Update on Port au Prince - more mixed news
by Joan DeFrances
Though the hard work of our school director in Port au Prince, Abner Romelus, we have been able to secure several grants of 300 large (80lb) sacks of rice and gallons of cooking oil on 5 separate occasions. Each sack has been reported to be enough to feed a family for a month. We have used your donations each time to rent a large truck with armed guard to discretely pick up the food and safely deliver it to families in great need. Thank you for your generosity. You can see how your money goes right towards saving lives!
Unfortunately, as expected, the situation in Port au Prince is getting worse as the rainy season begins.
Please see the following excerpt from an email by Sherman Malone to the Haiti Marycare team.
"Abner called today with a report on the fear and confusion in Port au Prince as the government begins to move homeless people out of the makeshift camps which are already flooding. The rain falling now makes it clear that the rainy season has already arrived and will get worse. One of the sad things Abner said is that there seems to be almost no gas in PAP. It's expensive and hard to find.
Some people who have family in the north/northeast do not have money for a ticket or cannot get a place on a bus going to Cap Haitien. Many other families are being evicted from the camps and told that their only option is to go to Cap Haitien and they are put on a bus to go there. They are frightened because they know no one in the north/northeast, have no idea how they will survive in a strange locality, and have heard of no government or international efforts to receive big refugee populations in the north/northeast.
Our work, over our history and especially now in the aftermath of the earthquake, has been extraordinarily quickly responsive, effective and efficient. I believe that has been possible because all along, with Father Dorcin, we have been building the collaborations and grassroots community connections that are necessary to our mission."
The Food Has Arrived, but with Mishap
We all hope for good news resulting from our mission and hard work in Haiti, but sometimes there are mixed results. I have received permission to post the following emails detailing the progress of the food donated by Feed My Starving Children.
excerpts from email by Sherman Malone:
Dear Team,
Let us rejoice!!
Father Dorcin has got the food for malnourished children safely from port to depots. Haiti Marycare has demonstrated that we can ship to Haiti in impossible conditions.
Father Dorcin writes: "Ouffffff, nou soulaje!!!!!! " Father Dorcin says, ", We can breathe now, we are comforted, we are at ease!"
I'm saying that we should be very proud of our hard work, our teamwork and our great success in getting food to the children who urgently need it.
Father Dorcin has got the food shipment through customs and out of the port and on its way to malnourished children in Jakzi and in Roche Plate/Pilette. Father Dorcin sent this letter to us and also called me to add some more information to his report. It took constant vigilance and several trips to the port, but Father Dorcin managed all the fees, customs, formalities successfully. We can now be confident that the system he has put in place for receiving shipments from Sante Mannas will work for the shipment of medical supplies and medicines that is coming.
The problem: Transportation from the Port to Village Destinations
Transportation from port to villages required 2 trucks.
Father Dorcin borrrowed the first truck from Caritas to ship food to Jacquesyl. The drivers arrived on time and loaded the food with no problem, but as they passed through Cap Haitien, the truck was attacked by robbers who broke the glass window at the back of the truck and began to steal the food and threatened the drivers who fled for their lives. MINUSTA (the UN Peace Keepers) arrived rapidly, saved the drivers and regained possession of the truck and the food. A very, very small amount of food (2 boxes) was lost; the rest of the food was saved. MINUSTA accompanied the truck until it was safely outside the city. The drivers did not want to go on the rough road directly to Jacquesyl after their bad experience and because they had used up so much time and so they took the truck and the food to Fort Liberty where the food is safely stored now, awaiting transport to Jacquesyl very soon, and the truck will be repaired.
The second truck was late arriving. That was good.
Having had this bad experience with the first truck, Father Dorcin was able to arrange in advance with MINUSTA to accompany the second truck (provided to Father Dorcin by the Ministry of Public Health) from the minute the food was loaded as the truck left the port, passed through Cap Haitien and arrived safely outside Cap Haitien. The truck went on to Roche Plate to deliver the food safely with no problems.
The underlying problem is the stress and confusion in Cap Haitien where so many refugees have arrived with nothing and there is now no electricity in the city and there is a great shortage of gas and other necessities too and so some people are stealing what they can.
Unfortunately, there was confusion on the US side about the severity of the losses. Please see the following update from Father Dorcin.
Hi Sherman,
You have done a great job. About the damage on the truck container, I would like to clarify for you and the team that the robbers had broken the main front glasses, the laterals, and the back door to get access into the container. It is not only two boxes, but many ....
God bless,
Fr. Dorcin

