Benzinha you tell Franck
to sleep five hours NOT four. Four is too brief. Five hours is the allowed minimum (at least as far as the history of University life is concerned)

maj, Babelfish is a hoot. I have reversed and reversed translated and
giggled over the results!! We kids always spoke better in foreign languages than our Embassy employed parents, and they formed public policy.

maj, the x-rays were 'inconclusive', showing a major opacity, but undefined

What the heck does that mean? Dunno what the next procedure is called, but they shall put him to sleep and suck something out of his lungs for lab culturing.....both TB and Valley Fever blood tests were negative.

Togo is a mess. Faure Gnassingbe promised elections in 60 days, not enough time to do them correctly he said, but refused to step down from his seized Speaker's post. So, you say that he has stepped down? Wonderful. He probably has manged to steal enough from Daddy's Swiss accounts to keep him in the manner to which he has grown accustomed. A mess. But,  the African Union insisted and Togo listened and That is the miracle here.

Babelfish is a hoot sometimes
Try feeding a passage into it in English to, say, Spanish, then take THAT and reinterpret into English. Thank God they don't work for the Secretary of State. (What's that? They DO?! Oh my aching head...).

Well you learn something every day - I didn't even know about Babelfish! Hope Franck gets better soon.

Xray will differentiate TB from Valley Fever

(named for the Central Valley I live in).

Togo's president stepped down. Now who, the military?

("I'm SO surprised!! Oh...My..GOD, I'm SO,SO surprised"...NOT!!!!)

If anyone can sway them, it's you.

That's horrible to be happening to him. I hope he recovers and soon, and finds his balance again.
