Really, America? Must everything always be political?
Picking a side and sticking to it is not a flaw in politics or sports or much else. Being guided in politics by a core philosophy is not just OK, it's the way politics should be done. But so many Americans are now driven almost entirely by ideology or partisanship (there is a difference) that historic moments that should unite us all become opportunities to divide us further.
The injured were still being removed from Boylston Street on Monday when partisans on the left and the right speculated that surely this must be the work of the other side. If they were not blaming the other side directly, they stated with no evidence whatsoever that the blasts confirmed their own political views.
Former U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., used the moment not to call for unity, but to take pot shots against people who advocate for lower taxes and smaller government. Conservative activists used the moment to bash the media, ironically getting facts wrong while complaining about news reports that, in the chaotic aftermath of a terrorist attack, were sometimes off base.
Have we really reached the point at which not even the bombing of a major American city can cause people to put down their partisan swords for a day?

The Chargers remain interested in signing Sproles to a long-term deal, but they won't be retaining his services on a 1-year basis as they did in 2009.
As the franchise player last year, Sproles made slightly more than $6.6 million. Because he would be entitled to a 10 % increase in 2010, that means the Chargers will have to pay him almost $7.3 million for one year if they give him a tender as a restricted free agent.
The Chargers and Sproles' agent will talk at the combine where a long-term contract will likely be disucussed. But the Chargers will not offer a tender, and that means Sproles will be a free agent.
As such, he can shop himself without restriction. And since the Chargers have made it clear they see him as a kick returner and backup running back, if there is even one other team out there that thinks Sproles can be more of a focal point of their offense and still return kicks and is, thus, willing to offer him significantly more money, who would blame him for taking it?
So NFL fans...Are there any takers?

