Colour revolution
Colour revolution is a term that was widely used by worldwide media[1] to describe various related movements that developed in several societies in the former Soviet Union and the Balkans during the early 2000s. The term has also been applied to a number of revolutions elsewhere, including in the Middle East. Some observers[who?] have called the events a revolutionary wave, the origins of which can be traced back to the 1986 People Power Revolution (also known as the "Yellow Revolution") in the Philippines.
Participants in the colour revolutions have mostly used nonviolent resistance, also called civil resistance. Such methods as demonstrations, strikes and interventions have been intended protest against governments seen as corrupt and/or authoritarian, and to advocate democracy; and they have also created strong pressure for change. These movements generally adopted a specific colour or flower as their symbol. The colour revolutions are notable for the important role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and particularly student activists in organising creative non-violent resistance.
Such movements have had a measure of success, as for example in Serbia's Bulldozer Revolution (2000); in Georgia's Rose Revolution (2003); and in Ukraine's Orange Revolution (2004). In most but not all cases, massive street protests followed disputed elections, or requests for fair elections, and led to the resignation or overthrow of leaders considered by their opponents to be authoritarian. Some events have been called "colour revolutions" but are different from the above cases in certain basic characteristics. Examples include Lebanon's Cedar Revolution (2005); and Kuwait's Blue Revolution (2005).

