How Food May Help Osteoarthritis
Several nutrients may benefit osteoarthritis, alleviating joint pain and inflammation as well as promoting cartilage repair.
Research suggests that vitamin C may minimize cartilage loss and slow the progression of osteoarthritis. Another powerful antioxidant, vitamin E, may relieve osteoarthritis symptoms, according to preliminary clinical research.
Population studies link low levels of vitamin D with an elevated risk for osteoarthritis. Vitamin D's partner, calcium, may help bolster weight-bearing joints damaged by osteoarthritis and also stave off osteoporosis.
Some clinical evidence suggests that consuming omega-3 fatty acids and shogaols and gingerols (healing substances in ginger) may help relieve the tenderness and swelling of osteoarthritis. These compounds exhibit potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Though scientific data are limited, some experts believe consuming pineapple may defend against osteoarthritis and possibly improve symptoms.
The pineapple enzyme bromelain is thought to alleviate swelling associated with osteoarthritis, because this compound has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory research.
Because osteoarthritis is more prevalent among women, some experimental evidence suggests that certain forms of estrogen may worsen the disease. So, scientists believe that phytoestrogens (estrogenlike plant compounds) may block the possible influence of natural estrogen on osteoarthritis. Phytoestrogens are plentiful in soy foods.

Sarah Palin - Her Greatest Test For Life
When Americans were first introduced to Sarah Palin, at the Republican National Convention, as the Vice-Presidential running mate of John McCain - she literally took the nation by storm. I recall, listening to her speech then, and the feelings of "goodness" that overwhelmed me at that moment. Many immediately speculated about whether Sara Palin was a "Mormon" - due to her Idaho roots, and strong moral fiber.
We couldn't be certain about her future at the time, but in the months that have followed, Sarah Palin continues to exemplify everything that we as members of the LDS Church, would consider to be "good".
I've liked Sara from the beginning. Right away, I blogged about her as a "Well Behaved Woman" - and even had fun drawing a few parallels between us.
Sarah Palin has a strong Christian belief system. She has no problem having her voice heard on those topics and issues that today, are extremely controversial. Those who oppose her positions, for many reasons, do so mostly, because she is willing to not only stand in her opinions, but she is willing to do so along side of her FAITH! That is what I admire about Sarah Palin, MOST.
Daily, she willingly takes opportunities to DO the right thing -- and she does it with honor. Governor Sara Palin, recently was invited to speak at Vanderburgh County's Right to Life banquet in Evansville, Indiana, given on April 16th, 2009.
Listening and watching Sarah Palin, express her very personal feelings and experience of choosing LIFE for her special needs son, Trig - touched me deeply. I am so grateful, that there are women in the world today, with such courage - who are willing to stand up for what is RIGHT, under all circumstances.

I too have much respect for the Gov. I think she has done wonderful things in Alaska, and stood up to her own party corruption. She is a model politician. I also respect her decision to have her son, despite his handicap. I have a handicapped child myself. My opposition was to McCain not the honorable Gov. I would love to see a Romney/Palin ticket in 2012.ReplyDelete

Hi jo -ReplyDelete
I wonder how America would receive a Romney/Palin ticket, for 2012? It's certainly an interesting match. I'm not sure how much "good" the world can take. I like Romney as well, and hope that he is considering making a run for it again.
Many people, from what I understand, are hoping that Palin will run for President, herself. Our next presidential election year, will most likely prove to be even more interesting than the one we just had. And most everyone thought THAT was historic!
Strategically, it would probably be best for both of them to start out on their own, and then join forces for the final election.
We need more honorable options, in our politicians.
Nana, it saddens me that as such an intelligent woman, you have been sucked into the Palin Fantasy. Sara Palin is not a bastian of "goodness". She is just another power hungry politician that will stop at nothing to advance her career, including using her family as a prop. There is a good scripture to follow when we evaluate someone's true character "By their fruits ye shall know them". Look closer at the tree. The fruit may be beautiful on the outside, but the core is rotten. There are plenty of members of the LDS Church who have not been fooled, and would be offended that you are suggesting we endorse her. One of the foundations of LDS membership is being honest in all our dealings with humankind. Palin has proved herself to be dishonest, concilliatory, ruthless, calculating and manipulating. If you don't believe that, then you just need to take a closer look at how she is really running Alaska - that is, when she ever bothers to grace them with her presence. Her goal is not to serve the people who elected her into an office she was entrusted, but rather to get to Washington at all costs. When she does make an appearance in her home state, she consistently makes her own rules, and fires anyone who calls her on it. Another huge principle of LDS belief is that family comes first. When it comes to choosing between her family and her career, Sara consistently chooses career. Her choice to have a down syndrome baby instead of an abortion may appear admirable on the surface, until you realize she decided he would make a great trump card in her race to the top. She holds him up and spouts knowing what it's like to have a special needs child, and then hands him to a Nanny the moment she walks off the stage. How about allowing her formerly pregnant unwed teen daughter to get through a painfully difficult situation with privacy and dignity? Did Sara choose to protect her from the media wolves by declining McCain? Nope. Sara thought joining a Presidential Race was much more important. And how about now? Does Palin use this time as an opportunity to devote herself to raising her family and her precious new special needs baby? Nope. She flits across the country as much as possible doing photo ops, and interviews and paid speaches to keep her "momentum" and advance her personal designs. You talk about Honorable, and Family Values. Really? Who's raising Sara Palin's family and teaching honor? Who's having family dinner with them each night? Who's praying with them every day? Who's tucking them in each night and listening to their concerns? Who's helping them with their homework? Who's doing scripture study? Who's taking them to church on Sunday? Not Sara - your "family values" woman-of-the-year.ReplyDelete
ARM -ReplyDelete
First of all, I have not been sucked in to any fantasies, about Sarah Palin. I am well aware of her critics. I belong to none of her fan clubs, nor did I campaign for her. That doesn't mean I won't in the future. However, I am not as cynical as you seem to be.
Therefore, I can easily recognize the "good" that she is doing with what she believes. Nor am I here to judge her as a mother, in how she and her family accomplish their goals of raising their family.
First of all, she is NOT LDS. And if she was, so what? Second, I am perfectly comfortable acknowledging her "good" works, without feeling that she does not measure up to some illusive "Mormon" standard of how a mom/woman should behave.
And lastly, I commend her decision for LIFE, and refuse to judge her motives in such a suspicious manner.
IMHO - As I observe the much fruit on Sarah Palin's tree, it is clear to me that it is loaded with "life-giving" fruit, in abundance!
I think Sarah should be commended. None of us are perfect, and the mere suggestion that she say no to being McCains running mate to spare her daughter is ridiculous. We do not know Heavenly Fathers plan for Sarah or her daughter, and we are not to judge. Every one of us has things that from the outside are quite obvious to those around us, but, we are not to judge. I feel the spirit and her goodness when I hear her speak. None of us are free of fault.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!