RileyWhen my friend Jennifer Lister was expecting her third child, I was so happy. She's an amazing person, a fantastic mother. Jennifer and I don't live near each other anymore so we keep up on Facebook and I was so excited to virtually be there as her pregnancy progressed. Then she had a miscarriage. Everyone was naturally upset. But it was almost like Jen was the one to make us all get through it, even though it was she who was hurting and affected the most. She is a nurturer. So when she became pregnant again, we all rejoiced and prayed.
When she told us they wanted to rush her to c-section, we worried. When she told us her baby girl, beautiful Riley, had Down Syndrome, we worried for her health. But we learned quickly about the power of positivity, and we know Riley is here to do great things. Jennifer is allowing me to share her birth story, and how she sees Riley as a gift. On Down Syndrome, she says, "There's nothing down about it."
In Jennifer's own words:
We tried for nine months straight, my husband Brett and I, after just having a miscarriage two months prior. Then, it happened .... I knew I was pregnant even before I took the test because of the dreams I was having. I'm a very vivid dreamer. I find out many things in my dreams.
About 14 weeks along, an ultrasound detected my placenta was low so they needed to watch it. If it didn't move, I was told I would have to have a c-section. I've never had any operation at all in my life. I have two daughters and delivered both vaginally. As they were monitoring my placenta monthly they found "soft markers" for Down Syndrome. That meant both Down Syndrome and non Down Syndrome children can have these markers. Immediately I responded with, "They are all going to go away." But my doctor wanted me to have blood work done to see if I was high risk for Down Syndrome. It turned out I was. When he called to tell me, he informed me that I still had time to kill her. I was floored. I was 22 weeks along and I have THE RIGHT to kill my baby?! Who gives me that right? I can kill my baby but not my annoying neighbor or a rapist. How is that okay?
I couldn't even find words to say back at first, then I almost threw up. My response was of what you can imagine if you know me. To this day it makes me so very sick I had the choice to end my child's life ONLY because of Down Syndrome. I shouldn't have THAT right no matter WHAT the case is! I am a HUGE believer in the power of attraction, and I knew the markers would go away, and they did. But I knew there were risks and I told myself that if she were to have Down Syndrome (which by the way should be called Ups because they are a blessing from God) it would be a very mild case. I kept telling everyone this, how mild I felt it would be. How everything was going to be just great!! They were nervous, I was excited. My Mom told me I need to read about Down Syndrome and all the bad things that go along with it, you know to prepare myself. But I was prepared. There were too many negative things online about it and negativity was not in my plan for my daughter Riley.
During my pregnancy, I would sit on my bed and look at Riley's name painted on the wall and I felt that something was a little off. I felt like nothing was wrong, but something wasn't right. I just blew it off as my hormones. I see this as me knowing she was special before I even met her.
Thirty-six weeks and six days along on Monday, August 15, 2011, my ultrasound detects my amniotic fluid is pretty low and she likely needed to come that day. So there I sat in one part of the hospital waiting to be told by my doctor to go over to labor and delivery. It was time -- I called my husband to leave work to come meet me. The nurse gets me ready as they wait for Brett to arrive.
The trip to the OR seemed like such a long ride, but finally we got there. Instantly about five different people start working on me all at once, prepping me. I do not remember being wheeled back to my recovery room I was so heavily drugged. I DO remember my husband coming into the room crying telling me the NICU head doctor just told him Riley has Down Syndrome. He was admiring Riley through the glass as they were bathing her and this doctor comes up to Brett and says "You're aware of her condition right?"
I was so angry that there wasn't more sensitivity from that doctor. Brett was upset, I was still groggy, and our two older daughters were scared and confused. And I hadn't even seen or nursed my baby yet. I delivered her at 5:25 p.m. and she was brought to me after 2 a.m. We were told she wasn't eating, but I wanted to nurse her so I didn't know why they weren't bringing her to me. When I finally saw Riley, I smiled. Everything calmed. As I looked down at my precious baby, I couldn't see anything at all different about her. She was perfect from head to toe.
At about 10 a.m. the next day, I'm told they hear a murmur in Riley's heart and it could be a hole. After crying for about 45 seconds, I said she is going to be just fine. Later I am told it's a normal murmur and her heart is just fine. The next morning they took her from me, again. This time she was admitted to the NICU. She hadn't truly pooped yet. I walk down to the NICU with my mother-in-law to find out what's going on. Brett and the girls weren't there yet. They inform me how some Down Syndrome infants have bowel problems and she may need an operation if she didn't poop soon. Once the operation took place it would be weeks before we could really start to feed her so she may be in there a while. Again, I cry as they tell me this. I'm not listening. I'm thinking rainbows and butterflies. I look up and say how she is going to poop and will not need an operation. Two hours later, she pooped! I was told she needed to stay in the NICU until we go home with her, but I can start feeding her in about 12 hours. She had a feeding tube down her throat at first, but then got to take some breastmilk from drops from a bottle.
The next few days were a blur. Many hours spent in the NICU trying to get Riley to drink some breastmilk so she could go home. During these days I remember the looks on everyone's faces. So nervous. I smiled and focused on "all will be fine". Don't get me wrong I had plenty of "cry-water" moments, balling my eyes out because I didn't fit in that tiny little NICU crib she was in.
A friend of mine called me to tell me everything was going to be just fine. Her son who is 7 has Down Syndrome and he is perfect. I remember how amazed she was about my happy attitude and how I was handling everything. She too was smashed through the floor by how she was informed "of her son's condition" after being told all the tests were negative as well.
I remember sitting in my hospital bed SO very excited to have Riley for all she is. I told everyone too -- doctors, nurses, my friends, people I passed in the hospital, I told anyone who would listen, and even some who weren't. You should have seen all the doctors faces when I would talk to them. It was like I was consoling them. They didn't know how to react to me. Everything they had to say about Down Syndrome was negative and with every single negative I came back with at least three positives. It felt so empowering.
It was the nurses who were the compassionate ones. Two nurses, both with Down Syndrome children, came to see Brett and I as soon as they heard. Those nurses were amazing, reassuring me their children were just perfect and Riley was, too. I told them I agreed. I'm still close with one of those nurses. We text, send pictures of our kids and talk about meeting again. I love it.
Riley came home after six days. If someone were to ask me have I ever won anything my answer is yes, I won the lottery the day Riley was able to come home. Having to leave the hospital without my baby was the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life. It was August 23, 2011, and I was waiting for us to be discharged from the NICU and the earth moved. Literally. There was a freak occurrence -- an earthquake centered in Virginia shook much of the East Coast and where I was in Pennsylvania. As I stood there smiling from head to toe, ear to ear, holding my baby, I felt the earth move beneath my feet. I have never felt something so scary and powerful in my life. Then I looked down at Riley and thought, "Of course there was just an earthquake, you're coming home today and that's huge. You're going to rock this world on it's ass for the better!" I wasn't scared anymore.
As we were being discharged a head doctor told us they received the chromosome blood work back. With this scared and not great look on his face he confirmed Riley did have Trisomy 21. My immediate reaction was a great big "YES" with a "fist pull down" through the air and a huge smile! I can still see the doctor's face. At first he thought I was confused and misunderstood him. Oh hell no he was the one confused not me. Well, he and my husband both looked at me a little funny, but hey I'm used to that. I consoled the doctor telling him how this is a wonderful thing and I'm so excited. He truly looked at me as if I had just spun my head all the way around while vomiting.
Riley is now 5 months old and she is the happiest baby I have ever known. She does physical therapy and speech therapy, and massage therapy once a week. I'm a fighter and will make sure my daughter gets all she needs. Since the day I was told there was a possibility Riley would have Down Syndrome I truly have been excited and ONLY "saw" her healthy and excelling. Power of attraction, I told you I swear by it. Riley is a very healthy and smart baby who is meeting all her milestones, some even ahead of time.
So, if you are blessed enough to have been chosen to have a baby with "Up" Syndrome -- or you know someone who has -- my advice is to SMILE. It's the best thing that will ever happen to you. It's a shame society and doctors are blind to this. I have believe that Riley will open their eyes! There is nothing down about it.
Jennifer has created a Facebook group where parents of children with special needs can support each other and talk. It's called I'm Proud of My Child With Special Needs. She plans on sharing more and hopes others will as well.
Thank you for sharing your story Jennifer. Reading this I am reminded how when we are faced with challenges in life, we choose either to find the positive or dwell in the negative. Your positivity is so inspiring. I know you and Riley are destined for even more great things.
Do you have a child with Down Syndrome and can relate to Jennifer? What would you say to pregnant moms who are worried about a test saying their child may have special needs?
I have been blessed with 2 kids with DS..I couldn't imagine my life without them!! They bring such love and joy to everyone around them :)
I have a special needs child and I have long believed that I am all that stands between him and a dark future. Parents who fight for these kids make a huge difference in their future.
my first child was born when i was 20...we neve in a million years thought anything but a "normal" baby wascoming. We were so excited when she was born and they rushed heroff only to come back and say that she had downs and she would never be normal...well 6 years later she is still so lovable and so sweet. the doctors told us we should consider not having anymore children but well we did we have two more "normal" children that are far more work then are little Olivia...she took a little longer to talk and walk...but well it was a blessing in disguise because now she never stops talking...she is a very active very talktaive child she keeps up well in school and loves everyone she comes across...the most imortant thing is to remember to treat them the way you would anyone else they are no different just a whole lot nicer...
I've heard the same sorts of things from other parents of children with DS. Maybe not that they were as excited as you about it. lol But that they've realized those are some very special children. Everything I hear is about how happy these kids are. That is one beautiful baby girl you have. :)
That said, you really could have left the abortion sermon out of the story. It is your story to tell but it wasn't necessary to go on a whole self-righteous spiel about it. Just be prepared for the comments about that alone.

There is no doubt that Texas needs resources for those dealing with mental health issues. News 92 FM's Pattie Shieh spoke with two people on the front line of the fight for more money:
Police are often the first and only phone call for families who are dealing with a loved one's mental illness. That's why the Houston police department has one of the largest crisis intervention teams in the country.
Houston police chief Charles McClelland hopes more funding will change that.
"Without adequate funding for mental health police is really the only government agency that's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week so that's what people resort to they have no other place or entity to call," Chief McClelland said.
The bottom line is resources are few for many struggling with mental health challenges. The conditions often require years of care, expensive medication, and access to doctors.
"We don't treat anything else like this," said Dr. Steven Schnee. "We don't wait for people to go into a diabetic coma and collapse on the street before we try to provide the kind of health services and educational services and supports they need."
Dr. Schnee serves as the executive director of Harris County's Mental Health and Mental Retardation Association. He describes Texas has having accommodations for thousands but that there are hundreds of thousands who need help, and insurance plays a huge role.
"Very often they have no options particularly in this state where one in four people are medically uninsured and in Harris County where roughly 1 in 3 are uninsured and with the growth that we have in our population that's occurring literally every day, it's a huge hole that we have dug for ourselves."
Dr. Schnee believes the problem can be solved but it will take years to build an adequate infrastructure of support and education. the reality is without it, the problem will only get worse.