Leaving Jacquesyl
I would so much like to stay a little longer. We work hard and sometimes as I walk through the village for the last time, I get get a little time just to chat with friends I've made there. It is always hard to say goodbye.
However, this year before that last walk we were BUSY!!! VOSH saw 325 people, Kris saw many people and extracted 27 teeth, and between Jennifer, Jim and myself saw over 100 kids, some sick, others not really but they were happy to receive vitamins and de-worming medicine.
Sherman met with the teachers and set up a tutoring program to help the kids who fall behind due to the large classes in the lower grades. (Many quit school after the 4th grade if they don't pass the standardized exam.) To have any hope of secondary school children must pass a very difficult 6th grade exam. We are beginning to have some success with the 6th grade and are aiming to work to help more children pass. Our school in Port au Prince has a very high success rate. Our school in Jacquesyl was the first in the area to open after the earthquake when schools throughout the country closed.
We said our good-byes to VOSH and Jennifer's team as well as the translators who worked so hard. New friendships were formed and plans for our next trip to Haiti were already in the planning stages.
As always, I receive more from Haiti than I give. This time was no exception. I received hospitality everywhere I went by people whose lives have been devastated in one way or another. I received a visit in PaP from one of the people my daughter used to work with, Jean Baptiste. He'd lost his home, but he came to make sure I was all right. The workers at the ruined guest house made us so comfortable and prepared us food in the midst of the rubble. A nurse from La Plaine came to assist us at the clinic we did there, and I learned she had been doing the best she could to treat people who weren't hurt badly enough to be accepted at a hospital although in the US they would certainly be hospitalized. At EVERY home we visited, someone found us a chair to sit in even if they had to run to a neighbor's house to get one.
I again witnessed the resiliancy of the people of Haiti. Everyone was doing something. Life was still going on. Some cleared rubble, some cared for orphaned children as well as their own. Those who still had jobs went to work even if they weren't getting paid, because the banks were closed. People still prayed and sang fervently. In the tent cities, people were banging together shelters, waiting in food lines, washing their children and the kids still played and smiled. It was amazing. Just for the record, I NEVER felt like I was in danger and I saw NO violence anywhere, and I was in plenty of RED zone areas.(places not considered safe for NGOs)
Hospitality, Strength, and Faith are the gifts I receive from Haiti.

Working with VOSH and running medical clinic in Jacquesyl
Thursday Feb.17th
Everyone rose early to go to Jacquesyl. It was pouring rain and it took us a long time to check out of the hotel. But we finally were on our way with the VOSH (Volunteer Optometrics in Service to Humanity)team, Jennifer's team of nurses and 5 translators. It was still raining when we got to Jacquesyl and I was afraid people wouldn't come out, but the church was at least half full with people waiting to be seen by the opticians. We quickly rearranged the benches for people to wait their turn and teachers carried over tables from the school to set up the stations for VOSH. The teachers also brought over some of the children we had identified that needed eye care.
VOSH was a class act. All of them had been to Haiti before and seemed quite relaxed amongst the activity of assuring everyone that they would be seen, figuring out where they could work, who would translate for whom and who from the Jacquesyl community would work at registration. The noise level got pretty high at times and I for one got a little frustrated, but they were cool. Our Jacquesyl teachers were great and helped to keep order. ( I think we exhausted them) VOSH set up stations for acuity exams, glaucoma exams and various other stations which made me realize how little I know about eye exams. At the end there was every possible prescription for glasses was available and those who needed them received a pair. Everyone also received sunglasses. ( The kids thought they were very cool) One person needed a prescription they didn't have and it will be made in the US and sent to Dr.Maklin.
Meanwhile Kris along with Louise one of the nurses and a translator held a dental clinic in the back of the church. Most of what Kris did was extract teeth in the elderly and a few not so elderly and treat gingivitis with Tylenol and amoxicillan. People loved her because she so quickly put an end to their pain and misery. One man came by the center later that night to tell her how much better he felt. Louise was amazed at the procedures and the strength it takes to pull some people's teeth. It's pretty gross, but it sure makes people feel better and I saw a lot of immediate gratification.
Over in the clinic, Jim Morgan, a pediatrician from Hew Haven, CT, and Jennifer Schmidt NP, two nurses, and myself saw pediatric cases. One of the biggest things I learned on this trip was the importance of Haitian translators. Not only did they understand everything mothers and patients said, but they understood problems and nuances and cultural things that it would take an American a long time to figure out. Also because they were not from the town, people seemed more comfortable talking about some things, knowing that they wouldn't be repeated or judged. I was extremely grateful to these translators. These were well educated people who spoke at least two languages well and couldn't find work in this country of too few jobs. When we paid one of them his eyes filled with tears. He told Jennifer that he just volunteered to help because it was so much better than sitting at home doing nothing and never expected to be paid. I am happy that we were able to give him four days of work and hope that he will join us in the future.
It finally stopped raining (I know we were all praying that it wasn't raining in PaP) as we finished for the day. We were all tired and took a little break to rest before getting together for dinner. At dinner we talked about the day. The VOSH team (Dave, Linda, Paul, Anita, Mike and Jack) saw about 125 people. There was a family of 5, all with trachoma, a disease that is spread easily within a family and can cause blindness. It is spread by hand to eye contact between children with the disease or by the feet of flies who feed on the exudate from the eyes. Megan and I had seen a young woman earlier in the week who was blind. She was seen by VOSH who told me her blindness was due to lack of Vitamin A in her diet as a young child. In Jacquesyl all children are treated with Vitamin A supplements, but this young woman had only recently come to Jacquesyl. As so often happens people are sick because they are poor. Poor diets, poor living conditions, lack of soap and water, screens on windows, Kleenex... all things we take for granted.

