breathe but the purifier seemed to make a huge difference. It is also nice for him to have when he goes to visit my wife's parents who live a few hours away from us. I highly recommend a portable unit for anyone who has allergies and likes to travel!

The National Aviation Hall of Fame (NAHF) has chosen Velvet Thomas, a third grade teacher at Golden Poppy Elementary School in Palmdale, California, as the 2017 A. Scott Crossfield Aerospace Educator of Year.
The award will be presented to Thomas during the 55th Annual Enshrinement Dinner and Ceremony in Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 28, 2017.The Crossfield Award, founded in 1986 by NAHF enshrinee, engineer and test pilot A. Scott Crossfield (1921-2006), is an annual competition to recognize one K-12 teacher for his or her exemplary use of aerospace in their classroom curricula.
This year's award recipient is celebrated for her hands-on approach to aviation education.
Thomas' non-traditional lessons have included taking students to watch the Space Shuttle re-enter the atmosphere and visit the Sage Planetarium. Thomas has also held takeoff and landing simulations in class and even taught students the pilots alphabet.
"While most teachers say 'no' to paper airplanes in the classroom," says Thomas' colleague Jeff Greenberg, "her lessons have included making a paper hyper-jet to teach about jets and creating World War II paper airplanes to teach the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor."
Her students also regularly hear from guest speakers representing leading American aerospace organizations, including Northrop, Lockheed and NASA.
"Thomas embodies the Crossfield Award, and has inspired generations of students to dream about aviation as a career," officials note.

World Psychedelic Classics 1: Everything is Possible: The Best of Os Mutantes
Os Mutantes
The late '60s in Brazil produced an explosion of new sounds and ideas that still reverberate throughout the world… during that time, Os Mutantes' creative cannibalism produced psychedelic gems unlike anything else in the world. They were exactly what their name implies: a mutant genetic recombination of elements of John Cage, The Beatles, and Bossa Nova. A creature too strange and beautiful to live for very long, but too strong ever to fade away. It lives again.

This week marks the beginning of my Taper -- the period where you reduce your mileage and workouts leading up to a Race so that your body can recover, repair, and store up Glycogen -- for the Illinois Marathon Weekend on April 27-28. I am doing the "iChallenge" -- running a 5K on Friday night, followed by the Half Marathon on Saturday. When I finish both races, I get medals for both races, plus a third medal to show I completed the iChallenge. Fun stuff! I love a challenge!
So this week, I am cutting down on my running miles (but not my walking mileage for AVON). On Wednesday, I walked for 6.5 miles at a 14:25/mm pace. It was a nice walk on a bike path for part of it (thanks Megan for showing it to me last week). Today, I went to LifeTime Fitness after work to run 3.81 miles on the Treadmill. I decided to do a Tempo Run, with a 3.46 mile run segment at a 9:38/mm pace. I even ran the last 1/2 mile at a faster 8:45/mm pace just to push it a bit. After the run, I foam rolled my piriformis muscle which has been sore for the past week. I am trying to get it nice and comfy before my races next week.
I am hoping to PR both of my races at the Illinois Marathon Weekend. My goal is to run the 5K at a 9:00/mm pace, and run the Half in the 9:30/mm range. We will have to see how this turns out. But as long as I PR the two races, I will be satisfied. A good race result here will be the times I will submit to Disney for corral placement for the WDW Marathon Weekend in 2013.
Earlier this month, I estimated that I would run/walk for over 100 miles in April. So far, I have 'moved' (walked and/or run) for 83 miles! Woo Hoo! There is no doubt now that I will cross the 100-mile/month threshold for April! Since I am tapering, my mileage will be much less than in prior weeks. But even taking that into consideration, it looks like my mileage total will be close to 115. Whew! I just bought my Newtons on March 27th and they already have 60 miles on them!
Today, I spent some time finishing up my training schedule for the ENTIRE YEAR and entering all of that information into my iPad calendar. Now I can just follow the plan day-to-day. I am sure the plans will be adjusted as needed -- certainly once I start my marathon training program through the RRCA, there will be changes to make -- but at least now I have a complete game plan that includes all my scheduled races.
I have to admit that as I entered in all these runs (and walks), I started to get a little panicked. Can I really accomplish all of this??? I mean we are talking hundreds and hundreds of training miles (with many Long Runs in the hottest part of the summer), not to mention the Chicago Marathon AND the Goofy Challenge. I will likely exceed 1000 miles in 2012. Am I crazy??!! I guess we will see -- and you get a front seat right here as I chronicle the journey. Stick with me because I will need all of your support and encouragement as I keep moving forward. We will encourage one another, okay?
Speaking of support, the AVON Walk for Breast Cancer research is coming up fast -- June 2-3, 2012. There is still time if you feel called to support me with a donation, and help us fight the battle for a cure to this disease and help women and men get the care they need to overcome. Just click the SUPPORT ME link at the top of this page to learn more and make a donation. Thanks!

