This is the same interview where Bolger championed, enthusiatically and at length, the turnaround in Michigan's economy.
Anybody see the irony there?
To be sure, Bolger isn't the only Republican bad-mouthing the auto industry bailout, which also has been criticized by Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.

It was clear they were headed toward bankruptcy. The only question was whether it would be a "managed" bankruptcy that would allow them to restructure or one that would simply put them out of business.
Obviously, the former was the preferred option | , but it required a major cash infusion so that GM and Chrysler could continue operations while the restructuring occurred.
But no private lenders were willing to loan the money; the nation's financial institutions were struggling for their own survival, and had no desire, absolutely none whatsoever, to get involved in the automakers' problems. In short, there was no money to be had in the private sector.

Lake Mary Doctors Advise Annual Pelvic Exams in Light of New Health Care Laws
SunState Medical Associates encourage female patients to visit a physician for annual pelvic exams even if the patients chooses to forego a Pap test. Lake Mary doctors hope that an increase in yearly checkups, now covered by most insurers, will decrease late detection of cervical cancer.
Lake Mary, FL (PRWEB) August 07, 2012
According to USA Today, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently updated it's guidelines, encouraging women to keep coming in for | annual "well woman" exams. They agree that even if these visits do not include a Pap test for cervical cancer, the visit should still include a pelvic exam to check for developing signs of cervical cancer. This timely recommendation coincides with new federal rules that now require insurance companies to fully cover annual physician checkups for women. Health advocates, including the physicians of Central Florida, hope that this new mandate will increase annual visits and decrease late detection of cervical cancer.

Our Catholicism Project film crew arrived at the shores of large lake in far northwest Ireland, in the county of Donegal.

Constitutional law has made a mess of the relationship between expression and equality. Much of the time, the two claims exist in sharp conflict, as in recent Supreme Court cases involving hate speech' and the effort by a gay and lesbian group to march in a St. Patrick's Day parade. In those cases, equality claims collided head-on with defenses based on a First Amendment right to express anti-equality values. In other instances, such as debates about whether viewpoint diversity can serve as a justification for affirmative action, or whether race-conscious redistricting can serve as a proxy for political interests under the Voting Rights | Act, the Court has waffled on whether associating race with viewpoint is empowering or insulting. The ensuing confusion has been felt across all major fields of antidiscrimination law, from race to sexual orientation, gender to religion. In every instance, courts have failed to grasp that these cases present their own new species of equality claims, not simply a conflict between two old doctrinal categories. This new branch of equality law arises directly out of identity politics and its legal progeny.

"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees."
President Bush, ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday September 1, 2005
On Saturday September 3, 2005, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff called the disaster "breathtaking in its surprise.... That 'perfect storm' of a combination of catastrophes exceeded the foresight of the planners, and maybe anybody's foresight... "
Hurricane Pam brought sustained winds of 120 mph, up to 20 inches of rain in parts of southeast Louisiana and storm surge that topped levees in the New Orleans area. More than one million residents evacuated and Hurricane Pam destroyed 500,000-600,000 buildings.
In July 2004 Emergency officials from 50 parish, state, federal and volunteer organizations faced this scenario during a five-day exercise held at the State Emergency Operations Center in Baton Rouge.
The exercise used realistic weather and damage information developed by the National Weather Service, the U.S. | Army Corps of Engineers, the LSU Hurricane Center and other state and federal agencies to help officials develop joint response plans for a catastrophic hurricane in Louisiana.
Volunteer organizations joined emergency officials from Federal, State and local jurisdictions in exercise Hurricane Pam. The exercise consisted of a Category 3 Hurricane with sustained winds of 120 mph, up to 20 inches of rain, and the evacuation of more than 1 million people from 13 Parishes in Louisiana.

demand then reject at your whim,
then demand again. your pretense
of being wronged is in your own
self-interest: I never changed.
I remained consistent, granite to your cloud.
you come and go, just the weather,
now I give you no more solace.
what grace I have's my own.
no regrets, and this is not goodbye:
I comprehend at last you | were sincere
if fleeting. I know nothing more ephemeral.
what I won't do for you, now,
is everything. I won't pick up your sticks.
when your house crumbles away, learn to
excavate yourself unaided. my shovel is no more
on loan to you. rewrite your own revision.
now peace of mind's no longer brainwashed
equivalencies, assumed objectivities and tasks.
your task just now is to find a place to stand.

