TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 23, 2015) - Polaris Infrastructure Inc. (TSX: PIF) ("Polaris Infrastructure" or the "Company"), a Toronto-based company engaged in the operation, acquisition and development of renewable energy projects in Latin America, is pleased to provide the following corporate updates.
San Jacinto Drilling Campaign
Polaris Infrastructure is pleased to announce that on October 12, 2015, its wholly owned subsidiary, Polaris Energy Nicaragua, S.A., successfully commenced drilling the first of three new production wells for the San Jacinto project.
We anticipate drilling for the first of these three wells, SJ 6-3, to be complete in early December 2015, and to have a preliminary view with respect to permeability and geophysics around that date. We will proceed at that time with spudding well SJ 14-1 and the balance of the drilling and workover program for 2015/2016. Upon completion of drilling well SJ 6-3, there will be an approximately 30 day heating-up period, after which we will have thermal recovery and move to production testing in early January 2016.
Casita Financing
Further, Polaris Infrastructure is pleased to announce that its 95% owned subsidiary, Cerro Colorado Power, S.A., has entered into discussions with The World Bank Group with respect to financing for purposes of completing an initial drilling program at the Casita-San Cristobal project. These funds are expected to fall under the World Bank's $115 million Nicaragua Geothermal Resource Risk Mitigation program. We are now in an extensive due diligence process with the World Bank and expect to have more clarity on specific timelines early in 2016. To the extent we are able to close on a financing, it would enable the Company to pursue a drilling campaign at the Casita-San Cristobal project without requiring cash flow from our San Jacinto project.
About Polaris Infrastructure
Polaris Infrastructure is a Toronto-based company engaged in the operation, acquisition and development of renewable energy projects in Latin America. Currently, the Company operates a 72MW geothermal project located in Nicaragua.

Lovely tips and beautifully written article on how to take care for our skin. All those remedies are great and does a lot of help in rejuvenating our skin. However, in case home remedies are not enough to get rid of our skin problems, we should look out for professional advice.
Hai i like all your tips sure i will try. i need one advice me my two daughters one is 11 years old, oter is 3 years old we have dry skin all the time , and my daughters they eczema on eyes and lips ,itching, please please , give some advice, thanks a lot
This is a self-explanatory product, but take note of the technique. Gently tap Etude House Moistfull Collagen Eye Cream around the eye area. This leads to better absorption of the product, and of course eliminates any of that tugging and pulling.
Tip: "Applying toner with clean hands is the most efficient. Just pour a few drops in your palm, then swipe it on." Or if you prefer, you can pull apart a cotton pad "so it's not so thick before putting toner on it," Mattioli advises. Most formulas can be used morning and night, but you might want to use those with exfoliating acids only at night or every other day.
In this post, we have an exhaustive list of beauty tips for getting fair skin at home. But this isn't all about just face packs. We have also tried to cover specific foods and other skin care basics that are often ignored or overlooked.
Store beauty products in cool, dark places like medicine cabinets, drawers or closets. Once you've opened a jar its contents are exposed to light and air, which speeds up its deterioration. Jars and pumps prevent air entry
Homemade Moisturizing Face Mask: 1 cup of cooked oatmeal, 1 tablespoon honey, egg whites from one egg (for binding the ingredients together).Blend the ingredients and apply it to the face, keep it for 5-10minutes. Then gently rinse. Oatmeal and honey helps to soothe and moisturize the skin.
Fat is the most commonly used substance in this category. Your own fat is surgically removed from your thighs, buttocks, or stomach, treated, then injected. You will need to have two procedures (one to remove the fat and one to inject it). Both procedures can be done in one visit. Additional fat purification steps done in the lab can be costly and time-consuming. Results can be semi-permanent, although you may need a series of injections done over time.
It is difficult to manage oily skin, but there are several solutions to handle this problem. There is no need use expensive, chemical based skin care products. Some simple homemade remedies are found to be effective to deal with oily skin.
Our top pick, Paula's Choice Clear Regular Strength System, is a three-part system designed to unclog pores, heal breakouts, and soothe redness. We liked the dual approach of fighting acne and protecting your skin, making this kit a great starting point for your acne treatments. ($46)

