- Ongoing modernisation of infrastructures
- External and public accounts dependent on hydrocarbons
- Growth not very "inclusive"; difficult business environment
- Heightened political risk: insecurity in the Far-North of the country and increasing tensions between the English-speaking minority and the regime (mostly French-speaking)
Risk assessment
Gas supports the pick-up in activity
Growth is expected to increase in 2019, thanks in particular to the ramp-up of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production at the floating liquefaction unit (Hilli Episeyo) off Kribi. LNG production is expected to offset the gradual decline in crude oil production, due to lower investment in new projects since 2014. The secondary sector should also benefit from the strong performance of construction, driven by investments in projects such as the extension of the deep-water port of Kribi and the construction of the Nachtigal dam. Nonetheless, after the country was stripped of its role as host of the 2019 African Cup of Nations (CAN) football tournament, some investments are expected to be delayed, although road and sports infrastructure projects will likely continue in order to organise the tournament in 2021. Progress in electricity supply, thanks to the commissioning of several hydroelectric dams (Lom-Pangar, Memve'ele), should support manufacturing industries, particularly wood processing and agro-industry. The latter will in turn support agricultural production, which is also set to benefit from efforts to improve the sector's productivity. Nevertheless, weak protection of land rights and limited access to credit, will continue to weigh on primary sector growth. Coffee and cocoa production, which is concentrated in the English-speaking regions, will likely continue to suffer from political instability. It is also expected to dent consumer and business confidence in these regions, constraining service sectors, which are otherwise likely to remain dynamic in 2019.
Persistent fiscal challenges
Cameroon is expected to continue lowering its budget deficit in 2019, thanks to efforts to improve the collection of non-oil revenues. Collecting property taxes through electricity bills and reducing tax exemptions appear to be key priorities as the country seeks to generate additional revenue. Increased LNG production could also support an increase in government revenues. The authorities additionally plan to continue reducing government spending. Measures to improve budget execution, including legislation establishing a code of transparency and good governance, could help to contain recurrent budget overruns. Security spending related, in particular, to the ongoing conflict in the English-speaking regions should nevertheless continue to put pressure on the budget. Low tax revenue generation and the use of non-concessional external debt to finance some projects have worsened the debt risk profile.
The current account deficit will persist in 2019. In particular, imports of capital goods needed to carry out projects will continue to affect the trade balance, which will remain negative despite the expected progress in LNG and wood exports. The deficit in the services account, is expected to continue to be impacted by technical services. The income account will also show a deficit, due to interest payments on the debt. The surplus in the balance of transfers will depend largely on fluctuations in remittances from expatriate workers. Despite FDI flows, debt will likely still be needed to finance the current account deficit. IMF support under a USD 666 million ECF is also helping to address external financing needs. The IMF's agreements with the majority of CEMAC countries, coupled with the rise in oil prices, have helped to ease pressure on foreign exchange reserves at the regional level.
The "Sphinx" faces a crisis in English-speaking regions
In power since 1982, Paul Biya was re-elected for a seventh consecutive term in the presidential elections of October 7, 2018, securing more than 71% of the vote. Despite accusations of fraud and disputed results, Mr Biya, nicknamed the "Sphinx of Etoudi" for his discreet public profile, retains his grip on power. Even so, the drop in voter turnout to less than 54%, 14 points lower than in 2011, reflects the country's growing fragmentation: for example, fewer than 10% of voters cast their ballots in the English-speaking regions in the Southwest and Northwest of the country. The low turnout is the result of the deteriorating political and security situation in these regions since the end of 2016. Clashes between separatists and the army intensified in 2018 and continue to be a source of destabilisation in the country. Stability is also being undermined by the activity of Boko Haram, an Islamist terrorist group, in the Far-North. The withdrawal of the 2019 CAN, due to these growing security concerns and delays in the preparation work, furher undermines, both domestically and internationally, the image of Paul Biya.
The business climate suffers from a cumbersome and complex institutional and regulatory environment, as evidenced by the country's 166th place (out of 190) in the Doing Business 2019 ranking, and the prevalence of corruption.

You should be evaluated and treated by a clinical immunologist. There are other immunological conditions that can cause lymphopenia other than HIV-1 or HIV-2. It appears that HIV has more than been ruled out by your 32 negative tests!
I'll reprint some information from the archives on idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia. This condition affects primarily CD4 cells; however, it may provide insight into your problem as well. In light of the degree of your immunodeficiency, you should be treated with opportunistic infection prophylaxis.
Good luck.

