While the U.S. Olympic Committee continued to make progress in its revenue sharing discussions with the International Olympic Committee in meetings Thursday and Friday, the lack of a resolution reduced the already small chances of a U.S. bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
The IOC deadline for 2020 bids is Sept. 1.
After this week's meetings in New York, in which some undisclosed new ideas were thrown into the mix, both sides agreed to wait until the first week of August for further talks on the issue. That leaves almost no time before the deadline.
"We don't want to submit a bid that is less than world class," USOC chief executive Scott Blackmun said by telephone Friday. "If we rushed, it might not be that. But I never want to say never.''
The U.S. would be much better off bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics, for which Denver, Reno-Tahoe and 2002 host Salt Lake City have expressed preliminary interest. Those bids would not be due until 2013, allowing for a thorough domestic bid process.
"We haven't thought about what a (domestic) 2022 bid process might look like,'' Blackmun said. "If we are far enough along (in resolving the revenue-sharing issue), we will begin thinking about it."
Blackmun has maintained there would not be another U.S. bid for the Olympics until a solution was found for the revenue-sharing issue.
Since 2006, the USOC has been under pressure to take a smaller share of the IOC's global sponsorship revenues and U.S. broadcast rights. Under the current agreements, which are open-ended, the USOC gets 12.75 percent of the U.S. television rights and 20 percent of the global sponsorship.
The issue has became such a flashpoint that it helped undermine the New York bid for the 2012 Olympics and the Chicago bid for 2016.
"I don't know if we are closer to a resolution after this meeting, but some new ideas surfaced," Blackmun said. "There was a lot of optimism that these ideas will help us get to the finish line.
"We both need to do our due diligence to make sure we understand the consequences of the new things we are thing about."
Both sides have agreed not to discuss any of the particulars under consideration.
As the revenue-sharing discussions turned into heated arguments in 2008 and 2009, those who demanded a U.S. share reduction repeatedly cited the "fact" that the U.S. received as much from the global sponsorship and TV revenues as the other 204 national Olympic Committees combined.
The truth is otherwise, as became clear when the IOC released its most recent U.S. tax filing (Form 990).
That showed in 2010 the U.S. received approximately $133 million, the other Olympic committees $204 million.
The USOC theoretically gets the same share (20 percent) of the global sponsorship as the rest of the world, but that number can't be taken at face value because the U.S. has agreed to lower percentages in some product categories.
It's just easier for the rest of the world to cast the issue in a light that makes the U.S. look like a spoiled rich brat than to do the math.

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw Talk Possible Duets Album on 'Good Morning America'
ABC's Robin Roberts caught up with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw this morning on 'Good Morning America' and got the couple to reveal that a collaborative album is something they've been thinking about for quite awhile. However, the superstars stopped short of setting a time frame for such a project.
"It's OK to lower her standards for a song or two, but for a whole record, I'm not sure she wants to do that," McGraw quipped, referring to his wife. Throughout the nearly six-minute long interview, he was paying his wife little compliments in often self-deprecating ways.
Both singers are headed to Australia next month for a tour and family vacation. They'll be taking their daughters with them for the eight show, two week long jaunt overseas. The girls like watching their parents sing, but McGraw admitted they're a lot more interested when it's Mom and Dad working together. They get bored after just two shows when it's just him.
With Valentine's Day coming up, the McGraw and Hill were on 'GMA' to promote their Soul2Soul perfume and cologne set. Roberts begins the interview by suggesting that the scent is a perfect representation of who they are as a couple. "It's all fake," McGraw answered with a wry smile. "We're really married to other people."
For the first time since 2002, both singers will have new music available to fans in the same calendar year. 'Emotional Traffic,' McGraw's final release on Curb Records, was released in January, and Hill has a new album — rumored to be called 'Illusion' — due in stores later this year.

