Now I'm Not Calling Mark Holland A Liar.....
"Mark Holland, who lost to former ambassador and Tory star candidate Chris Alexander by just more than 3,000 votes, says there were so many calls inundating the Ajax-Pickering, Ont., riding he does not believe the cost could have been covered by the local Conservative campaign, and that many or most of them must have come from outside the riding."
In fact there were misleading and harrassing phone calls, with the caller identifying themselves as calling from the Conservatives. In fact, Alexander's office received angry complaints from Conservative supporters who were threatening to not vote if they continued to receive several calls a day from the party. The problem is it wasn't the party making the calls. Next:
"Mr. Holland cited other voting irregularities, which his campaign noted to local Elections Canada polling officials along with the inexplicable phone barrage, that included members of the riding's growing Afghan community turning up to vote, but finding their names had already been counted as having cast ballots.
"The riding was bombarded with calls, and in every conceivable language. It certainly struck us that the cost of being able to have that many calls and do it in that many languages was well in excess of whatever a campaign limit would allow," Mr. Holland said."
Actually, in regards to this allegation, my opinion, and it's just that, my opinion, Holland is full of shit. I can't think of any other way to put nicely. Holland's electoral success before the 2011 election rested on his campaign targeting the ethnic vote. Anyone who knows the riding is well aware of the time Holland spent targeting the Westney/Rossland/Salem corridor in Ajax, and the Major Oaks/Brock corridor in Pickering. The Conservative campaign focused on the vote south of Kingston Road, in the older part of Ajax. Come to think of it, Holland appears to be the first to allege robocalls in languages other than english or french. For that reason alone this ridculous allegation should be thrown on the trash heap.
I don't have enough time nor space here to list all the things the Conservative candidates have been the victims of in the riding of Ajax-Pickering, suffice to say that complaints have been made to EC, and some alleged wrondoing or contravention of rules by the Liberal campaigns.
In regards to the robocall allegations, Holland's biggest problem is he's late to the table. To further prove my point, this is an email exchange between journalist Stephen Maher and myself.
"Sir, I read your post with interest. Can you tell me: When you got the call? Did it identify as Elections Canada? What the number or area code was? Stephen MaherNational political columnist, Postmedia News. (contact info not included from email)
My reply: "Hi Stephen. I received the call on my home phone. It was quite awhile ago but I think it was on the day before the vote. No idea what the caller id number was as it was such a long time ago. If I remember correctly it stated it was Elections Canada, and was a male voice in english followed by I assume the same info in french by a female voice. Both voices sounded to be prerecorded. I do remember it wasn't a local area code though, which here is 905. And no name included with the call display. It said my polling location was at a school in the Westney, Rossland area. There were legitimate polling locations in that area, but it's the farthest one can go in Ajax from my house. I just assumed it was an error on someones part. If you have any more questions drop me an email. I'll be happy to do whatever I can. Thanks. Paul
It's important to note my reply was sent to Maher March 3. And now, March 15th Holland comes out with this tripe? In fact reports in the media weeks ago made note of the fact there were no allegations of robocalls in the riding. At the time, Holland remained silent, and now weeks later, states it's the reason he lost the election. There are a number of reasons Holland was defeated. Arrogance, gun registry, poor leadership by Ignatieff, a party polling in the low 20% range. One needs only look at the trend in voting in the riding, starting in the 2004 election forward. What you see is a consistent trendline with Liberal support slipping and Conservative support rising. In fact in the 2008 election Holland's margin of victory decreased, despite the Conservative candidate being named late, having no campaign office for the first two weeks of the campaign, etc.
So if the failed former MP wants to go down this road, I really have to ask. Are you really that pathetic Mr. Holland?
p.s. Holland lost by 3,000 votes. Today Elections Canada stated the actual number of complaints filed is 700. A number of them were legitimate complaints for the riding of Guelph. Regardless, even if one were to assume all 700 complaints arose from the riding of Ajax-Pickering, you still would have been kicked to the curb. Do the math dumb-ass.

Considering all the dirty tricks Holland pulled while an mp, from marching stolen files thru the streets to his outrageous comments in the HofC. Liberals still have not accepted they were defeated by larger numbers in the last 3 elections. And considering that it was liberals who called those un-necessary elections, the voters turned on them big time. Didn't Paul Martin call one when he had a majority with a couple of years left in his mandate. And didn't the coalition get together to charge contempt to force an election. Actions have results, just not what they wanted. And does anyone believe that the coalition was positive another minority would be elected so they could put their coup in place with Layton as PM. NDPQ in for a big shock in 2015, they will not form the govt by legal means.

That's right Mary. They wanted an election, forced one on Canadians, and still won't accpet the results.

To answer the question you posed,"are you really that pathetic Mark?"..I would respond with a resounding YES he is! This guy gave me the creeps every time I saw him on tv.A blowhard of Olympic proportions.

There was a concerted effort by the Canadian firearms community to dump poor skid mark. The project was called 'Turf Mark Holland'. We sent Chris Alexander about $10,000 in small donations. As you can well imagine, his sniveling has received the contempt it deserves on the gun people's sites.

Mark H is the Liberal version of P Martin.
Both blowhard jerks.
M is far more whiny and entitled while P is a foul mouthed A$$.
Separated at birth is my guess.

Paulstuff... when he does do his whining about the firearms community.. its referred to as the 'well funded gun lobby'. Even though it only exists in his mind.. essentially, he spit in the face of 2 million plus Canadians, and suffered the consequences.. the funny thing is, the community isn't going to stop at him.. next up... we'll let you know.
- March 15, 2012 at 5:50:00 PM PDT
Compare the two candidates..Mark Holland never met a mic he didn't like. He said a lot of BS in the HOC but didn't have the same guts outside of the house. He was a soft on crime Liberal who liked the criminal and thumbed his nose at victims. A teenager who never grew up. The gun registry brought him down plus his ugly mouth. He was Liberals Pat Martin. Iggy even asked Alexander to join the Liberals he was so impressive and Alexander turned him down. People still have the visions of this smart a$$ Holland on the streets with Marlene Jennings, another failed candidate, running for a mic after snooping through private Conservatives papers. He's a sneak and I wouldn't put anything past him.Alexander is a decent person and well qualified for the election which he won. Liberano soar grapes.

