Congratulations, you won a million dollars
A reader of this column -- I'll call her Eva -- contacted me about a letter she received in the mail congratulating her on winning $1 million. When she called the phone number listed in the letter as directed, she was told that all she had to do to claim the prize was to mail in a cashier's check or money order for $2,000 as a processing fee. She did, but the $1 million has yet to arrive.
This type of fraudulent scheme is not unknown to law enforcement.
Each year, thousands of people complain to the Federal Trade Commission about fraudulent contests and sweepstakes. The FTC warns that legitimate contests don't have winners pay a fee to process the winnings.
But here is a twist to the story.
Two years later, Eva was still receiving letters notifying her of more winnings. She still believed that she was due the announced prize money, which she was eager to receive in order to help her family.
Then Eva received a phone call from a person whom I'll call Ed, who said he was with the FBI. He advised Eva that the authorities were pursuing criminals who were perpetrating fraudulent prize schemes on unsuspecting retirees.
Eva was shattered.
She sat down at her kitchen table and collected all of the prize notifications she received as well as receipts for all the money she mailed in to claim the prizes -- more than $100,000 in all -- with no winnings to compensate.
Ed went into action. He advised Eva to change her phone number and to resist the urge to send in any more money in the hopes of winning prize money.
He offered to help her extricate herself from potential harm by notifying credit bureaus and the authorities. He and a team of agents would take care of everything for $50,000.
Now Eva was alarmed. Who was Ed?
There are laws to protect people from fraudulent promotions. The Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act prohibits companies from claiming that you're a winner unless you've actually won a prize. And there are laws prohibiting the impersonation of an FBI agent, according to FBI spokeswoman Jenny Shearer.
Government agencies -- including the FBI -- never send emails or call people to threaten arrest, ask for money or request personal information, explained Jaclyn M. Falkowski, director of communications for the Office of the Attorney General of Connecticut.
One piece of advice is to realize that if you have to pay to receive your "prize," it's not a prize at all. Also, the FTC says to be aware that scammers use a "variation of an official or nationally recognized name to give you confidence in their offers. Don't be deceived by these 'look-alikes.' It's illegal for a promoter to misrepresent an affiliation with -- or an endorsement by -- a government agency or other well-known organization." And be alert to any toll-free 800 number that directs you to dial a pay-per-call 900 number, which can run up very high charges.
One more point: Don't give your checking-account or credit-card-account number over the phone in response to a sweepstakes promotion. It's a sure-fire way to get scammed in the future, warns the FTC.
If you are scammed like Eva, what do you do?
Act immediately, said Falkowski. Place a fraud alert or credit freeze on your credit report, contact any financial institutions for which you provided information and be "extra wary" of all future solicitations, as scammers will sometimes share personal information from their victims with other scammers. (Go to www.consumer.ftc.gov for information on how to do this.)
Report the fraud to your local police department, and file a complaint with the FTC (www.ftc.gov), the IC3 (for Internet scams: www.ic3.gov) and your state's Office of the Attorney General, explained Falkowski. You'll find a list of state attorneys general through the National Association of Attorneys General at http://tinyurl.com/6vegzgd.
Before you react to a call, letter or email congratulating you on winning a prize, do yourself a favor by reading the FTC's information-packed "Prize Offers" release at http://tinyurl.com/kxho8fo. If you don't have Internet access, reach out to me. I'll send you a copy.

Eritrea: Risk Assessment
Country Risk Rating
Business Climate Rating
- Extensive mineral resources (potash, copper, gold, silver, zinc)
- Strategic position on the Red Sea
- Large public and external deficits
- A critical level of debt
- The country has become an international pariah state
- Worrying human rights record
- Very difficult business climate
Current Trends
The Mining Sector is the Only Island of Activity
Growth will likely remain relatively subdued in 2018. Weak public resources are expected to continue to mainly benefit the army and will, therefore, provide only negligible support for growth. Flows of foreign investments, limited by a very degraded business climate, are unlikely to offset the public investment deficit. Mineral resources (copper, zinc, gold, silver, potash) are the only attraction for foreign, particularly Chinese, investment. The mining sector is thus almost the only driver of growth. Operations at the Koka (gold) mine since 2015 and the start of production at the Asmara mine (copper, zinc, gold) should help reduce dependency on the Bisha mine (copper, zinc, gold), which accounts for 40% of state revenues. This is especially necessary with the recovery rate of zinc and copper, with the latter expected to decline from 2018 until a scheduled cease in production in 2021. The Colluli Potash Project could, in future, take over from the Bisha mine, but it looks unlikely that production will start in 2018.
Private consumption is set to remain anemic in a country that is among the poorest countries in the world. Despite substantial inflows of remittances from expatriate workers, household income – deriving mainly from rudimentary agriculture (the sector employs almost 80% of the workforce) – is low. This income is further eaten up by inflation, which is expected to fall only slightly. Insufficient agricultural output to meet the needs of the population puts pressure on food prices. Inflation, exacerbated by a shortage of foreign exchange, which impedes imports, is broadly responsible for the overvaluation of the nafka, pegged to the US dollar. This is reflected in a growing gap between the official exchange rate and the rate used on the parallel market.
Twin Deficits Increase the Debt Burden
The military budget, estimated at 25% of public expenditure, continues to burden the fiscal balance. The growth in mining income could help to slightly narrow this substantial deficit, but revenue mobilization remains broadly inadequate. Financing the deficit by creating money is fueling inflation. Money creation is also, at least in part, the reason for the buildup of domestic debt, thus putting the public debt at a worrying level. Highly strained relations with donors prevent Eritrea from benefiting from debt relief under the HIPC initiative.
The external accounts are expected to continue to develop in line with exports of mineral resources. With base metal prices expected to stabilize, led by those for copper and zinc, export revenues should hold up. The import bill is set to fall in connection with the drop in demand for capital goods needed for the development of mining projects.
Isaias Afwerki's Regime Still Ostracized by the International Community
Since 1993, power has been concentrated in the hands of President Isaias Afwerki, supported by his People's Front for Democracy and Justice Party - the only legally authorized party. Reports from the country suggest that most freedoms are suppressed and human rights violations are legion. Eritrean citizens are fleeing forced labor and also indefinite periods of military service introduced since the war against Ethiopia (1998-2000). Officials from the High Commission for Refugees thus make up almost 10% of the total population.
As a result, relations with the international community are particularly tense. In particular, Eritrea is, accused of supporting armed groups, such as Al Shabaab in Somalia, and rebel movements on the border with Ethiopia. Still benefiting from some aid from the European Union and strong relations with China, the country is not yet completely isolated. The regime's collaboration with Pyongyang could, however, justify tougher UN sanctions.
Although the country is no longer in last place in the 2017 Doing Business rankings, this is only because Somalia now occupies that position. The business climate thus remains an impediment to economic development.

