Video: Is Wisconsin Santorum?s last change?



>>> the wisconsin primary is tuesday. and analysts say it is shaping up to be santorum 's last stand, possibly. within the last 24 hours , the campaign has more than doubled its ad buy in wisconsin and "the new york times" points out, a more subdued santorum is on the scene. they write, quote, rick santorum has eased up on using frass like worst republican in the country when tearing into mitt romney . now mr. romney is uniquely disqualified as mr. santorum has mildly put it to make the argument for conservatives that mr. obama 's health care plan should be repealed. let's bring in " washington post " political reporter, good to see you. let me start with this news that ch chuck todd has been able to bring in. that there was a meeting between newt gingrich and mitt romney on saturday. gingrich says he made no deal to end his bid for the gop nomination. what do you know about this meeting?

>> this is obviously just coming in. chuck todd is confirming it. it is suggested to me that there is an end game at work here even though newt gingrich has scaled back his campaign and said he will fight this to the bitter end. you do see a realization that this is coming to an en. he was at the rnc yesterday meeting with those folks, at the delegate map for himself. even with romney meeting, he was with leaders here and all of these endorsements are coming out. i think there is increased conversation between both of these camps, even talking to santorum folk. they are in touch with the romney campaign and the gingrich campaign. i think this is the end game playing out.

>> we know if newt gingrich is meeting with mitt romney and the meeting happened, there is more a, a substantive conversation than hey, what's going on with you. we've talked with about the alleged bromanc he. if there is some wheeling and dealing, what would newt gingrich bring to the table for mitt romney ?

>> he is certainly going to bring some delegates. at this point he doesn't have that many. i think he has about 150, almost 200 delegates. if it comes a point where mitt romney isn't able to get to that 1144 number, then gingrich can come to play and say, listen, i want this to be in the republican party platform. i want to have a speaking role. a prime time speaking role. that's what he brings to the table. i think he has to be careful here. he is setting himself up to be a spoiler. so he has to figure out, does he want to be a spoiler or a statesman in his party?

>> let me ask you this. with that said, the new york time has this article on santorum being more subdued. might gingrich serve as some sort of kryptonite?

>> in some ways, that probably could happen. they do have this odd relationship where they're sort of frenemies. this game of stopping mitt romney . i think santorum , he can be subdued one day and he can be a very strident in his language the next. i think that article says that he was very critical of mitt romney , calling him, saying that he was the worst person to go up against obama in his kind of modified that language a little bit. i think santorum has gone back and forth in his language and about mitt romney and about obama . i think we're in a situation where santorum 's back is up against the wall. this wisconsin primary . then it goes to pennsylvania. we've got to see if this will be his last dance.

>> he is doubling his ad buying. we know that his campaign says the demographics of pennsylvania, we're not talk b the urban areas but the more blue collar , white voters who are very conservative these days in that state, might find him more appealing than they did once upon a time . let me put out these endorse. s. marco rubio and former remember that 41 have now officially he said dorised mitt romney . at this point, as it was appointments out, where else would he go? with the bush family , at least, barbara and the former president, they've already given him love for lack of a better description. so this does makes it formal.

>> that's right. and romney actually has a pretty go good relationship with bush senior . so this is not unexpected. i will say the rubio endorsement was very exuberant and that is very effective, more effective than jeb bush 's. you saw the somewhat tepid endorsement, too. in that way, it is something that romney welcomes and he feels like he can use it to turn around his fornts with la teen over voters.

>> no big confetti flying from the sky on any of these cases but good news for him. thank you very much. good to see you.

Fidel Castro, excommunicated in 1962, meets with Pope Benedict

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who once outlawed religion, met with Pope Benedict XVI today. Benedict's visit is part of a new Catholic strategy in a changing Cuba.

By Sara Miller Llana,?Staff writer, Girish Gupta,?Correspondent / March 28, 2012

When the late pope John Paul II met with Fidel Castro in Cuba in 1998, the church had high hopes it could help bring fast political change to the island, as his visit had to his native Poland.

