Mac Miller Helps Rookie MC Battle Cancer On The Mic

'There's a kid battling one of the toughest diseases in the world, yet he's courageous enough to talk about it in his music,' Miller tells MTV News of Yung Ka.
By Rob Markman

At the open of his 2010 track "The Spins," Mac Miller urges kids to follow their dreams, but the Pittsburgh MC does more than just give sound advice. Recently the Blue Slide Park rapper and his producer E. Dan linked up with aspiring MC Bobby Stewart, a.k.a. Yung Ka, to show him the ropes around the studio.

Stewart, who is suffering from a form of cancer called T-cell lymphoma, first met Miller at Mac's December 2011 homecoming concert in Pittsburgh after the rapper presented the Make-A-Wish Foundation with a check for $50,000.

"It's cool what I did, but the story here is him; the story is that there's a kid that's battling one of the gruesomest, toughest diseases in the world, yet he's courageous enough to talk about it in his music," Mac told MTV News when we caught up with him at the Bamboozle Music Festival in New Jersey on May 18. "This is someone who really talks about his sh-- in his music, like all the stages of cancer, to the point where it's uncomfortable for some to listen to because it's that much real, it's too real, it's that painful."

Miller served as a mentor for the 18-year-old rapper, but he didn't want to muddle the moment by guest-rapping on Ka's personal track. "I just wanted to do what I could do to mentor him and help him put a song together and give him what I know," he said. "I didn't want to step in on the song because to be real, he did a whole song about cancer, and then what am I gonna come in with on the third verse?"

The song hasn't been released yet, but last week Pittsburgh's WTAE Action News paid a visit to ID Labs, the studio where Mac, E. Dan and Ka recorded the track, and caught up with the up-and-coming MC.

"To be with Mac is a blessing," Ka said. "His lyrics are amazing. Hip-hop is my passion. To be able to be with Mac Miller ... he is a Pittsburgh legend. Wiz Khalifa shout-out."

Tim Cook joined Apple because even 'when customers got mad at Apple, they'd continue to buy'

It's epic storytelling time at AllThingsD 10 as audience Q&A has begun, with Apple CEO Tim Cook opening up on why he came to join the company in the first place in response to a question from Lance Ulanoff of Mashable. To hear him tell it, an executive search firm came calling and he wasn't pressed -- until five minutes into his meeting with Steve Jobs. We'll let him tell it:

It was a very interesting meeting. Steve had hired an executive search firm to find someone to run operations. They kept calling, and eventually I said 'Okay, I'll talk.' I flew out Friday on a redeye for a Saturday morning meeting with Steve. The honest-to-God truth, five minutes into the conversation I wanted to join Apple. I was shocked. Why did I want to do it? He painted a story and a strategy that he was taking Apple deep into consumer when I knew others were doing the exact opposite. I never thought following the herd was brilliant. He told me a bit about what would late be named the iMac, and I saw brilliance in that. I saw someone unaffected with money, and that has always impressed me when people do indeed have it. Those three things to me to throw caution to the wind and do it. I went back, and resigned immediately.

Did I see the iPad and iPhone? No. What I saw was this: Apple was the only technology company that I knew of, including the one I was currently at, that when a customer got mad at a company, they'd continue to buy. If people got mad at Compaq, they'd buy Dell. If you were mad at Dell, you'd buy IBM. But an Apple customer was a unique breed; there's this emotion that you just don't see in technology in general. You could see it and feel it at Apple. When I looked at the balance sheet of the company, I thought I could do something in turning around a great American company.

Whether you call it the reality distortion field or simply a strong brand attachment, it was enough, along with Steve Jobs' vision, to lure Tim Cook to work at Apple even when things weren't going so well back in 1998. Can he keep the shield generators running as CEO? Time will tell.

Stray dog follows cyclists for 1,139 miles

A stray dog in China has finally found a new home after following a team of cyclists for more than 1,100 miles.

"She was lying, tired, on the street around Yajiang, Sichuan province," cyclist Zhang Heng, 22, told China Daily. "So we fed her, and then she followed our team.

The small white dog, named Xiao Sa, followed the cyclists over 12 mountains and even caught a ride in one of the rider's baskets for parts of the 1,139-mile journey.