Colour revolutions [edit]
Philippines [edit]
The 1986 People Power Revolution (also called the "EDSA" or "Yellow" Revolution) in the Philippines was the first successful non-violent revolution in the contemporary period. It was a series of peaceful demonstrations against the authoritarian regime of then-President Ferdinand Marcos that increased after the 1983 assassination of opposition Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. A tainted snap election on 7 February 1986 and a call by the powerful local Catholic hierarchy sparked mass demonstrations in Metro Manila from 22–25 February that ousted Marcos, with Benigno's widow Corazón replacing him as President and ushering in the present Fifth Republic.
Yugoslavia [edit]
- The 'Bulldozer Revolution' in 2000, which led to the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević. These demonstrations are usually considered to be the first example of the peaceful revolutions which followed. However, the Serbians adopted an approach that had already been used in parliamentary elections in Bulgaria (1997), Slovakia (1998) and Croatia (2000), characterised by civic mobilisation through get-out-the-vote campaigns and unification of the political opposition. The nationwide protesters did not adopt a colour or a specific symbol; however, the slogan "Gotov je" (Serbian Cyrillic: Готов је, English: He is finished) did become an aftermath symbol celebrating the completion of the task. Despite the commonalities, many others refer to Georgia as the most definite beginning of the series of "colour revolutions". The demonstrations were supported by the youth movement Otpor, some of whose members were involved in the later revolutions in other countries.
Former Soviet Union [edit]
- The Rose Revolution in Georgia, following the disputed 2003 election, led to the overthrow of Eduard Shevardnadze and replacing him with Mikhail Saakashvili after new elections were held in March 2004. The Rose Revolution was supported by the Kmara civic resistance movement.
- The Orange Revolution in Ukraine followed the disputed second round of the Ukrainian presidential election, 2004, leading to the annulment of the result and the repeat of the round – Leader of the Opposition Viktor Yushchenko was declared President, defeating Viktor Yanukovych. The Orange Revolution was supported by PORA.
- The Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan (also sometimes called the "Pink Revolution") was more violent than its predecessors and followed the disputed Kyrgyz parliamentary election, 2005. At the same time, it was more fragmented than previous "colour" revolutions. The protesters in different areas adopted the colours pink and yellow for their protests. This revolution was supported by youth resistance movement KelKel.
Related usages in the Middle East [edit]
The following events, having taken place in the Middle East instead of post-Communist Europe and Central Asia, have nonetheless at times been described as part of the series of colour revolutions, and their popular names designed specifically to draw the parallel. Nonetheless they have marked differences with the revolutions described above, and thus their inclusion in the series of "colour revolutions" is so far not universally accepted.
- The Cedar Revolution in Lebanon between February and April 2005 followed not a disputed election, but rather the assassination of opposition leader Rafik Hariri in 2005. Also, instead of the annulment of an election, the people demanded an end to the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. Nonetheless, some of its elements and some of the methods used in the protests have been similar enough that it is often considered and treated by the press and commentators as one of the series of "colour revolutions". The Cedar of Lebanon is the symbol of the country, and the revolution was named after it. The peaceful demonstrators used the colours white and red, which are found in the Lebanese flag. The protests led to the pullout of Syrian troops in April 2005, ending their nearly 30-year presence there, although Syria retains some influence in Lebanon.
- Blue Revolution was a term used by some Kuwaitis[2] to refer to demonstrations in Kuwait in support of women's suffrage beginning in March 2005; it was named after the colour of the signs the protesters used. In May of that year the Kuwaiti government acceded to their demands, granting women the right to vote beginning in the 2007 parliamentary elections.[3] Since there was no call for regime change, the so-called "blue revolution" cannot be categorised as a true colour revolution.
- Purple Revolution was a name first used by some hopeful commentators and later picked up by United States President George W. Bush to describe the coming of democracy to Iraq following the 2005 Iraqi legislative election and was intentionally used to draw the parallel with the Orange and Rose revolutions. However, the name "purple revolution" has not achieved widespread use in Iraq, the United States or elsewhere. The name comes from the colour that voters' index fingers were stained to prevent fraudulent multiple voting.
- Green Revolution is a term widely used to describe the 2009–2010 Iranian election protests. The protests began in 2009, several years after the main wave of colour revolutions, although like them it began due to a disputed election, the 2009 Iranian presidential election. Protesters adopted the colour green as their symbol because it had been the campaign colour of presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, whom many protesters thought had won the elections. However Mousavi failed to show any credible evidence that he had won the election.[4]
- Jasmine Revolution was a widely used term[5] for the Tunisian revolution. The Jasmine Revolution led to the exit of President Ben Ali from office and the beginning of the Arab Spring.
- Lotus Revolution was a term used by various western news sources to describe the 2011 Egyptian revolution that forced President Mubarak to step down in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring, which followed the Jasmine Revolution of Tunisia. Lotus is known as the flower representing resurrection, life and the sun of ancient Egypt. It is uncertain who gave the name, while columnist of Arabic press, Asharq Alawsat, and prominent Egyptian opposition leader Saad Eddin Ibrahim claimed to name it the Lotus Revolution. Lotus Revolution later became common on western news source such as CNN.[6] Other names, such as White Revolution and Nile Revolution, are used but are minor terms compare to Lotus Revolution. the term Lotus Revolution is rarely, if ever, used in the Arab world.[citation needed].
Influencing factors [edit]
Anti-Communist revolutions [edit]
Many have cited the influence of the series of revolutions which occurred in Central and Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989. A peaceful demonstration by students (mostly from Charles University) was attacked by the police – and in time contributed to the collapse of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Yet the roots of the pacifist floral imagery may go even further back to the non-violent Carnation Revolution of Portugal in the mid-1970s, which is associated with the colour carnation because carnations were worn, and the 1986 Yellow Revolution in the Philippines where demonstrators offered peace flowers to military personnel manning armoured tanks.
Student movements [edit]
The first of these was Otpor ("Resistance") in Serbia, which was founded at Belgrade University in October 1998 and began protesting against Miloševic' during the Kosovo War. Many of its members were arrested or beaten by the police. Despite this, during the presidential campaign in September 2000, Otpor launched its "Gotov je" (He's finished) campaign that galvanised Serbian discontent with Miloševic' and resulted in his defeat.
Members of Otpor have inspired and trained members of related student movements including Kmara in Georgia, Pora in Ukraine, Zubr in Belarus and MJAFT! in Albania. These groups have been explicit and scrupulous in their practice of non-violent resistance as advocated and explained in Gene Sharp's writings.[7] The massive protests that they have organised, which were essential to the successes in Serbia, Georgia and Ukraine, have been notable for their colourfulness and use of ridiculing humor in opposing authoritarian leaders.
Soros foundation and U.S. influence [edit]
Opponents of the colour revolutions often accuse the Soros Foundation and/or the United States government of supporting and even planning the revolutions in order to serve Western geopolitical interests. It is noteworthy that after the Orange Revolution several Central Asian nations took action against the Open Society Institute of George Soros with various means – Uzbekistan, for example, forced the shutting down of the OSI regional offices, while Tajikistan's state-controlled media have accused OSI-Tajikistan of corruption and nepotism.[8]
Evidence suggesting U.S. government involvement includes the USAID (and UNDP) supported Internet structures called Freenet[citation needed], which are known to comprise a major part of the Internet structure in at least one of the countries – Kyrgyzstan – in which one of the colour revolutions occurred.
The Guardian[9] claimed that USAID, National Endowment for Democracy, the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, and Freedom House are directly involved; the Washington Post and the New York Times also reported substantial Western involvement in some of these events.[10][11]
Activists from Otpor in Serbia and Pora in Ukraine have said that publications and training they received from the US-based Albert Einstein Institution staff have been instrumental in the formation of their strategies.[12][13]
Reactions and connected movements in other countries [edit]
Armenia [edit]
Aram Karapetyan, leader of the New Times political party in Armenia, has declared his intention to start a "revolution from below" in April 2005, saying that the situation was different now that people had seen the developments in the CIS. He added that the Armenian revolution will be peaceful but not have a colour.[14]
Azerbaijan [edit]
A number of movements were created in Azerbaijan in mid-2005, inspired by the examples of both Georgia and Ukraine. A youth group, calling itself Yox! (which means No!), declared its opposition to governmental corruption. The leader of Yox! said that unlike Pora or Kmara, he wants to change not just the leadership, but the entire system of governance in Azerbaijan. The Yox movement chose green as its colour.[15]
