A Great Ride, but Reality Is Returning
By JEFF SOMMER

Americans were bracing for a Monday deadline to sign up for health insurance, after a series of changes that has caused uncertainty among insurers and confusion among consumers.

Too bad for those less than stellar debate performances in the primaries.Rick Perry speaks my language.Great statement from the Governor on Jug Ears´ overreach.
...I too liked Rick a lot. Though willing to get behind Mitt, some clear talk from someone who knows how to hit a target may have made a difference in getting out the votes......the boy wonder is only going to show more of his true colors over the next few years and must be stopped at every turn...
Drudge´s comparisons are correct. This was pure propaganda... Just like ol´ Aldolph and "Uncle Joe" used to do.
If someone was going to evaluate the spree shooting phenomena,they would use science and logic to develop a plan. Obama and the left instead look to exploit the emotion of the day.To me, you would examine the pathology of the shooters and look at precise ways to stop people with loose screws from getting a gun.To the left, a 7 round clip would only mean 7 victims in a shooting instead of 10 or 20,so that´s a valid plan.Deputizing doctors to document people´s guns whereabouts is nothing but a way for the government to compile info on who and where gunowners are.Does anybody really believe that an inner city medicaid doctor is going to grill his patients on guns? I doubt it because inner city shooters are just an accepted part of society,so they would just clog up the system.I haven´t seen one person ask the question,has an NRA member ever been part of a shooting spree? Yet Obama allows an online game to shoot Lapierre in the head.
And it takes a governor to pull the trigger on secession! Do it Governor Perry! You won't be alone.

Between a Need and a Want
My mind has been in a whirlpool this past few days. As usual it started at as fine then it went bad. I was so convinced that I really wanted to stay in Iloilo for another day of lagaw and tambay with officemates, friends and colleagues in the org. Unfortunately (or fortunately… it depends on what angle you look at it), I received an email coming from Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center telling me that I have just been accepted in the job I was applying. I can honestly tell you that I didn't know how to react that time. I wanted the job so badly before. I wanted to be in Cebu but there are just a few bits of reasons that made me doubt:
a. I'm not ready for another adjustment period. Daw naanad nako nga Ilonggo permi upod ko. Naanad man ko sa environment nga dw ka comfortable lang but now I have to be back in the life I used to hate - being in a boarding haus, doing the laundry, worry about where to eat, doing some requirements for the duty (part of the RN HEALS program is to prepare some weekly, monthly and quarterly paperworks) etc.
b. I didn't want to leave AYNLA especially now that I have an obligation in the Negros Occidental Chapter. I want to help MORE. I know I can help better. There are a lot of things in my mind, plans for the org actvities. I can't just quit. And although I can always be an AYNLAn even in the metropolis of Cebu, it's going to be very different, I know :(
c. For practicality reasons I know that my salary would never be enough to keep up with the cost of living in Cebu. I am also worrying about my family's finances. I am worried that instead of being a helping hand I might turn out as an additional burden.
d. As you may have known I have 0 clinical experience and working in a tertiary medical center (the largest medical center outside Metro Manila) just scares the hell out of me. As a student I have neither been exposed to VSMMC nor was I able to experience interacting with Cebuano patients. Though I have to admit the training that I will get will be very extensive (which is actually good if you ask me), I cannot help but think about the fact that I did some shortcut on this. I should have started first as a volunteer in a small hospital.
e. I have to admit also that I miss being in front of the podium. I am talking about my previous job as a lecturer. Fact 101: when you work as a teacher you don't have to earn your students' respect because that's part of the whole package already. But when you work in the clinical setting you still have to earn respect and trust from your bosses. It will be a struggle, I know.
f. I will miss the company of old friends, former classmates, colleagues from NGOs, students, and officemates. One very note worthy is that I also have a few friends na bag-o ko lang nakilala and how I wish I could have more time to hang out with them.
Well, I guess I'd have to take all of this as an opportunity to start anew - new life, new job, new friends. I'm keeping positive about it as I know I have many helping and praying hands behind my back. This is as I have said "crossing the rubicon", there is now more turning back. Between a need and a want… for practicality and career enhancement sake, I'd go for the need.