Zhang says he would like to adopt Xiao Sa, who has more than 40,000 fans on a blog set up to chronicle her journey from Kangding, Sichuan province in China, to Lhasa, Tibet.

"I would like to take the dog home and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time," Zhang said. "She needs a home."

Another cyclist took Xiao Sa to a veterinarian for a checkup.

"Everything is fine with her, including her nose, teeth. She's not affected by altitude sickness," veterinarian Yang Bo, told CNTV

Tolkien's Advice About Relationships: Writing Real Romance ...

J.R.R. Tolkien and his wife Edith.

J.R.R. Tolkien had three sons and one daughter, and in a letter to his son Michael he discusses his views on women?s issues, marriage and the truth about men in relationships. ?In this letter written in March 1941, Tolkien is very explicit, and very wise on the subject.

As a writer, we can glean from his ideas the truth about relationships and challenge ourselves to write romantic stories that are more realistic and much more complex in nature.

1. ?Chivalry is Fantasy ? Tolkien writes: ?There is in our Western culture the romantic chivalric tradition still strong, though as a product of Christendom (yet by no means the same as Christian ethics) the times are inimical to it. ?It idealizes ?love? ? and as far as it goes can be very good, since it takes in far more than physical pleasure, and enjoins if not purity, at least fidelity, and so self-denial, ?service?, courtesy, honor, and courage? This is, of course, false and at best make-believe? (p. 48-49). ?Tolkien believes that this type of love is best kept to the fantasy of fiction and is not possible in the real world. ?It works great to make lovers swoon, and it is nice to dream about it, but he says that chivalric love makes a man forget a woman?s desires by placing her on a pedestal, idealizing her until she is not real. ??It takes, or at any rate has in the past taken, the young man?s eye off women as they are, as companions in shipwreck not guiding stars? (p. 49). ?It is the idealized woman on the cover of Cosmo who is airbrushed until she is a Barbie doll. ?Lately, as in the case of the?Twilight novels, this ideal is reversed so that the female places the male on the pedestal. ?Edward is the perfect guy who does not exist. ?Tolkien says that what this does is ?make young folk look for a ?love? that will keep them always nice and warm in a cold world, without any effort of theirs; and the incurably romantic go on looking even in the squalor of the divorce courts? (p. 49). ?It can only lead to disaster. ?Should our fiction teach our young the truth or lead them down a path of fantasy that destroys any hope of a true relationship in the future? ?I say tell the truth.

2. ?Observations About Women ? Tolkien writes: ?The sexual impulse makes women (naturally when unspoiled more unselfish) very sympathetic and understanding, or especially desirous of being so (or seeming so), and very ready to enter into all the interests, as far as they can, from ties to religion, of the young man they are attracted to? Under this impulse they can in fact often achieve very remarkable insight and understanding, even of things otherwise outside their natural range; for it is their gift to be receptive, stimulated, fertilized (in many other matters than the physical) by the male?It is their natural avenue to love? (p. 49). ?According to Tolkien, women are unique from men in that they have the innate ability to love regardless of the situation or how many times they have been hurt by the one they love. ?They are more forgiving than men in this regard, and it is in their nature to not strike back and that women only do so because the men in their lives have warped this natural nature. ?He says that ?women who are flighty, or even plain wanton ? I don?t refer to mere flirtatiousness, the sparring practice for the real combat, but to women who are too silly to take even love seriously, or are actually so depraved as to enjoy ?conquests?, or even enjoy the giving of pain ? but these are abnormalities, even though false teaching, bad upbringing, and corrupt fashions may encourage them? (p. 50). ?He does not blame the woman for her ?unnatural? behavior, but her surroundings. ?Women naturally love.

3. ?Tolkien as Feminist ? The most interesting thing he has to say about women is this: ?A young woman, even one ?economically independent? as they say now (it usually really means economic subservience to male commercial employers instead of to a father or a family), begins to think of the ?bottom drawer? and dream of a home, almost at once. ?If she really falls in love, the shipwreck may end on the rocks. ?Anyway, women are much less romantic and much more practical?They do not want a guiding star. ?They may idealize a plain young man into a hero; but they do not really need any such glamour either to fall in love or remain in it. ?It they have any delusion it is that they can ?reform? men? (p. 50). ?The first idea is feminist in that it shows that he sees women who are successful in the business world as still working in a patriarchal society according to the roles that men have defined for them. ?He seems to use a disdainful tone toward women?s roles being defined by the men in a male dominated society.

