BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) ? Dr. Catalin Cirstoveanu runs a cardio unit with state-of-the-art equipment at a Bucharest children's hospital. But not a single child has been treated in the year-and-a-half since it opened.
The reason?
Medical staff he needs to bring in to run the machinery would have expected bribes.
So Cirstoveanu has launched a lonely crusade to save babies who come to him for care: He flies them to western Europe on budget flights so they can be treated by doctors who don't demand kickbacks.
That's what Cirstoveanu did last week for 13-day-old Catalin, who needed heart surgery. Cirstoveanu packed a small bag, slipped emergency breathing equipment into the baby carrier and caught a cheap flight to Italy, where doctors were waiting to perform the surgery.
The operation was successful. Two days later, though, a 3-week-old baby that Cirstoveanu whisked away to the same clinic in northwestern Italy ? with tubes piercing her tiny frame ? died before she was able to have lymph gland surgery.
"I was very worried it wouldn't work," said Cirstoveanu. "But in Romania, she would have died anyway."
The soft-spoken Cirstoveanu is fighting an exhausting and largely solitary battle against a culture of corruption that's so embedded in Romania that surgeons demand bribes to save infants' lives and it's even necessary to slip cash to a nurse to get your sheets changed.
It's one of the reasons why the country's infant mortality rate is more than double the European Union average, with one in 100 children not reaching their first birthday.
"To be honest, it's so deeply rooted into our system that it's really difficult to eliminate," Health Minister Ladislau Ritli said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Officially, the new cardio unit that Cirstoveanu runs at the Marie Curie children's hospital isn't functioning because jobs have not been filled. The real reason appears to be that Cirstoveanu has banned staff from taking bribes. That means that high-tech machinery lies idle because qualified experts do not bother to apply for jobs, as they know they cannot supplement their incomes with bribes.
The zero-tolerance policy to corruption makes for a grueling work schedule for Cirstoveanu, who needs to shuttle babies abroad for surgery ? and take care of them on the flight. During the two-hour flight with the girl who died, Cirstoveanu fixed tubes, sedated her and hand-pumped oxygen to keep her alive.
In the less than 24 hours Cirstoveanu had in Bucharest between returning from Catalin's trip and departing with the little girl, he even squeezed in a shift at the Marie Curie clinic.
Patients in Romania routinely discuss the "stock market" rate for bribes. Surgeons can get hundreds of euros (dollars) and upward for an operation, while anesthetists get roughly a third of that, depending also on what a patient can afford. Nurses receive a few euros (dollars) from patients each time they administer medications or put in drips. Getting a certificate stamped to have an operation abroad can easily cost hundreds, if not thousands of euros (dollars) if you ask the wrong doctor.
While the Romanian state appears unwilling to do anything, it often ends up footing the bill.
At the Marie Curie unit, Catalin's operation would have cost ?2,000 to ?3,000 ($2,700 to $4,000) without bribes. Romanian state health insurance is paying 10 times that for his operation in Italy ? a small fortune in a country where the average monthly salary is 350 euros after tax.
Many disillusioned doctors have abandoned the country, which spends just 4 percent of its gross domestic product in health care ? about half of the percentage of GDP spent by Western European countries.
Last year, some 2,800 Romanian doctors ? discouraged by the antiquated and corrupt health system and low wages ? left to work in western Europe, according to the Romanian College of Doctors.
"Ideally, we would have decent salaries and nobody would be tempted to accept informal payments," said the Ritli, the health minister. "And the population would be educated so people would believe that this is not the only way to get proper health care."
Bribes across Romania accounted for some $1 million a day in 2005, according to a World Bank report; more recent estimates are not available. The culture of bribes ? or "informal payments" as they're commonly known ? is tacitly accepted.
But anger is rising. One of Marie Curie's donors, Procter & Gamble, has several times gone back to the hospital and the Health Ministry to ask questions about when the unit will start functioning.
The tragic plight of Romanian children is nothing new.
In a misguided effort to boost Romania's then-population of 23 million, Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu banned birth control and abortion, which led to thousands of infants being left in orphanages in harrowing conditions broadcast around the world after his execution in 1989.