If safety is what you seek, Troy apartments for rent are the best place to start looking for a new home in the Detroit metropolitan area. Troy is famous for its identity as one of the safest cities in Michigan and provides residents with a typical suburban environment just 22 miles north of Motor City. Appropriate for both young families and empty nesters, Troy gives thousands of Michigan residents exactly what they want out of a community: convenience and cleanliness. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median age here is 41.8, and the population sits at more than 80,900.
When you make one of the many Troy apartments for rent your home, you'll be able to take advantage of the city's many opportunities, including the business community, shopping centers and civic way of life. Rather than operating as a bedroom community, Troy has made a name for itself as a financial and employment hub. According to City-Data, the city's daytime population swells, as more than 64,000 non-residents commute to Troy for work each day.
Various recreational opportunities, organizations and community centers work together to make sure Troy apartments remain desirable places to call home. The Lloyd A. Stage Nature Center, City of Troy Community Center, Troy Family Aquatic Center and the Troy Public Library all offer residents ways to get involved in their community and build lasting friendships.
As an incoming resident searching for Troy apartments for rent, the city will seem even more desirable when you learn that Troy's cost of living index of 91.3 is well below the national average. Because of this, and the amount of food, drink, schools and shopping in town, AreaVibes awarded Troy an "Extremely Livable" livability score of 77. Here, amenities are pretty easy to come by and won't cost you a pretty penny. Residents of apartments in Troy can expect to pay $3.84 for a gallon of gasoline and $2.12 for a gallon of milk.
According to Troy's 2009-2010 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the city's top employers were Gale & Wentworth, Frankel Forbes Cohen, Nykel Management, WRC Properties, Detroit Edison, Liberty Property LTD and Top of Troy. For those seeking higher education, many apartments for rent in Troy are near the International Academy of Design and Technology, the Michigan College of Beauty and Walsh College of Accountancy and Business Administration.

Morocco - for the heat
Few short-haul destinations can truly claim to be hot enough to sunbathe in November. Morocco, where temperatures this weekend are forecast to reach 32ºC, is one, and it's just over three hours from London. Head to Marrakesh to shop, and for excursions into the Atlas Mountains, Essaouira for its atmospheric medina and laid-back charm, or Agadir for a week on the beach.

On April 30, the Mizzou Alumni Association (MAA) teamed with MU Academic Retention Services, the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center and the Legion of Black Collegians to host a fireside chat at the Reynolds Alumni Center as a means of connecting students to successful alumni. The event was the first of what promises to be many activities to come out of the MAA's recently launched "Engaging All Mizzou Alumni: A Plan for Diversity and Inclusiveness" initiative designed to increase involvement of underrepresented alumni populations. On hand for the event were notable alumni including Jon Lawrence, Product Manager, Magellan Midstream Partners, L.C., Tulsa Alumni Chapter President and former MAA governing board member; Dr. Alisa Warren, Executive Director, Missouri Commission on Human Rights; and Councilman Jermaine Reed who represents Kansas City's 3rd District. After a brief opening and introductions by MAA Executive Director Todd McCubbin, each featured alumnus held table conversations with groups of students to share their experiences at Mizzou and field questions. The evening concluded with a drawing for prizes including Mizzou apparel, a year of MAA membership and a $500 scholarship. View photos from the fireside chat here.

text: 11 February 2011 archive Tweet See all show photos TESS GIBERSON always begins her collections with a word. Last season it was "unravelling". For autumn/winter 2011-12, the word is "collage". With that, she set herself a singular sartorial challenge, as she does with each new collection. Happily, she more than rose to the challenge via an unlikely juxtaposition of materials and textures - a chunky wool cardi was paired with a delicate silk top, a button-front chiffon blouse boasted a placket of torn chiffon ruffles, a granny-chic crocheted jacket/shrug was made edgy by skinny leather sleeves, and an oversized black Mongolian lamb vest was tossed on over a pretty pointelle sweater. Short wool and leather skirts were given the patchwork treatment, and thick ribbed cowls came in black or khaki and could be worn over a matching vest or paired with anything else in the collection - or in your existing wardrobe. While Giberson worked with a mostly neutral palette, the addition of shocking vermillion made for a welcome - and wonderful - jolt. All told, this was a collage whose sum was greater than its parts, just as its creator intended. SEE THE TESS GIBERSON SHOW ARCHIVE Lauren David Peden Continue reading Back to top