4. ?Observations About Men ? Tolkien writes: ?No man, however truly he loved his betrothed as bride as a young man, has lived faithful to her as a wife in mind and body without deliberate conscious exercise of the?will, without self-denial? When the glamour wears off, or merely works a bit thin, they think they have made a mistake, and that the real soul-mate is still to find. ?The real soul-mate too often proves to be the next sexually attractive person that comes along? (p. 51). ?Men are driven by one thing (and we all know what that is) and it is a struggle for a man to stay with one woman his entire life. ?I can say that from experience it is the love for my wife as a person that has kept me with her these 14 years. ?I suppose there is a little of the chivalric within me, but the reason I stay faithful to my wife and fight the natural desire of looking at other women is because she and I have formed not just a relationship of lovers but a relationship along the nature of what a best friend would be. ?It is no wonder that so many marriages end in divorce. ?Men are naturally prone to wander. ?Tolkien continues: ?Only a?very wise man at the?end of his life could make a sound judgement concerning whom, amongst the total possible chances, he ought most profitably have married! ?Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes; in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might have found more suitable mates. ?But the ?real soul-mate? is the one you are actually married to? (p. 51). ?Men need to realize that the person they married is indeed someone who is perfect for them if the reasons they married them are pure and not merely sexual. ?The problem with marriage today is that people do not marry their best friend, but their best sex partner. ?If we all married our best friend, our marriages would work out much better.

5. ?Real Relationships Hurt ? There is an element of risk in any relationship, but our society has put padding on all things that could hurt us, and so we automatically think that our relationships should be the same. ?Tolkien writes: ??the truly great and splendid in this fallen world is more nearly achieved by ?failure? and suffering? (p. 52). ?We have as our guides only ?prudence, wisdom (rare in youth, too late in age), a clean heart, and fidelity of?will? (p. 52). ?I cannot count the times that my wife and I have had difficult moments in our relationship of 15 years. ?We always manage to work it out. ?If our relationship was purely sexual, it would have died out a long time ago. ?I love my wife because she loves me and cares deeply about me. ?I love my wife because she is at the core my best friend on this earth. ?The things that have been struggles for us have indeed made us stronger. ?We do not hold grudges, do not let the sun go down until we have made up, and try our best to forgive one another when we fall down.

What this means for writers:? Good relationships in fiction, relationships that will make readers want to read on, are relationships that understand the true nature of men and women, sprinkled with an element of romance (enough to make it interesting yet not unrealistic) and will have an aspect of pain and discomfort that will be that much more wonderful when those in the relationship figure out how to make it work, how to forgive one another, and how to work together. ?If we steer ourselves away from the desire as writers to please our audiences with nonsense fantasy relationships in favor of what is really necessary in the real world for these connections to work, we will not only be telling the truth, but we will be doing our world a service as well.

Anti-psychotic drug kills cancer stem cells without side-effects: study - Indiatalkies.com

Vancouver, May 27 (Xinhua-ANI): A team of Canadian scientists have discovered that thioridazine, a drug used to treat psychotic disorder, could successfully kill cancer stem cells in humans without the toxic side-effects on normal cells.

The research, published Thursday in the science journal CELL, may pave the way for the development of anticancer drugs for treatment of various cancers.

Conventional cancer treatments, like chemotherapy, work in a way that is toxic to cells, which may also lead to side-effects such as hair loss, nausea and anemia, according to the researchers from McMaster University.

Stem cells have long been believed to be the source of many cancers. In 1997, Canadian researchers first identified cancer stem cells in certain types of leukemia. Cancer stem cells have since been identified in blood, breast, brain, lung, gastrointestinal, prostate and ovarian cancer.

?The unusual aspect of our finding is the way it kills cancer stem cells, by differentiating them and changing them into cells that are non-cancerous,? said Mick Bhatia, the principal investigator for the study and scientific director of McMaster?s Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute.

?We think this lack of toxicity is why it doesn?t have effects on the normal cells, which would be beneficial to the patients,? Bhatia said.

Bhatia said their next step was to test thioridazine in clinical trials, focusing on patients with acute myeloid leukemia whose disease has relapsed after chemotherapy. He wants to find out if the drug can put their cancer into remission, and prevent the cancer from coming back by targeting the root of the cancer (cancer stem cells).

