The 'Red Centre' of Australia is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated places in this country. People frequently hop on planes to Cairns, Melbourne or Perth but rarely do I see Australians travelling to Uluru. Maybe it's because I hang around hardcore city dwellers.
Uluru (or Ayers Rock) is situated in the Northern Territory away from the chaotic screams of the major cities. I previously never got the hype of the big red rock until I laid my own eyes on it - indeed it was awe-inspiring ... majestic. Probably the least commercial place I have ever been to, everything there oozes a quiet spirituality. At home, I would have never hesitated to suffocate the nearest creepy crawly with my deodorant. But here, I do not dare to kill a fly (although they are a pain in the backside when they swarm around your eyeballs).
On top of that, the stars seemed to have aligned on this trip - Valentines Day, Chinese Valentines day, full moon on the lunar calendar and sensational weather. Coincidence or fate? Either way, we were very blessed.
The Indigenous Australians believe in sustainable living, in other words, surviving off the land for food, water and shelter. According to their traditional stories (the Mala story in particular), every crevice, cave and waterhole which make up Uluru was created for a reason. Every game they kill, plant they pick and seeds they sow serve a particular purpose. Because of this cultural relevance, my fellow travelers and I had to be extra careful about where we tread, what we collect and even the whereabouts to take our shameless selfies.

The Beatles Had the Top Five Singles in the Land 48 Years Ago
On April 4, 1964, the Billboard singles charts were overtaken by a certain combo from Liverpool calling themselves the Beatles. On that date, 48 years ago today, the Fab Four held down the top five spots on the Billboard Pop chart.
The records were No. 1, 'Can't Buy Me Love,' No. 2, 'Twist and Shout,' No. 3, 'She Loves You,' No. 4, 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' and No. 5, 'Please Please Me.' They are the only act ever to occupy the top five positions at the same time.
A Billboard timeline story from that very day begins as such, "Just about everyone is tired of the Beatles. Disc jockeys are tired of playing the hit group; the writers are tired of writing about them. Everyone's tired of the Beatles except the listening and buying public." We wonder how they felt two or three or six years later!
With 'Can't Buy Me Love' giving the band their third No.1 in a row, they achieved another record that still stands to this day. In its 52 year history, no other act has had three consecutive No. 1′s on the Billboard chart.
And this, we may remind you, was only the beginning!

Smart Grid standard proposed, open for comment
ASHRAE and the National Electrical Manufacturers Assn. (NEMA) are jointly developing Standard 201P, Facility Smart Grid Information Model, which would provide a common basis for electrical energy consumers to describe, manage, and communicate about electrical energy consumptions and forecasts.
The proposed standard is open for an advisory public review until Sept. 3, 2012. To read the draft standard or to submit comments, click here.
Proposed Standard 201P would define an object-oriented information model to enable appliances and control systems in homes, buildings, and industrial facilities to manage electrical loads and generation sources in response to communication with the smart electrical grid and to communicate information about those electrical loads to utility and other electrical service providers.
The standard is part of ASHRAE's supporting efforts for the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel, a public-private partnership initiated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to speed development of interoperability and cyber security standards for a nationwide smart electric power grid.
The proposed ASHRAE/NEMA standard will coordinate with work by the North American Energy Standards Board to develop a basic energy usage data model standard and create a facilities data model that provides additional energy usage data elements for commercial and industrial buildings. This includes lighting, heating, HVAC/R, and other electrical loads.