This is my 1st time using a case that does not have protection all the way around the bottom. I am brutal on my iPhones. As luck would have it, I dropped it on my driveway & the bottom corner (above where the headphone jack is) got dinged. The case was barely chipped but my iPhone was scraped & a small bit of the black chipped off. So, back to full case coverage for me. It's a shame because I really like the colors/design of this case. It has a soft feel to it and does not collect dirt. It fits exactly.

Game of Thrones: Is It Winter Yet? How About Now?
There was no Game of Thrones this week, leading thieves across the world to refresh their torrent sites over and over and then throw their laptops at the wall in agonised rage.
At this point in the season, with two episodes to go until we find out how the writers plan to stretch these storylines over another year of well-funded excuse to travel around the world, I'd like to take stock. What has actually happened this year? Which characters are the MVPs, keeping the show alive and exciting, and which are just Mellisandre and Stannis? What do we hope to happen in those last two episodes? How fast do those dragons grow, anyway? Also: Boobs! Should there be fewer?*
*Please don't lynch me.
I'm going to break this down by character, with a little commentary about each (bearing in mind that I haven't read the books. This is show-only stuff). If a character isn't mentioned, it's because they're too boring to write about (sorry, Loras!). This is in order of least-to-most interesting.
Jon Snow
Controversial, I know. But Jon "The Snowman" Snow is a contradiction; the show's most boring character stuck in its most interesting story. The wildlings up north expand the show's mythology, give it an immediate threat, and feature a man wearing armour made entirely of bones*.
*Seriously, why don't we see more of him?! He's been in ONE episode. As has the friggin' GIANT, come to think of it. Give the people what they want!
But Jon himself rarely makes a decision. He decided to join the Night Swatch way back at the beginning of season one – a more innocent time, when boys were pushed out of towers and direwolves were still sometimes in the show. Now he just gets dragged around by other, more interesting characters.
Credit where credit is due, though; the mountain-climbing scene was awesome. And the fact that his beard remains just this side of unruly while never being completely shaven indicates an impressively dedicated trimming regime.
I do have my fingers crossed that Snow will pick up his act, and perhaps unite Northerners and Southerners against the coming zombie threat (although, we saw herds of them marching past poor Sam at the end of last season, and now…? Don't tell me that Sam is beating them south).
Arya Stark
I know, I know. This one pains me, because I love the Arya of seasons one and two. But she's been Jon Snowed this season; dragged around the woods by the Brotherhood Without Bandanas, then by the Hound. Her most emotional scene was saying goodbye to Hot Pie, for pete's sake.
But she can be awesome, and Maisie Williams is one of the show's most likeable actors. So I have high hopes for season 4.
Also, her direwolf is still out there, right? Either it's laying in wait to return at Arya's moment of greatest need, or – as is more likely – it's just humping the crap out of everything in Westeros.
When we last saw her, she was being brought to a rendezvous with her brother and mother, but don't count on that happening. As much as I don't want this to be a show where main characters are artificially kept apart for seven years (or so), I'm pretty sure that's what I'm in for.
Or, hey, maybe she'll just become king.
Stannis Baratheon
Stannis. God damn it.
Just "being magic" and "getting your norks out" don't actually amount to being a character. Sorry. Melisandre is only saved from the top of this list because she chucked leeches onto Gendry's balls, which was hilarious.
Davos Seaworth
Dragged down by his proximity to the above two characters, but increasingly backed into a corner where he'll have to choose between what he thinks is right, and his loyalty to Stannis (God damn you, Stannis). That's sort of interesting, right? Also, watching him learn to read is gosh-darned adorable.
He also has the worst nickname imaginable ("The Onion Knight"), but carries it well.
Bonus points: Was a submarine captain in Doctor Who. Both submarines and Doctor Who are awesome.
Sansa Stark
Season one: Travelled to King's Landing. Seasons two and three: Just… sort of hung around. Doesn't seem like a story that tells three seasons to tell, does it? But then she had to marry Tyrion, which is great (seriously, girl. You'll never do any better), after nearly-marrying every other noble guy she came across.*
*I'm surprised that she wasn't engaged to Jaime's severed hand at one point.
Theon Greyjoy
After a great season 2, where Theon betrayed the family that raised him to win his biological father's respect (see? A proper dramatic choice! A bad one, but still. Stories!), Theon has spent almost all of season 3 in one room. What keeps it sort of interesting is that he's having his balls tortured off (literally! WTF?!).
Robb Stark
Whom the people may come to know as The Mediocre King. He's fine, I guess.
Cersei Lannister
Peter "Littlefinger" Baelish
Dude. That moustache.
And you really should have known better than to let Bane onto that aeroplane.
Joffrey Baratheon
A show like this needs good villains. And, you know. He's tortured multiple women to death and killed Boromir.
Also, that bit where he took away Tyrion's stool during the wedding ceremony? Hilarious. I would be more than happy if Joffrey just spent the remaining episodes being an evil little prankster, moving stools about and balancing buckets of wine above the doors of the throne room.
Samwell Tarly
Sure, he's a little fat and stupid, but he had the good sense to get the hell out when the ruckus got started at Craster's Daughter Impregnating and Baby Abandoning Incestorium. And when he saved Gilly and the baby from the magical snow zombie with his awesome knife, that was legit hero stuff. You and I are okay, Samwell! We're okay.
In terms of the next two episodes… well… I'll be happy if we get a name for that damn baby.
Daenerys Targaryen/Khaleesi/Mother of Dragons/Seth MacFarlane's Ex-Girlfriend
Yes, yes, the Khaleesi is who we all want to be. Burnin' town entire cities of slavers and building a giant army just to head across the sea and have a dragon eat Joffrey's head. She only won her last battle by being attractive and having her new love interest do all the work, so that's a little anti-climactic. But, still; dragons.
My hopes for the last couple of episodes mainly revolve around her riding one of the dragons. That has to happen at some point, right? Even if it's not flying, just scurrying around the ground picking up treats. That'd be something. Just picture it!
Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion has lost a little of his "drunken scheming" coolness this season, but he has some totally rad facial scars to make up for it. And he married a fourteen year old, which is awful, but didn't immediately get to gettin' on her, which is something. And he has Shae, who is all kinds of likeable. If only we all had a prostitute/lover/maid to call our own, we'd be living in George RR Martin's fantasy world.
And, for the last two episodes? I think that's obvious; winking suggestions of a three-way.
Margaery Tyrell/Magic Gyllenhaal
Margaery owns. I will have no problem if everybody winds up dead and she wins the throne. Just because, in a show where everyone is trying to manipulate everyone else to increase their own power, she stands out by being good at it.
If Joffrey had to have Pycell make a magic duplicate of Maggie Gyllenhall for him to marry, I'm glad it was this one.
Brienne of Tarth
Friggin' BEARS, man!
Jaime Lannister
You are kidding yourself if you think that this season hasn't been All About Jaime. He's been taken prisoner, then forced to fight alongside his captor, before deciding to save her from a horrible fate and getting himself mutilated in the process. He was given the chance to go home to King's Landing, then turned back to jump into a bear pit and pull Brienne out. Choices! He's the anti-Jon Snow! Jaime is almost keeping this show alive single-handedly.*
*I won't lie, I high-fived myself after that. Which is sort of ironic, I guess.
I can only assume that the rest of the season will involve Jaime becoming even more amazing and simultaneously loveable and hateable. He's like bad pizza in that way.