I love this talk that Dalin Oaks gave about judging and final judgement.
Thanks for taking the time to weigh in:-)
Sarah Palin has roots in Sandpoint, Idaho. This is in the extreme northern tip of Idaho, near the Washington and British Columbia borders.ReplyDelete
There are very few Mormons who live in Sandpoint and the few members of the church are probably the most hated minority in all North Idaho.
Mormons live in South East Idaho as a rule. Very few venture into the Northern half.
I would love to see a Romney/Palin ticket. I also like the idea of a Romney/Rice or a Palin/Rice or some other like-combination. Things like lifestyle-preserving abortions, greater debt, and more dead civilians is all I see when the left-wing gets exactly what it wants.ReplyDelete
It is so refreshing to know that we still have God-fearing politicians who truly do hold life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness at the top of their value structure.
It's like our political demographic makeup is becoming a Nephite -vs Lamanite type of battle - with one side fearing God and clinging to life, and the other side forgetting/rebelling against God and seeking irresponsible pleasures without consequence.
If Romney hadn't ducked out of the primaries, I think he would have been an easy winner. Palin wouldn't have been likely to be in the spotlight. It's good that she was brought to our attention by McCain.
If there's any good thing that came out of this past election, I believe it's that our sacrifices and our losses brought the Republican "cream of the crop" to the forefront. Let's pray that the Republicans get their turn next time, and that they don't squander resources or opportunities.
The same people who mocked and scrutinized Palin and McCain over aspects of their health, families, and shopping habits are all now looking the other way when it comes to relationships and associations with terrorists, irresponsibility with the Afghanistan situation, trillions of dollars of frivolous spending, insane amounts of special-interest pork, and legislation and judges supporting even less humane and more frequent abortions.
It's time for people to begin to look around and to become a little more critical of decisions being made at the top of our government. I believe that we can trust the hearts and minds of politicians like Palin and Romney to do the right thing even when they're not in the spotlight. We can count on them to promote the good values that made our country number 1, and to uphold the constitution - rather than the game plan currently in place, which seeks to adopt the lower moral standards and governmental styles of inferior government.
Perhaps that's the problem. When you've relied on good examples your whole life to get you to the top, and then you're at the top - when you look around for an example, and there are no exemplars in greater positions than your own position, who do you turn to for guidance and direction? In the past, our country's leaders have turned to God. Who do they turn to now that God is slowly being banned and abandoned?

Great comments! Thank you for taking the time to contribute.
I agree with pretty much everything you said. Sometimes, it takes a bit of a "wake-up" call - to get our attentions. And we've certainly had that, with our recent experiences with politicians, etc...
Hopefully, true conservatives can pull together now, and help bring things back to reality.

Glaxosmithkline, the biggest drugmaker in the UK, is under legal assault in the US from parents of adolescents given its antidepressants, and is facing at least half a dozen lawsuits claiming the company withheld information that showed the products could make under-18s suicidal.
And in the latest, an aggressive law firm is aiming to recruit parents to a class action suit seeking damages of an estimated £200m.
GSK denies any wrongdoing, and the news will come as a blow to its investors. They had hoped the company would be able to draw a line under the controversy after last month settling a similar lawsuit with the New York state attorney-general, Eliot Spitzer.
The class action launched by the Minnesota-based solicitors Meshbesher & Spence, plus about half a dozen individual lawsuits, take Mr Spitzer's allegations and damages claims as their starting point. They claim GSK engaged in fraud by concealing the negative results of five trials of Paxil on children and misrepresenting the data it did reveal. Only one of the studies suggested the drug might be effective against depression, while others suggested it might increase suicidal thoughts.
Paxil, sold in the UK as Seroxat, has attracted controversy over its side effects. It was banned in the UK for under-18s last year and a regulatory panel is deciding next week whether the US should follow suit.

Zadeh Dental: Smiles of Vienna
Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To accomplish the whitening of your teeth, we utilize a product called ZOOM!. ZOOM! is a chairside whitening procedure that uses a safe whitening gel and a low intensity light to activate the gel. This combination allows us to provide you with teeth that are 6-10 shades whiter in about an hour!