The spearhead of Azerbaijan's attempted colour revolution was Yeni Fekir ("New Idea"), a youth group closely aligned with the Azadlig (Freedom) Bloc of opposition political parties. Along with groups such as Magam ("It's Time") and Dalga ("Wave"), Yeni Fekir deliberately adopted many of the tactics of the Georgian and Ukrainian colour revolution groups, even borrowing the colour orange from the Ukrainian revolution.[16][17]
In November 2005 protesters took to the streets, waving orange flags and banners, to protest what they considered government fraud in recent parliamentary elections.[citation needed] The Azerbaijani colour revolution finally fizzled out with the police riot on 26 November, during which dozens of protesters were injured and perhaps hundreds teargassed and sprayed with water cannons.[18]
Belarus [edit]
In Belarus, there have been a number of protests against President Alexander Lukashenko, with participation from student group Zubr. One round of protests culminated on 25 March 2005; it was a self-declared attempt to emulate the Kyrgyzstan revolution, and involved over a thousand citizens. However, police severely suppressed it, arresting over 30 people and imprisoning opposition leader Mikhail Marinich.
A second, much larger, round of protests began almost a year later, on 19 March 2006, soon after the presidential election. Official results had Lukashenko winning with 83% of the vote; protesters claimed the results were achieved through fraud and voter intimidation, a charge echoed by many foreign governments.[citation needed] Protesters camped out in October Square in Minsk over the next week, calling variously for the resignation of Lukashenko, the installation of rival candidate Alaksandar Milinkievič, and new, fair elections.
The opposition originally used as a symbol the white-red-white former flag of Belarus; the movement has had significant connections with that in neighbouring Ukraine, and during the Orange Revolution some white-red-white flags were seen being waved in Kiev. During the 2006 protests some called it the "Jeans Revolution" or "Denim Revolution",[19] blue jeans being considered a symbol for freedom. Some protesters cut up jeans into ribbons and hung them in public places.[citation needed] It is claimed that Zubr was responsible for coining the phrase.
Lukashenko has said in the past: "In our country, there will be no pink or orange, or even banana revolution." More recently he's said "They [the West] think that Belarus is ready for some 'orange' or, what is a rather frightening option, 'blue' or 'cornflower blue' revolution. Such 'blue' revolutions are the last thing we need".[20] On 19 April 2005, he further commented: "All these coloured revolutions are pure and simple banditry."[21]
Burma [edit]
In Burma (officially called Myanmar), a series of anti-government protests were referred to in the press as the Saffron Revolution[22][23] after Buddhist monks (Theravada Buddhist monks normally wear the colour saffron) took the vanguard of the protests. A previous, student-led revolution, the 8888 Uprising on 8 August 1988, had similarities to the colour revolutions, but was violently repressed.
China [edit]
A call which first appeared on 17 February 2011 on the Chinese language site Boxun.com in the United States for a "Jasmine revolution" in the People's Republic of China and repeated on social networking sites in China resulted in blocking of internet searches for "jasmine" and a heavy police presence at designated sites for protest such as the McDonald's in central Beijing, one of the 13 designated protest sites, on 20 February 2011. A crowd did gather there, but their motivations were ambiguous as a crowd tends to draw a crowd in that area.[24] Boxun experienced a denial of service attack during this period and was inaccessible.[25]
Moldova [edit]
The opposition is reported to have hoped for and urged some kind of Orange revolution, similar to that in Ukraine, in the follow-up of the Moldovan parliamentary elections, 2005, while the Christian Democratic People's Party adopted orange for its colour in a clear reference to the events of Ukraine.[citation needed]
A name hypothesised for such an event was "Grape Revolution" because of the abundance of vineyards in the country; however, such a revolution failed to materialise after the governmental victory in the elections. Many reasons have been given for this, including a fractured opposition and the fact that the government had already co-opted many of the political positions that might have united the opposition (such as a perceived pro-European and anti-Russian stance). Also the elections themselves were declared fairer in the OSCE election monitoring reports than had been the case in other countries where similar revolutions occurred, even though the CIS monitoring mission strongly condemned them.
There was civil unrest all over Moldova following the 2009 Parliamentary election due to the opposition claiming that the communists had fixed the election. Eventually, the Alliance for European Integration created a governing coalition that pushed the Communist party into opposition.
Mongolia [edit]
This article contains weasel words: vague phrasing that often accompanies biased or unverifiable information. (December 2008) |
On 25 March 2005, activists wearing yellow scarves held protests in the capital city of Ulan Bator, disputing the results of the 2004 Mongolian parliamentary elections and calling for fresh elections. One of the chants heard in that protest was "Let's congratulate our Kyrgyz brothers for their revolutionary spirit. Let's free Mongolia of corruption."[26]
An uprising commenced in Ulan Bator on 1 July 2008 with a peaceful meeting in protest of the election of 29 June results corrupted (as claimed the opposition political parties) by the Mongolian People's Party (MPRP). Approximately 30,000 people took part in the meeting. After the meeting was over a part of protesters left the central square and moved to the building of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, attacked and next burned this building. A police station also was attacked.[27] By the night rioters set fire to the Cultural Palace, where a theatre, museum and National art gallery were vandalised and burned. Cars torching,[28] bank robberies and looting were reported.[27] The organisations in the burning buildings were vandalised and looted. Police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon against stone-throwing protesters.[27] A 4-day state of emergency was installed, the capital has been placed under a 2200 to 0800 curfew, and alcohol sales banned,[29] rioting not resumed.[30] 5 people were shot dead by the police[citation needed], dozens of teenagers were wounded from the police firearms[31] and disabled and 800 people, including the leaders of the civil movements J. Batzandan, O. Magnai and B. Jargalsakhan, were arrested.[citation needed] International observers said 1 July general election was free and fair.[32]
Pakistan [edit]
In 2007 the Lawyers' Movement started in Pakistan with the aim of restoration of deposed judges. However, within a month the movement took a turn and started working towards the goal of removing Pervez Musharraf from power.[33]
Russia [edit]
The liberal opposition in Russia is represented by several parties and movements, the most remarkable of which is Oborona youth movement.[citation needed] Oborona claims that its aim is to provide free and honest elections and to establish in Russia a system with democratic political competition. This movement is one of the most active and radical ones and is represented in a number of Russian cities.
The opposition in the Republic of Bashkortostan has held protests demanding that the federal authorities intervene to dismiss Murtaza Rakhimov from his position as president of the republic, accusing him of leading an "arbitrary, corrupt, and violent" regime. Airat Dilmukhametov, one of the opposition leaders, and leader of the Bashkir National Front, has said that the opposition movement has been inspired from the mass protests of Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.[34] Another opposition leader, Marat Khaiyirulin, has said that if an Orange Revolution were to happen in Russia, it would begin in Bashkortostan.[35]
Uzbekistan [edit]
In Uzbekistan, there has been longstanding opposition to President Islam Karimov, from liberals and Islamists. Following protests in 2005, security forces in Uzbekistan carried out the Andijan massacre that successfully halted country-wide demonstrations. These protests otherwise could have turned into colour revolution, according to many analysts.[36][37]
The revolution in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan began in the largely ethnic Uzbek south, and received early support in the city of Osh. Nigora Hidoyatova, leader of the Free Peasants opposition party, has referred to the idea of a peasant revolt or 'Cotton Revolution'. She also said that her party is collaborating with the youth organisation Shiddat, and that she hopes it can evolve to an organisation similar to Kmara or Pora.[38] Other nascent youth organisations in and for Uzbekistan include Bolga and the freeuzbek group.
Uzbekistan has also had an active Islamist movement, led by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, most notable for the 1999 Tashkent bombings, though the group was largely destroyed following the 2001 NATO invasion of Afghanistan.[39]
Backlash in other countries [edit]
When groups of young people protested the closure of Venezuela's RCTV television station in June 2007, president Hugo Chávez said that he believed the protests were organised by the West in an attempt to promote a "soft coup" like the revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia.[40]
In July 2007, Iranian state television released footage of two Iranian-American prisoners, both of whom work for western NGOs, as part of a documentary called "In the Name of Democracy." The documentary purportedly discusses the colour revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia and accuses the United States of attempting to foment a similar ouster in Iran.[41]
Other Use [edit]
The 'Purple Revolution' social media campaign of Naheed Nenshi catapulted his platform from 8% to become Calgary's 36th Mayor. The platform advocated city sustainability and to inspire the high voter turn out of 56%, particularly among young voters.[42][43]

