Policy uncertainty isn't necessarily a barrier to private equity investment, but elected officials must come to grips with spending and debt that could eventually crush the U.S. economy, Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein said Friday.
"The uncertainty that might exist now is a good thing for certain types of private equity investments, " said the managing director of the private equity giant .
"You make most of your money when you're doing things in an uncertain environment, " he said. "So this equilibrium is the kind of thing that people like us like."
Rubenstein added that a short-term "grand bargain" that prevents the U.S. economy from going over the fiscal cliff was unlikely in the lame-duck session of Congress, which runs from Election Day into January 2013. Still, the next president must come to terms with the burgeoning deficit. (Read more: Five Players Who Can Drive Us Over the 'Fiscal Cliff' .)
"The most important thing the next president has to do is resolve the uncertainty of the debt and deficit, " Rubenstein said, adding that it was impossible to predict whether either President Barack Obama or Republican nominee Mitt Romney would be better for the economy .
Whoever is elected, "what I hope he'll do is … recognize the country cannot continue to have $16 trillion in debt and a $1.3 trillion annual deficit, " he said.
Despite the soft U.S. growth, Rubenstein said there were still pockets of strength worthy of investment, such as the manufacturing sector. He cited DuPont and Sunoco Logistics as manufacturing-related stocks Carlyle has recently invested in.

Cradle is promising to be "an open-world adventure". Built using CryEngine 3. I think this one is for you, PC gamers.
Of course, it's easy to make big promises while your game's still in development. And it's easy to have a game looking good when there aren't any characters on the screen.
The combat system does sound interesting, though: it's going to be based on where you're aiming, not what button you press, which should make hacking and slashing more varied and useful than, say, Skyrim's blind mouse-clicking.
Cradle's looking for $US300,000 on Kickstarter.

One of the more exciting things about living in Champaign-Urbana, at least for movie lovers like me, is Roger Ebert's Annual Film Festival. The 15th Annual Festival is taking place now through Sunday at the newly restored Virginia Theater in downtown Champaign. Since 1999 this festival has been a venue for Roger Ebert to showcase a wide variety of films he loved and wanted to share with a wider audience. I have been lucky to attend the festival for the past several years and have enjoyed many memorable experiences. Sadly, this year's festival will take place without Roger, who passed away on April 4th. While his presence will be greatly missed, the festival seems like a fabulous way to celebrate his life and his boundless enthusiasm for movies.
If you were unable to get tickets to this year's festival, or want to check out films from previous years, The Urbana Free Library can help! We try to have as many of the movies played at Ebertfest in our DVD collection as possible. You can find them in our catalog by doing a search for "Roger Ebert's Film Festival" or by clicking here. Some of the films showcased this year are not yet available on DVD, but we do have several, including:
If you were lucky enough to get tickets, maybe I will see you there!

TMs and HMs
Technical Machines (TMs) and Hidden Machines (HMs) are items found throughout the Pokemon world which allows you to teach certain Moves to certain Pokemon. Not all Pokemon can learn all TMs or HMs.
The differences between TMs and HMs are minimal. TMs are mainly used for battle. They can easily be forgotten to make room for another move. HMs are mainly used for exploration in the Pokemon world, such as cutting down small trees and surfing across oceans. Unlikes TMs, HMs cannot be forgotten unless you go to the Move Deleter, a man that can delete any move in your Pokemon's move set.
Both TMs and HMs can be used an infinite amount of times. Previous games made TMs one time use and HMs infinite use.
Here's the list of the TMs and HMs found in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Locations are being updated with the Walkthrough.
HM Slaves[edit]
A common occurrence among experienced or competitive trainers are HM Slaves. What's an HM Slave? An HM Slave is a Pokemon who is used for nothing but Hidden Machines. Many players hate having Hidden Machines on their Pokemon, seeing as how they can only have four moves at a time, so they get one or two Pokemon to use all the HMs themselves.
Who are the good HM Slaves? Rufflet is a good Pokemon to hold Fly, Cut, and Strength. Unfortunately, Rufflet is a White 2 exclusive Pokemon. The Black 2 exclusive Pokemon, Vullaby, can hold all the same except Strength.
As for the others, Psyduck and Frillish are great Pokemon to hold Surf, Waterfall, Dive, and Flash (Not an HM, but once was, and is used in the field). Psyduck can also use Strength.
However, Bibarel, being Normal-Water type, is easily the most useful HM slave as it can learn every 5th generation HM except for fly.