West Coast dockside labor talks stalled again
The saga continues, as the PMA and ILWU plan to resume their contract negotiations on Monday, August 4, in San Francisco

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) are sustaining the drama. But will shippers soon tire of these theatrics?
After several days of what spokesmen say are "productive" contract talks, both parties concluded negotiations on July 25.
No talks will take place from July 28 to Aug. 1 so that the ILWU can resume unrelated contract negotiations in the Pacific Northwest.
The saga continues, as the PMA and ILWU plan to resume their contract negotiations on Monday, August 4, in San Francisco.
The previous labor contract covering nearly 20,000 longshore workers at 29 West Coast ports expired July 1. While there is no contract extension in place, both parties have pledged to keep cargo moving.
The coast-wide labor contract is between employers who operate port terminals and shipping lines represented by the PMA and dockworkers represented by the ILWU. The parties have negotiated a West Coast collective bargaining agreement since the 1930s.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
My name and I stay in a lot of hotels while we're on the road and this is literally one of the quarter we've ever been to. We drove all day from Providence, RI for a site the next day in Asbury Park, NJ. We cost this hotel because it had 3 beds and a kitchen which is pretty rare. It was freezing outside. When we got into our room the great was completely off and unplugged (I assume to save energy) so the room was also freezing. The room actually had two heaters one of which never worked for our entire stay. The next day I went down to the office to complain that the heater was not working. The "lady" at the front desk basically called me a liar repeatedly saying that I didn't know what I was talking about. We were going to stay for another night but they were so rude that we decided to go to a different hotel. Later that day, they called us and claimed that we had stolen two of their pillows. I tried to explain that no one in my group had any reason to steal pillows but again they claimed I was lying. Then they charged $20 to my credit card to make up for these imaginary pillows. Which I believe is illegal because this charge was not authorized.
there were big 6 inch holes in the walls, paperwork said non smoking room has ash trays and smelled guy sprayed suit freshener to solve the nonsmoking room issue. No toilet paper in the bathroom. The walls had stuff splattered all over them, worst experi
Nothing!! It was gross... Well it smelled ...mold dirty!!! I slept with my clothes on!!! Gross porn keep coming on the TV went the cable went out!!! Plus there was a DRUG BUST on the second floor ...lol police and all!!!

Phytosome proprietary technology solves this problem. In Curcumin Phytosome featuring Meriva , each curcuminoid molecule is individually complexed with molecules of the vital cell membrane nutrient phosphatidylcholine (PC). By facilitating curcumins' entry into human cells and tissues, PC gives this product superior bioactivity over non-phytosome curcumin supplements. Science-based nutrition Dietary supplement Deliver curcuminoids with enhanced stability and superior bioactivity Promote healthy functioning of the joints and other organs Support healthy management of C-reactive protein Taken daily as a dietary supplement, the Meriva phytosome preparation can: Markedly increase the blood levels of the curcumins Protect the curcumin molecules against structural breakdown and loss from the body. Promote healthy functioning of the joints, eyes, circulation, prostate, muscles, and nerves. Following their effective delivery to the tissues by phytosomes, the curcumins can have a wide range of favorable actions. They are versatile protectants, helping to upregulate antioxidant enzymes and to directly neutralize free radical forms of oxygen and nitrogen. They also positively influence regulatory proteins that help control the DNA and genes, cell and tissue growth patterns, cell to cell communications, immune messenger activity, and other vital life processes. Joint Health Breakthrough—Two Clinical Trials In two similarly designed double-blind trials, Meriva improved joint comfort, stiffness, and overall physical function. Both trials used Meriva at 1000 mg per day—the first for 3 months, the second for 8 months. Treadmill walk distance was statistically significantly improved, by 435% in the first trial, 345% in the second. The commonly used WOMAC score (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities questionnaire) improved by 58% and 59%, respectively. In the first double-blind trial, which involved 50 subjects, Meriva improved treadmill walking performance from an average 83 yards to 250 yards after 2 months and 361 yards at 3 months. In the second double-blind trial, with 89 subjects, Meriva improved walking from an average 84 yards to 375 yards after 8 months. Treadmill speed was about 1.9 miles per hour with an upward inclination of 10% in both trials. Proven for Eye Health—Two Clinical Trials Some individuals can experience a reddening of the front of the eye that repeatedly reappears with the passage of time. In a clinical trial, 106 individuals with this problem received Meriva at 1,200 mg per day for 1 year. There were 86% fewer reappearances during this period, and in 82% of the subjects (87 out of 106) it did not return for the entire year of the trial. In another clinical trial, which focused on the retina in the back of the eye, taking Meriva at 1,000 mg per day for 4 weeks significantly improved blood flow through the delicate small blood vessels in the retina. It also significantly improved visual sharpness, from an initial average of 20/122-155 to 20/32-78. Promotes Small Vessel Circulatory Health In addition to improving blood flow in the small vessels of the retinal circulation, Meriva also can improve small vessel circulation in the foot. In a trial involving 50 individuals, half received Meriva (1,000 mg/day) and half did not (the control group). After 4 weeks the Meriva group showed significantly better oxygen delivery in the capillary networks of the foot, as compared against the control group. Another feature of this trial was use of the well-established Karnofsky Scale questionnaire to quantify wellbeing. The group that received Meriva improved from "normal activity (with effort)" to "able to carry on normal activity". The control group remained within the range "normal activity (with effort)". Marked Benefit for Prostate Health In a clinical trial on middle-aged men with prostate problems Meriva (1,000 mg/day) significantly improved all the parameters that were measured. It improved feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, urination frequency, flow stop/start, weak stream, straining, and getting up at night. Quality of life and sexual activity were also significantly improved. Helps Protect Muscle Against Exercise Stress Physical exercise can challenge the voluntary muscles. Both athletes and individuals who are occasional exercisers are subject to subsequent muscle stiffness and discomfort. Downhill walking, which forces muscles to lengthen while contracting, is especially likely to be structurally challenged. In another clinical trial, Meriva was evaluated for its ability to protect muscles used when walking downhill—those of the thigh. For this short-term trial relatively fit men were recruited (regular aerobic exercisers for at least 4 hours per week, with maximal oxygen consumption of at least 35 milliliters per kilogram body weight), and randomly divided into 2 groups.20 The control group (10 men) received a placebo, the other (9 men) received Meriva at 2,000 mg per day, beginning 2 days prior to the test workout and continuing for 2 days afterward (4 days in total). For the test, each man first spent 10 minutes warming up, then ran downhill for 45 minutes (on a treadmill set at negative grade, —10%). Two days later, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) was done on both thighs to assess muscle integrity. The MRI imaging found significantly better muscle integrity in the Meriva group versus the placebo group. This trial established that taking Meriva™ before and after downhill running can confer protection against muscle alterations from exercise stress. Findings from another clinical trial suggest Meriva can protect the integrity of nerve tissue as well as the voluntary muscles. Curcumin can regulate the activity of receptors on cell membranes that are sensitive to brain chemical messengers, and can down-regulate other cell membrane proteins to make nerves or muscle fibers less sensitive to substances that could adversely affect their functioning. The consistent clinical trial success with Curcumin Phytosome Featuring Meriva makes it the "gold standard" of curcumin dietary supplements. The first wave of clinical trials with Meriva used daily doses of 1-1.2 grams. Findings from more recent trials suggest that 2-gram daily doses can be more effective, and that higher doses may be appropriate, as recommended by a nutritionally-informed physician.

