Boycott-hit voting begins in Kuwait
Send a link to a friend
01, 2012]
(AP) -- Security forces watched over polling stations Saturday as Kuwait held parliamentary elections that underscored the deepening divide between the ruling establishment and opposition groups staging a widespread boycott of the voting.
The election is certain to bring a pro-government parliament after months of political upheavals in the strategic Gulf nation, a major oil producer and hub for U.S. ground forces as part of the Pentagon's military counterweight to Iran.
But the election snub now leaves a broad range of opposition factions -- ranging from hardline Islamists to Western-leaning liberals
-- outside the political process and raises the risks they could increasingly take their grievances to the streets.
"I'm certain that the boycott will have an effect on the turnout," said Information Minister Mohammad al-Abdullah Al Sabah, a member of the ruling family.
He appealed, however, for the opposition to confine their objections within the country's "legal framework."
The anti-government groups have bitterly denounced a decree in October by Kuwait's emir to end an unusual balloting system that allowed four choices per voter.
Critics claim the new one-vote-per-person rule will make it easier for state authorities to potentially influence the outcome. They also say the emir overstepped his authority by changing the voting rules without public debate.
On the eve of the election, more than 15,000 people joined a peaceful pro-boycott march in the first rally permitted by authorities since a ruling last month banning gatherings of more than 20 people.
Security forces were deployed around polling stations, but there were no immediate indications of unrest or boycott supporters trying to disrupt the voting. Some opposition groups predict turnout could be well below 50 percent.
Kuwait has the Gulf's most political powerfully parliament, which was in the hands of Islamists and their allies earlier this year before the courts dissolved it over a legal challenge by the ruling establishment over electoral districts.
The country also has some of the widest political and media freedoms among the Gulf Arab states, but key government posts and policies remain under the control of the ruling family.
Complaints against authorities include increasing efforts to muzzle free speech and failure to have Kuwait's economy and growth keep pace with other dynamic Gulf centers such as Qatar's capital Doha and the United Arab Emirates' hubs of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Last month, four people were arrested on charges of insulting Kuwait's emir in Twitter posts.
[to top of second column]
Yet Islamists and their backers also worry many Kuwaitis for open support of stricter Muslim codes such as censoring artists and imposing death sentences for those convicted of denigrating Islam.
A 29-year-old voter, Ali Boushehri, said he was frustrated with both sides.
"I hold the government accountable for many of our shortcomings in Kuwait, and that is why I am voting," he said. "I don't agree with the opposition. Boycotting is not a good thing to do ... I want to vote because I believe in democracy."
The region's popular uprisings have not spilled over to Kuwait in a major way as in nearby Bahrain, and it remains unlikely opposition groups would wage an all-out challenge to the current system and risk losing the generous cradle-to-grave benefits provided by the state.
But clashes last month between protesters and security forces displayed the potential for violence to escalate.
Kuwait also has been hit by a wave of labor unrest and strikes earlier this year, including walkouts that grounded the state carrier, Kuwait Airways, and temporarily closed customs posts and left several hundred trucks stranded at the border.
Calls for better working conditions have grown louder in the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings. Kuwaitis are used to well-paid government jobs and benefits that increasingly have become a burden on state finances despite the country's huge oil wealth.

While cousin Cindy was in Salt Lake City digging up everything she could find on our Piggott ancestors she found the book "The Salt Lake City 14th Ward Album Quilt, 1857" by, Carol Holindrake Nielson. Included in this book is a three page history on my 2nd great-grandmother, Elizabeth Edwards Cannon, and her mother, Mary Edwards Cannon Taylor, as well as photos of the quilt blocks that they made. In her awesomeness she sent me a photocopy (thanks cuz!).
Apparently Elizabeth used her step-father's last name which I did not know until I saw her embroidered signature in her block.
How awesome to be able to see a sample of their needlework. Would sure love to see this quilt in person. This book is actually available at the following places:

Rescuing Rosie
Rescuing Rosie
A Katz Tale By Ellen Whyte
One of my secret pleasures is to go for a hair wash. I've got a nice salon near me that throws in a mini massage so I come out feeling relaxed and looking as sleek as an Afghan hound.
So there I was, sneaking off on a Sunday afternoon in glorious anticipation of a good time, when a little cat appeared at the bottom of our road. As I slowed down for him, I could see he was hurt. His whole side was bloody.
When I pulled over and got out, the little cat took refuge under a parked car. I lay on the street, took one look, and raced for the house. I'd seen such damage before but only in pictures. Someone had thrown boiling water over this little fur.
T-man, my partner in life and all round good egg, has the advantage of being brought up on a farm. He came out and pronounced the cat to be a serious state but no infection.
While we crawled around on the street, an elderly lady came out. She told us the cat was a stray, and that the injury had happened a day or so before.
We couldn't get to the cat so I did the next best thing: I got my camera, took some shots, and went to see the vet. Dr Baz looked, exclaimed, and gave me some super duper antibiotics. He refused to let me pay too, the darling.
I went home, ground up a pill in some aromatic tuna and chicken cat food, and went to the car where the kitty was hiding. I put the bowl down and backed off. There was an instant of silence, and then the sound of hurried chomping and slurping.
Two minutes later, a black girl cat came out followed by a good looking blue eyed cat with a grey mask and ears. The medicated food was gone but I had a handful of biscuits with me as backup. The two other kitties made a meal of those, and I realized I had just adopted 3 stray cats.
The next morning the black girl was friendly and greeted me with loud meows while the sick kitty hid under the car. The blue-eyed cat distinguished himself by rushing over and clawing me over the knuckles so that I would drop the bowl of cat food. I named him Mugger, and upped his biscuit ration.
Over the next week I made two trips a day to medicate and feed the cats. I had only met one or two of the people at the end of our street before but trudging down there twice a day introduced me to the other residents.
What was cheerful was that everyone expressed shock at that poor cat's plight. As one new friend put it, "It makes me feel creepy that someone in our neighbourhood could do such a thing." Another lady who came out to see why I was crawling about under her car burst into tears when I pointed out the sick little cat.
We all speculated on who could have done it but we couldn't identify a culprit for certain. Some new friends pointed the finger at the workers who are renovating a house near us. However, as these kindly men demanded daily updates on how the sick kitty was doing, and I saw them sharing their rice and curry with the strays too, I pointed out that was most unlikely.
I thought, and still think, it's the work of a foreign maid who feels frustrated and unrecognized, or of an elderly person who has the old-fashioned belief that animals are objects with no souls or feelings.
While the culprit remained a mystery, the sick kitty slowly began to trust me. At first he darted out from under the car, and then darted back into the safety of the darkness again. Then he became brave and stood on the street, eating out of the bowl while I stood a few steps back. Finally he ate out of the bowl while I held it.
Now I was allowed to come close, I could see the wound was improving. The layers of dermis were thickening and there was no sign of infection thanks to Dr Baz's wonderful medicine. But the damage was so great, that I knew this little cat needed professional help if he were to heal properly.
Unfortunately I couldn't pick him up. I didn't want to frighten him. I had to be patient.
When a month had passed, the little cat allowed me to rub his ears. Then I was allowed to rub his good side. Emboldened, I brought my cat carrier along to one of our breakfasts. My furry friend took one look and bolted.
I thought this a small setback and was prepared to be patient but suddenly, in the space of 24 hours, the little cat seemed to sink. He missed two meals and came back looking sad and sorry.
As it was a Monday morning and everyone was at work I alerted my neighbour Jett who works from home like me. He helped me crawl under various cars but our effort at catching the little cat proved useless. Convinced he was in real trouble, I was in despair.
At this point another neighbour, Umi, volunteered to take a turn. She and her husband are very fond of cats. They feed the strays that live in their back lane, have a tribe of indoor cats, and also provide a home for our last rescue Cole the Tuxie cat.
Umi borrowed our cat carrier, set up a dish of food inside, backed off and carefully lulled our sick friend into a sense of security. On the third day he entered the box for his breakfast, Umi crept up on him and shut the door.
This was last Sunday, six weeks to the day we first spotted him.
Concerned that this cat might not make it, and in the false belief that I could distance myself from too much hurt, I had carefully refrained from naming him. But Umi had no such reticence; she informed me that she'd called him Rosie.
I must admit that when I first saw this cat, I thought he was a girl until T-man pointed out that the kitty had man-parts. Umi laughed when she realized but we decided to let the name slide for the moment. The most important thing was to get Rosie into hospital.
The moment Dr Baz opened his clinic, we were on his doorstep. There was nobody there so we went straight in. When I put the carrier on the table, Rosie was sitting at the back, growling furiously. I was armed in a thick work shirt, and I had gloves and a towel with me too.
Convinced the gloves would freak Rosie out, I left them off and gently moved the towel around the cat. He let me edge him out of the box, and all look well until the surgery door jangled and a pack of girls came in with a doggy patient.
Quick as a flash, Rosie turned around in his skin, slashed a claw into my thumb, and shot off into the dispensary behind us.
Getting him back into the box was a nightmare.
At first Rosie jammed himself behind the dispensary fridge. Dr Baz tried to inject him with tranquilizer but the instant Rosie felt the needle in his bum, he levitated, turned about in the air, and dived under a counter. Not a drop of dope went in.
As Rosie was hissing like a fiend, we stepped back and decided to give him time to calm down. Dr Baz went off to treat the dog and I kept an eye on the cat.
For the next hour, I tried getting Rosie into the cage. As he was wedged into a corner, I put the cage in front of him, and then tapped the wall, hoping Rosie would move forward and into the box. He didn't.
Then I rolled up a newspaper, and gently moved it towards Rosie's tail. I hoped it would propel him forward and into the cage - but it didn't. Rosie just sat put, hissing like a python.
When Dr Baz was done with the dog, he tried using his "dangerous dog" pole. However, Rosie just pawed the loop away from his face whenever it came near. While this confirmed cats are much more forward-thinking than dogs, it was frustrating!
Each time we came close to him, Rosie would launch a hissing, spitting attack. Eventually I came up with a cunning plan that would take advantage of this.
While Dr Baz went off to inoculate some puppies, I put on the heavy-duty gloves and wrapped a towel lightly around my arm. I made sure the cage was in front of Rosie, and that he couldn't avoid running into it if he moved. Then I picked up the rolled up newspaper and edged it towards the cat with one hand while I put my gloved and toweled arm in front of Rosie.
Rosie reacted just as I hoped. He launched himself at my arm, fixed all of his claws into the towel, and bit and clawed for all he was worth. In one smooth move, I moved my arm into the cage and gently dumped the cat, the towel and the glove into the bottom. Then I closed the door.
For a few seconds Rosie lay on the floor of the cage, venting his rage on the towel. Then he realized what I'd done. He lay still for a second, and then yowled at me. His language was appalling. But I was glad to see he wasn't running wild in the cage and hurting himself. Sensible in defeat, Rosie lay still and swore furiously.
It had taken me 90 minutes to get Rosie into the cage but despite all the drama, all I had to show for it was a single claw puncture - the one Rosie gave me right at the beginning of his fight for freedom.
The rest was simple. While Dr Baz attended the patients in his clinic, I went home and had a soothing shower and some lunch. Then I returned to find Rosie already sedated and under the knife.
Much to my surprise Dr Baz was very pleased with the look of the wound. He said it was clean, the Rosie was otherwise in good nick, and that once the whole thing was stitched, Rosie would be ok. He estimated it would take about 10 days. I called Umi and listened to her cry as I gave her the good news. I didn't shed a tear. Honest.
As the surgery was full, and it takes two people to stitch a cat up, I bravely volunteered to assist. While I held the skin together with some fearsome looking technical implements, Dr Baz stitched. Thankfully, about 3 stitches into the job, Mrs Dr Baz came in. She knows how squeamish I am, and I was terribly grateful to see her take over.
In the end it took some 30 stitches to patch Rosie up. We decorated her with a lampshade to prevent her from chewing her wound, and set her back in the cage.
The recovery period posed some problems. I can't have Rosie in my home as Au, Target and Guido are vehemently opposed to feline boarders, and Umi has her own tribe at home who feel the same way. Malaysia is nice and warm 24C day and night but we didn't want Rosie to stuck in a cage outside either. It's just too stressful.
Luckily we have great friends and some excellent local facilities. I called our friend Za who runs a super salt water aquarium shop and who has a room at the back with rescued strays up for adoption. We set Rosie's cage in there, and left him to unwind.
We also renamed him Ross but for some reason the name hasn't stuck. Our poor boy is likely saddled with a girl's name for life.
Being at Za's is the best thing for Rosie because Za has a magic touch with cats. Within 24 hours Rosie let her pet his ears. By next week he'll be cuddly. Then of course I'm going to show up and take him to the vet to have his stitches out, and be neutered and vaccinated to boot.
Although I can't say I like being hissed at, I'm prepared to be the bad person here, just as Za laughing says she's willing to play the good one. What's important is to get Rosie back into shape.
We've also settled on his future. Rosie is a young cat, possibly 18 months or 2 years old, but as he has been on the streets and has had such a bad time, he's an unlikely prospect for rehoming. Also, there are shelters as well as independent rescuers like Zaa who have dozens if not hundreds of socialized pets looking for a home.
I took a poll of the neighbours at the end of the road to ask them how they viewed Rosie and his two stray pals. They agreed that if I have them all neutered and vaccinated, and that if I am responsible for feeding them, they won't mind the cats living there.
The one caveat is that we've capped the TNR crowd at 3 cats; anyone else coming in will have to be handed over to the SPCA - and most likely that would be the end of them. But I digress...
Our plan therefore is to put Rosie back on the street when he's fully recovered. It's not ideal but it's the best solution I can think of. Also, I'm not alone because Umi has agreed to help.
Once Rosie is out, the black girl is our next venture. As she should be simple to deal with, I am putting my effort into a longterm campaign to get Mugger into the clinic. He's a tough baby and very suspicious so this is going to take some doing.
Wish me luck?
PS As Rosie still looks awful, there will be no photos till next week. Instead here's a pic of Mugger and a pal who dropped by for a free lunch.