Would have given this five stars except, didn't like the strong fragrance. I'm a bit sensitive and it did kind of cause me a bit of a problem with my skin, but I waited a bit and used it again later. As long as I alternate with other things it seems to be fine. It does have a nice feel on the skin, but it seems to dry my skin near my eyes a bit, but the rest of my skin is nice, smooth and soft. I'm a bit torn cause there are things I like and things I didn't and I know I can make a handmade lotion that I find a little better for my purpose, but due to all the skin types out there I would definitely say this one is better then others I've tried and certainly not bad. It's a pretty pure based lotion with lots of great ingredients that are good for skin so I have still rate it high.
Vitamin C. Another potent antioxidant, vitamin C may help protect skin from sun damage. Before and between uses, wrinkle creams containing vitamin C must be stored in a way that protects them from air and sunlight.
Don't overdo it. It can be tempting to layer on lots of cream, especially if you're excited about trying out a new product. But everyone's sensitivity to retinol and AHAs is different, so it's best to be cautious until you know how well your skin will tolerate the product. Dr. Ford recommends a graduated approach: "We tell our patients to begin using retinol on Mondays and Thursdays for a few weeks, then up it to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a few more weeks, and eventually you'll just be taking weekends off. Some people can tolerate these products every day of the week."
Benzac Intensive Spot Treatment ($12, target.com) is the best spot treatment we've ever used, which is some seriously high praise. Not only does it contain the classic salicylic acid, which exfoliates and decreases inflammation, says Dr. Bowe, but it also contains sandalwood oil to calm inflammation and counteract any dryness from the active ingredients. This treatment is a major steal: It's super affordable and it works on every type of zit including blackheads, whiteheads, and even angry papules.
These three ingredients work together to enhance* your skin health. Hyaluronic Acid helps in moisturizing and tightening your skin; Argireline helps in smoothening wrinkles and fine lines while Matrixyl 3000 and collagen work together to give your skin a youthful appearance.
Relax with a clay mask to reduce oil. Clay masks are great for people with oily skin. Smear them on your face after cleansing, and leave them on for fifteen to twenty minutes before rinsing off. Apply moisturizer afterwards.[12]
The real difference between the two is texture: Dr. Dennis Gross Brightening Solution is a thin, lightweight serum applied via a dropper. La Prairie is a creamy, luxurious-feeling lotion with a faint citrus scent that we loved. Your choice comes down to your budget and personal preference.

hii since you have oily skin, i would advise you to drink loads of water and apply orange peel face pack. soak orange peel in milk and leave it over night. grind it to a fine paste and mixed it with some besan. apply it all over the face and then wash it off after it dries
Use a face mask. Let's be honest: We love face masks not just for their ability to make our skin look absolutely ah-amazing but for how fun they are to use, too. Seriously, is there anything better than sitting back and relaxing with a face mask on? We think not! Try the L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Exfoliate & Refining Face Mask, L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Detox & Brighten Face Mask, L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Purify & Mattify Face Mask, L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Clear & Comfort Face Mask, or L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Clarify & Smooth Face Mask. Apply an even layer to clean, dry skin, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use your choice of face mask 2-3 times a week for best results.
What's Going On: You don't actually see these so much as feel them—which is why they're called blind pimples. "A blind pimple is like a balloon under the skin with no connection to the skin's surface, so there's nowhere for it to go," explains Zeichner. The pressure just builds beneath the skin, which is what makes it sensitive to the touch.
It has large pores and the skin has a coarse look. On the other hand, oily skin tends to age in a better manner and there are fewer wrinkles on it as compared to dry or normal skin. So it is not all that bad. But it is true that it is difficult to maintain an oily skin.
One easy way to de-stress your skin? Pare down your makeup routine so your pores can be exposed to actual oxygen. If you aren't willing to go completely makeup-free, try using just concealer, lip balm and mascara—even if only on the weekend. Hey, the look is called "fresh-faced" for a reason!
PAULA'S CHOICE VS. EXPOSED SKIN CARE As much as I hate to admit it fellas, I fell for it. Yes siree, I fell for the acne treatment products by Paula Begoun sold under the brand name 'Paula's Choice' despite being a severe skeptic of hyper-marketed products and claims. With a reputation that far precedes her, Read More …

With the holiday season rapidly approaching, I keep wondering what my first holiday season away from my family will be like. I feel incredibly fortunate that I made it to my mid-twenties before spending the holidays away from my family and their familiar traditions.
This afternoon will be the first time that I will not be with my parents, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandma as they sit down to Thanksgiving dinner together. They will gather at my grandma's house, whose counters will probably be covered in snacks and appetizers despite the approaching feast.
My uncle will most likely follow my late grandpa's tradition of brining and grilling the turkey. After everyone stuffs their faces with mashed potatoes, turkey, and Grandma's sticky buns, someone will help Grandma carry her Christmas tree up from the basement and set it up to the left of the fireplace in her living room.
By the end of the day, everyone will have forgotten which wine glass is theirs, and Grandma will make sure that at least one whole pie goes to every household, along with the rest of the Thanksgiving leftovers.
While I am already missing that time with my family, I still have much to be grateful for.
I am grateful for my loving, dedicated, supportive husband. I am grateful for the friends we have made in Grenada, some of whom we are lucky enough to be spending Thanksgiving with. I am grateful for my dog and his growing appreciation of cuddling.
I am grateful to have such a great relationship with my family and for all the memories and traditions that we share. I am grateful for my friends back home and that it is easy to stay in touch with them thanks to technology. I am grateful for my able body, the place we currently call home, the chance to live on abroad, free Wi-Fi, and the existence of ice cream.
That's all well and good. While I really truly am grateful for all those things – and too many more to count – two things stand out to me about that list.
The first is that I'm surprised more food items didn't make it onto the short list of things that I am grateful for. I mean, I plan my day around my meals. I am also truly sad for Husband, who does not seem to have the capacity to experience the pure joy that I do from eating delicious food. The short list may have to be revised to include Chipotle – of course I know the guacamole is extra – and pizza, at the very least.
All kidding aside, the other thing that stands out to me about the list is that most of the things that I am grateful for are the people in my life and the time that we are able to spend together.
The holidays can get so busy with gift buying and social engagements that it is easy to forget about what the person that you are buying the gift for means to you, or that you should be enjoying the time with the company that you are in.
As we gather with friends and family today and through the rest of the holidays, take a moment to really notice and appreciate the people you are with. Step back and notice the little conversations everyone is having, how the turkey smells, what the kids are doing. Take a snapshot of that moment in your mind so that you can remember it later.
If things get hectic during the coming weeks, return to that moment or think about the people in your life who you are grateful for and connect that to what you are doing. Connect it to why you are cooking, shopping, or traveling.
After all, it's not just the decorations or the weather or the food or the gifts that make the holiday season special. It is the time that we take during the holiday season to spend time with loved ones and show them how much we care about them and to feel how much they care about us, that makes it such a great time of year.
I think that if we can keep sight of that, it will make the holidays even more enjoyable.