Please help!!! DONATION Feb 8, 2009
Dear Doctor,
I am a 37-year-old man, and 6,5 months ago I had a risky exposure (unprotected sexual contact) with a woman with unknown HIV status. 6,5 weeks after this exposure, I had several symptoms such as fever for a week, sore throat, one swollen lymph node under neck and severe muscle pain. At the time of my illness and also 3 months and 6 months after the contact I was tested negative for HIV with Ag+Ab testing. But when my symptoms began I suffered from tongue problems (black hairy tongue which lasted for 1 week) and since that time I am suffering other tongue problems which are : light-brown coating on my tongue and white points/patches along the side of my tongue. In addition, I have a never-healing athlete's foot for 3 months and swallowing problems and chest pain. This week I have again been extensively investigated in the hospital with biopsies and endoscopies and diagnosed with leukoplakia on my tongue and what much worse is PCP (Pneumocystis pneumonia) which causes my swallowing problems and chest pain. My doctors said that the leukoplakia I have on my tongue is resembling oral hairly leukoplakia and PCP almost always occur with HIV positive persons. They have said that both of these symptoms/illnesses are ARC although I still had a negative HIV test which they had no explanation for. So, in short, they have diagnosed me with AIDS. But, I don't understand why I still test negative with HIV tests. So far I had several HIV Ag+Ab (Ab for HIV1&2, Ag for HIV-1) test and one PCR test for HIV1 which came back negative. Almost all guidelines say that the maximum window period is 3 months and may be extended to 6 months if you have a kind of autoimmune disease which I am sure I didn't have. At the moment I have no idea what I should do and how I should move. Can you please help me and suggest anything you may think about?
Thank you very much in advance.You are amazing person!
Response from Dr. Frascino
You do not have AIDS. Your repeatedly negative HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody plus antigen tests plus your undetectable PCR out to six months from your potential exposure are definitive and conclusive. You are not HIV positive and therefore by definition cannot have AIDS.
Your diagnoses, including PCP (pneumocystis carinii pneumonia) and oral hairy leukoplakia, etc. are suggestive of immune deficiency. However, there are a number of medical conditions that can cause immune deficiency (or immune suppression) other than HIV. I would suggest you see a clinical immunologist for a complete evaluation. I would also suggest you have your T-cell subsets checked. I'll reprint below some information from the archives on one type of non-HIV-related immune deficiency disease: idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL).
Good luck!

ICL Jul 1, 2007
I have a question about the definition of Idiopathic CD4 Lymphocytopenia (ICL). First off I know about the qualification of less than 300 cd4 count ( or less than 20%) on two or more occasions and being HIV negative.
One thing I want to know is does the person also have to have an AIDS defining disease or can they be clinicly asymptomatic?
Also is the less than 300 T cell count (or under 20%) mandatory? In other words if a person had an AIDS defining disease(lets say chronic TB), was HIV negative, but had a T-cell count of 650 would he qualify as ICL or would he be just a TB patient?
Thanks for your help, Daniel
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Daniel,
The case-definition criteria for ICL include:
CD4 count less than 300 or CD4% less than 20% on two or more measurements.
Lack of evidence of HIV infection.
Absence of alternative explanations for the CD4-cell lymphocytopenia, including Sjgren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, radiation, atopic dermatitis, collagen vascular disease, steroid therapy or lymphoma.
Please note, transient unexplained decreases in CD4 cells may occur in healthy persons.
To answer your specific questions:
No, a person does not need an AIDS-defining disease to have ICL. They need only to meet the three criteria listed above.
Is a count of less than 300 or less than 20% mandatory? Yes, it's the first criterion listed above.
A person with TB and CD4 count of 650 would have TB, not ICL, because she didn't meet this first criterion above. (I should also point out that TB is only considered to be an AIDS-defining illness in folks who definitively have HIV infection.)

i ahve got Idiopathic cd4 lymphocytopenia (IDIOPATHIC CD4 LYMPHOCYTOPENIA) (ICL) Jan 20, 2008
Hello Doctor,
after few weeks of having tested negative from HIV , all my happiness has gone. I have got idiopathic cd4 lymphocytopenia. Now i really wish to have been HIV+. My only thoughts now are about my future time waiting for my death. Hope you can answer me , only two questions. -I know that there are not drugs for this sickness, how long will it take to die? -And how painful it will be?
Im so scared that i'm only thinking about suicide now.
Please help....
Response from Dr. Frascino
If you have ICL (idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia), you should be followed by a clinical immunologist who is both knowledgeable and experienced in treating this relatively rare condition. The first thing he or she would do is confirm the diagnosis by ruling out other illnesses associated with low CD4 counts, such as Sjgren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, etc.
Next, why are your "only thoughts now about waiting for death"??? If indeed you do have ICL, your prognosis is quite good! (Much better than mine with HIV, for instance.) "How painful will it be"??? ". . . i'm only thinking about suicide now." Hmm . . . aren't you being just the tiniest bit overdramatic dearie??? OK, you're scared. I get that, but becoming hysterical and suicidal over an illness with a good prognosis seems as bit whacked to me. Gosh, if I reacted that way when I received my HIV diagnosis (a much, much, much worse prognosis than ICL), I wouldn't be here today (a full 17 years after my diagnosis) answering questions like yours.
I'll reprint some information from the archives about ICL. Please note we are using IL-2 (interleukin-2) and gamma interferon as well as other agents to treat ICL!

