In early October Norway’s Telenor and Russian investment vehicle Alfa Group announced an agreement to merge VimpelCom and Kyivstar, their jointly controlled Russian and Ukrainian telecommunications companies. The deal ends a five-year battle between Alfa and Telenor that had come to epitomize many of the challenges and dangers of investing in Russia. While clearly positive for the companies involved, the resolution of the dispute does not necessarily suggest an improvement in the underlying investment environment in Russia, which remains plagued by weak institutions, personalized politics, corruption, red tape and a lack of transparency.
Some of that opacity appears to be prevalent in official statistics. As part of its evolving anti-crisis strategy, the government extended loan guarantees to a number of heavily indebted companies, in part as an effort to stem layoffs. Somewhat surprisingly, given the context of a sharp economic contraction, unemployment in Russia has been subsiding. But comments in mid-October from the departing head of the Russian state statistical agency about the influence of the economics ministry on official state data cast a shadow of doubt over relatively upbeat recent unemployment data—and about the integrity of Russia’s economic figures generally.
The Kremlin floated a plan to accelerate the privatization in 2010 of a range of state-controlled companies and infrastructure assets, although controlling stakes in key strategic holdings will not be sold. The anticipated privatizations, if they are carried out, reflect the continued strong influence of the liberal wing of government over economic policymaking.
President Dmitry Medvedev has tasked the cabinet with developing a broad national strategy to fight alcoholism, which has been repeatedly cited for years as a root cause of the severe long-term demographic and economic challenges that the country faces. But past anti-alcohol crusades, most notably during the Gorbachev era, have had few results beyond undermining the government’s popularity ratings.

Johnson, Terry L.
When a son, sister, or grandchild begins to behave in unexpected and disturbing ways, family members hope it is simply a phase. For some, it is instead a lifetime illness—schizophrenia.
The diagnosis of schizophrenia can bring shock, fear, and worry to everyone involved. But in the midst of the numerous challenges, hope doesn’t have to die.
Simonetta chronicles her experience of caring for a son with schizophrenia, along with all the struggles, questions, and fervent prayer that went with it. But this isn’t one person’s story. She has provided information and wisdom from psychiatrists, pastors, parents, and people who successfully live with schizophrenia, uncovering the gospel in each situation and sharing hard-won insights on how to care and advocate for those we love.
Simonetta Carr, mother of eight and homeschool educator for twenty years, has worked as a freelance journalist and a translator of Christian works into Italian. She is the author of the series Christian Biographies for Young Readers.
“By far the best book I have encountered . . . on a controversial topic. A great resource for families, students, and professionals.” —Richard Winter, Psychotherapist; Professor Emeritus of Applied Theology and Counseling, Covenant Theological Seminary
“The most honest and deeply moving Christian book I’ve read in a long time. . . . Opens the door of hope and help for other families by sharing . . . hard-won knowledge and resources.” —David Murray, Professor of Old Testament and Practical Theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; Author, Christians Get Depressed Too
“The most inspiring story I’ve ever read. . . . A story of how God’s grace and love really can and do sustain his people.” —Brooke Ventura, Assistant Editor, Modern Reformation
“Carr writes powerfully and movingly. . . . This book is an essential resource and guide for anyone living with or around schizophrenia.” —Jonathan Aitken, Former UK Cabinet Minister; Author, John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace
“Parents . . . will find a fellow traveler who tells her story and provides wisdom and even hope that God is faithful in the darkest circumstances.” —Mark Stephenson, Director of Disability Concerns, Christian Reformed Church in North America

Data from late-stage cancer vaccine pipeline on distant horizon
Although real progress has been made in the last few years with cancer vaccines, the development history still contains more setbacks than successes. The approval of Dendreon's Provenge has no doubt lifted hopes, but considering the lack of late-stage data on the horizon, its seems unlikely that the product will be joined by anything similar soon.
The analysis below, of selected late-stage cancer vaccines, reveals that it will be a couple of years before many of the most promising projects report data. The next up could be a product from Menarini, which has been conducting a nine year trial with its ovarian cancer candidate, abagovomab.
Abagovomab is an anti-idiotype antibody so not strictly a cancer vaccine, although it is trying to do the same thing: mimicking a tumour antigen highly expressed by ovarian cancer cells and triggering an immune response. The vaccine is designed to prevent recurrences of the disease in patients who responded to first line chemotherapy.
The trial, called Mimosa, started in December 2006 and was fully recruited two years later, and first results are due at the end of 2010, the private Italian company says on its website.
Amongst the other larger players with late-stage candidates, an update from Merck KGaA is still awaited on the clinical hold on Stimuvax. Before the study was suspended the product was looking promising, although results were not due for several years (Merck halt cancer vaccine trials in another knock for sentiment, March 23, 2010).
Glaxo appears to making progress with its candidate, MAGE-A3, which is now being studied in two indications although again results are not due for a number of years; 2013 for melanoma and 2015 for lung cancer.
Lucanix, being developed by NovaRx, might also yield results late next year, according to clinicaltrials.gov, although this looks ambitious considering the study is still open for recruitment.
The product consists of four non-small cell lung cancer cell lines that have been gene-modified to block a molecule called transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), which is commonly produced by cancer cells. The molecule allows cancer to hide from the body's natural immune system. When TGF-beta is blocked, the immune system can see, find, and destroy the cancer naturally.
Started in mid-2008, the phase III study is seeking 700 patients with advanced lung cancer and is still recruiting.
Little information is available on The Vaccine Company’s PR1 peptide vaccine, which is still ongoing in leukaemia, according to clinicaltrials.gov; the trial was estimated to have ended last year. The company is private and makes few announcements.
Meanwhile a large trial of GV1001 is being carried out in the UK by the National Cancer Institute, in patients with pancreatic cancer, called Telovac. The vaccine already failed one pancreatic phase III trial, called Primovax, which differed in design. Rights to the drug were bought by a Korean company, KAEL-GemVax, earlier this year, from Affitech. The primary endpoint is survival at one year and 1,110 patients are being sought for recruitment, has yet to complete and results are probably a couple of years away.
And following the financial collapse of Biovest's parent company, Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, the path foward for BiovaxID remains unclear. A phase III trial is listed as underway on clinicaltrials.gov, which was supposed to have completed last year.