Skip to next paragraph

That never happened. Poland is a far more Catholic country than Cuba, which was once officially atheist. Only half of Cubans identify as Catholic today, according to Pew, and fewer than 10 percent actually practice.

Nearly 15 years later, as Pope Benedict XVI wraps up a three-day trip to the island, the church is ?wiser about the limits of its own ability to catalyze rapid change in Cuba,? says William LeoGrande, a Cuba expert at American University.

Instead, he says, the trip ? including the visit with Fidel Castro ? simply reinforces the strategy the Cuban church has been pursuing: A careful relationship with the government that pushes for more openness and human rights without veering into overt opposition. And while the visit with Fidel Castro lends the former head of state, and his brother and successor Raul Castro, an air of legitimacy, it also underscores how much more of a voice the church has today.

?[The visit with Fidel Castro] is more of a courtesy than it is anything else,? Mr. LeoGrande says. ?Fidel really has been out of the decision making process in any formal way for almost six years now.? In that time, he says, "the church has [developed] much more of a political and social role."

In a public Mass today, the pope denounced religious intolerance in general and later specifically urged more public space for the Cuban Catholic Church. "It must be said with joy that in Cuba steps have been taken to enable the church to carry out her essential mission of expressing her faith openly and publicly," he said. "Nonetheless this must continue forward" for the good of Cuban society.

The pope's visit, his first to Spanish-speaking Latin America, started in Mexico. He arrived in Cuba on Monday to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Cuba's patron saint, Our lady of Charity el Cobre.

US looks to expand agriculture exports to China - San Antonio ...

BEIJING (AP) ? China's fast-growing economy is helping to drive demand for U.S. agricultural products, offering a potential new market for American corn, wine and other goods, a U.S. official said Friday.

Michael Scuse, an acting undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said that while soybeans remain the biggest U.S. agricultural export to China, other products could significantly expand sales.

Scuse was speaking at the end of a weeklong trade mission that brought 39 American agricultural businesses to Chengdu and Shanghai ? the USDA's biggest-ever overseas trade delegation.

China has 20 percent of the world's population but only 9 percent of the world's arable land. Rising incomes have greatly boosted meat consumption, driving demand for feed grains.

U.S. exports to China last year exceeded $103 billion, including $14.7 billion in crops, the U.S. China Business Council reported earlier this week. The bulk of those crop imports are soybeans but demand is growing for other crops, Scuse said.

"This past year, China got into the corn market in a much larger way," Scuse said. "So, now corn also is a major factor in our trade and we're looking hopefully to continue to expand in that area."

He said there is also Chinese interest in U.S. dried distiller's grain, a product of ethanol production that is used for livestock feed.

At the same time, China's new middle class is buying more imported organic produce and luxury goods such as wine though tariffs remain high.

"We have a great possibility, even in spite of the tariffs, to increase our wine sales in China," said Scuse. "If you look at the economic conditions improving so much here ... we think there's tremendous opportunities."

6 Pitfalls in your Love & Money Relationships | Ideal Life Vision

As you are creating your Ideal Life Vision business, you might face some resistance at home or in your other personal relationships. Sometimes change and growth can be perceived by your loved ones as a threat, and so they respond accordingly.

In order to create harmony and safety in your relationships, while growing your business, I suggest you work on both simultaneously so that you can create more purpose, passion and pay in your relationships, which allows you to enjoy them, and don?t simply endure them.

Lately, I?m noticing a trend of 6 common themes that are reoccurring in most of my mentoring client?s lives, and it?s causing huge pitfalls in their marriages. Addressing one or more of these areas will cause dramatic improvement in your married life, which will translate to your business, and overall well-being.