Spicy Vegetable Ragout Over Polenta

redhead1971 Posted: 02/06/09
I've made this dish twice now and it's tasty -- even my 3-year old will eat it (minus the chili pepper, chili powder & flakes). I've used different veggies, what I have on hand, and, to save time, I buy the tube of polenta in the store, slice and bake it in the oven. Seriously I can make this dish in under in an hour -- a great week night family dinner.
taves7 Posted: 09/01/09
This was very tasty and easy to make. I would cut down on the chili powder a little, but I really liked it. I also used the tube of polenta to save time. No substitutions, but I can see a variety of veggies being great in this dish. I will make it again.
bellymama Posted: 08/24/11
We loved the ragout -- used up all our fresh veggies from the farmers' market. We used tubed polenta. Also, sprinkled feta over the ragout. Yum!

If Georgia State's men's basketball team were to have the best season in school history on and off the court, which would include a national championship, coach Ron Hunter could receive more than $1.6 million in compensation in 2013-14. The total would change in subsequent years.
That total is the sum of salary, allowances and bonuses noted in the new contract signed last week. A copy of the contract, which expires April 30, 2018, was obtained by the AJC through an Open Records Request.
Here is a breakdown of that total, with other details from the contract:
$400,000 base salary (the salary increases from $350,ooo to $400,000 on May 1, 2013. After April 30, 2014, a new base salary shall be negotiated for the remaining four years.
$6,000 automobile allowance
$4,000 apparel allowance
$2,000 club membership in Commerce Club
$50,000 Appearance agreement for radio/TV/internet shows
$462,000 in annual salary, allowance and appearance fees
$1,150,000 sum total of maximum allowance bonuses for on-the-court performances. This is the largest amount in the $1.6 million and obviously the toughest to reach. The bonuses range from $25,000 for winning the conference during the regular season to $500,000 for winning the national championship. The team has made the NCAA tournament twice in its history, advancing to second round once.
$5,000 if the team's GPA is 2.8 or higher and the team has no more than zero APR points.
$7,500 highest achievable bonus for team's academic performance. If the team's multi-year Academic Progress Rate is greater than 975, Hunter receives that bonus. If the team's APR is between 930 and 940, he receives $2,500. It escalates up to the maximum amount. The team had an APR of 971 last year, which would result in a bonus of $5,000.
$15,000 student-athlete conduct bonus. If no member of the team either accepts responsibility for violating any academic, disciplinary or other polices in the University's Code of Conduct or is found to have violated any of those policies, Hunter receives that $15,000 bonus.
So, if the Georgia State men's basketball program were to have the best year in its history, Hunter could earn as much as $1,639,500 in one year.
If Georgia State were to fire Hunter without cause, he would owed:
$2,100,000 July 1, 2012-April 30, 2013
$1,750,000 May 1, 2013-April 30, 2014
$1,400,000 May 1, 2014-April 30, 2015
$1,050,000 May 1, 2015-April 30, 2016
$700,000 May 1, 2016-April 30, 2017
$350,000 May 1, 2017-April 30, 2018
If Hunter terminates his employment, he would owe:
$750,000 July 1, 2012-April 30, 2013
$700,000 May 1, 2013-April 30, 2014
$650,000 May 1, 2014-April 30, 2015
$600,000 May 1, 2015-April 30, 2016
$550,000 May 1, 2016-April 30, 2017
$500,000 May 1, 2017-April 30, 2018

Definately money well spent CRH is awesome! Side note, If we win a national Championship next year I'll double that offer.

Thanks for the info. In the past we have only guessed what the bonuses were and I for one would not have guessed this.
Here is to CRH and the hope that you achieve the highest bonus possible.

Doug, why is it allowed to publish any coach's salary? Is it because tax payer money is being used? I am a Dawg fan and I like Coach Hunter but I think it is not wise to make such private information known to the general public. I feel the same way about announcing the salaries of pro athletes. It may jeopardize their and their families personal safety. Don't give criminals anymore incentive to be criminals. Just sayin'.
September 14th, 2012

KPB, we all know Richt's salary as well. You can look up the salaries of any Div I football coach or basketball coach. I dont think there have been many if any documented problems.

Love it. There has to be incentives for making the NCAA Tournament and for each round we advance?!?