Bhatia?s team also found that thioridazine works through the dopamine receptor on the surface of the cancer cells in both leukemia and breast cancer patients.

The finding means it may be possible to use thioridazine as a biomarker that would allow early detection and treatment of breast cancer and early signs of leukemia progression, he said.

The research team would also look into the effectiveness of the drug in other types of cancer. Bhatia said they will collaborate with academic groups as well as industry to move forward.

?The goal for all of the partners is the same ? to find unique drugs to change the way we tackle and treat cancer,? he said. (Xinhua-ANI)

The Auto Loan Purchase Contract - Bad Credit Auto Loans

Even consumers with bad credit will want to go over this check off list before signing the sales contract

Checking it over

Even for credit-challenged consumers it?s very important to know what to look for before signing the documents for a car loan.

Here at Auto Credit Express, where we?ve spent the last two decades helping car buyers with less than perfect credit, we?ve seen what can happen if a buyer isn?t paying attention. It?s also one reason we created our website ? so that people with low credit scores can understand the issues surrounding no credit auto loans that include today?s topic, the purchase contract.

Purchase contracts

When you sign a finance contract you?re agreeing to all the terms it contains. Since most states have no ?cooling off? period, if you change your mind later you won?t be able to return the car.

This means that for your own peace of mind you need to pay attention to be sure the terms listed in the contract are those you agreed to, including:

??? ?Selling Price ? check to see this is correct. It should include the vehicle?s price plus tax, title and license fees. The dealer may also charge a documentation fee to process the paperwork. These fees should be broken out as to the type and amount for each.
??? ?Amount Financed ? this is the amount that you?ll be financing. It should equal the selling price less the cash down payment, rebates and/or trade equity.
??? ?Contract Term ?the length of the contract in months should reflect the loan term you agreed to.
??? ?Interest Rate ? this is the interest rate you?ll be changed. It should match the interest rate you were quoted.
??? ?Monthly Payment ? this is the amount you?ll be required to pay each month over the contract term. It should match the payment you agreed to.

If you disagree with any of the above items or anything else contained in the finance contract you have the right to walk away instead of signing it. If you sign the documents the dealer is required to give you a copy of every one you signed. Before you leave, be sure the dealer has also signed your copies, as well.

The Bottom Line

You should be paying as much attention to the sale and finance documents as you did to the other aspects of the sale. Signing a document without first checking it means you?re as much to blame as anyone. By taking a few extra minutes at this time you could save yourself a lot of trouble later on.

Another suggestion we have is that if you have problems with your car credit, Auto Credit Express can assist you in finding a dealer for your best chance at an auto loan approval.

So if you?re ready to reestablish your auto credit, you can begin now by filling out our online car loans application.

The Weaknesses of Flat Roof; A Challenge among Builders and ...

Flat roofs are very different from the usual sloping roofs that a number of Toronto homes enjoy. If your house has a flat roofing, this means that you have distinct criteria and problem areas than those with regular roofs. If not carefully considered, these downsides can turn into a headache that would haunt you throughout your stay in your home.

Flat roofs aren't necessarily flat; they actually have a slight slope to avoid build up of water. If your home is utilizing this roofing type, then you must take into account a number of things. Though flat roofs could be exceptionally good roofs under particular circumstances, this does not mean that there are no problem areas that you should look out for. The problem areas linked to flat roofs are distinct from those of standard roofs. Better be knowledgeable about these factors.

Wind

Flat roofs aren't as aerodynamic as opposed to their sloped cousins. Whenever a storm visits your place in Toronto, you need to keep track of your roof because it can get blown off. A flat roof, along with other types of roofs, doesn't sheer wind. You can prevent this from occurring by meeting with a Toronto roofer about wind solutions for your flat roof.

Collapse

Because the weight distribution on flat roofs aren't just like other types of roofs, and dirt has a tendency to pool on this kind of roof rather than fall off, flat roofs collapse more commonly than others. This is usually transpires during winter, when snow accumulates on the roof. Even storms and earthquakes may cause the flat roofs to collapse.