January 1996 - Newsletter 51
It's always the same. Every year at the start of the 3rd week in January I sit down at the typwriter and play this game called 'Stir the grey matter' or, to give it it's other title 'Bang Both Brain Cells Together'. I stare at the keys for a while the I have to lie down for 20 minutes because of the strain. Then back to the desk (with a bit of luck the phone will ring and delay thins a little). After that I try to focus the eyeballs once more. Must be time for coffee, that should do the trick. Make it strong, a double dose of caffeine should make me twitch a bit. Wait for a while for it to take effect. Then, Bingo I pound into action and type those immortal words THE YETTIS NEUSLITTER NO 45 51.
I hope you all enjoyed 'Throw Another Log On The Fire' Radio 2, Christmas Eve. I must say it was a great pleasure working with Isla St. Clair who, apart from her bubbly personality, is very professional and has a lovely voice. I though, all things considered, that the recording went remarkably well but as I staggered of the stage brain dead and boggle eyed out mate Nick Sampford said, 'That was the funniest show I've ever seen you do'. One of these days I would love to be a fly on the wall just to see what actually happens. All we get to hear is the final edited version, on the night it's all a bit of a blur.
Many thanks to those who turned out to clap, holler and sing on what was a nasty night weather wise. Apologies to those who tried to get tickets but couldn't get in. In fact we could have filled Bridport Arts Centre three times over.

A majority of California voters now support same-sex marriages according to a Field Poll released Wednesday.
The results show six out of every 10 voters in California now support allowing same-sex couples to marry, a significant increase since the state voted to ban same-sex marriage a little more than two years ago.
The Field Poll published Wednesday found that of the 515 registered voters surveyed, 59 percent said they favored extending regular marriage rights to same-sex couples.
When the state's gay marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, passed in November 2008, the figure stood at 49 percent.
According to the poll, support for legalizing same-sex marriages extends across many demographic groups and to every region of the state.
Republicans, voters who described themselves as politically conservative or Protestant, and those ages 65 and over were the only segments that did not have at least half of the respondents backing gay marriage.

While most famous kids want ponies, iPads and self-indulgent parties, Brooklyn wants to give his pocket money to the homeless.
The eldest son of Victoria, 38, and David, 37, has been saving up his weekly allowance to give to charity for Thanksgiving in America next week.
It seems 13-year-old Brooklyn is maturing into a fine young man.
An insider in the Beckham camp told us: "Brooklyn told his mum and dad that he didn't want to receive presents for Thanksgiving this year.
"He said instead he'd like to donate them to people who need them more.
"Brooklyn asked one of the family bodyguards to take him to a Rite Aid store in Los Angeles so he could buy some first-aid kits to put in the charity parcels.
"He even persuaded his brothers Romeo and Cruz to give up their presents and pocket money for the homeless this year. The lads are planning to give big, fun packages to the local shelter."
Meanwhile dad Becks has been scoffing baps at a basketball game in Hollywood.
He periodically did everything in his powers to not gawp at hot cheerleaders.
The football ace treated himself to a pork bap, a bag of crisps and a Coke halfway through the LA Lakers match.
He then dented his own ego by looking like a dwarf chatting to all the 7ft players.
We've never seen Becks look so sheepish.