Step 7. Prepare for possible repercus-

Perhaps students in my leadership class

Travesty in Tulia, Texas: Frame-up of 38 Innocent People Orchestrated by a County Sheriff, Prosecutor and Judge
By Hans Sherrer
On July 23, 1999, the small town of Tulia, Texas was rocked by the arrest of 43 people on drug charges. Thirty-eight of those men and women were convicted and given sentences of up to 434 years in prison. Stymied in efforts to get the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to take a serious look at irregularities in the cases, a defense attorney enlisted the aid of the media to publicize the lack of evidence any of the defendants were guilty. On April 1, 2003, a judge appointed to preside over a special evidentiary hearing announced he would recommend that the appeals court vacate the convictions. While that court was considering the cases, on July 30th the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole recommended that Governor Rick Perry pardon the 35 defendants | eligible for executive clemency. On August 22, 2003 Governor Perry pardoned those 35 defendants.

Virgil is regarded as the greatest of the Roman poets. His epic poem, the Aeneid, has been of continuing importance to Western literature. Products of the chaos of the Roman civil war years, Virgil’s works show a longing for a more peaceful ordering of society. Virgil’s importance to world literature is difficult to overestimate. Later poets and writers | have venerated and sought to imitate him. Among his more famous admirers were Dante and Milton who composed epic poems on his model.

(a) General. -- County commissions have no inherent authority to levy taxes and have only that authority expressly granted to them by the Legislature. The Legislature is specifically extended, and intends by this article, to exercise certain relevant powers expressed in section six-a, article X of the Constitution of this state as follows: (1) The Legislature may appropriate state funds for use in matching or maximizing grants-in-aid for public purposes from the United States or any department, bureau, commission or agency thereof, or any other source, to any county, municipality or other political subdivision of the state, under such circumstances and subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Legislature may prescribe by law; and (2) the Legislature may impose a state tax or taxes or dedicate a state tax or taxes or any portion thereof for the benefit of and use by counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions of the state for public purposes, the proceeds of any such imposed or dedicated tax or taxes or portion thereof to be distributed to such counties, municipalities or other political subdivisions of the state under such circumstances and subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Legislature may | prescribe.
Because a special district excise tax would have the effect of diverting, for a specified period of years, tax dollars which to the extent, if any, are not essentially incremental to tax dollars currently paid into the General Revenue Fund of the state, the Legislature finds that in order to substantially ensure that such special district excise taxes will not adversely impact the current level of the General Revenue Fund of the state, it is necessary for the Legislature to separately consider and act upon each and every economic | [

In less than two months time digital switchover takes place in Bristol, parts of Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. The Helping Hand campaign urges everyone to make sure older and disabled people in their area know about the help they can get from the Help Scheme to switch to digital TV.
At 9.00am on Tuesday 9 February, Maggie will launch the Helping Hand Campaign on the Promenade in Bristol city centre (opposite Bristol Hippodrome). Shoppers and passers-by will have the opportunity to add their handprint to a large-scale pledge board and their name or the name of the person they are going to help in the lead up to switchover.
Maggie says: “We’re appealing to the local community in Bristol to come and join us and add their handprint and pledge to our board on the day. Maybe you have already switched. Now it is time to think of those who still need help, particularly older and disabled people who might be leaving it to the last minute, or might not be sure what to do.

Help Scheme representatives will be on hand to tell | people about the Help Scheme, which provides practical help for older or disabled people to switch one of their television sets to digital.

Life Sciences | Medicine and Health Sciences
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review.
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether radiographic measurements derived from standard computed tomography (CT) evaluation can be used to predict failure of nonoperative treatment in patients with unilateral facet fractures.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: There is no consensus regarding treatment of unilateral cervical spine facet fractures. Management of this injury is based primarily on the presence of neurologic deficits and the degree of perceived spinal instability. CT-based criteria for predicting failure of nonoperative treatment in this patient population have not been examined.
METHODS: Initial CT scans of all patients with unilateral | cervical facet fractures were reviewed. Direct measurements included height and width of the facet fracture fragment, fracture displacement, and angulation. Calculated data included percent height and width of the fracture fragment based on the height and width of the contralateral intact facet.
RESULTS: A total of 24 patients with 26 unilateral facet fractures were identified. Five patients with 5 facet fractures failed nonoperative management and required delayed | [

We're taking a jaunt through the entirety of a rugby team. And not just any rugby team, but the Cal rugby team! We've talked with Marc Tausend, Scott Anderson, Ray Lehner, Michael Freeman, Rob Weedon, Joel DiGiorgio, Andrew Blair, Michael MacDonald, John Buchholz, Louis Stanfill, and Tony Vontz.
Today, we are talking with Jacques Wilson. Hailing from San Francity, Mr. Wilson came over to help the California Golden Bears in both rugby and football. So, he is helpful in providing insight into both of those sports. Mr. Wilson currently resides in San Francisco and is putting his degree to good use at Genentech.
He played the wing position at Cal and helps answer some questions about that position. Many thanks to Jacques Wilson for being great at answering these questions. Many thanks to all the ruggers who have taken time to answer the questions in this series. GO BEARS!