not too late to register for Girl Scout Summer Camp
Camps open June 8 – space still available
Send a link to a friend
[June 05, 2014]
SPRINGFIELD - There is still
time to register for summer camp experiences offered through Girl
Scouts of Central Illinois. All girls—not just registered Girl
Scouts--are welcome to attend Girl Scout summer camp. Campers
may choose from a variety of sessions centered on adventures like
archery, swimming, hiking, horseback riding, teams courses, a
climbing wall, traveling, the arts, and much more. Camp options
include day camp, mini resident camp and resident camp. Financial
assistance is available for any girl who wishes to attend Girl Scout
summer camp but is unsure her family can afford it.
To register for Girl Scout summer camp, or to find more information
on available camps, visit:
According to More Than S'mores, a new camp-oriented study
from the Girl Scout Research Institute, girls who regularly spend
time outdoors eclipse their peers who spend less time outdoors in
environmental stewardship, and they more readily seek challenges and
are better problem solvers—all essential traits to twenty-first
century leadership. Girl Scouts are also twice as likely as non-Girl
Scouts to say they take action to protect the environment (51
percent versus 23 percent) and that they've had a personal
experience in nature that has made them appreciate it more (49
percent versus 29 percent), according to the report.

Parties Pivot to Blame Game in Cliff Saga
GOP Girds for Brunt of Ire, but Polls Suggest Fingers Will Also Point at Democrats; Obama Aides Recall Debt-Limit Clash
If Congress and the White House fail to strike a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, Republicans are under few illusions as to who will get much of the blame—even if past polls suggest there will be plenty to go around.
"The poor Republicans will get the brunt of it, which may be unfair, but such is life," said Republican Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a former White House budget chief under George W. Bush. "The Republicans are seen as the obstinate ones, where at the very least, the president and his side...

Rob Gronkowski is heading back to the operating table.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday on "NFL Total Access" that the New England Patriots tight end's fourth arm surgery is imminent, according to two sources informed of Gronkowski's prognosis. Doctors will examine Gronkowski's forearm Monday to see if the infection in it has persisted.
Gronkowski had X-rays taken Wednesday as a precursor to surgery, and NFL.com's Albert Breer reported that Dr. Jesse Jupiter, one of America's top fracture surgeons, is set to perform the operation next week at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews was consulted in the case.
The Patriots expect Gronkowski to be ready for training camp, but they won't have a true idea on his timetable until the plate in his arm is replaced.
If the infection has cleared -- Gronkowski has been on antibiotics -- no more surgeries likely will be needed. If not, Rapoport reports there almost certainly will be a fifth surgery that would make it unlikely he'd be ready for training camp in July.
In other words, the Patriots are holding their breath. One more setback -- and there already have been a few -- and the Patriots will have every reason for legitimate concern about Gronkowski.

Museum Paradors: accommodation with a fascinating past
Hospice of the Catholic Monarchs
If, on your trip to Spain, you wish to stay in a special place that is full of charm, we suggest the Parador hotels: unique accommodations (many are old castles, palaces and monasteries) located in natural and historical places of great beauty. If you like the idea of discovering for yourself the legends and history behind the walls of some of these monuments, we suggest that you choose one of the six Museum Paradors.
The Museum Paradors form part of the Parador hotel network and of Spain's artistic and cultural heritage. If you choose to stay at one, you will receive, along with your room key, a guide for visiting the interior of the monument. Through drawings, maps, graphics and photographs, you can discover the most important aspects of the building where you are staying. You will find out about the people who lived there, what it was used for in the past and how to interpret the decorations in its courtyard and façades. Thus, when you pass through a cloister or climb a tower you will feel a special sensation, like a journey into the past... The Museum Parador project is still underway, but you can already choose from among six:
Santo Estevo Parador hotel. It is located in the region of Ourense (Galicia) and is a spectacular Benedictine monastery. It is in the centre of the Ribeira Sacra region, an area of stunning natural beauty. Do not miss the three cloisters (Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance) of this Historic-Artistic Monument. Find out about Abbot Franquila, the first to govern the monastery in the 10th century, and the legend of the rings of the nine Holy Bishops. Santiago Parador hotel. It is one of the most emblematic monuments in Santiago de Compostela (Galicia). Also known as the Hospice of the Catholic Monarchs, if you choose this Parador hotel, you will be staying in a 15th century building that was used to house the pilgrims visiting the city. Regarded as one of the oldest hotels in the world, it is also one of the most beautiful. During your stay, you will discover secrets like the place where leeches were kept for "bleeding" the sick and grotesques figures made by stone carvers in the 16th century. Granada Parador hotel. Experience spending a night in an old convent built by order of the Catholic Monarchs on the site of a Nasrid Palace. Enjoy its surprising Nasrid Room. Also, do not forget: this Parador hotel is located in the grounds of the famous Alhambra (in Granada, Andalusia). Do you want to know another curious thing? This is where Isabella and Ferdinand the Catholic were laid in rest until their bodies were transferred to the Royal Chapel of Granada.
Oropesa Parador hotel. Some of the attractions of this 14th century castle-palace are its keep (Torre del Homenaje), the columns and arcades in its courtyard and its magnificent views of the Gredos Mountains. Find out about legends like the kidnapped princess, the cell in which San Pedro de Alcántara lived, the balcony of Alfonso XIII and the Duchess's dressing room, and about the places where Frank Sinatra made the film "The Pride and the Passion". You only have to travel to the region of Toledo (Castile-La Mancha, Spain). Cardona Parador hotel. This medieval castle, with a tower and Romanesque church, await your visit in the area of Barcelona (Catalonia). As it stands on top a small hill, you will get a unique panoramic view of the city of Cardona. You will also discover the milestones of wars that occurred at the fortress, what clerical life was like on the site, and its links with the dynasty of the Lords of Cardona. Úbeda Parador hotel. You find this 16th century Renaissance palace in the region of Jaén (Andalusia). You are sure to be struck by the inner courtyard's glass-topped double gallery. Opened as a Parador hotel in 1930 by order of King Alfonso XIII, it belonged to the Dean of the Sacred Chapel of El Salvador. Once there, you will be informed about the building's legends and the most important places in the town of Úbeda. Parador de Cangas de Onís. In Asturias in northern Spain, you can stay in the monastery of San Pedro de Villanueva. One of its main attractions is the large quantity of artistic treasures that the Benedictine monks left during the millennium in which they inhabited it. The monastery was built in the 18th century on the ruins of a palace. Parador de León. On the outskirts of the city of León, you'll have a chance to sleep in one of the most extraordinary monumental hotels in Europe. This is the Convent of San Marcos, a building which in the 16th century replaced what was previously the headquarters in this region of the Military Order of Saint James of the Sword. At all of them you can enjoy exquisite gastronomy, the charm of canopied beds, towers, walls, etc. This is just the accommodation you are looking for. More information: http://www.parador.es

