This Mom Wants Everyone in the Pool
As it turns out, Kayla dived and swam the distance like a champ. But pool safety is a big concern for any mom. Kids love the water. You love their invincibleness about swimming. But you also need them to have a healthy fear of the water. It's a lesson few people know as well as Debra Jones, mother of Cullen Jones, the first African-American male to hold a world record in swimming. Cullen's speed and comfort in the pool began very differently. When Cullen was 5 years old, he was at an amusement park and went on a water slide-type ride in an inner tube. At the end, the inner tube flipped and it stunned the young boy, who lost consciousness and nearly drowned.
Recently, I spoke with Cullen's mom and learned that day was still as vivid as ever for her. "When they revived him, Cullen looked at me and said, 'Can I do it again?'. That's when I knew he loved the water," Debra says. That fall, a nearby YMCA opened a Learn to Swim program and she enrolled Cullen.
Unfortunately, African-American children drown at a rate almost three times higher than Caucasian children in similar age groups. The first black male to hold a world record in swimming, Cullen Jones is now using his fame (and his mom) to raise awareness about the issue and ensure more kids learn to swim, especially in urban areas. As primary spokesman for the USA Swimming Foundation's Make a Splash initiative, Jones, one of the fastest freestyle sprinters in the world, is visiting six U.S. cities to promote the availability of low- to no-cost swimming lessons to give all kids access to life-saving swimming skills.
It's a cause Debra is very passionate about. "So many of our children are vulnerable. Our exposure is different. We don't necessarily have our own pools. Or we live near lakes. We love being in the water, but lack the understanding of riptides or what to do when you find out it's deeper than you thought it was," Jones says. According to research done by USA Swimming in 2008, six out of ten African-American children don't know how to swim, nearly twice as many as their white counterparts, while 56 percent of Hispanic and Latino children are unable to swim.
It's even worse when children who want to learn how to swim are denied access to swimming pools, as recently occurred at the Valley Club in suburban Philadelphia. Debra Jones has words for that too. "My heart was ripped out when I saw this little boy who only wanted to swim and was told that he wasn't welcome. I've read the comments back and forth, and that underlying cloud that color may have been a factor disheartens me. Everything that Cullen is trying to do to promote swimming and get children into the pool where pools are available -- and then there are doors that are closed," she says. "I know it is 2009, but unfortunately some things don't change. A part of me is not surprised. I grew up in the '60s. We have to continue to pray and do what we can to get these kids in the pool," she adds. Amen to that.

I have taught people of all races and ages to swim over the past 20 years. It's as fun to teach old folks who have finally gained the courage to swim as it is to teach youngsters full of newfound love for the sport. There is absolutely no difference between the learning ability of white and non-white kids with an interest in learning. They smile the same, get the same sting in their noses when the water doesn't cooperate, show that same joyful look when they finally make their first jump off the side of the pool, the diving board, or their first whole lap, unassisted, across the pool.
Still, it continues to be difficult to convince kids of color to join the teams. I live in an area that is predominantly Hispanic, but the swim teams for the most part are predominantly white. It's tough to convince the kids that just because there aren't loads of non-white kids swimming YET doesn't mean THEY shouldn't go out for it.
I'm SO glad Cullen stuck with it, continues to excel and is using his success to help spread the word that, yes, EVERYone can swim, regardless of color. Thanks to Cullen, and to his mom, Debra, for helping educate everyone…even in 2009 when this shouldn't even be a question anymore!

A 5K race unlike many others took place for the first time today.
The Farmland 5K was held in Traverse City and while many 5K races are held on sidewalks or streets, this one was around the perimeter of a 150 acre centennial farm.
The race director, Lisa Taylor, wanted adults to be able to participate in the sport, that is usually just for high school students.
Over 300 runners came out for today's race.
In the future, the race director hopes to expand the race into different categories, including ones that include runner's four-legged friends.