Econet hikes call tariffs to 22 cents per minute
By Staff reporter | 28 Mar 2019 at 20:09hrs
LEADING mobile telecoms operator, Econet Wireless has increased mobile call tariffs to 21 cents (($0.21257) per minute, up from around 16 cents while per-second charges now stand at 0.0036 cents which will come into force on the first of April.
Econet's Media Relations and Analytics Executive, Fungai Mandiveyi told NewZimbabwe.com that Fixed International calls under the group 1 category will be charged 77 cents per minute while mobile phone calls will attract RTGS$1.29 per minute.
Countries in Group 4 will be charged RTGS$1.88 per minute while Group 6 will be the highest attracting RTGS$31.40 per minute.
All billing is still per second.
The announcements directly contradict earlier social media reports that Econet had increased tariffs to $0.038 per second which would add up to an effective charge of $2.28 per minute.
According to confirmed charges, those who opt for per-minute billing will still be charged 22 cents per minute even if the call lasts for 10 seconds.
Recently, Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) acting director, Kennedy Dewera revealed that the authority was overwhelmed by applications that had been submitted by mobile operating companies who were in pursuit of tariff increases.
Market analysts believe that the tariff hiking pressures were triggered by RBZ's recent Monetary Policy Statement which abandoned the 1:1 exchange rate between the US dollar and bond note currency to a more flexible rate as determined by the newly incepted Interbank facility.

A Mixed Bag
Controls 2008 Salary Survey Reveals Some Industry and Economic Shifts. Our Veterans Grow Strong Within the Process Control Industry and Their Job Roles, but Where Are Younger Professionals Going to Come From?
By Katherine Bonfante, digital managing editor, and Jim Montague, executive editor
Some good news now. Some bad news soon. Thats the word from the more than 700 respondents to Controls 2008 Salary Survey, who collectively reported increasing pay for their richest members, flat or declining compensation at most other pay levels and continuing erosion in standard benefits.
Figure 1: Richest get Richer
The respondents to 2008s emailed and online salary survey again reported a big jump among those in the highest salary category compared to the year before (Figure 1). Basically, respondents earning salaries above $100,000 increased to 33.7% in 2008 from 27.9% in 2007, while those in almost every pay range below this decreased slightly. Meanwhile, those receiving bonuses of 6% to 10% or 11% to 15% of their salaries increased about two percentage points each. In addition, while those taking three weeks of vacation increased to 31.8% in 2008 from 27.3% in 2007, those with four weeks of vacation decreased to 26.4% in 2008 from 30.6% in 2007, and those taking more than a month off per year dropped to 26.8% in 2008 from 28% in 2007.
Figure 2: Aging Gracefully
Likewise, slightly fewer of 2008s respondents reported receiving standard benefits than the year before. These small declines occurred in medical, dental and life insurance coverage, 401k, disability, tuition reimbursement, pension plans, profit sharing and company cars. A slight increase was reported by telecommuters.
Consistent Demographics, Few Shifts
The most populous group of respondents remains those from 46 to 55 years old. Last year, they composed 42% of our participants, but in 2008 they made up 43.1%, while their older and younger colleagues decreased slightly. However, respondents 18 to 25 decreased a bit to 1.3% in 2008 from 1.5% in 2007, while those over 55 years decreased to 18.3% in 2008 from 19.6% in 2007, most likely due to retirements (Figure 2).
Figure 4: More Experiences Supervisors
In addition, respondents with 11 to 20 years in process control dipped slightly to 30.5% in 2008 from 31.7% in 2007 and 34.8% in 2006. However, those with 11 to 20 years of supervisory experience in process control increased to 25.9% in 2008 from 22.9% in 2007, while those with more than 30 years of supervisory experience swelled to 12.9% in 2008 from 10.9% in 2007. (Figure 4).
Unfortunately, one group that decreased slightly was women engineers. Last year, 6.4% of our respondents were female, but only 5.5% of 2008s respondents were women. This confirms the trend that women and younger professionals still arent joining the engineering workforce in large numbers or at as fast a pace as in other professions.