Carson/Trump 2016? Could it be that a Wise, Gentle Man among the Predators in Washington needs one Holy Terror of a JunkYard Dog for a Vice President at his side. Trump is in second place in a new poll about the GOP field in New Hampshire, and Carson noted that "the numbers are going to jump around," but he's still happy for the real estate mogul.
Carson said he is happy to be potentially sharing a debate stage with Trump, and that he welcomes him to the race. It's not often you see one Pre-Primary Candidate endorsing another so enthusiastically. Could Carson be telegraphing a Carson /Trump Ticket in 2016? "Donald Trump has earned his place in the race for the White House as a man of 'significant accomplishment,' " Dr. Ben Carson, himself a GOP candidate in 2016, said Wednesday morning on CNN. 326
97 Nutrition is rarely employed by doctors as a dementia prevention strategy, with practitioners choosing to treat cognitive decline once it hits instead of focusing on preventative care in those most prone to dementia. Hopefully that will change, soon, thanks to a big new randomized, controlled study published in The Lancet, which makes the link between nutrition, lifestyle, and cognitive decline even clearer. Alzheimers & Yevo Essential Nutrients Foods rich in antioxidants and healthy fats fight against damaging oxidative stress, promote healthy blood flow to the brain," says Moskovitz, who also notes some (like dark chocolate) can even "provide a small dose of stimulation"for the day-to-day tasks.

Bossa nova
Bossa nova is a style of Brazilian music invented in the late 1950s by a group of middle-class students and musicians living in the Copacabana and Ipanema beachside districts of Rio de Janeiro. The name is translated as "the new beat" or "the new way". In Brazil, it became well known through the record "Chega de Saudade", performed by João Gilberto and composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes. The record was released in 1958. The name of the style is attributed to Jobim.

Natural Skincare Might Not Be So Natural…
Back in the days when I was an insecure teenager, I would try every skincare product under the sun to see if anything would clear my spots.
This ranged from Pro-Activ to Clinique to Wilkinsons; the list goes on.
However, a friend said the reason my blemishes were not clearing was due to using synthetic skincare.
So, being my naive self I bought a whole collection of tea tree skincare from a brand that promotes itself on being "100% natural".
Excited to see what would happen I eagerly slathered on the products before I went to bed and couldn't wait to see what I looked like the next morning.
Would I look like Candice Swanepoel with radiant skin? Or have Constance Jablonski flawless face?
Nope, I actually looked worse than the day before.
Why? Because I had an allergic reaction to one of their 'natural ingredients'.
You see, a couple of months ago I had reacted badly to a perfume after spraying it on my neck. The allergy left me with rashes and spots that were extremely irritating. So, when my face was showing the same effects as my neck did, I knew straight away what had happened.
To cut a long story short, I am allergic to the chemical; Alpha Isomethyl Ionone, a fragrance ingredient.
This chemical is actually in a lot of perfume, aftershave, moisturizer and other skin care including Paco Rabanne's Lady Million.
However, as reported by Cosmetic.Info Alpha Isomethyl Ionone is a synthetic ingredient meaning it was artificially produced.
Thus, the 'natural skincare' I had invested in was actually the opposite.
To the point where Ebearthborn said that Alpha Isomethyl Ionone is considered a possible human immune system toxin and is also toxic to the environment.
Similarly, Paula's Choice gave the chemical a rating of "Poor" saying it should be avoided by those who suffer from sensitive skin.
To say I was disappointed was an understatement, rather than clearing my skin, the products had actually made it worse. Also, being an age where self-confidence was at an all-time low, what was supposed to be a saviour turned out to be my nightmare.

Three seasonal items:
1) Out of The Box Publishing, maker of the lovely '10 Days...' series of games is giving away games to needy kids. All you have to do is go to there Facebook page and hit the Like button. Pretty simple and some kid gets a game for Christmas.
2) Love this. Board Game Family has a great article about what games to give instead of the latest, dumbest version of Monopoly. Did I mention I love this?
3) I'm eyeing the chocolate versions of various classic board games like Scrabble and Clue. Last year my sister gave me Monopoly which I was more than happy to consume. I think I'll be passing these out to others this year. It seems only appropriate.