I know this is the wrong place for this, but I can no longer find anywhere to submit a report for a problem which is the first problem.
The perceived fault that I want to report is the drop down menu with links to the EPZ Shop , WEX etc. has disappeared.
can anyone enlighten me on either or both subjects please.
If you go to the bottom of the page you'll see a tool bar:
Click the one titled 'Contact Support' and it'll take you to the report's page.
You can find Photographic Retailers in the Directories now which can be accessed via the Directories drop down menu.
Thanks Nik, that's ok for reporting a fault but do I understand from this that there is no longer a direct link to WEX and I can't find any reference to the EPZ shop, has it ceased to exist?
Ok, so I now looked at 'Site map' and then 'Store' and found links to both, but what happened to the 'Store' drop down menu?
A new simplified menu was put in place to make it less complicated and as a result, some items which were found to not be used as much as others were removed from the menu. However, all the features are still available on site (as you have found out). You could bookmark the shop pages if these are areas of the site you frequently visit.
OK thanks Nik. It was just convenient to use the drop down to go to WEX in a new tab in Firefox when a bit of kit was mentioned and I wanted to have a look at it, but if I put it on the Firefox toolbar I should be able to do the same.Last Modified By MalcolmS at 24 Jul 2012 - 10:48 AM

British 45's of the 60's are one of the 'ultimate' listening experiences to my ears; the sounds of a cultural renaissance whose influence is still felt in music fifty years on.
We begin this installment by featuring a British cover of the hippest record that The Four Seasons ever cut, the piano driven mod classic that is 'Beggin'".
Timebox were an art school-formed group that were deeply influenced by US soul and soul-jazz sounds, and those influences are heard to their greatest capacity on this track. The group never saw much success (this record made the lowest regions of the UK top 40 and was their only hit). The key members regrouped in 1969 in the progressive rock bag as Patto (named after lead vocalist Michael Patrick 'Patto' McCarthy), and guitarist Ollie Halsall went on to play guitar on (the excellent) soundtrack from The Rutles TV special All You Need Is Cash.
Both the Timebox and Four Seasons versions of Beggin' are driven rhythmically in a way that's so strong that it almost makes the song itself inconsequential. However, in the case of the song itself, it too is strong, making for the type of record that's gonna make people stand up and take notice; and they have for 46 years now.
Of course The Hollies scored several hits during The British Invasion and beyond, but this track, tucked away as the b-side to their massive hit 'Bus Stop', is one of their greatest (and toughest) beat numbers. The Hollies were top notch musicians, and friends-since-childhood Allan Clarke and Graham Nash had one of the greatest harmony vocal blends to the east of The Everly Brothers, who, also recorded a fantastic version of this track on their incredible 1966 LP Two Yanks In England. The backing band on the Everly's LP was none other than....drumroll please...THE HOLLIES! The brilliant songwriter "L. Ransford" who's listed on the label? It's none other than Hollies Allan Clarke, Graham Nash and Tony Hicks wiriting under a pseudonym. Perhaps in their modesty they didn't want to rub in the fact that they could out-sing, out-play, and even out-write just about anyone else on the scene.
Don't Run And Hide
Backwards track? Check. Fuzz guitar? Check. Swirling orchestration? Check. Must be England, 1967! The Marmalade take obvious cues from The Beatles first release of 1967 (Penny Lane b/w Strawberry Fields Forever) here, and the end results are a charming, lovely slice of English pop-psych.
This long-running Scottish group (their original name was the Gaylords) formed in Glasgow in 1961, changed their name to The Marmalade in 1966 and saw a string of massive hits in the UK from 1968 til 1972. The group is still active today with only one original member(!)

France has never been fertile ground for inbred Rock and Pop at a real popular, mass cultural level; any French rocker or Pop fan will tell you that... Literature, Classical and Academic Arts such as paintings, sculpture, even comic book drawings and cartoon illustrations, YES! As far as music goes, some Classical again, maybe too in the great Music Hall revue tradition as in Folie Bergères, Moulin Rouge etc. and even greater music in movie scores, 'cause we do have some of the best library music writers and arrangers in modern contemporary it's true, but... Real Pop and Rock music, er... NO! It's always been a backyard business, found in Home studios and private gardens.
Once you have that in mind, and you are ready to dig a little deeper out of the mainstream, on the sideways and in the margins, you WILL ocasionally find some goodies, gems even, sometimes even an underground genius here and there... it's like Diggin' for Gold! :-)
Well, while not exactly a Masterpiece for times to come, such is the case for "Pop-IN-court", a private "Secret Affair" of Modern Pop chic found in the back alley of La Rue Popincourt, a famous street in Paris :