Doug is this contract comparable to the terms agreed upon by the GA Tech and UGA coach in their contracts? You can't post this without showing that the contract is similar to others.
Additionally is there a clause that awards Hunter $10,000 for punching CAA referee Jerry Heater in the face? Throw out my coach that's one thing but to toss a cheerleader for looking at you wrong that is classless. GSU is coming for you Jerry….no where to hide this year. #thrownoutbyjerryheater

Anderson J. Mhungu, for many years General Secretary of the Zimbabwe Amalgamated Railwaymen's Union (ZARU), died on 16 July [2008]. He was a member of the ITF Executive Board from 1980 to 1990 and an ITF Vice President from 1986 to 1990. He was awarded the ITF Gold Badge at the 1990 Congress.
Anderson Mhungu made history on his first appearance at an ITF Congress, the Stockholm Congress of 1974. He was the first and (so far) the last delegate to sing much of his maiden speech. It was a freedom song, sung in what the official Proceedings described 'as his own language' (probably Sindebele but perhaps Shona). The interpreters were understandably defeated but the language problem was transcended by the force of this big man's palpable sincerity and commitment.
Most of his audience – and, as I recall, Mhungu himself – were unaware that his credentials had been hotly contested by a well-intentioned but not very well-informed group of African Rhodesian exiles. They had lobbied a number of delegations, the Australians especially, with the claim that Ian Smith's "Republic" of Rhodesia would have made it practically impossible for a genuine black Rhodesian trade unionist to get to Stockholm:
Mhungu had therefore to be a stooge. The truth was that two factors had in fact facilitated his attendance: the first that Rhodesian Railways operated also in Botswana; the second that there were in the British Foreign Office of those days (long gone) some senior officials who were actively supportive of the international trade union movement and of the ITF in particular. .And so Mhungu had taken the train to Gaborone, where he exchanged his worthless "Rhodesian" passport (made out contemptuously to "Anderson", family names being reserved for Whites) for a temporary British passport.
His Congress performance settled any doubts. His union, then known as the Railway African Workers' Union, was one of the very few in Africa to have real industrial strength, a force even the Smith regime had to take seriously. But they were turbulent and unpredictable times. The white railwaymen's union, long affiliated to the ITF, had once looked paternalistically and benignly on its African (and much bigger) counterpart. Railway jobs, wages and union memberships were structured, historically and explicitly, by race. So as long as the Africans 'knew their place' conflict and competition were unlikely. But the Africans were now demanding equity and the white union was reacting in much the same way as the white minority generally, by drawing its wagons closer together around more and more reactionary leaders.
Anderson Mhungu's great achievement was to preserve his union's strength and integrity throughout the Smith era and the subsequent emergence of Zimbabwe. He did so by making sure that his members' industrial interests always had first call on his and the union's time. Other political and social issues and ambitions were of course hugely important to Zimbabweans but they had to find their own place and outlet. When the ITF first assisted the union in 1953 it was led by Joshua Nkomo, later to become one of Zimbabwe's most famous politicians, but Anderson kept a wary eye on anyone tempted to use trade unions as a political vehicle. (When he acted for a period as Treasurer of the national centre, the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), his strict approach to the use of union money did not always go down well with Morgan Tsvangirai, the ZCTU's Secretary General at the time.)
He was given a standing ovation when he received the ITF Gold Badge at the ITF's Florence Congress in 1990 shortly before he retired. Those present would have sensed and recognized his great qualities as a trade unionist but few had had the chance to get to know him for the modest, warm and funny man that he was away from the public arena. Those lucky enough to have enjoyed his friendship and company over the years will have every reason to remember him gratefully and miss him dearly.

Audi is refreshing the A5 model series. Advanced technologies are being added to the Sportback, Coupe, Cabriolet and S5 models in the areas of the engine, quattro drive and infotainment for even more efficiency, sportiness and intelligence. The updated design visually underscores the technical expertise involved in these versions.
The A5 models are now more distinctive than ever. The rear lights and the headlights have been redesigned and are optionally available in xenon plus technology with homogenous LED daytime running lights. New colors and materials accentuate the interior, and many details of the operating concept have been fine-tuned.
Each of the four TDI diesel and three TFSI gasoline units in the new engine lineup include forced induction and direct fuel injection. The new 1.8 TFSI features a number of groundbreaking innovations. Fuel consumption has been reduced by 11 percent on average. The start-stop system and the recuperation system come standard with all engine-transmission configurations.
Each engine is matched with the ideal drivetrain - six-speed manual, multitronic, seven-speed S tronic, front-wheel drive or quattro drive. When combined with S tronic, the quattro drivetrain uses the crown-gear center differential and torque vectoring; the sport differential is the perfect complement. The chassis has been more finely tuned, with the optional Audi drive select system and dynamic steering making the A5 even more fun to drive. The electromechanical power steering is new to the A5 family.
The new A5 is a highly intelligent car. Its driver assistance systems have undergone intensive further development. The range of infotainment options now includes the Bluetooth online car phone, which delivers a number of special services and connects the A5 to the Internet.
A successful family is now even more attractive: Audi is refreshing the A5 model series. New solutions for the engines, quattro drive and infotainment are being added to the Sportback, Coupe, Cabriolet and S5 models, making them even more sporty and efficient. The design is now even more dynamic.
Ever since their debut, the models of the A5 family - the Sportback, Coupe and Cabriolet - have impressed with their elegance. The flowing silhouettes, the sharp lines and the muscular surfaces make strong statements. The product improvement adds sharp new accents to the design.
The upper corners of the single-frame grille in high-gloss black are beveled. The grille's lateral bars and the Audi rings appear to be sculpted. The new bumper features pronounced air inlets with massive struts, revamped grilles and flat fog lights. Sharply chiseled edges give the engine hood a three-dimensional look; the entire front end appears even flatter and wider.
The headlights have also been updated. Their lower edge forms a wave; their interior has been restructured. With the optional xenon plus headlights, the LED daytime running lights form a narrow, homogenous clasp framing the headlight. Audi also offers the adaptive light system with dynamic cornering light and turning light. The rear lights have also been redesigned and are optionally available with continuous LED light strips. The bumper includes a number of additional details.
The product improvement has added a millimeter (0.04 in) to each of the exterior dimensions. The A5 Sportback is 4.71 meters (15.45 ft) long; the Coupe and the Cabriolet 4.63 meters (15.19 ft). The range of colors has been reshuffled and now comprises 16 colors. The fully automatic acoustic top of the A5 Cabriolet is available in four colors. The S line exterior package is available for those who appreciate an even more dynamic look.
The vehicle bodies impress with high rigidity, outstanding crash safety, high vibrational comfort and low weight. The front fenders are made of aluminum for improved axial load distribution. Aerodynamic fine-tuning measures include a lined underbody.