One question I've been asked many times in the last three months is: "Don't you get tired of salads?"
Well, yeah. If you do something the same way, all the time, yeah, you'll get tired of it.
So, I had to think differently about salads.
First off, I changed my dressings. Typically I'm a thousand island, Italian or balsamic vinagrette kind of girl, but lately I've been trying all kinds that I'd never tried before. I'm really digging raspberry vinagrette these days – who knew? I just make sure to choose light, fat free or sugar free dressings. Alternatively, you can also use some kind of juice, like lemon, to freshen up the taste of your salad.
Secondly, I tried something that I learned from another weight loss blog (and I can't remember the name of it now, unfortunately – if I do I'll post a link).
Basically this person pre-made their salads for the week in one night in a huge plastic tub. That way, they don't have to take the time of making a salad from scratch – chopping the greens and other veggies that go into it – every day for lunch. The salad is premade so they can just grab a serving out of it and go.
I tried this last night, and the picture you see is the salad I made and I'll have it each day for lunch this week (along with some soup). I know I could've made it more colorful, but I went with what I was hungry for. I used a bag of premade salad lettuce and carrots (I'm not supposed to eat many carrots, so I didn't add in extra), and then I added in all kinds of veggie goodies I love, like mushrooms, bell peppers, cucumbers, broccoli and cauliflower. I really wish I'd put in some tomatoes and maybe celery. I have some grilled chicken that I'm going to add in – later – for protein.
You can add anything to this that you like – onions, strawberries or other fruits, nuts, raisins, etc. Even if you think you won't like something on a salad, give it a try. You never know.
I'm totally OK with the idea of going very easy on the lettuce and going heavy on the goodies, like mushrooms and tomatoes and peppers and such.
Don't add in the dressing until you're ready to eat, otherwise your veggies will be soggy.
The blogger said her huge premade salad kept for five days. I'm only on day one, so we'll see.
What do you do to spice up your salads?