For part two of this series, we'll begin with a phenomenal piece if moody British beat from 1965, and in fact the only 45 issued by this group in the US. The Poets (not to be confused with the US soul group of the same name, who scored a minor hit with 'She Blew A Good Thing'), were managed and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, himself most famous (and notorious) as the manager/producer of the Rolling Stones. With its' chiming 12 string guitar, huge reverb drone, and punky vocals, its practically a precursor to the Velvet Underground but with a Scottish accent. The Poets were from Glasgow, released a few more singles that sank without a trace and sadly broke up before recording a full album.
Now We're Thru
While 1967's "Grounded" was the b-side (to the downright awful "Created By Clive"), this is the side that has lived on in the hearts of collectors and fans of British beat. It also blows my mind that two members of this band (Chris Squire and Peter Banks) formed progressive rock band Yes only one year after this record was cut; a massive indication of changing tastes in music.
Regardless of its' lineage, this is an incredible record featuring some of the finest songwriting of the freakbeat era.
For less than two years during '67-'68, London's Soft Machine (as headed by bassist/ vocalist/ songwriter Kevin Ayers) were occupying the same type of (inner) space as the Syd Barrett-led Pink Floyd. In fact, the two groups played together often at the legendary UFO Club. Much like Floyd after Syd Barrett, The Soft Machine carried on but in a wholly different style (jazz fusion) after the departure of Kevin Ayers at the end of an extensive tour supporting the Jimi Hendrix Experience (what a lineup!). The group was also managed by the Hendrix team of Mike Jeffreys and Chas Chandler, who also acted as their producer. Fortunately, the group left behind an incredible debut single ("Love Makes Sweet Music" that I still do not own and has been on my want list for years) and their masterpiece debut LP. On the LP, the songs meld together as one long psychedelic suite, yet their US label ABC Probe was able to extract "Why Are We Sleeping" as a single, backed with Ayers "Joy Of A Toy" for the b-side of this 1968 release. Joy Of A Toy became the title of Ayers solo debut. "Why Are We Sleeping" is my favorite 3 and a half minutes from the Soft Machine LP, as Ayers distorted bass (and baritone vocals) fights playfully for space with Mike Ratledge's organ swells, all the while drummer Robert Wyatt swings like a mofo (there's no guitar on this track), capped off by those haunting female harmonies. Forty five years later and the song is STILL relevant, perhaps even more so- so much happens all around us but so many folks walk through life filled with apathy.
Why Are We Sleeping_
The V.I.P's were a group formed in remote Carlisle, UK and have a very interesting history. The group released a few failed singles, became known as Art for one glorious 45 ("Rome Take Away Three") and an LP, then morphed into Spooky Tooth. Keith Emerson (pre-Nice) was also in the group at (I think) the time this record was recorded in 1966. This track is a superb cover of a highly sought after early 45 by the great Joe Tex.

Once again, I'll preface this post by saying if you like what you hear from Little Barrie, I suggest you buy their entire catalog and (definitely) go to a live gig if you have a chance. Their most recent release (King Of The Waves) is one of the great LP's of recent years, hands down!
We left off around the mid-'00's, and in 2005, Little Barrie's excellent debut full length (We Are Little Barrie) was released, containing a few tracks that had previously been released on 7" and a whole lot more. "Free Salute" was the single drawn from the LP, and the b-side is a SMOKING hot BBC version of "Didn't Mean A Thing", which itself was previously issued on the 'Memories Well" 45. This live version finds the band in top form. Just dig the tone, fire and taste of Barrie's guitar playing; it's the type of thing that seperates true talent from reheated, unispired blues licks.
Didn't Mean A Thing (BBC Oct 04)
Love You
Precious Pressure
"Burned Out" was an early (2002) single that made its way onto the Little Barrie debut LP, and DAMN is that track funky! DJ Nu Mark remixed it, and it takes the track into new terrain in the way that only an exceptional remix can (and adds a downright funny drum break section as well). Genuine Records released a cool white label promo 7" of the remix.

This stoned sounding gem is the B side to "Love". The "Sleep" certainly sound like their name, as they sing about an abandoned insane asylum near Sunbury on Thames. The drifty sounding vocals are perfect for a song about 'a twilight world', where children 'play on swings and roundabouts, some of them will never get out'. Sounds positively creepy and you can easily conjure up the look, smell and feel of an abandoned asylum. Both this and the A side were written by group member Tony Rees.