  1. Negative Thinking-? We have 50,000 thoughts per day, and 80 % of those are generated by our subconscious. Our belief systems and thought patterns are revealed here, and most people struggle with pre-dominantly negative thoughts. Our thoughts directly affect our emotions, actions, and ultimately, results. The key is to pattern interrupt the negative thoughts about our spouse, and insert positive statements so that you are reprogramming your brain to frame into a more positive mindset.
  2. Financial Infidelity- Whenever you over spend, spend money secretly, hide money, have accounts your spouse doesn?t know about, etc. you are creating financial infidelity. If you are not transparent about your money, you are sabotaging your relationship. Come clean, get clear and honest with each other.
  3. Focus on ?Don?ts? vs. ?Dos?- I?m seeing an epidemic of people pointing out the 3 things their spouse didn?t do, and not focusing on the 17 things they did do.? Acknowledgment goes a long way, make sure you are balancing your attention to both sides of your loved ones actions.
  4. Structured time- I highly recommend that you have time planned into your day to nurture your marriage and family relationships. With so many things vying for your time, many people fail to carve out time to date their spouse, or hold weekly mastermind meetings to go over your schedule, budget, and problem shooting. You need ?Boyfriend/girlfriend? time every week to keep the romance alive.
  5. Roles & Boundaries- In a business it?s natural to have a defined role and job responsibilities laid out., and it?s very beneficial in marriage as well, especially if you work in business together. When you outline the tasks that need to be done to keep your home running, and agree on who is doing what, then it eliminates the daily confusion or tension around getting tasks done and our expectations met. This is also a great way to identify and delegate tasks that can be done by others, relieving the two of you to do what?s your highest priority; being a spouse, parent and provider.
  6. Enrolling conversations- I?m shocked at how many people are making significant decisions in their life, and expect their spouse to be on board, without really enrolling them to the new changes. If you want to play bigger in life, great- and make sure you share your vision and strategies with your partner so they can support you, and not resist you.

These are small, but significant tweaks you can make in your relationships so that you experience more harmony and success.

As a bonus #7 tip, I suggest getting ongoing education and support for your marriage. Marriage is the #1 investment you make in life, and it needs continual nourishment.? Education + Accountability= Results. I will show you how to set up systems to increase the results in your marriage, create a unique mindset about how to view and approach your spouse, enroll him in what you are doing, and create harmony in your home. Evidence shows that a firm foundation at home is directly proportionate to the success of your business. When your marriage is functioning well, you make more money, period.

In your Lifevision you?ve written segments on what you want to have in your love and money relationships, now you have the opportunity to create it.

If you?d like more training, please consider my Making Love and Money home study course. It contains the recording of my live, 2 day event, and workbook to go through the exercises & training individually. This training was powerful, and feedback from the attendees was that they were able to implement the easy tools and have had fantastic results.? Go to www.makingloveandmoneywork.com for more details.

Thank you for letting me share some training with you, and I hope you use the lessons of the 6 pitfalls to improve your marriage and money situations today.

New databases harvest a rich bounty of information on crop plant metabolism

New databases harvest a rich bounty of information on crop plant metabolism [ Back to EurekAlert! ] Public release date: 29-Mar-2012

Carnegie Institution

Stanford, CA -- The Plant Metabolic Network (http://www.plantcyc.org/), which is based at Carnegie's Department of Plant Biology, has launched four new online databases that offer an unprecedented view of the biochemical pathways controlling the metabolism of corn, soybeans, wine grapes, and cassavafour important species of crop plant. The new databases will serve as a critical resource for scientists working with these species to increase crop production, enhance biofuel development, or explore novel medicines.

Meeting the ever-expanding demand for food, biofuel and phyto-pharmaceutical production will require a comprehensive understanding of the enzymes, biochemical pathways and regulatory networks that control metabolism in plants. The goal of the Plant Metabolic Network is to facilitate such understanding by providing a detailed, genome-scale view of the chemical reactions taking place in plant cells. These metabolic reactions include those that convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into chemical energy, import essential mineral nutrients from the soil into plant roots, aid plants in defending against environmental stress, and otherwise allow plants to maintain life. By providing rich information on these processes, the Plant Metabolic Network enables efforts to elucidate steps in poorly understood plant biochemical processes, as well as discover unique, previously uncharacterized enzymes important to plant life.