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa - St. Norbert College made its first trip to Cornell College in 20 years a victorious one with a 20-16 triumph in a Midwest Conference game at Ash Park.
The Green Knights (4-2, 4-1 MWC) played the Rams (2-3, 2-2) in Iowa for the first time since 1992 and met for the first time overall since 1993 since Cornell returned to the MWC this year.
St. Norbert survived a last-ditch fourth-quarter rally by the Rams, who trailed the Green Knights 20-7 entering the fourth quarter. Cornell cut the deficit to 20-14 with 11 minutes 30 seconds left on a 39-yard touchdown pass from Juan Flores to Ben Knake on a fourth-and-six play.
The Rams forced a St. Norbert punt and then had a first down at the Green Knights' 15-yard line, but on second-and-nine from the 14 Flores was intercepted at the 1 by Austin Arts with 3:21 to go. St. Norbert could only move out to its own 4, and wisely took a safety with 2:06 left to make it 20-16.
Cornell couldn't get a first down on its series, but got the ball back with 27 seconds left after the Rams exhausted their time outs. Cornell drove to the St. Norbert 34 with 10 seconds left, but a pair of Flores passes to the end zone were incomplete.
St. Norbert opened the game with a 17-play, 48-yard drive that melted 8:58 off the clock, and took a 3-0 lead on a 41-yard Randy Hill field goal. The Green Knights boosted their lead to 10-0 on a 23-yard Austin Williams run with 2:20 left in the second quarter, but the Rams answered with a 70-yard touchdown pass from Flores to Justin Cox two plays later.
The Green Knights scored on their first two possessions of the second half to take a 20-7 advantage. Hill nailed a 34-yard field goal with 6:27 left in the third quarter, and James Tringali found Joe Green on a slant for a 7-yard touchdown with 53 seconds left in the period.
Tringali completed 19 of 29 passes for 195 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Williams rushed 21 times for 72 yards, while Green caught six passes for 43 yards.
Cornell, which outgained St. Norbert 359-319, got 324 yards from Flores, who completed 23 of 41 passes with two touchdowns but had three interceptions. Ra'Shad Green caught 10 passes for 116 yards, while Cox had five catches for 107 yards for the Rams.

Reg review of 2011: Jobs, floaters and 90,000 tons of radioactive water
Cue commentards going nuclear ...
Saved by circumstance
Microsoft had different ideas, so Windows 2.0 in 1987 was designed to work with Intel's 286 processor. Two years later Intel released the 486, described by Business Week as a "veritable mainframe on a chip" while the 1990s became the era of Intel's Pentium chip. Intel's liberated Microsoft from IBM and gave Microsoft's software the power and responsiveness to succeed in the PC revolution of the 1980s and 1990s.
While the pair are today behind most of the 346 million PCs sold each year globally their efforts are dwarfed by what's been happening in mobile computing. Smartphones have been selling in the billions-of-units range for years and are expected to hit a record 1.55 billion in 2011. Apple – which accounted for around 75 per cent of tablet sales last year – is expected to move 20 million iPads this quarter.
Some are saying the era of the era of the laptop is now over. Maybe, but one thing that certainly did come to an end in 2011 was the Wintel alliance.
Would Leo Apotheker please turn the lights out on his way out of HP?
2011 was remarkable for Hewlett-Packard, the world's number-one maker of PCs, because it slammed the door shut on the madness that started in 2010.
In April 2010, former CEO Mark Hurd bought Palm, the widely liked but strategically mishandled maker of devices and the webOS operating system, for an eye-popping $1.2bn. In September the same year, Hurd was gone for other reasons and HP in November dipped hired a CEO who never stopped telling everybody he was a "software guy" so knew the biz. He was the ex-SAP CEO, Leo Apotheker.
HP's Mr Software, Leo Apotheker, was gone in a year
Fresh into the job in March, Apotheker made his mark: in 2012 every HP PC shipping with Microsoft's Windows will also ship with the Linux-based webOS as well, he said. "You create a massive platform," Apotheker predicted.
Ten months after Apotheker became CEO he was out, replaced by ex-eBay CEO and one-time California Republican-party gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. WebOS was also gone, putting an end to HP's webOS tablet and any plans for webOS also on PCs running Windows as their primary operating system.
The end of both webOS and Apotheker looked like the end of a bet by HP board that "software" could lift their company above the funk infecting the PC market and mindset.
And what a funk: PC shipments in 2011 are expected to grow just 4.2 per cent this year compared to 13 per cent in 2010 according to IDC, which had predicted 7.1 per cent in February.
The only question is whether the funk is caused by the rotten economy and the end of consumer interest in the netbook or whether there is a tectonic shift in motion, such as a permanent move to smartphones and tablets.
Certainly, 2011 saw HP attempt to ride the mobile wave, with the TouchPad. The company was proud: possibly too proud.
"In the tablet world we're going to become better than number one. We call it number one plus," said HP's EMEA personal systems group said in May. The TouchPad launched in July but it was clear from the start that this was no iPad: 12,000 sold in the first month of availability compared to one million for the iPad a year earlier. By the end of August, retail giant BestBuy had shifted less than one-tenth of its 270,000 inventory. Cruelly, HP's decision to kill the TouchPad in August boosted sales.
HP wasn't unique in its suffering. Dell, Samsung, Motorola and Research in Motion all confidently took to the field against the iPad and all cut prices. In the largest act of PC-related carnage since Windows Vista, OEMs have lost billions in channel discounting, development, manufacturing and marketing.
"HP wasn't unique in its suffering. Dell, Samsung, Motorola and Research in Motion all confidently took to the field against the iPad and all cut prices."
Unlike its peers, however, HP went further than corrective surgery in a struggling product group: a month before he went, Apotheker announced a major operation. He confidently told Bloomberg that HP was weighing the sale of its PC group. This was no IBM spinning off PCs to the Chinese and transitioning to servers, services and software, this was the removal of a healthy organ critical to HP's business. PCs had showed year-on-year as well as sequential quarterly growth for operating margins in August.
The filler for PCs? Software: HP bought a search software company called Autonomy, a UK technology success less well known in the US, for $11bn.
However, time ran out for Apotheker in September and Whitman became the new chief. According to a statement with non-executive chairman Ray Lane's name on it, the HP board was "fully focused on doing what's right for HP and the future of this iconic company... The decision to change the leadership of HP is one the board took very seriously."