When it comes to race, White/Caucasian is still the dominant ethnic group with 86.5% of 2008s participants. Meanwhile, minority groups, such as Blacks, Asians and Hispanics tallied only 2.3%, 5.0% and 3.9%, respectively. However, though most process control engineers and related technical professionals remain overwhelmingly white, male, U.S. residents, who are married with children (Figure 3), there are a few other demographic shifts worth noting. For instance, respondents identifying themselves as married declined again to 84% in 2008 from 85.5% in 2007 and 90.5% in 2006, while those with kids dropped to 84.8% in 2008 from 86.3% in 2007.
Book Smarts, Street Smarts
Though respondents with four-year undergraduate degrees dipped slightly to 51.9% in 2008 from 54.1% in 2007, the most prevalent academic degree remained other, mostly mechanical engineering and chemistry at 37.6% in 2008 compared to 37.1% in 2007. The next most popular areas of study were electrical engineering at 28.6% and chemical engineering at 20.3% in 2008.
Figure 6: Less OT, Hiring; More Promotions
Long hours seem to be the rule in process control engineering. For example, more than 78% of 2008s participants work 41-60 hours per week and 77.2% arent paid overtime.
Likewise, those in the engineering, design and construction job category decreased slightly to 41.9% in 2008 from 45% in 2007, while those in production and plant operations again increased to 27.6% in 2008 from 22% in 2007. Also, the largest single group (19.8%) works in the chemical industry, while food and beverage and oil and gas each attracted a little over 10% of participants.

(ring, ring)
Good morning, this is your career. It's time for you to wake up.
You're in trouble.
You've written a good book, or maybe even a few, but you aren't selling as well as expected.
Your publisher is behind you, but they're spending most of their marketing dollars on books that are selling better than yours. That may seem unfair, but it is the way of the world.
You've done signings, but you've never done well at them.
You've got a website and a blog, but even though you seem to be getting some visitors, it isn't translating into sales.
You've gone to conventions, literary festivals, and conferences, but you've never sold enough books to justify the travel cost.
You're doing all the things you're supposed to be doing, but no one seems to care.
Don't you think it's time to quit?
You're never going to be a huge success. A few good reviews and a few fan letters don't mean a thing. This business is about numbers. And yours aren't nearly good enough. You're small potatoes, and you need to recognize that.
You got into this because you love to write. But now you have to deal with deadlines, bad reviews, and overwhelming apathy toward your work. People may think you're doing well, but they don't know the truth. You spend more time promoting than writing, and it never seems to pay off.
You aren't making enough money to justify all of your time and effort.
Don't feel bad. You gave it your best shot. No one could have asked for more. This is a hard business where only a few thrive. Did you really think you would be one of them?
Look at how many other writers you know. How many of them make a living at it? How many are bestsellers? Five? Maybe ten? Out of the five hundred you've met? Doesn't that tell you something?
Why torture yourself for years to come with dreams that will never be fulfilled? Why force yourself to visit one more bookstore, one more conference, one more event? Aren't you frustrated? Don't you realize that every other author has this same problem? You're all desperate and struggling, no matter how much bravado you show the public.
You'll never make a difference, and you'll never be happy.
Quit now, and save your sanity.
You'll never... hey, wait, don't hang up!
You have to listen to me! I'm the voice of reason! I'm cold, hard logic, telling you that you suck! You need to realize...
We apologize for the preceding announcement. That wake up call was not for you.
You may go back to sleep now.
Dream big.

Mark Mutert builds a '70 Nova without breaking the bank
Mark Mutert was cruising around in his Pro-Touring '68 Camaro when he started to feel that it was time for something new. Soon, the '68 had a new home and Mark was hot on the trail of his next project. It wasn't long before he came across a barn fresh '66 Chevelle that was in great condition. Mark was all ready to start work on the Chevelle when this '70 Nova fell into his lap. After all, how could he pass on the Nova? He had seen it driving around his hometown of Moscow Mills, Missouri, for 13 years and since his very first car was a '72 Nova, he had always had his eye on the local '70. When it came up for sale the notion to buy it was a no-brainer for Mark. The Chevelle was put on the back burner and work began on the tired Nova.