The Plant Metabolic Network research team consists of plant scientists, scientific curators, post-doctoral scholars, and student interns. It is led by Carnegie staff scientist Sue Rhee. The group employs a number of approaches to generate the information housed in each database, integrating techniques and concepts from a wide range of fields including molecular sequence analysis, artificial intelligence, statistics, plant molecular biology, and plant biochemistry.

The team created a computational pipeline called E2P2 to perform metabolism-related discovery on sequenced plant genomes in order to place the rapidly expanding pool of plant genomic and transcriptomic sequence data into a metabolic framework. Importantly, the pipeline allows for a consistent, systematic, and high throughput approach for metabolism-related analysis of plant genome data. The data generated by the pipeline is rigorously reviewed using the scientific literature to ensure the quality of each released database. Up to ten more databases will be forthcoming later this year. Corn, soybeans, wine grapes, and cassava were selected for early release because of their economic and agricultural importance to various regions.

"Wine grapes are an important crop for the state of California; corn and soybeans are the number one and two crops of the United States, both as a source of food and biofuel; cassavaalso called manioc and yucais one of the most-common sources of food worldwide and a tremendously important crop for combating hunger," said Dr. Rhee.

"That's why we decided to release the databases for these plants right away, even before we started preparing a manuscript describing this work, to help researchers get started in improving production and yield of these crucial crops."

Protein 'jailbreak' helps breast cancer cells live

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

If the fight against breast cancer were a criminal investigation, then the proteins survivin, HDAC6, CBP, and CRM1 would be among the shadier figures. In that vein, a study to be published in the March 30 Journal of Biological Chemistry is the police report that reveals a key moment for keeping cancer cells alive: survivin's jailbreak from the nucleus, aided and abetted by the other proteins. The research highlights that a protein's location in a cell affects its impact on disease, and offers clear new leads for the investigation.

All four proteins were already under suspicion. Researchers, for example, have already tried to assess what levels of HDAC6 in patients with estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer may mean for their prognosis. The results have been inconclusive. The new research suggests that measuring overall levels may not be enough, said the study's senior author Dr. Rachel Altura, associate professor of pediatrics in The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and a pediatric oncologist at Hasbro Children's Hospital.

"We need to look not only at the levels, but also where is it in the cell," she said.

Altura's emphasis on location comes from what her research team found as they tracked and tweaked the comings and goings of survivin in cells. Inside the nucleus, survivin is no problem. Outside the nucleus, but within the cell, it can prevent normal cell death, allowing cancer cells to persist.

In previous work, Altura and her collaborators established that under normal circumstances, CBP chemically regulates survivin, a process called acetylation, and keeps it in the nucleus. The question in the new work was how survivin gets out.

In a series of experiments, what they observed was that in human and mouse breast cancer cells, HDAC6 gathers at the boundary between the nucleus and the rest of the cell, becomes activated by CBP, then binds survivin and undoes its acetylation. This deacetylation allows survivin to then be shuttled out of the nucleus by CRM1.

In the classic jailbreak, CBP is a corrupt guard who looks the other way as HDAC6, the shovel, is smuggled in. The final accomplice, CRM1, is the tunnel with a getaway car on the other end.

Working the new leads

Altura said the research suggests a clear strategy ? to keep survivin in the nucleus ? and two leads to pursue it, both of which she has already begun working on with collaborators in academia and in the pharmaceutical industry.

One idea is to inhibit HDAC6 in an attempt to prevent it from misregulating the acetylation of survivin. While general HDAC inhibitors are in clinical trials, Altura is optimistic that blocking just HDAC6, using specific inhibitors developed by a colleague in Japan, would have fewer complications.

"You always have to worry about all the things you don't know that you are targeting," she said. "If we can target HDAC6, we can maybe block survivin from coming out of the nucleus and maintain it in its good state."