Will people on the dole vote Republican?
Created by msouder on 9/20/2012 9:16:59 AM
Mitt Romney will not go down as the most gifted wordsmith in American history. Of course, neither would either Bush who won three Presidential contests nor Eisenhower (one of the most garbled speakers of modern times) who won twice. Americans don't base elections on who is the most eloquent, though being a communicator helps.
Whenever someone starts a sentence the way I am about to, it is never a good sign for a candidate: what Mitt Romney meant to say was this.
Around 47% of Americans do not pay income tax. Those Americans, minus a few percent, are likely to support Obama's calls to raise taxes on those who do. That makes the challenge for Romney greater.
While what he actually said was garbled, and probably not as bad as the media has interpreted it, it was pretty bad. He implied that the 47% wouldn't vote for him. Further confusing matters, he mixed stats for income tax payments and those who received their income from government transfer programs. That isn't the only reason you don't pay income taxes (forward losses, income averaging, etc) and many people on a variety of government programs do pay income taxes.
Furthermore, many of those transfer programs aren't exactly pure welfare. Social Security and Medicare contributions were paid by most as well as income taxes. The same is true for other government retirement programs. Other than Medicaid and disability (SSI is part of Social Security but not usually retired citizens) those are the bulk of the dollars.
As for disability, there are many arguments but most of those who receive benefits have clearly proven to a judge that they are eligible. People often confuse, for example, people who use handicapped parking spaces for the disabled. After knee surgery, you get a parking space card but not disability from the government in most cases. Furthermore, many people get disability from private plans. Yet I hear, all the time, that so and so gets disability and doesn't deserve it.
I believe, having been through this as this area's congressman and with personal cases of people I know, that the government may be a little lax but not as much as popular perception is regarding the issue. I feel the laws may be a little lax about what people could perform but that is another question.
However, implying that people on disability, Medicaid, AFDC or food stamps are "deadbeats" was a bit much. It was especially ill-considered for a man running for President whose biggest problem is that he is perceived as a rich guy who can't relate to average people.
Will it cost Romney the election? No. A major reason is similar to Bill Clinton's moral behavior and lying. His supporters already knew he was, well, that way because of repeated problems through his whole life. They factored in that he was a good ole boy who lacked self-control in numerous areas, and "exaggerated" or "denied" a wide variety of things.
For Romney, we already know he garbles his English, can't explain well at times and is wealthy. So, if you are pro-life, how does this matter? If you are a gun owner, it doesn't change. Didn't Obama "smart mouth" in a San Francisco reception about we people who cling to our Bibles and our guns? What if you are someone concerned about our poor foreign policy or national defense? As you watch the Middle East, it seems more important than botched wording at a fund-raising reception. Or if you support Israel, and the current President doesn't have time to meet with the head of Israel but again goes on David Letterman's show? And then, of course, there are the little issues: the exploding deficit and the highest unemployment stretch since the Great Depression. Oh that's right, those little things.
The question is whether Romney can best avoid America becoming like Greece and other nations facing catastrophic economic disasters, not whether he's insensitive.
If you are on the dole, and could work, chances are you are more concerned about having someone as President who can best help you get a job as opposed whether you like the guy a lot. When going in for heart surgery, I want the surgeon to be able to fix my heart, not be a nice guy to chat with.
So, overall, this is another blip in a closely divided election. And one exaggerated by a press that is not exactly neutral. But the fundamental issues remain and I believe it will likely stay close. There are a lot of events to play out. The stock market gains may be helping Obama more than what Romney garbled at a fund-raising reception. International issues loom huge right now, as a risk/gain factor in this election (and for the world's peace).
Still, it was a really stupid mistake. But it is time to move on and get to the real issues.