Shopping Cart
Checking for your cart...
First let's get you fitted. To get the right fit and size for you, check out our Snowboard Sizing Chart and Buyers Guide.
Most snowboards can be ridden in any type of terrain but there are specialized boards designed for specific applications and skill levels to help you get the most out of your experience. Let's start with these top five board types.
Great as a beginner board, the all-mountain snowboard can be used on any terrain or conditions from groomed runs or backcountry powder to a park or pipe. With a slight set back stance, usually a directional flex, and a slightly deeper side cut, the all-mountain snowboard caters to riders who want one board that can handle it all.
Freestyle boards are made to do tricks, jumps and hit jibs. They are light, short and flexible with twin tips. Good for riders who want a lively ride anywhere on the mountain, or those who like to push their limits in terrain parks.
For smooth, controlled riding and carving the Freeride board is ideal. Slightly longer, with quick response and narrow or wide designs, they are meant for higher speed and cleaner carved turns. With a setback stance and more nose than tail, this snowboard will deliver quick edge turns and stability for speed.
This is not your everyday go-to board. Powder boards are ideal when you are seeking the deepest powder and want to slay turns all day long in the backcountry or deep bowls. These boards have a directional shape so they are wider in the nose then in the tail. This helps the nose float and the tail sink for sharper performance and an aggressive feel, making them more challenging to ride.
For the adventurous spirit, the Splitboard is a snowboard that can be separated into two ski-like parts used with climbing skins to trek up backcountry slopes. Once you find the summit, the two halves can be connected to form a regular snowboard for a memorable, downhill ride.
Asymmetrical boards incorporate a sharper, deeper sidecut on the heel edge compared to the toe edge. The core is also softer on the heel side. This allows the rider to flex the board more on heel side for a tighter, more precise and more natural feeling turn, giving the rider better balance and maneuverability.
Directional Boards are designed to be ridden in your natural stance and to go in one direction easier than the other. With a pointier nose and stiffer tail a directional board maintains stability better at high speed and is great for cruising and carving.
The tip (top half) and tail (bottom half) are identical in twin boards and the flex is the same on both ends. They are symmetrical in shape and the stance is exactly centered so they ride equally well forwards and backwards (switch), making them perfect for park tricks that require you to take off or land switch.
At first glance, a directional twin snowboard looks like a twin but the default stance is slightly set back and/or the flex is not symmetrical (usually stiffer in the tail). They can also transition easily to the park to perform tricks on rails and jumps.
A tapered directional board is like a directional board, but the width of the nose will be noticeably larger than the width of the tail. Almost everything about the tip and tail are different including flex, sidecut, length and width. The stance is usually set back for a one-directional, surf-style ride. This is the board for freeriders who want to attack tough terrain and off-piste, backcountry powder.Check out our 2015 Snowboards, 2016 Snowboards and 2017 Snowboards.