Here lies a small island called “Enoshima” entirely dedicated to the “Benzaiten”, the Goddess of music and entertainment who is said to have made it rise from the bottom of the sea in the sixth century. Enoshima Jinja Shrine consists of three small shrines, each dedicated to a different Shinto Goddess, all of which are a Goddess of the Sea.
They are called “Hetsu no Miya” (Shrine at the edge) which is dedicated to the Tagitsu no Hime, “Nakatsu no Miya” (Shrine at the middle) which is dedicated to Ichikishima Hime no Mikoto and “Mokutsu no Miya” (Shrine at the depth) which is dedicated to Tajiri Hime no Mikoto. The most popular amongst tourists and even celebrities is the “Hetsu no Miya” shrine that dedicates two famous “Benten” Statues, the nude one and the one with eight arms.
Shishi or Jishi is translated as “lion”. They are stone guardians outside shrines that have magical properties and the power to repel evil spirits. Shishi’s traditionally stand guard outside the gates of Shinto or Buddhist temples, one with mouth open and the other closed. The open mouth relates to “Ah” which is the first sound in the Japanese alphabet and the closed mouth relates to “Un” which is the last. These two sounds symbolize beginning and end, birth and death or all other possible outcomes of existence. Others say the open mouth is to scare off demons, and the closed mouth to shelter and keep in the good spirits.
“Shirasu Don” with a side of “Ika Maruyaki” for lunch.
Many small souvenir shops line the path along the way.
After a long day of island culture I headed down to Shonan Beach. Although today seems a little quiet, this place is often called the Miami Beach of the East. Hordes of tourists, surfers and regular sun seekers flock here during the summer time. But today I enjoy the peacefulness and wonder why I don’t come here more often.

Description and Causes of Miosis (Pinpoint Pupils)
Miosis is the medical term used to refer to pinpoint pupils. In other words, it’s about the contraction of the pupil — it may seem irrelevant but actually reveals a lot about a person’s health.
This part of the eye reacts physiologically to changes in light by either contracting or dilating. In addition, its size changes when a person consumes toxins or when there’s brain damage. Thus, continue reading to find out everything you didn’t know you wanted to know about miosis.
Miosis (pinpoint pupils)
As we’ve just pointed out, miosis consists of the contraction of the pupil — the darkest part of the eye located in the center of the iris. It’s responsible for controlling the amount of light that passes into the eyeball, in the direction of the retina.
It dilates or contracts in order to adjust light, depending on how much of it there is in a given environment. Thus, it dilates when the environment is dark — this is called mydriasis. In contrast, the pupils get smaller when there’s a lot of light. This is a normal, physiological reflex controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system.
These movements are due to the ciliary muscle, the iris dilator present in the eye. The sympathetic nervous system coordinates the action.
Causes of pinpoint pupils
As we explained above, miosis is a physiological process that occurs in response to the amount of light. However, it isn’t the only situation that can lead to this reaction. Certain substances or diseases can cause it as well and that we’re about to describe.
Opiates alter the central nervous system. People either use them as medication for a given condition or for recreational purposes. Fentanyl, morphine, heroin, and methadone are just some of them.
They depress the nervous system and so the pupils contract and hardly react to light stimuli. According to an article published in Universidad Libre Seccional Barranquilla, opioid intoxication is characterized by miosis, and respiratory and consciousness depression, among other signs.
Intoxication by chemicals
In addition to opioids, there are many other chemicals that can lead to miosis. In fact, several medications list it among their side effects — antipsychotics such as haloperidol, for example. The same is true for topical drugs used for treating glaucoma.
Horner’s syndrome and miosis
The symptoms of this condition appear after a nerve injury. It causes myosis and a droopy eyelid. In addition, it decreases sweating on that side of the affected face.
According to an article published in Acta Médica del Centro, iatrogenesis is one of the main causes of this syndrome. That is, it happens as a result of medical failure after facial surgeries and dental or therapeutic interventions applied for trigeminal neuralgia.
Check out these Keys to Protecting Your Eyes During the Summer
In some cases, miosis may appear depending on the area of the brain affected by bleeding. In cases of a serious stroke or when the thalamus is involved, for example.
This type of cancer occurs in the lung and can affect parts of the sympathetic nervous system — responsible for producing mydriasis, the opposite of myosis. Thus, the pupil cannot dilate and remains contracted as a result.
Read about the Four Exercises For Eye Health
Diagnosis of pinpoint pupils
In order to diagnose the cause of miosis, the simplest thing to do is look at the general condition of a given patient. Many of the etiologies that produce the symptom, such as opioid poisoning or cerebral hemorrhage, are usually accompanied by an alteration in the level of consciousness.
Ideally, ask the person if they’re under the effect of drugs or medications if they’re conscious. Also, look at how the pupils react to light stimuli. A doctor or nurse will test various eye reflexes to check the neurological state.
The photo motor reflex is among them, which consists in observe if the pupil contracts more when exposed to the light. Another one is the consensual reflex, which confirms if the pupil of the other eye (the one not being illuminated) is also contracting. This shows whether the injury is in one of the peripheral nerves or in the upper brain.
A physiological reflex
Miosis or pinpoint pupils is a physiological mechanism that occurs in response to light. However, it can also be secondary to neurological damage or intoxication by certain substances.
Thus, it’s an essential part of the medical examination and provides a lot of information about a patient’s condition. You must suspect an underlying pathological process when the sign is persistent.It might interest you...