You may not want to call Mark Holland a liar, but how about sore loser, whining crybaby, sniveling little twit, egomaniac, and fool.

Check out this story...Ken Drydens riding...the real estate agent said he didn't see anyone show up at the fake poll the Liberals said the call sent them to...last sentence. Bogus shenanigans to me
Eduardo Harari, a volunteer on Ken Dryden's Liberal campaign in York Centre, has told Elections Canada that he received eight bilingual fake Elections Canada robocalls telling him his polling station had moved: the first on April 21, the last on May 2, election day.
"It just said that due to the large amount of people that have been voting at my current location, my voting location had been changed, to 3500 Dufferin, unit 101," he said.
Harari reported the calls to Elections Canada during the election, and then again after the story broke, after which he was interviewed by Elections Canada investigator Tim Charbonneau.
Charbonneau has also interviewed Peggy Walsh Craig, who recently told the Toronto Star that she received a similar fake Elections Canada robocall in the northern Ontario riding of Nipissing-Timiskaming. Both Harari and Craig say they received voter-identification calls earlier in the campaign, purportedly from the Conservative Party, and told them they would not be voting Conservative.
There is no evidence in either riding that the apparent effort to confuse voters was successful. A spokesman for a real estate agency at the address where Harari was directed to vote said Wednesday that they couldn't recall any voters showing up there on election day.

Average number of complaints to EC during any federal election: 400 to 500.
With almost 1,000,000 more ballots cast, the 2011 election has, to date, approx. 700 similar complaints.
Do the math – draw your own conclusions. Figures from EC reports to date.
- March 16, 2012 at 1:35:00 AM PDT
It's a shame that mark is not running this riding. You people are all pathetic. Chris is the worst thing that could have happened to us. He's the real liar. "I'm 100% opposed to the Pickering airport". Had he not lied about that during the election, he wouldn't be in office right now.

Allowing talent to select their days of week, times of day and shift activity would mean higher satisfaction, reduced absenteeism and increased customer satisfaction.
Qualifying talent by assigning proficiency levels would help obtain confirmation for a retailer that candidates possess the requirements for a role / activity.
When retailers access digital and mobile platforms to communicate with employees and candidates, a new opportunity for more effective training and learning is created.
It's a market economy. Scaling wages to pay more for the most important times of day, days of week and activities only makes sense for willing, qualified and interested employees.
Digitally enabled real-time customer and manager feedback means that coaching and recognition are continuous. Star-ratings would allow management to set the value of certain skills, and identify employees who could potentially benefit from training to seek to enhance value.
Top talent can be shared across a retailer's brands. Increased flexibility for workers also means improved nimbleness for retailers to better manage their SG&A line.
Alternative labor models sound futuristic but they have field tested their value in a range of industries and environments. Most people know about Uber's model – drivers using their own vehicles to provide transportation services during hours they control with pay rates reflective of demand.
What gets overlooked is that TaskRabbit launched the same type of demand-driven approach almost a decade ago: a broad pool of 'taskers' specifies their skill range and bids to perform tasks, the difficulty or uniqueness of which helps set their wage. And, although we don't see them, air traffic controllers have used a bid system for years, one which factors in seniority and differential pay to help verify coverage on less desirable shifts and allows for shift swaps among bidders. All these arrangements match demand and supply in ways that would work for both the principle organization and the individuals doing the work for them.

On the one hand, the injury to Jets defenseman Tobias Enstrom means that somebody else is going to get a load of ice time.
On the other hand, it means Claude Noel is pooched.
It's not like Noel doesn't have other defensemen. Fact is, he has six of them at his disposal tonight. However, when his Winnipeg Jets skate out onto the ice at Nassau County Coliseum to face the New York Islanders, he won't have the guy who is playing more than 25 minutes a game.
Enstrom is to Noel what Bobby Orr was to Harry Sinden, Tom Johnson and Don Cherry. Sure, Toby Enstrom ain't no Bobby Orr, but when you add up his ice time after a game, you might think he is. For instance, in the Jets season-opener against Montreal, Enstrom played 25 minutes and 23 seconds. A full 7:38 came on the power play with another 1:56 on the penalty kill. In the shootout loss to the Leafs on Oct. 19, he played 31 minutes and five seconds with 5:24 on the power play and 3:03 on the penalty-killing unit.
We could waste your afternoon and look at all the other games, but you get the point. Tobias Enstrom is 13th in ice time in the NHL this year. Less than a week ago, he was fifth. However, when he was injured on Monday night in Sunrise, Fla., he'd played only 15 minutes — of 36 minutes in the game. He was actually on pace for another 30-plus minute outing thanks to overtime.
But with Enstrom out of the lineup, along with Mark Stuart, Ron Hainsey and Derek Meech, Noel has some stress. The head coach of the Jets needs to find a replacement for the player he trusts more than any other before his team faces a 3-4-2 Islanders club in their own barn (and that place really IS a "barn") tonight. He needs a gifted skater who is responsible in his own zone, has a decent shot, great puck-handling skills and sees all of the ice. He needs a guy who plays bigger than he is (Enstrom is only 5-foot-10, 180 pounds), can kill penalties AND play on the power play and has the ability to settle down a defensive unit that can panic without notice (see: Johnny Oduya).
Too bad his AHL call-ups, Brett Festerling and Mark Flood, don't have the skills to fill the hole. Too bad Dustin Byfuglien is the best power forward in the NHL playing on the point. To bad Oduya or Randy Jones aren't good enough. In fairness, Zach Bogosian might be and we might find out how good — or not so good — he is tonight.
Regardless, when the Jets face the Islanders tonight, Noel needs one of the following elements to turn into his best defenseman: A power forward disguised as a defensemen, a skilled 21-year-old, a guy with a great agent (I wonder if Oduya's agent could get me $4 million to turn over the puck?) and three AHL-level reaguards. Noel needs one of those guys to step up and play exactly like the most trusted player in a Jets uniform.
Ahh, well, it could happen.
Then again, Noel could just close his eyes, hope the Islanders go out and play like the Islanders and maybe Big Buff will stop pretending to be a defenseman and actually turn into Serge Savard.
Granted, Serge Savard ain't Bobby Orr, either, but he'd do in a pinch.