"Love" by The Virgin Sleep is one of my favourite records from 1967. It takes me straight back to the year when music seemed to progress, change, and startle at an amazing rate. Released Sept 1, 1967, the Virgin Sleep hailed from the Richmond area of London. A four piece, they were originally Themselves, but changed to a more Kings Road sounding name, and recorded this vaguely Eastern sounding song, loosely based on a Buddhist chant. It deftly blends sitars with a string section and is musical nirvana to those of us who enjoy Psych mixed with a strong batch of pop. This song should have been a huge hit, but unfortunately, it didn't bother the charts. Fortunately, Deram gave them a 2 record deal, because The Virgin Sleep released one more single, which we will come to in due time. The B side of this record, "Halliford House" is a worthy contender itself and we will take a listen to it next. These are the kind of records that made Deram such a great label!

Bringing his Outdoor Channel crew and Joe Mantegna to the NRA National Firearms Museum to film a few episodes of "Gun Stories" (set to air in July) wasn't all Michael Bane had in mind when he came to NRA headquarters earlier this month. He also was looking to tap some of the finest firearms minds in the country.
"Jim, Phil and Mark really know their stuff," said Bane. "They are a welcome addition to the show and we'll be sure to find a way to find a place for them in next season's episodes."
Speaking on everything from break tops to GLOCK 23s, each provided a unique bit of insight on a handful of firearms. With Bane and Gun Stories Director Tim Cremin peppering the guys with (sometimes questionable) questions from off camera, Supica, Schreier and Keefe sat in the spotlight and delivered.
"I think Michael was just trying to make me laugh," said Supica. "But it made for a friendly, comfortable environment that hopefully comes across to the audience."