Tales is coming to you with guest vocalist/songwriter Sheila Jordan.
“Sheila Jordan is one of the Jazz world’s best kept secrets.”
– Blue Note –
With 51+ albums to her credit, how could she be the best kept secret? People “in the know”, and what I mean by that, people who are true jazz lovers and listeners definitely know who Sheila Jordan is and what is so uncommon about her. She is one of the first vocalist to perform exclusively using just a bassist. When they speak about song stylist, story tellers, makers of history, Ms. Jordan is smack dab in the middle. Starting from her humble beginnings in the coal mining town of Pennsylvania to Chicago, where there, she dared to cross the lines of ignorance, willingly standing up to irrational racism. Her days in New York City. Her unique relationship with Charlie Parker, all the while living, performing , yes singing. That is where her heart was and still is to this day.
This legacy interview gives us all the opportunity to listen to the history of jazz and how it was perceived by one of the world’s rare and ingenious vocalist. Ms. Jordan’s career spanning over 80 years speaks directly as the voice of the original generation of jazz. You can’t know jazz or understand jazz unless you have heard this story. Sheila Jordan’s story.
“Gliding, soaring on the wind. You’re a sight of glory
Flying way up there so high. Wonder what’s your story?”
from Bird Alone by Abbey Lincoln
No longer to wonder, now is to know. I feel very honored to have Ms. Sheila Jordan on this episode of Tales. I’ve listened to her unique and original song styling for most of my musical life and have discovered that appositeness of subtly is definitely an obscure concept these days. Most singers today, sing using acrobatics, digital voice assistance, bells and whistles, anything and everything goes, all running after the latest sound that is most heard and familiar. And then there are the true innovators. The singers who find the illusive truth of the self that is all too often hidden between the notes and words. For Ms. Jordan that truth is her ever constant companion and together they move as one in the world offering to each listener an experience that is rare, profound and colored by love.
During the interview, we spoke on these things and I wanted to list them here so that you can check them out and discover all the wonderful things about this extraordinary woman.

About Sheila Jordan
b. Sheila Jeanette Dawson, Nov. 18 1928, Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania’s coal-mining country, Jordan began singing as a child and by the time she was in her early teens was working semi-professionally in Detroit clubs. Her first great influence was Charlie Parker and, indeed, most of her influences have been instrumentalists rather than singers. Working chiefly with black musicians, she met with disapproval from the white community but persisted with her career. She was a member of a vocal trio, Skeeter, Mitch And Jean (she was Jean), who sang versions of Parker’s solos in a manner akin to that of the later Lambert, Hendricks And Ross.
After moving to New York in the early 50s, she married Parker’s pianist, Duke Jordan, and studied with Lennie Tristano, but it was not until the early 60s that she made her first recordings. One of these was under her own name, the other was “The Outer View” with George Russell, which featured a famous 10-minute version of “You Are My Sunshine”.
In the mid-60s her work encompassed jazz liturgies sung in churches and extensive club work, but her appeal was narrow even within the confines of jazz. By the late 70s jazz audiences had begun to understand her uncompromising style a little more and her popularity increased – as did her appearances on record, which included albums with pianist Steve Kuhn, whose quartet she joined, and an album, Home, comprising a selection of Robert Creeley’s poems set to music and arranged by Steve Swallow.
A 1983 duo set with bassist Harvie Swartz, “Old Time Feeling”, comprises several of the standards Jordan regularly features in her live repertoire, while 1990’s “Lost And Found” pays tribute to her bebop roots. Both sets display her unique musical trademarks, such as the frequent and unexpected sweeping changes of pitch, which still tend to confound an uninitiated audience. Her preference to the bass and voice set led to another remarkable collaboration with bassist Cameron Brown, whom she has been performing with all over the world for more than ten years so far and they have released the live albums “I’ve Grown Accustomed to the Bass” and “Celebration”. Entirely non-derivative, Jordan is one of only a tiny handful of jazz singers who fully deserve the appellation and for whom no other term will do.

The bailout is not the end of capitalism
Share Now on:
TEXT OF INTERVIEW
Renita Jablonski: So this morning, a bailout in Asia — of course, a fraction of what we’re spending in the U.S. As part of the plan here, the Treasury is pouring $125 billion into the nine biggest banks in the country.
It’s still hard to know what to make of these moves, let alone how to characterize them. Time for Fortune Magazine’s Allan Sloan to weigh in. What do you think, Allan?
Allan Sloan: Well, I think no one has seen anything like this ever, so people are making up it as they go. And I hear that sometime next month, there’s a presidential vote in the United States, is this true?
Jablonski: Ah you know what, I think that’s coming up here, yeah.
Sloan: Right. So with all of this, things have to be reduced to a soundbyte. So it’s nationalization — the end of capitalism as we know it. And just realizing that people are doing the best they can and have no idea what to do, that all disappears and everyone races to put a brand on it and then shriek.
Jablonski: And so what are you doing in this case? Is this the end of capitalism the way you look at it?
Sloan: No, it’s not even remotely the end of capitalism. If you look at the terms of the investment the government is making in these nine banks, boy, I would kill for somebody to give me that much money and exert so little control over my life. I mean, if Paulson has got $100 billion looking for a home, I mean I’m there.
Jablonski: But there are some that would say just the fact that it was Henry Paulson, that it was the government making this kind of deal with banks, is a step away from capitalism.
Sloan: It’s a step away from their definition of capitalism. I mean, you have a minimum wage law — that’s a step away from capitalism. We have unemployment insurance, that’s a step away from capitalism. We have bank deposit insurance. I don’t hear any of the banks saying bank deposit insurance is socialistic, which it is. So the parts they like they want to keep, but having the government come give them money at 5 percent — which is incredibly cheap — have no strings on it and that’s nationalization, well that’s nonsense.
Jablonski: And what do you say to all the people listening that are shaking their heads saying, “Yeah, but in the end, what’s in this for me?”
Sloan: Well, I mean I’m not a great fan of any of this, but I think what they’re doing here is a lot better than the original plan, which I considered ridiculous, to go out and try to buy trashy securities from banks. What’s in it for us is avoiding the risk of a worldwide financial collapse. And I really don’t like some of these bigger institutions, which have really messed up bad, and now they’re getting cheap money and having the nerve to whine about it — but show me an alternative.
Jablonski: Allan Sloan of Fortune Magazine. Thank you so much.
Sloan: My pleasure, Renita.