Hi this is NetBSD install tutorial for first time NetBSD installers. The first thing we should do to start on installing NetBSD is insert the disk into the Cd Rom drive and Shutdown you computer and wait a few seconds a turn it back on, or you are able to insert the disk while logged into your OS then reboot/restart you computer.
Then at this point you should think of what media you will be installing such as:
File system
Local directory
These are your media choices.
When you start your install the first question that comes up is which type of the 2 types of geometries you would like to install:
Real geometry
Bios geometry
The one I chose is real geometry. Because it is the real geometry of the hard disk.
I have heard that if you chose Bios geometry it may remap the disk using LBE or LBA. I can not exactly remember I am almost positive it is LBA no it is LBA I am sure of it.
Next, if NetBSD is installed on a hard disk with an other OS you will need to install a Boot Manager. This should allow you to make a boot loader if you are running winNT is on the hard disk.
The space requirements are pretty low. They are 420MB hard disk and for the swap partition 32MB
Ok now to start if you have bootable Cd rom you will not need to create an installation floppy which is very easy there is a step by step directions on screen as you do this part of the install.
Now restart your system one more time and we are ready!
Make sure install/boot floppy is in if needed.
Ok ready?
First once you are booted in you will be at a main menu that will say
NetBSD-(depends on version for the numbers that go here) install system
a. Install NetBSD
b. Upgrade
c. Re-install or install add. Sets
d. Reboot/restart comp.
e. Utility men
x: Exit install
At this point you will choose letter A.
Now it will come to ask you to partition you C: drive? Chose yes unless you have a C drive for This Net BSD itself.
Now it should tell you how many hard drives it finds. If there is more than 1 you will have to choose which 1 you would like to install on it.
It should be called (wd0) or (wd1)
At this point you would shoes which one to install on and then chose the ok button.
Next it will ask if this is the right geometry and you should select yes unless you are very smart and are ready to set it by self or hand.
Now you will have to choose which partition scheme you would like to use? They should be using all disk or part. This you will choose your own self depending on what disk you are installing on and, if you are using all or part?
Next it will ask for the size of partition if you are doing 1. At this point you should choose MB. Cylinders or sectors I think.
I chose MB.
Now it will ask you if you would like to edit any partition by a screen of choices coming up it is in ABC order I am not sure exactly what they say though. But it is very easy of all common sense.
After this process it will ask you to set the size and activate partition. This also, is in an ABC selection which is very easy and up to you. I myself used 5GB on my C: drive.
If you are also going to overwrite a partition to do this there is a selection letter for this also and it is only a one click and it is done so this part id very easy and letter selection to no commands needed right now.
Now to configure the boot loader you can select the partitions which are in an ABC form you just scroll to and hit enter on them and they appear on the boot loader. Then you scroll down and click on the letter that says activate boot loader.
After all the very easy parts you are now at a menu that says:
a. standard
b. standard with x
c. custom
For very first time users and installers I suggest choosing a or b.
Now a menu pops up that asks you if?
Partitions ok?
a. change partitions
b. partitions ok
If you are sure chose B. To double check chose A.
Now if you change a partition it is in step by step form I have never had to do that so I am not sure what the menu is there. But I do no it is step by step easy to do so you will be well ok there.
Now the hard part is done all partitions!
Take a few breaths lol and hug you comp lol
Here we go.
Now we have to choose the install type. Now you will chose full install unless you no how to do the custom install which will take you to all distribution sets and weather or not you want to use them it is pretty easy you just chose yes or no. And if you want to you can toggle all the inclusion parts which may be boring. And I suggest not doing unless you are familiar with this install and what you are doing.
But after you chose full install it will take you to the install media menu which looks like this if I can remember exactly:
a. ftp
b. nfs
c. cdrom
d. floppy
e. un mounted fs
f. local dir
g. none
Now to install the Cd rom a menu will appear:
A. device
B. directory
C. continue
First here you will chose option B. And then at the menu that appears you will type (cd0)
Now for hardest part of this whole thing you will need to take a deep breath for this one.
You are at the end of the install. And a sysint message appears saying everything went well. OK for this last part you are going to have to hit the letter A because you are done it is created the letter A is for creating the device files. By selecting A they are all created.
There you go you are done!!!
CONGRATS lol I said this was the hard part lol have fun with your NetBSD!
Alls you have to do is choose a ROOT pass and there you go.
And after selecting that letter A it will take you back to the main menu and you will have to reboot you comp.
There you go, it is all done not to bad is it?

I would NOT recommend their Kydex backplate. Like everyone, I was interested for the weight savings but when I called to order it the sales guy tried to discourage me from buying it. I insisted, and when it arrived it came with a sticker warning me to avoid prolonged sun exposure! What kind of backplate softens or melts in the sun?
If you travel a great deal and like a backplate, you might want to check out Deep Sea Supply. They make a Kydex backplate which weighs about 1 pounds, unstrung. www.deepseasupply.com
I would also say that the product seemed flimsy though probably fine for single tanks. The sales guy specifically recommended against using it with doubles.
Dive Rite used to make a 1 pound ABS plate though they discontinued it. It's easy to find 2 pound aluminum ones. I'm all for saving another pound but using a plastic plate that melts in the sun isn't the way to do it.