J.C. Penney Not Acting Like 'Financially Healthy Company'
J.C. Penney Co.'s decision to boost its borrowing capacity is raising some eyebrows on Wall Street.
Late Tuesday, the struggling department-store chain disclosed that it has amended its bank credit facility to increase its borrowing capacity to $1.85 billion from $1.5 billion. While J.C. Penney said the move is intended to give it more financial flexibility, analysts said the move illustrates how the company will be constrained in self-funding its turnaround efforts this year.
"The credit risk profile of J.C. Penney continues to escalate as the company potentially increases leverage to bring about a so far disappointing transformation strategy," says Wayne Hood, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets. He noted no funds have been drawn under the agreement and there were no changes in credit terms or covenants.

Soweto Towers Competition
We recently took the cooling towers in Orlando under our wings and as part of the sponsorship, we decided to give local artists the opportunity to rebrand this key heritage site in a way that captures the great significance which they hold for the local residents.
We ran a competition earlier this year, calling local artists to craft and submit work which they felt would best fit the towers, and in the process this promised to have a positive impact on their art careers. The brief was simple: the artwork must celebrate the community of Soweto and clearly depict how our Vodacom network empowers South Africans through technology.
A mind-blowing number of innovative, original entries was received and after a meticulous selection process led by renowned local artists, Bambo Sibiya and Karabo.
Now with the final artwork crafted and the painting process already underway, the time has come for us to introduce the talented winners who are sharing their vision and helping us celebrate our heritage.
And the winners are...
Peter Silwimba
This Zambian-born, Pretoria-based artist is a 30-year-old "art geek" who has enjoyed a 16-year career in the arts. Peter is the co-founder of Layyers, an art- and technology-centric company that focuses on art, content management, motion graphics, storyboards and app development. He recently participated in (and won) a Hackathon, a hub where developers collaborate to solve a particular problem by mixing art and technology.
Mduduzi Twala
This creative talent was born in Soweto and grew up in Zola North where his love for drawing was discovered at age 6. Inspired by iconic painters including Gerard Sekoto, Rembrandt and his own father, David Twala, he hosted his first art exhibition at the UBC offices in Soweto followed by the Naledi Sports Grounds' BHP Billiton and the Soweto Theatre. Mduduzi's paintings have been sold to prominent corporates and public figures including Clover SA, Old Mutual, Kofi Annan and Peter Vundla.
Nkululeko Mahlangu
Raised in Rockville, Soweto, he was just a primary school student when he discovered art as a way of life and a career he would pursue. Nkululeko furthered his studies in visual arts and was later employed by Ochre Media as an assistant designer for the Kliptown Open-Air Museum. He worked extensively with a few NGOs to teach art through Soweto Kliptown Youth, and is now a professional visual arts practitioner and voluntary arts teacher. Having participated in several group exhibitions and two solo exhibitions, he hopes to run his own art institution and gallery.
Brenda Ramadiehe
34-Year-old Soweto-born artist, Brenda has an array of experience from workshop development and printmaking to puppet making and fine arts. Currently working as a facilitator and receptionist at the Artist Proof Studio, she continues to expand her knowledge and skills. She has showcased in a plethora of exhibitions including the 'Images of Woman' in 2012 and 'Hot Off The Press' held at the ABSA Arts Galley. To give back to her community, she started "Fun Art Friday", a social gathering where youth from neighbouring countries in her neighbourhood get to collaborate on art-centric activities.