Last days treating patients in Haiti
Haitian Border with the Dominican Republic
Saying goodbye to Jakzi (Dr. Morgan and children of Jakzi)
Patient with severe Vitamin A deficiency
by Dr. Jim Morgan
February 17 (Wednesday)
I'm blogging the next 4 days "post facto" since Megan left today with her iPhone and we had no way to communicate. We went to Cap-Haitien this AM and took Megan to the airport. Sadly we lost a major player on our team but still had a lot to accomplish. We met Jennifer (Pediatric PNP from Northern VA), her team, and VOSH (a long established optometry/ophthalmic group) at Mont Joli Hotel (Haitian 5 Star hotel which is equivalent of our 2 Star hotels). I didn't realize places existed like this in Haiti. I had a room with a beautiful view of ocean (from a distance that is), electricity all day (as compared to just 4 hrs. in Jakzi), a TV with 4 fuzzy channels, and a hot water spigot (sadly no hot water came out).
Jenn had arranged for us to do a clinic in Nativity Village which is one of the most poverty stricken areas in Cap-Haitien. Basically a swamp with too many people. When we arrived, we had to somehow portage the large puddles of contaminated water with our supplies. The motorcycle taxis arrived and saved the day! They not only carried our supplies, but all of us across deep, dirty water. They were amazing how they drove their bikes and didn't dump our stuff (OR US!!!) into the mud. The clinic itself was a huge success both medically and for the patients seeing VOSH. The problems were the same – malnutrition, worms, scabies, diarrhea, fungal infections. Dr. Maklin helped us and we saw dozens of patients. The absolutely worst conditions I have seen so far in Haiti!!! I don't know why the flies wanted to stay near me.
We went back to Mont Joli that night for a dinner conference with Haitian Health Network at Hotel Roi Christopher. Got to meet the leaders of many of the voluntary health organizations like Haiti MaryCare to see what they were doing in Haiti. Ted Kaplan, who we had all worked with @ Pillette, organized everything with his wife Elizabeth. Best meal of the entire trip and gave us a broad overview of all trying to be accomplished in Haiti. So many organizations trying so hard and I felt proud to be a part of one of the best, Haiti MaryCare.
February 18 (Thursday)
Left early that AM to return to Jakzi. with our team, Jenn, and VOSH. Starting to realize that everything in Haiti is relative. Jakzi is so fortunate to have a clinic that functions daily as compared to other areas that rarely see a medical person. Again, we saw many patients as did VOSH who were doing eye exams and providing glasses if necessary (and if not they got sunglasses which they loved). It was quite cool that day (Haitian perspective that is). About 65 degrees. Rain had stopped, but clouds persisted. Made for great working conditions. We wore shorts, but many of the villagers were in ski coats! Saw a blind mother raising small children who had severe corneal clouding from earlier Vitamin A deficiency. I also saw the worst failure to thrive baby I can ever remember. Six months old and only 6 pounds. I'm learning in Haiti that I have to approach problems totally differently – no lab down the street, tests cost money the patients can't afford, and you really have to rely on clinical judgment (its sad this is being lost in the USA or that fear of litigation inhibits its use). A trial of a medication for a parasitic infection is all I can do and hope it works. I wanted to test for HIV but not available. We returned to the Center for Formation that evening for a nice dinner with VOSH. Even enjoyed a few cold Prestige before lights went out.
February 19 (Friday)
Last work day in Jakzi. Started to get sad about leaving, but ready to go home to see family and friends. Took a walk from the center to the village to cherish the sites, sounds, and people along the way I've met this week. Once there, not much time to reflect. Everyone knew it was our last day and came out to see us. We saw ~100 children in a 4 hour time span, but gladly had to turn no one away. Said our goodbyes at the church and slowly walked home just reflecting on the past two weeks. Before leaving village, went to see Yudinx one last time. He was thrilled to get my cap that read Doctors Have Patience. He wants to be a doctor and I have faith he will accomplish his goal. Quiet evening of packing to get up at 3:30 AM to start our trip home.
February 20 (Saturday)
Awoke at 3:30 AM & got to see beautiful stars of Haiti one last time before going home. Fenalin took us to northern border dodging all of the cows and goats sleeping both in and alongside the highway. It still amazes me I never saw a car hit an animal, person, or another vehicle this entire trip! Two hour wait before the border opened. Small glitch with passports, but easily walked across the bridge into the Dominican Republic. We missed our direct bus to Santo Domingo, but with the help of a new-found Haitian friend Gary, we took another bus to Santiago and transferred to Santo Domingo. There we saw Papito one last time before we went to the airport. How good it was to see his smile before we left! We easily got to the airport on time (a little nerve racking since we had to travel in Haiti, cross the border, and then go 6 hours by bus in the DR). Flight home quiet and even getting through customs a breeze.
This was my first trip to Haiti and suffice to say it was the most life changing journey I've ever traveled. Even for the regular team members of Haiti MaryCare, this trip required so much coordination for it all to happen it defies imagination. Especially in Haiti where NOTHING is predictable. This was all do to the efforts of Mary Lou, Sherman, Papito, and the unsung hero Tom behind the scenes at home. Considering we flew to the DR, traveled by bus to PaP, then again by bus back to the DR, back to Cap-Haitien by bus, clinics in Jakzi, Pillete, and Cap-Haitien, and then back to DR by bus and flight out to NYC. Exhausting to even put all of this in one sentence. One always comes away from Haiti appreciating EVERYTHING we have here in the USA. I was so glad to have a roof over my head, a clean toilet and shower, healthy food and water, and 4 hours of electricity at night. It's so easy to take all of these things for granted. I realized how much time I waste at home sitting in front of a TV, computer, or on my cell phone. How nice it was to even read some books. The old saying "early to bed, early to rise" really applies in Haiti, especially when the roosters start crowing at 5 AM. You really learn a lot about yourself.
I was immersed in a culture that has so little, but is so kind and appreciative of everything people do for them. They work tirelessly without complaining just living from day to day. Many only get one meal per day, yet have a resilience that is extraordinary. I'm convinced this is why so many survived the earthquake is horrendous conditions. I am grateful for my new Haitian friends – Papito, Father Dorcin, Dr. Maklin, Dr. Vaval, and the entire village of Jakzi. I look forward to returning to the village that so embraced me. Hopefully my Creole will be a little better next trip. All prayers and God's blessings are now needed for those who suffered loss in the earthquake as well as the millions of other Haitians who strive everyday just to survive and hopefully have a better life.
Bus ticket dilemma
When I first went to Jacquesyl everyone asked us for shoes. Then people began to ask for money for their children to go to school. Today everyone had shoes or at least flip flops. Today the majority of the kids go to school and we need to expand the school.
But this trip many, many people asked for bus tickets. Yes bus tickets.....to bring their loved ones from Port au Prince where there is absolutely nothing for them, to Jacquesyl. I wondered would our donors consider this as disaster relief? After what I saw in PaP I would certainly consider it disaster relief.
When the rainy season begins there will be malaria,typhoid, and dengue. Women and girls live in fear of being raped in the massive tent cities. There is little available clean water and no privacy. Away from PaP people will at least have a chance at rebuilding their lives, yet without seeing the devastation and repercussions will people understand this? It is something we need to talk about. Several of us just decided to give our personal money to families we knew to help them bring their families to Jacquesyl.