Confused in testing (IDIOPATHIC CD4 LYMPHOCYTOPENIA) (ICL) Jun 15, 2007
Hi Doctor Bob,
Yes it is me again, but I am even more confused by my test results.
I have tested HIV- on the standard testing in week 10 since my last exposure. The specialst took another test for my PCR which was undetectable at 50 approx 3 months after my exposure. (Remember my EBV test came back negative a month ago)?? She has taken another blood count and everything is fine except my CD4(208) and my CD8(133). Can you help me understand what in the world is going on?? We are awaiting the test results from the P42, but what should I expect as an outcome? Is the EBV causing this drastic decline in My CD counts? Is stress an important role in those counts.
Much appreciation for your reponse. I am wondering how in the world you find the time to be so generous:)
Response from Dr. Frascino
If your CD4 and CD8 counts are persistently low and your HIV-1 and HIV-2 tests, consistently negative, I would suggest you consult a clinical immunologist. There are a variety of illnesses that can result in abnormal T-cell subsets, including ICL (idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia). (See below.) I do not believe this is the result merely of stress or EBV. Ask your doctor for a referral to a clinical immunologist or consult one at your nearest major medical center.
I wish I could provide a more detailed response; however, this is not the type of problem that can be handled effectively over the Internet with limited information and without the benefit of a physician examination and complete medical records.
Good luck.

Non hiv aids (IDIOPATHIC CD4 LYMPHOCYTOPENIA) (ICL) May 9, 2007
Dr. Bob, I read that about 1% of all aids cases do not involve an hiv virus that can be found. Could that be the cause of a number of us who from every indication other than a test believe we might be hiv positive. I have tested negative past two years from a high risk exposure. However, besides the acute symptoms which included fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes at 6weeks post exposure I also have the white and sometimes discomfoprting tongue[ been there since right after acute symptoms and still there], I developed floaters and now what appears to be ks lesions on lower leg.[ these two lesions do not go away. They are round and pink], this accompanied by swelling on dauily basis. It is all so very strange but I want your opinion. I can tell from this website I would not be the only one interested in your answer. Also, if this is a possibility where could I get more info in regards to non hiv aids?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Non-HIV AIDS is a misnomer. AIDS is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Period! That said, there are other conditions that can cause immunodeficiency. Cancer chemotherapy and use of certain immunosuppressive drugs for instance can cause immune deficiency, which in turn can result in opportunistic infections identical to those seen in AIDS. The condition I believe you are referring to is idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL). I'll reprint some posts from the archives that address this condition. Please note your "1% of all AIDS cases do not involve an HIV virus" is way, way, way too high, if you are referring to ICL!
Regarding your situation, you have tested negative past two years. That means HIV is not your problem. No way! No how! As for your "symptoms," I do not know what a "discomfoprting" tongue is. I can also advise you emphatically, that you do not have Kaposi sarcoma!! If you have unexplained symptoms, have your doctor check them out. If no physical cause can be identified, which I strongly suspect will be the case, I suggest you consider a psychosomatic cause. Counseling may well help.
Good luck.

Dr Bob is it hot in here. Or is it you? Love you (ICL) Oct 16, 2006
Dr Bob unfortunately I found myself in the same condition. Here is my story back in 1997 I had a sexual partner which after two years into the relationship and a long history of unprotected sex found out she was HIV positive, however after rigorously testing I remained negative, time flew fast and in 2002 I began to have serious health problems such as trush which was diagnosed and treated, generalized swollen lymph nodes (pretty much in my neck and underarms) constant fatigue and rash once in a while, then my Doctor ordered more HIV testing (Sep 2002) DNA PCR, Elisa and CD4 count and surprisely everything was negative, except for the CD4 count and % (225 and 14%) He told me not to be alamed by this that he would repeat the CD4 count to make sure. One month later the results were almost the same CD4 239 13% then I was diagnosed witn ICL and reported to the CDC (currently I visit my doctor every 3 or 4 months to follow up ang get tested and recieve medicine for preventing OI's) After this I contacted mi ex and told her about it, she invited me over and told me that she was already diagnosed with AIDS and that recently had survived an attack of PCP and soon will iniciate chemo to treat KS. Today i'm at lost and do not where to turn for help please give me some light on this dark tunel I'm going through. I'm a good person and if I have some undetectable HIV I want to have the opportunity to be treated please tell what shoul I do. below i post this article that applies to my situation and I believe to many readers of this forum. Condition Reported in HIV Negative Patient
1996 MAY 13 -- In a letter that appeared in the May 2, 1996, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM 1996;334:1202-1203), a Spanish team of physicians described a case of idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia in a woman who tested negative for HIV. "CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia is extremely rare in the absence of ... HIV infection in asymptomatic persons," wrote Dr. Eduardo Fernandez-Cruz of Madrid, Spain. Although the woman had no evidence of HIV infection, she did have a history of unprotected sex with an HIV positive partner who developed AIDS.
Fernandez-Cruz has followed the 30-year-old patient for more than five years, and, despite repeated testing, he has detected no evidence of HIV infection. Serologic tests for antibodies to HIV types 1 and 2, recombinant HIV-1 Anticore EIA, Western blot assays and peripheral-blood mononuclear cell cultures remain negative, as do serial PCR assays for HIV proviral DNA.
Test results for antibodies to a variety of other infectious agents, including human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I and II, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B and C, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are also negative. Overall, this patient has met the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria for a diagnosis of idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia, he said.
"The fact that our patient has had repeated sexual contact with an HIV infected man before the development of idiopathic CD+ T-lymphocytopenia raises the possibility of the involvement of HIV in her asymptomatic immunodeficiency." Take care Bob because we need you..
Response from Dr. Frascino
ICL is a rare and incompletely understood immunological condition. I'll post some information from the archives below.
Your situation, ICL after having contact with someone who has AIDS, is even more remote. I would assume you are being followed by a clinical immunologist or HIV/AIDS specialist (if not, you should be) and that your ex also has an AIDS specialist physician managing her case. I would advise your two specialist physicians contact each other to discuss your situation. Since your case has already been reported to the CDC, you might contact them and let them do the follow up. At any rate, viral-type-and-strain testing could be conducted on the extremely remote chance something was missed in your initial workup. If not, it is indeed possible this is just a rare case of two completely separate conditions that just happen to be occurring at the same time. The chances of this happening are, of course, extremely rare. But extremely rare things do occur "extremely rarely," right?!? I understand your concern, and with appropriate follow-up testing, we should be able to clear up any residual doubts. Good luck. Keep me posted, OK?