Q. This watch was presented to my great-grandfather by Queen Victoria in the early 1900s to commemorate the siege of Ladysmith during the Boer War.
The inscription on the watch’s front cover reads “Siege of Ladysmith 118 days 1899-1900 T. Dear A.B. H.M.S. Powerful.” The watch casing is sterling silver, and the details on the face read: “S. Smith & Son 9 Strand, Watchmakers to the Admiralty, London, Swiss Made.” We are wondering if you can tell us how many of these watches were presented, whether or not they were presented by the Queen herself, and what the watch’s value might be today.
— Heather, Fredericton
A. The siege of Ladysmith was an extended part of the | second Boer War, fought between the British and South Africa’s Dutch colonists, known as “Boers.” Ladysmith was a garrison town in the colony of Natal, now a city in KwaZulu-Natal. The warship HMS Powerful was one of the largest of the time, and provided guns and manpower to the British forces at Ladysmith.
It was Lloyds of London who presented these watches to each member of the crew of HMS Powerful, in this case to T. Dear, of the “AB,” or Army Brigade.

What do you do when the place you want to live is out of reach because you already have a house with a mortgage in another place?
Marketplace Homes might be able to help.

Overriding veto was entirely self-serving
Once again our elected officials demonstrate that they are concerned only about their own welfare. The only reason they would ignore all logic to pass Senate Bill 1642 is to protect their jobs and garner union votes. How can any manager do their job efficiently when they would have to ask permission of a union before they could move their workers around to be more productive? This will only waste more of our tax dollars and benefit these self-serving "public representatives."
Do you think any of our senators and representatives are personally concerned with the cost of living, medical coverage and retirement? There is always enough money to cover their wages, medical and retirement while they "run out of money" to provide tax relief to the people they represent!

What is psychiatry?
Psychiatry is a medical specialty that focuses on the study and treatment of mental health disorders. It is a highly specialized field that, despite the lack of direct diagnostic testing available, provides an extremely important role in overall wellbeing.What is a psychiatrist and what does a psychiatrist do?
Psychiatrists are board-certified medical doctors who diagnose and treat a variety of mental health disorders, which range from anxiety attacks and depression to schizophrenia and other psychoses. As a medical doctor, a psychiatrist is licensed to prescribe medication, and often works in conjunction with psychotherapists (talk therapists) and other mental health professionals.
Psychiatrists typically diagnose mental health disorders based on the criteria listed in manuals such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association. Before starting any kind of psychiatric treatment, a psychiatrist will typically give the patient a medical and psychiatric evaluation, gather patient history (medical history, symptoms of problems) and conduct physical exams, laboratory tests and brain imaging scans, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography | (CT) scans.

Stories to tell about cultural heritage
Several years ago, while traveling in the United Kingdom, I had the opportunity to test a long-held question of mine. Depending on the interpreter, how differently can cultural heritage be interpreted? While at a castle in Cardiff, Wales, I decided to find out by following the same one-hour tour led by two different guides.
Indeed, it was like two different stories. I assume they used the same basic guidebook with identical facts about the castle’s architecture, history, people and events, but while one offered a lecture, the other guide presented a compelling drama.
At another ancient place, the interpreter was very creative and fun. He assigned the participants to play historic characters at the site of a tragedy. One member of our group played the city mayor, who had a beautiful daughter. Another man played her courtier. Ultimately, everyone’s character died in a (simulated) scene of terrible bloodshed. From my vantage point, it was impressive but hard to take seriously.
``Heritage interpretation” refers to conveying information about, or explaining, the nature, significance and purpose of historical, natural or cultural resources, objects, sites and phenomena using personal or | non-personal methods.
The revered ``Father of Heritage Interpretation,” Freeman Tilden, defined interpretation as "any communication process designed to reveal meanings and relationships of cultural and natural heritage to the public, through first-hand involvement with an object, artifact, landscape or site."