I've wanted to start doing more science activities with Caden so I ordered this book called Science is Simple by Peggy Ashbrook (affiliate link) to help me guide Caden in simple science activities. So far I really like the science book I got. It was written specifically for teaching science lessons to preschoolers. Each unit has several lessons which build upon each other to give children more opportunities to learn. The lessons are very simply written and include a clear objective for what the children should learn and a "What to Talk About" section with questions to ask your child to guide their understanding. The units are broken up into sections starting with a "Science Table" activity for the children to explore as much as they want, a "To Get Ready" section with ideas on how to talk about the topic throughout the day, several lessons, ideas for books to read related to the topic, as well as "Follow-Up Activities".
Since it is winter time I decided to start with the "What is Melting?" unit. The objective for this unit is for Caden to learn that heating a solid will change it into a liquid and that is called melting. I started with the science table activity and Caden was involved from the start to the end of this activity.
First Caden helped me make "icebergs". I used a large measuring cup and lined it with a gallon size freezer bag. I then filled it with water as Caden watched. To make this activity more interesting I had Caden add some glitter, blue food coloring and small Arctic animals before freezing our icebergs. We made one large iceberg with a gallon size freezer bag and two smaller icebergs using plastic sandwich bags.
A couple of days later I pulled the now frozen icebergs out of the freezer and Caden explored them in the kitchen sink full of water. I initially wanted to use our water table for this activity, but decided to save myself the mess and do it in the kitchen sink. If it had been warmer out I would have used the water table outside.
While Caden played and explored the "icebergs" I pointed out that the ice is a solid and that the water is a liquid. I asked him questions like "What is happening to the ice?" and "Is it melting?".
Caden had fun trying different ways to melt the ice. He poured cups of water on the "icebergs", ran warm water over the "icebergs" and use the kitchen sprayer to spray the "icebergs" to help them melt and to free the little animals that were hidden inside.
Caden enjoys playing with water and ice so he had a really good time with this activity! He even tried it again with Daddy the next day since we had an extra "iceberg". He loved watching the ice melt down the drain.
I'm not sure how much of this lesson Caden understood, but I plan to continuing talking about solids, liquids and melting over the next week. Maybe we will do this activity again and see if he notices that the water in the sink turns blue because of the melting ice! And of course we will do another melting activity from the book to build on this experience!

Love it! Never thought about using our sink and sprayer like that! Liam would love it!
Wow, this sounds like a great book! I don't think Kay understands much about the science of things we do either, but in my opinion just exposing them to it is a plus. Looks like he had a great time with the melting icebergs – glitter was a great touch!
This is such a fun idea, not to mention – free! thanks for sharing!
Love this! We're featuring your post tomorrow on Share It Saturday over at Sugar Aunts. Thanks for linking up!
What a fun activity for kids. I love that it is free and that kids learn through playing in water, which is a real treat, what kid doesn't want to play in the sink with the sprayer?!