Nearly a quarter-century later, the country's shortcomings are again being seen through the gaze of children and powerless parents trapped in a web of corruption.
For those whose children die shortly after birth, grief is magnified when they do not receive a birth certificate or even see their babies alive. Angela Vasile, whose baby daughter, Cristina, only lived one day, saw her infant just once after she'd died, lying on a metal table.
She was then put in a ward of nursing mothers, adding to her anguish.
Bianca Brad, a Romanian celebrity, spoke out publicly about the pain of losing her baby at birth ? calling the situation "criminal." She founded the "EMMA Association" to help grieving parents, offering support for those who do not receive psychological counseling and remain locked in years of grief.
Yet remarkable things are happening at the Marie Curie Hospital. Cirstoveanu is personally overseeing the survival of Baby Andrei, an 8-month-old Roma baby born to underage parents. His intestines are almost nonexistent.
The tiny infant who weighs about 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms) with limbs that look like gnarled twigs was given only days to live. His bright eyes, alert gaze and lively personality have endeared him to all staff who comfort him in their arms as much as they can outside of his incubator.
Andrei can only have lifesaving surgery in the United States ? and a fee of hundreds of thousands of dollars is proving prohibitive. Nurses are so fond of the bright boy that they are playing the state lottery in an attempt to raise funds for his surgery.
Even in this grim setting, there are signs that doctors are mobilizing in a bid to make things better.
Anca Mandache, a child heart surgeon, left her career in France to offer her services to the Marie Curie hospital, taking a salary one tenth of what she would have earned there. Others also are expressing an interest in working at the clinic
Cirstoveanu, who also flies sick babies to Germany and Austria, says he feels "ashamed" that he has to go to the lengths he does to save children, but talks with pride of the moment he sees the joy of relieved parents whose babies survive.
They are in awe of his dedication.
"Cirstoveanu is more than a hero ? he is a god for us and the children," said Gheorghe Meliusoiu, Catalin's 28-year-old woodcutter father. "If there were more like him, many lives would be saved."

I have been meaning to read a John Green novel for a very long time; I keep hearing people rave about what a wonderful writer he is and how he is one of the best YA authors out there.? So, even though I have stacks and stacks of teen/YA books here at my house, waiting to be read, I detoured to the Teen section of our library last week to search for John Green.? None of his better-known award-winners were on the shelf (I have a feeling they rarely are!), but I found one book, An Abundance of Katherines, that I brought home and read.? I enjoyed this heartfelt, humorous novel very much.
Colin Singleton has just graduated from high school, but he is not celebrating.? He has just been dumped by his girlfriend, Katherine, one in a long string of break-ups with Katherines ? nineteen to be exact.? Colin is a child prodigy who started to read at age two.? The problem is that he feels like everyone else has caught up to him now, and what is a child prodigy who is no longer a child?? He fears he is no longer special and will never do anything that really matters in life.
To cheer him up ? and amuse himself ? Colin?s best friend, Hassan, suggests a road trip to get Colin?s mind off the latest Katherine.? Hassan is an overweight Muslim who was as much of an outcast as Colin when the two met in middle school and became each other?s first ? and only ? best friend.? So, the two set off in Satan?s Hearse, their name for Colin?s enormous Oldsmobile, and leave Chicago.
They encounter new friends, a town in the middle of nowhere Tennessee, a dead archduke?s grave, and a feral hog, but Colin is still obsessing over the break-up and his long, bleak history with Katherines.? He decides to approach the problem mathematically, coming up with a Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability that he hopes will allow anyone to predict the course (and eventual demise) of any relationship.? Then, maybe, he will have done something that matters.
This novel has a great sense of humor, and the witty repartee between Colin and Hassan is endlessly amusing.? But there are also plenty of solid, real-life emotions here, as both boys grapple with their insecurities and grow emotionally during the summer.? The issues here are those that every young person deals with ? the meaning of friendship, the quest for love, and battles with self-doubt.? Overall, it was a very entertaining and satisfying novel.? I look forward to reading more John Green books!

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A common class of pesticide is causing problems for honeybees and bumblebees, important species already in trouble, two studies suggest.
But the findings don't explain all the reasons behind a long-running bee decline, and other experts found one of the studies less than convincing.