Prevalence of ICL
Mar 13, 2006
In a 1996 response Mr. Sowdasky explained Idiopathic CD4+ Lymphocytopenia (ICL) sometimes called non HIV AIDS. Several times, Mr. Sowdasky called the condition rare. Have there been any studies on the prevalence of ICL? If so, what have they found?
Thank you
Response from Dr. Frascino
ICL is not a specific disease caused by a single agent, but rather a syndrome characterized by an abnormal laboratory test (low CD4) not linked to other medical conditions. Generally the CDC receives notice of about one ICL case per month. I'll reprint a recent post from the archives that discusses ICL.
Dr. Bob
HIV-NEGATIVE AIDS Feb 23, 2006
Assuming HIV is the cause of AIDS (and assuming the CDC didn't botch the HIV=AIDS definition), then what is the cause of HIV-Negative AIDS (idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia)?
Response from Dr. Frascino
"Idiopathic" by definition means the disease has no known cause. If it did, it would no longer be idiopathic! What we do know about idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL) is that it's not caused by an infectious or transmissible agent. I'll reprint a question from the archives that discusses ICL.
Dr. Bob
THIS IS NOT IN THE ARCHIVES!! Nov 17, 2005
Youve ignored this before and im asking again because i know its not in the archives. Simple question! Can someone have symptoms of HIV infection and then develop ICL? or is ICL independent of HIV like symptoms?
Response from Dr. Frascino
O.K., here's the scoop on what we know about Idiopathic CD4 Lymphocytopenia (ICL). By definition, it's a syndrome characterized by low CD4 counts (less than 300) that are not caused by HIV or other medical conditions (Sjogrens Syndrome, Sarcoid, Radiation therapy, atopic dermatitis, steroid therapy or lymphoma). Transient unexplained decreases in CD4s can occur in healthy folks. Several important observations have been made about ICL:
There is no evidence it is caused by an infectious agent, as there is no clustering or evidence of spread from contact evaluations.
The most common opportunistic infections associated with ICL are cryptococcosis, molluscum and histoplasmosis. In general, folks with ICL have fewer OIs than HIV/AIDS patients for any given CD4 level. Infections, such as PCP, Candida and KS (HHV-8), are unusual for ICL.
ICL patients generally have a relatively good prognosis and their CD4 counts remain stable.
Presently ICL is being treated with IL-2 and gamma interferon, but since cases are relatively rare, treatment experience is limited. Cases of ICL should be reported to local and/or state health departments for follow-up.
That may be more information than you or our readers wanted to know, but at least you won't accuse me of ignoring you any longer, right?

Pocopson Gutter Systems Installation & Protection
Many older Pocopson homes have poorly designed gutter systems for water drainage. Gutters are usually taken for granted until it rains! If they are not taken care of, they can cause extensive damage to both the outside and inside of your house.

A recent study found that there is substantial variation in policies and policy quality in regard to dietary supplement use in children's hospitals even though more than 30% of children in the United States take dietary supplements regularly according to a review of nationally representative data from the 1999–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (Picciano, 2007).
Researchers at the Osher Center at Harvard University and their colleagues undertook a study to examine pediatric hospital policies regarding dietary supplements. They administered a survey to pharmacy directors of 186 eligible member organizations of the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) to assess: written policies addressing dietary supplements; how such policies are made; and responsibilities for storage, administration, documentation, and checking for potential interactions.
Out of the 109 survey respondents, 44% had written policies on vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other dietary supplements. Few hospitals had herbs or other dietary supplements on formulary. However, most allowed patients to use their home supply of dietary supplements under defined circumstances. The researchers created a 10-point hospital policy and practices quality score to assess the quality of each policy. They found that 11% of the hospitals satisfied the 10 criteria necessary for a perfect hospital policy and practices quality score. The researchers also noted that policy development is complicated by the lack of assurance of quality and standardization of dietary supplements, the lack of safety and efficacy data for pediatric patients, and the difficulty of standardized pharmacy practices.
The authors conclude that National guidelines for dietary supplement polices need to be developed to ensure the safe use of dietary supplements in pediatric hospital settings.