Linux groupware server natively serves Outlook clients
Zarafa replaces Microsoft Exchange on a Linux server and collaborates with Outlook thanks to native MAPI support.
Many Linux servers work in heterogeneous environments, serving Windows clients that use MS Outlook for mail and calendar functions. Even if a new groupware system is introduced, the widespread use of Windows clients sometimes makes Outlook an inescapable alternative. Unfortunately, Outlook uses the native Windows Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) for communication with other applications, and the Outlook client is designed to talk to a Windows Exchange server. This preference for Exchange makes the integration of Linux-based groupware systems difficult.

5 Tips for Selling a Service Now
Dazzle Customers With Data
Ralph Gaines, president and CEO of BeBetter Networks, a Charleston, West Virginia company that helps employers put together wellness programs and manage preventive health care, says that compiling and distributing data is important. The $16.8 million company, which just came off its best quarter ever, collects statistics on health risk factors (obesity, high blood pressure, a history of smoking, etc.) for individual employees and for a company's workforce as a whole. Over time, the ability to use that data to establish trends and to project costs becomes increasingly valuable. "We're not out selling ideas or products based on slick marketing tools and selling methods," says Gaines. "When you're data driven, you succeed."

Hong Kong daily views Chinese media practice in light of UK phone hacking issue
Friday, Jul 22,2011, 9:42:22 PM
Compared with the now-defunct News of the World, the China Economic Times has rarely blipped on the radar screen of the international community - not until it disbanded a five-member team of investigative journalists this week.
The story about the Chinese government newspaper's decision to close the two-year-old team was given prominent coverage on Tuesday [19 July] in some English-language newspapers including the Wall Street Journal and the South China Morning Post.
The management was quoted by journalists as saying "it was part of a turn towards more economic reporting". But doubters believe it has to do with the work of the investigative reporters in making hard-hitting exposes of government wrongdoings.
David Bandurski, a researcher at the University of Hong Kong's China Media Project, said in the Wall Street Journal report that "it's a very worrying sign". He was referring to the ongoing round of intensified pressure from the Communist authorities for the media to toe the official line.
The latest setback to China's fragile independent press has come at an interesting time when the dubious culture and practices of an international media empire, News Corporation, became the subject of much soul-searching, finger-pointing and satire among journalists and society in different parts of the world.
In a report published on its website on Tuesday, the official Xinhua news agency commented that the "phone-hacking-gate" scandal has exposed the hypocrisy of the Western press. Under the present market-oriented Western media system, it will not be possible for the press to be "pure, independent, fair and objective" as they have claimed because of their profit-seeking nature, according to the unnamed article. Under the Western system, it is extremely difficult for the press to exercise self-restraint, it said.
The Xinhua article quoted a journalism academic as saying the spillover impact of the incident might affect other News Corporation newspapers and the press in the United States.
But while ridiculing what they called the hypocrisy of the Western press, the Chinese propaganda machine has stopped short of praising the press on the mainland. That is not surprising. Indeed, the whole set of questions about the role and function of the press in China has indeed been a taboo the ruling party has tried to avoid.
This is despite the drastic, profound changes in China's media landscape in recent year that saw the rapid growth of the internet, social media and the emergence of independent media, which, taken together, constituted a far more complex picture than those being seen from the West.
Hu Shuli, founder of the independent Caijing magazine who now runs the Caixin magazine, is adamant it would be too simplistic to view mainland media as a mere tool of the state, adding there are now different voices in the media sector.
Speaking at a luncheon meeting in Hong Kong last week, she took an optimistic view on the development of independent media in China as long as they stuck to the mission and stance of telling the truth to the people.
Truth, ironically, is less relevant in the success story of the media empire of News Corporation. What is more ironical is that the assertion of people's right to know has become the convenient excuse for sensational press to intrude into the private lives of celebrities and venture into dubious ways of news gathering.
If anything, the disbandment of the investigative team at the China Economic Times is just another small episode in the development of independent media in China in its fight for a meaningful watchdog role.
It may sound mission impossible to China-bashers and doubters. That could not be more critically important in China's development as a watchdog that tells the truth and bites could help ensure powers are not abused, laws are not ignored and rules nor arbitrarily enforced by the authorities.