However I can create strange scenarios where there would always be SA LWPs around with the best priority. (Even without resorting to nice) LWPs in the global queue would never get a chance.

Any fix for the low memory UP problems will probably automatically fix the SMP problems since they are closely related. (At least this is how it worked out with my patch) My feeling is that you started from the wrong end of the problem. Stephan

The opening of a restaurant must be such a daunting business. There's a location to secure, permits, a team to assemble—all in the hope that the customers will come and hopefully approve and return. Some people fly into this endeavor unprepared, unaware of the huge risks and failure rate of new restaurants. While the much-cited 90 percent failure rate is actually a myth (empirical research points to 50 percent going under within three years), there's still a good chance that someone will lose his/her shirt. Being a wonderful host at home doesn't necessarily translate into running a tough business with small margins and actually turning a profit. The smart people are the ones who've studied the business from the inside for many years, and learned from good teachers. Perry Vidalakis, owner of the new Trattoria Neapolis on South Lake, earned an MBA from Harvard and Le Grand Diplôme from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris before spending 10 years in the business in various locations in the U.S. and Italy—including Naples, where he manned pizza ovens while honing his concept for Neapolis. And honed it is.
The menu is rustic Italian with market-fresh ingredients. Not a huge stretch, but it takes skill and attention to detail to stand out among the huge number of restaurants that share this common mantra. In the kitchen, Chef Bryant Wigger mans a 7,000-pound wood-burning oven that Vidalakis imported from Naples. He also presides over a wood-burning grill and a smoker.
A penchant for detail is certainly evident in the drinks program as well. Both the cocktail menu and beer list have been created by experts at the very top of their game. Vincenzo Marianella, of Santa Monica's Copa D'Oro bar, crafted the drinks list. He studied cocktail-making in London and was nominated for American Bartender of the Year 2012, bestowed by Tales of The Cocktail in New Orleans (described as a Sundance for bartenders). The list is broken down into sections: "refreshing," "sparkling," "aromatic," "classic," "bespoke" and "mixologist's corner." This is designed to make a large menu easier to negotiate, and it works, allowing you to pore over the choice of 33 drinks without getting lost. I headed straight for the classic drinks and ordered a Negroni. It's a good go-to. If a bar messes up a Negroni, you might as well switch to wine. This one was spot on—
Plymouth Gin, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth and Campari, with a big fat ice cube.
Sipping on it as I waited for my food, I watched Vidalakis stopping at tables for a chat. He's really passionate about restaurants. He loves them. When I wasn't watching him, I was admiring the design details. Neapolis is beautiful. The garden room, located at the front of the restaurant, is decked out in beautiful tile and, with its skylight overhead, feels like a covered patio in some old European city. Wall-mounted sconces cast a warm, flattering glow. Banquettes line the walls on two sides, meaning you share a long couch with people at adjacent tables. Maybe it's this intimacy that makes your neighbors want to chat with you. I ended up talking to and shaking hands with diners on either side of me. It turned my solo dinner into a social experience and was most welcome.
Welcome, too, was my food. It had taken me two hours to get there from Hollywood, due to some gnarly traffic snarl-ups. But I wasn't disappointed. Arancini, literally "little oranges" in Italian, are interpreted here as crispy lobster risotto balls—basically a ball of lobster risotto, encased in crispy breadcrumbs, with a Eureka lemon aioli. In Italy, arancini often have pancetta and peas in them. I like the fact that Chef Wigger expands the trattoria concept somewhat and gives it a bit of California zip. The execution was spot on, breadcrumbs crisp, center melting and rich.
It was tempting to go for pizza, after hearing how the oven blisters the crust at close to 1,000º, but on the advice of my server, Robert, who was a real pro, I had the wood-roasted pork chop with porcini crust and a side of oven-roasted fennel with fresh orange vinaigrette. I've dried out many a piece of pork in my time, but his was just full of juices and flavor. The roasted fennel was a great complement too, caramelized and wonderful.
At the behest of Vidalakis, I had an untraditional tiramisu of roast peach, caramel and mascarpone with a taste of Smog City Brewing's Groundwork Coffee Porter. Good if unconventional call. The Beer Chicks'Christina Perozzi assembled the eclectic and mostly local brew list. There are also some Italian craft brews, which is not something you see in a lot of places. I didn't try a wine, but with a wine program designed and organized in a cohesive, easy-to-understand fashion by Diego Meraviglia, vice president of the North American Sommelier Association, it's a good bet that you'll easily find something to love.
Pasadena needs something like Trattoria Neapolis. It's grown-up, but not fussy. It almost feels like a little corner of San Francisco. The two-hour journey I made was well worth it to experience the 10-year journey that it took to create it.