What is UX for Good?
UX for Good is a wildly ambitious effort to design systemic solutions for some of the most vexing social challenges. Top user experience designers convene to tackle problems that matter in the only event of its kind. Assisting the designers are philanthropic change makers and some of the most interesting, creative thinkers we know.
In our 2013 event, user experience designers from around the world will gather in Vancouver, Canada. Selected from some of the world's most important tech companies and hottest boutique firms, these twelve UX masters will put their heads together not to build a better online shopping cart, but to take on a fundamental problem in education: how to embed social and emotional learning into children's school experience.
Our partner in this event is the Vancouver-based Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education. The center draws its inspiration from a question His Holiness asked in a visit to Vancouver: "How can we educate the hearts of children?" Taking its mission from this question, the Center will also host its 2013 Heart-Mind Conference in conjunction with UX for Good on May 9-12.
Over these four days, the UX designers will fan out across Vancouver, learning everything they can about the region's public schools and diverse communities. They'll also gain insight into the latest scientific discoveries about social and emotional learning. Finally, they'll sequester themselves for a day to design interventions that will benefit the children of British Columbia and the rest of the world.
Now in our third year, UX for Good has staged events in Chicago (2011) and New Orleans (2012), tackling challenges ranging from urban violence to the music economy. Last year's event, in partnership with The GRAMMY Foundation, MusiCares, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative, was the 2013 Interaction Awards People's Choice Award winner.
The Latest
We Can Do Better
Jason Ulaszek, UX for Good
UX designers still don't know how powerful they are. Since we launched UX for Good in 2011, I have had the privilege to work alongside some of the most talented designers in the country. Even they didn't fully understand the value that they bring to every challenge, including some of the world's most intractable social problems. We don't appreciate our unique ability to actively listen, empathize, connect disparate ideas, and visualize holistic solutions.
I'm exceedingly proud of the designers we've convened for the 2013 event. As in years past, they include some of the most respected figured in our industry. An exciting addition this year will be several designers from around the globe -- appropriate for our first event outside the United States. As they tackle the challenge assigned to them by the Dalai Lama Center, we believe this will be an important step in showing the industry and the world that UX can help solve the most meaningful problems.
Setting Up Teams to Break
Down Barriers
Andrew Benedict-Nelson, Insight Labs
The heart and the head. Emotion and logic. Body and mind. Setting up dichotomies keeps getting us humans in trouble - and we keep doing it anyway.
UX for Good is no exception. This year our designers will be divided into two teams. Each will investigate a different aspect of "teaching the heart." Yet they will be united by a common question: How can we embed the social and emotional learning of children and youth in the education system of British Columbia (Canada)?
Team One will seek ways to embed the "teaching of the heart" into interactions that take place between children and adults. Since they'll be working within the local school system, relationships between students and teachers will be an important consideration. However, they can also draw upon the many different kinds of interactions that kids have with administrators, coaches, paraprofessionals, and other adults they may encounter in school. The pattern of these interactions may be informed by systemic factors like education policies and school curricula. But the main focus should always be on the actual exchanges that take place between adults and children.
Team Two will investigate what the school system could do to embed social and emotional learning into the relationships between student and student, child and child. Of course, the number of possible ways for two children to relate to each other is as great as it is for human beings at any age. Nevertheless, the designers should pay careful attention to these different kinds of relationships and the contexts in which they occur, thinking the ways in which "teaching the heart" could fit in. The scale of the solutions devised by the designers could be one-on-one, or it could involve every student in British Columbia (and beyond).
At the end of the event, the two teams will present their findings. Then two will become one again, as the Insight Labs team synthesizes all the ideas into a concrete set of recommendations for the Dalai Lama Center, the British Columbian school system, and anyone else willing to open their hearts and minds.
Why teach the heart?
Chris Kelly, Dalai Lama Center
We don't have to make the case for the importance of children's heart-mind learning. It makes its own case in the everyday stories of young peoples' thoughts and actions among themselves and the adults in their lives. To the extent that a child and young person knows she belongs and is cared for, is significant within herself and moved to act compassionately and responsibly towards others - that young person becomes a powerful, positive new force within her community and society.
Knowing the truth of this is not enough. Having that truth galvanize the players in an all-surrounding system of learning and growth compels and enables our young people to see these capacities within themselves and extend them to others. We've all heard "It takes a village to raise a child." We understand, implicitly, what that means. Now it's time to be that village; to know precisely what this means in terms of common purpose, shared knowledge and concerted action and effect on all our parts.
Everything is ready for this. There are profound cases of success where solid beginnings have been made. The time for enabling a generation of primary agents of peace within themselves, their families and friendships, communities and world is right now, right in front of us, in our hands as it is in our own hearts.
Another Set of Hearts and Minds
Jeff Leitner, Insight Labs
The world's most challenging problems require us to bring all sorts of different brains to the table. That's the premise of Insight Labs, the philanthropic think tank I help run. It was also an important principle that led Jason Ulaszek and me to found UX for Good in 2011. Insight Labs has returned as a partner in UX for Good each year since, so that we can see first-hand what happens when finely tuned technical expertise is leveraged in unexpected ways.
But something particularly special happens when those experts are user experience designers. Absorbing the perspectives of many different types of users is a core part of the UX skill set. So when UX designers sit down to collaborate on a problem, the number of minds represented is far greater than the number of people in the room. Multiply that effect by their knack for hacking systems in unexpected ways, and you unleash solutions that are exponentially more powerful than what any of us might come up with alone. We can't wait to see how these big brains tackle the challenge of "teaching the heart."