Willis, Edward, "The Twelfth Georgia Infantry," Southern Historical Society Papers 17(1889):161-165.
The Twelfth Georgia Infantry.CAMP ALLEGHANY,
Papers, Chiefly Relating to That Command.
(Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.)
Pocahontas county, Va., 28 July, 1861.
Mr. Editor: Knowing that the people of Georgia feel a deep interest in the condition and movements of the soldiers that represent that State in the service of the Southern Confederacy, and that among your readers are many of the friends and kindred--the parents and children, brothers, sisters and wives--of those attached to the same command with myself, I respectfully ask the privilege of publishing in your columns such items of intelligence, facts, incidents and speculations connected with our own regiment, or the general cause, as may likely interest or instruct the reader.
The Twelfth regiment of Georgia volunteers was organized in Richmond, Va., on the 3d day of July, under the following officers: Edward Johnson, colonel; Z. T. Conner, lieutenant colonel; Abner Smeade, major; Edward Willis, adjutant; Dr. H. K. Green, surgeon; Robert J. Lightfoot, quartermaster, and Richmond A. Reid, commissary.
The following companies compose the regiment, viz:
"Muckalee Guards," Sumter county, Captain Hawkins.
"Davis Guards," Dooly county, Captain Brown.
"Calhoun Rifles," Calhoun county, Captain Furlow.
"Lowndes Volunteers," Lowndes county, Captain Patterson.
"Davis Rifles," Macon county, Captain McMillan.
"Central City Blues," Bibb county, Captain Rodgers.
"Muscogee Rifles," Muscogee county, Captain Scott.
"Marion Guards," Marion county, Captain Blandford.
"Putnam Light infantry," Putnam county, Captain Davis.
"Jones Volunteers," Jones county, Captain Pitts.
On the day of our organization we received orders to search to Laurel Hill to unite with General Garnett's command at that place, and on Sunday, the 7th July, left Richmond, by railroad, to Staunton. Reaching this latter place a little before day Monday morning, we remained encamped there until Tuesday morning, when the order came to strike our tents and take up the line of march for Laurel Hill, distant about one hundred and twenty-five miles. Unaccustomed, as most of us were, to long pedestrian exercises, this was no very cheering prospect, and we could not exactly understand the good sense of selecting as a seat of war a point not accessible by railroad. (I trust the powers that be will remember this hint in any future orders they may issue to our regiment!) But good sense or otherwise the order came, and we had but to obey.
Soon all was in motion, and the regiment, followed by its long train of wagons, began slowly to file along the tortuous turnpike. To many of us who had never before seen an army on the march it was an imposing spectacle. The long line of soldiers winding slowly along the mountain sides, with their varied uniforms and bright guns glistening in the sun, the heavy, monotonous tramp of feet upon the rock-paved road, and the confused hum of a thousand voices were novel sights and sounds, and seemed to bring us nearer to the realities of actual war. Our daily stages were from twelve to fifteen miles, and were usually accomplished early enough in the afternoon to allow us ample time to pitch our tents, procure wood, provide our suppers, and make the necessary arrangements for the security of the camp. These marches were more or less fatiguing to many of our men, yet they performed them with a spirit and courage that deserves praise and shows them equal to the privations and hardships that lie along the soldier's pathway.
Thus we marched for five days, accomplishing about seventy-two miles, when, on Saturday evening, at Greenbrier Creek, near the foot of Cheat Mountain, we received intelligence of the fight at Rich Mountain, the retreat of General Garnett and the probable occupation by General McClellan of Beverley, and his probable advance to the top of Cheat Mountain, on the road between us and Beverley, a point so fortified by nature that a small force could hold it against greatly superior odds. Here also we met a Virginia regiment under the command of Colonel Scott retreating from Rich Mountain.
It being thus rendered impossible for us to join General Garnett's command, and not having a force with which we could hope to occupy the country in the face of the enemy's greatly superior numbers, we had no alternative but to retreat. Humiliating as was this movement, it seemed obviously the dictate of sound policy.
The details of the fight at Rich Mountain and Laurel Hill, and the retreat of General Garnett's command have already been published through so many channels (and more fully than I could furnish them) that I will not encumber your columns with a repetition of them.
After a brief rest and supper we began our retreat a little after dark Saturday night, and continued through that night and all the next day, encamping Sunday night at Monterey, about forty-five miles from Staunton. Long will we remember this retreat. Two days and a night of continuous marching was rather a severe ordeal for soldiers as young as we; and, though feeling it perhaps as keenly as any, having been on guard duty the night preceding, I could not withhold the sympathizing tear as I saw my companions, some of them delicate and weakly, weary and foot-sore, painfully measuring these almost endless miles of mountain road. When we reached our camp at Monterey we needed no soothing opiates to lull us to rest. The earth, rugged and damp as it was, with stones or canteens for pillows furnished a most inviting couch; and never have we enjoyed sounder, more refreshing sleep than on that evening with only these accommodations. Here we remained two or three days, and had the pleasure of greeting many of General Garnett's command who had made good their escape through the mountains, though suffering many privations and hardships in their flight. Among them also we met several members of the First Georgia regiment who were with General Garnett, and were glad to learn from them that that regiment had not suffered so severely as we had at first heard.
On Thursday, the 18th, we were ordered to return and occupy this place (which I have called Camp Alleghany, as it has no other name and is on the top of the Alleghany mountains), where we are still encamped. How long we are to remain or to what point we may be ordered I cannot tell. At present we occupy the advance position in this direction, the enemy's camp being distant about twenty miles by the road, though perhaps not exceeding twelve on an air line. We occupy the summit of the Alleghany, they of Cheat Mountain, and their tents are in full view from several points around our camp.
I have thus given you a sort of chronicle of our movements up to this time and our present position. I might intersperse it with many little incidents, personal and otherwise, of camp life, but they would make this letter too long and perhaps hardly repay the general reader for his pains. They are treasured, however, in our memories, and their recital will serve to enliven many an hour in the future when we shall have driven our invaders away and returned to our fondly remembered homes.
The country through which we have passed deserves some notice, possessing as it does many striking and interesting features. Making much of the travel from Richmond to Staunton in the night we, of course, had but limited opportunities to observe anything. One thing, however. we must record for the honor of the Virginia ladies (and we will not restrict it to the Virginia ladies, for the same thing met us at every step of our way from our homes in Georgia to Staunton), and that is the enthusiastic and graceful welcomes and greetings and Godspeeds they showered upon us from the doors and windows, and even house-tops along the road. Old women and young women, girls and even babies (so young that it must have been an instinct with them). waved their handkerchiefs, or bonnets, or aprons, or something, in token of their enthusiasm whenever we passed them. If there is anything that will stimulate faltering courage to the fighting point it certainly is the cheering of the fair, and our boys seemed fully to appreciate it.
Staunton is pleasantly located in the midst of towering hills that overlook it on every side, and is a place of frequent resort during the summer for its healthfulness and pleasant surroundings. It is also the site of the insane asylum and the institution for the deaf, dumb and blind--two institutions under State patronage.
The road from Staunton to Laurel Hill (as far as we traveled it) is a turnpike cut into the sides and over the tops of the mountains. So tortuous is its course that you may travel for miles without gaining in actual distance more than a few hundred yards, and sometimes the extremes of our column, stretching out a mile or nearly so in length, would be within a stone's throw of each other.
These mountain heights over which we passed sometimes discovered to us the most magnificent views that ever greeted the eye of man. Stretching almost infinitely on either hand are alternations of valleys with their teeming fields of grain, and mountains with clouds hanging gracefully on their sides and floating lazily about their tops. But these have been so often described that I shall not attempt it. The soil, even upon the tops of the mountains, from its appearance and products, seems to be of the richest character, more like the low lands in Georgia than mountain soil. Vegetation that we are accustomed to see only upon "bottoms" grows here in rich luxuriance upon the highest points.
The agricultural products are mainly small grain, though corn is grown in the valleys, and they are most abundant.
The population is confined chiefly to the valleys, the winter cold being too severe upon the mountains. Even now, in the latter part of July, we have to sit much by the fire and with overcoats on.
Our regiment has suffered some from the diseases usual in camp, though not more perhaps than was to be expected.
We are cheerful and in good spirits and prepared for any service that may be required of us. Of the progress of the war we know but little, our mail facilities being very limited. We are just now getting the details of the great battle of Manassas, fought a week ago within one hundred and fifty miles of us. What its results may be upon our enemies or the future history of the war we cannot tell, but are sure it will convince them that the subjugation of the South will not be the work of a holiday. History hardly furnishes a parallel to that battle, but if the North desire it we will seek to furnish more of the same sort.