John Eudes was born in Normandy, in France and was the oldest son of a farmer. Even as a child, he tried to copy the example of Jesus in the way he treated his family, friends and neighbors.
When he was only nine years old, another boy slapped his face and John felt himself becoming angry. Then he remembered Jesus' words in the Gospel: 'to turn the other cheek' and he did.
John's parents wanted him to marry and have a family. He gently but firmly made them understand that he wanted to become a priest. He joined the congregation of the Oratory and studied for the priesthood.
After John was a priest, there was plague in Normandy which brought terrible suffering and death. Father Eudes went to help the sick, caring for both their souls and bodies.
Later, he became a well-liked preacher of missions in parishes. In fact, during his lifetime he preached 110 missions.
St. John started many important religious congregations: the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity and the Good Shepherd nuns. He also started the Congregation of Jesus and Mary for priests. This congregation was dedicated to training young men to become good parish priests.
St. John was very devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Holy Heart of Mary. He wrote a book about these devotions.
John became sick after he preached an outdoor mission in very cold weather. He never fully recovered and died in 1680.
The Pope called John Eudes the apostle of devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

IAEA warns of 'Dirty Bomb' threat to a major world capitalNovember 21st, 2007 - 2:37 pm ICT by admin
Edinburgh, Nov.21 (ANI): The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has warned that terrorists might detonate a "dirty bomb" in a major city sooner than later.
William Nye, Home Office director of counter-terrorism and intelligence, told delegates that al-Qaida is actively seeking high-grade uranium and plutonium in order to detonate a "dirty bomb" in major cities such as London or Washington.
"As the terrorists look for the next spectacular attack, we know that al-Qaida in Iraq is calling on nuclear scientists to join in the jihad. Combating this threat requires international cooperation," The Scotsman quoted Nye, as saying.
Peter Jenkins, Britain's chief representative to the Vienna-based IAEA, told the conference that while it is not known if terrorists have acquired nuclear materials, the threat is real.
"Nuclear terrorism has been recognised as a genuine threat since the 1970s, and we have evidence that al-Qaida has been trying to acquire material since the 1990s. But since 9/11 the risk has become a widespread international concern," Jenkins said.
Steven Aoki, a counter-terrorism official at the US Energy Department, called for improved scrutiny of radioactive material used for industrial and academic purposes, and to prevent it from falling into the hands of terrorists.
"This is a major problem with a potentially large amount of radioactive material out there and unaccounted for. We need to get hold of it and store it securely," Aoki said.
The IAEA warning came at a four-day international conference being held on nuclear trafficking at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Around 350 experts from nearly 70 countries are assessing anti-terrorist programmes and discussing how to combat any threat involving nuclear material.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conference also heard that the UN agency is helping China guard against attack at next year's Beijing Olympics.
In August, the IAEA reported that there were more than 250 reported thefts or losses of nuclear material around the world in 2006, an increase of about 200 percent from 2002.
Most of the increase was due to better reporting and understanding by member states, but the IAEA also said that of the 150 incidents of "unauthorised possession" in 2006, 14 involved criminal activities, including illegal possession, movement or attempts to illegally trade these materials.
The conference also touched on fears that nuclear material could be supplied to terrorists from Iran, which is under Western pressure to halt its uranium enrichment programme.
The conference is set to run until Thursday. (ANI)

Is the Israeli Left any lesser invasive? Support Israelis who don't live in Israel
Happening upon a Middle Eastern restaurant advertising itself to be Israeli-owned, I wondered, as a BDS-adherant promoting boycott, divestment and sanctions to pressure the state of Israel to abandon apartheid and illegal occupation, if this business fell under the BDS dragnet. BDS targets Israel and not just products from the Occupied Territories as moderates might prefer. At times BDS also focuses on prominent Zionist enterprises whether they be Israeli or American. Very likely these proprietors evangelize for Israel, but I thought a broader principle suggested itself: LET'S DO SUPPORT ISRAELIS WHO DON'T LIVE IN ISRAEL! Wouldn't that be precisely the goal?! But a word about other Israelis for whom BDS is asked to make an exception, the oft-celebrated Israeli Left. Are we supposed to be reassured that many Israelis do not support the ethnic cleansing perpetuated by their right wing government? What of the purported majority of Americans who oppose our continued wars and our drone extrajudicial executions? If populations cannot prevent the crimes perpetrated in their name, indeed the responsibility falls to who other but them, does their objection earn any points until they act?

Rand Paul and the US political myth about the existence of an antiwar US Conservative Republican
Rand Paul, like his dad, Ron Paul, has built his stature up with the constant myth amongst so many US gullibles, that he is supposedly somehow Mr. Antiwar! But it is all skin deep this picture of what Hard Right Rand is really about. This Business Insider report Inside Rand Paul's Overnight Transformation Into A Pro-Israel Defense Hawk kind of spills the beans about this prospective Republican candidate for President next election time. Rand Paul is no more antiwar than Barack Obama and his cabinet are. To believe that he might be so is akin to believing in the Tooth Fairy.