Economic Environment(0 = best, 30 = worst)
The constitution provides for freedom of speech and of the press, and the government largely respected these rights in 2011, with some exceptions. Despite enacting West Africa's first Freedom of Information law in 2010, Liberia saw increased attacks against journalists in 2011, both in the form of physical violence, as well as the use of libel charges by politicians to silence journalists. Violence and intimidation of journalists markedly increased around the presidential elections in the fall of 2011 as tensions rose between incumbent President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf's United Party (UP) and the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC).
Libel is still a criminal offense in Liberia, and several libel charges were threatened and leveled against media houses and freedom of expression activists in 2011. Fines sought and imposed in civil cases are often astronomical, leading to severe financial difficulties for journalists and their outlets, and encouraging self-censorship in the media. Corruption and bribery in the judicial sector also lead to a largely unfavorable environment for journalists. In February, the former agriculture minister filed a $2 million defamation suit against the newspaper FrontPage Africa over articles linking him to a rubber industry corruption scandal. A jury unanimously passed down a guilty charge, and fined the paper $1.5 million in damages. In November, the minister demanded payment of the damages, and at year's end, the newspaper risked closure. In other cases, in March the mayor of Monrovia threatened to file a lawsuit against the Center for Media Studies and Peace Building (CEMESP) after it alleged in a report that she had ordered her bodyguards to arrest and jail Love FM reporter Nimpson Todd. In November, a former chairman of the opposition Liberty Party filed a $10 million libel suit against the Liberian Journal for publishing a story accusing him of attempting to flee the country after being indicted for embezzling funds from LoneStar Cell MTN.
According to CEMESP, Liberia is an "unregulated multi-media society" with very few legal provisions to help facilitate media policy. There are some regulatory bodies in place; however, they have failed to effectively enforce media policies due to the lack of legal and economic protections for journalists and media institutions. A 2008 Independent Broadcast Regulator draft bill, which would establish an independent regulatory body free from government intervention, is still waiting to be passed by the Senate. Additionally, a draft law seeking to convert the state broadcaster into a public service broadcaster was still pending at the end of 2011.
Although Liberia's media environment is not heavily polarized, media outlets did openly exhibit political loyalties—between the incumbent UP and the opposition CDC—in the period surrounding the November 2011 presidential election. Many media outlets were criticized for "yellow journalism," politically biased reporting, and lack of accountability. Media houses on both sides of the political spectrum reported being victims of violence and intimidation prior to and during the elections. In September, Johnson-Sirleaf suspended and replaced Liberian Broadcasting System (LBS) Director General Ambrose Nmah, allegedly due to the broadcast of a press conference in which the leader of a main opposition party was critical of the president. Two opposition stations, Love FM and Love TV, were targets of arson attacks in October. In November, four radio stations and three television stations were found guilty of propagating hate messages before the presidential election. While the order to close the stations was quickly rescinded, the argument presented in the case—that the government had the authority to shut down media outlets based on their news content—has the potential to set a negative precedent for censorship in the media.
Reporters also face difficulty in covering the news, and there were several attacks on journalists in 2011. A reporter for Truth FM was attacked in April by a mob loyal to a local political candidate after he inquired about an alleged personal scandal involving the candidate. In May, two journalists were forcibly removed and their equipment confiscated after taking pictures of lawmakers in the Capitol building. After having initially authorized their removal, the Speaker of the House later issued a written apology to the journalists. In September, four reporters with Renaissance Communication Incorporated were attacked by members of the Liberty Party for attempting to report on the former party chairman's release from prison.
The media sector includes both state-owned and private outlets. Although about a dozen newspapers publish with a varying degree of regularity, of which the government-owned New Liberian is one, distribution is limited largely to the capital. Low literacy rates and the high price of newspapers and transportation made radio the most important source of information for most Liberians. There were 15 independent radio stations in Monrovia and 24 community radio stations outside the capital, as well as three television stations. There were no cases in 2011 of the government or other parties attempting to influence editorial content through the withholding of advertising. However, reporters commonly accept payment from individuals covered in their stories, and the placement of a story in a paper or radio show can often be bought and influenced by outside interests. Most media outlets are not self-sustaining and rely heavily on financial support from politicians or international donors. According to the Liberia Media Center, most newspapers are owned and operated by journalists, who are rarely trained in business management. Journalism training is also limited, with CEMESP providing one of the only venues for training in journalism ethics. Both the Press Union of Liberia and the CEMESP offer assistance to journalists. In 2011, the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism teamed up with the UN Development Programme to offer a short-term training program for rural female journalists.
In 2011, 3 percent of Liberians accessed the internet. There are no restrictions on the use of the internet and there were no instances of government monitoring e-mail activity or internet chat rooms.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Caitlin Rea scored a goal and assisted fellow freshman Noel Painter on two others—including the overtime game-winner—as the Harvard field hockey team came from behind to top Colgate, 3-2, Sunday afternoon at Jordan Field.
The winning goal came on the first shot of overtime, just 76 seconds into the extra session. After Colgate (6-10) was whistled for a yellow card, the Crimson (8-6) restarted play near midfield, and Rea dribbled the ball up the right side, nearly all the way to the goal line. She then passed across to Painter in front for a one-time shot.
Cynthia Tassopoulos and Colgate counterpart Amanda DiDomizio made nine saves each. Harvard outshot Colgate, 25-14, and earned a 14-9 advantage in penalty corners. The Crimson improved to 3-0 against Patriot League teams, 3-0 in overtime and 6-2 at home this season.
Rea's first collegiate goal got Harvard on the board 16 minutes into the game, beating DiDomizio with a shot from the middle of the circle after dribbling in from the midfield. The Crimson managed 11 first-half shots to Colgate's four and held a 5-2 edge in corners in the period but could not add to its lead.
The Raiders equalized quickly after halftime, with Lauren Dittman scoring off a penalty corner less than three minutes into the second half. They later added another goal following another corner. Tassopoulos stopped the initial shot by Dittman and dove to her left to make an outstanding save on Anna Reddicliffe, but Halle Biggar put in the second rebound.
It took the Crimson a mere 44 seconds to respond. Katelyn Wahl brought the ball into the right side of the circle and put a shot on goal. The ball was kicked away to Rea, who sent it down low to Painter for the finish.
Both teams got chances before the end of regulation. The last came on a penalty corner for Colgate in the final seconds, but the Crimson did not allow the Raiders to get off a shot. Harvard held advantages of 9-6 in penalty corners and 13-10 in shots in the second half.