Boss Brian McDermott praised the spirit of his Reading team after he watched them overturn a two-goal deficit in the last 17 minutes to win 3-2 at Bristol City.
Goals from Jobi McAnuff, Adam Le Fondre and Mathieu Manset secured a precious three points for the Royals, after Albert Adomah and Brett Pitman had handed City a comfortable cushion with less than a quarter of the game remaining.
And afterwards McDermott recognised the fighting spirit in his Reading players, who have now won two and drawn one of their last three Championship games. He said: "You've got that (spirit) or you haven't. It comes with results and it comes over time."
McDermott added: "I've been lucky enough to have such a good group and we've still got that spirit and you have to maintain that. We've done that and we've given our fans a really good night.
"At 2-0 Adam Federici kept us in the game. He made two or three brilliant saves, and then when Jobi got the goal I thought we could go on and we certainly did. Our substitutes came on and did well, and that's why we're such a good group.
"We have to be absolutely delighted to come here, 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go and win the game 3-2 - it's fantastic for our fans. It gives us the momentum of getting seven points from the last nine. We were hanging in there. There were times we didn't play as well as we wanted to but it was a fantastic result."
In contrast, City boss Keith Millen could not comprehend the defeat.
And the Robins manager questioned the decision not to award Adomah a third-minute goal. The Ghanaian was given offside in the build-up to his strike, with replays suggesting the officials got it wrong.
Millen said: "It's probably the hardest defeat that we've had to accept. We had a fantastic 65 minutes and should have been three-up at half-time.
"We've seen Albert's goal and he was two yards onside so the officials have made a bad decision. For them to even get back in the game was unbelievable."

Lipscomb's Bisons placed six players in double figures Tuesday night in an 83-64 rout of Savannah State at Allen Arena.
"We were very unselfish," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "We had great team play."
Savannah State struck first, scoring on a lay-up by Winston Martinez on the first possession of the game. Savannah State would not get another field goal until Mark Williams hit a 3-pointer with 10:49 left in the half.
Savannah State also added two free throws as the Bisons took an 18-7 lead, stretching the advantage to 14 points at the half, 37-23.
A little over one minute into the second half Savannah Statetrimmed the Bisons lead to 10 points at 37-27. That was as close as Savannah Statewould get. The Bisons twice led by 27 points at the 6:28 and 5:45 marks.
"My only concern is that we get up big, but then we let teams come back," Sanderson said. "We have to see the value of each possession."
Shaun Durant, Brian Fisk and James Poindexter tied for the game high with 13 points each for the Bisons. Brandon Hartwell and LaBrian Lyons each had 11 points.
Lipscomb's Cameron Robinson got the first double-double of the season for the Bisons with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
"If Cameron gets his minutes, don't be surprised to see stats like that," Sanderson said. "He's a hard-working player."
The Bisons shot 48.2 percent from the field, including hitting 11-of-25 3-points shots.
Lipscomb also held a 43-28 advantage on the boards.
Three Savannah Stateplayers scored in double figures. Mark Williams and Donald Carson each had 12 points. Brandon Emerson added 11.
The Bisons evened their record at 1-1. Savannah State , an Independent, is 0-4.
The next game is Saturday night at 7 in Allen Arena against Fisk.

Using medicines, drugs or other substances to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing is an important part of liver cancer treatment. We offer a number of medical therapies for liver cancer:
- Regional chemotherapy: Liver cancer is usually treated with regional chemotherapy, in which a small pump containing the anticancer drugs is placed within the body to release the drugs directly into the blood vessels feeding the tumor. Regional chemotherapy directs the high-dose anticancer drugs to the tumor, and prevents them from circulating through the rest of the body, sparing you from unwanted side effects.
- Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE): A form of regional chemotherapy in which the anticancer drugs are delivered directly through the hepatic artery leading to the liver. Small particles or spheres designed to block blood vessels are mixed with the drugs the close off the artery, trapping the drugs near the tumor. Blood flow (oxygen and nutrients) to the tumor is blocked, but the rest of the liver continues to receive blood via the hepatic portal vein.
- Percutaneous ethanol injection: Uses a small needle to inject ethanol (alcohol) through the skin and directly into the liver tumor.
- Targeted therapy: Drugs or substances that target a specific protein, receptor or other unique characteristic of the cancer cell, attacking only the cancer cell, sparing healthy ones. Some of these include sunitinib and sorafenib, two drugs that work in part by targeting and inhibiting the ability of the tumor to form new blood vessels to feed it.
Roswell Park is able to offer some targeted therapies through a clinical research study, allowing patients to have treatments unavailable at other care centers. Some of these include:
- Using existing drugs in new ways: Drugs like sunitinib and sorafenib may be offered in conjunction with other treatments like chemoembolization and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), especially for patients who cannot have surgery.
- The latest drugs: New agents like tivozanib for patients with advanced liver cancer.

Taylor Swift Looks Forward to 2012 Album and Tour
Despite the fact that she's still heavily touring her 'Speak Now' album, Taylor Swift is already imagining her 2012 album coming to life onstage. In an interview backstage at the 2011 CMA Awards — immediately after collecting the Entertainer of the Year prize for the second time — the singer spoke from the heart about just how much she loves her job and what we can expect from her forthcoming release.
"With this next album, I'm so excited because I've been writing so much. We're still in the first gear of making it, so as we finish songs and demo them in my producer's basement, I can picture them being played on the stage," Swift revealed. "One of the things that I love about the Speak Now Tour is that it's very theatrical, and each song has its own treatment. The reason I obsess over it so much is that I obsess over writing them so much."
Theatrical indeed. In each city, the 'Love Story' songstress unpacks a full-on Broadway production with pyrotechnics, elaborate staircases, glittery lit-up trees and even a terrace that floats through the stadium on wires. Swift added, "I am so proud of this tour, and the reason why it's so much fun is because I obsess over how to treat each song."
Without a doubt, it takes a village, so to speak, to put on a Taylor Swift show — and even the fans are a huge part of what makes the wheels turn so smoothly. The 21-year-old superstar credits her entire entourage with her double Entertainer of the Year win, as she recognizes that without them, none of it would be possible. "The reason why we celebrate like we just won the Super Bowl is that my band and crew, the dancers, the aerialists, the catering crew, my family, friends and fans all over the world were paying attention tonight, and they were excited because they're part of this," Swift said during the press conference.
"It's such a fun, daydreaming job to have," she explained, detailing why she loves what she does. "You spend so much of your time planning and daydreaming about the future, and it's a blast to get to call that a career."

No. 9 Marlins: 22nd in a series counting down to spring training. Next: Braves.
New name. New stadium. New manager. Four new players, all of whom have been to at least three All-Star Games.
There is no shortage of topics to consider when looking at the Miami Marlins, who couldn't wait to say good riddance to their home for 19 seasons, which went by so many names it could have been in witness protection.
Never mind that the Marlins won four World Series games in the multi-sport abomination alongside the Florida Turnpike. They never really became a South Florida summer destination, and without the still-to-be-named new home near downtown the Marlins might be...