Kate Wagner is closer to receiving breakthrough melanoma medication after authorities approved its use in Australia.MONIQUE FREER May 28, 2014 3:31am
Kate Wagner was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma after the birth of her son Maclan in July. Benalla Ensign on 8/01/2014 CAPTION: Kate Wagner was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma after the birth of her son Maclan in July.
Benalla mother Kate Wagner is one step closer to receiving potentially lifesaving medication after Australian medical authorities granted access to an experimental melanoma drug.
After pleas from cancer patients, their families and medical professionals, the Therapeutic Goods Administration last week granted advanced melanoma patients access to a limited amount of the PD-1 drug, MK-3475.
Mrs Wagner was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma last July, one week after giving birth to her son Maclan.
After doctors found two tumours in her brain and two in her right lung she had two craniotomies and whole-brain radiation, in anticipation of beginning a clinical trial of the breakthrough new melanoma drug.
However as the disease progressed the clinical trial closed, leaving her without access to the medication.
Instead Mrs Wagner began treatment on Yervoy — which has just a 20 per cent success rate — and began campaigning for Australian access to the PD-1 drug.
The Benalla mother is yet to know whether she will have access to the drug that was hailed as a breakthrough in the United States.
‘‘While I felt intense relief when I found out accessibility for Australians was to become reality, my feelings were somewhat mixed,’’ Mrs Wagner said.
‘‘I am still a few weeks away from knowing if I am eligible to receive the drug as I must first wait to finish the current treatment I am receiving. When and if I do become eligible, there is no word yet on how many places are available and indeed how long the sponsored aspect of the program will run.’’
The program is now open for application, and Mrs Wagner said if and when she got the drug depended on several factors.
‘‘How long it takes to actually receive MK-3475 will depend on the individual circumstances of the patient, and how quickly their oncologist submits their information,’’ she said.
‘‘I’m excited for my fellow late-stage sufferers and their families, but nervous for my own — and I will stay that way until I have the needle in my arm.’’
Although she faces a nervous wait until that time, Mrs Wagner said the decision brought her a sense of personal accomplishment.
‘‘It validates all of those nights where I set my alarm for 3

Coca-Cola GB launches its first 100% recycled plastic bottles
Coca-Cola's Great Britain arm has launched its first fully recyclable plastic bottles made using 100% recycled PET (rPET), under its Glaceau Smartwater brand.
Developed as part of a partnership with Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP), the new 600ml and 850ml bottles will be rolled out in the UK before the end of the year. Coca-Cola GB claims the move will mitigate the use of 3,100 tonnes of virgin plastic each year, once the switch is completed.
This week has also seen Coca-Cola GB confirm that it will switch its Sprite bottles from green to clear plastic in order to boost recyclability and incorporate 50% rPET.
The moves come as part of Coca-Cola GB’s ambition to double the proportion of recycled content is uses in its plastic bottles to 50% by early 2020 – a goal it has claimed it is on track to achieving. The company estimates that reaching this goal will avoid the use of 23,000 tonnes of virgin plastic across its 20 brands annually, while spurring growth in the rPET market.
According to CCEP’s vice president and general manager for Great Britain, Leendert den Hollander, switching to 100% rPET bottles was “not easy” but forms a “critical element” of the firm’s sustainable packaging strategy.
“Our new Smartwater bottle shows we can go further – but that requires more packaging to be collected so that more can be reused to make new bottles,” den Hollander said.
“That’s why we support the planned reforms of the current recycling system in Great Britain and are calling for the introduction of a well-designed deposit return scheme for drinks containers, which we believe will reduce litter and increase the quantity and quality of material reprocessed in this country.”
The Government is currently exploring how best to design its nationwide deposit-return through a series of consultations on its Resources and Waste Strategy. Ministers are exploring two variants of the system, which will operate for cans and plastic and glass bottles. An “all-in” model would focus on all beverages placed on the market, irrespective of size, while the second, “on-the-go” model would restrict drinks containers that could operate in the system to less than 750ml and sold in a single format.
CCEP has been a long-term supporter of the introduction of a deposit-return scheme in the UK. This is, in part, due to its parent firm The Coca-Cola Company setting an ambition of ensuring that all packaging it puts onto the market is recycled.
A new mix
Since WRAP launched its Plastics Pact last year, dozens of big-name companies have committed to its ambitions, which include achieving a minimum of 30% recycled content across all plastic packaging.
Indeed, many firms in the beverage space have already surpassed this target, with Highland Spring having launched 100% recycled water bottles; innocent drinks switching to 50% rPET for its smoothie bottles and Lucozade Ribena Suntory choosing to house its new ‘Ribena Frusion’ line of soft drinks in 100% recycled plastic bottles.
Building on this trend, vitamin and supplement brand Nature’s Way this month switched to new packaging containing 97% recycled content for more than 300 of its product lines. The recycled content in the packaging is entirely post-consumer and is made using used milk bottles and jugs.
According to Nature’s Way, the move will mitigate the use of 3,500 tonnes of virgin plastic every year. Given that the new packaging will be showcased through US retail giants like CVS, Amazon, Kroger and Publix, the company is hoping that it will encourage consumers and competitors to re-think linear economy models for plastics.