Post subject: Best Fried Chicken in the World (except KFC)
I have been on a quest for years to perfect my fried chicken, and I think I've finally done it. Be warned - there are no "shortcuts" that will make good fried chicken. It's time-consuming and there's no way around it. But if you follow my instructions, you'll be singing Donna Summer, "Ooooh, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's sooooooooo good."
1. You must brine the chicken pieces ahead of time.
2. There is no substitute for buttermilk; don't even think about it.
3. No, you cannot use any other kind of pan but a cast-iron skillet. No.
4. Temperature - you'll have to do a few test pieces to determine the right setting on your stove for the pan you're using. On my stove, it's just under medium with a 12-inch iron skillet. You're aiming for a temperature that's lower than what you'd normally use for grease-free deep fat frying, but not so low the chicken gets soggy. But, it has to be low enough that the outside doesn't burn while the inside stays raw.
- about 6 thighs and drumsticks, brined
- 2 and 1/2 cups flour
- scant tablespoon salt
- two teaspoons garlic powder
- slightly less onion powder
- a couple vigorous shakes of HOT paprika, or cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed thyme
- Lots of fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon MSG. Yep, that's right, MSG, sold as Accent. No, it's not toxic, and no, you're not allergic to it (big food myth). Leave it out if you're paranoid.
- Enough Crisco to have about a half-inch of hot oil in the skillet
Mix your dry ingredients and put them in a wide, shallow bowl. Pour buttermilk into another bowl, replenishing as needed. Take chicken and dunk it in the buttermilk, shaking off excess. Mash (yes, mash) chicken into flour mixture all over, coating everything. You can be really decadent and give it another dunk in the buttermilk and another flour mashing (mmm, mmm). Set chicken aside on plate.
IMPORTANT - Let the chicken rest for at least 20 minutes after coating. This lets the coating set up and stick to the chicken so it doesn't peel off during cooking.
Fry chicken two - three pieces at a time. Cover and fry for about 20 minutes, then turn, recovering the skillet and cook for another 15 minutes or so. Remove the cover and cook for another 5 minutes, turning the chicken again to recrisp the outside and evaporate the water that's gotten into the crust from the covered skillet. This method is the best, and is well-described in the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.
Drain the chicken on paper towels, and keep warm on an uncovered plate in the oven until all the pieces are done.
Best served with other heart-attack-inducing dishes, such as creamy mashed potatoes with cream gravy. I like to accompany it in the traditional Southern way, with greens stewed with ham hocks, and lard biscuits. This is a not a meal for health sissies.
Cream gravy:
Reserve about two tablespoons of the Crisco, scooping up the little browned bits that fell off the chicken. Add three tablespoons of flour and make a roux. In a separate pan, boil a chicken bullion cube in a minimal amount of water, just until dissolved. Set bullion aside.
Slowly add about 1 and 1/2 cups whole milk to the roux, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add bullion, and let thicken, stirring constantly. If you need a little more thickener, whisk flour into cold milk and add. Be sure to add a generous amount of fresh black pepper.
Anyone who tries this recipe, please let me know how it turns out!

Thanks, I think I'll try this since I have about eight chicken legs in my freezer and I need to do something with them.
But, would you recommend the 'second dunk & mashing' for the first timer?

Hi Rob,
I'd probably avoid the 2nd "dunk and mash" on your first try. Just be sure to get a really good coating on every piece of the chicken. Good luck, and tell us how you like it!

Well, I had mixed results. Clearly this low-slow frying technique is something that will take some experience.
I did six legs and opted to do the double mash on one leg in each of two batches. One resulted in a catostrophic delamination of the breading.
But if I take nothing else away from the experience, it will be the seasoning of the flour. Before breading, I dipped my finger into the mixture and tasted it - "Oh, yeah. - This is good." This is going to find its way onto all manner of pork tenderloins and the like.
But I had a serious problem managing the heat, and the first batch was overbrowned and the second was underbrowned - and both were under cooked inside. But, at points, it was showing real potential.
It's probably one of those things that you just need to get experience in doing.
For the record, I decided that 325 deg would be my target oil temp. Perhaps too high. The second batch was probably lower - and might have been right if I gave it more time.
Despite the instructions, I was hoping to get all six legs in on one batch. But after putting two in, it was clear that the instructions were correct and I could only fit one more in comfortably.
I think the real trick here is trying to manage frying and steaming at the same time.

Post subject: Best fried chicken
This is the only way to make fried chicken. I have been making it forever this way. And my milk gravy is the same exact way without the flavoring. Straight scrapings from the pan with the roux and milk with seasonings. It is so heart healthy I love it. I even spluge and do my pork chops sometimes like this. Make the gravy too. Or make nuggets of pork or chicken with the gravey for the kids. Yum! Thanks for taking the time to write it all out. YOU NEED the buttermilk.