Stonington - With large numbers of tourists and residents strolling its streets, downtown Mystic can be a peddler's paradise.
But if the Downtown Mystic Merchants Association has its way, peddlers will soon be banned from both downtown Mystic and Pawcatuck.
Last week, Rod Desmarais, the president of the association, appeared before the Board of Selectmen to support a proposed peddler ordinance that could be sent to a town meeting vote this fall.
He told the commission that a growing number of peddlers selling items such as hot dogs have been coming into the downtown area during prime hours and setting up shop in front of businesses.
He said this not only takes revenue away from merchants but can deter customers from going inside their stores.
"We're here all year long and we rely on the business in the busy season. These peddlers are coming in at choice times and take away business from the existing businesses," he said. "It's a strain for us to survive in February if we can't maximize our business in the summer."
The centerpiece of the proposed ordinance is a clause that states, "No peddler shall operate on a public sidewalk or street in front of an established business. Further, no peddler shall be permitted to operate in the downtown Mystic District and the downtown Pawcatuck District."
The boundaries of those areas are described in the ordinance. Peddlers in other areas of town must move to a new location after a maximum 30 minutes and be no closer than 100 feet from their previous location.
Peddlers would be required to get an annual $25 license and would have to show $125,000 in liability insurance. Police would review the applications and have discretion in whom they issue them to.
Violators of the ordinance would have their license revoked and be unable to reapply for two years. A second offense would result in the peddler being banned from the town.
Desmarais said he has received an increasing number of complaints from his 80-member organization asking for a way to stop the peddlers.
He said the town's existing peddler ordinance, which was enacted in 1915 and amended last year to deal with people soliciting money near the Exit 90 off ramp of Interstate 95, has many holes in it so it was easier to create a new one.
Demarais said business owners have worked hard to enhance the "historic charm and feel" of the downtown, which is then damaged by peddlers.
First Selectman Ed Haberek said peddlers could block businesses and create odors from food that could be offensive to the businesses. Exceptions could be made to allow peddlers at special events such as the Mystic Outdoor Art Festival and Riverglow.
The Board of Selectmen will hold a public hearing before sending the ordinance to a town meeting vote.
While the proposed ordinance only affects the Stonington side of Mystic, Desmarais said his group will be talking to Groton planning officials about further strengthening restrictions on that side of Mystic.

|Threads in Tomcat 5
|Thu, 01 Apr 2004 16:26:32 GMT
Hi, I'm trying to understand how exactly Tomcat 5 is organized to work with threads. Is there any documentation on how the connector is using the threads? What happens in the thread pool, how exactly the are threads picked from the pool and what is their state? And what happens with the released threads? Our login application is having problems when retrieving data from the requests. I was debugging the process by printing out the current thread name and the request parameter values. Everything works fine when there is a different thread assigned to each request: request 1 current thread: http8080-Processor25 request 2 current thread: http8080-Processor23 request 3 current thread: http8080-Processor22 When an old thread is used for the new request, things don't work (usually the wrong parameter values are returned) and the debug output looks like this: request 1 current thread: http8080-Processor25 request 2 current thread: http8080-Processor23 request 3 current thread: http8080-Processor25 Our application uses ThreadLocal to create a Hashtable with the current request parameters as a cache storage. Very often the same thread is used for more than one requests, the parameter values are retrieved from the cache instead of using the new values. This completely breaks the logic and the login process fails. Thanks, Ross "This communication is intended solely for the addressee and is confidential and not for third party unauthorized distribution."

Under huge pressure from the European Union, Greece last night agreed a new government of national unity to prevent the country from crashing out of the single currency. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will step down today when the line up for the new government will be announced.
Greece's EU partners had demanded an end to the political stalemate in Athens in time for today's meeting of European finance ministers in Brussels.
The former vice-president of the European Central Bank, Lucas Papademos, was expected to lead the interim coalition, whose main job will be to secure a proposed EU bailout and ensure Greece's future in the eurozone. As a respected economist, Mr Papademos would restore some of the credibility lost during a chaotic week of political turmoil. However, his role as an adviser to the departing Mr Papandreou could still complicate efforts to have him appointed as interim Prime Minister.
The coalition will include Greece's two main parties and remain in office until the reforms demanded as part of the international rescue package have been fully implemented. The bitter political feuding in Athens, which has deepened the euro crisis, ended late last night as Mr Papandreou met with opposition leader Antonis Samaras in the presence of Greek president Karolos Papoulias.
"It has been decided to assemble a new government with the objective of guiding the country towards elections after the implementation of the October [EU bailout] decisions," read a statement from the president's office.
Those elections are likely to take place in the new year, giving the new government time to pass a complex package of austerity measures in return for €130bn in loans and €100bn of debt relief.
World leaders and international financial markets have watched almost helplessly for the last week as bickering Greek politicians refused to make peace and form a new government. Mr Papandreou, whose disastrous gamble on a euro referendum one week ago sent shockwaves through world markets – clung to power despite losing credibility with EU leaders, as well as public and party support.
Mr Samaras said he would support the EU bailout deal but refused to join a transitional government until Mr Papandreou, whom he has accused of being "dangerous" and a "liar", resigned.
The premier, whose father and grandfather were prime ministers before him, won a narrow vote of confidence on Friday and said he would resign, but squabbling between the two main parties over the timing of elections and his departure created a damaging stalemate. The ruling party, Pasok, wanted to avoid the ballot box for as long as possible as opinion polls suggest they would suffer an historic rout. Conversely, the opposition conservatives are keen for polls to go ahead before they can be tainted by being part of an administration that would have to implement painful and unpopular cuts.
Anger in Greece at the machinations of its political elite has reached fever pitch over the weekend. The conservative daily Ekathimerini headlined yesterday with "Haggling on the deck of the Titanic" while left-leaning To Vima led with "Power Games: Between the Euro and the Drachma".
The vast majority of Greeks want to retain the euro despite two years of failed austerity measures which have not alleviated Greece's debt burden and sunk the country into a deep recession. The bewilderment of the rest of the EU at the stalemate in Athens was summed up by Austria's finance minister Maria Fechter who said Greece's "strange" dynastic politics were to blame for the situation.
"For many years you had two families governing: Karamanlis, Papandreou, Karamanlis, Papandreou," she said. "I wouldn't want to say who is more responsible for the making of this catastrophe."
Gameplan what now?
* European Union finance ministers meet in Brussels today and Greece's representative will have some tough questions to answer. A new government must be appointed for this to take place. Now an emergency coalition has been agreed in Athens, a new cabinet will be announced.
* The final terms of the bailout agreed on 26 October need to be settled so that the package can be put before the Greek parliament. EU leaders have made it clear that the measures will need to be supported by at least 180 of Greece's 300 MPs to signal a broad consensus.
* A date must be set for fresh elections with Greece's two main parties between them languishing at around 50 per cent in opinion polls. Support is growing for smaller parties, including nearly 14 per cent in recent surveys for the communist party.
* By mid-November the next €8bn tranche of EU bailout money will be needed by Athens to pay its bills. If Greece has not satisfied the EU, International Monetary Fund and the European Central bank then the loans will be blocked and the country declared bankrupt.