Erika did it! She successfully grew corn and cucumbers. Not only that, but they were delicious. Yeah, it's probably not a big deal for most people, but we're not talking about most people. Erika's thumb has been a solid shade of brown ever since I met her. This dramatic change from a brown to a green thumb is an amazing transformation. I often teased her about her unique gardening abilities, but not any more...nice job!
I'll update the progress of her watermelons in a later post. They look pretty good so far. George

Pink for you mommy
Happy Sunday guys. Hope you're having a great one. Olivia and I started our morning around 7am today, and have played, watched the Lion King and Daniel Tiger and made pancakes. As well as some chores in between. The weather is super beautiful in Kristiansand today, but after a busy week I decided for us to stay in and just have some quality snuggle time before she goes to be with her dad for a week. Right now she borrowed my phone to look at photos. Haha, she loves to look at photos of herself and see what and where she's been. She's cute. I need to get back to snuggling. Talk soon. Kisses

Howard H. Hokkanen, age 87, longtime resident of Annandale, died Monday, June 24, 2013, at St. Cloud Hospital.
He was born on the farm near West Albion April 26, 1926, the son of Oscar and Sarah Hokkanen.
Howard attended the Gunnary country school and Annandale High School. During his high school junior year, a tornado hit the family farm and there was so much work that he quit school to work on the farm. In 1962, he received his high school diploma when he passed the GED tests at St. Cloud College.
Howard continued to work on the farm and, for a short time, he worked at the Ford Motor Plant in St. Paul.
He was united in marriage to Adeline Lappi April 23, 1949, at the Apostolic church parsonage in Cokato. The couple lived and worked on the family farm.
In 1977, they built a new home on the farm, and have enjoyed living there for 36 years. Howard stopped dairy farming in 1962, and continued to crop farm. He also started working for the Agriculture and Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) that year as a Federal crop insurance agent for Wright, Hennepin, and Carver counties.
In 1973, Howard became the manager for the Cokato Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and also worked as an insurance agent for the company. He worked as the manager for 23 years, was on the board of directors for 58 years, and recently retired as an insurance agent in 2012.
Howard enjoyed fishing since he was a young boy when his father took the boys fishing on rainy summer days when they could not work on the farm, and he continued to enjoy many fishing outings with family and friends.
He was active on his bowling team and enjoyed winning several championships. Howard loved sports, and enjoyed playing in casual baseball, football, and basketball games. He continued to follow all the professional Minnesota sport teams throughout his life; especially baseball.
Howard loved living on the farm, and he loved his family and enjoyed keeping up with all their activities. He liked nothing better than to visit and enjoy meals with his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Adeline, of Annandale; children, Darlene (Dave) Zylstra of Maple Lake, Patty (Steve) Hohag of St. Michael, and Ken (Bev) Hokkanen of Chaska; grandchildren Kelley (Erik) Johnson, Joe (Jody) Zylstra, Alison (Ben) Menk, Ryan (Lisa) Zylstra, Ashley (Jeremiah Flintrop) Zylstra, Ben (Laurie) Hokkanen, and Sara (Clint Gunkel) Hokkanen; eight great-grandchildren; a nephew, George (Frances) Abernathy; a niece, Liz (Virgil) Carlson, and many other relatives and friends.
Howard was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar and Sarah; brothers Walter, Rayno, and Elmer; sisters Anna, and Elma; and a half-sister, Mayme Abernathy.
Funeral services took place Saturday, June 29 at 11 a.m. at Good Shepherd Free Lutheran Church in Cokato, with the Rev. Lyndon Korhonen officiating. Burial followed at Riverside Cemetery of French Lake Township.
Visitation was Friday, June 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Good Shepherd Free Lutheran Church in Cokato, with a prayer service at 7:30 p.m.; and continued Saturday, one hour prior to the service.
Memorials preferred to the Good Shepherd Free Lutheran Church of Cokato and CentraCare Health Foundation (St. Cloud Hospital).
Arrangements were by Swanson-Peterson Funeral Home of Cokato; www.swansonpeterson.com.