+ & X Blocks Quilt Finished!!
Quilt stats:
52" x 67"
Inspired by this amazing quilt by Setsuko Inagawa The tutorial how to make this block can be found on Amy Badskirt's blog There's a quilt along for this quilt on Flickr if you're thinking about making one yourself, lots of inspiration and advice can be found there.

Angelina Jolie's Aunt Debbie Loses Battle with Breast Cancer
Angelina Jolie's Aunt Debbie has passed away after a battle with breast cancer, her Uncle Ron Martin tells E! News.
The news comes just weeks after the 37-year-old actress shared her brave decision to have a preventative double mastectomy to lower her risk for the disease. Debbie is the sister of Angie's late mother Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer in 2007.
"Angelina has been in touch throughout the week and her brother Jamie has been with us, giving his support day by day," Ron said. "They both loved Debbie very much and although Angie is not able to come right now she has sent her love and support which was very nice."
"We have seen Angelina a number of times since Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer and Debbie and I were both very proud of her recent decision to have the double mastectomy and to do everything she can to keep her family from having to go through what we've been through," he continued. "Angelina's father Jon Voight has also been tremendously supportive�"he came down to see Debbie last Sunday and spent the whole day, talking with her and sharing his love and I know Debbie really enjoyed seeing him and talking with him."

The Iraq War may be officially over, but for thousands of Iraqis who fled to America during the conflict, there's no going home. Many left successful careers to settle in Detroit, where finding their future is a challenge.
The U.N. estimates several million Iraqis are now refugees — either inside Iraq or outside the country. Almost 60,000 of them have come to the Detroit metro area since 2006, drawn by the large Arab community that's been there for years.
"There are mosques, schools, churches and neighbors," says Rifat Ita, a counselor with Lutheran Social Services of Michigan, one of four resettlement groups in Michigan. "We have the infrastructure to help new arrivals."
But what Michigan does not have is enough jobs to meet demand for anyone, let alone this group. That falls harshly on refugees, particularly the professional class, which is often middle-aged and older.
A Warm Welcome
At the Bellagio Banquet Hall in Southfield, Mich., lights blaze nightly and the atmosphere is welcoming. The Bellagio posts its name in both English and Arabic, and inside the scene is straight out of old Baghdad. Scores of men sit in shirt sleeves or business suits, smoking the water pipe, or narguile, and playing dominoes. The late, legendary singer Umm Kulthum laments on the sound system. Time has agreeably stopped for male camaraderie.
Yet even when the environment is as safe and familiar as it is here, a sense of fragility lurks just below the surface.
"When we were there in Baghdad, we didn't know who is the enemy," says Sayf al-Tabaqchali, a medical resident. He left Iraq in 2006, his doctor's career over before it began. "The government, the militias, the Iraqi resistance group, the police — everybody is maybe a threat."
Two of his cousins were kidnapped and killed, he says. Several friends and some professors were kidnapped, too. About half his class emigrated, Tabaqchali says, just like he did.
Tabaqchali and his best friend, Yaser al-Hadithi, are both 31. Hadithi is a medical resident, too. Both have had to pass examinations, get new licenses and repeat their residencies in pathology and internal medicine now that they're in the U.S. They're actually optimistic about their futures, but talk quickly pivots to older relatives.
"It's very hard for the older people," Hadithi says. "Because of the language barriers, because they can't work, you know, they don't have relatives, friends who can help them. For example, my father went back to Jordan; I'm not sure if he's coming back or not."
Careers Lost
Khaldoun al-Azawi and his wife, Imam, are both 50, college-educated, charming and poised. In their rented home in Dearborn, they recall the moment at a checkpoint when soldiers fired on the family.
"I just lift my head to see if my kids are alive or they are dead," Imam says. "It is too hard, too hard. I can't forget that."
In that moment, Khaldoun decided the family would flee.
The couple loves Michigan, but in three years, they've not had one job offer. Until the war, life was about success. They met in college. He built up a business selling fuel pumps to gas stations. He even returned to Iraq last year to see if he could line up exports of American products. That didn't work out, so they turned to the U.S. government for support — food stamps and Medicaid.
And in a reversal of the coming-to-America story, the relatives who stayed behind in Iraq are helping out financially.
For now, Imam and Khaldoun have thrown themselves into their four children's lives, helping with homework, going on class field trips — anything to keep focused and positive. They do not want to go back to Iraq; in fact, the Azawis are proud of being on the road to U.S. citizenship.
"In a few more years, I will be a citizen here," Khaldoun says proudly. "We miss our family, our parents, but there is no other choice. Ask my son where he is from, and he will say, 'Iraq, but I'm an American.' "
Studying The Problem
A new study is evaluating the psychological cost borne by Iraqi refugees — and there is a lot of cost. The National Institute of Mental Health is sponsoring the study, carried out by researchers at Wayne State University. It is comparing a random sample of 300 Iraqi refugees from their first couple of months in the U.S. over the next three years with 300 non-refugee Arab immigrants.
The study has found that Iraqi refugees arrive in America already heavily stressed, and then joblessness and loss of identity pile on top of money woes. Dr. Yusif Rofa, a psychiatrist on the research team, says it's causing deep depression for many of the refugees.
"I met a refugee, she was kidnapped when she was in Iraq," Rofa says. "She's having problems here." The woman spent two days in prison for fighting and resisting arrest. "She might be deported back."
Rofa has also seen some Iraqi professionals turn around and go home.
"About six months ago, there was an Iraqi doctor with his wife — who is also a doctor — and their son who came as immigrants to the U.S., and they had relatives here," Rofa says. "They stayed only for one month, then went back." Confused, Rofa asked the doctor how he could possibly return to Iraq.
"I am too old to start studying again. Back home, I at least have a job. My wife has a job," Rofa said the man told him.
But what about your son, who might get kidnapped? Rofa asked.
"Well, I have to take that risk," the doctor said.
Rofa himself was given asylum in the U.S. in 2006. His wife, once a dentist in Iraq, now works as a Kmart cashier. They couldn't come up with the $200,000 it would cost to retrain her in America.
Looking For A Job, Any Job
Yet Rofa and the other researchers are also finding stories of resilience. For the most part, the Iraqi refugees work hard, going to community college or attending free English classes. Many new arrivals want help with their resumes, or ask for informational interviews or volunteer — anything to enhance their potential job profiles.
Oras Touma, 36, came to Michigan 10 months ago to escape religious persecution. She and her husband, Hesham Abdul Ghani, 42, are Mandean Christians, followers of John the Baptist. Pictures in their small apartment show their son and daughter wearing white and being baptized in Michigan streams.
The family had a nightmarish decade. In 2002, Touma survived a kidnapping attempt by Saddam Hussein's kinsmen. The family fled to Yemen, then returned to Iraq, facing religious discrimination all the while. Now in Michigan, Touma and Ghani, both engineers, spend a lot of time looking for work.
"We are trying. We made our resumes, and we are searching on Google, we are searching on companies," Touma says. They even approached one engineering center and offered to work as volunteers.
This week, Touma got some good news. She's going to start work next week as a supervisor for an international call center. She may indeed have a happy ending to her story.
'We Are Waiting For A Miracle'
War doesn't claim its victims all at once; sometimes it takes years. At the William Beaumont Hospital, a giant complex in Royal Oak, Mich., Dr. Najeeb Hanoudi bends over his comatose son, Nazar, kept alive on life-support systems these past eight years.
In 2004, an American soldier accidentally shot Nazar, leaving him in a vegetative state. Hanoudi, a prominent eye surgeon in Baghdad, would never have come to America but for this. The 77-year-old and his wife, Firyal, are worn out and ill from the hours spent at their son's side in the nursing home. After the shooting, Hanoudi says, an American official visited them.
"He came one day and saw us at home in Baghdad. And when he left, he said, 'I'd like you to write me something as a kind of reminder or a report or something.' "
Hanoudi later wrote the official, saying, "We are waiting for a miracle."
"There has never been a miracle," he says. Hanoudi isn't angry at the shooter. He's not even bitter that he was forced to leave his life in Baghdad for a nursing home in Michigan. He is, however, deeply angry about the war.
"In the end, the war proved to have been something crazy. Stupid. What for? Why did the Americans went there?" he says; there were no weapons of mass destruction.
"Five, six thousand kids were killed. Dozens of thousands of people who were injured. Hundreds of vegetative cases — which I have seen myself in Walter Reed Hospital, you see," he says. "Americans. Young ones. What for?"