My childhood home stood on a cliff overlooking Lago Moreno in
Patagonia, where the snowcapped peaks of the Andes tower over everything. It was a simple but
beautiful log house built by an English family in the 1920s and bought for my father by "Papapa,"
my grandfather Arturo. In that house, fire was a constant part of growing up for my two brothers
and me, and the memories of that home continue to define me.
When I close my eyes and think back to those times,
I can hear the breakfast conversation of my parents
announcing the arrival of a truckload of firewood. The
truck would dump the wood in the parking lot. We would
all load up the wheelbarrows; my brothers and I would
help in sorting and stacking the logs in the woodshed.
When the work was done and the shed was packed
to the roof with air-cured logs, I felt proud to be part
of such a wealthy household...
(In 1995 the) International Academy of Gastronomy--the
most prestigious culinary organization in the world--
had invited me to prepare a meal for them. I was in
great company--such European superstars as Alain
Ducasse, Ferran Adrià, and Frédy Girardet had received
the same invitation, and I would be the first New World
chef. The request was for a menu with a South American
theme. The rest was left up to me.
I think a guardian angel--a very Argentine angel--
whispered in my ear at that point. She suggested an
entire menu featuring potatoes, the great gift of South
America to the world's larder. I sent German Martinegui,
who was at that time a chef in my Buenos Aires restaurant,
to Cuzco, Peru--the royal capital of the Incas,
where the greatest potatoes are grown. He had a simple
shopping list: a thousand pounds of potatoes. For those
of you who think of potatoes simply as the plain-looking
things one sees in the supermarket, you have not yet
seen the potato in all of its Andean glory. German came
back to Buenos Aires with golden potatoes, red ones,
purple, yellow, orange, marbled--and in all sizes, from
little balls to big lumpy ovals barely distinguishable from
a clod of dirt.
My crew and I filled our luggage with our precious
edible cargo and flew to Frankfurt, where the academy
dinner was being held at the Schloss Hotel, a fairy-tale
castle. Thankfully, the customs inspectors were not on the
lookout for a band of South American potato smugglers.
The manager of the hotel--a very formal old-school
fellow--greeted me and asked, "How would you like to
decorate the table?"
"With potatoes," I answered...
...I piled potatoes about ten inches high,
running down the center of the whole length of the table,
and then set about preparing the meal...
After the lunch, I entered to receive my "grades."
They were very high. They were intended as much for
the Andean potatoes as for the chef.
The president of the Italian branch of the academy
asked to speak. He was a vigorous man of about eighty,
trim and elegant. "Before I left Rome," he began, "I was
very unsure about this 'potato feast.' In fact, the thought
of coming to Germany to eat many potatoes soaked in oil
gave me nightmares of indigestion. But what I have eaten
today, I truly believe, was food made by the angels."
His words, and that event, had a profound effect on
me. I was forty years old and very successful doing an
Argentine version of contemporary fine dining. I had
been at it for twenty-seven years.
A feeling of resolve came over me. I was through
with the fancy sauces and the elaborately arranged
ingredients piled high on the plate like one of Marie
Antoinette's coiffures. I wanted to create a cuisine
based on my Andean heritage. For inspiration, I turned
to the methods of the frontier, of the gauchos and,
before them, of the Indians.
My cuisine became, for want of a better word, barbaric
in its attempt to achieve the pinnacle of flavors
through the use of fire, whether the massive heat of a
bonfire, or the slow steady warmth of dying embers...
To be sure, there are times when it is not practical
to cook over a wood fire--but as I have found over the
years, a charcoal fire, a gas grill, or even a cast-iron pan
on the stove of a home kitchen can serve to create the
texture and wonderful slightly burnt taste of open-fire
cookery. Throughout this book, you will find instructions
for cooking outdoors, but because I recognize
that not all of you will always have access to open fire,
you will also find instructions for how to achieve many
of the same effects indoors. As long as you apply the
same amount of heat to your food, then, regardless
of the method or medium used--wood, charcoal, gas
grill, cast iron--cooking will be successful. Of course, I
always prefer a hardwood fire.
In this book, I share my versions of the recipes of
a lifetime inspired by campfires and cattle drives, harvest
festivals and fishing camps, street fairs and family
Sundays. There are seven different fires that form the
backbone of my cuisine. North Americans may recognize
in them a kinship to barbecuing and charcoal
grilling and will, I hope, find new possibilities in them.
I've served these dishes to popes and presidents, prime
ministers and kings, and, with equal success, to neighborhood
kids in Buenos Aires and shepherds in the
mountains of Patagonia.
May they kindle the same fire in your belly that they
do in my soul.
Francis Mallmann (left) is the most famous and popular chef in South America. He has three restaurants: one in Mendoza, Argentina's wine country, another in the La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires, and the third in the picturesque village of Garzon, Uruguay. USA Today and The Times of London have named his restaurants among the top ten places to eat in the world.
Peter Kaminsky is the author of Pig Perfect: Encounters with Remarkable Swine. He has written cookbooks with chefs Michel Richard, Gray Kunz, Daniel Boulud, and Fabio Trabocchi. His work appears in Food & Wine, Conde Nast Traveler, and The New York Times. He lives in Brooklyn.
At the 1992 Seville World's Fair, the Argentine booth
was far and away the busiest among the international
assortment of food concessions, even though we
served only three things: rib-eye steaks, salad, and
dulce de leche pancakes. There was a line from the
minute we opened until we closed. We served 1,500
steaks a day!...
A steak that is seasoned and cooked properly has
a salty crust produced by searing. This crust, sublime
in its own right, keeps the beef juices from escaping
and drying out the meat as the steak cooks. Under that
crust, the meat should be basically the same rosy pink
throughout. This is your goal, and it can be achieved
only if you cook the meat at the proper rate, which is
relatively slow in comparison to the sear-and-serve
method that produces "black and blue" steaks, which
is to say both burnt and raw.
This principle holds true for any beef cooked over
direct heat. To get that uniform color, you need even
lower heat and longer cooking for thicker cuts.
And now, to the grill.
One 1-pound boneless rib-eye steak per person,
about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick
Coarse salt
Chimichurri (below)
About an hour before you plan to serve the meat,
start a wood fire off to the side of the grill. In
Argentina, we use a large iron basket for the fire, with a wide grate that allows
the larger coals to drop through so you can easily
move them under your cooking grill.
Remove the steaks from the fridge or cooler, giving
them enough time to come to room temperature.
Their temperature will affect the way that heat enters
the meat. If it is cold when you put the meat on the
grill, you risk toughness.
Shovel or rake a 2- to 3-inch bed of coals under
the grill grate. This bed should extend for about
3 inches beyond the perimeter of the grill, so that
every part of each steak will receive uniform heat.
The grill grate should be 3 to 4 inches from the coals.
Wait for the coals to cover over with a layer of whitish
ash. You can test the temperature by placing your
hand almost at the level that the meat will cook. The
fire should be medium-high, and it is ready when
you can hold your hand there for only 2 1/2 seconds
(to determine 2 1/2 seconds, in Spanish, we say,
"Uno matador, dos matador, tres . . ."; the English
equivalent is "one Mississippi, two Mississippi,
three . . .").
Keep a spray bottle filled with water handy to
douse any flare-ups.
Salt the steaks to taste. Using tongs, grease the
grill grate with a piece of fat or a clean cloth or paper towel moistened with olive oil or other cooking oil.
Place the meat on the grill. You should hear a nice sizzle. Then don't touch the steaks, and don't move them. After 5 minutes, gently lift one edge to check the sear marks on the meat. If they look just right at that point, rotate the meat 90 degrees. This will create a crosshatch pattern and keep the meat from burning where it is in contact with the grill. After 4 more minutes, turn the steaks over and cook for another 7 minutes, or until cooked to medium-rare. As before, check after 5 minutes to make sure the meat doesn't burn where it touches the grill, and rotate the steaks if necessary.
Transfer the steaks to a platter and let rest for 3 minutes.
Serve with Chimichurri.
Makes about 2 cups
1 cup water
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
1 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 cup fresh oregano leaves
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
To make the salmuera, bring the water to a boil in
a small saucepan. Add the salt and stir until it dissolves.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Mince the garlic very fine and put in a medium
bowl. Mince the parsley and oregano and add to the
garlic, along with the red pepper flakes. Whisk in the
red wine vinegar and then the olive oil. Whisk in the
salmuera. Transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and
keep in the refrigerator. Chimichurri is best prepared
at least 1 day in advance, so that the flavors have a
chance to blend. The chimichurri can be kept refrigerated
for up to 2 to 3 weeks.