Thank you for sharing. It is stories like this that keep my complete hatred of "people" at bay.. Too often I hear the stories of Rosie up to the point where he is found like that.. it is rare I hear people going above and beyond. It is nice to be reminded that people who care are out there.
- Marg said...
Gosh, you sure did a good job catching and taking care of Rosie. Well done getting him back in the cage at the vets. I just have to thank you for doing all that. Sure makes me smile. There are so many cats that get hurt and don't ever have a chance. Take care.

I enjoyed reading this story very much and applaud your efforts to help these cats. Living in a very rural area in NC I have also helped spay and neuter many of the cats and left them to live out their lives outdoors with a shelter and food and care from me. Sometimes that is the best you can offer under the circumstances. Sending lots of healing energy to Rosie!

Bless you for helping Rosie out. I hope he recovers well & is able to live back on the street as a healed mancat. Mugger & his friend have interesting markings. maybe if they can be socialized they may have a better chance of adoption. we all know our household limits and sometime have a single who will not accept anyone else in their home. thanks for the update!

today at around 2.30pm, while me and a few of my friend were having lunch, we saw a man kicking a poor kitty on the stomach pretty hard to shoo it away from the motorcycle that he was going to ride on. My friends and I were totally gasping in disbelief. He could have just shoo the cat in a scary voice or something instead of kicking it. Crazy world we live in right now.

Marketing Advice & Reflections
The (Almost) Silent Bombshell Canada Dropped on Google
One of our clients has a cancer facility. In Canada.
We have been running some effective remarketing campaigns for them for a couple of years based on a simple combination list of All Visitors less Converted Visitors - we have also been running an RLSA campaign and a campaign to the "Similar to" lists - pretty standard stuff.
Yesterday our lists got disapproved and closed. Not the ads, not the campaigns - the lists themselves. The messages on the campaigns referred to the fact that the lists could not be used.
Straight on the phone to Google. I won't go into the details of the conversation - the bottom line is the rep didn't really know why the lists had been closed, but she called me back a couple of hours later to tell me that this was because we can no longer use remarketing lists for medical services.
That was as incomplete and unsatisfactory an answer as I have ever had from Google so I turned to one of the Top Contributors on the Google Community Forum. He's an expert when it comes to policy. He knows more than Google themselves.
Two clues, he told me - medical facility and Canada.
Yep - Canada.
Here's what has just happened....
Canada's Privacy Commissioner has reached a ruling that Google's Remarketing platform violates Privacy Laws by using sensitive information. Things such as health, race, religion or sexual orientation are considered "sensitive" - and, of course, they are. So Google's response has been to close remarketing lists where membership of the list implies - in our case - a medical condition - and where members of the list are in Canada.
The implications of this are wide reaching.
If you run a site for a Church and want to remarket you wouldn't be able to.
A gay friendly vacation resort would not be able to remarket.
A plastic surgeon would not be able to remarket surgical procedures.
Presently, this is affecting remarketing lists where Canada is implicated. It is unclear as to whether this is because our client is in Canada or because some of the people in the remarketing audiences are in Canada, we still need to clarify this - but there is every possibility that this is to be rolled out Google wide with massive implications.
Has anyone else seen remarketing lists closed for similar policy violations - we'd love to hear from you to see how wide the net is being cast.