Ask Hopeful Henry: How to get certification for a guide dog
In honor of today being the anniversary of the Seeing Eye Guide Dog, I thought it appropriate to answer a question I received from Doug.
Dear Hopeful: I am disabled and I would like to find out how to get my dog certified as a guide dog. Can you help? — Doug
Dear Doug: The issue of the guide dog certification is a confusing one. First, let's start with defining guide dog. A guide dog is a dog individually trained to assist a person with disabilities. A guide dog is a working dog, not a pet. Most guide dogs are larger breeds like golden retrievers or Labrador retrievers. Other breeds can also make excellent guide dogs, the most important trait is that the breed is people-oriented, confident, easy to train, not over protective and not overactive.
Training your dog to become a guide dog is a very important part of the process. Guide dog training includes three main areas: manners, obedience with public area skills and task training. Additionally a guide dog must be taught a few extra things over and above standard dog training including to relieve himself on command; ignore food found on the ground or food that is left unattended; to ignore people while working and most importantly the dog must be able to perform three tasks to assist with his owners disability (per ADA recommendation, local laws may differ).
When it comes to "certification" there is no national or State of California law that requires official certification. There are many groups/organizations that you can find on the Internet to get "certification" which will come with a certificate of registration, identification tag, and often a guide dog vest. This is something you can do after your guide dog training has been completed and can be helpful in identifying your dog as a guide dog in public places. When choosing a program, ask lots of questions, observe a training session or certification evaluation and speak with others who have used this program. The certification evaluation should include: the proof of your disability; testing your dog's manners, obedience and socialization skills; and demonstration of at least three tasks beneficial to your specific disability. Any certification program that does not include these standards could be unreliable.
The law does require a guide dog to wear a guide dog tag. To obtain a guide dog tag you need to first get a letter from your doctor stating your need for a guide dog. Your dog must be trained to perform at least one task related to your disability. Once you have these two things you can contact the El Dorado County Heath & Human Services Agency Animal Service at 1120 Shakori Drive, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 or 530-573-7925 to obtain the guide dog tag. If your dog is not licensed you will have to do that prior to getting the guide dog tag. There is no cost for the guide dog tag, but the cost for licensing your dog is $30 for one year or $75 for three years if you live in the city and $20 for one year or $50 for three years if you live in the county.
I found this website (courtesy of Sue at Animal Services) http://www.petpartners.org/Service_Animal_Basics It has some very useful information, goes into more detail and is worth a read
Hope this was helpful. — Hopeful Henry

There have been several unnamed characters that have appeared on Sesame Street in the role of a Librarian.
In a Cookie Monster sketch, a Large Lavender Live Hand Anything Muppet librarian (performed by Richard Hunt) became extremely frustrated due to Cookie's inability to comprehend that the library doesn't have cookies.
A different librarian character was featured in a spot with David singing "The People in Your Neighborhood". This librarian was an Orange Gold Anything Muppet performed by Jim Henson.
Yet another librarian appeared in a sketch with Grover. This Green Anything Muppet Librarian (performed Jerry Nelson) kept telling Grover, who was trying to explain what goes on in a library, to talk more and more quietly until he could not be heard at all.
Other librarians in the Sesame Street universe include Linda, Lisa, Mrs. Turow, and Dalia. While not officially librarians, Maria worked as a part-time assistant at the Sesame Street Library when she was still in school; and Grover would often assist her at the library.