In Global Conflicts: Palestine, you assume the role of a freelance journalist who has just arrived in Jerusalem armed with a pen, a notepad and your sharp wits to get you through the challenges ahead. The goal is to create and get an article published for a newspaper by collecting quotes from the dialog in the game. The player can either get information by building up trust with each side or take a more confrontational approach to dig out information. In the end, the story with the most news-value will get the best exposure, but be careful what you print, it will affect your standings with both sides. No matter the approach or the chosen alignment, during the course of the game your beliefs and ideas about the conflict will be challenged. You will experience situations - taken from real life events - that are more complicated than outsiders may realize.

CHAPMANVILLE — The 1-3 start and the 29-point pre-Christmas game against Poca now seem like distant memories.
That's because the Chapmanville Tigers are on a roll.
The Chapmanville Regional High School boys' basketball team improved to 8-4 on the season and won its seventh game in its last eight tries with Saturday's 80-54 victory at home over Nicholas County at the CRHS gym.
Chapmanville, which was playing its second game in two days, showed no signs of wear. The Tigers had blown out Cardinal Conference foe Wayne, 52-29, last Friday night at home.
The Tigers, winners of four straight games, got a monster effort from 6-foot-4 senior forward/center Mackenzie Martin, who recorded a double-double with 33 points and 16 rebounds.
Mike Hurst also netted 14 points for Chapmanville, while Trey Dalton also reached double figures in scoring with 13 points. Kenny Plumley added seven, Brady Cox six, Jon Williamson five and Zac Casto two.
Jared Tharp led Nicholas County (6-6) with 18 points followed by Eric Peyatt with 12 and Cody McClung with 11.
Chapmanville led the Grizzlies just 23-22 in the first quarter before completely dominating the second quarter with a 27-4 edge which pushed the lead to 50-26 at halftime. Nicholas outscored Chapmanville 16-15 in the third as the Tigers led 65-42. The Tigers then outpointed the Grizzlies 15-12 in the fourth to set the final score.
Chapmanville, coached by first-year mentor Allan Hatcher, are scheduled to return to action Tuesday night at Herbert Hoover. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. The Tigers routed the Huskies 42-24 in the season opener at home.
The game with Hoover is the first of three straight road games.
The Tigers are then at Tolsia on Friday and at Nicholas County on Jan. 29 before returning home to face off with arch rival Scott on Feb. 1.
Nicholas County 52,
Chapmanville 45
CHAPMANVILLE — Nicholas County gained a split in Saturday's boys/girls doubleheader as the Lady Grizzlies' basketball team won 52-45 over homestanding Chapmanville Regional.
Kristin DesRocher led the Lady Tigers (7-7) with 23 points. Jessica Rideout and Hailey Price had six each, while Hillary Hainer tossed in four. Katelynn Hall chipped in with three points, Chelcie Pritchard had two and Autumn Baisden one.
Shealyn Shafer paced Nicholas County with 28 points. Lauren Young pitched in 11 points.
The Lady Grizzlies improved to 13-1 on the season with the win.
Nicholas County led 15-4 after one quarter, 27-18 at the half and 38-30 after three.
Saturday's clash was a makeup game from the Dec. 21 Hoops Classic contest at the Charleston Civic Center which was postponed due to snowy weather.
The Lady Tigers have eight games left in the regular season beginning with Tuesday night's home game against Sherman. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Chapmanville then has a second straight non-conference game with the Jan. 30 contest at home against Class AAA county rival Logan.
The Lady Tigers then return to Cardinal Conference action on Feb. 4 as Chapmanville hits the road at Poca.

- Even Cavendish surprised by fourth stage win
By Alasdair and Fotheringham CHERASCO, Italy, May 17 - A series of small but challenging climbs late on Friday's stage of the 2012 Giro d'Italia could not stop Britain's Mark Cavendish taking his fourth stage win and second in two days. Italy's Vincenzo Nibali remained overall leader but it was sprinter Cavendish who stole the show again after compatriot and pre-race favorite Bradley Wiggins failed to start the 254 kilometer stage, the longest in this year's Giro. In a bunch sprint finish Cavendish outgunned Italy's Giacomo Nizzolo and Slovenia's Luka Mezgec. ...