The new research suggests the chemicals used in the pesticide ? designed to attack the central nervous system of insects ? reduces the weight and number of queens in bumblebee hives. These pesticides also cause honeybees to become disoriented and fail to return to their hives, the researchers concluded.
The two studies were published online Thursday in the journal Science.
Just last week activists filed a petition with more than a million signatures asking the government to ban the class of pesticides called neonicotinoids. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it is re-evaluating the chemicals and is seeking scientific help.
For more than a decade, pollinators of all types have been in decline, mostly because of habitat loss and perhaps some pesticide use. In the past five years, a new mysterious honeybee problem, colony collapse disorder, has further attacked hives. But over the last couple of years, that problem has been observed a bit less, said Jeff Pettis, lead bee researcher at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's lab in Beltsville, Md.
Other studies have also found problems with the pesticide class singled out in the new research. These "strengthen the case for more thorough re-assessing," said University of Illinois entomology professor May Berenbaum, who wasn't involved in the new studies. "But this is not a slam-dunk indictment that could compel a ban. It's complicated."
In the honeybee study, French scientists glued tiny radio transmitters to the bees managed for orchard pollination. The bees were tracked when they came and left the hive. Those that were dosed with neonicotinoids were two to three times more likely not to return.
"Where'd they go? We have no clue about that actually," said study author Mickael Henry, a bee ecologist for the French national agriculture institute. His study said the pesticide likely contributes to colony collapse.
In the bumblebee study, British researchers dosed bees with the pesticide and moved their hives out into the field. After six weeks, they found the pesticide-treated hives were 10 percent lighter than those that weren't treated. And more important, the hives that had pesticides lost about 85 percent of their queens.
"Queen production is in some sense the be all and end all," study author David Goulson of the University of Stirling in Scotland said.
Bayer Crop Sciences, which is the leading producer of neonicotinoids, says it is used on 90 percent of the corn grown in the U.S. and is safe. Bayer eco-toxicologist David Fischer said the honeybee study used unrealistically high doses of the chemicals, amounts that would not be used on crops bees normally pollinate.
Berenbaum, Pettis and a third outside scientist said the bumblebee study was more convincing than the honeybee research because it used lower doses and didn't make as many assumptions.
Bayer's Fischer said perhaps bumblebees are more sensitive to the pesticide and that issue is worthy of more study. But he said his company is one of the biggest canola growers in Canada and it uses the pesticide. The honeybees that pollinate Bayer's fields are "some of the healthiest bees in Canada," he said.
But environmental activists and some beekeepers are convinced the pesticide is a problem.
"The simple fact is, we know enough to take decisive action on this class of pesticides which covers well over 143 million acres of U.S. countryside," said Heather Pilatic, co-director of the Pesticide Action Network North America.
The EPA, in a prepared statement said the decline in bee health, is due to "complex interactions" that involve inadequate food sources, diseases caused by parasites and viruses, habitat loss and bee management practices, as well as pesticides.
Bees are needed to pollinate fruit, vegetables and nuts. Without them experts say our diets would be very bland. Honeybees, which aren't native to America, are managed by professional beekeepers, carted from farm to orchard and raised to produce honey. Bumblebees, native to this country, are wild pollinators.
Without bees, Berenbaum said, "we'd be a scurvy-ridden society."

Associated Pressmovie times serene branson matthew mcconaughey to catch a predator davenport chris hansen ehlers danlos syndrome
Director: Vishal Mahadkar
Cast: Kunal Khemu, Amrita Puri
burrp! Says: **1/2

Bollywood believes in formulas and the Bhatts just swear by them. So if it?s a film from the Bhatt camp, you can safely assume that they are presenting a tried and tested story.
Blood Money hardly has anything that you would not expect. Just 30 minutes into the film and you will be able to predict the end. The film sticks to the formula so much that it actually forgets that the audience is expecting something unexpected. The film just plays it very safe.
The story-line of Blood Money is Shah Rukh Khan?s Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman re-loaded and remixed. It?s the same story adapted (without permission we are sure) and presented in a different backdrop.