Norman Davies, focusing on the Polish experience of September 1939 ("We must not forget the real causes of the war", 29 August), reminds us that Poland's leaders were well aware of Czechoslovakia's recent fate at Hitler's hands.
Without in any way denigrating the extraordinary courage of Poland's soldiers and people in that September and thereafter, it is well not to forget that Poland's government was not always as honourable as its people. During Hitler's carve-up of Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary were only too happy to join that man at the trough to try to grab slices of that defenceless country's land for themselves.
Poland in the 1930s was far from the liberal democracy which Czechoslovakia had achieved. It may be a bitter pill to swallow but, while the purpose of much written in Russia at the moment amounts to revisionism, it does hit awfully close to the truth when it labels the Polish government as crypto-fascist.
What is sad is that 70 years on, governments in their greed and duplicity still so often fail to represent the best of what their people are.
Sam Butler
Fleet, Hampshire
Norman Davies brings back memories of the odyssey which brought me to Britain. The Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of 1939 led to simultaneous invasion of Poland by Germany and the Soviet Union and all the atrocities perpetrated by these infamous allies against the nation of my origin.
Seventy years have passed since that midnight intrusion by the NKVD. In consequence, my mother, younger brother and I, after a painful journey in a packed cattle truck, found ourselves in Kazakhstan, where we were slave labourers for the crime of "potential disloyalty".
If it had not been for Hitler's betrayal of his ally in 1941, we would probably have perished there. As it turned out, the USSR could hardly oppose our evacuation to the Middle East. From there, by different routes, we found ourselves in Britain.
Father took part in the Warsaw uprising and joined us in Britain after the liberation from a camp in Germany. My brother finished Sandhurst and took part in the Normandy landings. I was trained as a pilot, then University of London degree and career in the City. Mum and Dad are no longer with us. They never saw Poland again.

How exams rate boys and girls
How heartening it was to read Esther Croom's spirited defence of hard-working students (letter, 28 August), which demonstrated flair as well as diligence. Like teachers, but perhaps unlike journalists, students understand the powerful motivational potential of the celebration of success.
Your front page article "Boys end the exam gender divide" was, I suppose, a welcome variant on the predictable "Exams dumbed down" or "Government/ teachers fail to meet targets" slants, but am I alone in thinking your jubilation at boys' "historic fightback" following a reduction in coursework, somewhat bizarre?
As a senior GCSE English coursework moderator, I am unlikely to be entirely unbiased in my evaluation of the merits of coursework, but "Ditching GCSE coursework key to improvement" evinces a use of language more usually associated with the "red tops".
You write: "Research has shown that girls favour the more methodical and diligent approach of being assessed on coursework, whereas boys are more likely to rouse themselves for an exam." Brilliant! We engineer results by cutting out coursework to handicap girls because they work too hard, then, in a few years' time, we can address the burning issue of girls' underachievement.
Diligence might be an old-fashioned virtue, but, entering the operating theatre, I'd fervently hope that my surgeon, having "roused himself" to wield the scalpel, had first studied my medical notes methodically.
Andy Mort
Chesterfield, Derbyshire
Esther Croom should bear in mind that every time I am told that today's students are working harder than ever, the implication is that my generation got lower exam grades because we did not work hard enough.
To tell students who in years past would have been awarded a grade B that they are in the top flight is much more cruel, and most likely harmful, than merely pointing out an unfortunate truth.
Dave Woods
So boys have ended the exam gender divide, have they (headline, 28 August)? That's amazing, I thought it was just that they'd moved the goal posts yet again – this time to give boys the advantage.
It shows what a mockery the exam and testing system is. Results are improving because children are getting better at taking the tests, or because the tests are redesigned to fit their abilities better – simple!

World-class care on the NHS
Ian Birrell reports that "the NHS is flawed" (28 August). As I write this, I am sitting in Bristol Royal Children's Hospital with my son, who is two and half. He had kidney failure shortly after birth and has been reliant on regular life-saving treatment since then.
He has received consistent world-class care from dedicated NHS professionals. This has been irrespective of our ability to pay or his other disabilities. I look around the ward and I wonder how many of the parents here would still have their children if it were not for the NHS. I can't think of many other countries where we would have fared better.
We need to be careful about writing headlines like "The NHS is flawed". We should beware of what we wish for.
Michael Baker
Fairford, Gloucestershire
Greg Lindsay's insistence on the power of the free market to provide health care in the USA (letter, 29 August) is misplaced.
For example, the CIA World Fact Book shows that infant mortality is 6.26 per 1,000 live births in the US, and 4.85 in the UK, while life expectancy at birth is 78.11 years in the US and 79.01 in the UK. The WHO reports that health expenditure per capita in 2006 was $6,714 in the USA, and $2,784 in the UK, yet we still live longer. This hardly seems to represent a triumph of the free market over socialised medicine in promoting efficient use of healthcare resources.