The first thing Mark learned was that the car looked better driving around town than it did up close. As Mark put it, "Obviously the old guy that owned it had a few fender benders. At one time he had wrecked the front end bad enough to need different fenders and hood. I didn't realize this until I started to disassemble the car." The dead giveaway to the swapped parts was that the fenders and hood on the '70 were actually off a '68 model. Luckily, there was no frame damage, but the passenger side quarter-panel needed replacement along with all the front sheet metal, which included the inner fenderwells and the core support. It should be noted that Mark is a do-it-yourself kind of guy and most of the work on the car, including paint and body, was done in his two-car garage. It was also a family project since Mark's brother, Rich, helped with the bodywork, final assembly, and also shot the car in jet black Sikkens paint. Given how straight the body work is now, we can definitely tell that Mark and his brother put in quite a few hours blocking out the vintage Nova.
Mark's main goal for this car was to build an affordable Pro-Touring car that still had a vintage feel to it. Since he still had plans to build up the Chevelle, he needed to keep the Nova a low-buck affair, but at the same time, make the Nova nice enough to be proud of. Mark also knew that all the suspension tricks that worked on his '68 Camaro would work just as well on his '70 Nova. (First-Gen F-body suspension parts are generally interchangeable with '68 to '74 GM X-bodies like the Nova.) With this in mind, he media-blasted the front subframe and did the Guldstrand mod, which lowers the upper control-arm pivot points to improve the camber gain. Helping to stiffen up the chassis is a set of Global West solid body mounts and a pair of Detroit Speed subframe connectors. To keep the budget in line, he stayed away from fancy tubular control arms and spent his cash on 550-lb/in Moog front springs and rear Hotchkis leaf springs with a full set of Bilstein shocks. This combination of parts didn't crush his budget and still gave him a serious boost in handling. To tighten up the steering, Mark dug up an '88 Camaro close-ratio steering box.
Mark knows the value of a great braking system, but with the budget in mind, he had to come up with a low-cost solution. The answer came in the form of '95 'Vette calipers and heavy-duty 13-inch rotors (front) and a rear disc brake set-up from a late LT1 Camaro. To get the front Vette brakes mated to the Nova, Mark ended up fabricating his own caliper brackets. For the rollers, Mark didn't want to skimp since he knew that the wheels make the car. He wanted something that had a fresh look, but still retained a vintage feel. Mark chose Budnik "Gasser" wheels in 18×7 with a 4.75-inch backspacing up front and 18×8 with 5.5-inch backspacing in the rear. The power meets the pavement through Nitto 555 Extremes in 235/40R18 and 275/40R18 respectively. To keep bling to a minimum, the Budnik wheels were ordered with a polished lip, but a satin finish on the center section.
Mark's next big task was to figure out how to make good power without blowing his entire budget. The best bang for his budget dollar seemed to be in the form of a stroked small-block mill. The engine machining was one of the few items farmed out and Allied Motors of St. Charles, Missouri, did a great job stroking out the small-block to end up at 383 inches. Mark then filled the clearanced and balanced block with all the goodies to make for a reliable power plant. Pump gas friendly 9.75:1 compression forged Probe pistons, a Scat cast crank, and Scat I-beam rods make for an affordable and sturdy rotating assembly. To work the valvetrain, Mark installed a 292/292-duration .540/.540-lift 108-lobe separation Clay Smith cam along with a set of Crane roller lifers. The 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves reside inside a set of aluminum RHS heads with 200cc intake and 64cc combustion chambers. Putting the fuel and air into the engine is done by way of an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake along with a matching 750 Edelbrock carb. This mixture is then ignited by the stock points distributor, which was upgraded with a Crane XR1 conversion kit. The last stop for the spent exhaust gasses is a set of Hooker Super Comp 1 7/8-inch headers that feed into a Jeg's 3-inch dual exhaust. When it came to dressing out the motor, Mark didn't want a lot of chrome or polished billet; instead he opted for a vintage road race look. Brushed aluminum and low-gloss black paint work together to give the engine bay a clean and purposeful look. Mark had a '95 LT1 T56 six-speed transmission lying around in his garage, so from a budget perspective he knew this is what the Nova needed. He also had the foresight to use a later model block with the one-piece rear main seal. This meant he was able to use the stock LT1 flywheel and forego dropping big coin on an aftermarket unit.