Advent Calendar Tutorial
Since today is December 1st, I thought I would share something special to start the month off.
Growing up I have such fond memories of going to my grandparents & opening up each day of their advent calendar. The excitement of what was under each number is still so fresh in my mind. I wanted to give my children the same opportunity that I had growing up.
I saw a super cute idea on Pinterest, so I thought I would tweak it for my own.
Here is what I came up with..
Supplies needed:
Frame–bigger than 8×10 works better
Scrapbook paper
mini clothespins
Jute or string
Hot glue
Stick glue
Cutting machine–or you can hand cut them
To start, I simply painted the frame green, then glazed it. You will notice that the frame I used is not the frame I initially started with. I tried to make the smaller frame work, but it was just too little for this project.
For the little cards, I used my Cricut to cut them out, but you could also cut a basic shape if you don't have a cutting machine. I cut the numbers & red vinyl using the Cricut as well.
I printed off all the activities from my computer, then glued them to the back. I found some good ideas here.
To finish, hot glue the jute on the back of your frame, using the correct spacing, then attach your clothespins & the cards.
It's really that easy!
And now I have some very excited little ones who can't wait to see what the card will read each day! And that is exactly why I made this. 🙂
Happy Holidays!

What does it mean when you dream about being fat?
Being fat in a dream is a straightforward symbol of overindulgence, but it can also represent wealth and opulence. The dreaming mind often literalizes common verbal expressions in an effort to convey something to the conscious mind. Thus, an image of a fat person in a dream can indicate anything from a "fat cat," to "fat chance," to "fathead," to "fat city." (See also Obesity).
Pertaining to an obese person.
Any of the glyceryl esters of fatty acids which form a class of neutral organic compounds.
The chief component of fat cells and other animal and plant tissues.

FAT(File Allocation Table) The mechanism that keeps track of files stored on disk in the FAT file system, which originated in DOS and was used in Windows prior to the NTFS file system. However, the FAT32 format is widely used with external devices for compatibility on all platforms (see FAT32).
The FAT Table
When a disk is high-level formatted, the FAT table is recorded twice and contains an entry for each cluster on the disk. The file system's directory list, which contains file name, extension, date, etc., points to the FAT entry where the file starts.
If a file is larger than one cluster, the first FAT entry points to the next FAT entry where the second cluster of the file is stored and so on to the end of the file. If a cluster becomes damaged, its FAT entry is marked as such, and that cluster is never used again. The original 16-bit version of (FAT16) supported hard disk partitions up to 4GB and files as large as 2GB. The 32-bit version dramatically increased capacity. See FAT32, NTFS, inode and file system.
|The FAT Table
|The file RESUME.DOC is stored in clusters 0, 2, 3 and 7. The directory entry points to cluster 0 where the file begins. The entry for cluster 0 points to cluster 2 and so on. BUDGET.XLS is stored in clusters 1, 4, 8 and 9.