Kunal Khemu plays a wide-eyed Indian called Kunal Kadam who has landed in Cape Town (South Africa) for the first time to work for a diamond trading company. He soon manages to catch the eye of his boss with his selling skills. The boss tells him that that his willingness to succeed and the fire in his belly remind him of his early days when he was struggling to set up his business in Cape Town. Sounding similar to Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman? Well?
Apart from being predictable, the film moves at a very slow pace. Kunal slowly gets entangled into the web of his boss? business which includes a lot of underhand dealings. These dealings soon assume larger proportions when Kunal discovers that his boss strikes business with criminals and terrorists too. From that time on, it is just a matter of ?slow time? when Kunal would declare war on his boss. Obviously, he did and that?s the climax of the film.
Yes, of course there?s some personal drama in the film. But it is more like what you would see in a TV serial these days. Remember how Shah Rukh Khan ?almost? strayed with Amrita Singh and Juhi Chawla almost left him when she discovered it? Ditto with Kunal. His wife (played by Amrita Puri) discovers that he has cheated on her with Mia Udeya. The tension between Kunal and Amrita peaks when Kunal is going through his worst in office. Of course, everything gets better as Kunal begins to triumph again. We are not giving the entire storyline out because that is the only unexpected twist that the film is perhaps banking on.
Kunal tries very hard to do a decent job and manages it in the end. Amrita Puri didn?t have much to do ? she just had to be either very happy or very sad, which she barely managed. Mia Udeya only had a few anglicised dialogues in the film and she failed to deliver even that. But one thing that was expected of her ? get into a skimpy bikini with the camera lovingly caressing her shapely thighs ? she has carried off the bikini scene with ease.
Every film has some obvious flaws that you cannot miss even if you shut your eyes. In this film, it is Kunal?s ever changing hair-style. If he has, long locks in one shot, he has a short crop in another one. Obviously this film took a long time to shoot and Kunal kept on changing his hair-style through the shooting. One wonders how this escaped Vishal Mahadkar?s attention. The curious case of Kunal Khemu?s hair will definitely not miss you even if you try to miss it.
In the end, the film is a traditional fare for which you don?t need to twitch any of your brain muscles. It is just what it is supposed to be: a no-brainer Bollywood film that tells you a simple, straight-forward story. It?s not a good film but it?s not very bad either.
Watch it this weekend. It tells a story that you have already liked before.

File the Ricoh Aficio SP C240SF ($400 street) under (mostly) pleasant surprises. Aimed at small to medium-size offices and workgroups with relatively heavy-duty print needs, it delivers fast speed for the price, ample paper handling, and acceptable output quality across the board. It doesn't quite rise to the level of Editors' Choice, but it comes as close as it can get and still be on the wrong side of the line.
In some ways, the C240SF offers more than either the Dell 2155cn ($549.99 direct, 4 stars) or Dell 1355cnw Multifunction Color Printer ($419.99 direct, 4 stars), two Editors' Choice competitors. Where it misses the Editors' Choice boat is with small, but annoying, issues. One unpleasant surprise, for example, is that the default installation option doesn't install the PC Fax driver.
This oversight means that if you if don't notice the separate option for the fax driver when you first install the printer, you're probably going to need to call Ricoh to find out how to get the feature working. Worse, though, is that if you don't know that PC faxing is supposed to be available, you could easily use the printer for its entire lifetime and never find out that you don't have to print documents before you can fax them.
Basics
The good news is that everything else works without problems. In addition to printing and faxing from your PC (once you figure out how to install the fax driver), you can scan to your PC, including over a network, and use the C240SF for standalone copying and faxing. Welcome extras include the ability to scan directly to a USB key and print from PictBridge cameras. In addition, a 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF) supplements the letter-size flatbed for easy scanning of legal-size pages and multi-page documents.
The C240SF's paper handling is also a strong point, with a 250-sheet tray and duplexer (for printing on both sides of the page) standard, along with a one-sheet manual feed tray so you can feed individual sheets of a different paper stock. If you need more capacity, you can get a 500-sheet second tray ($149 list), for a total 750 sheets.
Setup, Speed, and Output Quality
As you might expect from the paper handling features, the C240SF is physically hefty. It weighs in at 66.2 pounds, which means you'll probably want some help moving it into place. It's also a little too large, at 18.7 by 16.5 by 19.4 inches (HWD), to comfortably share a desk with. If you have a spot for it, however, setup is standard fare. For my tests, I connected it to a wired network and ran the tests from a Windows Vista system.