I do something like this too, mine is a version of Nigella Lawson's (soak chicken over night in buttermilk, then cook next day in it) with Jeffery Steingarten's seasoning mix. It is so good. My chicken is gently poached in buttermilk then left to cool. I take the skin off and then do then do the flour thing before frying in a cast iron casserole dish.
I love the texture of brining but it is way too salty for me. Anyone got any suggestions?

Post subject:
my reading of the literature is: the actual Food Engineers proved a couple of decades ago, that who the chicken chose for ancestry, and what the chicken ate, is 90% of what it's gonna taste like. Another few percentage points is how much stress the bird experienced in the hour prior to slaughter.. Google on Lactic Acid.
But cooking is truly like religion - nonsense is more important than facts.
Maybe you're one of those deep-cover agents for the buttermilk-making machine companies?!?
hey, I love the spam-check thing. Who supplies it?

A complex of the induction magnetic field two-way nanotransducers of the different physical values for both the external and implantable interfaces in a wide range of arrays are summarized. Implementation of the nanowires allows reliable transducing of the biosignals' partials and bringing of carbon nanotubes into circuits leading to examination of the superconducting transition.
Novel sensors are based on the induction magnetic field principle, which causes their interaction with an ambient EM field. Mathematical description of both the signal and mediums defines space embracing of the relevant interfacing devices. As a result, a wide range of the nano-bio-transducers allow both delivering the variety of ionized biosignals and interface the bioEM signals with further stages of electronic systems. The space coverage and transducing values properties of the state-of-the-art magnetic interfaces are summarized, and directions for their future development are deduced.

I sat down last week to make a quick trade tree for the Marlins/Tigers trade which sent Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez to Detroit for Jacob Turner and other prospects. Little did I know what I was in for. This tree has branches and roots going all the way back to the inception of the franchise. There's only one question that boggles my mind: How does a tree that includes 76 players and 26 trades NOT have Jeff Conine involved?

This item took two weeks to arrive (to the UK from the US) and I returned it immediately, as the design was deceptively messy, and looked as though it had unintentional stains to top and bottom. I had to pay for the return postage, but as yet (22 days later), I have yet to receive a refund. Altogether unsatisfactory.

Munenori Kawasaki Photobomb
It's always interesting to see MLB players outside of their uniforms. After the Blue Jays secured their 11th straight win on Sunday, outfielder Jose Bautista posted a photo of him and his teammates wearing snazzy suits. Esmil Rogers, Emilio Bonifacio, Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion all smiled handsomely in their stylish treads before their flight to Tampa Bay.
Little did they know, however, that Munenori Kawasaki was photobombing their photo in the background! Here's hoping their next few games is as good as the team looks in suits as the Blue Jays go for their 12th consecutive win.
For even more entertainment, check out Kawasaki's victory dance on the team flight.