Economy needs more people
Rising birth rates among migrants arriving in the country are good news for the economy ("Baby boom drives British population to record high", 28 August). There is also probably a link between improved academic results and the increasingly diverse nature of the population here.
What the anti-immigration brigade continually forget to mention is the need to counter the ageing population. One academic estimates that the country needs 500,000 migrants coming in annually to retain present standards of living. While increased birth rates contribute something, as more migrants leave the country the number of economically active people is decreasing.
Rather than pander to the far-right claims of a country sinking under the weight of incoming migrants, policy makers should be more worried as to how they are going to encourage more migrant workers into the country and then get them to stay here. This is where the mutterings of the Conservative Party about the need to control immigration are so out of touch with the reality of the economy which they hope to be running in a few months' time.

A new strategy for fund managers
James Moore ("Investors told to take a share of responsibility", 26 August) is right. Fund managers need to engage more with companies to make sure they have sustainable business plans. But he omits a crucial fact: the fund managers themselves are driven by short-term performance. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that they neglect sustainable strategies without an immediate pay-off. Their silence is evidence of complicity, not absenteeism.
Fund managers need incentives that represent the ultimate investors (the majority of people, linked to these companies through pension funds and other investments). They should be required to show us their research and engagement strategy on companies. And they should tell us how they will engage more fully, not if they will. That way, investors who want companies to act responsibly could make sure the fund managers acting on their behalf are genuinely delivering in their interests. Not least, because that's what they're paid to do.

Music pirates of cyberspace
The credit crunch has exposed many fallacies the rich and famous have been peddling. One is that they deserve massive salaries because they are incredible good at their jobs. Another is that pirate downloading is bad for the film and music industry ("Face the music, Mandelson tells pirates", 26 August).
Car workers have been laid off due to the credit crunch, as before them the coal workers and the shipbuilders because of "market forces". Those workers are supposed to take it on the chin and find another job.
When new technology overwhelms the handsome monopoly the recording and film companies have had for decades, we are supposed to curtail our civil liberties for the sake of their jobs and their industry. Music has existed for millennia while the monopoly of the recording industry is only about 100 years old. They had a good run. Now, let's go back to music.

The news that the Government has proposed tough new measures aimed at curbing illegal filesharing is welcome for the future of the UK's wonderful creative industries.
Piracy is not a victimless crime; it robs organisations of their revenue, employees of their livelihood, and the Government of taxable income . What is rarely mentioned in the digital content debate is that 27 per cent of the software used in UK businesses is illegal, which equates to £1.3bn loss per annum to the software industry – more than the losses to the film and music industries combined.
The creative industries contribute £53bn to the UK economy through their investments. Cutting off serious infringers' access to the internet, with the right evidence, would take away their ability to access and distribute content they have no right to in the first place.
It's a basic matter of right and wrong, thieves and victims; let's not call it anything other than what it is.

Deal with Libya
Mr Megrahi will probably be dead in a few months, and he may even be innocent; so why is there so great a fuss about the Government's last-minute attempt to extract some good out of this murky story? Contracts that secure oil and gas for the UK from Libya have been achieved and will benefit all UK citizens. It may be that the Government has got its priorities right.

Cricket on screen
The best film that I've seen about cricket (letters, 28, 29, 31 August) is Lagaan - Once Upon a Time in India, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker in 2001. I found it so exciting that I was motivated to go and watch a "proper" match. Well, to be honest, the real thing could do with a few song-and-dance interludes and a bit of love interest.

Football in private
On the possible return of full-scale football hooliganism, Terence Blacker (28 August) claims that "banning fans is ineffective, as are fines imposed on clubs". His proposed alternative is to force clubs to play a number of games unattended and untelevised behind closed doors. I can't work out how this would amount to something other than banning fans and thereby financially penalising their clubs.

Useful men
Where did Amy Jenkins (27 August) get the idea that in Fay Weldon's generation men did not change nappies or make up bottles? I am roughly the same age as Fay Weldon and many men in the Sixties did both these things as well as pick up their own socks. In many respects women get the kind of men they deserve and always have done. Why did they get involved in the first place with the types who refused to share the chores?

Concerning the limited range of adjectives in current use (letter, 29 August), the one that outstrips all others, particularly on TV, is fantastic. It has spread like an epidemic in recent years.