Game of Thrones - PChttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/game_of_thrones/b/pc/atom.aspxCommunity Server2011-11-09T11:59:00ZThe Game Of Thrones Video Game Began Development Well Before The TV Show/games/game_of_thrones/b/pc/archive/2012/05/12/the-game-of-thrones-video-game-began-development-well-before-the-tv-show.aspx2012-05-12T12:14:00Z2012-05-12T12:14:00Z

The Game of Thrones video game is more than just a TV show cash-in. The developers at Cyanide Studio began work on the game, "when the TV series was only a rumor."

In this behind the scenes video, the developers at Cyanide Studios talk about how they worked closely with George R.R. Martin, and began discussions with the author to adapt the book series into a game seven years ago.

Game of Thrones the video game will be available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC next week on May 15.

TVs most popular show featuring war, incest, and magic has an RPG on the way to 360, PS3, and PC. Publisher Atlus is celebrating the newly revealed May release with a slew of screenshots and a new trailer.

Besides announcing the new media and the May 15 release date, Atlus also unlocked the Riverspring portion of the Game of Thrones website. Go forth and explore, young warriors!

The new trailer for Atlus' upcoming Game of Thrones video game adaptation shows off one of the most unique landmarks in the fantasy realm of Westeros: The Wall, an icy barrier constructed to protect the civilized people of the world from an ancient, evil force.

The trailer is brief, but it certainly makes it look like Atlus and developer Cyanide have at least captured the tone of the George R.R. Martin novels that the game is based off. That's a good first step, at least.

Cyanide Studio's first stab at the Game of Thrones property – the RTS subtitled Genesis – didn't go over so well, but the developer (along with publisher Atlus) are readying a new RPG set in Westeros for a 2012 release.

This Game of Thrones title will come out for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 sometime in early 2012, and it lets players pick from two different original characters who were allied with Robert Baratheon when he took the throne. It's unknown how/if the game's events will mirror those in the books, but here's hoping that it doesn't make you feel like an also-ran next to the books' characters and events that we love so much.

The game is based both on author George R.R. Martin's larger A Song of Ice and Fire series (of which A Game of Thrones is the first book) as well as HBO's hit series of the same name.

Cyanide is saying that the RPG will take roughly 30 hours, and includes numerous quests, battles, and political machinations that will shape the direction of the realm. Combat is being governed by what the developer is calling the "active slowdown tactical combat engine," which slows but doesn't stop combat so you can make strategic decisions.

For our review of developer Cyanide Studio's previous Game of Thrones title, A Game of Thrones – Genesis, check it out here.

Congressman Derek Kilmer released the following statement after the Department of Labor released its jobs report for March. The Department of Labor announced that the economy gained 88,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to 7.6 percent in March. This is the 37th consecutive month of private sector growth.
"While I'm glad the private sector continues to add jobs, our rate of growth is far off the mark of where we need it to be. As someone with a professional background in economic development, I know we can't allow our growth to slow down even further or stall. That's why Congress needs to replace the across-the-board cuts that went into effect at the start of March. This jobs report should send a clear message that it's time for both parties to put aside their differences and come together to focus on job-creating measures and replacing the across-the-board cuts with a balanced, long-term plan for our budget problems that puts folks to work and grows our economy."