![]()
One of the more pleasant surprises for the C240SF was its fast speed. Ricoh rates the engine at 16 pages per minute (ppm) for both black and white and color, which should be close to what you'll see when printing text files without graphics or photos. On our business applications suite, however, its effective speed leaves printers with faster engine ratings in the dust.
On our business applications suite, I timed it (using QualityLogic's hardware and software) at an effective 6.3 ppm, essentially tied with or a touch faster than the Dell 2155cn, which is rated at 24 ppm and scored 5.9 ppm on our tests. (The 0.4 ppm difference isn't significant.) Even the far more expensive Editors' Choice Lexmark X548dte ($1749 direct, 4 stars) was only a little faster, at 7.0 ppm
The C240SF's output quality isn't a strong point, but it's acceptable across the board?at the low end of par for a color laser MFP for text, just below par for graphics, and par for photos. Text quality is good enough for most business applications as long as you don't have an unusual need for small fonts, which in this context means smaller than 6 points for typical fonts used in business documents.
Graphics output has a tendency to lose thin lines, but is generally good enough for any internal use. Photos approach true photo quality, making them good enough for a client or company newsletter, for example.
If you need high quality across the board?for printing your own trifold brochures, for example?you should be looking elsewhere. But if your primary need is for an MFP that's suitable for relatively heavy-duty print needs in a small office, the Ricoh SP C240SF's fast speed, good paper handling, and acceptable output quality, may well be precisely the right fit.

Jonathan Adler asks the question: why did legal elites underestimate the case against the mandate?
You might want to give quick and flippant answers?such as, for instance, ?because they?re stupid and biased??but that really doesn?t tell us much. Legal elites may be biased (as is just about everyone), but they?re most definitely not stupid, at least not in the academic sense.
The answers Adler gives are much more interesting. His first point is that legal academics are often too far removed from the realities of actual practice; the ivory tower effect and all that. His second is that legal academics tend to on the left, which creates an unavoidable echo chamber effect that limits them. Related to this is the following, which I think is a brilliant insight:
As I?ve heard Paul Clement (among others) explain, you can?t effectively advocate your own position until you truly understand the other side. This can be difficult to do, particularly when we have strong feelings about a subject.
This not only applies to law but is equally true for almost everything, including how we conduct ourselves in our personal affairs.
Since my ?change? experience, I?ve been more and more convinced that many liberals do not try to understand conservatives, or to pay attention to the actual substance and weight of their arguments. Rather, they tend to dismiss them out of hand as biased and/or self-centered and/or cruel, without understanding the reasoning behind them. And although conservatives like to think they?re above doing the same in return, I think many conservatives fail to understand where liberals are coming from. I like to think (rightly or wrongly) that I understand both a bit better than most, because I?ve looked at liberals and conservatives from both sides now.
The differences between the philosophical underpinnings of conservatism and liberalism are things I?ve explored before, many times, as have so many others. But right now it will suffice to say that those differences have to do with big questions like the nature (bad? good? neutral?) and perfectibility of humankind, how best to achieve goals (through government or individual action), and the importance of liberty and what is the price we are willing to pay for it.

I distribute documentaries and have a total of nearly 70 titles books and movies. I use these in two ways. First as a distributor I want these seen and read first and foremeost. They are cutting edge and attempt to answer hard questions Americans and people the world over are asking about what in the hell is going on in this country. Secondly as such I give them to my affiliates in MammothList to copy and give/send to their affiliates.
The site is here http://www.mammothlist.net/?r=12241 it costs $ 12 and you get the works. There is a seperate site that I use that you can access for additional information I?ll even throw in a free Star Trek Transporter Chamber to the next 10 people to sign up.

In April, I joined an industry leader in health and wellness. I am very pleased with it. They have a generous commission, 70% on the first order from a new customer and 21% after that.
I don?t have to carry inventory as the customer buys directly from the company. There is no selling to family and friends as the company gets the customers for me from their infomercials.
It is in CANADA and USA only.