Just days ago, Nazar died. That part of the Hanoudis' story is, at last, finished. Their hopes now rest on their other children and Nazar's young daughter — whom Nazar never met.
Yet to a person, all the refugees in this story, whatever their struggles, their sorrows, their longing for an Iraq that no longer exists, not one person wanted to return. They have set their sights on America now, and here, they will remain.
U.S. troops may be looking ahead to the rest of their lives. So are Iraqi civilians, who will with the effects of the war and violence for generations.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Baghdad a few minutes ago where the air raid sirens going off. We could hear in the distance around the city the sound of...
STEVE INSKEEP, BYLINE: Iraq humanitarian groups are warning that civilians will suffer.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Now, the golden dome in the city of Samarra lies in pieces, blasted by an explosion.
RENEE MONTAGNE, BYLINE: Suicide bomber steered his car a group of U.S. soldiers who were handing out candy and toys to children. Almost all the dead were women and children.
LYDEN: Beyond the hundreds of thousands of civilian lives lost in Iraq, at least several million people have been displaced from their homes. About 60,000 Iraqi refugees have come to the U.S. since 2006, most to the Detroit area, drawn there by a large Arab community that's been there historically. A couple of weeks ago, I paid a visit to see how they were faring in their new home - America.
LYDEN: Nightly, the lights are ablaze and the atmosphere welcoming at the Bellagio Banquet Hall in Southfield, Michigan. The place also posts a name in Arabic: (Arabic spoken), meaning, An Old Eastern Club - and it looks it. Scores of men sit in shirt sleeves or business suits, smoking the water pipe, the narguila, playing dominoes. Time has agreeably stopped here for male camaraderie. And yet, for many Iraqi refugees, even when the environment is as safe or familiar as it is here, a sense of fragility lurks just below the surface of daily life. Sayf Al-Tabaqchali is medical resident now. He left in 2006, his doctor's career in Baghdad over before it began.
DR. SAYF AL-TABAQCHALI: I have, like, six, seven of my colleagues, friends who were kidnapped. We had two or three professors in the medical university hospital were kidnapped. From our class, maybe 50 percent or more, they left Iraq.
LYDEN: Sayf and his best friend and former classmate, Yaser Al-Hadithi, are both 31. They've had to pass examinations to get new licenses, repeat their residencies in pathology and internal medicine. I'm very optimistic, says Sayf. But talk pivots quickly to older relatives who came here.
AL-TABAQCHALI: It's very hard for the older people, you know, because of the language barriers, because they can't work, you know, they don't have relatives, friends who can help them. For example, my father went back to Jordan, I'm not sure if he's coming back or not.
IMAM AL-AZAWAI: You have to start from zero - start from this beginning.
LYDEN: Imam al-Azawai and her husband, Khaldoun, are both 50. In their rented home in Dearborn, they recall the moment in their car at a checkpoint in Baghdad when the soldiers fired on the family.
AL-AZAWAI: I just lift my head to see if my kids they are alive or they are dead. You know, it's too hard, too hard.
KHALDOUN AL-AZAWAI: So, God protect us.
LYDEN: They decided they had to flee. Their daily challenge is what happens now. They love Michigan, but it's a state with some of the highest unemployment in the country. In three years, they haven't had one job offer. Until the war, life was about success. They met in college. Khaldoun built up a business - sold fuel pumps to gas stations in Iraq. He even returned to Iraq last year to see if he could line up exporting some American products. No go. So they had to turn to government support.
AL-AZAWAI: We got from the welfare, the Department of Human Service, food stamp and the medical insurance, Medicaid, which cover a part.
LYDEN: And in a stunning reversal of the coming to America story, relatives who stayed behind in Iraq, are helping them out financially.
AL-AZAWAI: My brother, he try to help me, he tried to...
AL-AZAWAI: He lent us, sometimes lent us some money. And sometimes his father and mother, their grandpa, they sent money to their kids, you know.
LYDEN: Imam and Khaldoun have thrown themselves into their four children's lives, helping with homework, going on class field trips, anything to keep focused and positive. They don't want to go back to Iraq. Al-Azawais are proud of the fact that they are in the road to U.S. citizenship. You said something about when your kids brought their books home, what would you do?
AL-AZAWAI: Yeah, I tried to read all the history books, especially the American history, the Michigan history.
LYDEN: Will you apply for residency?
AL-AZAWAI: Sure. I got the green card.
LYDEN: And then citizenship?
AL-AZAWAI: It should be five years from the date of entry.
LYDEN: A new study has begun to evaluate the psychological cost borne by Iraqi refugees. The National Institute of Mental Health sponsors the study, which is being carried out by researchers at Wayne State University Department of Family Medicine. It compares a random sample of 300 Iraqi refugees from the first couple months of their arrival over the next three years, contrasting that with 300 non-refugee Arab immigrants. One member of the research team is psychiatrist Yusif Rofa, who was given asylum here in 2006. Iraqi refugees, the majority of whom come here after living in third countries like Syria or Jordan, arrive already heavily stressed. Joblessness and a loss of identify pile up with the money woes. Dr. Rofa tells of one woman who is having real problems with anger.
DR. YUSIF ROFA: She was kidnapped when she was in Iraq. She's having problems here. She got herself in a prison for two days for making a quarrel, shouting, and when people called the police she resisted arrest. And she might be deported back.
LYDEN: But the researchers are also looking for resilience.
LYDEN: Oras Touma pours tea in her living room. She came to Michigan 10 months ago with her children and her husband, Hesham Abdul Ghani, to escape religious persecution.
HESHAM ABDUL GHANI: We left Iraq basically because of the violence events happened to the minority religions. We are Mandean. So...
LYDEN: Very small religious minority.
GHANI: Not more than 70,000 in the whole world.
LYDEN: Mandeans are followers of John the Baptist, and there are pictures in their small apartment of the family. They have two kids wearing white, and being baptized again in a Michigan river. Oras and her husband, Hesham and their extended family have had a nightmarish decade. In 2002, Oras survived a kidnapping attempt by kinsman of Saddam Hussein.
Hesham's brother was kidnapped and tortured. Now, Lutheran Social Services of Michigan has helped them get resettled. And the two engineers - she's a civil engineer, he's a mechanical engineer - spend a lot of time looking for work. Oras is 36, Hesham 42.
ORAS TOUMA: We are trying. Yeah. We made our resumes and we are searching on Google. We are searching on companies, contract companies.
LYDEN: This week, Oras got some good news. She's going to start work next week as a supervisor for an international call center. She may indeed have a happy ending to her story.
But war doesn't claim its victims all at once. Sometimes it takes years. At the William Beaumont Hospital, a giant complex in Royal Oak, Michigan, Dr. Najeeb Hanoudi bends over his severely brain-injured son, who has been kept alive on life support systems for nearly eight years.
DR. NAJEEB HANOUDI: He was deprived from oxygen, the brain I mean, the central nervous system for something like 14 minutes, you see? The patient is left with what is called I mean a vegetative state.
LYDEN: It's been a litany of agony following an accidental shooting in 2004 by an American soldier. Najeeb Hanoudi was a prominent eye surgeon in Baghdad. He would never have come to America but for this. The 77-year-old and his wife, Firyal, are worn out and ill from the hours spent at their son's side in a nursing home. When Dr. Hanoudi thinks back to April of 2004, when it happened, he recalls that an American official visited them.
HANOUDI: He came one day and saw us at home in Baghdad. And when he left he said I'd like you to write me something as a kind of reminder or a report or something. And I ended at 500 words, three, 400 words: We are waiting for a miracle. There has never been a miracle.
LYDEN: And while Najeeb Hanoudi is not bitter at the shooter nor even angry that he has been forced to leave his practice and plans in Baghdad for a nursing home in Michigan. Yes, he is angry about the war.
HANOUDI: In the end, the war proved to have been something crazy, stupid. What for? I mean why did the Americans went there? Five, 6,000 kids were killed, dozens of thousands of sea of people who were injured. Hundreds of vegetative cases which I have seen myself in Walter Reed Hospital. You see, Americans, young ones. What for?
LYDEN: It's all very sad, he says, part of the nightmare. Ten days ago, after being in a twilight state for so long, Nazar Hanoudi finally passed away. That part of their story is, at last, finished.
Their hopes now rest on their other children and Nazar's young daughter, a daughter her father never had the chance to meet before the accident.
Yet to a person, all the Iraqi refugees in this story, whatever their struggles, their sorrows, their longing for an Iraq that no longer exists, not one person wanted to return. They've set their sights on America now. And here, they will remain.

