I hope you finished all the ice cream cake.On a serious note: Now that your May Scope article is out I'm hoping your bloggers understand why you haven't had time the last couple months to keep up.Your Dad and I have so appreciated having you with us those weekends and also I can't tell you how much it meant to me to have you with me at Mayo for those three days of procedures.

Keita bicycles around the six villages in his area carrying a small white box with a red cross on it. Inside are little white sticks and needles.

Of 14 tests administered by Keita on the day IRIN met him, 12 had malaria. Keita then handed the mother six Artemisin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) pills and told her to give the child two tablets a day.

This system subordinated workers, consumers and the environment to the supremacy of globalized commerce.

Between 1996 and 2000, he drove legislation through Congress that concentrated more power in the hands of giant agribusiness, large telecommunications companies and the biggest jackpot-opening the doors to gigantic mergers in the financial industry.

The FA could still let a potential FA Cup underdog get that fourth bid in 2009 if they wanted, but it seems they bow to the Big Four, just like everyone else. More's the pity.Today's Premier League scores are after the jump.Manchester City 4-2 Bolton. For a while there, Gary Megson's motley crew looked like they might break Man City's home winning streak.