So what's better than having a brother who is a painter? How about parents who own an upholstery shop? Mark's parents, Allen and Agnes, own Mutert's Auto Upholstery in Wentzville, Missouri, and were put in charge of giving the interior some much-needed love. The front bench seat was tossed aside in favor of some buckets salvaged from a '71 Pontiac Grand Prix. Mark's parents re-stitched the front and back seats in black ultra leather and beefed up the bolsters in the front to lend more lateral support. The headliner and rear package tray got the same treatment, but, to save cash, the door panels were dyed and re-used. The instrument cluster is vintage GM, but a set of Stewart Warner gauges was added to augment the factory idiot lights. The vintage-looking steering wheel is from a '68 Camaro and a Hurst shifter pokes through the trans tunnel. The factory AM radio still lives happily in the dash, but a modern head unit with CD changer is hidden away to give Mark tunes to cruise by. It all works to make for a functional interior that is as easy on the wallet as it is on the eyes.
The fact the Mark built most of the car by himself in his garage is impressive enough. The fact that he got it done in only six months and at a cost of around $18,000 is downright amazing. He owes much of the credit to a very helpful family and his very supportive wife, Erin. We caught Mark and his family at the MSD True Street drag races in Maple Grove, Pennsylvania, where he was ready to send his freshly finished Nova down the 1320. Mechanical problems kept him from making all three runs, but he did knock down a 13.7-second run even with a missed shift and a valvetrain that was acting up. Mark knows that with a bunch more tweaking he can improve on that quite a bit. We were so impressed with Mark's budget-minded Nova that we gave him our MSD True Street Editor's Choice award. PHR asked him what the concept was behind the build and he told us, "My whole idea for the car was to build it with updated features such as brakes, suspension, transmission, et cetera, but keep a retro type theme to it. My version of 'Retro-Touring.' I wanted to keep the bling to a minimum, but not end up with a boring car." From what we've seen of Mark's hot little Nova, you don't have to spend a mint to have a car that looks like a million bucks!

Michelle Obama's speech last night got rave reviews. (If you didn't see it, you can watch it here.) It was a very well written and well-delivered speech, personal and yet political, subtly showing the differences between the Obama worldview and the Romney worldview.
Sadly, they aren't that different in some respects:
Last night at the Democratic convention, Michelle Obama defined "the very best of the American spirit" as "teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay."
That's actually not the best of America. It's desperation. I get what she was saying, but it's a sad comment on our time that (for different reasons) both parties embrace the "spirit" of teachers working for free.
The Republicans talked a lot last week about the US turning into Greece. In this way, we already have. The bankers and the government are going to take it out of the hides of the workers:
Greece's international lenders have suggested measures including increasing the maximum working week to six days.
It is one of several unofficial proposals to liberalise the labour market and increase government revenue, contained in a paper seen by the BBC.
The proposals were not included in the original bailout agreement signed with the Greek government.
Inspectors from the EU, IMF and European Central Bank, known as the troika, are due in Greece this week.
They are writing a report, due in October, that will decide whether Greece receives its next instalment of bailout funds.
Greece needs the next payment of 31.5bn euros ($39.6bn; £24.9bn) to allow it to continue servicing its debts.
Proposals in the document from the troika included:
Setting a single rate statutory minimum wage
Reducing regulatory burdens
Making work schedules more flexible
Setting a minimum daily rest of 11 hours
Eliminating restrictions on the minimum and maximum time between morning and afternoon shifts.