The other strategy is to block CRM1, Altura said, an idea she is pursuing with a pharmaceutical company in breast cancer cells in the lab. She said preliminary experiments look promising in keeping survivin inside the nucleus and making cancer cells more susceptible to dying.

Scripting Excellence in Higher Education | Beyond the Walls ...

In times when academic excellence and global competence have acquired behemoth importance it behooves to educate the academics about the crucial role assessment and accreditation play in quality assurance in higher education. Also in the pipeline is the move to make accreditation mandatory for all the institutions. Undoubtedly accreditation plays a phenomenal role.

Keeping in sync with the same Welingkar hosted a daylong conference on ?Assessment and Accreditation: Future Possibilities and Challenges. ? In its efforts, it was joined by the All India Council for Technical Education and Directorate of Technical Education. The Conference witnessed leading policy makers, academics and corporates discussing the various issues regarding accreditation and how these would be fine tuned further to render the Indian higher educational system one of the best.

Shri Rajesh Tope, Minister for Education (Maharashtra), Shri.S.S.Mantha, Chairman- AICTE, Dr?? H.A.Ranganath, Director- NAAC were a few of the policymakers who participated in the conference and shared their thought process and incisive insight into some of the policies afoot. From the academia, those present included eminent speakers like the IT marvel Dr F C Kohli, management guru Dr Y K Bhushan, Dr Bhushan Patwardhan- Vice Chancellor of Symbiosis International University, Dr M.R.Rao, dean emeritus ?ISB and many more.

WeSchool, under Dr Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, WeSchool had taken up the initiative, bringing together policymakers, academics and the industry reps on one platform. The three not only brainstormed the various aspects of accreditation but also how the current procedures can be fine-tuned to make quality -adherence a 24/7/365 phenomenon. The conference also sensitized the audience about the mandatory nature of accreditation that it was soon to acquire and the implications of the same.

Dr Uday Salunkhe dwelling on the importance of assessment said it is an effective means of quality assurance in higher education; it provides a common frame of reference and credible information to students and all others including recruiters, faculty and all who have stakes in quality education.? In the times of intense globalization it becomes all the more important that we educate the generation next in a way that ensures their global competence and making accreditation mandatory for all the institutions is a step towards the same.

Dr SS Mantha, elaborating on the importance of vocational education said AICTE will take steps to ensure quality vocational education focusing on skill requirements to ensure sustainable sources of income for marginalized youth. The Council will also support the schools of vocational education. This would also help content building for various sectors based on national vocational education curriculum framework, developing teaching methodologies and pedagogy, training the trainers, methodology for skill assessment and skill accreditation, creation of best practices document in vocational education.

H.A. Ranganath, Director- NAAC in his interactions laid more stress on internal evaluation than external evaluation. Talking of the research carried out in an institution, the criterion will extend to parameters like the number of research papers published in international journals, their citation index in peer journals, impact factor of the journal, h-index and subject index and many more. Also according to him for the extension activities of the universities/institutes, NAAC will look at the social /neighbourhood impact of the institute. Issues like carbon credits, water-harvesting and similar ecological steps will also be taken into account.

The seminar also discussed the role and functions of the National Accreditation Regulatory Authority as mentioned in the recently tabled Bill in the Parliament and how it is bound to throw the door open to private agencies in accreditation. Issues like international accreditation and consequent branding of an institution also were given considerable time and thought. Experts from the respective domains? shared the ?expectations of industry with respect to the process and procedures of accreditation.

Issues You May Face Having An Accident With A Financed Car ...


We would all probably choose to pay for our car with cash but for most people that just isn?t an option. Sometimes we need to get car finance to buy our car and there a number of car finance packages available. These include deals from the showroom where we buy the car, a loan from the high street bank, a special car loan from a specialised company and so on. Whatever the car credit you choose always make sure you do your research first to make sure that you get the best possible rate.