I couldn't stop laughing at my answer to 13A when I overlooked the obvious. Not too hard this week but was hung up for ages on couple of 35A crosses – if I had only known his name the rest would have been so easy.
A nice little half hour challenge. Just right for a lazy Thursday night.
Couldn't get this XWP on unless I got on the GNY from WED. Then I went to the bottom right corner and pushed for the 13 P. I thot the def. of "Eggs uncooked" were RAW. Other than that, it was a Zephyr.
As usual, took me a while to get the theme. Had to finish the puzzle before the "aha" moment. Fun workout!
not being up on school with six HeismanTrophy winners, I put down "raw" originally too. Then from the 39A below, saw what it had to be! An easy one.
Not too bad
Had to use the DOWN clues to get 60A. Then fiound out is is an actual word!
I got 68D, but I still don't "get" it. can someone explain, please?
TRC — Think window shopping.
Can anyone explain 82A for me?
82A is the sound of the "i" in the word pigs. Not a long i, but a …
I was the one last week who complained about songs from 1950 and 1961. this time we have a song from 1967 and a role from 1935. Not sure that's progress.
@Allison, I missed it too because of the cross 1935 movie malarkey, it's just the sound of the 'i' in the word.
Besides that, all good
One word for this puzzle: eccentric.
JAB71 – thanks, I was forever hung up on Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Still don't really get the theme. Someone please explain. Maybe it's just too easy.
No repeat letters in the 13-letter long answers
Not one of the better offerings…82 A gave me GRUNTS and SNORTS before I noted that the clue was followed by the sneaky (?) meaning "I'm fooling you with this one." Maybe "Found in pigs ?" would have been better than "Sound in pigs?" OK, so I'm a nit picker.
82A stymied me for a while, too, but the lower left corner was where I really struggled.
I still don't get 82A. Any help?
Nevermind. I didn't see the earlier post. A little lame, I think.
@Gregory – you beat me in brevity. The best I could come up with for the puzzle was "Big deal."

Sarkissian Finally Explains His EU Association U-Turn by Playing Naive
Armenian President Serzh Sarkissian used the opportunity to make a speech during the plenary session of PACE to finally give some sort of an explanation about his decision to join the Russia-led Customs Union effectively blocking the way to the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement and the EU Association agreement that came with it.