President Obama's climate change talk last week is still being considered and debated by greens across the country.
Granted, it gained him some much-needed cred among environmentalists, if simply because it took on climate change in a substantive way rather than ignoring it, as many politicians do.
But the speech and White House paper that accompanied it also set many greens off for the President's wholehearted embrace of natural gas (and fracking), and his still wobbly stance on the Keystone XL pipeline.
Where he and his administration scored big was their emphasis on efficiency and renewables, which have to be a big part of any country's energy future, especially the most-consumptive nation on the globe (the U.S.).
Now if he and his team can truly follow up with the policies and the money to support all that talk, progress will be made.
Prior to last week's speech, President Obama had already put some efficiency measures into motion. Since he took office, there are 40 percent more fuel-efficient cars and light trucks on the road, and by 2020 new passenger cars must average 35 miles per gallon. Next year, 2014, a new federal plan calls for a 30 percent increase in funding for clean energy technology across all agencies, including advanced bio-fuels.
Here are more specifics from the President's Climate Action Plan (which you should download and read):
In 2012, the President set a goal to issue permits for 10 gigawatts of renewables on public lands by the end of the year. The Department of the Interior achieved this goal ahead of schedule and the President has directed it to permit an additional 10 gigawatts by 2020. Since 2009, the Department of Interior has approved 25 utility-scale solarfacilities, nine wind farms, and 11 geothermal plants.
Also, the Department of Defense – the single largest consumer of energy in the United States—is committed to deploying 3 gigawatts of renewable energy on military installations, including solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal, by 2025. In addition, federal agencies are setting a new goal of reaching 100 megawatts of installed renewable capacity across the federally subsidized housing stock by 2020.
With respect to renewable energy initiatives, the Obama plan for climate change was bold in some areas, but global leaders have already introduced similar efforts. Today 138 countries have introduced renewable energy targets, mostly to be met by 2020. Pilot projects promoting solar installations are proliferating around the globe and there are more wind turbines online every day, both onshore and off, creating jobs, more power and cheaper costs.
The challenge now is for local efforts to be successful in helping to finance capital costs and infrastructure, as well as grid integration, so that all of these marvelous plans and pilot projects aren't left adrift, unconnected.
Efforts like Global Power Shift are attempting to make sure that just as the 20th century was dominated by oil, the 21st will see clean energy become the standard. Last weekend, activists from Istanbul to the Philippines took to the streets to promote anti-coal campaigns. (Lessening coal's role in energy creation is complicated by the fact that 1,200 new coal plants and mega coal mines are already planned in China, India, Australia, Indonesia, the U.S., Poland and Germany. If allowed to proceed, the true end of a clean atmosphere may be nearer than we know.)
Perhaps the best renewables-related news this week came from the International Energy Agency, which reported that by 2016 power generation from hydro, wind, solar, and other renewable sources worldwide will exceed power created by gas and be twice the amount provided by nuclear.
According to the awkwardly named IAE study "Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report," renewables are already the fastest-growing power generation section and are expected to grow by 40 percent in the next five years.
By 2018 it is estimated that one quarter of the world's power mix will come from renewables, up from 20 percent in 2011. The main reason: Costs are coming down.
One thing that has to change if all of these world plans are to work is that subsidies have to alter. Today, the old-school, fossil-fuel energies (coal, gas, oil) receive six times the government help that renewables do.
To that end, the best news in the IEA's report is that renewables are becoming increasingly cost-competitive. It cites several markets, including Brazil, Turkey and New Zealand, where building wind plants compete favorably with the cost of building new fossil-fuel burning plants.
That is something everyone should be talking about.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
Difficult to eat with more than a group of 4 people here, but the excellent flavours are great. I had soup and salad -- both excellent and inventive , and my friends had the taquitos which were a good portion for the money. Get here before 5 pm if you don't want to stand to wait for a table!
I haven't tasted the food yet but I've been here at least a dozen times since moving into the neighbourhood. I'm VERY glad to have Steeps in my area. It's my favourite tea spot in Vancouver.
The service has been prompt and always pleasant, which I like, and the ambience, hot water refills and sniffing "castle" are the best features. I've been courteously served by the francophone gentleman, the Asian woman, and the brunette with glasses.
I've sat there and studied for several hours without being rushed out the door as well. I've brought two or three other friends there as well and they have all approved highly.
I've come to the dessert cafe part dozens of times and it's the best French dessert place in town with the best ambiance. It's packed every evening, even in winter, despite its slightly isolated location.
Restaurant: I tried Trafalgars during the DineOut Vancouver promotion in Jan 2006 and had a delicious meal. I chose it because while all the other well known French restaurants in town (le crocodile, etc.) had a bland prix fixe menu during the promotion, Trafalgars had a more inventive and interesting menu. Our server was stellar, displaying a great deal of knowledge about the food. The food was quite satisfactory, I had no complaints.
The restaurant ambience I would rate more 3.5 stars -- it's not exactly trendy; it verges a little bit on 'neighbourhood restaurant." It's also a bit drafty if you sit opposite the front door (in the winter anyway)
The food is very very good considering the waterfront location! I felt I was taking a gamble after reading the reviews here and I was taking out of town visitiors. The experience was very very good. We went on last Friday night at 6 pm and only had to wait half an hour. The salmon was cooked properly, spicy chili prawns were very good. Not overly huge portions, but not minuscule either.
Our server was very attentive and had good timing, we have no complaints about the service whatsoever. The only thing she forgot was the dressing on the side for the salad (recommended, as they do have a slightly heavy hand).
I ate here twice with my French boyfriend, once in October 2005 and again in Feb 2006. The boeuf bourguignon, french onion soup and kidneys were outstanding and as good as you'll get in Paris. The atmosphere was boisterous, like a bistro should be. I also cooked a few recipes from the chef's cookbook and highly recommend it as well.

Today on 'Today': Star Jones, Obviously
Star Jones swanned her way to the Today show just now; the "fired" View co-host sat with Al Roker and spit out a bunch of saccharine reflections about the dramatics surrounding Tuesday's surprise resignation. No real bitchery, but definitely some Oscar-worthy "sincerity" about her time on the show — post-shitstorm, Jones said she received a heartfelt phone call from co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, which was a testament to her little white heart.
As for Barbara Walters, Jones said, "I still have her in my heart." But only because the lady can no longer fit in her stomach, of course.