Car insurance might not cover all costs

So lets imagine you have brought a new car from a car dealership with a car loan. You have had your car for around a year when you are involved in an accident and your car is written off. The accident was your fault, so you may be surprised to find that the car insurance you have is not enough to cover the whole cost of the car finance. A lot of people mistakenly assume that their comprehensive insurance package will cover the entire cost of the car, but it?doesn't?include the cost of the finance. This is a very tricky situation and would leave you in a difficult position. Not only have you had your car written off, the insurance company won?t pay for what you owe on the car finance. If you?aren't?able to make up the shortfall then you could be sued by the car credit company and this will seriously damage your credit score.

Gap insurance or PPI

There are ways though that you can avoid this situation. Gap insurance is available for people who might find themselves with this scenario. This will cover the difference between what your car is physically worth to the insurance company and the amount outstanding on the car loan. This insurance isn?t widely advertised but can be a godsend for people who buy cars with car finance and then either get their car stolen or written off. It means that you won?t find yourself out of pocket as the Gap insurance you took out will cover all your financial losses. Another way you can try to protect yourself is to get PPI, payment protection insurance. This will cover you if you are unable to work due to the accident and so are unable to pay your car loan.

Getting car finance is a good idea to enable you to buy the car you really want but you should always be aware of the pitfalls including what happens if you have an accident in a car you are buying on finance. As explained however, even in this case there are ways to avoid losing out financially.

What Science Wants to Know

Image: Illustration by Oliver Munday

Most scholars agree that Isaac Newton, while formulating the laws of force and gravity and in?venting the calculus in the late 1600s, probably knew all the science there was to know at the time. In the ensuing 350 years an estimated 50 million research papers and innumerable books have been published in the natural sciences and mathematics. The modern high school student probably now possesses more scientific knowledge than Newton did, yet science to many people seems to be an impenetrable mountain of facts.

One way scientists have tried to cope with this mountain is by becoming more and more specialized, with limited success. As a biologist, I wouldn?t expect to get past the first two sentences of a physics paper. Even papers in immunology or cell biology mystify me?and so do some papers in my own field, neurobiology. Every day my expertise seems to get narrower. So scientists have had to fall back on another strategy for coping with the mountain of information: we largely ignore it.

That shouldn?t come as a surprise. Sure, you have to know a lot to be a scientist, but knowing a lot is not what makes a scientist. What makes a scientist is ignorance. This may sound ridiculous, but for scientists the facts are just a starting place. In science, every new discovery raises 10 new questions, as playwright George Bernard Shaw sardonically declared in a dinner toast to Albert Einstein.

By this calculus, ignorance will always grow faster than knowledge. Scientists and laypeople alike ?would agree that for all we have come to know, there is far more we don?t know. More important, everyday there is far more we know we don?t know. One crucial outcome of scientific knowledge is to generate new and better ways of being ignorant: not the kind of ignorance that is associated with a lack of curiosity or education but rather a cultivated, high-quality ignorance. This gets to the essence of what scientists do: they make distinctions between qualities of ignorance. They do it in grant proposals and over beers at meetings. As James Clerk Maxwell, probably the greatest physicist between Newton and Einstein, said, ?Thoroughly conscious ignorance ... is a prelude to every real advance in knowledge.?

This perspective on science?that it is about the questions more than the answers?should come as something of a relief. It makes science less threatening and far more friendly and, in fact, fun. Science becomes a series of elegant puzzles and puzzles within puzzles?and who doesn?t like puzzles? Questions are also more accessible and often more interesting than answers; answers tend to be the end of the process, whereas questions have you in the thick of things. I can?t grasp much of immunology even though I have a fancy Ph.D., but the wonderful thing is that most immunologists can?t either?no one knows everything anymore. I can, however, understand the questions that drive immunology. And although I don?t pretend to understand much about quantum physics, I can appreciate how the questions in that field arise and why they are so fundamental. Emphasizing ignorance is inclusive; it makes everyone feel more equal in the same way the infinity of space pares everyone down to size.