US-backed Pakistan dictatorship halts own citizens protesting US bombing
The US government is allied militarily with some of the rattiest dictatorships of the world, as our criminal politician leaders tell us that it is them who supposedly are bringing democracy to the rest of the world! US backed Pakistan dictatorship halts Pakistani citizen antiwar demonstration against bombing by the US of their own country! See reporting about how the thuggish Pakistani government has stopped a protest against the US government's bombing of its own citizens. Does that look like democracy in action either in the US or Pakistan? It doesn't to us here at Not My Tribe. Pakistan halts anti-drone protest led by ex-cricketer Imran Khan.

Turks protest against war fever of their government and NATO
Many in the US government and European governments would like for Turkey to go and duke it out in Syria, but ordinary Turkish citizens are not in support of this war fever. See Protesters March Against War in Istanbul as Tension With Syria Escalates … The Obama regime has done little in its four years in office to diffuse the Pentagon sponsored war making in the Middle East and Asia. In fact, the Obama Administration seems to be using Syria as a stepping stone for a coming attack against Iran.

Code Pink thinking with its vagina, our apologies in advance for the language
Just kidding, about the anatomical reference giving offense. Not kidding about Code Pink "Women for Peace" thinking with their vaginas, making it the theme to their callout for the Tampa RNC in August. Agreed, men thinking with their reproductive organ is far more common, and generally dishonorable, but turnabout is fair play isn't it? Usually formidable antiwar powerhouse Code Pink is dropping its protest of drones and military intervention for the RNC, in favor of conferring legitimacy to the GOP's 2012 wedge issue, the War on Women. Does this presage a tempered message at the DNC, a la DNC 2008, where Barack Obama got a pass from Code Pink though he was the antiwar candidate in hope only?

Russia and China reject the US-Israeli-Western European push for war against Iran and Syria
The propaganda is now flowing full time, all designed to convince the US and European populations that a war against Syria and Iran is a necessary imperialist intervention. BUT IT IS NOT, and Russia and China are blocking the geo-political attack of the US Empire against them, by way of the US fomenting war against Syria and Iran as well. Vladimir Putin's spokesman has said Russia is not considering changing its stance on Syria and that any attempts to apply pressure on Moscow are "hardly appropriate".

Here's another one for ANZAC Day…
So, it was on or just before ANZAC Day four years ago, the last veteran of Gallipoli died. And I truly do get a bit sad and angry, betimes, when these guys are held up as a reason FOR more wars, more militarism, more police state bullshit. Sometimes I choke when singing Eric Bogle's song, "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda". There were 2 sections of the song:
"I looked at the place, where me legs used to be" and "But as year follow year / More old men… disappear / Someday no one will march there at all."

Who are you calling anti-soldier?
The pro-death contingent appear to have targeted Tribe as "anti-soldier", imagine that if you will. Just can't BUY better publicity, but they're giving it free of charge. They keep regurgitating the same vomit they've spewed last month, and the month before and the months before, ad infinitum, but they can't be Pro-Death AND Pro-Life, be it of soldiers or the unborn. One of the most remarkable journalistic "oopsie" moments of the Operation Iraqi Freedom Removal was the admission live on camera, about two hours before the bombs started dropping and six hours before the official deadline, that the ONLY businesses open in Baghdad were gun stores and obstetricians. Striking a triple whammy to Extremist Dogma.

The troops don't want your support, they want you to enable them
In protesting war, it's not enough to say you "support the troops", even as you advocate to "bring them home". Soldiers see criticizing war as directed at them because it underminds the purity of spirit they want to go about their destructive missions. Don't expect to get anywhere with trying to explain legal or moral issues. Their military indoctrination omits understanding war crimes like collective punishment, disproportionate force, massacre, murder, and by the looks of it, even rape of your fellow female soldiers. No, today's soldiers want enablers to help them "embrace the carnage" so they can "do what they have to do" wherever they're deployed. Even stationed stateside, they're unencumbered by critical thought, they certainly don't want to hear yours.

The Republicratic Party's two fake 'Peace' candidates, Ron Paul & Obama
Have Americans ever been so deluded before? At the last Occupy Colorado Springs activity I was at, person after person came up to me as I held a sign saying PEACE and informed me all knowingly that 'The War' was now all over with. When I replied to them that it surely was not, they shook their heads with disgust that I should be so ignorant as to think that! And even as the US is at war with much of the world and preparing for new 'interventions' in multiple places, many of the American public seemingly believe that the Republicrats are presenting them with 2 outstanding and shining Peace candidates for the presidency. Have we all fallen down the rabbit hole into Alice's Wonderland? I begin to wonder?

Support the Dupes
SUPPORT THE TROOPS? Oh let's address this buggaboo straight off. Apparently you can't protest war without disrespecting the troops, that criticizing the soldiers' mission means to criticize them for following their orders. Okay… if it is indeed all grey area for those lacking grey matter, then I suppose you can't support the troops. And so I WON'T, NOT A LICK. The killing needs to stop. Expressing "support" for those doing the killing gets you more killing. Here are two complementary banners to protest the use of drones to increase our remote killing:
Paired with the followup below, because what's an antiwar message today without the obligatory "support the troops" nonsense:

The Occupy Wall Street NO COMMENT art show reminded me of the antiwar gallery exhibit we featured at our own peace encampment in 2005. Among my favorite pieces was an interactive self-performance piece called HAVE YOUR CAKE, which featured a festive party table adorned with a sheet cake whose icing featured the likeness of a wounded Iraqi boy, into whom attendees had to cut to have a slice. Of course, no takers.