Digestive System Home > Colon Polyps
Colon polyps are growths that develop on the inner wall of the large intestine. Although most polyps that are found in the colon are not cancerous, some may develop into cancer as time passes. Risk factors for polyps in the colon include being 50 years old or older, smoking, and having a family history of colon cancer. Most of the time, these polyps do not cause symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they may include anal bleeding and blood in the stool. To help prevent or detect colon cancer, polyps are removed and tested to see if they are cancerous.
A polyp is a growth protruding from a mucous membrane lining organs in the body (such as the bladder or intestine). Colon polyps grow on the inner wall of the large intestine. The large intestine, also called the colon, is part of your digestive system. It's a long, hollow tube at the end of your digestive tract where your body makes and stores stool.
Most colon polyps are not dangerous, and the majority are benign, which means they are not cancerous. But over time, some types of colon polyps can become cancerous.
Usually, polyps that are smaller than a pea aren't harmful. But larger colon polyps could someday become cancerous or may already be cancer. To be safe, doctors remove all colon polyps and test them.
There are two main types of colon polyps:
- Hyperplastic polyps.
(Click Types of Colon Polyps for more information.)
Anyone can develop colon polyps, but certain people are more likely to get them than others. You may have a greater chance of developing colon polyps if:
- You're 50 years old or older -- the older you get, the more likely you are to develop polyps
- You've had polyps before
- Someone in your family has had polyps
- Someone in your family has had cancer of the large intestine.
You may also be more likely to get colon polyps if you:
- Eat a lot of fatty foods
- Drink alcohol
- Don't exercise
- Weigh too much.

DEBATE: Should U.S. Citizens Have to Pass a Test to Vote?
If you watched the most recent "Watters' World," then you know that many U.S. citizens aren't exactly up-to-date on their current events, government and politics.
So is it time to revisit the idea of vetting voters?
Ann Coulter and Nomiki Konst appeared on "Fox and Friends" to debate if citizens should have to pass a civics test in order to vote.
Coulter argued that there should be a test and it should be more difficult to vote.
"There's nothing unconstitutional about literacy tests. Instead, we have ballots being given in 124 different languages," Coulter said. "I'm pretty sure Senate debates will not be taking place in Urdu. So what are they voting on?"
"My main point is: I would let Democrats do all of the vote theft they can get away with, but I would limit the voting day to one 24-hour period," Coulter said.
Konst countered that only 36 percent of the U.S. population is voting, which is the lowest ever, and not one state went over 60 percent this past election.
"We have a civic crisis in America. We shouldn't block people from voting. We should be investing in civic education," Konst said. "And since 1960, we have cut civic education drastically across the board. So the real problem is the education system, which Republicans are defunding state by state."
"Is a completely ignorant voter better for the Democratic party or the Republican party?" Coulter asked.
"Democratic party," she asserted.

3 cities to be developed as world heritage sites
Aug 4, 2014-
Experts have agreed on conserving and developing three sites: Tilarakot and Nigrodharam in Kapilvastu, and Ramgram of Nawalparasi that have historical significance pertaining to Lord Buddha, with a view to turning them into tourist destinations.
The project currently being run by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) with Nepal in assistance of ‘Japan Aid and Trust’ will prioritise the conservation and development of the sites in the second phase of the project from 2014-16.
In a three day seminar chaired by Yukio Nisihimura, vice-chairperson of the Tokyo University in Japan, experts discussed ideas about the potential objectives that could be achieved as part of the second phase of the project.
Professor Dr Robin Coningham of Durham University in United Kingdom, Professor Constantino Meucci of Rome University in Italy, and Unesco consultant Architect Kai Weise, an expert on Nepali vaastu shastra, were present at the seminar.
Unesco Nepal representative Christian Manhart and Karma Sangbo Sherpa, vice-chairperson of the Lumbini Development Fund, said that they would work towards turning the three sites into World Heritage Sites by taking into consideration the advice of the experts committee.
As part of the project, the Ashok pillar at Lumbini, Lumbini Mayadevi Temple and other stone structures carrying historical and archaeological significance will be renovated.
Senior archaeologist and Unesco consultant Kosh Prasad Acharya said that studies will be conducted to find out the chronology, structure and societal
environment of Tilaurakot, the ancient city where lord Buddha is believed to have spent his early life.
Acharya further said that a risk assessment will be carried out to determine which areas should not be interfered, and informing that further excavations will be carried out near the Kanthak Stupa located east of Tilaurakot. Similarly, geophysical survey will be conducted in Ramgram and Nigrodharam, the city where Lord Buddha is believed to have met his parents and turned his wife and son into monks after achieving enlightenment.
Meanwhile, Unesco consultant Kai Weise will be conducting a further survey before submitting the findings to the Unesco headquarters to enlist Tilaurakot and Ramgram in the permanent list of the World Heritage Sites.
Both the sites have already made it into the partial list of the Unesco.
Similarly, Prof Coningham said that land mappings will be conducted in the areas surrounding Tilaurakot which includes Kanthak, Dharmanihawa and Lohsariya for
During the programme, Chairperson Kodaya VC of Hoksu Organisation in Japan pledged to provide financial assistance worth 50,000 dollars for the project, while Durham University also assured of assistance.
Unesco Nepal, with the help of ‘Japan Aid and Trust Fund’, had conducted excavation and conservation works in Lumbini and Kapilvastu during the
first phase of the project from 2011-13.