- The President's Umbrella Scandal Folded Before It Could Take Off
There was a brief moment where some conservative were trying to make a scandal out of the President's moment in the rain on Thursday. But unfortunately that scandal died before it could really take off. During his Thursday press conference with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, a Marine officer held an umbrella over the President's head to protect him from the rain. There were many problems with this, according to a select group of people.
- Kanye West's Angry 'SNL' Rant Makes Saturday's Season Finale a Must-Watch
This coming weekend is a big one for Saturday Night Live. It marks the end of Bill Hader's tenure on the show and Ben Affleck's fifth time hosting. But perhaps the most significant reason to tune in is the fact that Kanye West is the musical guest, and he's making it seem like he really, really doesn't want to be. With West's apparent frustration with the show and his penchant for, shall we say ... off-the-cuff remarks, producers should be worried and we should be excited. Is there a better combo than that?

VMware vSphere provides a fundamentally better platform for data protection. Applications running on vSphere benefit from:
- Non-disruptive backups: At the time of backup, a snapshot is taken of the virtual machine, and the snapshot is presented to the backup application. This simplifies management by eliminating the need to have an agent running inside the virtual machine. It also avoids consuming resources within the virtual machine for backup jobs.
- Encapsulation: VMware virtualization encapsulates a complete system—including OS, application, and data—into a small set of files. As a result, the entire system is backed up and can be recovered in a single operation, eliminating the complexity of traditional data protection solutions.
VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection integrate directly with leading third-party backup products, enabling VMware backup products to protect virtual machines without the disruption and overhead of running backup tasks with agents inside each virtual machine. With the vStorage APIs for Data Protection, traditional backup products can leverage the advantages of the vSphere platform—non-disruptive backups and encapsulation.

OCZ Technology to delay filing 10-Q
As previously reported, OCZ Technology Group delayed the filing of its Form 10-Qs for the quarter ended August 31, 2012 and for the quarter ended November 30, 2012 as the company requires additional time for compilation and review to insure adequate disclosure of certain information. The company's Audit Committee has also concluded that the company should restate the results for the first quarter of FY13, as well as the results for certain quarters of FY12 and for FY12. The amended Form 10-K for FY12 and the amended Form 10-Q for the first quarter of FY13 have not yet been filed and will be filed before the company files the FY13 Form 10-K. Additionally, as a result of the time requirements to assess the restatement of the financial statements included in previous filings; and the impact and causes of the restatement on 2013 reporting; the company has not completed its financial statements and the other reporting requirements to be included in the fiscal year ended 2013 Form 10-K. As such, the company is not able to meet the filing deadline for its 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2013. The company will endeavor to bring current its corrected and past due filings as soon as practicable though it cannot currently make an assessment of when such filings will be made.

Amity Primary Centers Pink & Perky Relay for Life team is trying a different kind of event to raise funds for this years Daniel Boone Relay. The team is hosting a Comedy Night at the Historic State Theater in Boyertown on Saturday, Feb. 23.
Kathy McNeely is one of the 14 members of this years Pink & Perky team. She said she grew up going to the theater on weekends, and happened to be looking on the website one day recently to see what was playing. She said she saw the fundraising link on the website.
We went down to talk to them and we jumped at the idea of a comedy show, said McNeely. We thought it is something different; no-one was doing anything like this. We have a real fun group of women on the team. I think its going to turn out to be a fun event.
The event will kick off at 7 p.m. on Feb. 23, featuring comics Andrea Mezvinsky and Pat McCool. Mezvinsky has been called Americas Funniest Mom according to the Oprah Show, and McCool is known as the Baby Boomer Southerner.
Every cent that we take in goes directly to the cancer society, McNeely added. Its going to be a fun night. There isnt always an opportunity to go to a local venue to see comedians. They are good comics coming here. And everyone who comes will be supporting a really good cause.
Tickets for the show are $20. Advance tickets are available at the State Theater from 4 to 8 p.m. daily, by contacting any team member or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Pink & Perky relay team made its first appearance in the Daniel Boone relay last year, raising more than $6,300 and surpassing its original goal of $1,000. The goal for this years relay, scheduled for May 18 and 19 at the high school stadium is $8,000.
In addition to the comedy show, the team has been selling cookbooks, has sponsored bus trips, a Monster Mash dance for APC families and in April they team will repeat last years popular Fancy Dance for APC families.
Additionally, the entire Daniel Boone Relay community will be holding a Vera Bradley Bingo event at the high school on Feb. 24, starting at Noon.

The Elite Seiei Collection
ʺSEIEI" (pronounced ʺsay-ayʺ) is a Japanese term for the word - Elite.
Seiei is a status symbol and represents the association between elite products and how they were inspired by and built for elite athletes. The Elite Collection represents the fusion of Japanese tradition with advanced technology. This is symbolised and referenced throughout the collection via the unique colourway chosen for this range.
In ancient Japan, the colour purple was associated to the top ranked Shotokutaishi personnel (nobility and first rank members in society). This colour was deemed extremely valuable due to the fact that it was extremely difficult to extract and produce such a colour in ancient times, hence making the association to elite status. In modern times, the Luminescence Yellow represents radiated energy in the Japanese culture. In association with sport and performance, Mizuno saw this as the perfect link and nucleus to express the energy radiated by elite athletes when their overall performance is enhanced when supported by advanced technology.