"Any Way You Distort It" (It's Still Plagiarism!) by Mary Deal
"How'd you like my story?" he asked, as I returned his edited manuscript.
We'd built up a good working relationship over the last few months but this was the limit. "C'mon, DH. You copied 'The Horse Dealer's Daughter'," I said. He and I have been through this act before.
"Not really," he said. "I saw a way to make it better."
I almost laughed. "There's no creativity in rewriting someone else's stories. You copied at least one line verbatim." He looked sheepish but shrugged it off. "Your lady, Sable Erwin, like Lawrence's Mabel Pervin, after having been saved from drowning herself in the pond asks, 'Who undressed me?'"
"I liked that line," he said.
"You even used the same staircase scene from Lawrence's story."
"No, my staircase is on the opposite wall." He held up his manuscript. "This is my story. All mine. And it's better."
"These are not yours. You simply rewrite other people's stories by wearing out your Thesaurus. You've used lines straight from original bodies of work. Like…like that." I gestured toward his manuscript. I was sickened by what he'd been doing all along. Frustrated, too, because I'd been editing his work and since I'm not as widely read, didn't catch on right away. "When you submit these around, professional readers spot the similarities."
"With all the writers around today, no one knows who wrote what anymore."
"The only thing your rewriting is getting you is a reputation as the person with the most rejections."
By now, I knew I'd better be careful of what I said. I wasn't going to convince him of the error of his ways but I, at least, wanted to make a point. "I can't edit you anymore," I said. "And you needn't continue to edit my work."
"That's fine with me. Your POVs are always confused anyway."
"That's because you read from a man's point of view. I am woman. If I begin a story with "I" and the antagonist (opposing character) is named Bobby, and the "I" and Bobby is married, then the "I" is female. So you shouldn't ask me to clarify "I" in the first sentence of the story."
"Women use "Bobby."
"Most likely spelled 'Bobbi.' You know I don't write from a male POV."
"Creativity works in many ways," he snapped. He evidently thought the conversation on points of view too hot. "I happen to get inspired by the better writers."
"But you're not creating your own masterpieces. You're just reworking theirs. That's plagiarism any way you distort it."
His expression told me I had said the dreaded word. "What about you?" he asked from the hot seat. "You read Hemingway's 'The Old Man and the Sea' and that's what inspired you to write 'Caught in a Rip.' That's plagiarism. The Old Man is out at sea alone talking to himself. Your Lilly character is out at sea alone talking. What do you call that?"
"Well, first of all, The Old Man is talking to his marlin and to the sharks. He's always safe because he's in a boat and can see the lights of Havana to guide him back to shore." I suddenly realized I didn't have to defend myself but it was too late. "My 'Lillian' is in the water, out of sight of shore and most likely caught in the North Equatorial Current with nothing to her benefit but snorkel, mask and fins. And since she's alone, it took practiced writing skills to get the reader to know that the dialog is interior monologue that everyone probably goes through before they die."
"Same story," he said. "You copied Hemingway." Now he was acting like a person who saw the end of something good and meant to have the last say, but I wasn't through.
"I read Hemingway's book three or four times over two decades," I said. "While it inspired my plots, by the time I wrote "The Tropics," it had been three years since I last read the 'The Old Man.' I didn't pick up Hemingway again until I was into the third draft of my 'Caught in a Rip' story." He said nothing. I couldn't help but finish making my point. "When did you ever put a book aside and never open it while writing you own story?"
"Don't have to," he said. He rolled the manuscript he held into a scroll and tapped it against a palm. "My plots come right from what I've read. Gotta catch inspiration when it happens." He was so in denial.
"DH," I said. "It's one thing to be inspired by great writers; another to write your own story without copying."
"You think I'm not writing my own stuff?" he said, whining.
"When's the last time you've written your own story to final draft without looking at anything that someone else has written?"
He fidgeted, tapped the scroll against his hand again, thinking. He honestly looked like he didn't understand, a way of acting at which I've come to learn he was very good.
I was into this way over my head but I didn't want to read any more of his copy cat stories. And I didn't want him reading any more of my stuff. Had anything I'd written inspired him, he'd probably already rewritten it and sent it out, so my stories wouldn't have a chance if read by a same editor. "DH," I said. "What about your name? You admit your DH Harvey is a pseudonym. No one knows your real name."
"You think I care?"
"Well, now that I've read this takeoff on 'The Horse Dealer's Daughter,' I think I know from where you derived your pen name." I smiled pleasantly when I said that. I had wanted to end this conversation shortly but my curiosity prodded me onward.
"Oh, tell me, please."
"My guess is you fancy yourself a Chekov or a Steinbeck or any of the others you've copied. Now that you've copied DH Lawrence, you've given away the secret of your pseudonym. Lawrence is both a first and last name. So is Harvey. Everyone knows your name is not DH Harvey or DH anything."
Again he hedged. "One reason people use pseudonyms is that they don't want their identities known." So what did he have to hide?
"Let's just end this, okay?" I tried to soften my words because when he tries he really does do a fine edit of my work. "I don't want to exchange edits any more."
"Okay," he said and shrugged. "That leaves me more time to write. I found an opening chapter that I can rewrite for my next novel."
I dared ask, "And what are you borrowing now?"
He looked smug. "I've just finished reading 'The Idiot' by Dostoyevsky," he said. "And I know I can make it better."

CHP: Stockton man, 55, killed in Tahoe snowmobile accident
A 55-year-old Stockton, Calif., man was killed in a snowmobiling accident Saturday near Lake Tahoe, the California Highway Patrol reported Tuesday.
According to a CHP press release, the man was riding a 2011 Skidoo snowmobile east on a trail near Mt. Watson Road, deep into the Tahoe National Forest, north of the Tahoe City area.
Upon entering a curve, the man left the main-traveled portion of the trail. According to CHP, the snowmobile continued off the trail until it struck a tree.
"The impact caused the driver to separate from the snowmobile and strike a fixed object causing fatal injuries," according to the press release.
CHP received a call of the accident at about 4 p.m. Saturday.
CHP is investigating whether alcohol was a factor in the collision, according to the press release.
The man's name was not included in the press release. In a phone call Tuesday afternoon, CHP Officer Tony Prisco said the name will not be released until the Placer County Coroner's Office finishes its assessment.