Congress passes $9.7B Sandy relief bill
Updated: 2:26 p.m. ET
The House and Senate today passed a bill approving more than $9 billion in aid for regions impacted by superstorm Sandy, the first of two Sandy relief measures making their way through Congress between now and the end of the month.}
The measure, which allows FEMA to temporarily increase the National Flood Insurance program's borrowing limit by $9.7 billion, will now head to the White House for the president's signature.
On January 15, the first full day of legislative business on Capitol Hill, House Speaker John Boehner is expected to bring up a vote for additional Sandy relief measures totaling the remaining $51 billion requested by President Obama.
- Christie blasts Boehner on Sandy bill: "Shame on Congress"
- Amid backlash, Boehner schedules Sandy vote
The House was expected to vote on a Sandy relief package earlier this week, before the close of the 112th Congress. But after the House passed a Democrat-crafted deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff" -- a deal many Republicans disliked due to a lack of spending cuts and an increase in tax rates -- Boehner pulled the Sandy legislation at the last minute.
His decision was met with outrage on both sides of the aisle, and Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie lashed out at the speaker in a press conference the following day. Several House Republicans also threatened to vote against Boehner's bid to be re-elected Speaker of the House.
In light of the backlash, Boehner quickly scheduled the $9.7 billion flood insurance package for today and pledged to conduct a vote on the remaining funds on January 15.
This first portion of Sandy aid was expected to pass, though there were objections among conservative Republicans. The Club for Growth sent out a press release urging House members to vote "no" on the bill, arguing that "Congress should not allow the federal government to be involved in the flood insurance industry in the first place, let alone expand the national flood insurance program's authority."
Republican Jeb Hensarling, R-Tex., also expressed his opposition to the legislation, citing general objections to the national flood insurance program as well as a desire for the $9.7 billion to be offset by reductions elsewhere.
"There is no doubt that Hurricane Sandy rendered unspeakable damage to both lives and property on our East Coast," he said in remarks on the House floor. "The tragic reality [is] the national flood insurance program is broke. It is beyond broke... Emergency bills like this should not come to the floor without offsets to pay for it or structural reforms to ensure that taxpayer bailouts are never needed again. Regrettably, less than 24 hours into a new congress, there is simply not time for this."
Democrats fiercely defended the legislation, and continued to blast Republicans for stalling on the original vote.
"The victims of superstorm sandy can wait no longer. It's been 11 weeks," added Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., in remarks during debate over the bill. "Haven't they suffered and waited long enough?"
Following the bill's passage through the Senate, Christie and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., lauded what they called a "critical first step towards delivering aid to the people of New Jersey and New York." But they emphasized that Congress' work is not finished.
"While we are pleased with this progress, today was just a down payment and it is now time to go even further and pass the final and more complete, clean disaster aid bill," the governors said in a joint statement. "We are trusting Congress to act accordingly on January 15th and pass the final $51 billion instrumental for long-term rebuilding in order for New Jersey, New York and our people to recover after the severe devastation of Hurricane Sandy."

Via Packer Report's Twitter machine, I saw the following little ditty from Coach McCarthy from his press conference. (@PackerReport is a great follow if you enjoy using the Tweeter.)
MM said players were acting like they lost the game today.Well, last I checked, when you score more points than your opponent, it counts in the "win" column. Sure enough, the NFC North standings reflect this assumption. Sure, it wasn't exactly pretty, but when you are down nine starters, and you lose two more, you can't always look pretty like this.
— Packer Report (@PackerReport) October 29, 2012
It sounded to me like the Packers need a little pick me up.
"Now as Coach Mike probably told you, my name is Matt Foley, and I am a motivational speaker."
"So, let me give you a little scenario about what my life is all about. First up, I am 35. I am divorced, and I live in a van down by the river."
"You there, what position do you play?"
Tim Masthay: "Well, actually, Matt, I kind of always wanted to be a QB."
"Well, la-dee-freakin'-dah! We got ourselves a QB here. Hey, Coach Mike, I can't see too good. Is that Bartholomew Starr over there?"
Mike McCarthy: "...."
"Now from what I hear, you're using your arm not for punting but for throwing footballs. You're going to be throwing a lot of footballs when you're living in van down by the river!!"
"Hey you guys are probably saying to yourselves: I'm gonna go out there and grab the NFL by the tail! and wrap it around and pull it down and put it in my jock strap. Well I'm here to tell you that you're probably going to find out, as you go out there, that you're not going to amount to jack squat!"
"Well, I see one solution! And that is to get my gear and move into Lambeau! We're gonna be buddies! We're gonna be pals! Just me and my buddies!"
{Matt picks up James Jones and swings him around}
"I'm gonna get my gear!"
Mike McCarthy: "Umm...actually, Matt, you don't have to do that."
"I don't really give a rat's behind! I'm moving in! I'm tired of living in a van down by the river!!"
Now, I'm not sure if this little pep talk will work, but I do know that this poor coffee table was never heard from again:

How Sweep It Is

Dick Price Jr. And His '55 Ford Customline Have History
The best hot rods are the ones we build over and over in our minds. They become better when we let the idea simmer until finally there's an epiphany–"I know exactly what I want." For Dick Price Jr. of Wichita, Kansas this moment came in 2006 when reading a copy of the NSRA's StreetScene. He noticed a 1955 Ford Customline for sale and it was listed as a 30,044 mile car that looked new. All of us know what comes next and the rest of this story is in front of you.
Dick comes by way of his Ford roots the old-fashion way–genetically. His family is deeply linked to the Blue Oval beginning with his grandfather who opened in 1916 the first automotive dealership in Wichita, Kansas–Ford. After World War II his father Dick Price Sr. opened Dick Price Lincoln Mercury on the same block as Price Ford. Dick Jr., while working in 1958 as a service helper in his dad's dealership, bought a '55 Ford Customline. It didn't take long before his ride was parked at Star Kustom (Daryl Starbird) where it was nosed and decked and then pinstriped by King George. After a stint in the service, which included visiting South East Asia, he came home to the family business, Price Brothers Equipment, where he resides today as president.
Devlin Rod and Customs receives the nod for the outstanding workmanship seen on this Customline. Tim Devlin, Ryan James, Kevin Carr, Clay Hoberecht, and Tommy Gibson form the crew at Devlin Rod and Customs in Wichita.
The two-door post is chopped a subtle inch, emblems deleted, door handles shaved, and other mild custom touches include the frenched tri-bar, blue dot headlights plus Mercury wagon taillights with custom fitted LED lighting. The front and rear bumpers are stock however smoothed, narrowed, and tucked tightly to the body. The brightwork was handled by the pros at Sherm's Custom Plating (Sacramento, CA). The accompanying bodywork fell to the gang at DR&Cs including Ryan James who sprayed on the RM Blue Onyx Pearl paint. The tasteful graphics were painted by Juice (Justin Cline) of Augusta, Kansas.
The stock frame was modified by DR&Cs, first outfitting it with a Fatman Fabrications (Charlotte, NC) Mustang II stub featuring Fatman 2-inch dropped spindles, Air Ride Technologies (Jasper, IN) ShockWaves, Wilwood (Camarillo, CA) 12-inch rotors, calipers, and master cylinder. The stock brake pedal assembly is modified. Steering is a power rack-and-pinion controlled by an ididit (Tecumseh, MI) tilt column. The rear suspension is centered on a Strange Engineering (Morton Grove, IL) 9-inch equipped rearend with 4.11 gears, limited-slip differential, Strange axles, and more Air Ride and Wilwood goodies that include a four-link with Shockwaves and a 12-inch disc brake package.
Propping up the chassis at the corners is a set of Billet Specialties (La Grange, IL) Vintec wheels measuring 18×7 (4-inch backspace) in front, while the rears are 20×10 (again 4-inch backspace), all wrapped with Toyo Proxes 4 rubber coming in at P225/45R18 and P275/40R20.
Surfacing as the powerplant is a vintage 1969 Ford 429-cubic-inch stump puller. Bob (brother) and Josh (nephew) Price handled the assembly and they made sure to include loads of power in the 10.5:1 compression V-8. A Comp Cams (Memphis, TN) stick along with Blue Thunder Auto (Palm Springs, CA) cylinder heads, intake, and valve covers are also employed. Resting on top of the intake is a pair of Edelbrock (Torrance, CA) Performer 500cfm EnduraShine carbs while sitting under a Billet Specialties air cleaner. Other engine compartment accessories include a polished Powermaster 105-amp alternator, an Edelbrock water pump, a single 16-inch electric fan working in conjunction with an AFCO (Boonville, IN) aluminum radiator, MSD (El Paso, TX) ignition and wires, a pair of modified Ford Powertrain Applications (Puyallup, WA) headers and MagnaFlow Performance (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) polished stainless exhaust, and a Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine system.
Now, Dick and Tim Devlin will tell you that maybe, just maybe it would have been easier and probably smarter to install a Ford engine of some other configuration rather than the 429. It took some shoehorning between the fenders and firewall mods to pull off the swap. Well, maybe but "we" wouldn't want to see it any other way! Gettin' the nearly 600 hp to the rearend falls to the Ford C6 built by Flip-O-Matic in Wichita while gear selection comes by way of a Lokar Performance (Knoxville, TN) shifter.
The interior is a blend of stock, not-so-stock, and custom applications. For instance, the stock dash was modified by moving it away from the firewall an inch and a half. Inside the original glovebox is now a panel that houses the Custom Autosound Secretaudio, which powers the Pioneer speakers. The gauges (tach, clock, fuel, oil, temp) appear to be stock and to some degree they are, but modernized via Classic Instruments custom touch. The custom center console houses switches for the headlights, Air Ride system, windows and several Hod Rod Air (Selma, TX) HVAC ducts. The '66 T-bird seating is a nice custom touch that works well with the '55 Ford; buckets in front and the bench/bucket combo in back are wrapped in Scottish leather. All the upholstery stitchery was accomplished by Scott Downey of Downey's Auto Upholstery of Wichita.
The best ideas are the ones we work at. Dick Price Jr. proved that with his '55 Ford Customline. Looks and performance–now that's a hot rod.