Those were great-looking blue and orange jersies. Reminiscent of the 80's style BP unis. I was hoping you would make an exception and do this loss in color just for that reason, but I agree, it was a life-less, colorless loss. Maybe Mets brass will see all the positive feedback on the blue & orange and finally ditch the atrocious blacks.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I loved the blue; I would not be opposed at all to them turning it into a full-time regular alternate (I actually kind of like the black jersey - it reminds me of the days of Piazza - but I definitely like the blue more). I don't mind them wearing the "Los Mets" jerseys, but I want to see the blue and orange as a regular Mets jersey and have the Los Mets one be in their standard white or pinstripe. I hope we have reason and an opportunity to display the blue jersey at some point down the line.ReplyDelete

The Denver Rustlers celebrated its 30th birthday this year with its annual luncheon at Del Frisco's restaurant, followed by a trek to the Colorado State Fair to bid on livestock shown by young farmers and ranchers.
The event always always attracts a collection high-powered politicians and civil leaders wearing Rockmount Ranch shirts and this year was no exception. Gov. John Hickenlooper, Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Attorney General John Suthers, Secretary of State Scott Gessler were present, along with candidates who want to succeed some of them in office next year.
The best one-liner came from a Republican who said he saw Congressman Jared Polis at Del Frisco's and as far as he could tell the Boulder Democrat wasn't carrying any beheading equipment. (That's an inside joke featuring Republican House candidate Gordon Klingenschmitt.) Polis photo-bombed his congressional colleagues to add some additional levity to the event.

When Douglas Gilbert photographed Lenore Romney's U.S. Senate campaign for Look Magazine in August of 1970, little did he know that one of his unused images would end up on the cover of TIME 42 years later. "At the time I was hoping for LOOK magazine," he says. "Certainly not TIME! It is a nice surprise."
Gilbert spent some three days trailing Lenore and Mitt through Michigan's Upper Peninsula the summer Lenore tried to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Phil Hart, for whom the Hart Senate Office building is now named. Many people know that Mitt's father, three-term Michigan governor George Romney, ran for President and lost in 1968, but few know the story of his mother's own campaign for high office and how it shaped her son's presidential run in 2012. Fewer still have ever seen Gilbert's photos of mother and son—those collected here did not run, except for one (slide #4), in LOOK's story, and the negatives ended up buried in the Library of Congress archives until TIME discovered them in May. In an ironic turn of history, Gilbert's portrait of newlywed 23-year-old Mitt and his mother strategizing in her campaign hotel room exactly captures a central theme of Mitt's current cautious campaign style, the subject of TIME's cover story this week, "Dreams of His Mother."
Lenore's losing run deeply shaped her son, perhaps even more than her husband's failed presidential bid. Lenore initially called her campaign "a love affair between me and the people of Michigan." But a month after Gilbert shot these images, her tune had turned. "It's the most humiliating thing I know of to run for office," she said. And Mitt, who was at her elbow at every turn that summer, felt the effects.
Nevertheless, Gilbert saw the charismatic Lenore that Mitt championed. "I found her to be very personable and friendly. I never really felt any pushback from her at all," he remembers. "She attracted people." On the mama's boy, Gilbert's memories are more vague. "I remember mostly Lenore. Mitt was, as far as I knew, the college-aged son who was helping out," he recalls. "I knew it was a funny name, Mitt, but I didn't know him beyond that."
Mitt however was making a name for himself on the campaign trail even then. He traveled to each of Michigan's 83 counties on his mom's behalf, and talked openly with reporters about her platform every step of the way. Mitt Romney finds himself in a similar position, more than 40 years later: traveling the country, and this time, convincing voters of his own credentials to become President of the United States. That outcome hinges on voters this November; Lenore's influence on that journey, though, is indisputable.

Meningitis cases climb to 47 infected in seven states
The number of meningitis infections tied to a New England pharmacy's contaminated steroid injections has increased, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday.
There are now 47 cases of fungal meningitis identified in 7 states: Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Five people have died.
"All patients who may have received these medications need to be tracked down immediately. Patients can find the names of the clinics that used these medications on the CDC website," Dr. Benjamin Park, medical officer of the CDC's Mycotic Diseases Branch, said in a statement Friday. "It is possible that if patients with infection are identified soon and put on appropriate antifungal therapy, lives may be saved."
- Meningitis outbreak spotlights risks of drug mixing
- Meningitis outbreak may affect more than 23 states
- Meningitis scare has patients on edge
Thursday, the agency had announced 35 infections (including the five deaths) in six states and said in a press conference it expected that number to climb. The newest state to report infections is Michigan, with four new reported infections. The most infections and deaths were in Tennessee, which reported 29 cases and 3 deaths.
Tennessee was the first state to have a reported case of fungal meningitis, on Sept. 21, the CDC said. A patient had developed infections after receiving methylprednisolone acetate steroid injections for back pain. At least 17 of the Tennessee cases were treated at the Saint Thomas Outpatient Neurosurgery Center in Nashville. The center had 2,000 vials from the suspect lots -- the largest number -- and voluntarily closed its doors last month in light of the investigation.
On Sept. 28, the CDC was notified of cases outside of Tennessee.
The products were from the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass. Upon discovery of contaminants in an unopened vial at the facility, three lots of the injections were recalled last week, 17, 676 vials in total. The products may have been sent to 75 facilities in 23 states but because the company was licensed in all 50 states, health officials warned doctors not to use any of its products.
"Given the severity of illness, we believe these precautionary measures are warranted to protect public health," Ilisa Bernstein, director of the FDA office of compliance, said during Thursday's press conference.
On Oct. 1, the New England Compounding Center voluntarily shut down its manufacturing center.
Fungal meningitis is a non-contagious form of the disease, as opposed to bacterial and viral types. It is often caused by fungus, typically found in leaf mold. Authorities said some people were experiencing mild stroke-like symptoms, including slurred speech, and difficulty walking and urinating. Other fungal meningitis symptoms include worsening and severe headache, nausea, dizziness and fever.
It can be treated with high-dose antifungal medications, usually given intravenously in a hospital. The earlier the disease is diagnosed and treated, the better the chances of survival are, health officials said.