Of late this side of science has taken a backseat in the pubic mind to what I call the accumulation view of science?that it is a pile of facts way too big for us to ever hope to conquer. But if scientists would talk about the questions rather than boring your eyes out of their sockets with reams of jargon, and if the media reported not only on new discoveries but the questions they answered and the new puzzles they created, and if educators stopped trafficking in facts that are already available on Wikipedia?then we might find a public once again engaged in this great adventure that has been going on for the past 15 generations.

Wade: 'Therapeutic' to pen book on fatherhood ? SportsFan 100.5 ...

March 28, 2012

MIAMI ? Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat is becoming an author.

William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, announced Wednesday plans to release ?A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger than Basketball? in September. The book talks in part about Wade?s struggles growing up in Chicago and how he?s incorporating some of the lessons he learned into raising his own family.

?For me, it was therapeutic to do this,? Wade told The Associated Press.

?

For me, it was therapeutic to do this.

?
? Dwyane Wade

Wade was awarded sole custody of his two sons in March 2011 after a long court battle with his ex-wife, who remains in the boys? lives. The 2006 NBA Finals MVP and eight-time All-Star said he hopes the book will show fans a side of him that they have yet to see.

?I don?t have to share it with people,? Wade said. ?But I felt there was a need. So many people came up to me in this process, so many fathers, so many men came up to me to congratulate me and to ask me how, how I did it and why I believed I could do it.?

Although the book is about fatherhood, Wade said it also features much of his own childhood. Wade spent much of this past offseason working on the book, which he said will include some story lines that even people close to him do not know.

?We are thrilled and honored to publish Dwyane?s book,? Henry Ferris, a vice president and executive editor at William Morrow, said in a statement. ?He has an extremely important story and message about the role of fathers in children?s lives. And his career in the NBA is also a phenomenal and exciting story.?

Last year, Wade was honored by the National Fatherhood Initiative, for his dedication to his two sons given the demands of being a professional athlete and single father. Earlier this season at All-Star Weekend in Orlando, Wade headlined a roundtable discussion that was part of President Barack Obama?s Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative.

MIAMI HEAT


Even more coverage of the Big 3 and their adventures in Miami. Heat Index ?

Wade has had a fascination with writing for years. When he was in high school, he considered a journalism career and was a sportswriter for the school newspaper. He kept a journal during his college days at Marquette, has dabbled with poetry and once saw an ode to basketball that he wrote turned into an advertising campaign.

?I think the biggest thing when I set out to write a book was just to share my experiences, from when I was a kid, my upbringing, my struggles, my joyous times, to becoming a father,? Wade said. ?I?m trying to compare them, how they?ve been the same in a sense, even though my worlds are totally different. But we?re still dealing with the same things. From rags to riches, it really doesn?t matter.?

Wade said he tried to open up as much as possible in the book, even though it was at times painful for him to relive certain memories. Because the book is not being released for several months, he did not divulge specifics.

?People will get a better understanding of me as a person,? Wade said. ?Even people who might think they know all there is, there?s things you can learn about me that you don?t know. People know that in 2008 I had one of my best seasons, averaged 30 points a game, had some of my best games. But they don?t know what I had to deal with before tipoff or right after the game. It?s not focused on basketball, but it all wraps together and tells a story.?

Student's bikini photo on Facebook results in graduation ban

By Rosa Golijan

On March 30, St. Theresa?s College High School in Cebu City, Philippines will be holding its graduation ceremony. But a 16-year-old student won't be?allowed to attend or walk across a stage with her classmates to receive her diploma ? because she posted a bikini-clad photo of herself on Facebook.

The Associated Press reports that?the student posted a photo which showed her "wearing a bikini while holding a cigarette and a liquor bottle" on her Facebook page recently.?This photo was reportedly "taken during a family outing," but that didn't matter to school officials who barred the girl from attending an upcoming graduation ceremony.

It's worth noting that while the girl won't be allowed to join the graduation ceremony on March 30, she will be allowed to graduate ? ?as she has met academic requirements.?