Twin Inaugurations
April 9 turned into a strange day with both officially reelected President Serzh Sarkissian and his opposition challanger Raffi Hovannisian swearing in as presidents of Armenia.
The settings were rather different, as you can see from these two videos below:
The day turned a little scary when a couple of dozen opposition supporters taken to the police and the nose of a key oppositionist, Armen Martirosyan's, was smashed into a bleeding condition in an incident with the police. The rumors about the murder of a young man, which later turned out to be unrelated and news about Raffi Hovannisian losing consciousness amid clashes with the police exacerbated the situation.
In the end, however, the day ended rather peacefully.
Google+ Hangout With Armenian Presidential Challenger Raffi Hovannisian
On April 9, incumbent Serzh Sarkisian will be sworn in for another term as president of Armenia.
As that happens, Sarkisian's bested rival, Raffi Hovannisian, will be taking part in his own inauguration — the "inauguration of a new Armenia," as he says. It's unclear exactly what the event will be, but the timing is almost certainly no accident.
Hovannisian disputes the results of the February 18 election. He lost to Sarkisian by roughly 20 points, according to official results. He recently ended a two-week hunger strike that he had been holding to protest the election results and demand electoral reforms.
RFE/RL's Armenian Service (Radio Azatutyun) discussed all of these issues and more with Hovannisian in an exclusive Google+ Hangout on the evening of April 7.

Annual Holiday Blood Drive Honors Five-Year-Old Blood Recipient
OMAHA, Neb. – While most children are pondering what presents Santa will leave under their tree this year, Danielle Matrisciano is wondering where Santa will deliver her presents – at home or at the hospital.
This year, the Holiday Blood Drive honors Danielle Matrisciano. The spunky five-year-old was diagnosed this past summer with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and has spent the majority of the last five months at Children's Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha. Throughout her treatment, she has received numerous blood and platelet transfusions. Thanks to dedicated blood donors, the kindergartner from the Grand Island area is able to continue treatments and is in remission.
Like Danielle, recipients of blood products are not able to take a holiday from needing lifesaving blood. They are in constant need of a healthy supply. This December, the American Red Cross, Children's Hospital & Medical Center and KETV are asking the community to make the time to give blood this holiday season and give hope to patients in need.
While the need for blood is ongoing, the supply isn't – especially around the holidays due to travel plans and inclement weather in some parts of the country. Give someone hope this holiday season; give blood at the 7th Annual Holiday Blood Drive on Tuesday, December 29, or at one of the many other blood drives held throughout the metro each day.
Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Millard North High School, Mustang Center
144th & Pacific Streets, Omaha
Free child care is available and the event will feature family friendly activities including face painting and storytelling.
Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
American Red Cross Loess Hills Blood Donation Center
16th St & Avenue G, Council Bluffs
Both venues will feature great food catered by Hy-Vee and dessert from Village Inn. All presenting donors will receive a free T-shirt and can enter for a chance to win great raffle prizes, including a Splash and Stay package from CoCo Key Water Resort and gift cards to local dining and entertainment venues.
Eligible donors are encouraged to call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543) or visit givebloodgivelife.org to schedule an appointment to donate blood on December 29.
How to Donate Blood
Simply call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543) or visit givebloodgivelife.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors younger than 19 years also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
About the American Red Cross
Governed by volunteers and supported by giving individuals and communities, the American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood products to hospitals throughout the United States. While local hospital needs are always met first, the Red Cross also helps ensure no patient goes without blood no matter where or when they need it. In addition to providing nearly half of the nation's blood supply, the Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster, trains millions in lifesaving skills, serves as a communication link between U.S. military members and their families, and assists victims of international disasters or conflicts.

For the first time, people responding to a global survey are more likely to view China and not the United States as the world's leading economic power.
The results of the Pew Research Center survey do not reflect reality: America's economy remains well ahead of its closest rival. But it does highlight China's steadily rising public image amid rapid growth, as well as the erosion of the United States' status as the global superpower, especially after the 2008 financial crisis left it struggling with recession and high unemployment.