Power Steering
When the engine is stopped (e.g. when being towed) or the hydraulic system fails, there is no assistance for steering. Therefore, substantially more force will have to be exerted in order to steer.
Note Checking hydraulic fluid
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment. Regular checking of hydraulic fluid is part of servicing. Air Filter Regular filter replacement is part of the routine maintenance service.
Combination Filter
A dirty filter can be the cause of reduced air flow:
Regular filter replacement is part of the routine maintenance service. Fluids/Oils for Manual Transmission and Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
Do not tow the car or run the engine without fluid/ oil in the transmission. The transmission may be damaged by even a tiny speck of dirt, only a clean funnel or spout must be used when adding fluid/ oil. We recommend that you have the fluids/oils changed at your Porsche dealer, who has the required lubricants and the necessary filling equipment.

Spoke with APR at H2O and they are working hard on a tune to turn off the ESP in addition to the ASR. Fingers crossed.
The fact that you can't turn off ESP has kept me from purchasing an R.
The first time it is publicly available, either from a tuner for purchasing, or via Vag Com, I will purchase a Golf R within a month. Guaranteed.
Lets hope it makes its way out soon.
I used to live in Burlington for 2 years when I was younger.
And there is nothing screwy about what I posted. I don't want electronic intervention when I drive, simple as that. My GTI can get the ass out on command and makes it very entertaining to drive, but the non defeatable ESP kicks in and ruins all the fun.
Not to mention with higher HP applications, it comes into play with simple throttle usage.
Light rain yesterday... nice film of oil, got all 4 loose in 2nd AND 3rd... nice long slide, no esp kicking in.
In many ways then this car is like herpes. Great fun catching it but not so much fun living with it every day. - Jeremy Clarkson
I don't know if this would help or not but... Can we get any info from a 2013 gti and have that help figuring any of this out. From what I've heard they have the ability to fully disable traction control. Again I have no idea if this will help or not, just a thought.
I've read almost 80% of this thread and thus far I've come to the conclusion that I am still confused.
Is there a defeat available by unplugging the ABS fuse?
Has anyone successfully done this?
Are the side-effects simply lights on the dash, no abs, and no ESP?

so all-in-all what ive gathered from this lengthy thread is that the USA finally got an awd MANUAL golf but cant use it to its fullest ability because of the ESP?