Editor's Note: In this second installment of "The Breech & The Turning," Cari Donaldson continues her spiritual quest and finds herself grounded, unexpectedly, in the Mississippi mud. If you'd like to begin at the beginning, read the first installment here.
I left college in May of 1998. By the next month, I had a teaching position in the same school district I went to as a child. The man I'd loved since I was 14 proposed to me in October of that same year, and we moved in together in February of 1999, with the wedding date set for August of that same year.
To say that it was a busy time in my life would be, in retrospect, an understatement.
Moving from the extended adolescence that college allows to something resembling responsible adulthood meant that I could, for a while anyway, shelve the whole search for a resting place in God. I did so with relief. I still maintained a set of holdovers from my pagan years—a belief in reincarnation, and a vague pantheism being most notable. Unable to figure out how God wanted us to relate to one another, I gave up trying.
Then time for serious wedding plans came. My first choice was an extremely small wedding of no more than 50 or so people, held entirely in my parents' backyard—it was a beautiful setting, and full of comforting memories; I couldn't imagine having it anywhere else. My parents, sensibly concerned about a number of logistical and potential problems a home wedding brings with it, encouraged Ken and me to come up with another option.
We couldn't think of one. Neither of us wanted to elope, and the thought of the actual ceremony taking place in a dreary, municipal setting was depressing. Lack of options meant that when the Presbyterian church of our childhood was suggested, we couldn't think of anything compelling to counter it with. What it lacked in religious significance for me it made up in sentimental ones. After all, Ken and I had both gone there growing up. And while we went to the same school, we were in different grades, so it was the church's youth group that was the stage for our fledgling romance. Marrying in that church seemed a sweet nod to the physical location that brought us together.
The pastor who had worked there when we attended had since gone to another church, but Ken and I thought we'd see if he'd be willing to come back to officiate the wedding. We met with him in his office at his current church, and he agreed to do so. He handed us a packet of common wedding vows, and said that we could customize the ceremony however we felt comfortable.
I took him at his word, and spent the next several nights sitting at the coffee table with scissors and glue, cutting one phrase from one version of the wedding ceremony, and another phrase from a different one. In every version, however, I made sure to remove the name of Jesus from the proceedings. I was fine marrying in a church. I was fine having our childhood pastor officiate. I was fine mentioning God in the ceremony, but I would not allow Christ to be mentioned. It was too religious, too Christian. A non-specific "God" could be invoked, and that was as far as I was willing to go.
Both the pastor and Ken agreed to my editing job, and so we were married in a Presbyterian church in a ceremony that banned any reference to Jesus.
Despite the changes in my life, I found my thoughts returning with increasing frequency toward God. Having found nothing particularly useful in New Age teachings, absolute desperation turned my attention to organized religion. After all, I reasoned, if a religious institution was going to have staying power and a sizable audience, two things it needed to fall under the "organized" category in my mind, it probably had something logical and useful to say.

The game is one of two tune ups for the Buccaneers before the home opener on Aug. 29 against Appalachian State at 5 p.m. ETSU will head to Asheville, N.C., this Saturday for an exhibition against UNC Asheville.
Last season, King College finished with a record of 9-10-1, and was 4-3 in Appalachian Athletic Conference play. King ended the year ranked in the top five regionally after winning its league tournament championship.
The Bucs finished up their first week of practice with the first ever Blue/Gold game. The Blue team won 2-1 on goals by Aliyu Sugri (LaVergne, Tenn.) and Sean Hoek (Newburgh, Ind.). Sugri scored on a cross by Andrew Brown (Montego Bay, Jamaica), and Hoek later scored on a pass from Sugri to give the Blue team a 2-0 lead. The Gold scored late in the second half as Kyle Franklin (Maryville, Tenn.) beat the keeper with a brilliant shot, but it was too little too late as the Blue team would hold on for the win.

|You should have at least posted the trailer for the movie so people could see some of this awesome movie. I love this movie and have subjected numerous friends (and a few enemies) to this movie. I also just picked up the book (written by the director, John Boorman) for .50 cents at a used book store. It even has pictures of the movie in the middle of the paperback. I suggest that anyone who is interested in this movie first go to youtube and watch the trailer. Love the fact that you reviewed this. Thanks.

|I actually sort of "get" Zardoz. Call it sci-fi fantasy overload or something but with all the weirdness I've read this sorta makes some sense. Also, in the commmentary the director mentions that a lot got cut and that their budget fell through during filming. Imaging what Zardoz COULD have been. Also, why wasn't the explanation of Zardoz's name in the list?

The undergraduate business program offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree and a minor in business administration. Both options build on the strength of the UNC liberal arts curriculum and provide a foundation in general management that prepares you for a multitude of careers. Do you know which option is right for you?
Many business majors set out with a clear business career goal in mind, while others may need more time to determine their career goals. Both understand the value of building a core set of skills that the major in business provides.
The major curriculum includes a set of nine core courses, a minimum of six business electives, and five electives outside of business.
You will likely see the profile of a business minor as someone with a strong passion that lies outside of business, such as music, education or health care, to name a few. Many minors aspire to someday take their passion and turn it into a business. The business minor provides a perfect foundation for these long-term plans.
The minor curriculum provides a foundation in some key core courses and gives you the opportunity to take a few business electives, while still allowing you time to complete your major in Arts & Sciences or another professional school.