IRS says Cindy Sheehan owes $104K more in taxes than MF General Electric
From Cindy Sheehan, Facebook, Aug 29, 7PM PST: "I just got a notice from the IRS that I owe them 104 grand and they are going to levy my bank accounts and property. I don't have any property and there's less than 150.00 in my bank accounts. Looks like Fed Prison is in my future. I would rather go to prison than fund the crimes of this government. I am going to send them a notice that they owe me infinity dollars for killing my son."
When the MF IRS goes after the highest visibility, loudest voice, friend of world leaders, first name world celebrity, icon of American antiwar and anti-imperialist movement… WHO CAN DISSENT and feel safe?
(Cindy- "Infinity" won't compute and doesn't allow for a ceiling, I'm sorry to suggest you put a value on Casey's head, but how about 1.7 Trillion? Obviously they can manage that.)

Chicago G8 protest planners offer city guarantees of usual ineffectual actions
Organizers meeting today to plan against next year's G8 summit in Chicago hit the ground running –backward. On Friday a spokesperson for one of the coalition partners offered this assurance to the Chicago Tribune: "Our goal is a legal, permitted, family friendly march where people can come and have their voices heard in a safe environment." Interesting. The objective of successful past anti-globalization protests has been no less than to shut the undemocratic summits down.

A face to launch a thousand protests. Leak your trophy footage you cowards
This is a still from John Pilger's THE WAR YOU DON'T SEE, recently blocked from its US debut in Santa Fe. Why? Because such images will stop war. In particular this shows a terrified Iraqi girl held at gunpoint as her home is searched. I wonder how many such scenes have been captured by embed cameras or GI cellphones. Western eyes are being inoculated to violence and gore, our victims dehumanized, foreign civilians reduced to collateral, but it appears our media managers worry Americans cannot yet resist the ordinary tears of children. Imagine such scenes of heartbreak gone viral across the web. Never mind atrocity or war crime, show us emotional responses with which we can identify. The mass of digital records could doubtless overwhelm Wikileaks. These are not top secret, yet nearly any have been leaked. My appeal to the cowardly US soldier, or the damnable media embed, leak the footage which haunts you already, your PTSD may be the contagion to end public support for our state sponsored terrorism.

Nonviolence works, but Jesus saves
How is an antiwar message advocating a metaphysical ideal any different than saying that My God is better than Yours? My pacifist colleagues have distilled their protest slogan to "Nonviolence Works" which I believe is as provable as "Jesus Saves." Neither ideology can reduce beyond the afterlife. My god says love your neighbors. So what? Mine says kill my enemies. And what's more, God forgives me, particularly what I do in His name. To assail American Christian crusaders with with the logic of moral superiority is to argue that my god can lick your god. Believe me, God America is kicking Muslim ass on that front every day. Beside which, at best you're telling someone who wants to believe 2 plus 2 equals 3 that 3 & 1/2 is close enough.

Protest of police state lures police
COLORADO SPRINGS- Outnumbered! Though we comprised a perfectly respectable half-dozen on the hastily organized protest of FBI tactics meant to intimidate, scouting the city blocks which formed our periphery revealed motorcycle cops poised unseen behind corners. Is that merely obligatory, post-9/11, when activists speak out against intelligence agencies? Except for a building security guard who warned us the elevated planters along the sidewalk were private property, CSPD and state troopers kept an unobtrusive distance — well, enough to mask their number. Our sign-holding was the usual peaceful vigil, but our minders parked a solitary unmarked cruiser smack in our faces to keep up with [menacing] appearances. The proverbial chill on free speech.

Opposing war is not a crime: stop FBI suppression of antiwar activists JAN 25
COLORADO SPRINGS – JANUARY 25 – Protest the recent FBI raids and the DOJ grand jury subpoenas aimed at intimidating members of antiwar and Palestinian rights groups. Join Coloradans For Peace and compatriots beneath the windows of the FBI field office, located in the Plaza of the Rockies downtown, the complex where activists have been prevented from visiting their senator's office, mostly a mall of investment bankers and brokerage firms. Not without irony, the main facade is named for war profiteer consultancy Booz Allen Hamilton. Come Tuesday Jan 25, from 4pm to 5pm. Meet on the NE corner of Tejon & Colorado.
Some consider the FBI to be the lesser of the US intelligence community's seventeen known evils. Shall we draw the line at surveillance, infiltration and instigation of peace advocacy groups? Eric Holder's Department of Justice won't go after war criminals, torturers, or any facet of President Obama's accelerated abuses on human rights. But they want to target humanitarian groups in hopes of tying their social causes to "terrorism, " the traditional authoritarian label for political rival.

MLK was a man of action not sleep walking. He wanted to march against war, not with it, holding wind chimes.