Commodity markets experienced mixed fortunes this week as traders digested upbeat data from China, Europe and the US, while gold slid as investors shifted cash out of the safe-haven precious metal.
Figures from British bank HSBC showed China's manufacturing activity this month hitting a two-year high. Also on Thursday, US jobless claims came in well below expectations, an unexpectedly strong result for the second week in a row.
In Europe, a purchasing managers index, an indicator of manufacturing and services activity, this month reached its highest level in 10 months. Added to the mix, investors digested news that German business confidence struck the highest level in seven months this month.
OIL: Brent prices struck a three-month peak on Friday on the back of a weak US dollar, upbeat German data and growing global economic optimism, but pulled lower in late afternoon deals as dealers took profits.
Brent North Sea crude hit US$113.84 per barrel — the highest level since mid-October.
"Oil is heading for the longest streak of weekly advances in nearly four years after optimism on global demand took both crude benchmarks higher," CMC Markets analyst Matt Basi said.
"Recent German confidence figures have added to an improving picture from the US and China, with US official figures suggesting demand has increased by the most in a month last week," he said.
By Friday on the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) or light sweet crude for delivery in March firmed to US$95.70 a barrel from US$95.38 for the February contract a week earlier.
On London's Intercontinental Exchange, Brent North Sea crude for March jumped to US$113.17 a barrel compared with US$110.85 the previous week.
PRECIOUS METALS: Gold prices slid as investors moved cash into riskier assets and after top consumer India ramped up taxation.
"The market is losing investor confidence in an environment when global sentiment remains more or less positive," VTB Capital analyst Andrey Kryuchenkov said.
"Bullion has now fully decoupled from the broader market, showing little reaction to upbeat preliminary January manufacturing PMIs in China ... as well as much better than expected manufacturing PMIs in the eurozone," he said.
India, meanwhile, hiked the import duty on gold by 50 percent in an effort to reduce demand and help stem the country's ballooning current account deficit.
By late Friday on the London Bullion Market, gold was down to US$1,660 an ounce from US$1,688.50 a week earlier.
Silver eased to US$31.56 an ounce from US$31.82.
On the London Platinum and Palladium Market, platinum firmed to US$1,678 an ounce from US$1,677. Palladium increased to US$725 an ounce from US$722.
BASE METALS: Base or industrial metals diverged in choppy trade, winning partial support from the positive economic backdrop.
"Base metals have garnered some support this week from positive economic data worldwide, dollar weakness and very low risk" appetite, BNP Paribas analyst Stephen Briggs said. "But amid choppy conditions, they have made no net progress, thus falling further behind stock markets."
By late Friday on the London Metal Exchange, copper for delivery in three months fell to US$8,028 a tonne from US$8,122 a week earlier.
Three-month aluminum fell to US$2,049 a tonne from US$2,066, while three-month lead edged up to US$2,364 a tonne from US$2,328.

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) -- A Carnival Cruise Lines ship that spent several days adrift in the Gulf of Mexico after an engine fire has been repaired and will resume cruises from Texas.
Company officials say the nearly 900-foot Carnival Triumph departs Thursday from Galveston on a sold-out cruise to Mexico.
The ship became disabled during a February cruise of the Caribbean. Passengers had to endure cold food, unsanitary conditions and power outages while the vessel was towed to Mobile, Ala.
A company statement says the Carnival Triumph underwent $115 million in repairs and upgrades. Work was done in Alabama and at a dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas. The ship returned to Galveston on Tuesday.
The Carnival Triumph can accommodate nearly 3,500 passengers and a crew of about 1,100.