6 interview questions that will make any employer want to hire you
Did you ever think to ask an interviewer why she wouldn't want to hire you? Such a question could land you your dream job.
Common advice among job seekers is that when you attend an interview, you need to interview the employer right back. After all, you're the one who will potentially fill the position. You need to know if it's going to be a good fit, right?
While salary ranges, benefits and schedule flexibility are important details you deserve answers to, hiring managers don't appreciate questions like those until at least your second interview (or maybe even after they make you an offer).
During your first interview, the "impress me" dance is still in full swing. When a potential employer asks if you have any questions, she doesn't want inquiries about parking validation; she wants to see if you're prepared, educated and inquisitive.
Here are six questions to ask at the end of your interview that will help you master the twisted tango of getting hired.
1. "If I were to start tomorrow, what would be the top priority on my to-do list?"
The answer to this question will give you more insight into the current state of the position while showing you're invested and interested in learning how you can start things off with a bang.
The added bonus lies in the Jedi mind trick: You already have your interviewer picturing you as the position holder.
2. "What would you say are the top two personality traits someone needs to do this job well?"
The answer to this question will be very telling. You can translate "creative" and "intuitive" to mean you will be on your own, while "patient" and "collaborative" could mean the opposite.
Not only will this question allow you to feel out whether you'll be a good fit, it will get your interviewer to look past the paper resume and see you as an individual.
3. "What improvements or changes do you hope the new candidate will bring to this position?"
This answer can shed light on what might have made the last person lose or leave the job, as well as tip you off on the path to success. Asking this shows an employer you are eager to be the best candidate to ever fill this position.
4. "I know this company prides itself on X and Y, so what would you say is the most important aspect of your culture?"
This question is sure to impress. It shows you researched the company, and gives you a chance to gain insight into what values the company holds highest.
5. "Do you like working here?"
This question might take the interviewer back a bit, but his answer will be telling. A good sign is a confident smile and an enthusiastic "yes," paired with an explanation as to why. Consider it a red flag if he shifts in his seat, looks away, coughs and starts with "Well…"
Regardless of their answers, employers appreciate the chance to reflect on their own opinions, and it turns the interview process into more of a conversation.
6. "Is there anything that stands out to you that makes you think I might not be the right fit for this job?"
Asking this question can be scary, but also beneficial. Not only does it give you a chance to redeem any hesitations the employer might have about you, it demonstrates you can take constructive criticism and are eager to improve. These are valuable qualities in any candidate.
What other questions wow interviewers?

This recipe is incredibly easy. I always forget how easy, until I come to cook it again and think "is that it?!" I've made this recipe lots of times now, and I don't change a thing, it has just the right amount of chilli and ginger for me. I use soya beans, as that's what's available at my supermarket. I'd never had them before, and they're very nice, not dry like broad beans.

Mentioned on Mashable this week, Facebook has started testing threaded comments on the Web version of the social network. Rather than posting a replay at the end of a long string of comments, this allows Facebook users to directly reply to comments within a conversation that's on a user's Timeline page. Beside the Like button on individual comments, Facebook has placed a "Reply" link to open up a comment box. After the reply is submitted, a smaller version of the user's profile picture will be positioned underneath the original comment. In addition, there's another new link called "Write a Reply" that appears underneath the newly nested comment. Facebook has also added a "Hide Replies" button on the original post to allow users to hide that portion of the conversation.
In a statement released to Mashable, Facebook corporate communications manager Meredith Chin confirmed the testing process stating "We are testing a new way to add comments to a post on Facebook. Now you will be able to reply to another comment as well as the original post."
Assuming nested replies works in conjunction with the notifications feature, Facebook users won't have to tag someone's name in the reply in order to get their attention. This will also be useful when conversations tend to veer off course from the original post or when brands need to specifically reach a fan. Threaded commenting has been a feature offered through Facebook's comment plugin for third-party sites, but Facebook has yet to roll out the updated function on the site despite user requests for it. Facebook is currently testing threaded comments on a select group of profile pages, but users can see it in action on this Thai page.
Interestingly, the threaded comments feature currently doesn't work on the mobile version of the social network quite yet according to ZConnection. Facebook users will simply see a chronologically stream of comments rather than the threaded version that appears on the Web version of the site. It's possible that this could lead to confusion when replying to a comment within the mobile interface.
Detailed by Venturebeat, Facebook is also testing a new sound alerting a user that a notification has arrived. This feature is currently being tested on a select group of profiles and there's no indication from Facebook representatives that the social network will roll out the feature to a wider group. This feature would be ideal for Facebook users that want to be alerted the second that they get a reply to a particular comment, but it could become annoying for someone that receives twenty or more notifications a day.
The good news is that Facebook has included an option to turn off the sound. If the notification sounds have been added to your profile during this testing phase, you can visit Account Settings and click on "Notifications" to manage the feature. Click the "View" link on the tab in order to reveal a checkbox for the sound notification feature. Check out the YouTube video below to hear the notification feature in action.

Made It.
by, 03-31-2008 at 01:11 AM (3308 Views)
Four and a half hours of pouring rain and crazy people driving 75
when you cant see 20 feet in front of you and Im finally here.
I have never been on a toll road before but I was today. The Cherokee
Turnpike cost $2.25. I got in the short line, cash only and no receipt
and had to dig out quarters. Thank goodness I had enough. Also, I
seem to be in The Cherokee Nations, not Oklahoma. The sign when
I left Arkansas said Welcome to the Cherokee Nation, not You Are
Now Entering Oklahoma. I didnt know where the heck I was. LOL
Anyway, the turnpike is awesome, or it would be if it hadnt been
raining buckets. The speed limit is 75 with a min. of 50. Now it the speed
limit was 55 or 60, I wouldnt have had a problem going75 on dry pavement.
But I had a hard time keeping above 50 even when it wasnt raining so
hard. Id be going alone feeling like I was making good time when
Id look at the speedometer and Id be doing 52. I turned into a granny
just by crossing the state line. I got to the hotel, which is very nice, and
couldnt prove who I was. The kid at the front desk accepted my library
card and a couple of paycheck stubs as id. Security. But, the best thing
so far is I have no room mate!!! Yeah. Ive got a very nice suite all to
myself and dont have to worry about noise or snoring (mine or hers)
or what to watch on tv. I can watch anything I want. I can leave the lights
on all night if I want to or turn them all off when I want. I think my luck
may be changing. Still worried about getting stopped though.