A North Carolina woman has just written an intriguing reminiscence of Marc Chagall, the famous 20th century artist. The book is titled Sharing Chagall: A Memoir.
Vivian Jacobson traces her association with Chagall from her days in Chicago when she and her husband hosted a reception for the noted artist on behalf of the Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem, Israel. Following that event, she became a founding member of the American Friends of Chagall's Biblical Message Museum in Nice, France. Ultimately, as President of that organization, her closeness with Chagall grew as she served as the primary American source of fund raising for major international projects for the Museum.
During an eleven year relationship working on Chagall's behalf, Vivian Jacobson traveled back and forth to France, to other European countries and to Israel as her personal friendship with Chagall and members of his family developed.
In 1978 she began giving lectures on her experiences with the man who has been called a pioneer of modernism and one of the greatest figurative artists of his century. From her recollections of the time spent with Chagall, and from her study, research and a vast collection of documents, memorabilia and photographs, Vivian Jacobson created a dozen lectures touching on many aspects of Chagall's life.
She has presented her talks at art galleries, museums, churches, synagogues, colleges and schools nationally, as well as in Europe and Israel. In 2001 Vivian Jacobson was appointed a speaker on Marc Chagall for the North Carolina Humanities Council Forum, a post she still holds. Out of the wealth of information she has gathered and conveyed to her audiences, came the writing of her memoir, Sharing Chagall.
Although many scholarly volumes have been written on Chagall, the artist, whose unique career spanned virtually every artistic medium, including paintings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics and tapestries, Vivian Jacobson has instead taken a personal approach as she brings to her readers the essence of Chagall, the man. He inspired her with his message of Hope, Peace, Reconciliation and Love.
The book contains a complimentary note from Benjamin Harshav of Yale University, a foremost academician and biographer of Chagall, and with whose encouragement, she undertook the writing of Sharing Chagall. Also included in the book is a lengthy appendix of other writings about Chagall, listings of where Chagall works can be found, as well as catalogs, posters, and other reference sources
For the student of Chagall, or for the casual reader who just wants to know a little more about the icon of the 20th century art world, the appendix is worth more than the price of the book. For additional information, contact the author at email@example.com.