October 15, 2008 – Washington, DC –The Marian Koshland Science Museum has launched an online, interactive exhibit that reveals fascinating stories about the world by allowing people to view changes in energy use around the world. The display, "Lights at Night," provides a navigable, astronaut's-eye view of the Earth at night using satellite data that spans a decade. Comparing the differences in energy use over time can starkly illustrate trends about people's economic, political, and living situations in many different regions of the world.
"Lights at Night" has long been one of the Koshland's most popular exhibits," said Patrice Legro, director of the museum. "By making it available online, we hope many more people will use this interactive to view changes in their own regions of the country, as well as investigate what is happening over time in other parts of the world."
Created with satellite data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "Lights at Night" allows users to zoom in on one particular region of the world or view the entire Earth to see energy use in each of three different years; 1993, 1997, and 2003. Several features allow for comparisons between specific years. For example, viewers who hone in on Northern India can see how energy use has increased as the area's population and economic fortune has grown. Viewing the stark differences between light use in North Korea and South Korea tells a different story about poverty and economic prosperity in the two countries. In addition, users can even spot such details as the lights from fishing vessels off the coast of Asia.
"Lights at Night" can be found at the museum's website, along with interactive versions of the Koshland's other exhibits. The Marian Koshland Science Museum explores the complexities of science and brings current scientific issues to life for the general public through interactive, dynamic exhibits based on reports by the National Academies. Located on 6th and E Sts., NW, the museum is easily accessible by metro at the Gallery Place/Chinatown and Judiciary Square stops. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily except Tuesdays. For more information, visit the museum's website.