''My God, this is 1806, for heaven's sake!'' a character exclaims in ''Mansfield Park,'' Patricia Rozema's smart, politically pointed screen adaptation of Jane Austen's third novel. This reminder of how every age foolishly fancies itself the most progressive and enlightened in the history of the world is drenched in irony. And it speaks to the heart of a film that is determined to invest Austen with as many prickly contemporary resonances as it can shoehorn in without appearing wildly anachronistic.
''Mansfield Park'' takes special pains to remind us that the glory of the British empire and the comfortable life of the novel's landed gentry were the products of colonial exploitation. Where the novel alludes to the slave trading business of Sir Thomas Bertram (Harold Pinter), the pompous authoritarian who owns the estate called Mansfield Park, the movie rubs our faces in his dirty business.
The novel's rather meek central character, Fanny Price (Frances O'Connor), has been retooled and pumped up for the film into a spunky Jane Austen stand-in who recites directly to the camera fragments from Austen's letters and diaries. The movie's Fanny is an ambitious, willful writer from a poor background whose unstoppable intellectual drive is synonymous with her integrity. Her categorical rejection of Henry Crawford (Alessandro Nivola), a wealthy aristocratic dreamboat whom Sir Thomas insists she marry, marks her as a proto-feminist heroine who risks losing everything by standing up to male authority.
Other modern touches include blatant drug addiction and hints of lesbianism. Sir Thomas's wife, Lady Bertram (Lindsay Duncan), is a bleary-eyed, nodding-out junkie in the thrall of the opiate laudanum. Fanny's friendship with Henry's sophisticated, scheming sister, Mary (Embeth Davidtz), who looks so much like Fanny she could almost be her twin, has a strong lesbian undercurrent, and in one scene the two women narrowly avoid falling into a passionate kiss. In another scene (not in the novel), Fanny discovers Henry in bed with someone else's wife. Fanny, although suitably appalled, appears to know enough about the birds and the bees not to require smelling salts after barging in on the pair in full sexual gallop.
In the hands of a less talented filmmaker, this extensive tinkering and modernizing might seem irritating and pretentious. But in peering beneath Austen's genteel surfaces and scraping away the Hollywood gloss that traditionally accrues to screen adaptations of Austen, Ms. Rozema has made a film whose satiric bite is sharper than that of the usual high-toned romantic costume drama.Continue reading the main story
Accentuating the aspects of ''Mansfield Park'' that lend it the aura of a feminist fable about women, power and money, Ms. Rozema turns it into the story of a clever, willful woman who grits her teeth and, in a reckless gamble, evades the dictates of an oppressive patriarchal society. One of the chief obstacles to Fanny's self-fulfillment is her poverty. Sent by her poor family in Portsmouth to live with wealthy relatives in Mansfield Park, she is treated like a servant and told that her lack of means has made her an unlikely candidate for a good marriage. The autocratic Sir Thomas, who rules the palace, ignores Fanny until she matures into a pretty young thing, at which point he can barely keep his hands off her.
One element of the story Ms. Rozema hasn't updated is Fanny's abiding love for Edmund (Jonny Lee Miller), Sir Thomas's goody-goody bookworm of a younger son, who forgoes the family business to become a clergyman. In keeping with 19th-century romantic convention, it isn't until the very end that Edmund comes to his senses and realizes that Fanny (and not Mary, who in one startling scene reveals herself to be a kind of period Joan Collins character) is the love of his life.
The film's portrayal of early-19th-century affluence is notably more austere than in other film adaptations of Austen, which surround the characters in ruffles and flourishes. Mansfield Park is an imposing but sparsely accommodated palace whose overall grimness mirrors the constricting puritanical morality of English society and Fanny's prisonlike confinement within social convention. Casting Ms. Duncan in the dual roles of Fanny's impoverished mother (who married for love and ended up in desperate straits) and her well-to-do but drug-addicted aunt, Lady Bertram, suggests the harsh choices forced on women in those days.
The absence of frilly decor also allows the director to concentrate on the characters. Ms. O'Connor's likable Fanny suggests a quick-witted, wised-up 90's version of a 1940's Jennifer Jones heroine. Biting his lips and looking alternately sheepish and pious, Mr. Miller reins in his swashbuckling energy to make a credibly humble Edmund. Mr. Nivola's Henry conveys the pouting narcissism lurking just beneath a surface charm. But the movie's most imposing performance is Mr. Pinter's thunderous Sir Bertram. A quintessential 19th-century English patriarch, he is the embodiment of an overweening male authority, which the upstart Fanny and subsequent generations of rebellious women feel impelled to disobey.
The movie is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It has sexual situations.
Written and directed by Patricia Rozema; based on the novel ''Mansfield Park'' by Jane Austen, and her letters and early journals; director of photography, Michael Coulter; edited by Martin Walsh; music by Lesley Barber; production designer, Christopher Hobbs; produced by Sarah Curtis; released by Miramax Films and BBC Films. Running time: 105 minutes. This film is rated PG-13.
WITH: Embeth Davidtz (Mary Crawford), Jonny Lee Miller (Edmund Bertram), Alessandro Nivola (Henry Crawford), Frances O'Connor (Fanny Price), Lindsay Duncan (Mrs. Price, Lady Bertram) and Harold Pinter (Sir Thomas Bertram).Continue reading the main story

