Obama stays close in race as Republican rivals lag
The democratic candidates have already positioned in this run, made clear their political options and the politics they stand for. McCain on the other side still struggles in which way he wants to relate to G.W. Bush and his unpopular politics. Instead of hesitating about such details he should start explaining people what his actual choice in politics is. There are many fields; he certainly should position in the question of Iraq and explain how he wishes to give Americans new hope in a mostly lost battle, either by ending it as fast as possible or by saying how he wants to put in useful means to make progress. More political topics occur, he should position in social issues. America still has a high number of low-income citizens and especially their children who have no health-insurance.
Governor's Office Re-Opens In Western Mass.
In the vestibule, empty shelves soon will be filled with new brochures on state programs, grant applications, tourism and other topics of possible interest to visitors. Cardona, 39, a Springfield native appointed in January to run the office, said she receives a steady stream of calls from throughout the four-county region. Many people have questions about state services or suggestions on improving programs. Others need help with everything from starting a new business to understanding the state's health care insurance requirements. As word has spread that the office reopened, she said, drop-in visits have increased, too. "Our goal is to make this office as valuable a resource as possible," Cardona said. "The governor has clearly said his intention is to be the governor for the entire state, and I do believe he'll be using this office frequently." Full-time branch offices are common in many larger states nationwide, Massachusetts and Connecticut are the only New England states that have them.
Weak housing market forces County sawmill closures
Wanda Campbell of Washburn is losing her job of eight months at the Fraser-owned sawmill at Masardis. It's not closing, but a worker from the Ashland mill slated for closure has seniority and will take her job. Her husband, Ron, works at the same mill and may get bumped from his job too. "This affects everything," Wanda Campbell said. "We are still thinking [about] what we will do. Everything is costing more — food, fuel, the possible loss of health insurance. It will be an even tougher winter than we were facing [already]." A total of 72 Fraser workers will lose their jobs in Ashland for up to four months because of low lumber prices caused by the weakened U.S. housing market and lumber imports, according to an announcement made Jan. 16. The duration of the closure will be determined by the market conditions.
Trump has made us look like a nation of parochial bumblers
Money talks; and with people like Trump it bellows and blusters. Why did Alex Salmond meet the Trumpeteers the day before the unprecedented decision to call in the planning application. Well, again, it is quite in order for the local MP/MSP to meet with the people responsible for a billion pound housing development with a nice golf course attached. Was he showing favouritism? Well, if you mean did he favour the development, the answer is manifestly "yes". Did he know when he met Trump's men that the planning decision was going to be called in the next day? Probably not, though I'm sure he knew it was going to be called in soon by Swinney. Had he known the exact timing of the action I suspect he would have rescheduled his meeting with the Trump gang for appearance's sake.

Aggressive Diabetes Therapy Lowers Death Risk, Study Finds
The study, involving more than 10,000 people, was dubbed the ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) trial, and was stopped early on safety concerns after researchers found an increased risk of mortality in those whose blood sugar was aggressively managed. Although the death rates in both treatment arms of the ACCORD trial were lower than is seen in the general population, 257 people who were on therapy to get their blood sugar levels in the non-diabetic range died versus 203 people receiving standard treatment. "In the ACCORD trial we wanted to learn, does aggressive glucose lowering decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease? But, we found that in patients whose [blood sugar levels are] high, if we try to drive it to normal, there may be harm," said Dr.