Its automated I/O path failover and extensive online configuration, reconfiguration, and maintenance capabilities support 99.999% availability. Proactive monitoring, background repair, and extensive diagnostic features protect your data. The following table describes the standard SANtricity software features that are available with every E-Series system. Capability Product/Feature Description Management Storage administration SANtricity Storage Manager software provides management functionality and a graphical representation of the E-Series storage, with an easy-to-use interface for customization and ongoing operations. Enterprise Management Window The EMW gives a comprehensive view of all E-Series storage systems in the management domain. From the EMW, administrators can add and remove hosts and storage systems, monitor the health of the storage and report its high-level status, configure alert notifications, run scripts to perform batch management tasks, and launch the applicable Array Management Window for a selected storage system to perform detailed configuration and management operations. Array Management Window Each individual storage system is managed through a dedicated Array Management Window. The AMW is used to configure and reconfigure volumes (including attributes such as size, name, modification priority, cache settings, and segment size), define hosts and host groups, grant host or host group access to sets of volumes (called storage partitions), monitor the health of system components, view the Event Log and storage profile, assign hot spares, and monitor storage system performance. High Availability I/O path protection I/O path protection offers load balancing and multipath capabilities for path failover in the event of a connection, HBA, or server failure. Online administration All management tasks can be performed while the storage remains online with complete read/write data access. This allows storage administrators to make configuration changes, conduct maintenance (including firmware upgrades), or expand the storage capacity without disrupting I/O to its attached hosts. Data Protection RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, 6 With support for multiple RAID levels, SANtricity software offers the flexibility to address varying performance and capacity requirements and service levels. Proactive Drive Health Monitoring Proactive Drive Health Monitoring examines every completed drive I/O and tracks the rate of error and exception conditions returned by the drives, as well as drive performance degradation that is often associated with unreported internal drive issues. Using predictive failure analysis technology, when any error rate or degraded performance threshold is exceeded – indicating that a drive is showing signs of impending failure – SANtricity software issues a critical alert message and takes corrective action necessary to protect the data. Background media scans Background media scans proactively check drives for defects and initiate repairs before they can cause problems. This includes rewriting sectors that may not have been properly written, reallocating defective sectors, and finding and repairing parity inconsistencies.

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park) made a rare public appearance Thursday when Rep. Robert Dold's (R-Kenilworth) campaign bus stopped outside the senator's Highland Park home for a visit. Kirk has made few public outings since stroke in January.
Dold also picked up Kirk's endorsement. The video released by the Dold campaign shows the two lawmakers talking but does not disclose the details of their conversation.
"Rep. Dold and I have worked on strengthening the security of Israel and to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capabilities," Kirk said in a release from the Dold campaign. "We worked together to put tougher sanctions on Iran's energy sector and encouraged the administration to sign the new sanctions into law."
Meanwhile, Dold's Democratic challenger, Brad Schneider of Deerfield, got the backing Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Springfield), the state's senior senator, last month.
"He wants to make sure we move forward creating jobs and business opportunities in Illinois," Durbin said. "His background as a businessman puts him in a position to do that."

if Kirk worked for dold's Rose Pest he would have had no health insurance and fired one day after not showing up (having a stroke is not a reason good enough for a Republican to grant you not to come to work). So Kirk...you hypocrite...support Democrats and the government who let's you make money even when you are campaigning for Dold, and thus not doing your job as a Senator. By I applaud Kirk for supporting Dold: two prostitutes who sleep with both their party and anyone else when election time comes.
8:12 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
dold's supporter, I doubt the allegations you post against Congressman Dold have changed anyone's mind about voting for him. Why would anyone accept allegations made by an anonymous poster?
dold's supporter
12:13 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
Allegations, ei? :) Kirk gets paid now because of the government job that has rules that protect workers, rules opposed by Dold. Kirk, under Dold's health care philosophy will never be able to get health insurance in the private sector...due to his stroke which is preexisting condition now. Kirk, under his Party's ideology would be fired, no insurance and most-likely on the street selling Steetwise. He is lucky to have his livehood under Democrats' rules...Kirk should support the Democrats who feed him and take care of him right now...yet, as the fake man that he is he continues to lick the Republican boot that escaped his neck right now but will cach up with him as soon as he is no longer government employee. And stop posting same message everywhere yet object to my message of Dold's not paying his serfs at Rose Pest any overtime...unless you're paid to object in which case...keep doing your job, bring focus on me not on Dold's behaviour as a business owner and Kirk's hypocrisy of endorsing the candidate of the party who wants him dead now since he is no longer able to do menial work for the master Republicans.