Fresh Fitness Cuisine
Fresh will be a retail store where health conscience & fitness minded people can run in and grab food for 3-4 days at a time, along with a bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers. This is not a 'weight loss' concept like Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers, instead it's a store that offers a 'Lifestyle' for people who are always on the go. If you're familiar with the Eatzi's concept, it's sort of like that but much smaller an more health conscience.
In addition to selling prepared meals, we will offer nutritionist consultations, boot camps, private cooking classes and '28 day challenges' for those customers who's goals are primarily weight loss. We're also going to have monthly farmers markets outside the front of the store :)
Fresh is targetting health conscience busy people who are always on the go...working professionals, single adults who either don't like to or don't have time to cook, and empty nesters who are tired of cooking every night. Our customers are both men & women between the ages of 24 - 45.
I need a logo to represent Fresh and everything that it is! The logo needs to stand out and make people take a second look. Be as creative as you can be. I like the word Fresh and Fitness Cuisine should just be the tag line....Fresh in big letters with fitness cuisine in small type underneath. (If you have a better name suggestion, I would love to hear your thoughts!)
To give you an idea of my taste, I like the http://www.fresh.com website and logo. I like http://www.cravecupcakes.com logo and website and I like the logo that was created out of 99designs.com for Sweet Lola's Yogurt Bar.
I am thinking it might be nice to have a little cart with a black and white awning or a bowl of fresh food or fruit with fresh on the bowl? Just my most recent thought.
I'm liking what you are all coming up with, but we haven't gotten there yet. What about a dish with the word fresh in it or on top of it?
What do you think of when you think of eating healthy? How would you portray my image?
The location will have a lofty feel with stained concrete floors and visible ceiling joists and air conditioning units. The walls will be white and there will be a large fabric sheath on the ceiling to lower the eye visually. I like clean simple lines.
Good luck designers!