The best of the human spirit is not being forced to work yourself into an early grave, whether it's here or in Greece. There was too much extolling of the American worker's willingness to work more hours for less pay in various speeches last night. As long as 1%ers like Mitt and Ann Romney are spending millions for dressage horses that's just not acceptable.

I'm delighted to introduce you to Olivia Newport, wife, mother and now author who can't wait to share her stories with you! Olivia's debut historical romance , The Pursuit of Lucy Banning, releases in May from Revell with her second novel, Accidentally Amish, hitting shelves in October from Barbour.
Be sure to LIKE Olivia's Facebook page to stay up to date on these intriguing stories.
Here's the lowdown on The Pursuit of Lucy Banning!
Lucy Banning may live on the exclusive Prairie Avenue among Chicago's rich and famous, but her heart lies elsewhere. Expected to marry an up-and-coming banker, the son of family friends, Lucy fears she will be forced to abandon what matters to her most—her work at the orphanage and the classes she is secretly taking at the newly opened University of Chicago.
When she meets Will Edwards, an unconventional young architect working on plans for the 1893 World's Fair, Lucy imagines a life lived on her own terms. A new young maid brings her own secret to the Banning household, and Lucy must choose between deeply held values.
Can Lucy find love and live out of her compassionate heart?

Olivia has provided one of her favourite excerpts, especially for my readers ~ enjoy!
"Leo, might that be overly duplicitous?" Lucy's pulse beat faster at the thought.
"You could ask Mother to go with you," Leo teased.
"Don't you dare," Lucy snapped.
"Or Daniel." Leo's green eyes lit.
"Daniel has a wonderful eye for art," Lucy said, surprising even herself.
"He just doesn't find it practical," Leo said. "He won't go without protest. You'll never get out of the house on your own in the evening. If you genuinely want to look at these paintings, you're better off with Will."
"That's all true. However, a chaperone would be safer than your shenanigans," Lucy said. "Perhaps Aunt Violet?"
"Yes, possibly, if you feel you must have a chaperone. But Will is quite keen to go, you know."
"Do I get a vote in these arrangements?" Will asked.
Leo grinned and raised an eyebrow.
Will turned to Lucy. "Miss Banning, my friend has asked me to escort his sister and it would be my pleasure to do so. May I call for you at seven on Monday evening? We will of course enjoy the company of your aunt."
And check out Olivia's first Valley of Choice story, Accidentally Amish, an Amish story with a twist!
Annie Friesen, a software creator, needs to protect her intellectual property from her scheming partner. After escaping the hustle and bustle of Colorado Springs, she runs straight into the hospitality of an Amish family in San Luis Valley. When, after a little digging, Annie discovers her own ancestral connection to the plain people, her worlds collide. It appears she'll have to stay awhile, especially when she finds herself attracted to Rufus Beiler.
A cabinetmaker by trade, Rufus is having troubles of his own. Because of a competitor's false accusations, his business is in jeopardy. And so is his family when his sister, Ruth, leaves the Amish community.
Now Annie, an outsider, begins meddling in affairs that don't concern her. When Rufus tells her she can't continue to hide among the Amish and it's time for her to go home, Annie is torn. What will she choose—loneliness and the high-tech modern culture of Colorado Springs, or Rufus and the simplicity of the San Luis Valley Amish?

Bloody stools often are a sign or a problem in the digestive tract. Blood in the stool may come from anywhere along your digestive tract from your mouth to your anus.
Stools - bloody; Hematochezia; Melena; Stools - black or tarry
Heavy or rapid bleeding in the upper GI tract can cause bright red stools.
Eating black licorice, lead, iron pills, bismuth medicines like Pepto-Bismol, or blueberries can also cause black stools. Beets and tomatoes can sometimes make stools appear reddish. In these cases, your doctor can test the stool with a chemical to rule out the presence of blood.
Bleeding in the esophagus or stomach (such as with peptic ulcer disease) can also cause you to vomit blood.