For quite awhile now, I have given Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd the benefit of the doubt as a "nice guy", even despite his clearly vacuous use of language when it comes to science AND the fact that one should realize a lawyers allegiance is not to the truth, but to their cause. But now that I have read Alfie's latest tome entitled "Exopolitics: A New Way to Understand Extraterrestrials" I have decided it is time to turn a critial eye to this man and his thinly veiled, and decidedly empty propaganda and mischaracterization of science! I hope David Griffin is reading, and I hope he enjoys reading my rebuttal as much as I have enjoyed preparing it. Fasten your seatbelts folks, this is going to be one wild ride! His "report" begins:
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:The scientific canon of 20th century science held that all intelligent life ends at Earth's geostationary orbit.
How appropriate that Alfie starts out his article with a statement that is patently false and totally and blatantly mischaracterizes what science and the scientific method is all about! One must remember that a lawyer's opening arguments do not have to directly be supported by the facts. Clearly any idiot knows that science is NOT about "stating what is NOT true". Rather, science is about stating theories of what is LIKELY true based on a preponderance of evidence and analysis. I challenge Alfie to show me precisely where the "priests of science" stated the "commandment" that all people must believe that intelligent life ends at Earth's geostationary orbit! He will fail, for no scientist speaks this way. Do we have evidence for intelligent life elsewhere? Not that we know of, but this does not mean it does not exist. We have gotten off to quite a great start, haven't we? It gets better...
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:The penalty for any professional not toeing this scientific line was probable loss of professional status and potential harassment by government authorities.
Again the lawyer bends the truth and appeals to your emotional mind to "join his revolution". He is wrong. Such penalties are levied for making outrageous claims that such life actually exists without providing evidence AND analysis that can be examined and critique by a group of his peers. Quite the opposite from the pablum he wishes to feed you with this statement!
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:However, one bright spot marks the beginning of change in official terrestrial attitudes toward other species of intelligent life. In 1978, the UN General Assembly approved a revolutionary decision, inviting "interested member states to take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life."
In 2007, countries are now making public formerly secret information about their records of extraterrestrial craft visiting Earth. The big question is: Why now?
Yawn. Maybe to give you something to propagandize about?
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:According to a 2002 Roper poll, most Americans appear comfortable with and even excited about the thought of the discovery of extraterrestrial life:
67% believe in the existence of intelligent life in the universe.
48% believe that intelligent off-planet cultures are now visiting Earth.
72% believe the U.S. government is not telling all it knows about extraterrestrial craft visiting Earth.
14% say they have had a close encounter.
And most Americans could be claimed to be excited about the antics of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. That does not mean such things have an eminently large impact on our future. For all his disparaging remarks about science at the beginning of his article, does he think that "good science" is performed by polling people to see what they believe??? Honestly, the logic here is vacuous.
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:For details on the poll, which was prepared for the Sci Fi Channel, visit www.scifi.com/ufo/roper .
SciFi Channel. Need I say more?
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:On March 22, the French Space Agency announced it was making public its secret files on possible extraterrestrial sightings. The New Scientist reported that among the 1,600 cases registered since 1954, nearly 25 percent are classified as "type D," meaning that despite good or very good data and credible witnesses, experts have been confronted with something they can't explain.
And the French, who surrendured to the Germans (twice!) are held-up as a shining example to be emulated??? This is a comedic piece, right?
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:On May 2, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense announced it was releasing up to 7,200 secret extraterrestrial sightings files going back to 1967, collected by DI55, a secret unit within the ministry. Other countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Chile also have released classified extraterrestrial reports.
Well, I have to admit that releasing data is good. But I have yet to see any reports of earth-shattering finds in any of these... anyone else hear of anything?
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:Since 2000, former government officials also have given public evidence to the presence of extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth. In 2001, more than 100 high-level governmental, political and military-intelligence witnesses gave testimonies to the presence of extraterrestrial civilizations during a Disclosure Project press conference in Washington, DC.
Which went over with a collective yawn. Certainly Dr. Steven Greer is not a publicity-seeking wonk, is he???? Please tell me it ain't so!
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:In 2005, Hon. Paul Hellyer, former Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, declared that "UFOs are as real as the planes over your head." Hellyer also states he would like "to see what (extraterrestrial) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet."
A career politician or political appointee just doesn't seem (to me) to carry the weight of someone who rigorously applies the scientific method. But oh yes, Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd doesn't like science and the scientific method! That's right!
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:After the tenth anniversary of the Phoenix Lights, former Arizona governor Fyfe Symington admitted on national television that he had witnessed a two-mile wide extraterrestrial spacecraft, sighted by over 10,000 witnesses as it glided silently over Phoenix in 1997.
And the implication (once again) is that because he is a public/political figure that he should be believed more than any other "eye witness"? When in reality, we know that politicians are more predisposed to lying than the average person.
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:Exopolitics: A New Vision of the Universe
Intelligent life exists beyond Earth's orbit. We are part of a populated cosmos and our neighbors are reaching out to us at this time.
I'm a lawyer... I know these things are true! Don't bother asking for evidence!
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:Exopolitics is the new political science of outer space, and is [b]the science]/b] of relations between our human civilization and advanced civilizations in the universe.
NOW he invokes science! For HIS cause! But what is interesting is that he does not (and can not) cite how HIS form of science will be different than the accepted scientific method, which he has already called into question above! This is positively childlike!
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:The Exopolitics model holds that we live in a highly populated universe, filled with intelligent, evolving civilizations operating under universal law, with governance systems and mediated by universe politics. We on Earth are just becoming aware that we live in a populated universe.
Again, this is just our "we wish it is this way" model. Don't ask for any substantive evidence... cuz we can't give it. But we will throw plenty of empty catch phrases at you that we have no idea what they mean from a technical standpoint! (Remember the "positive feedback" faux pas?)
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:According to Thomas Kuhn, author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, scientific revolutions happen through paradigm shifts, in sea-changes about the way humanity chooses to see its reality. No amount of scientific data will change any individual's mind about life beyond Earth, and how it's filled with diverse advanced civilizations seeking to engage us now. Each person has to want to change his or her own mind, on the basis of available data and context.
I see...so the "new scientific revolution" is really just all about what YOU, the individual decide? No need to compare notes to others who might have different data? Just find your own personal "messiah" and follow him if what he says sounds good? Sounds a bit like what Charles Manson was selling to members of his "family".
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd wrote:The Exopolitics scientific revolution is interactive and participatory. The more we interact and consciously participate with advanced, ethical extraterrestrial societies that are reaching out to us at this time, the faster our reality paradigm may shift.
Nice buzzwords. And "we" have decided they are "ethical", have "we"? Isn't that exactly what the Aztecs did with Cortez???? Didn't seem to work out too well for them, now did it? But thanks for telling us what it's all about Alfie. My respect for you has now reached a new low!