3 ways to make difficult conversations easier
Over the past few months I've been working on a project for cancer services. We've been mapping communication to patient experience to find out when the best times are to have difficult conversations and share complex information. We've been speaking to people who are living their lives with a potentially deadly disesase, but who are willing, with some personal risk, to help researchers find better treatments for cancer in the future. Doing work with these brave – and generous people – has been a privilege. I've learnt three things we can all use – in our personal relationships and in business – to help us make difficult conversations less stressful:
- Trust
- Timing
- Self interest
Build Trust
Trust is fundamental. In our work with cancer services we found that a patient's willingness to engage in a difficult conversation was strengthened and supported by the trust they had in their doctor. Not only that, but trust in a doctor, was really supported by a larger web of trust built up from all the little trustworthy moments patients had experienced all along their patient journey. This greater trust in the NHS allowed patients we spoke to, to be willing to trust their doctors and be open to having difficult conversations.
We can all learn from this. It means that as consultants and coaches, small businesses and contractors, we need to strengthen our reputation and build trust with clients religiously. Trust is not automatic, it is a gift. It comes from demonstrating trustworthiness in every interaction.
Build trust:
- Be reliable – pay attention reliably delivering on the details
- Always do what it says on your tin – deliver on promises
- Delight, don't disappoint – go the extra mile.
We know that there are good moments and bad moments to have tricky conversations with our loved ones. Getting the timing right for a difficult conversation in business is just as critical. With cancer patients we found a no go zone for difficult conversations – a time to avoid sharing difficult or complex information. Being sensitive not only to your client's schedule, but also to events and changes in their workload or wider economic or policy environment can make all the difference between success and failure. Figuring out when a client is most approachable and open to discussion and when they are bogged down can make all the difference. Consider:
- daily routine – some people start early or finish late to work quietly and concentrate
- company routine – when are key board meetings or team meetings, do you need to speak before or after?
- business calendar – what events creating stress or opportunity are on the horizon?
Self Interest
We are all driven by self interest – even altruistic types enjoy a boost from their giving. The cancer patients we spoke to wanted to know 'am I going to be alright' and this single question filtered everything they could hear: it minimised the bad news and maximised the good. For those of us in business, we know 'what's in it for me' is critical in sales. If we forget it once we have the job or make the sale, it's always worth remembering that our businesses live or die by the bottom line. So no matter how difficult the conversation you need to have, always remember to present your problem from their perspective. Get into your client's shoes and engage them in a compelling, value rich conversation. What's in it for me isn't just for sales, use it to shape all important communications and be sure to offer value, always.

With the LTA to review both this calamity of a weekend in Lithuania and how Lloyd became the first British captain to lose five consecutive ties, his future looks extremely uncertain. The governing body would want Henman to guide the team in their Euro-African Zone Group Two relegation play-off against Turkey in July.
That would be quite a return to the Davis Cup scene for Henman, and quite an occasion for all the lapsed Henmaniacs among Britain's tennis public. The home tie would almost certainly be played on a grass court on the south coast, at Eastbourne's Devonshire Park, and if Britain lost they would drop into the lowest level of the competition.
For Britain's Davis Cup team, Life After Tim has not been a happy time, and Roger Draper, the LTA's chief executive, had little choice but to sit here on a hotel sofa and admit that he "shared the humiliation" after an excruciating, embarrassing defeat to a country whose tennis federation lives just above the poverty line and which only has three players with world rankings.
If someone had given Draper a hairshirt with 'RD' on the front, he probably would have worn it; he will need one if Britain lose to the Turks. Perhaps Henman could help Britain beat Turkey, who lost to Ireland at the weekend, but who have a decent leading player in Marsel Ilhan, who is ranked just outside the top 100 and who has qualified for the main draw of the last two grand slam tournaments, reaching the second round of last season's US Open and this year's Australian Open.
Since his retirement after the 2007 victory against Croatia on the Wimbledon grass, Henman has spent his time improving his golf handicap, looking after his three young daughters, sitting on the management committee for the All England Club and doing commentary for the BBC, but for some time now the LTA have been urging the former world No 4 to become more involved with British tennis.
One man who would be perturbed by the LTA's interest in hiring Henman as the Davis Cup captain is Greg Rusedski, his old rival from their playing days, as Rusedski has already let it be known that he covets the job. Rusedski is captain of Britain's junior Davis Cup team. During their time on tour, Canadian-born Rusedski sometimes felt put out at the extra attention, affection and endorsements that went Henman's way.
And now Rusedski could miss out over the Davis Cup captaincy because of the LTA's preference for Henman, who won 40 of his 54 Davis Cup rubbers.
There would be more chance of Andy Murray playing in future Davis Cup ties if the LTA could appoint Henman, as the Scot has a closer relationship with Henman than he does with Rusedski.
On Sunday evening, Lloyd disclosed that he was considering his position, that he would analyse whether he had "screwed up" and whether "someone else could do a better job". Yet, with more than a year left on his contract, it is unlikely that he would just resign and waive his right to compensation.
It might not be Lloyd's decision to make, as Steven Martens, the LTA's player director, said that a review would be conducted into what went wrong against a team of Lithuanian teenagers. "It's important that you don't make decisions in the heat and the emotion of the moment, 12 or 24 hours after the defeat," said Martens. "But you also have to make sure that it doesn't linger on, that you do a swift and decisive review. We'll do that. It's important that we'll do the review over many different things. We have to look at the players' performances, we have to look at the players' preparations, and players' selections. We'll see where we can do better, and see what we can do about it. The time frame for this is that we'll do the review over the course of the week."
There were suggestions last night that Paul Annacone could lose his job as the Davis Cup coach. However, should Henman captain the team, he might want to retain Annacone, who coached him at the end of his playing career.
Lloyd could only work with the players he was given. And, despite the millions that have been spent, he was not given much.
Draper has another three years to go on his contract, and he was yesterday arguing that the Davis Cup defeats have "obscured" all the good work that is being done in British tennis, and all the hopes for the future. "Ripping it all up and starting again would not help British tennis," he said.
According to Draper, there are a lot of shiny, happy people out there doing shiny, happy things. It was one of those occasions when it felt as though the British tennis scene was fuelled by a punchbowl of Pimm's, 'happy pills' and misguided optimism. This is a British tennis emergency; send for the Tiger.