Water Troubles

Even with the minimal slope that flat roofs have, water would still find ways to pool, and it would normally just sit there until it disappears. This can cause damage to the roof like leaks, cracks, and rusting. If you notice problems like these, contact a firm that does roof repair Toronto homeowners believe in.

Servicing

It costs money to maintain your home, more so if you have a flat roof. A flat roof demands much more upkeep than its steep relatives, also it can be easily damaged by moisture and other problems. Property owners with flat roofs are inclined to get in touch with companies that perform roof repairs Toronto has more than anyone else.

Remember though that flat roofs are not a lousy style of roofing and it is even preferrable for many conditions, however it still pays to keep the contact information of a provider that does flat roof repair Toronto provides, just in case. For more info, you can visit FrontierAssoc.net.

nursing homes - Nursing Homes for People with Alzheimer's

It's stressful and challenging to take care of an Alzheimer's patient, which is why families are thinking about letting them move to nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Unlike before that there are only ordinary facilities, interested families can find communities that specialize in taking care of people with Alzheimer's these days.

Letting the patients move to long term care facilities doesn't mean that they are already free from their responsibilities to them. They still need to get involved but in another way. They need to ensure their safety and make sure that they are getting quality care. Aside from these, they also need to visit them regularly in order to make them feel that they are still part of the family.

But before they can do all these things, they need to choose first a facility that will make their loved ones feel comfortable, safe and loved even if they are far from home. Choose a facility that is dedicated in providing optimum custodial and medical care to its patients. It is also important to consider the ratio of the caregivers and patients. There should be enough medical professionals around that can supervise them round the clock. They should be very visible, which can give a peace of mind on families and in order for them to provide the assistance and care that the patients need.

Families who consider nursing homes should get into the planning more. It is a good idea to personally check the facility, to see if the environment is perfect for the patient and the long term care plan they have for those with Alzheimer's is very extensive and efficient. Friends may recommend a facility they have tried but it is much better if family members will get more involved in weighing the options and coming up with a decision, which they can show by visiting the facility.

Aside from the comprehensive program they offer, a good facility should also have activities that can cheer up the patients and keep their loneliness at bay. It is also good to check out if it promotes interaction among residents and it helps them to become socially active again. This is also an important factor in choosing a facility since this helps in making the patient feel good and to sort of create a distraction from their present condition.

Alzheimer's patients are known to have mood swings and they tend to become very violent. They should find out how the facility handles inconvenient situations and when the patients throw tantrums. A good facility should have a good plan or strategy on how to calm down the patients and the staff know very well how to handle these episodes.

People who suffer from Alzheimer's need special attention and care that nursing homes can provide. If you are one of those families who are still looking for a facility that specialize in handling people with Alzheimer's, these facilities will not let you down. They provide quality care and they know exactly how to deal with this type of patient.

Pujols hits 450th HR, Haren blanks M's

By TIM BOOTH

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 12:29 a.m. ET May 25, 2012

SEATTLE (AP) - The gem Dan Haren tossed Thursday night looked awfully familiar to Albert Pujols. Except this time instead of Pujols getting fooled by what Haren was tossing, he was helping the Los Angeles Angels' right-hander put together one of the finest efforts of his career.

"He makes good hitters look pretty bad including myself, he has in the past," Pujols said. "He is pretty amazing when he keeps the ball down.

Pujols had three hits, including his 450th career home run, and Haren struck out a career-high 14 to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 3-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.

The Angels and Mariners met for the first of 19 games this season and Pujols, a newcomer to the AL West rivalry, made his presence known immediately. He lined a two-run shot off Seattle starter Jason Vargas (5-4) with one-out in the top of the first, and added line-drive singles in the fourth and sixth innings. It was just his third three-hit game this season.

And those three runs proved to be plenty for Haren (2-5), who tossed the sixth shutout and 16th complete game of his career. He allowed four hits and one Seattle baserunner to reach third base. Only one other pitcher in Angels history had more strikeouts without allowing a walk than Haren did against the Mariners.

Haren matched his career-high of 12 strikeouts when he got Michael Saunders looking to end the eighth inning. He was given the chance at the complete-game despite starting the ninth at 110 pitches, but struck out Alex Liddi for the fourth time, got Ichiro Suzuki swinging, and closed it out by getting Kyle Seager to ground out.

After struggling with a sore back for the early part of the season, putting together that kind of performance was gratifying for Haren.