Cancer Health Center
Blood Test Predicts Cancer Risk
April 19, 2005 (Anaheim, Calif.) -- A simple blood test can predict whether men are at heightened risk for prostate and kidney cancer, researchers report.
The novel test, which looks for telltale signs of cancerous changes in genes, was described at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Genetic tests typically look for potentially cancerous changes in the cell's nucleus, home to most of our DNA. But the new test looks for mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, says John A. Petros, MD, associate professor of urology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.
Mitochondria are often called the cells' powerhouse; they produce the energy needed for cells to function. They also contain a small amount of DNA that is passed from mother to child.
Studies have linked nine suspected patterns in the genes of the mitochondria of men with prostate and kidney cancer, Petros tells WebMD.
Genetic Changes Double Cancer Risk
In the new study, Petros homed in what he says was the most likely candidate -- a genetic signature dubbed haplotype U.
The study included 121 men with kidney cancer, 221 men with prostate cancer, and 246 men without cancer. All the men were white Americans.
A specific variation in mitochondria DNA was found to be higher in men with cancer than in men without cancer.
"We found that haplotype U was present in 9.4% of the general population but 16.7% of prostate cancer patients and 20.7% of kidney cancer patients," Petros says.
What this means, he says, is that men who are white and who test positive for this genetic signature are at about twice the risk of prostate and kidney cancer as other white men.
"That places over 20 million men in the United States in this high-risk group," Petros says.
He suggests all white men have the test. Though it is not yet available commercially, the test can be performed in any academic, clinical, or private lab, he says.
So what do you do if you test positive? Petros recommends extra vigilance in screening for the cancers.
"You should have a serum PSA and digital rectal exam to look for prostate cancer and a CT or ultrasound scan to look for signs of renal cancer," he says.
"There's no downside to having the test," Petros says. "It's so low risk, all you need is a drop of blood. If you're told you're high risk, you get confirmatory testing that shows whether you really have cancer or not."
Harmless Testing?
But Timothy Richard Rebbeck, PhD, says though the approach is really promising, it's nowhere near ready for prime time.
"It still has to be validated in a larger number of people," he tells WebMD. "This is still basic science."
There are some real downsides to being told you have cancer when you don't or vice versa --unneeded anxiety or a false sense of security being just two, says Rebbeck, professor of epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and moderator of a news conference that discussed the findings.
Eventually, though, mitochondrial DNA testing may prove truly useful, he says. "Mitochondrial DNA are involved in cell repair. So you might hypothesize that a cell with out-of-control mitochondria would be more prone to become a tumor," he says.

My time at Goucher has taught me so much. Now as I prepare to go study abroad, with your help, I will be furthering my academic experience by embarking on a life changing adventure: to study in India.
Hello friends,
As I am getting ready to study abroad I realize that this is not a journey I can take alone; emotionally, spiritually, or financially. I am not one to ask for help, but I am asking for help now. Every amount makes a difference, I would greatly appreciate your help. f you wouldn't mind taking a couple minutes to visit my fundraiser I would be very thankful.
Much love,

I love this.

Rocco Morabito won the 1968 Pulitzer Prize for Spot Photography for this photograph – "The Kiss of Life."
Apprentice lineman J.D. Thompson is breathing life into the mouth of another apprentice lineman, Randall G. Champion, who hangs unconscious after receiving a jolt of high voltage.
Morabito was driving on West 26th Street in July 1967 on another assignment when he saw Champion dangling from the pole. He called an ambulance and grabbed his camera.
Champion recovered.

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
A harsh round of federal budget cuts could cost Huntsville thousands of jobs.
The White House released a report on the upcoming automatic spending reductions known as "sequestration." The cuts are due at the end of the year.
Experts on government budgets and contracts said this could easily cost more than 100,000 jobs and the impact would be especially harsh in communities that depend heavily on defense spending like Huntsville.
The White House said the cuts will be deeply destructive to national security, that sequestration is bad policy and calls on congress to take action to avoid it.
The defense budget will be cut nine and a half to 10 percent, more than $50 billion next year alone.
That would have devastating impact in industries that work with the military like many of the businesses in Research Park.
The report pointed out that these automatic cuts were never really meant to happen, just the threat of them was supposed to force budget negotiators to reach a deal to cut the federal deficit, but they never could.
Tennessee Valley businesses have been getting advice on how to deal with the cuts from Alan Chvotkin with the Professional Services Council.
"Guessing at that is a real blood sport these days," said Chvotkin. "I'm not overly optimistic about the prospects but I sure hope there is one, because the implications of triggering sequestration are pretty draconian on the agencies, on the contractors and on the workforce."
There's a plan already on Capitol Hill that would head off the deep cuts to defense and protect all those jobs.
Thursday, the U.S. House of Representative passes a bill sponsored by Florida Republican Allen West to prevent the sequestration cuts from affecting defense, but the Obama administration is threatening to veto it.