Shades of Pink
The Wallflower
SFGate's design blog The Wallflower recently featured the colorful house of a photographer and art director couple living in North Oakland. The paint choices throughout the home are very nice, but this image really blew us away...
They created the shades of pink by starting with a deep fuschia (Pantone Blushing Red) and adding a bit of white incrementally for each band of color. Such a great idea, and so much more cost effective than buying a can for each stripe! You can see more of the couple's house at The Wallflower, including other happy paint choices used throughout their home.

I want to go to there. sigh.
Yea, I love pink.
The link doesn't work. Love the shaded wall though.
Have to wonder how the guy feels?
That reminds me of the beauty shop on Ugly Betty. Link to photo: http://bp0.blogger.com/_Skoh-lE8sO0/SCOgvFwLFLI/AAAAAAAAH6s/FgOwI3VOFPw/s400/215 Diaz Hilda 13 Hair Chop.jpg
link fixed!
Perhaps he doesn't think a wall color threatens his masculinity or sense of self?
I've often thought how fun a sweet pink powder room would be, but wouldn't dare, fearing shading into pepto-bismal territory. Pretty.
Liquid joie de vivre.
Happy place... plus I have those shoes:-)
how cute!
If he's anything like me (a dude that loves color, especially of the pantone and gradient variety), he likes it a lot! :)

SEO & Online Press Releases
So your web site is tweaked out and ready to sell: you've got it live, you've debugged it, you're proud of it. It exists, it is alive, but NO ONE sees it. So many people think that by carefully placing a well scripted title tag on the home page of their web site that it will transform their online presence and attract the droves of people just dying to visit your web site. This is not the case. If you build it, they may not come.
A great way of getting some targeted attention to your domain name online is through the press release. There are several outlets online where you can submit a well written press release and get some amazing publicity online. Here's the beauty of it…. If you remember to insert your URL (this is usually a premium service) into the press release and your press release is approved by the editors, the PR site publishes the release. This is where the magic occurs: Google, MSN & Yahoo all put a bit of weight onto these online PR sites due to their relevancy, etc. Therefore, once your press release is there and your web site is referenced, you start to become relevant: The more times your web site is linked off of these higher PR (page ranked) domains, the more weight Google will place on your domain and the better you will do in the organic search engine rankings.
Important Considerations: Don't submit garbage. An amazing press release tells a story. It is relevant, factual and interesting. PR editors are trained to look for spam: don't spam press release sites! As with all of seo, getting ahead in the search engines is based on providing relevant and quality content to USERS.

The City of Lubbock has reached a settlement agreement in two civil lawsuits involving the tasing and subsequent death of Juan Nunez.
Juan Nunez died after being tased by a Lubbock Police officer in 2006. Autopsy results showed Nunez died as a result of a fall after being tased in a home in the 4400 block of Jarvis. Police say Nunez was drunk and argumentative.
"First and foremost, the City, along with the community, regrets and mourns the loss of Juan Nunez," said Police Chief Dale Holton. "We wish the family well and hope this resolution brings them some measure of closure."
The lawsuits, one in state court and one in federal court, were settled for a total of $49,000. The state lawsuit was heard by the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo, and was pending argument before the Texas Supreme Court. The federal matter was set for trial on May 5 in Federal District Court.
"We were prepared for trial and confident of a favorable outcome," said City Attorney Anita Burgess. "However, after consultation with our insurance carrier which has settlement authority under the terms of our policy, this matter was resolved.
"I, too, join Chief Holton in regrets to the family for their loss and hope for their healing," said Burgess.
The settlement agreement was signed by the parties yesterday and filed with the court today. There was no admission of liability by either party.

Light Up Your Dog's World: Hi-Brite Dog Leash
After seeing what is possibly the worlds best dog leash the argument of what kind of dog we each want has been raised in our house again. While nothing I write here will convince my husband that a sausage dog is our ideal pet, we both agree on this leash...
This lead is luminous and perfect for walking your 4 legged friend at night. They're made using EL lights which are thin, flexible, cool and energy efficient. There is also a solid reflective strip on the other side and it takes a standard 9 volt battery which lasts for 16 hours. Currently on sale for $33. Have you tried this or would you recommend something similar?
7 Comments
A sausage dog is the ideal pet. My boyfriend heavily protested the purchase (he's more a big dog man), but now I've caught him sneaking the dog treats and them napping on the couch together. Just get the dog, and say he followed me home. They will be best friends in two weeks. :-)
I would consider it. I've had joggers run up on us in the dark and once one of them stepped on my small black pug. Maybe a glowing leash would call their attention to the dog attached to it.
There's a woman who walks around my city with her lil dog & as the evenings get darker in the fall thay both don matching reflective vests. The pooch also wears a flashing pendant that can be seen from space. This is much cooler.
I like the idea, but the handle just doesn't look very comfortable. We have a clip-on flashing LED lamp for our American Bulldog's collar that works quite well.
No matter what you decide, make sure you do LOTS of research on the breed, exercise/attention requirements and common health problems.
A sausage dog (we call 'em wiener dogs) is great in a small space. And it's the ideal small dog for big dog people, because they think they are big and invincible. (One of ours stole a ball from a pit bull and wouldn't give it back.) Dachshunds may not be good neighbors in spaces with thin walls, as their bark is very loud. But they are delightful and humorous love sponges!
Although I like the fluorescent aspect of the leash, that handle would get old in a hurry, and it's not clear that it's flexible enough to comfortably short-leash while walking city streets. Simple leather or nylon leashes with a loop handle at the top are best.
hey button, thanks for the link. . .I have a black lab, and at night she gets lost in the dark. . .even I have trouble seeing her, and I'm looking for her--I've checked local pet stores for flashing/blinking tags but haven't found any--thanks!!
I have a Basset who pulls like a freight train. No way would I trust him with that handle. We use dollar store glow stick bracelets around their collars.