Comments: We bring Jelly Bellies and Sports Beans with us to Mexico and along with our tips, we give the staff Sports Beans. The Jelly Bellies are given to the kids. Everyone seems to love them. I have never eaten one so I can't actually rate them other than everyone else seems to like them. I also always remember to tell the parents of the kids that if they get to California, make sure they go to the Jelly Belly Factory! |
Comments: I have found these beans to be great nutrition on the Bike and Run leg of my Ironman races. Not only good nutritional value but also taste great and easy to swallow. The perfect alternative to gel's or goo. |
Comments: this product is a good product |
Comments: I have riden my road bike over 3,000 miles the last two years and use Jelly Belly for a pickup durng training and events. It is easy to use easy to carry, and seems to add a pick up during my exercise times. I recommend Jelly Belly to those I ride with. And the price seems to be fair and reasonable. |
Comments: Use during/after bike rides |
Comments: I bought these for my husband. He uses them before a run or a bike ride for enery. He says they work well for him! |
Comments: I've been running fairly consistently for nearly 4 years. Typically, I try to get out for a long run about once a week. On those runs I've tried everything: gels, sports bars, sports drinks, water, etc., but nothing compares to Sports Beans. On the suggestion of a friend, I picked up a few packets, and decided to take one along with me this morning. I popped a few of the variety pack beans in every 20-30 minutes, and was able to do my 8 miler, with significant hills, without any problem. My only regret is that I haven't tried these sooner! They go down easy, are flavorful, and gave me that extra boost I needed as I was climbing. Looking forward to next's weekend's long run already! |
Comments: Taste was not good, not a fan. I would prefer regular Jelly Beans. |
Comments: I used these while mountain biking. They do all they should and taste great also. Only con I can come up with is they are hard to eat while riding. I don't mind taking a break every half hour or so, so not that big of a deal. And I do recommend them to everyone with in ear shot. |
Comments: These are great for replenishment before, during, and after long distance running. The beans are easy to carry and easy to swallow. They are very flavorful and sweet and provide a real exercise boost. |
Comments: These are great both pre and post workout. I am looking foward to having them before my marathon this weekend! :-) |
Comments: I ordered two cases for our state swim meet and gave them as "fire up" gifts to the high school kids. They loved them and used the beans all 3 days of our meet. Fun treat! |
Comments: I like to use the Sport Beans shortly before longer runs (5 miles +) or if I'm in a hurry between activities with the kids. The individual pouches make the Beans easy to handle yet allow me to have enough to share with my kids if needed. Everyone in the family loves them so I can even use them as a reward and only I know they are nutritious. |
Comments: As an crosstrainer, my workouts consist of alot of running and alot of weightlifting 5 days a week. Jelly Belly sport beans provide energy for sustained runs and post workout glycogen for muscles. I have a measurably faster recovery time when I run and train with jelly belly. |
Comments: Running, biking, after swim. It's a great pick me up. I put together a welcome bag for a friend of mine that recently went back to work and put a couple of packs of "Sports-Beans" in the W/B. She loved them and asked me where I got them. Her son, in the Military, wanted a case to take w/him on his reserve weekend! They R GREAT! |

#MyJihad in Nigeria: Muslim jihad group murders three South Korean doctors, beheading one
Posted by Robert on February 10, 2013 8:28 AM
"Two of the men had their throats slit. Attackers beheaded the other doctor."
"When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks..." -- Qur'an 47:4
"Attackers Kill 3 South Korean Doctors in Nigeria," from the [1] Associated Press, February 10 (thanks to Lookmann):
POTISKUM, Nigeria (AP) — Assailants in northeastern Nigeria killed three South Korean doctors, beheading one of the physicians, in the latest attack on health workers in a nation under assault by a radical Islamic sect, officials said Sunday.The deaths Saturday night of the doctors in Potiskum, a town in Yobe state long under attack by the sect known as Boko Haram, comes after gunmen killed at least nine women administering polio vaccines in Kano, the major city of Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north.
The two attacks raise new questions over whether the extremist sect, targeted by Nigeria's police and military, has picked a new soft target in its guerrilla campaign of shootings and bombings across the nation.
The attackers apparently struck at the South Korean doctors inside their home, an official at General Hospital in Potiskum, a government-run health facility, told The Associated Press. The South Korean doctors had no security guards at their residence and typically traveled around the city via three-wheel taxis without a police escort, said the official who insisted upon anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists.
By the time soldiers arrived at the house, they found the doctors' wives cowering in a flower bed outside their home, the official said. At the property, they found the corpses of the men, all bearing what appeared to be machete wounds.
An AP journalist later saw the South Korean doctors' corpses before they were moved to nearby Bauchi state for safe keeping. Two of the men had their throats slit. Attackers beheaded the other doctor....
No one claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion fell on the Boko Haram sect....
In a statement Friday, President Goodluck Jonathan condemned the killings of the polio workers and promised that efforts to cut child mortality wouldn't be stopped by "mindless acts of terrorism."
"While the government will continue to do everything possible to track down and apprehend agents of terrorism in the country, the president has directed that enhanced security measures be put in place immediately for health workers in high-risk areas," the statement read.
Despite that promise, however, attackers apparently were able to kill the South Korean doctors and slip away. Reuben Abati, a presidential spokesman, did not respond to a request for comment Sunday.
Maybe the jihadis have friends in high places, who share their beliefs and ideology.

With cascading dreadlocks, Zahra Redwood, 25, was the first Miss Jamaica to be crowned from the country's minority Rastafarian faith. She is also shaking up a years-old view among many Rastas that beauty pageants should be shunned as degrading to women.
Not all Rastafarians smoke marijuana. Redwood, is a classically beautiful Jamaican with a degree in biotechnology and zoology.