A group of Polish parliamentarians wants to make in vitro fertilization illegal, but their motion is causing a wide divide in public opinion.
The party's bill would make it even harder for infertile couples to become parents
The campaign is being waged by the country's conservative opposition, the Law and Justice Party (PiS), which claims that excess human embryos produced during the IVF procedure are destroyed, thus violating their right to life.
Pro-life campaigners describe the IVF procedure as unethical
MP Boleslaw Piecha of the Law and Justice Party, who came up with the proposed ban, is convinced that Poland should lead the way in Europe by fighting for the rights of the unborn.
"What we need is to stop human embryos being artificially created outside the woman's body and then being treated inhumanely," said Piecha. "So far, Poland hasn't had any legislation on the issue, and it's high time this was brought to an end."
The proposal has been endorsed by the Polish Roman Catholic Church, which back in the early 1990s used its influence to have a repressive abortion ban imposed. However, it has been criticized by women's groups, who argue that the ban would deprive childless couples of the chance to have a baby.
The campaign scares women like 37-year-old academic lecturer Monika, who sees IVF as her last resort. She and her husband have been trying to conceive a baby for 12 years now.
Monika believes that those behind the bill should consult women like her and doctors, instead of getting on a moral high horse.
"Conservative politicians are divorced from modern-day reality," she said.
The Church's influence
Critics say that the present liberal Polish government is not doing enough to control the church's grasp on public life. According to Zbigniew Nosowski, editor of the liberal Catholic magazine Wiez, some Poles still cling to the old concept of the Church's involvement in social life – "a kind of Catholic society, even a Catholic state."
The Catholic Church is a powerful force in Polish society
But there are those who say that Polish politicians' reluctance to face up to the church could cost them dearly.
According to public opinion surveys, the nation is split right down the middle on controversial issues such as IVF treatment and abortion. However, more and more younger-generation Poles appear to have doubts about how far the Church should be allowed to push its conservative line.

The programme of rebuilding the water transport and Polish shipbuilding
During the Congress held in Szczecin, Prime Minister participated in the signature of a letter of intent for the building of passenger ferries in Polish seaports.
The maritime economy and Polish maritime industry are not only announcements or programmes but concrete action – stressed Beata Szydło. She also emphasised that Polish shipyards have huge shipbuilding capacity and could become industry leaders. Political will, proper conditions and
opportunities for those who want to develop Polish industry and economy are necessary.
This is both the greatest challenge and obligation of the government – stressed the Head of the Government.
Besides comprehensive support for the shipbuilding industry, Prime Minister pointed to the construction of the navigation canal, inland waterways and work on the waterway transport strategy in Poland as priority. According to Prime Minister, industrial development is not confined to one ministry.
The action must engage all, because only then we will be successful. This is why some of these actions will address local communities, local governments; relevant regions will take over action – said Prime Minister.
the work of the Ministry of Maritime Economy and Inland Waterways on the strategy of development of river traffic in Poland is well underway. We must restore Polish rivers to make them good and cheap transport routes. This is not only significant simplification for the industry but also better and energy-friendly transport. This will boost not only the industry along the coast but it is a great opportunity for our country as a whole – stressed Prime Minister.
She also mentioned the work on the Vistula Spit dug-through.
This project is of paramount importance not only for having a new major seaport in Elbląg, it is also a strategic investment – said Prime Minister.
Fast economic growth based on Polish innovative engineering
When referring to the assumptions of the economic programme, Prime Minister Beata Szydło pointed to the need of reindustrialisation, building our Polish brand and potential of our national businesses.
We shall become a state of international position, a partner to the largest, strongest economies when we are able to say that Poland has growing Polish businesses that manufacture products based on Polish innovative engineering and offer new solutions. This is the goal of the economic programme which I am implementing – convinced Prime Minister. She stressed the role of Polish science and innovative engineering in the development of Polish economy.

U.S. Recommends Tighter Control on Hydrocodone Pain PillsAnna Edney and Elizabeth Lopatto
Vicodin and other hydrocodone-based painkillers, the most popular pharmacy drugs in the U.S., would be placed under stricter prescribing limits to curb abuse, in a policy reversal by the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA agreed to recommend by early December reclassifying the pills as a Schedule II substance, Janet Woodcock, director of the agency’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement. Hydrocodone combinations, are currently Schedule III, the third-highest level on a five-stage scale that takes into account the potential for addiction.
About 131 million hydrocodone products were dispensed in 2011, more than double the number for oxycodone pills, which have greater restrictions, according to an FDA report released in January. The Drug Enforcement Administration for about a decade has been asking the FDA to recommend reclassifying the products to Schedule II from III, including in 2004, a request the FDA denied in 2008. The DEA resubmitted its request in 2009.
“While the value of and access to these drugs has been a consistent source of public debate, the FDA has been challenged with determining how to balance the need to ensure continued access to those patients who rely on continuous pain relief while addressing the ongoing concerns about abuse and misuse,” Woodcock said yesterday.
The FDA said it anticipates the National Institute on Drug Abuse will side with its recommendation, as will the DEA. A phone call to the DEA for comment wasn’t returned.
The restrictions may make it tougher for pain patients, said Edward Michna, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, and director of the Pain Trials Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. In some states, nurse practitioners can’t write prescriptions for Schedule II drugs and many doctors aren’t willing to prescribe anything stronger than Schedule III, he said by telephone.
“So you have to consider the secondary, unintended consequences: patients who are legitimate users who may lose access, or be restricted,” Michna said. “It’s all a balance.”
Hydrocodone combinations join the main ingredient with less potent painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. A panel of FDA advisers in January called for tougher restrictions on the drugs because of the potential for abuse. Lawmakers have also called for the change.
“Each day that passes means rising abuse, and even death, at the hands of hydrocodone-based drugs,” U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said in a statement. “I’m very pleased that the FDA has heeded my call and will tighten up control of one of the most highly prescribed -- and abused -- drugs on the market.”
Schumer called on the FDA in January to tighten controls on the drugs to “combat an unprecedented spike in prescription drug abuse in New York state and the country,” according to his statement.
The DEA had asked FDA to recommend the Schedule II reclassification that would limit refills to a 90-day supply instead of the current five refills within six months.
The decision may also level the playing field for Zogenix Inc., which is awaiting word from the FDA on whether the agency will approve for sale the company’s pure hydrocodone painkiller Zohydro. Pure hydrocodone products are already classified as Schedule II, and the FDA recommendation would put some of the same restrictions on Zogenix’s competition.