Mark Kirk was a strong and independent leader in Congress when he represented the 10th. I'm glad to see he endorsed a candidate who has continued to be that moderate voice and independent leader in Congress: Robert Dold
10:05 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Great to see Kirk out and about, and clearly getting better.
Kirk and Dold both claim to be independent and moderate in Illinois, but their actual votes and actions in Washington mostly tell a different story. They just keep pulling it off with the less-informed.
They may not be extremists like Walsh, Akin, West, or Bachman, but they are hardly as independent or moderate as they claim.

Sorry that Senator Kirk had a stroke. But why is it that he's not well enough to get to Capitol Hill and do the job that he was elected to, but he's well enough to be on the campaign trail to help his buddy Dold? Why is Kirk lauded so highly? It appears his priorities are completely out of whack. If you're sick, you're sick--we hope you get better. Giffords took a year before she resigned--that would be a good benchmark for Senator Kirk. Trying to hold on to the 2014 Governor election seems to be his one and only goal.
Otis My Man
6:13 am on Sunday, November 4, 2012
What a hypocritical fraud Senator Kirk is. Are you well enough to fulfill your elected duties? If so, get your butt over to Washington and do what you've been elected and paid to do. Too sick to do your job? Then go ahead and rehab yourself. Your constituency has patience and understanding up to a point. But the ONLY time you get out of bed to do something constructive is to campaign??? Without question that is lame. I would like to know of any job in America where somebody on the mend does something OPTIONAL before doing something that is REQUIRED of his job. If indeed you are too sick to do your job, quit. It's true for Giffords. It's true for Jessie Jackson Jr. And it's true for you. So far you have missed almost 15% of your term. If you're well enough to campaign, you're well enough to work.

Statement on Zimbabwe's National Independence Day
The National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) today pays tribute to the gallant sons and daughters of this great country who fought fearlessly for the independence of this country. It is in the same spirit that we register our deep concerns over the way the ZANU-PF government has destroyed the national fabric of this great country.
As we celebrate these thirty two years of self rule we are disappointed that today the culture of ZANU-PF has become so endemic in our society. It is ironic that the state apparatus that are meant to protect the people of Zimbabwe and foster an environment of peace (the army and the police) have become the chief perpetrators of violence and chief violators of human rights. The skewed judiciary system is a total derailment of the gains of the liberation struggle. Those opposed to ZANU PF, are being treated unfairly in our courts of law. 32 years after our independence, the laws governing the land, reminiscent the colonial times were the infamous LOMA was arbitrarily used to crash dissenting voices.
We deplore in the strongest terms the abuse of state machinery by ZANU-PF for political gains.
The national Independence is coming right at a time when Zimbabwe is at the crossroads regarding the writing of a new constitution for the country. As all of you are aware that the Select Committee of Parliament known as 'COPAC,' has failed to produce a draft constitution despite all the time and the resources they got from donors.
As the NCA, we passed a vote of NO confidence in COPAC, since the day it was incepted, after a careful analysis that the model as articulated by Article 6 of the Global Political Agreement (GPA), was far from what the people of Zimbabwe envisaged as a process that can yield a truly democratic constitution for Zimbabwe.
Now we are eagerly waiting for the failed COPAC group to officially release their negotiated draft to be tabled for the referendum. Our campaign will be intensified in our villages, townships and farm meetings. As NCA we remain fully committed to the same National Working Peoples Convention resolutions and its commitment to democracy as well as social and economic justice. In the twelve or so years since the NWPC and the formation of the MDC, we have also steadfastly maintained that true democratic change can only be arrived at via a people driven constitution making process and this is reaffirmed in the Zimbabwe's People's Charter.
As we celebrate our independence we remain dedicated to our Take Charge campaign for a 'NO' vote in the pending constitutional referendum. In campaigning for a NO VOTE in the referendum the NCA is just re-affirming that Zimbabwe needs a home grown, people driven and democratic constitution.
A "NO" vote does not mean that people want to be governed by the current Lancaster House Constitution. It does not mean that we want future elections to be held under the current Lancaster House Constitution. It simply means that we want a good constitution and we are rejecting a bad one.
In opposing the COPAC process, we are not opposing this moral demand. We are fulfilling it. Our argument is that the mistakes of 1979 cannot be repeated. And neither should we settle principle for political expediency. Constitution making is in itself a continuation of a political struggle for democracy. It is the fight for a democratic constitution, we are qualifying the dream of a Zimbabwe we want.
This we cannot allow and we are convinced politicians will realise that Zimbabweans are clear on what they want and the Zimbabwe they want to build. We cannot have the process be driven by those whose power society seeks to limit! It has to be an independent commission – independent from this over-arching hand of politicians! We urge you all to be resolute and steady fast in this front line walk of advancement towards egalitarianism. Let us join hands, take charge and complete this change which is imminent.