"Even pitching at 80 percent I should get better results than I have been getting in prior starts. I think it was obvious tonight that my stuff was better and I was feeling better in general," Haren said. "I'm happy obviously to win a game. I forgot what it felt like."

The 32-year-old Pujols is the fourth-youngest player in baseball history to reach 450 homers, behind Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., and Jimmie Foxx. Noted for his lack of power in his first two months with the Angels, Pujols displayed plenty of pop on the 3-1 pitch from Vargas, lining it off the facade of the second deck in left field with a thud for his fifth homer of the season and second in three games.

Pujols also stole a base and made a heads up play in the fourth inning, when Suzuki lost track of the number of outs and Pujols advanced to third after Suzuki caught the second out of the inning. He was stranded there when Erick Aybar popped out to end the inning. Pujols stole second and scored on Kendrys Morales' RBI single to left field in the sixth.

"This game comes and goes. I think the main thing is to be positive all the time and continue to make sure to make good adjustments," Pujols said. "Today I swung the bat pretty well, but tomorrow is a new day, you have to try to be consistent."

While Pujols continued to show signs of his bat waking up, Haren snapped a four-game losing streak with one of the finest outings of his career.

Haren picked up his 11th career win against Seattle and made it look easy for most of the night as Seattle failed to get a base runner between the second and sixth innings.

"I stayed with what was working and they were going to have to adjust to me," Haren said.

Saunders led off the sixth with an infield single. That ended a streak of 15 in a row set down by Haren and was Seattle's first hit since Dustin Ackley led off the bottom of the first with a single that slipped under Howie Kendrick's glove. Saunders ended up at second after a stolen base, but Haren got a pop up from Ackley and struck out Liddi to end Seattle's first scoring threat.

Suzuki led off the seventh with a double and advanced to third on an infield groundout, but was stranded when Haren got Jesus Montero waving at a pitch off the plate and froze Mike Carp on a 3-2 pitch for his 11th strikeout.

It was the 13th 10-strikeout game of Haren's career and topped his previous career high of 12 accomplished twice, the last time coming in 2008. Seattle manager Eric Wedge was not pleased with how easy Haren made it look.

"We didn't make him make any adjustments. He just kept doing the same thing throughout the course of the game. That just can't happen," Wedge said. "We've got a lot of young ballplayers, but they are far enough along they've got to do better than that.

NOTES: Haren picked up his 1,500th career strikeout when he got Saunders looking in the eighth inning. ... It was the league-leading seventh shutout this season for the Angels. ... Seattle activated C Miguel Olivo from the 15-day DL and optioned OF Casper Wells to Triple-A Tacoma. Olivo was 0-for-3 in his return to the Mariners lineup.

Google Updates Search App for iPhone, iPad

Google has released a new version of its iPhone search app, boasting a revamped interface, full screen image searches and improved search speeds.

The update makes app pages load faster and increases the speed with which autocomplete search suggestions appear.

Google's interaction designer, Noah Levin, claimed that the update means results will update with each letter added, though we still saw a slight delay when typing in a blog post announcing the launch of the application.

The app also makes viewing multiple pages easier, adding a swipeable menu at the bottom of its user interface that lets you easily switch between open web pages.

The feature extends to its search categories, meaning users can swipe to move between search, image and map modes.

Google has enhanced the app's voice command support, letting users search the web orally. In our initial tests the feature worked well, with the service easily understanding all our requests, no matter how obscure.

The update also makes searching for images much easier, so that rather than rows of thumbnail images, pictures now load as a full screen grid, letting you tap an image to get additional details on it and swipe through the search results.

The app also comes with a save option, letting users download the selected image simply by holding down on it.

The search service also adds Google apps onto Apple's iOS, housing a link to other services like Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Google+, YouTube, Blogger. The apps arrival follows speculation that Apple is planning to add Google Maps in its next major iOS overhaul.

V3 offers a review of the new Google Search app for the iPhone.

Senate committee cuts Pakistan aid over conviction

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A Senate panel expressed its outrage Thursday over Pakistan's conviction of a doctor who helped the United States track down Osama bin Laden, voting to cut aid to Islamabad by $33 million ? $1 million for every year of the physician's 33-year sentence for high treason.