More recently, modern works of science fiction, such as those by Philip K. Dick and William Gibson , and films (e.g. Blade Runner , Ghost in the Shell ) project highly ambivalent or cautionary attitudes toward technology's impact on human society and identity.
What we as progressive thinkers must do – because no one else is doing it – is acknowledge the ways in which technology can serve us, understand the ways in which many technologies have harmed us and develop some kind of rubric through which we can evaluate the merits of existing and emerging technologies.
For example, the Alice Springs School of the Air in Australia relies on satellite technology to teach children from distant communities. The GPI would take stock of several of the risk …

Fewer retirees are expected to receive spousal or survivor benefits from Social Security and private employer-sponsored pension plans in the future, increasing their economic vulnerability, according to a new government report.
The report, released Wednesday by the Government Accountability Office, noted that over the past 50 years, the composition and work patterns of the American household have changed dramatically. During this period, the proportion of unmarried and never-married individuals in the population increased steadily as couples chose to marry at later ages and live together prior to marriage. At the same time, the proportion of single-parent households more than doubled.
"These trends were more pronounced for individuals with lower levels of income and education and for certain racial and ethnic groups," said the report. "Over the same period, labor force participation among married women nearly doubled."
Taken together, these trends have resulted in a decline in the receipt of spousal and survivor benefits and married women contributing more to household retirement savings.
From 1960 through 2011, the percentage of women aged 62 and older receiving Social Security benefits based purely on their spouse's (or deceased spouse's) work record declined from 56 to 25. At the same time, the percentage of women receiving benefits based purely on their own work records rose from 39 to 48.
Further, as of 2010, among married households receiving pensions, 40 percent had elected not to receive a survivor benefit. Rising labor force participation among married women enabled them to contribute more to household retirement savings. From 1992 to 2010, married women's average contributions to household retirement savings increased from 20 to 38 percent.
In the future, fewer retirees will receive spousal or survivor benefits from Social Security and private employer-sponsored pension plans, increasing vulnerabilities for some. Eligibility for Social Security spousal benefits among women is projected to decline, in part, because fewer women are expected to qualify based on marital history and more are expected to qualify for their own benefit based on their own work record.
For many women, this shift will be positive, reflecting their greater earnings and capacity to save for retirement. However, women with low levels of lifetime earnings and no spouse or spousal benefit may face greater risk of poverty in old age.
Marriage has historically helped protect the financial health of couples and surviving spouses in old age, the GAO noted.
"Based on their marriage, and independent of their own work history, spouses may receive retirement and survivor income through Social Security and some employer-sponsored pension plans," said the report. "Many of the federal requirements governing these benefits were developed at a time when family structures, work patterns and pensions were very different from what they are today."
In recent decades, marriage has become less common, more households have two earners rather than one, and many employers have shifted from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans.
For private plans, the shift from defined benefit to defined contribution plans increases the vulnerability of spouses because of different federal protections for spouses under these plans. DB plans are required to offer survivor benefits, which can only be waived with spousal consent. In contrast, DC plan participants generally do not need spousal consent to withdraw funds from the account.
For the report, the GAO analyzed nationally representative survey data, including the Survey of Consumer Finances, the Survey of Income and Program Participation, and the Current Population Survey. It also conducted a broad literature review and interviewed agency officials and a range of experts in the area of retirement security. The GAO made no recommendations in the report.
The Senate Special Committee on Aging plans to convene a hearing next Wednesday on senior poverty, and GAO officials will be on hand to discuss the report's findings with lawmakers. The GAO report was requested by the committee last year following a hearing that examined women's retirement security.

Uni spin-off Kromek planning £75million float
HI-TECH specialist Kromek, which develops x-ray imaging and radiation detection products, is planning to join Aim.
Now valued at £75million, it was spun out of Durham University in 2003 and hopes to raise £15million in the float, with Panmure Gordon as advisor and broker.
Formerly known as Durham Scientific Crystals, it has become a world leader in materials identification from its base in County Durham.
The company employs more than 100 people there and at its other sites in the US and Germany, and it says it is set to move into profit this year.
Kromek designs, makes and supplies detection and imaging components for next-generation x-ray machines, helping to detect cancer and osteoporosis.
Commercial applications of its technologies also include detection and analysis of radioactive materials, scanning liquids at airports without opening containers – thus helping to speed up security for passengers – and screening for liquid explosives.
Kromek's global customers include Northrop Grumman and EDF, as well as research institutions in the medical, security screening and nuclear markets.
The company also has contracts with US government agencies.
The business is established in its markets and its business model is proven. Kromek is now seeking to raise additional capital to accelerate its growth and harvest value from our technologies
Chief executive Arnab Basu said: "The demand for Kromek's materials identification technology in the medical imaging, security screening and nuclear detection markets is real.
"The business is established in its markets and its business model is proven. Kromek is now seeking to raise additional capital to accelerate its growth and harvest value from our technologies."
He said the company was well established in Britain, with a presence in America, and was poised to grow rapidly.
Basu added: "To that end being admitting to Aim is an attractive option, providing the company with both access to capital and tradeable equity, should any acquisition opportunities arise in the future."