If her mother has her way, the student might get to participate in graduation rites after all. The Filipino site?GMA News Online points out?that the woman has acquired an attorney and filed a petition?demanding that her daughter be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony.

"Her lawyer said the Facebook account was 'private' and limited to friends so school officials,"?adds Cebu Daily News. The "obtained information ... was 'not for public consumption.'"

According to Cebu Daily News,?the girl's photo was "cited for violating five provisions in the [St. Theresa?s College High School] Student Handbook" which include a rule against "posing and uploading pictures on the Internet that entail ample body exposure" and "engaging in immoral, indecent, obscene or lewd acts."

?I will have my own standards on whether or not it is lewd,? said a judge during a hearing for the petition, says Cebu Daily News. After that same hearing,?the lawyer representing St. Theresa?s College High School clarified the the educational institution's justification for the graduation ban:

[St. Theresa?s College High School] is a Catholic school governed by the teachings of the Catholic Church. We have to see to it that values are formed.?We are not happy with the penalty but we are forced to impose it because we have to form the values of children.

Curling to get to the bottom of colorectal cancer : rubber hose

When most people survive cancer, they just want to put the disease and its grueling treatment behind them. Not Deb Imada.

That's because her cancer was in her behind.Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality, And now she's made it her mission to put colorectal cancer in the forefront of people's minds.

She's doing that by organizing the second annual Bumspiel for Colorectal Cancer to be held at the Royal City Curling Club on Saturday. The event is a fundraiser for the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada. But more importantly, Imada hopes it raises awareness about the disease and how to survive it.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in Canadian men and women combined. Of the approximately 22,We have a fantastic range of Glass Tiles and glass mosaic Tiles.000 Canadians diagnosed with colorectal cancer last year, 8,900 will die from it. Those are grim numbers considering the disease is curable 90 per cent of the time if it's caught early.

It's that last part that hangs most people up, says Imada, who lives in Surrey. It's not easy to talk about your backside, and "people are so fearful about getting a colonoscopy."

In fact, cancer was the furthest thing from Imada's mind when she went to her doctor to get checked out for a possible recurrence of the hemorrhoids that had plagued her after he son was born four years earlier. Her family had no history of colorectal cancer, she'd never had a problem with benign polyps, she was active and she was only 43 years old, seven years younger than the primary risk group.

But when her doctor said she felt a lump during her examination, Imada's world turned upside down.

Four months of tests, two surgeons and five days of radiation treatment later the tumour was removed.

"The waiting is the hardest part," says Imada. "The whole time I felt like a ticking time bomb."

But her battle didn't end there. Six months of chemotherapy stretched to eight. She suffered numerous side-effects including painful numbness in her fingers and the bottoms of her feet. She says there were days she was so physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted, she couldn't get out of bed.

Regular screenings to ensure she remained clear of cancer were emotionally agonizing.

"It's like the doctors say, 'we've cured you but the chances of recurrence are highest in the first two years,'" she says. Every colonoscopy or CT scan, she hoped and prayed for a clean report. She'll continue to be screened for the rest of her life. It's like a fellow patient once told her, "We're out of the woods, but we're not yet out of the forest."

During her battle with colorectal cancer, a colleague at work was also diagnosed with the disease and eventually died from it. That's when she made a promise to him, and to herself, to help spread the word about the disease and the importance of early detection through regular screening.

"It makes me mad when someone dies from this because it's so curable.An Air purifier is a device which removes contaminants from the air."

A recreational curler at the RCCC before she was diagnosed, she glommed onto the idea of a "bumspiel" because her son had shown interest in the sport while watching the Vancouver Winter Olympics.Dimensional Mailing magic cube for Promotional Advertising, The clever play on words helped as well, she says.

It's a non-competitive event that Imada promises will be just as much fun for beginners as hardcore stonethrowers.Wireless Indoor Positioning System have become very popular in the system. It's even attracted a team of four doctors from the Netherlands who specialize in colorectal cancer and found out about the bumspiel while searching the Internet. There's also door prizes as well as an award for the top fundraiser.