The punitive move came on top of deep reductions the Appropriations Committee already had made to President Barack Obama's budget request for Pakistan, a reflection of the growing congressional anger over its cooperation in combatting terrorism. The overall foreign aid budget for next year had slashed more than half of the proposed assistance and threatened further reductions if Islamabad failed to open overland supply routes to U.S.-led NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Pushing aside any diplomatic talk, Republicans and Democrats criticized Pakistan a day after the conviction in Pakistan of Shakil Afridi. The doctor ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and verify bin Laden's presence at the compound in Abbottabad where U.S. commandos found and killed the al-Qaida leader in May 2011.

"We need Pakistan, Pakistan needs us, but we don't need Pakistan double-dealing and not seeing the justice in bringing Osama bin Laden to an end," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who pushed for the additional cut in aid.

He called Pakistan "a schizophrenic ally," helping the United States at one turn, but then aiding the Haqqani network which has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Americans. The group also has ties to al-Qaida and the Taliban.

"It's Alice in Wonderland at best," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. "If this is cooperation, I'd hate like hell to see opposition."

One of the most forceful statements came from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who also serves as the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. She pointed out that Pakistan has suffered at the hands of terrorists yet misconstrued what is treason in convicting Afridi. She also insisted that Afridi was not a spy.

"This conviction says to me that al-Qaida is viewed by the court to be Pakistan," said Feinstein, who said it made her rethink U.S. assistance.

The Appropriations Committee approved Graham's amendment to cut the assistance by $33 million on a 30-0 vote. The full Senate will vote on the overall bill, possibly this summer.

At the State Department, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the United States believes Afridi should be released.

"His help was instrumental in taking down one of the world's most notorious murderers that was clearly in Pakistan's interest as well as ours and the rest of the world," Clinton told reporters, adding that the United States will continue to press the issue with Islamabad.

In crafting the overall legislation, the committee reduced Obama's request to aid Pakistan by 58 percent as resentment and doubts linger on Capitol Hill a year after bin Laden was killed deep inside Pakistan. Tensions between Washington and Islamabad have increased as Pakistan closed overland supply routes to Afghanistan after a U.S. attack on the Pakistani side of the border killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November.

The United States and Pakistan failed to resolve the issue at the recent NATO summit in Chicago.

The congressional anger over the conviction and the supply routes extended to the Senate Armed Services Committee, which completed a $631.4 billion defense budget Thursday. The panel added a provision stipulating that before Pakistan can be reimbursed with coalition funds, the secretary of defense must certify that Pakistan is opening and maintaining the supply routes, is not supporting the Haqqani network, and not detaining or imprisoning Pakistani citizens, according to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

He referred to the conviction as a virtual death sentence.

The fierce congressional response in various committees "shows a common outrage," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., told reporters.

Members of the Senate Appropriations Committee also complained about mafia-style extortion by Pakistan in seeking truck fees in exchange for opening the supply lines. The cost had been $250 per truck prior to the attack. Pakistan is now demanding $5,000 per truck. The United States has countered at $500.

The bill would provide just under $1 billion in aid to Pakistan, including $184 million for State Department operations and $800 million for foreign assistance. Counterinsurgency money for Pakistan would be limited to $50 million.

The legislation also conditions the counterinsurgency aid on Pakistan reopening the supply routes.

Islamabad won't get any of the funds for counterinsurgency or money in prior legislation unless the secretary of state certifies to the Appropriations committees that "the government of Pakistan has reopened overland cargo routes available to support United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops in Afghanistan, and funds appropriated under this heading can be used efficiently and effectively by the end of the fiscal year," the legislation says

If the secretary can't certify to Congress, the money would be transferred to other accounts.

The overall legislation would fund the State Department, foreign operations and other programs at $52.1 billion, which is $2.6 billion less than what Obama requested for the 2013 fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 and $1.2 billion below current spending.

Wading into the dispute over Palestinian refugees, the panel approved a version of an amendment from Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., that would require the secretary of state to submit a report to Congress on the number of Palestine refugees who were displaced by the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict, the number of descendants and who receives assistance from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

The issue of whether to count refugees and their descendants is a divisive one. Some 5 million Palestine refugees receive assistance from the U.N. agency. A third of registered refugees live in camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The State Department and Jordan opposed the original Kirk amendment and it was modified by Leahy.