Toronto property assessments up 22.8 per cent
Explore This Story
Toronto house values have increased an average of 22.8 per cent since 2008, according to the firm that calculates property assessments.
The assessments will be used to calculate property taxes in 2013, with the notices mailed out in waves.
Notices are being mailed to some 600,000 Toronto homeowners, starting with residents of Etobicoke and the former city of York, who can expect them Monday, said Joe Regina, of the Municipal Property Assessment Corp. It’s been four years since the last assessment.
Homeowners in the rest of the city should get their notices Nov. 5, while commercial property owners will get the numbers Nov. 23.
Toronto’s 22.8 per cent increase over four years compares with a 27.2 per cent increase in York Region and 13.8 per cent in Durham Region, whose MPAC results were released earlier this month. Peel Region’s assessments, also released this week, rose an average of 22.1 per cent, and Halton Region 21.1 per cent.
To cushion the impact, the increased assessments are phased in over four years, with the average assessment going | up 5.5 per cent per year to reach the full amount in 2016, Regina said.
But don’t panic about rising taxes: The key is determining your bill is where your property ranks with respect to the average in your municipality. If the increase in assessment has been above average, the homeowner will see a tax increase | [

Before he was cleared of criminal wrongdoing by the Justice Department on Friday, Sheriff Joe Arpaio liked to dismiss the investigation into him and his office as little more than a partisan witch hunt. But the very documents announcing the end of the probe undercut the sheriff's claims.

Exploiting the weekly cycle as observed over Europe to analyse aerosol indirect effects in two climate models

2Met Office Hadley Centre, FitzRoy Road, Exeter EX1 3PB, UK
*now at: Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zürich, Universitätsstr. 16, 8092 Zürich, Switzerland
Abstract. A weekly cycle in aerosol pollution and some meteorological quantities is observed over Europe. In the present study we exploit this effect to analyse aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions. A weekly cycle is imposed on anthropogenic emissions in two general circulation models that include parameterizations of aerosol processes and cloud microphysics. It is found that the simulated weekly cycles in sulfur dioxide, sulfate, and aerosol optical depth in both models agree reasonably well with those observed indicating model skill in simulating the aerosol cycle. A distinct weekly cycle in cloud droplet number concentration is demonstrated in | both observations and models. For other variables, such as cloud liquid water path, cloud cover, top-of-the-atmosphere radiation fluxes, precipitation, and surface temperature, large variability and contradictory results between observations, model simulations, and model control simulations without a weekly cycle in emissions prevent us from reaching any firm conclusions about the potential aerosol impact on meteorology or the realism of the modelled second | [

Goodbye, Dragon Inn
Directed by Ming-Liang Tsai
Cast: Kang-Sheng Lee, Shiang-Chyi Chen
While movies about the art of moviemaking are fairly common (just look at this year's The Aviator), movies about the art of watching movies are fairly rare. Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso is pretty much the capstone of this largely untenanted genre. A nostalgic portrait of growing up in a movie theater and loving cinema in its purest form, Cinema Paradiso examines what it's like to be a viewer, a passive participant captured by the flickering magic of a movie projector.

I want to stay after Euro: Portugal coachJune 13th, 2012 - 12:32 am ICT by IANS
Lviv (Ukraine), June 12 (IANS) Portugal coach Paulo Bento said Tuesday he wants to remain in the post after Euro 2012, but his fate is in the hands of the Portuguese FA.
Bento replaced Carlos Quieroz in 2010, immediately taking the team to a 3-1 Euro qualifying victory over Denmark.

“Even if we reach the final, I | would never talk about my future, that is a decision for the Portuguese Football Confederation,” Bento said.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- A Minnesota woman says she is "just in disbelief" after her newborn son was switched with another baby in a hospital and was breastfed by the other baby's mom.
Tammy Van Dyke's newborn baby, Cody, will have to be tested every three months for one year for HIV and hepatitis because of the foul-up, for which Abbott Northwestern Hospital has accepted responsibility and agreed to pay for the required medical tests, ABC News reported Friday.
Cody was inadvertently placed in the wrong bassinet Wednesday and then given to a woman who had just given birth to twins.
Hospital personnel told Van Dyke about the mix-up about 2 hours after it happened as she was preparing to go home with her new son.
"You put your baby in the nursery, not even 48-hours old, and you think they're safe," Van Dyke told ABC News. "I'm holding it together. I'm just in disbelief, and it was like I was in a dream, a bad dream, and I couldn't get it to stop."
Cody needed to undergo immediate testing for HIV and hepatitis, which Van Dyke said was "horrible."
"Two nurses had to go in through veins in his tiny | little arms."
The tests were negative, and were just a precaution in any case, Abbott Northwestern spokeswoman Gloria O'Connell said.
