Finding the Toilet in Stockholm
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.

Biden's competence will help Obama be able to remain Obama. Insider or not, Biden is liked by the country -- and he's smart.
Here's why I like Bayh the father so much and why he sets a standard for leadership that we should be comparing others to.
A military commander tested in wartime, a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a Secretary of State, a Vice President Powell would strengthen Obama's candidacy more deeply and more consummately than any other American.
I'll be surprised if McCain doesn't pick a woman. I've long speculated before that such a move would make good sense as McCain seeks to appeal to swing voters.
The "Evan Bayh will be Vice-President" meme is running rampant here in Indiana with more and more tips and leaks and rumors spreading like wildfire.
We are a nation at war -- why are two neophytes on the world stage, Bayh and Kaine, at the top of the list when Obama himself has zero foreign policy or national security chops?
Word has reached me that at Barack Obama's Hawaii retreat, Evan Bayh's chances to find himself the next Democratic VP candidate have moved to better than 50/50.
I would support Obama if he picked a turnip as his VP, but since so much of his candidacy is based on a willingness to listen to his supporters, this might be a chance to help make sure that he doesn't.
Broken record here. The more I think about it, the more Al Gore seems the only really interesting choice for Barack Obama's vice presidential choice. ...
Be thankful for radio silence I guess when other candidates for VP like Daschle and Bayh are getting phone calls saying, "Sorry....but we look forward to working with you in many other ways in the coming years."
Obama might be wise to bypass his own supporters when he goes to select a vice-presidential candidate. Reaching out instead to a high-profile Clinton supporter may be the best way to unite the party.
MGM held a movie magazine contest to rename their "next big thing." The winning entry: Joan Crawford. I hope Obama keeps this in mind before he considers putting "Obama Bayh" on bumper stickers.
Obama should take a page from George Bush and pick the head of his search committee: Caroline Kennedy. She's been witness to the inner-workings of government for decades while maintaining her role as an outsider.
Let me play the contrarian here. We need as many members out seeing the world as possible -- and if they are at a forum debating political Islam...well, fantastic!
If Obama picks Evan Bayh, the son of a political family, the ultimate legacy politician, a supporter of the Iraq War, it will mean that once again, change is how you talk the talk.

All of you holding out for HRC are sadly stuck in a rut!
I don't like this guy, and I've been writing the Obama campaign, asking, no, begging them not to choose this guy. I don't trust him, at all.
Please pick "Fightin'" Joe Biden!!!!