text: My personal pick would be an early Model 19 K-frame for light weight and balance and because it carries well. But it would give up a bit in durability to the 686. Although they are heavy duty, I always thought the N-framed M27's were beautifully made .357's. My buddy has one with a 5" barrel. It seems to balance itself, and the blueing is flawless. I will never sell my 4" M27. It's not my preference for length but it's too sweet a wheelgun.

It’s been a long week. I have a large class Friday night, and the first day of recipe testing on Saturday. Lots of ducks to get in a row, and it’s taken longer than I expected. Dinner tonight had to be fast, and it had to be good. Very good.
Ever since I had revisited Green Goddess Dressing, I’d been thinking: fish sandwich. I pulled a piece of tilapia from the freezer and within about 20 minutes in a bowl of cold water, it was thawed. I toasted a good sandwich roll under the broiler, then spread it liberally with the dressing. I washed a couple of leaves of lettuce, sliced a tomato and some red onion. Melted butter and some lemon juice waited for the fish, which cooked in minutes. I stacked it all up, and dished up a bit more dressing for good measure. It was good. Very, very good.

Hans Christian Andersen's First Fairy Tale
Friday, December 14, 2012
In the bottom of a box in an archive on the island of Funen, historian Esben Brage discovered a hand-written manuscript identified as a copy of the first fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen. "The Tallow Candle" was probably written in the mid-1820s, while Andersen was in his late teens. He had dedicated the story to Madam Bunkeflod, a widowed neighbor. “The fairy tale was a present. A present of thanks to a woman whose home had been very important to him,” said Ejnar Stig Askgaard of the Odense City Museum.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma City Police Department released body cam footage from a fatal officer-involved shooting that occurred last month.
On March 4, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper tried to pull over a truck near I-240 and Air Depot for a broken tag light.
However, the driver refused to stop and led the trooper on a long chase. Eventually, an Oklahoma City police officer joined in the chase for backup since there were no other troopers in the area.
Officials say the driver, 38-year-old George Lee Seeton, lost control of his vehicle and ended up in a yard near S.E. 32nd St. and Kelley.
At that point, the officer and trooper got out of their vehicles and walked toward the truck.
However, Seeton started reversing toward them.
“Went in the direction of the officers. Both the trooper and the officer discharged their weapons, striking the suspect,” Capt. Paco Balderrama, with the Oklahoma City Police Department, told NewsChannel 4 in March.
They tried to revive Seeton, but he died at the scene.
On Tuesday, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma City Police Department held a joint news conference to address the shooting. At the same time, the footage from the officer’s body cam was released.
Warning: This video contains graphic events that may be disturbing to some viewers.
The footage shows Seeton throwing the truck in reverse as the officer jumps behind the patrol car and fires his weapon.
"Just that quick. I mean, I think about a second and a half or two seconds before, from the time he fully gets out of the car to when the shooting takes place. So not a whole lot of time to make a decision. You know, that's one of the tough things about being a police officer is that you have to take everything that's going on, the totality of the circumstances and make a very quick decision. Sometimes it involves people's freedom and their lives, in this case. It's pretty tough for the officers but, of course, it's their job to follow the training and our guidelines and our policy and procedure," Capt. Balderrama said.
Capt. Balderrama said this is likely the first time an Oklahoma City officer's body cam footage has been used in an investigation of a deadly shooting.
Officials say the truck Seeton was driving at the time of the shooting was stolen, and he was wanted on a felony warrant.