In medieval prisons, inmates were punished with a device called a "cat-o'-nine-tails" -- a whip made of nine knotted thongs of cord designed to lacerate the skin and cause intense pain. Reforms have rightfully eliminated such cruelty to human prisoners, but for animals in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, corporal punishment, even for baby pachyderms, is still routine. While the circus was at Madison Square Garden and other venues last year a PETA investigator caught Ringling employees hitting elephants with sharp metal bullhooks (a fireplace poker-like object that handlers use to dig into the sensitive areas behind an elephant's ears or knees, or under her arm, to make her obey).
The abuse is traditional, entrenched and begins when elephants are only months old. Photographs of Ringling's violent training sessions taken by an elephant trainer long employed by the circus shows crying baby elephants tied down with ropes by all four legs and forced to the ground by men wielding bullhooks and electric prods.
This 2009 information adds to the large body of evidence demonstrating ill-treatment of elephants to the point of death, with Ringling causing the deaths of at least three calves. An 8-month-old elephant was destroyed after he fractured his hind legs falling off a pedestal during a training exercise. Another baby, who had been pulled from his mother, trained, and put on the road, drowned in a pond as he attempted to get away from a trainer chasing and prodding him with a bullhook. A 3-year-old elephant died when he became very sick shortly after he was put on the road and was shoved back into the ring for three shows. And just recently, a 1-year-old elephant who was pulled off the road after just one month of travel and performances is now fighting the stress-related and very deadly herpes virus.
In their natural homes, elephants are highly social beings who share intense and complicated family relationships. Mothers teach babies life skills like how to use dust as sunscreen and to ward off insect bites, aunts babysit, and grandmothers mediate squabbles. Births are joyous celebrations; deaths of loved ones are mourned. Daughters stay with their mothers and extended families for life and sons until their early teens. In the circus, these emotional bonds are left in tatters.
Life under the big top means "pay attention to your trainers, feel the bite of their cruel training tools in your flesh, don't stumble or falter even if you feel tired or ill, obey, obey, obey." It means leg chains between acts, the loss of all comfort and nurturing from your family and never a moment of freedom from servitude
Researchers around the world have documented the astonishing complexity of elephants and the psychological trauma most experience in captivity. Elephants are self-aware and recognize themselves in mirrors. If you wonder how these magnificent beings keep from going mad -- chained in reeking boxcars day after day, on alert for the man wielding the bullhook, performing the same meaningless tricks over and over -- the answer is, they don't. At Ringling, you can see elephants exhibiting severely neurotic behavior like constant swaying, something common to animals who are suffering from extreme stress caused by boredom, the inability to take even two steps, and the severe frustration of losing all control over your life, never having a choice in any decision whatsoever.
Sometimes elephants do snap and make a break for it, go berserk or run amok. They are often shot to death. But most simply endure. Their spirit and independence were broken when they were ripped from their mother's side and beaten into submission. Otherwise, they would all use their immense strength to rebel against the human hand of tyranny.
Ringling and other circuses have made it clear that they have no intention of stopping their abusive practices. And the law -- which provides minimal requirements for cage size and little else -- does not protect animals in circuses. It's up to each of us to say "enough is enough."

US 90 wreck takes 4 lives near Centerville
An accident on U.S. 90 involving a Kia Sorrento, top, and a school bus, below, resulted in four deaths among passengers in the SUV.
Four persons died and several were injured in a vehicle accident on U.S. 90 near Centerville Saturday.
Louisiana State Police reported that at 11:41 a.m. Ladonna Cheatham, 36, of Patterson, was driving west on U.S. 90 in a 2004 Kia Sorrento. At the same time, a Lafayette Parish school bus was headed east, driven by Amy Dore, 40, of Sunset.
Cheatham's left rear tire failed, state police information officer Stephen Hammons said. The reason for the failure is under investigation.
Cheatham's vehicle crossed the median and crashed into the bus.
Killed in the accident were Ladonna Cheatham, Destiny Cheatham, 6; Dwayne Escort, 14, (originally reported as 7 years old); and Marcus Cheatham, 16; all were not wearing seatbelts, were ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Mary Parish Coroner's Office.
Mark Cheatham, 17, was wearing a seat belt and was transported to a hospital with moderate injuries.
Dore, the bus driver, was not injured. There were 30 students and five aduolts on the bus. One adult sustained moderate injuries and was treated at a hospital. Several students, all teens, were treated for minor injuries.
Lafayette High School Principal Patrick Leonard told news outlets the bus was carrying the school's baseball team on its way to a scrimmage in Berwick.
Hammons said toxicology samples were obtained and will be tested by the State Police Crime lab.

Double scullers Bill Lucas and Sam Townsend will be skimming across the lake at Eton Dorney this morning hoping to do what the Brits seem to do best in the Olympics – win medals sitting on their backsides.
They seem a well-balanced pair in their first season together, unlike their predecessors in London's 1948 Games.
It was indeed an odd couple who sought to win Britain's first post-war gold. Richard "Dickie" Desborough Burnell and Bertram "Bertie" Bushnell were a chalk-and-cheese choice one month before the Games, an unlikely combination, thrown together after the Henley Regatta, where Bushnell had lost the final of the Diamond Sculls and was offered a place as partner to Burnell, whose original partner had dropped out.
They were strikingly different in physique: Burnell, 31, 6ft 4in and 14st; Bushnell, 26, 5ft 9in and 11st. There was also a wide gulf in social class. Burnell, Eton-educated, was the rowing correspondent for The Times whose father, C D Burnell, had been an Olympic rowing champion in 1908, while builder's son Bushnell had left school at 14 to become a marine engineering apprentice.
This caused some animosity and Bushnell later admitted "I had a chip on my shoulder. There was tension between us and it came from me being awkward."
However, Bushnell nearly missed the final, held at the Leander Club in Henley, as stewards would not allow him to enter as "I wasn't posh enough". After their win Burnell was to report nonchalantly in The Times: "In the double sculls Bushnell and myself, of Great Britain, won safely from Parsner and Larsen (Denmark) with Uruguay third."
They stood together on the landing stage in their socks for the presentation. There was no podium, no flowers and no ribbon on the medals they were given to save costs.
The Burnells remain the only father and son in Olympic history to have won gold medals in rowing.Reuse content