"Our house is as quiet as a tomb." So said a friend who's at the same stage of life -- that is, a mother of three with only one child still living at home. Her youngest, unlike mine, is an introvert, but like my Ben, he is exceedingly busy in his last years of high school, thus leaving the house echoing with emptiness.
As a college sophomore, I visited my academic adviser with a problem. "I don't know what I'm going to do after graduation," I confessed. He cocked his head sideways. "Most people don't come to me with this until senior year." I've always liked to get a head start on fretting.
In just eight months, Ben will be leaving for college. It's a milestone for him, but it's also a transformative life event for me. For the first time in 23 years, I won't be organizing my time with children in mind. I won't be thinking about buying (and buying and buying) groceries that include sandwich ingredients for school lunches and the quantities of food teenaged boys consume, or consulting the school calendar to double-check on things Ben must attend to (though, admittedly, he's nearly always on top of things). Nor will I be emailing teachers about this or that. It won't just be a different schedule; it will feel like a different world.
Why did they have to become such engaging and winsome people? It wouldn't be so hard to see them go if they were dullards.
Jonathan, whom many readers have been kind enough to ask about over the years since he suffered a serious head injury at age 10, is now working at a job he loves. He's living semi-independently and has totally mastered the public transportation system. So committed is he to his work that he volunteered to go in on the Friday after Thanksgiving, though he'd been offered the day off. He loves to cook and bake, and we've agreed not to object to any hair color he chooses so long as he does nothing permanent to change his body. (No piercings!) He still takes some things in life hard -- the recent death of his girlfriend's dog was tough -- but he is achieving a reliable equilibrium that is hard-won and gratifying.
David, the child I ferried to lessons and rehearsals so many afternoons, is studying trumpet performance at college. We played our first duet at Thanksgiving (mom on cello). He was tactful in letting me know that my timing was off the first time through. "Let's try it again more slowly." It was profoundly touching when he phoned home in his first year to tell me that our game of "Guess the Composer" -- played dozens of times as we listened to the car radio -- had been good preparation for one of his conservatory listening classes.
He's launched. Our talks are snatched now when he's home for all-too-brief vacations or very occasionally by phone. His bedroom, which we must de-clutter sometime soon, is like a memorial to childhood. Beanie Babies, so beloved a decade or more ago, stand sentry on a top shelf. The books he devoured -- the "Redwall" series by Brian Jacques, Terry Pratchett's works, the "Flashman" series by George MacDonald Fraser -- are faded reminders of a bygone era, alongside more recent additions like discarded trumpet mouthpieces, stacks of dog-eared sheet music and the letters of Giuseppi Verdi.
Ben still lives here, but I already see him in fast-forward. No longer do I listen for his cheerful whistle as he reaches the front door after school. He's busy nearly every day with some club, rehearsal or activity. He's often gone on weekends, too -- traveling with the Model U.N. (He assures me it's far superior to its namesake.)
He was born with a sunny disposition and enhanced it with an insatiable curiosity, warm sympathy and quick wit. It's been such deep pleasure to share with him my enthusiasms, from the trivial to the profound -- and to observe and relish his -- from music to Russian to politics. He loves the world, and the world reciprocates.
Women are so often exhorted these days to seek "empowerment" of one kind or another. Power is fine, I suppose, but is it as deeply satisfying as giving love and support?
I don't need to consult an adviser about what comes next. I'll keep busier with work and spend more time with colleagues after Ben goes off to college. There will even be upsides -- my husband and I can eat mushrooms as often as we like. But the bittersweet truth cannot be denied: Such fine young men as we've raised leave a huge chasm when they depart.

First Lady Michelle Obama is riding in the front passenger seat!
For the first time in about seven and a half years, FLOTUS sits up front for a very special segment of "Carpool Karaoke," which comes as a surprise to host James Corden. "The Late Late Show" released a teaser for the upcoming segment, set to air Wednesday, and in it Corden drives to the White House for a tour. Unbeknownst to the British talk show host, Obama had some free time so she decided to surprise him by getting in the car.
"Hey there! I hear you're here for a 1:45 tour, and I had a little time on my hands, so you wanna go for a spin?" Obama asks to Corden, who stares agape at the first lady.
U.S. & World
Nick Jonas Reveals What's Really Going on While Filming Carpool Karaoke
Obama asks if they can turn on some tunes because she "rarely" gets to listen to music in the car. Corden happily obliges and first turns on "Get Your Freak On" by Missy Elliott. Obama explains how she hasn't really been able to "rock out" in a car since her daughter learned to drive and they got into the car together, so she was happy to be given the opportunity to just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
Before the teaser ends, however, it cuts to Corden and FLOTUS singing Beyonc's "Single Ladies" and even doing her famous hand moves. With so much awesome footage already, we can only imagine what's to come in the full Carpool Karaoke segment!
Previous guests include Demi Lovato, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Hudson, Stevie Wonder and Jason Derulo, so the First Lady will be joining one legendary lineup.