MIAMI — Art patronage tends to be an affair over time: a collector will acquire an artist’s work slowly, methodically, riding out the natural waves of creativity and invention while nurturing a deep, drawn-out appreciation for the artist’s worldview. Flying in the face of conventions, Don and Mera Rubell visited the studio of Miami-born painter Purvis Young one afternoon in 1999, shortly after discovering his work at the home of friends, and sketched out a tentative plan to purchase its entire contents in only a matter of hours. Located in the Wynwood neighborhood, now a trendy arts district and home to the Rubells’ 40,000-square-foot museum for the last two decades, the crowded warehouse where Young lived and worked brimmed with more than 3,000 paintings on slabs of wood, scraps of cardboard, unhinged doors, yellowed ledger books, and any other material the artist could repurpose from his urban bicycle trips. Created with industrial or house paint, or acrylics if he could get his hands on them, Young’s works tell the stories of individuals and communities, of dreams and disillusionment, and of the abysses between life, death, and eternity. His distinctive inky figures, charging forth in a phalanx, walk solemnly in procession. Marching in protest or alone in unbounded expanses of color, they trace past histories of oppression that flow into the present.
The Rubells’ visit was timely: Young feared eviction from his building as the neighborhood rapidly gentrified, and the couple’s regular payments allowed him to settle elsewhere and provided assurance that his life’s work would be well cared for. That the Rubells instantly became patrons of Young may be a testament to their unflinching, instinct-driven collecting, but it also speaks to the emotional potency of Young’s work. There is perhaps no better way to begin grasping Young’s solo exhibition at the Rubell Family Collection (RFC) in Miami than to consider this serendipitous convergence of two rare events: a peculiarly forthcoming pair of collectors and an unusually good artist.
Curated by RFC’s longtime director Juan Roselione-Valadez, who was part of the team initially tasked with accessioning the acquisition, Purvis Young is the museum’s largest presentation of a single artist to date, with more than 100 works (all untitled and dated circa 1980–1999) grouped neatly into 14 categories that correspond with the various leitmotifs of Young’s oeuvre. These themes include the subjects and symbols most commonly associated with the artist — horses, faces, and angels, for instance — and less explored subjects, such as eyes, insects, and planets. As Valadez laments in the exhibition catalogue’s introduction, such thoughtful presentations of the artist’s work are few and far between, with paintings typically installed in bulky masses where individual works are difficult to differentiate. If the Rubells initially took in an unwieldy stockpile of artworks, the educated taxonomy of the current survey is defined by rhyme and reason, leveraging a thematic approach to distill the biographical and stylistic evolutions of Young’s fascinating life and career.
Born in 1943 in Miami’s Liberty City, Young’s upbringing straddled segregation and integration and coincided with a wave of vicissitudes to the historically black neighborhood. As its population dispersed, white property owners bought up land only to neglect the buildings and their mostly African American tenants. Slumlording led to squalor, squalor to poverty. In the 1960s, Young was arrested for burglary and served a three-year sentence at North Florida’s Raiford State Penitentiary, where he found consolation and purpose in drawing, an activity he had pursued in childhood. Upon his release, he settled in Overtown, another vulnerable neighborhood located just below Wynwood. Inspired by works such as the Wall of Respect in Chicago and the union of public art and activism that emerged with the Black Arts Movement, riled by the torrent of global atrocities streaming from his television set and the injustices in his own turbulent backyard, he began to paint.
Young felt a responsibility to portray those whose fortunes were unfairly determined by class, race, and gender. Among his most moving subjects are pregnant women, who he viewed as paradoxical: harbingers of hope, they also bear the figurative brunt of society’s ills. Young’s delight at capturing the human form is palpable in these works. The women’s thin, mannered frames, bulging with exaggerated bellies and bloated breasts, stand upright in a feat of strength. The destructive effects of drugs, ubiquitous in Young’s community, constituted another concern. A swarm of undulating angels hovers above a mountain of syringes in an expressionistic composition of deep reds and cornfield yellows. Are they an apparition after death, or guardians of the city streets? In Young’s compositions, people live at the cusp of possibility, birth and loss in the hands of the same uncertain destiny. His grandmother had immigrated to Miami from the Bahamas, and boat people appear frequently in his paintings, tiny specks in horizonless oceans awaiting something better.
Young frequently cross-references motifs in his paintings. His multi-panel format and disregard for illusionistic space — his protagonists are always foregrounded in abstractions — allow for endless juxtapositions: motherhood and addiction, saints and slaves, needles and halos. Warring horsemen wielding spears float in color-scapes dappled with stars and planets. Under the grouping titled “Prisoners,” sallow faces peer at us from behind bars made out of found wooden beams or bits of cord and rope ingeniously nailed to the painted panel, while throngs of rioting figures hoist their squiggly arms in the air. The work is a fitting allegory for the racial profiling and mass incarceration that continue to impact Black communities in American society.
From the stacks of his local public libraries, Young pulled illustrated catalogues filled with van Gogh’s sunflowers and Old Master paintings. References to art history abound in his iconography, yet dwelling on his equestrian figures and perfectly spherical nimbuses risks eclipsing one of his most formidable accomplishments — the development of a truly unique, idiosyncratic vocabulary of symbols, many of which are not immediately readable. The RFC exhibition brings our attention to these ciphers. A small, intimate gallery hosts an enigmatic series of lush paintings featuring teardrop shapes punctuated with clear blue or deep green centers. These peculiar forms thin out at the corners and fatten in the middle, resembling slow-crawling mollusks that Young’s spindly figures mount like cowboys. They are not creatures, we learn from the wall label, but the ominous eyes of the oppressive white man. With their freewheeling brushstrokes and decadent patches of bright pigment, such as crushed orange and magenta, they recall the Fauvist lineage frequently invoked in conversations about Young’s work. But unlike those dogmatic colorists, Young did not have an apparent theoretical agenda for his palette (as he had a social one for his symbology). “I didn’t want to be nowhere near a painter,” he said cryptically in a 2005 interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, five years before his death. “I just paint to paint.”
The RFC is a far different environment from the world these works inhabited during most of Young’s lifetime. A fixture of his community, he was known for tacking painted panels to walls or tree trunks, merging his work seamlessly into the urban landscape as in his beloved murals of Goodbread Alley in Overtown, completed in the early 1970s. He had an alchemical ability to transform the unwanted parts of objects — the sidings of buildings, for instance, or books salvaged from the library’s pulp pile — into stages for his narratives of the everyday. His paintings also led more private lives, finding homes with friends, family members, and acquaintances who were lucky enough to be gifted works (and swipers who simply stole them). In this merited exhibition, they have found a space for contemplation.
Purvis Young continues at the Rubell Family Collection (95 NW 29th Street, Miami) through June 29.