That moment in history was brought to you by Notre Dame's men's basketball team in January 1974.
There was a chance something similar might happen again Monday night at the Joyce Center, where Digger Phelps and Dwight Clay conspired to end the 88-game winning streak of UCLA and John Wooden, the Wizard of Westwood.
But it didn't. The No. 6 Notre Dame women are talented, potential Final Four participants, but they weren't able to Xerox the magic on a night when doing so would have resounded almost just as loudly across the land.
You've got to get up pretty early in the morning -- not to mention the game -- to knock off Geno Auriemma, the wizard of wipeouts.
Led by 18 points and eight rebounds from Tina Charles, who became UConn's all-time scorer and rebounder, the top-ranked UConn women completed their second consecutive unbeaten regular season by defeating Notre Dame 76-51 before a sellout of 9,149.
All five UConn starters scored in double figures. The Irish (25-4, 12-4) were led by Devereaux Peters with 15 points.
It was a night when historical milestones toppled like dominoes, one on top of the other, on top of the other, on top of the other.
The victory completed UConn's eighth unbeaten regular season (30-0, 16-0) and second straight. They have now won 69 consecutive games, all by double figures, since a team missing Mel Thomas and Kalana Greene lost to Stanford in the semifinals of the 2008 Final Four in Tampa.
And Charles, the leading candidate for national player of the year, jumped to the top of the record book in two categories.
With 13:13 remaining, she grabbed the fifth of her eight rebounds off a Peters miss. That was the 1,269th rebound of Charles' career, breaking Rebecca Lobo's record, which had stood since 1995.
And with 4:21 left, she scored the points that broke Nykesha Sales' scoring record.

Cool to see the front page of the Seattle paper to have 2 lead cycling-related stories.
The Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board has overturned a law in Lake Forest Park restricting the development of the Burke Gilman Trail through their city. As the front page lead article in the Seattle Post Intelligencer states, they have been trying for years to limit trail (of thousands) in favor of the locals who live on the trail (much less than thousands).
This is my normal route home, and in the past year I've stopped using this route in favor of city roads. The trail condition is just too uneven, unmaintained, and unsafe. Hopefully this ruling will help to put the trail back on track.
UPDATE: The SoundOff section in cycling-related stories usually doesn't go in our favor, but today has been a refreshing change. The vast majority of the comments are very pro-cyclist. Is it the fact that this is a trail so the "keep cyclists off the road" crowd is staying out of it, or the fact that attitudes are finally shifting? Let's hope it's the later.

With Roberto Luongo seemingly headed out of town and across the continent one way or another, Josh Hall tells us why Bobby Lu deserves to be a future inductee into the Ring of Honour. The Vancouver Canucks won't be the same without him which is indeed why he deserves said honour. Luongo and Kirk McLean along with Richard Brodeur are the only goalies in franchise history to play over 20,000 minutes.

"Running any top level regatta is a challenge I enjoy," continued Golison. "My goal is always to try and run the perfect regatta in the way the competitors want to see it run.

In the last event of the Championships, the Engineers won the consolation heat of the 400 free relay, securing its fourth top-ten relay finish. The team of Jonathan Varsanik, Mattieu Fuzellier, Grady Snyder and Craig Edwards split 3:06.02 to post the seventh-fastest mark in the event.

Kenyon won the team championship for the 26th consecutive time, continuing its dominance over the sport. NEWMAC-rival Springfield College finished ninth overall behind NCAA Diver of the Meet Mike Shaw, who won both events. MIT finished among the top ten for the first time since 1984. The Engineers earned their highest placing at nationals with a seventh-place finish in 1982.

Quinlan's Sky of Blue and Sea of Green
Name: Quinlan (8 1/2 months)
Location: Newton, MA
I am a huge Beatles fan, and for some odd reason the only nursery themes I could come up for my son with were Lennon-McCartney songs! Strawberry Fields Forever, Octopus's Garden, Rocky Raccoon, etc. But we ultimately settled on Yellow Submarine, combined with aquatic/underwater elements.
We wanted the theme and color palette to be bright and cheerful, to provide Quinlan with a visually stimulating environment. Just about everything on the walls - from the Beatles figurines to the sea creature decals on the wall above the changing table (lots of faces) - was carefully selected to foster his visual and social development. And we've brought in many personal and handmade items, including underwater photos by Quinlan's "grammy," and a blue and yellow blanket that I knit. Most importantly, our "client" absolutely loves it!
The color palette inspiration: "Sky of blue...sea of green..."
Source List:
• Paint - Benjamin Moore's Sweet Pea, eggshell finish (Aura)
• Vinyl wall decals - Etsy, Fisher-Price
• Rug - Crate & Barrel
• Bookshelf - Pottery Barn Kids
• Glider - Dutailier
• Crib, Baby Changing Station, 5-Drawer Dresser - Romina Karisma
• Bedding - Carousel Designs (custom design)
• Yellow Submarine licensed figurines, lunch box, picture frame, clock - Vandor

• Porthole mirrors - NauticalTropical.com
• Accent lamp - Kids Line

On the Right Side, we need a form for returning Users to sign in. A box where they can enter their Username and Password. If you go on the facebook.com homepage, they have it laid out very clear.
C) Look and Feel- Now that we have a logo for the most (see attched logo) part, you can see the idea we're going for...This is like the Mortal Kombat of Guitar. Its like an underground fight club for Guitar. Obviously we don't want to make it a violent theme or a Hellish theme....we'll just replace violence with 'Badass-ness'.. I was thinking especially on the home page, to find a cool way to lay out a couple pictures of these famous Guitarists (see attached) These guys are the Rock-Legends and I think it'd be cool to have them tastefully placed somewhere on the page or even standing on the side panels of the page...See what your guy can do to be creative without changing the image too much. These are recognizable guys whose songs are in the game...

Source:AMAN Jordan