BARCELONA: After more than 30 years into the HIV/AIDS pandemic, a vaccine remains elusive—and much needed. Globally, about 35 million people are living with HIV, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS or UNAIDS. In the United States, about 1.1 million people are HIV positive, and nearly 50,000 people contract the virus each year—with African Americans and Latinos disproportionately affected. Men who have sex with men—especially those of color—have among the highest infection rates across the globe.
A possible "breakthrough" in the decades-long quest for a vaccine that could prevent people from acquiring HIV created the most buzz at the 13th AIDS Vaccine Conference in Barcelona. More on the nuances of the "science" behind the vaccine strategy in my report for POZ, "Possible 'Breakthrough' in Vaccine Research." It's the second article in my international media fellowship to AIDS Vaccine 2013 Barcelona.
AIDS Vaccine 2013 was the first public presentation of the research by Oregon Health and Science University's Louis J. Picker, MD, originally published in the journal Nature. Picker's study demonstrated that vaccinated monkeys can clear simian immunodeficiency virus—SIV, the monkey equivalent of HIV—from their bodies. Picker's research team used an aggressive strain of the simian virus, called SIVmac239 and described as "up to 100 times more deadly than HIV." The vaccine was effective in nine of the 16 monkeys in the study.
Picker's research team fused SIV genes to the cytomegalovirus (CMV), which is from the herpes virus family. The immune system responded to the infection by doing what it normally does—releasing new white blood cells called CD8 "hunter-killer cells" that kill cells infected with SIV. These CD8s are normally primed to target the virus, but in this case, according to The New York Times, they operated in "an atypical state of mid-activation" and persisted in tissue while "eliminating their targets quietly without triggering inflammation or even a mild fever."
This new vaccine strategy could be a "breakthrough" because HIV is "particularly Machiavellian," said Picker. The virus constantly mutates and hides from the body's immune system—which is why vaccine research has so far proved largely ineffective.
Read the full report HERE.
AIDS Vaccine 2013 Barcelona has been described as the "world's leading scientific meeting on HIV vaccine research" and was attended by more than 1,000 leading researchers, funders and policy makers.
AIDS Vaccine 2013 Barcelona and the international media fellowship were sponsored the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise—the international consortium that has pooled resources to "speed the development of a safe and effective HIV vaccine." The Enterprise includes the USA, Thailand and South African governments, the European Union, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNAIDS, World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention, GlaxoSmithKline, the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, Merck, Novartis, USAID, Sanofi Pasteur, the largest company in the world devoted to vaccine development.
I'm also reporting for Der Spiegel and EBONY.

ENERGY STAR® qualified natural gas storage models will save your family money. On average, a gas storage model will save you about $30 or more annually when compared with standard gas models and over $200 per year versus an electric model. Choose a high-efficiency natural gas storage model instead of an electric model and your family can save more than $2,000 over the life of the water heater. That's money in your pocket.
Are you thinking of building or purchasing a new home? For new construction projects, a natural gas water heater will cost more than an electric water heater when installed, but will save the average family $16 or more in operating costs each month. Your net savings for a high-efficiency water heater added up month after month will result in savings of more than $2,000 over the life of the water heater. That's money in your pocket.
With a natural gas water heater in your home, you can forget about having to take cold showers and waiting between baths. Natural gas water heaters recover at about 40-50 gallons per hour and are sized to recover in about one hour, from being completely drained to ready to go. ENERGY STAR® qualified water heaters perform comparably to standard gas water heaters and are equipped to work anytime.
With the recovery rate of an electric water heater, your family will have to wait 2-3 hours or more in order to have adequate hot water supplies. The storage capacity of an electric model would have to be doubled to match the output of a natural gas water heater.
Not only will the energy savings pay for the higher price of a high-efficiency ENERGY STAR® qualified natural gas water heater, but the investment will help improve our environment too. If everyone in America chose a high-efficiency natural gas water heater instead of a standard gas model, we could prevent 1 billion pounds of CO2 from polluting the atmosphere, the equivalent of planting 132,000 acres of forest.
If everyone in America chose an ENERGY STAR natural gas water heater instead of an electric model, we could prevent 6 billion pounds of CO2 from polluting the atmosphere, the equivalent of planting 792,000 acres of forest. Just one high-efficiency water heater will save over 9,000 pounds of CO2 from polluting our air every year – over 90,000 pounds saved over the life of the equipment, compared to an electric water heater powered by a coal plant. When you choose a natural gas water heater, you are choosing the most efficient and clean-burning fuel to heat your water. Natural gas burns cleaner than electricity, releasing:
Significantly less carbon dioxide (a major greenhouse gas)
Almost no sulfur dioxide (a key cause of acid rain and haze)
Less than one-third the amount of nitrogen oxides (the primary cause of smog)
Zero mercury emissions (a common cause of contamination in fish)

Following copyright law leads you to unusual stories. That much is true. The story that broke through into the popular press last week (example: BBC), though, is quite iffy even by those standards. Yes, I'm talking about the (leaked) proposal in the UK to provide that those engaged in illegal filesharing would be 'banned from the Internet' (have their Net access contracts terminated); the Open Rights Group (one of the best NGOs on these issues in the world) have been talking about this for some time.
Now, there are certain rhetorical links here within criminal law (noting of course, though the music industry usually forgets this, that the bulk of copyright law is civil not criminal). A sanction for drink-driving can be a driving ban, et cetera. This, though, seems a different kettle of phish. There's a direct link between the drink-driving (the core activity being driving) and the ban from driving (the core activity still being driving). And of course, the non-driver can take the bus or walk or cycle on the same road. On the other hand, the offence of copyright infringement (core activity being illegal copying or similar) does not have the same relationship to an Internet ban (the core activity being Internet use which includes many things). It's bizarre, although in the context of banning students from chemistry because it might lead to bombs, I can see where it's coming from.
The present-day Internet includes communication (email), socialising (IM, social networking etc), media consumption (websites, blog, streaming, etc), media creation (ditto), access to Government services, online commerce, etc. Now imagine that the sanction for a, let's face it, relatively minor crime (copyright infringement, while economically significant, is hardly manslaughter), includes no use of the postal services, highly limited access to shops, no permission to read a newspaper, reduced ability to use public services or get public information, and more. That's no minor sanction. Indeed, most prisoners can get things like reading material and send and receive letters! Not to mention that a Net disconnection has an impact on family members and others.
Of course, there are precedents for kicking people 'off the Internet' (Kevin Mitnick) and there are even those sane judges that have a sensible idea of online communications, in particular that looking at websites about violent jihad doesn't make you a terrorist.
The enforcers here are your friendly local ISP (yes, those neutral non-state actors). They'll be required to follow this system or face their own penalties. Something similar is on the agenda in France. Andres predicts that the ISPs will come out swinging. I hope so.
More fundamentally, this should see a rights-based analysis. For example, the ECJ's decision in the Promusicae case (discussed here) shows how the rights of copyright holders are not the only things on the cards, and that privacy rights are important. In this situation, rights of expression, communication, participation and so on (all protected in the EU's charter of fundamental rights and many other documents), are potentially being compromised. Is it proportionate to find that an internet service provider (required to act by statute) can take an action that has such wide-reaching consequences on such a basket of fundamental rights simply to vindicate the rights of the music industry? Is this a fair and proportionate 'punishment'? I don't accept that it is, and certainly not in the broad-brush terms that the UK proposal seems to put it.
Anyway, apparently this will be in a paper called The World's
Daftest Laws Creative Hub that's coming out this week. Watch this space.