Let's lower our voices and moderate our tone
I am not an expert on women, but I see no virtue in pitting American women of any party, race, age, social status or ethnic group against each other, nor do I see any gains to be made from using our differences as a weapon to bloody the opposition.
"We are not amused." – Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria, now there was one tough lady at a time when toughness was considered the sole province of men. I suppose Hillary Rosen could have said that Queen V hadn't worked a day in her life either, and she might have been right if she was talking about a 9-5 hourly wage job, but Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire for 63 years, and few doubted her qualifications.
It amazes me that political strategists and pollsters think they can strip away all the accouterments that make up the outward face of women, isolate and label them like an entomologist pinning butterflies to a board. If these professionals think women are nothing more than the sum of disparate parts or can be re-assembled like a Mrs. Potato Head (and messaged to accordingly), they have never met a real woman, let alone lived with one.
Ms. Rosen must have made her now famous comment as a result of an acute case of talkingpointitus or suffered a momentary gender lapse, otherwise she wouldn't have coughed up such a hairball, especially at the time when her party's chieftains were mobilizing their troops to ratchet up the War on Women and take it to the Republican barbarian camp and their front-runner, Mitt Romney.
We shouldn't punish people for speaking their minds on national TV. We should just precede their appearances with a couple of their famous quotes thrown up on the screen for the viewers to see in case they've forgotten them. To quote Shakespeare, "The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones," but with so much drivel to sort through in any given day, we need to be reminded occasionally of that evil.
We don't judge books by their covers, so why should we pigeonhole women voters into stereotypical boxes to fit a political narrative or target group? Are all college-age single women alike? Do all working women (those that have out-of-the-home paying jobs) have the same aspirations or share the same ideologies? Are all wealthy women protected from hardships or immune from life-changing personal challenges?
Do all women want their contraception devices or pills paid for and regulated by the government? Is the sisterhood of NOW and other female organizations only comprised of liberal East Coast academic women? Do middle-aged married Mid-Western women only vote for Republican candidates?
Are women more persuadable than men when it comes to education and health-care issues? Are all women pacifists? Do women love their children more and their jobs less (and men the reverse)? Are they all driven by their protective nurturing nature?
What we do to others we do to ourselves
I swear, sometimes these political strategists are nothing more than vultures perched on the hill intimidating the most vulnerable of the herd, waiting for them to show their weakness. Preying on their fears, they wear down their subjects with incessant rhetoric until they succumb.
One hundred and fifty-four years ago, Abraham Lincoln gave a famous speech in Illinois in which he said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." That speech didn't win him the Senate seat he sought, but it did remind a deeply divided nation that it was teetering on the brink of its own dissolution.
I am not an expert on women, but I see no virtue in pitting American women of any party, race, age, social status or ethnic group against each other, nor do I see any gains to be made from using our differences as a weapon to bloody the opposition. What we do to others we do to ourselves, and that inescapable truth ought to be enough to make us want to lower our voices and moderate our tone.

Biography / Administrative history
William Doskoch was born in Laza, Galicia (Austro-Hungarian Empire) now Ukraine, on 5 April, 1893 and left for Canada in 1910. He joined his brother, George who had arrived in Canada in 1905 and was working in the coal mines in British Columbia.
Within a short time, he joined the labour movement and the Socialist Party of British Columbia. He worked in the coal mine at Nanaimo, B.C. until the mine closed in 1915. He travelled to Vancouver and there he was arrested as an enemy alien because he was not yet naturalised. He was sent to the internment camp at Morrisey, B.C. He became active as a spokesman for the internees learning how to read and write in English. He corresponded with the Swedish and Swiss consuls on behalf of the internees. These consular officials represented the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Government in Canada during the First World War.
William Doskoch was later transferred to Mara Lakes, Vernon and finally to Kapuskasing, Ontario where he was released on 9 January, 1920. After his release, he lived and worked as a coal miner in the Edmonton area. In 1923, he worked in Coal Branch. He became involved in the labour movement and union organization in Alberta. As a result of his activities, he was blacklisted from 1927 until 1940. He worked as an organizer for the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees from 1928 until 1930. He then worked for the Farmers Unity League. In late 1939, he found work in the coal mines in Rossdale and Drumheller. He died in January, 1941.