Short-Rows: A New Method
|Gentle Waves Bag by Myra Wood.
Get the free pattern!
Short-rows are a valuable tool to have in your knitting tool box. You can use them to add length to one section of a garment—I did that in our current knit-along, the Kayleen Pullover.
Since I carry weight in my midsection, my tops usually hang a little higher in the front than in the back. I added a little over two inches of short-rows to the front, which will make my top hang even all the way around.
To figure out how many short-rows to work to add the length I wanted, I used my row gauge. I'm getting 8 rows to the inch, and since I wanted to add two and a half inches to the front, I worked two sets of ten short-rows, about three inches apart.
I could have worked one set of twenty short-rows, but I didn't want the section to look like a pouch, so I decided to break them up.
The trick to really making short-rows work is to effectively hide the wraps. Our method of working short-rows (knit side, purl side), does a nice job hiding the wraps, but I learned a new method for hiding wraps on the knit side, one that works even better!
In episode #1302 of Knitting Daily TV with Vickie Howell, Vickie and Myra Wood demonstrate how to knit short-row wedges to make the Gentle Waves Bag, shown at left.
Myra works short-rows almost the same way as I do, but instead of slipping the stitch purlwise on the knit side, she slips it knitwise. When hiding the wrap, she brings the wrap over the left needle from front to back, placing it to the left of the slipped stitch on the right needle. Then she knits the stitch and the wrap together through the back loop. Here's how it works:
I'm going to use this method from now on. By the way, Myra uses the same technique that I do when she works short-rows on the purl side.
For more about short-rows, and tons more knitting techniques, tips and tricks, and interesting insights into the world of knitting, get series 1300 of Knitting Daily TV with Vickie Howell on DVD. And I'm featured in the Space-to-Space segment of the Short-Stuff episode!

Scarlett Johansson let her budding baby belly peek through as she stepped out in New York City on Sunday
Bump, there it is!
After months of keeping it under wraps, Scarlett Johansson let her baby belly peek through as she stepped out in New York City on Sunday.
The mom-to-be — who is expecting her first child with Romain Dauriac in August — kept cool in a red patterned tunic, black leggings and a cropped khaki coat.
Splash News Online
Although the actress has stayed mum on pending parenthood, that's not to say she and her French journalist fiancé are not excited behind closed doors.
"Actors, in general, they're obsessed with emotions," Johansson told Vanity Fair. "Although [Romain is] French, so he's also probably overly into his emotions."

Former NFL player takes own life at 29
(CNN) — Paul Oliver, who played defensive back at the University of Georgia then in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers, was found dead Tuesday night from an apparently self-inflicted wound, police in suburban Atlanta said.
He was 29.
Police found Oliver's body at the bottom of a set of stairs in a home in Marietta, Cobb County police spokesman Sgt. Dana Pierce said. He said the county medical examiner ruled the death a suicide by handgun and gave police authorization to release the cause.
A family member called 911, Pierce said.
"Everyone in the Chargers family is sad today after hearing the news about Paul," a written statement from the NFL team said. "He was part of our family for five years. At just 29 years old, he still had a lifetime in front of him. Right now all of our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most difficult time."
Oliver played for the Chargers from 2007 to 2011, recording 144 tackles in 57 games.

SALEM - A new law allows drivers in Oregon to show electronic proof of car insurance as a convenience if police stop them.
"This will be handy for drivers who forget to put an updated paper card in their car or wallet," said Ron Fredrickson, manager of the Oregon Insurance Division Consumer Advocacy Unit.
Gov. John Kitzhaber signed House Bill 2107 into law on May 14, 2013, and it took effect immediately.
You have free articles remaining.
"People can still choose the traditional paper card to show they have the minimum coverage required by law or they can present proof on a cellphone or other mobile device," Fredrickson said.
Drivers must arrange with their insurance company to receive their proof-of-coverage information in an electronic format. And, using a mobile device to prove coverage does not allow police officers to search the device for any additional information.
Whether paper or electronic, motorists still must keep proof of current and valid insurance in the vehicle. So, someone who chooses the electronic format must keep the phone charged. Failure to carry proof of insurance is a Class B traffic violation with a typical $260 fine.
"One warning: If you are headed out of state, make sure you know the rules in other states," Fredrickson said.