Chrysostomos Papasarantopoulos
Rev. Archimandrite Chrysostomos Papasarantopoulos (1900-1972) was a pioneering missionary who laboured to spread the Orthodox faith in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Congo.
Rev. Archimandrite Chrysostomos Papasarantopoulos was born in Vasilitsi, Messenia, Greece in 1900 into a devout Christian home, and from childhood he devoted his life to Christ. Although he had not had very much education in his early life, Father Chrysostomos became a monk and a priest.[1]
During the years 1920-1929 Archimandrite Chrysostomos stayed at the Holy Monastery of Gardikiou (Moni Gardikiou), in Messenia.[2]
After many years of faithful service in his native country, he experienced a strong leading, a true "Macedonian Call,"[note 1] to go as a missionary to Africa. Troubled by his lack of education, and believing he would be of greater value to the Lord as a missionary with a degree, Father Chrysostomos went to University at the age of 55, graduating when he was 60 (i.e. in 1960).[1]
He then came to Kenya. Learning a new language at that age was not easy, but within a year of arriving in Kenya, Father Chrysostomos could preach in Swahili. Although no longer young, Father Chrysostomos displayed an energy, which a man half his age might have envied. He launched himself into a continual round of evangelizing, teaching and preaching. He had the qualities, which should be the hallmark of every priest: zeal, dedication, self-sacrifice, devotion to duty and, above all, holiness.[1]
For 10 years, Father Chrysostomos laboured in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, but all the time his spiritual vision was fixed on another territory, where the flag of Orthodoxy had not at that time been raised: the country which is today called the Democratic Republic of Congo.[note 2] In 1970 Father Chrysostomos went to live in Congo to begin a new mission there, staying there for two years, that is, for the remainder of his life.
Today, much progress has been made in evangelizing Congo, and there is a Metropolitan of the Orthodox Church in Kinshasa. Father Chrysostomos was the pioneer, who laid the foundations, on which the superstructure of Orthodoxy in Congo was raised up. Kenya is not a small country, but Congo is more than four times the size of Kenya. Father Chrysostomos was always on the move, travelling widely in that huge country. His life was a continuous round of travelling, preaching, baptizing, planting churches and celebrating the Divine Liturgy. The greatest desire of his heart was to spread Orthodoxy to Congo, and in this, he was marvellously successful. He was a perfectly humble man, full of the Holy Spirit.[1]
Father Chrysostomos continued his labours until his death on 23 December, 1972.[note 3]

After he passed away in 1990, he was suceeded a year later by priest-monk Fr. Ignatios Sennis, who came to Calcutta to continue the mission. (Censer, Dec. 1998)

Great Highway in SF closed by wind, sand
Photo: Lea Suzuki, The Chronicle
Punishing winds howled across the Bay Area Monday, uprooting trees such as the one Freya (left) and Medea Young play on in San Francisco, above, and closing the Great Highway between Skyline Boulevard and Lincoln Way because of sand, right. The blustery conditions also knocked out power to nearly 4,000 customers on the Peninsula and hundreds more in the North and East Bay, said Jason King, a spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. The weather should start to warm up. For the complete forecast, see Page D6.

(CNN) -- A Seattle man has been charged with insurance fraud for allegedly sinking his own yacht because of "financial pressure and frustration with the maintenance" of the vessel, authorities said.
The Jubilee sank in Puget Sound Bay last year.
On March 22, 2008, Brian Lewis, 50, scuttled the Jubilee in the Puget Sound Bay, then rowed a borrowed dinghy back to shore, according to court documents filed in February by prosecutors in King County, Washington.
Later that day, Lewis boarded a flight to take him to his job in Kodiak, Alaska, as a petty officer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, according to court documents.
Three days later, Lewis filed an insurance claim with USAA Insurance reporting the Jubilee sank accidentally "due to unknown causes."
However, due to environmental concerns, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources salvaged the vessel at a cost to the state of $2,866.
An inspection found a hole was drilled into the bottom of the Jubilee, and that two main engine sea strainers appeared to have been broken with a hammer.
"The vessel appeared to have been deliberately sunk," authorities said in their probable cause affidavit.
Confronted by investigators, Lewis admitted he intentionally sank his vessel, saying the financial strain "caused him extreme anxiety and frustration."
Lewis told investigators "the engine trouble he experienced caused him to lose his temper. In his rage, he smashed the sea strainers with a hammer and drilled the hole to sink the vessel," the affidavit said.
"[He] wanted to clarify that his motive for sinking the vessel was anger and frustration, not greed," it added.
Prior to its sinking, the Jubilee had been listed for sale with Mahina Yachts for $28,500.
Jack Bateman, a broker with Mahina, remembers the Jubilee as a "beautiful" 1967 Chris Craft Cavalier. He said the Mahina has only seen this type of case one other time in its 30 years of operation.
"This is a very rare, not common occurrence" he says. Bateman added that Mahina has yet to see any real distress sales due to the bad economy.
The King County Prosecutor's Office has charged Lewis with making a fraudulent insurance claim.
Lewis filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2004. Messages left for him were not returned.

Fortunately tonight's game will be the football equivalent of a low-sodium diet. New England is walking into Buffalo having had two weeks to gameplan for a wounded opponent. This could get ugly. New England is favored by anywhere from 15-17 depending on where you're shopping. I've got a minor financial interest in the outcome, but my focus will probably be on cartoons for the next couple of hours. I'm all done for the weekend, enjoy your night and feel free to follow along in DUAN. They don't bite but a few of them will oblige if you buy them some of drinks.