Fed Begins Conducting Repo Agreements in Readiness Program
The Federal Reserve said it's conducting "small-value" repurchase agreements as part of its overall program to test it operation readiness.
The transactions, part of a series of temporary open-market operations that began in 2009, don't represent any change in monetary policy, according to a statement posted yesterday on the New York Fed's website. All eligible collateral types will be able to be used in the transactions, which will be conducted with the central bank's 21 primary dealers.
In June, the Federal Open Market Committee authorized the New York Fed to undertake repos and outright purchases and sales of securities, in addition to reverse repos, for such testing, the New York Fed said. Prior to today, the central bank has only conducted reverse repos as part of the readiness program.
The New York Fed hasn't conducted a repo since Dec. 30, 2008 and since then has added six primary dealers, the firms that act as counterparties to the central bank, and several system changes and as well as adjustments to support the reform of the tri-party repo market.
In repos, the Fed buys securities from dealers for a set period, temporarily raising the amount of money available in the banking system. At maturity, the securities are returned to the dealers, and the cash to the Fed. In a reverse repo, the opposite occurs.
The fed has historically used repos and reverse repos to help maintain the proper level of money in the banking system to keep overnight interest rates close to the central bank's target. The Fed has held its target rate for overnight loans between banks in a range of zero to 0.25 percent since December 2008.
In a tri-party arrangement, a third party functions as the agent for the transaction and holds the security as collateral. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. are the only banks that serve in a trade-clearing capacity in the tri- party repo market.

What are Lady Capulet's intentions for wanting Juliet to marry Paris as seen in Act 3, Scene 5 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? Does she actually want Juliet to get married or is she just fulfilling Lord Capulet's orders of telling Juliet that she is to get married?
- print Print

We see in the very third scene, the scene in which we meet Lady Capulet for the first time, that Lady Capulet is even more eager to marry off Juliet than Lord Capulet is. Therefore, we can surmise that Lady Capulet has her own reasons for wanting Juliet to marry Paris that are different from her husband's reasons.
We see Lord Capulet's initial hesitation at allowing Juliet to marry so young in the very second scene. When Count Paris asks him for his daughter's hand, apparently not for the first time, Lord Capulet replies that he feels his daughter is still too young to be married and tells Paris to "[l]et two more summers wither in their pride / Ere we think her ripe to be a bride" (I.ii.10-11). However, he changes his mind later on when he sees Juliet grieving so deeply over what he believes to be Tybalt's death. She is so deeply grieved that he worries about her sanity and her health, plus feels that marrying a good man like Paris will serve as a healthy distraction.
In contrast, Lady Capulet never shared her husband's hesitations. Instead, in Act 1, Scene 3, we see her trying to persuade her daughter to think of marrying Paris. She even uses as an argument that Lady Capulet herself was already Juliet's mother when she was Juliet's age, as we see in her lines:
By my count,
I was your mother much upon these years
That you are now a maid. (I.iii.75-77)
Not only that, while Lord Capulet responds to Paris's argument that even younger girls than Juliet are happily married by saying he feels she is too young and wants her to wait two more years, Juliet's mother argues the exact opposite. Lady Capulet, like Paris, tries to persuade Juliet by saying that younger girls than Juliet "[a]re made already mothers" (75). Hence we can say that since Lady Capulet disagreed with her husband's views on when Juliet should marry, Lady Capulet has her own motives for wanting Juliet to marry Paris so young. Her motives probably have a great deal to do with increased social standing and wealth. Paris, being a Count, is of much higher rank than Lord and Lady Capulet and owns a much wealthier estate. Therefore, his marriage to Juliet would greatly benefit the Capulets by increasing their social status as well as by increasing their daughter's wealth.

My Temp gauge seems to be very eratic. When I drive the car the gauge is fine. When I stop or put the car in park for a minute, the rage goes through the roof. When I turn the car off then on again, the temp gauge resets to give me a normal reading. The other day I also noticed the gauge running hot while driving up-hill, when I started going downhill, the gauge went down again, and gave me a perfect reading, once I was driving on a level surface. Is there some sort of ballast that may be malfunctioning, or possibly the Thermostat control sensor? I changed out the thermostat so I now it's not there