Bleeding that takes place in the esophagus, stomach, or the first part of the small intestine most often causes the stool to appear black or tarry. Your doctor may use the term "melena."
Bleeding in the upper part of the GI tract will usually cause black stools due to:
Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood often mean that the blood is coming from the small or large bowel, rectum, or anus. The term "hematochezia" is used to describe this finding.
Call your doctor right away if you notice blood or changes in the color of your stool. You should be examined by your doctor, even if you think that hemorrhoids are causing the blood in your stool.
In children, a small amount of blood in the stool is usually not serious. The most common cause is constipation. You should still tell your child's doctor if you notice this problem.
Your doctor will take a medical history and perform a physical exam that focuses on your abdomen and rectum.
You may be asked the following questions:
You may need to have one or more tests to look for the cause:
Jensen DM. Gastrointestinal hemorrhage and occult gastrointestinal bleeding. In: Goldman L, Schfer AI, eds. Cecil Medicine. 24th ed. Philadelphia, Pa: Saunders Elsevier; 2001:chap137.

Alexander was thinking of things to do so that he didn?t have to move. He thought of hiding from his parents in Mr. Pickles? old barrel or in the tree house. At the end of the story, he doesn?t have a bad time moving. He has a smile on his face.
When we read this book we were in a good mood because funny things happen like when gum got in Alexander?s hair, his room is all messy, and he makes funny faces. We don?t like the part in the story when Alexander?s brothers bother him, because they wouldn?t like it if Alexander did it to them. We like the drawings because they are drawn in pencil, and because we don?t know how to draw like that. We didn?t like the colors because they are black and white. I, Clarence, wonder why Alexander had a bad time moving since I moved last year and I didn?t have a bad time. If you don?t like moving and you are eight or nine years old, you should read this book.

A grudging award for the quote of the day to Peggy Noonan, speaking of Barack Obama:
It is one thing to think you're Lebron. It[']s another thing to keep missing the basket and losing games and still think you're Lebron.
I am not a fan of Ms. Noonan. I last wrote about her in "Season of the witch." I should add that someone with a higher pain threshold than I could do a good piece on Noonan then and now, a subject for another day.

Brief Synopsis
A mathematics genius fights schizophrenia.
In 1947, mathematics graduate students at Princeton University are reminded that mathematics built the atomic bomb and won the war, and now needs brave, publishable advances. Entering student John Forbes Nash, Jr. takes the admonition to heart and immediately alienates his competitive classmates, Martin Hansen, Ainsely, Bender and Richard Sol, by declaring that they have yet to produce any innovative ideas. Throughout the term, John sequesters himself with his studies, often scribbling formulae on his dorm window. One day, John's personable British roommate, Charles Herman, convinces him to take a break, and John admits that work is all he has in life. Weeks later, after John spends forty-eight hours straight in the library tracing the algorithms of pigeons and footballers on the windows, Charles encourages him to visit the local bar. There the other students challenge John to approach a blonde co-ed, but she responds to his disconcertingly direct proposition by slapping him. Soon after, Professor Helinger warns John that his lack of progress and refusal to attend classes are jeopardizing his future placement, and points out a professor in the faculty room receiving pens from fellow teachers, an honor bestowed for "the achievement of a lifetime." John's dismay is tempered only after Charles throws his desk out the window, and they both break down in laughter. Later at the bar, while analyzing the most expedient way to win over a blonde, John formulates an idea that leads to a breakthrough paper on game theory, and Helinger awards him a position at the Wheeler Laboratories at "MIT," the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There, Bender and Sol work as his assistants while John gains fame as one of the most promising scientists of his time. In 1953, Pentagon officials call on John to break a Russian code, and his brilliance attracts the attention of government agent William Parcher. Later, John reluctantly teaches a class at MIT, where student Alicia Larde impresses him with her resolve and intelligence. Parcher then visits John's office and reveals a vast secret workforce defending America against Russian-held bombs. After implanting an identifying radium diode in John's arm, Parcher engages him to scan American publications for