When Bombay State was split to form Maharashtra and Gujarat in 1960, some Gujarati leaders laid claim to Mumbai. The arguments are very similar to what we hear today about Hyderabad during Telangana separation. That there are many Gujarati settlers in Mumbai, that they feel unsafe there in the hands of Maratha goons, that they had invested too much and made Mumbai with their bare hands, and so on - the usual stuff that always precedes every separation in India.
Some Gujaratis proposed that Mumbai should be made a Union Territory so that nobody gets the city. Fortunately for India, sanity prevailed. Sanity prevailed even when Andhras had laid claim to Chennai when they split from Madras State to form Andhra State. During that time also, there was a discussion as to whether Chennai should be made a Union Territory.
So what's this whole deal with converting capital cities into Union Territories? Why do people ask something like this during each separation?
Nobody wants to let go of a capital city because everyone is attached to it. Everyone has some connection of some kind, an investment, a relative or the other. And when their capital city goes to the other side, they don't feel good about it. That happens with every separation. It's hard on somebody. But the villa has to go to one party. It cannot be split right in the middle.
Right now, there is clamor from Andhra-Rayalaseema politicians and people to convert Hyderabad into Union Territory. Since they cannot get it, they don't want Telangana to get it either. There are some settlers in Hyderabad who are also clamoring for the same. They don't identify themselves with the goons of Telangana, 'so why should we join Telangana', they ask? Moreover, they claim that they have a cosmopolitan outlook on life which most Telangana people from villages don't seem to exhibit. Why can't they be on their own, they ask?
So, is Hyderabad a part of Telangana? Or is it a city that has grown to be quite different altogether leaving behind Telangana? Should each cosmopolitan city in India be asked to vote if they want to be independent of the region they reside in? Should we hold referendums in cities as well, treating them like states?
First, there are no historical precedents where a historically and culturally integrated capital city was made a Union Territory just because two suitors were not ready to settle the issue. It's like nobody gets the bread just because the two monkeys couldn't resolve their issues. Some people cite Chandigarh as an example. Chandigarh was a new city that was artificially created and both the suitors agreed to share it. It had no historical or cultural ties with any region. It was right in the middle of the two states bordering both the states. Also, it was agreed that one state would eventually get it into twenty years.
Second, if cities were allowed to break away from their regions just because settlers now outnumber the local people, then the cities of India will not allow settlers anymore in future and that will the defeat the very purpose of creating cities that are open to everyone. Being open to everyone should not be construed as an invitation to flood the city and then hold a referendum to break it away from the region.
No country on the planet has reached a stage where each city or district is asked to decide whether it wants to create a new state for itself just because immigrants now outnumber the locals. Germany, France, USA, Russia, or any country still look at their countries as collection of states or provinces with cities within them, but not a mere collection of cities. Only the capital city of a country is usually given a special status. There is always a strong promotion of cities for each region. More regions are created so that they can create more cities. Therefore, having cities in your region is an incentive. Removing cities from the regions deprives them of their prized possessions.
If we were to grant Hyderabad a status of Union Territory or a State, we are going to set an ugly precedent. Most cities in India are cosmopolitan, some more than others. People of a region sacrifice their local development to contribute to developing their cities with a vested interest, that their cities in turn will help the region. They give up their lands and give it to the cities so that cities can grow. They provide water and electricity from their region to the cities so that they get better resources. Regions gladly welcome settlers to settle in their cities, give incentives to invest in their cities, provide facilities that are even deprived to the people of their region, all with intent to grow their city so that it will in turn contribute to the growth of their region.
So, can settlers migrate to a city, fill it up with a people of their kind and then ask for referendums? If referendums were held now, do you think Mumbai will stay with Maharashtra or Bangalore with Karnataka? Most settlers are averse to getting involved in regional politics. Most of them do not even vote or participate in the local politics. The whole reason they have migrated is because they were looking for opportunity in that city and were ready to live in a different region. The homage provided by the cities and those regions should not be misused whereby settlers will eventually break that city away from the region.
Telangana was marginalized because it was a distinctly different region. Its people felt discriminated by the majority. Now, they want a separate state for themselves. And you deprive them of the only city they have? What kind of justice that would be? The guy who says he has been cheated is cheated further?
Is being cosmopolitan, more developed, a good enough reason for a city to cut itself off from the region? Is being apathetic to local socio-politics, being immune from local economics, being pampered and protected and preserved, a good enough reason to cut itself off from a region?
If every city in India, after receiving such patronage from its region wants to separate out, then there is no longer an incentive to build cities in India. Regions in India will balk at settlers coming in. If the invitation to invest in a city becomes a reason to separate, no state will invite settlers to settle in their cities. They will fear that they will lose their cities.
If we continue that path, Bangalore and Mumbai can easily break away from their states right away. So what are we setting as example to other states? Don't allow migrants to come in because one day they will ask for a referendum and break away from you?
So what about Andhras that lost Hyderabad?
Whenever there is a splitting of a state, cities get distributed. Only one region can get the capital city. That's a natural outcome. Andhra gets others cities, like Vijayawada, Vishakapatnam, Nellore, etc, only because they lie inside Andhra region, whereas Telangana gets Hyderabad only because it lies inside Telangana region. Moreover, Hyderabad belongs to Telangana historically, culturally and geographically. It does not share a border with Andhra region. Therefore, the capital city cannot be shared like in case of Chandigarh. Any neutral observer would conclude that the city will go with Telangana.
So what happens to Andhra region which has lost it capital city to another region? They should do the same thing what Gujarat did after they lost their capital city to Maharashtra. They should do the same thing what each of Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, and Chattisgarh did, when they lost their capital city to another region. They should build a capital city of their own.
A region that has lost the capital city should be compensated for. They should get a package to build their own capital. But that does not mean we should deprive regions of their cities just because one party did not like the separation.
The whole exercise of a city asking for a separate status because it has cosmopolitan characters reeks of elitism, where gated communities and islands of prosperity are created amidst swathes of poverty using the very resources taken from the regions around them. Any move to grant Hyderabad city a status of State or Union Territory is a wrong move. It will set a wrong example to other states NOT to allow settlers into their cities. Maharashtra will now have to get worried that they may lost their city if Vidarbha wants a separate state and lay claim to the city. Bangalore has to worry now whether they should allow migrants to settle in their region. The whole idea of creating cities as a prized possession of their regions gets nullified. This is a retrograde move for India. I sincerely hope that sanity and reason prevails like before.