The coalition: A problem with legitimacy
By Professor Stephen Haseler, Professor of Government and Director of the Global Policy Institute, London Metropolitan University
It remains a truism, but worth repeating over and over again: that modern representative government needs a proportionate electoral system that properly reflects the political opinions and values of the people- and that normally a coalition government will result.
The sad fact, though, for the British, is that for all the talk of 'British democracy' and 'the mother of parliaments' our parliament has rarely been representative. Consider the facts. Since the war not one, not one, of the single-party British governments that have been formed following an election has possessed the support of over 50% of the electorate. Even the two great reforming governments of the post-war era- both securing parliamentary 'landslides' and both using these supposed 'landslides' to carry through radical changes to the very way we live- fell short of securing majority support.
So, on the face of it, the present Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government is more representative than any of the earlier governments of the post-war era. After all, when added together, the Conservative and Liberal vote in 2010 amounted to 59% of the electorate; and the percentage of Conservative and Liberal MPs in the parliament roughly reflects that figure. Thus, so it is argued, this coalition, no matter its controversial genesis, does at least reflect the peoples will.
But does it? For the awkward question remains: how many voters actually voted for it? How many voters when casting their ballots in the general election believed they were voting for a Conservative-Liberal administration? Did many amongst the millions who voted Tory envisage a coalition with a party that had savaged them in the campaign and stood for radically overhauling the political system? More importantly, did any but a handfull of Lib-Dem voters envisage a coalition with an ultra-orthodox right-wing Chancellor who would go about cutting public expenditure deeply and quickly? Could many have envisaged their 'left of centre' party in the aftermath of the bitter election campaign actually strike up a coalition with the party's historic ideological adversaries? It is difficult to believe. And herein lies the big democratic deficit at the heart of the country's new coalition venture- a deficit that brings into question the new coalition government's very democratic legitimacy.
Contrast the making of this Conservative-Lib Dem coalition with the making of the present German coalition elected in September 2009. In the 2009 German federal election, German voters had one great advantage over British voters in 2010: they knew what they were voting for. For in the run up to the election campaign, and in the campaign itself, each party leader had made it abundantly clear which party they would prefer to deal with following the election.
Contrast this with Britain in 2010. The fact is that, unlike their German counter-parts, British voters cast their votes in the dark- without any reasonable knowledge about the likely character of the government that would be formed by the post-election deals. As they cast their votes what information the Lib-Dem voters possessed was pretty meagre. Their leader Nick Clegg had indeed said that, should there be a hung parliament, the party with the 'most votes, most seats' would get the 'first attempt' at forming a government, but that was very different from stating a preference; and the Lib-Dem leadership went out of its way to refuse to answer questions about preferences.
Yet, all the evidence suggests that for many millions of Lib Dem voters the likelihood, in the event of a hung parliament, was of their party sustaining a Labour government – a development that, irrespective of the small 'Orange Book' leadership at the top of the party, flowed naturally from the party's 'left of centre' political culture. So, the decision to back the Conservatives must have come as something of a shock for millions of Lib Dem voters; and, what is more, a shock compounded by the further decision to go beyond simply sustaining a minority Conservative government and, instead, to actually take government jobs for a full five year parliament.
The great danger therefore is that as the economy worsens the new coalition government can increasingly be portrayed as not possessing a firm mandate for action.
This is the problem of legitimacy that is beginning to confront this coalition government- indeed would confront any coalition government formed in this way. And as the severity of the financial crisis increases, with the prospect of mass unemployment returning, then the need for politicians, irrespective of the rights and wrongs of their policies, to secure legitimacy- that is broad public support for the right to take decisions over our lives – becomes even more important. For without it social tensions could quickly spiral out of control.
This coalition government will face real, daunting, economic problems. And it needs to do so on the firm basis of a mandate. So, in my view it is now crucial that the new government moves quickly to re-establish some form of legitimacy behind its controversial economic programme. In my view the best way forward now is for the proposed new electoral system (AV) to be enacted as quickly as possible, and to be followed quickly by a general election under the new system- in which, this time, the party leaders in the campaign should give clear indications of their likely post-election deals. Only then is a real mandate for action properly secured.
Professor Haseler is the author of numerous books, his latest, published this autumn, is MELTDOWN UK: THERE IS ANOTHER WAY

Many warm thanks to Simon for bringing this to my attention. (BBC)
Wisconsin Pajiban, Fi sent in this great video chronicling three days of the protests in Madison.