The Overlooked Compound That Saves LivesMay 2010
By Julius Goepp, MD
N-acetyl Cysteine
For more than three decades, a safe, low-cost compound has provided millions of people relief from the coughing, wheezing, and thick phlegm associated with cold and flu. Of course, pharmaceutical companies long ago co-opted it for profit by incorporating it into various patented drugs.
The sad consequence is that most aging individuals have never heard of it. Even many doctors remain unaware of its potential role as a frontline defense against some of today's most deadly public health threats, including:
Fortunately, renewed clinical interest in its broad-spectrum benefits is yielding fresh data on promising interventions for this safe, effective compound.
In this article, you will discover the latest research on N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a readily available, inexpensive amino-acid derivative with four decades of scientific validation. You will learn of its role in restoring intracellular levels of one of the body's most powerful antioxidant defenses, glutathione (GSH). You will also find out how 600-1,800 mg of NAC daily may act as an effective intervention against a constellation of chronic, degenerative diseases, including impaired glucose control and cancer.
What you need to know
An Underutilized Intervention
NAC is a slightly modified version of the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine. When taken internally, NAC replenishes intracellular levels of the natural antioxidant glutathione (GSH), helping to restore cells' ability to fight damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS).
NAC has been used in conventional medicine for more than 30 years, primarily as a mucolytic (mucous-thinner) inhaled to manage conditions such as cystic fibrosis, in which mucous is abnormally thick and tenacious. While there is little in the scientific literature to support its use as an inhalant, NAC administered in this form remains highly popular among experienced pulmonary speclialists.4,5
NAC given intravenously or orally, on the other hand, saves lives every year as a treatment for acute poisoning with acetaminophen-containing pain-relieving drugs. Acetaminophen is sold as Tylenol® and combined with other drugs to create analgesic compounds, including Vicodin® and Percocet®.6 Overdoses with acetaminophen are the number one cause of acute liver failure in the United States.6-8 Too much acetaminophen overwhelms the body's glutathione reserves, which creates widespread and irreversible liver damage. NAC quickly restores protective levels of glutathione, averting catastrophe.7
Beyond this particular application, NAC has remained a relatively obscure and poorly understood compound until quite recently. Scientists all over the world are now beginning to understand just how vital glutathione metabolism really is, and how many disease states involve glutathione deficiency.9 According to Stanford University's Dr. Kondala R. Atkuri, "NAC has been used successfully to treat glutathione deficiency in a wide range of infections, genetic defects and metabolic disorders, including HIV infection and COPD. Over two-thirds of 46 placebo-controlled clinical trials with orally administered NAC have indicated beneficial effects of NAC measured either as trial endpoints or as general measures of improvement in quality of life and well-being of the patients."9
Multitargeted Regulation of Gene Expression
Much of NAC's beneficial activity derives from its capacity to modulate expression of genes for myriad signaling molecules in the inflammatory response.10-12 NAC inhibits expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines following exposure to bacterial cell components and infection with influenza A virus.13,14 NAC suppresses the "master signaling molecule" nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kB), which in turn prevents activation of multiple inflammatory mediators.15,16 NAC also regulates the gene for COX-2, the enzyme that produces pain- and inflammation-inducing prostaglandins in a wide array of chronic conditions.17
NAC's ability to replenish the intracellular glutathione supply and mitigate oxidative damage is a separate and equally powerful mechanism that affords protection against DNA damage and cancer development, even in smokers.18 NAC's inhibition of inflammatory cytokine production is another mechanism credited with cancer reduction in various body tissues.19
Gene expression modifications induced by NAC may also help reduce the acute oxidant-provoked inflammatory response following exercise, making vigorous activity safer and even more beneficial.20 Finally, obesity-associated insulin resistance, which arises from production of inflammatory signaling molecules in fat cells, can be sharply mitigated by NAC through regulation of their genes.21,22
The recent explosion of scientific evidence for NAC's multi-targeted health benefits is matched only by the willful ignorance of the mainstream medical community. Some even question its safety, despite nearly 40 years of use in a variety of clinical conditions, which have established the safety of this compound, even at very high doses and for long-term treatments.18 One study demonstrated the safety of 1,800 mg per day for 142 days, while another study demonstrated the safety of 2,800 mg per day for 3 months.23
Here is a selection of the most compelling information about NAC from the global scientific community—information that should convince even skeptical mainstream physicians.
Potent Influenza Protection
H5N1 influenza, or bird flu, is a lethal and potentially pandemic infection that produces the massive release of inflammatory mediators aptly called the "cytokine storm."24 Other more common forms of influenza also act by triggering massive cytokine releases that inflame vulnerable lung tissue. In early 2010, it was discovered that NAC offers dual protection against bird flu. It inhibits both virus replication and expression of pro-inflammatory molecules in cells infected with H5N1 virus, holding out the promise of effective protection in the event of a global avian flu pandemic.13
NAC has also proven effective against seasonal influenza and flu-like illnesses. In a large study of older adults who took 600 mg twice daily for 6 months, only 25% of those experienced influenza-like episodes, compared with 79% in the placebo group.25 Even those with flu symptoms experienced a significant reduction in illness severity and length of time confined to bed. All subjects tolerated the treatment well. The study's lead author, Dr. Silvio de Flora, commented that "Administration of N-acetyl cysteine during the winter, thus, appears to provide a significant attenuation of influenza and influenza-like episodes, especially in elderly high-risk individuals."25
Influenza is a complex disease with multiple targets, most notably inflicting damage to lung tissue through extreme oxidative stress and inducing genes for a large variety of inflammatory mediators.26,27 At the microscopic level the destruction is vivid. The influenza virus causes such intracellular turmoil that the term "cell boiling" has been used to describe the devastation.28 But pretreatment of cells with NAC significantly offsets these effects, reducing the oxidative and inflammatory burden within lung tissue through multiple mechanisms.26,28-30
NAC has now been shown to protect laboratory mice from lethal influenza infection, synergistically enhancing the effects of several common antiviral medications.31,32 And a nutrient mixture containing NAC, green tea extract, certain amino acids and micronutrients had powerful antiviral effects in cultured cells, rivaling those of prescription flu drugs such as amantadine and oseltamivir (Tamiflu®).33,34 The NAC-based mixture actually affected viral replication for a longer period than did the drugs.34
In the words of prolific medical theorist Mark F. McCarty, "The most foolproof way to promote survival in epidemics of potentially lethal influenza is to target… intracellular signaling pathways which promote viral propagation or lung inflammation."30 McCarty goes on to cite NAC's benefits as a multitargeted supplement with precisely those attributes. NAC at doses of 600 mg twice daily may significantly reduce the risk of a devastating bout of influenza.