-Scott Free Television Joins Forces with Independent Studio Entertainment One (eOne) to Produce Original Mini-Series Chronicling the Yukon Gold Rush Era-
(LOS ANGELES) - Discovery Channel announces today its order to production of the network's first-ever, scripted mini-series titled KLONDIKE (wt). The mini-series, based on Charlotte Gray's novel Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike, brings to life the tale about six strangers and their collective fight for survival and wealth in a small, frontier town in the remote Klondike. KLONDIKE is a co-production between Discovery, Entertainment One Television (eOne) and Nomadic Pictures in association with Scott Free Television. Paul Scheuring ("Prison Break," "A Man Apart") is the primary writer and will serve as Executive Producer, along with Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker; as well as John Morayniss and Michael Rosenberg for eOne; Mike Frislev and Chad Oakes will serve as co-producers for Nomadic. Josh Goldin & Rachel Abramowitz are also writing episodes as Consulting Producers. Eileen O'Neill and Dolores Gavin will serve as Executive Producers for Discovery.
"We've been developing scripted for some time, but wanted to find the perfect fit. When we read Gold Diggers, we knew we finally found it," said Eileen O'Neill, Group President of Discovery and TLC Networks, "Discovery created and owns the 'gold' narrative with several of our hit series and we're elated to partner with Scott Free Television and eOne Television on a subject we know so well as our first, scripted project."
"KLONDIKE was the last great gold rush; one which triggered a flood of prospectors ill-equipped, emotionally or otherwise, for the extreme and grueling conditions of the remote Yukon wilderness," said Ridley Scott, " The personal adventures are as epic as the landscape, where ambition, greed, sex and murder, as well as their extraordinary efforts to literally strike it rich, are all chronicled by a young Jack London himself."
"eOne is delighted to be working with Discovery as they make their foray into scripted television as well as join forces for the first time ever with Scott Free and continue our relationship with Nomadic Pictures," said John Morayniss, CEO, eOne Television. "We're looking forward to sharing this innovative adaptation of a well-known era, and sharing this epic mini-series with audiences around the world."
KLONDIKE follows the lives of two childhood best friends, Bill and Epstein, in the late 1890s as they undertake the next, gold rush capital in the untamed Yukon Territory. This man-versus-nature tale places our heroes in a land full of undiscovered wealth, but ravaged by harsh conditions, unpredictable weather and desperate, dangerous characters including greedy businessmen, seductive courtesans and native tribes witnessing the destruction of their people and land by opportunistic entrepreneurs.
Production begins in March 2013 on location in Alberta, Canada. The series will be produced with assistance of the Government of Alberta, Alberta Film Development Program. International distribution will be handled by eOne Television.

Top tips to consider when purchasing hardware-based encryption
Encryption appliances sit inline on a network and use specially designed electronics to encrypt data at line speeds, essentially eliminating the performance penalty imposed by encryption software running on a general server. While software-based encryption is typically handled as a specific event or process (e.g., encrypting data during a backup process), appliance-based encryption normally can handle any quantity of data in flight.
Encryption appliances are also expensive devices, and implementing multiple appliances within the same organization can be cost prohibitive. In addition, key management is an important concern. Since keys are stored in the appliance itself, storage and network professionals must understand how to access encrypted data if the appliance fails. Encryption appliances should be carefully tested in a lab environment before making any purchase decision. Now that you've reviewed the essential issues involved in any encryption approach, this segment focuses on specific considerations for hardware-based encryption products. You'll also find a series of specifications to help you compare products from vendors, such as Crossroads Systems Inc., CipherMax Inc., NeoScale Systems Inc., Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp) and Vormetric Inc.
Consider the integration process and potential disruptions. The integration of new technologies is rarely a painless process, and disruptions are likely to occur in the production environment. Testing and evaluation are important to establish exactly how much disruption should be expected. Careful planners can determine any setup or operational configurations that will speed the actual installation, and adequate time can be set aside during evening or weekend hours to accommodate the deployment.
Evaluate the management and maintenance overhead. Encryption appliances require little ongoing maintenance or management once they're properly configured. However, administrators should have a clear understanding of any logging or reporting features in the product. Check for routine management tasks that can be automated with command-line interface (CLI) scripts. The appliance's management interface should require multiple login credentials for access, particularly for sensitive configuration tasks.
Evaluate the appliance's internal security. A standalone encryption appliance must include provisions to prevent tampering and ensure that any configuration settings remain unchanged, unless proper credentials are provided by an administrator. Appliances, like Decru's DataFort, use smart cards to secure the appliance. Host authentication techniques can also be employed to secure the appliance in a SAN fabric. Remember that appliance security will result in new policies, and practices will add management overhead to existing data center and network administration.
Consider how the key is stored and used. Another aspect of security is key management. In some cases, a single key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data, or a unique key is used for each process. In other cases, a series of keys can be deployed, allowing decryption with a majority of key holders. If an appliance stores the key(s), there must be an adequate provision to recover data if the appliance fails. Keys must also be kept secure if they are stored off of the appliance. Consider how the key management system adds security to the organization, but also evaluate the level of complexity, cost and the effect that any future hardware changes or disasters might have on the key management process.
Test key destruction features. One of the easiest ways to destroy encrypted data is to destroy the key used to encrypt data in the first place. If the key is gone, the data is unrecoverable, and any storage used to hold that encrypted data can be cleared without concern about recovery later on. Understand the protocol needed to erase keys, verify that key deletion is unrecoverable, and look for any workarounds or "back doors" that might compromise key security.
Know the vendor. Many encryption appliance vendors are relatively new, so the vendor's longevity in the market should be considered. When evaluating an encryption appliance, be sure to also investigate the vendor's history, business goals and product roadmap. If a vendor is looking to be acquired and cannot offer a clear product roadmap, that vendor should be avoided. The hardware-based encryption product specifications page in this chapter covers the following products:

NEW LONDON, Conn.-Third baseman Cherokee Strickland launched her team-best fourth home run of the season to lead Coast Guard to a 7-run fourth in the nightcap as the Bears split a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference double-header with Smith College of Saturday afternoon at Nitchman Field.
Smith won game one by a final margin of 2-0, eliminating Coast Guard from post-season contention by doing so. Coast Guard is now 14-18 (7-11 NEWMAC) on the year, while Smith is now 15-11 (8-10 NEWMAC).
Smith's victory in the opener secures qualification into the 2014 NEWMAC Tournament for the Pioneers for the first time since the 2008 season. The victory in game one marked the first time that Smith has beaten Coast Guard since an 11-2, five inning triumph on April 19, 2008, snapping a string of 11 straight wins by the Bears in the series.
Game One: Smith 2, Coast Guard 0
Smith pushed across the game's first run in the bottom of the fifth inning and that would be all they would need as the Pioneers rode a two-hitter from sophomore Gina Martucci to a 2-0 game one victory over Coast Guard.
The Pioneers threatened all game, leaving 11 runners on base, but it took until the fifth inning to break through against Coast Guard starter Kristine Kahl. First baseman Tori Brown reached on a throwing error on a sac bunt with nobody out to put runners on the corners for the Pioneers. After a fielder's choice saw shortstop Morgan Kingston gun down second baseman Brittney Blokker (2-4, RBI) at the plate, runners were left on first and second for Smith. Two batters later, with the bases loaded, Martucci (3-3, RBI) helped her own cause with an RBI-single to left to plate the game's first run.
Smith would add an insurance run in the sixth. Left fielder Joanna Giordano (1-3, run) led off the inning with a bunt single to third and advanced to second on a sac bunt by catcher Ruth Zimmerman (0-3). She would come in to score two pitches later when Blokker laced a double over the head of Kelsey Gray in right to chase home Giordano for a 2-0 lead.
Martucci took a no-hitter into the bottom of the seventh but third baseman Cherokee Strickland greeted her with a single to left to start the inning and ruin her bid for a no-no. Things got real interesting when center fielder Kaitlin Ward followed Strickland with a double to the wall in right center to set up runners on second and third with nobody out. Smith then surprised everyone by moving the infield in to try to cut off the run at the plate. Martucci would recover after the back-to-back hits and induce groundouts by left fielder Erin Reynolds (0-2) and DP Hannah Ingerson (0-3) before getting Gray (0-3) on a called third strike to end the game.
Martucci took the win for the Pioneers to improve to 13-4 on the season. She went the distance, allowing just two hits without issuing a walk, striking out five in the victory. Kahl (8-8) was the tough-luck loser for the Bears despite pitching well. She allowed two runs, just one earned, on 10 hits and two walks.
Game Two: Coast Guard 8, Smith 0 (5 innings)
Sophomore Sarah Sorensen made sure an offensive explosion by Coast Guard would stand up as she tallied a four-hit shutout, her second in as many games, as the Bears earned a split with an 8-0 five-inning victory over Smith.
Coast Guard opened the scoring in the top of the first, thrilled to see a new pitcher following the dominance of Martucci in game one. Morgan Kingston (2-3, 2 runs) led off the game with a single off the third base bag, advanced to second on a sac bunt by second baseman Erin Lisko (1-2, RBI, run), and scored on the first of catcher Jessie Richardson's (3-3, 3 RBI, run) two doubles in the ballgame.
The score would remain tight until the fourth when the Bears would create some breathing room. Richardson led off the inning with a single through the right side before Cherokee Strickland (1-3, 2 RBI, run) hit a towering two-run homer over the left field fence to make it 3-0 Bears. A pair each of errors and hits would give Coast Guard a 5-0 lead with runners on first and third for Lisko who singled off the first base bag to chase home another run for a 6-0 Coast Guard edge. Richardson would follow it up with her second double of the day, this one a wicked ground ball that found its way to the right-center field fence, making it 8-0 in favor of Coast Guard.
Sorensen (6-10) went the distance for the Bears, limiting Smith to just four hits on the afternoon to extend her scoreless streak to 13.1 innings, dating back to April 14th. She would allow just one walk and recorded a pair of strikeouts in the ballgame. Tori Brown (0-2) took the loss for Smith, yielding eight runs (three earned) on nine hits over four innings.
Joanna Giordano was 2-for-2 with a double in the game, the lone Pioneer to record multiple hits. Tori Brown and catcher Edie Richardson also registered hits for Smith.
The double-header marked the final home games in the careers of seniors Kaitlin Ward and Kelly Grills.
Coast Guard will wrap up their season on Wednesday, April 23rd when they travel to Willimantic, Conn. to take on the Warriors of Eastern Connecticut in a double-header slated to begin at 5:00 pm.