In two weeks' time we are hosting the UK Finals of of the MOS World Championships here at our Microsoft UK HQ in Reading. Next week we'll tell you more about the second group of 10 finalists (you can find out who is in the first group here), but this week we're going to look at the lasting impact of working towards the MOS Certification, and the tangible employable skills that students acquire along with the qualification itself.
Learning is just as much about skills development as it is about building a bank of knowledge about various topics, and in today's technology-led workplaces, it's important that children learn how to get the most out of the tools and resources available to them. But even before students leave school and enter the world of employment, these skills are put to use in other subjects.
MOS certifications are recognised qualifications from Microsoft that allow students to demonstrate their proficiency in a number of Office applications, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Despite being recognised as a standalone qualification in its own right, a the skills and experience students gain from undertaking the certification add value in other areas of study. For example when processing data or carrying out various statistical analyses from science experiments or a survey, knowing your way around Excel and being able to make the spreadsheet work for you is a huge timesaver and allows you to make otherwise complex tasks much simpler, or when it comes to writing up and presenting a large project, having the same depth and breadth of knowledge in Word and PowerPoint will put you in similarly good stead.
For a real life example of the continuing benefits of taking MOS certifications, we just need to cast our gaze over the Severn Bridge, and towards Treorchy Comprehensive School within the Rhondda Cynon Taf district of South Wales. For the sixth-form students working towards their final exams, the next choice will be whether to continue their studies through into Higher Education, or to go straight into the world of employment. Robert Cook is one who chose the latter, by way of applying for an internship working within the NHS in a non-medical role.
The good news for Robert is that he was offered the position! In fact he has already started his apprenticeship within the NHS on rotation in Pontypridd, but is still studying for his upcoming exams, via remote learning. Matthew Davies - who many readers of this blog will be familiar with as a Microsoft Innovative Expert Educator (#MIEExpert15) - is deputy headeacher at Treorchy, and was kind enough to provide us with this quote from Robert:
"The NHS valued my MOS qualifications and it enabled me to be narrowed down from 365 applicants to one. After talking with my employer, who is the head of software development at Cwm Taff, he said he valued my Microsoft experience greatly and it made me stand out."
Rhondda Cynon Taf and Microsoft IT Academy
Robert's story, however, is just part of the success that teachers and students of the Rhondda Cynon Taf LEA have been enjoying thanks to their involvement with the Microsoft Education. Through the Microsoft IT Academy, Teaching with Technology, Microsoft Certified Educator, 21st Century Learning design and other continued personal development courses that have been used in various combinations across every school in Rhondda Cynon Taf, teachers and students have been able to not only improve their own ICT skills, but put to those skills to use in other subjects, and ultimately for the students, improve their employability prospects.
Below, teachers from the region talk about how the Microsoft Certifications have benefited Rhondda Cynon Taf Council schools through their IT Academy programme both for teacher continued professional development and for their students in helping prepare them for 21st century careers:

Author Elmore Leonard passed away at the age of 87 earlier this week, three weeks after suffering a stroke.
Elmore Leonard, one of the most influential and prolific writers of his generation, has died this week. The prolific writer, whose work has inspired such hit films as Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Jackie Brown and more recently the FX series Justified, was admitted to a hospital in Detroit, Michigan earlier in August after he suffered a stroke. He died whilst still in hospital on Tuesday (20 August).
Elmore Leonard; October 11, 1925 - August 20, 2013.
At 87-years-old, Elmore remained as prolific and involved in his work as he always had and had it not been for his stroke, which ultimately proved to be fatal, he would probably still be writing right now. Throughout his prolific career, Leonard saw more than 20 different works that he had penned get snapped up by Hollywood and used as the basis for films or occasionally for television. Although many of his stories were heavily tampered with on their way to the big screen, as is so often the case, it was the films and shows that treated his story with the most respect, like Justified, 3:10 to Yuma and Get Shorty; that made Leonard such a respected writer.
The cast of Justified issued a statement honouring Leonard following his death.
Upon the new of his death, the cast and crew of the hit FX series Justified, which is based on Leonard's short story Fire in the Hole, released a statement on behalf of the show telling of their shock and sadness at the news. Speaking with Zap2It, writer and producer Graham Yost discussed how influential using Leonard's work was in getting the pilot for the show off the ground. He said, "I'd be working away at the computer like any writer -- 'What's Raylan going to say next?' -- and I would just think, 'Well, what did Elmore have him say?' I would just copy down his dialogue," before going on to discuss how Leonard gave him the thumbs up for his effort, to which Yost replied, "He said, 'I really like this.' I said, 'Of course you do. It's mostly you.'"
Leonard was typically unsatisfied whenever his work was adapted for the screen, but he held a soft spot for justified and his last novel, Raylon - published last year, expanded the Justified story further. Dedicating the novel to the cast and crew, he was pleased with Justified and worked alongside producer Graham Yost often. The obituary statement from the show read, "we were blessed by the time we got to spend with him, and we will miss him. Our thoughts are with his family. Take it easy, Elmore. P.S.: We wrote longer versions of this statement, but as Elmore always said: Leave out the parts people tend to skip."
Elmore Leonard (L), Graham Yost (M) & Timothy Olyphant (R) are honoured at the 2011 Peabody Awards.