embedded codes. Soon after, Alicia asks the shy professor on a date, and he brings her to a governor's ball, where he charms her by showing her how to trace shapes against the stars. Over the next few weeks, he leaves envelopes of deciphered codes in a secret drop box for Parcher and dates Alicia, who responds favorably to his direct approach. John grows nervous about his secret work, seeing men in the shadows, but is cheered when one day Charles visits with his new charge, his orphaned niece Marcee. That night at dinner, John asks Alicia for empirical evidence of love, which she says takes the same kind of faith as does believing that the universe is infinite. They marry, and at the wedding, John spots Parcher watching from a parked car. One day in 1954, John drops off a package, and this time Parcher speeds up, commanding him to get into the car. They are chased by Russians, whom Parcher eventually kills, leaving John shaking in terror. He later tells Parcher that the work is too dangerous, especially as Alicia is now pregnant, but Parcher threatens that if he quits he will be killed, and John grows increasingly paranoid. At a conference, John is pleased to see Charles attending, but during his speech, he sees men in black suits and flees in panic, then is trapped outside and drugged. He awakens in a psychiatric hospital run by Dr. Rosen, but John believes the psychiatrist is a Russian interrogator and that Charles has turned him in. Rosen reveals to Alicia that John suffers from schizophrenia, a hallucinatory mental disorder, and that neither Charles, Marcee nor Parcher and his whole department exist. Uncertain, Alicia insists on gaining entry to John's office, and is shocked to find it in chaos, with scribbled-on magazine pages tacked to every surface. Following a tip from Sol, she finds the drop site and discovers dozens of John's envelopes sitting untouched in a mailbox. When she tries to inform John of his delusions, however, he turns away, afraid that she is part of the conspiracy against him. After John tears his arm apart looking for the implant, Rosen prescribes an intensive regimen of insulin shock therapy. A year later, the Nashes move to Princeton, where John's medication reduces his ability to reason, care for their son or have sex. Alicia grows depressed and frustrated, and in response, John stops taking his pills. Soon Parcher reappears, urging John to continue his work in the barn, and when one day Alicia discovers the barn walls covered with paper, she realizes that John is sick again and barely saves the baby from drowning in the bath John is drawing for him. When she calls Rosen, Parcher, Charles and Marcee command John to stop her, and after he pushes her down, Alicia runs away in fear. A stricken John races out to Alicia's car, but when she stops, he tells her that he has realized that Marcee never ages, and thus cannot be real. Although Rosen later advises them that schizophrenia is degenerative, John and Alicia agree to work together to find a solution not reliant upon medication. Hoping that a familiar community will help him chase away his delusions, he returns to Princeton, where Martin now heads the math department, and awkwardly asks his former rival to allow him access to the campus resources. Martin agrees, even after some minor stress causes John to have a breakdown outside the library, during which Parcher reviles him for his cowardice. Over the years, John continues to work and manages to ignore Parcher, Charles and Marcee, who nonetheless always remain nearby. Although most of the students ridicule John, one day in 1978, student Terry Kellum approaches him with a theory, and soon after, Alicia is proud to see John surrounded by students in the library. Martin agrees to allow him to lecture, and by 1994 he is a popular teacher. In March, Thomas King visits to inform John that he is being considered for the Nobel Prize in economics. King, who is there to ensure that John is competent enough to receive the award, insists on eating in the faculty room, and John reluctantly agrees. There John is shocked and pleased as, one-by-one, the other professors place pens at his table in honor of his achievements. In Stockholm, Sweden, John accepts the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics, and in his speech states he has discovered that "only the mysterious equations of love hold logic." After crediting Alicia with his accomplishments, John escorts her home, with his demons accompanying them.

Kids Health
Kids' Health is our health portal filled with information about kids and teens that's free of "doctor speak."
Kids' Health is the most-visited site on the Web for information about health, behavior, and development from before birth through the teen years. One of the things that makes Kids' Health special is that it's really three sites in one: with sections for parents, for kids, and for teens.