Sen. Bob Dole has been admitted to Walter Reed Army medical center for what one of his aide's called a "routine procedure."
"Senator Dole self checked into the hospital for a routine procedure and will be discharged tomorrow," an aide told NBC News. "He's doing very well."
Earlier Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor that Dole was hospitalized "because he is infirm."
The comment came during a debate on the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, an international treaty aimed at addressing disability rights. Sen. John McCain, according to NBC News, explained that Bob Dole, a proponent of the treaty, had sent an email yesterday requesting support for the CRPD and indicating that he was hospitalized and therefore forced to email rather than call.
"I freely admit that I love Bob Dole, I listen to him, I appreciate his leadership. I think the Majority Leader would agree that we appreciate his bipartisanship during a great deal of his time," McCain told his colleagues, according to NBC News. "I hope my colleagues would, before deciding to vote, at least listen to the letter that was addressed to all of us by Senator Bob Dole."
After McCain read the note, which touted the treaty, Reid added that he had recently heard from Dole.
"He called me a few days ago," McCain said, according to NBC News. "He's at Walter Reid for a checkup; he's there because he's infirm ... and he's sick. We should do this for many many reasons, not the least of which is to recognize what a great leader Bob Dole is and has been for our country."
A colleague of Dole told NBC News, however, that the former presidential nominee was hospitalized for a "relatively minor procedure" and that he watched the Senate floor debate from his room. The colleague added that if Dole feels up to it, he is expected to speak Thursday at a Senate tribute to the late Sen. Warren Rudman.
Dole, 89, ran for president against Bill Clinton in 1996 and was the Republican vice presidential nominee in 1976.