The earthquake that destroyed so much of Haiti last January sent fissures down the side of the nondescript building that now houses the electoral council in Port-au-Prince. But the office still managed to function as the site where, by August 5th, thirty-four people had registered to run for President in the upcoming November election. Twelve days later, crowds gathered in front of the building, in the rain, to learn which of those contenders the council would officially approve for the ballot. But the council did not release the final list for three more days, at midnight. The council's members, it seemed, feared the reaction their decision might provoke.
Wyclef Jean, the hip-hop star, was one of those who had registered as a candidate, and he was the focus of much of the fuss. In the days before the council's decision, he claimed in e-mails that he had been the subject of death threats, and said that he was in hiding somewhere in Haiti. Jean often makes calls from undisclosed locations, and it turned out that in this case he was at his family's house in Lasserre, just outside Port-au-Prince. He'd been in and out of Haiti a lot in the preceding days: in to register as a candidate, then out to celebrate his wedding anniversary (at an undisclosed location), on to Belgium for a concert, then back to Port-au-Prince for a day or two, and then out again_,_ to Manhattan, for an interview with Rolling Stone. The day before the electoral council was to announce the final list of candidates, scandalous reports emerged about financial improprieties in Jean's charity. In Port-au-Prince again, under siege, Jean, who had portrayed himself as a generous émigré bringing the light of his compassion and worldly knowledge to Haiti, was implying that the race had gone very dark.
This election, to be held ten months after the earthquake, will be a critical one, and has been receiving an unprecedented amount of international attention. But it was beginning to sound like many of the Haitian elections I'd witnessed in the years I'd been writing about Haiti: too many candidates, most of them profoundly insignificant; too many one-man political parties, or groupuscules, as they are called; death threats; a candidate in hiding; some complicated conspiracy theories. These are all ingredients of the everyday political macédoine. To Haitians, political death threats are a joke. Politicians want to be on a death list; it means that you are serious. Jean, who has lived thirty-one of his forty years in New York and New Jersey, had proved himself a quick study in old-fashioned posturing and heroics.
The outgoing President, René Garcia Préval, knows how to handle political powder kegs like Jean's candidacy. He called Jean out from "hiding" into the Presidential offices behind the ruins of the National Palace, for a chat. Préval likes to talk, so it didn't mean much when Jean boasted that the meeting lasted for two hours. After asking Jean about the death threats, Préval offered to increase his security (which Préval's government had just downgraded). He then put Jean on the phone with Jude Célestin, who had been chosen as the candidate of Préval's party, Inite ("Unity"), after a lot of behind-the-scenes squabbling. He shook Jean's hand for the camera, and Jean posted the pictures to Twitter, writing, "Very positive. Smiles all the way." A seasoned Haitian politician would have been concerned by these Presidential gestures.
In the end, the electoral council ruled that Nel Ust Wyclef Jean, born in Croix-des-Bouquets and a current resident of Saddle River, New Jersey, could not be on the ballot, because he had not lived in Haiti for the previous five consecutive years, as is constitutionally required. Fourteen other contenders were also rejected. Jean, at first the obedient statesman, accepted the ruling with a Tweet about continuing his work with Haiti's youth. Thirty-six hours later, he had reconsidered, and he Tweeted that "our Lawyers are appealing the decision. We have met all the Requirements. . . . And the law must be respected." There is no legal precedent for any such appeal. After the electoral council announced that the ruling was final, Jean released a new song, which described Préval as Lucifer and went on, "I voted for you for President in 2006, why do you reject my candidacy today?"
The remaining nineteen candidates are seeking the Presidency of a country even more devastated than the one Préval took over when he was elected. Haiti was already the poorest country in the hemisphere, with rampant illiteracy, high infant mortality, low life expectancy. Now countless ghosts hover over Port-au-Prince and the rest of the western province. A conversation with a shop owner stops at the phrase "my daughter"; when he turns away and looks down at his merchandise, everyone knows what has been lost. Micha Gaillard, a politician and professor, died in the wreckage of the beautiful old Ministry of Justice, near the National Palace, also in ruins. (Thirty per cent of Haiti's public servants died in the earthquake.) According to friends, Gaillard was trapped under the rubble for more than three days, using his cell phone, until finally he told his family to go away and leave him.
Ten-year-old Tine, short for Albertine, lives with her grandmother Martinique Lemaire in a tent in a refugee camp next to the airport. She's jumping rope, and her braids flap. The earthquake knocked her family's house down on her mother and father. "Goudou-goudou kraze kay-la sou yo," she says. Goudou-goudou, an onomatopoetic rendering of the sound that people heard when the shaking began, is the Haitian Creole name for this earthquake. Wilgens Mehony, who is fourteen but looks about eight, works as an unpaid servant in his aunt's improvised shack in Solino, a hilly quartier populaire in Port-au-Prince. Wilgens fetches water in the morning, and at night he tidies the closet-sized shack. He takes his three cousins to school and picks them up; he has never been allowed to attend himself. His little brother, who was his only real friend, died in the aunt's former house, when goudou-goudou shook it to the ground.
Most of the bodies are gone now, decomposed beneath the rubble, or crushed in the initial shock, or hauled out by dump truck to a mass burial ground outside town, near the sea, or, occasionally, pulled from the wreckage by the family and given proper burial rites. Yet the smell of rot can still be fierce and nauseating. The catastrophe is believed to have taken as many as two hundred and thirty thousand lives.
A million people are homeless or semi-homeless, most of them in this city, which seems more populous than ever. Another 1.2 million are living in slapdash housing that families have erected on the sidewalks in front of their former homes or in temporary camps. Most of the three-quarters of a million people who fled the capital seeking food and shelter have returned, according to information from Digicel, the country's largest cell-phone company, which watches the demographic movements of its users. The returnees often come back with other family members from the countryside. The Port-au-Prince area now represents twenty-three per cent of the country's total population, or 2.3 million people. If drastic measures are not taken, by 2015 the city's population could double.
The reasons for the return are complicated. First of all, the Republic of Port-au-Prince, as it has long been called, is traditionally one of the only places where a Haitian might find a job. Life in dusty provincial towns and on the tiny subsistence farms in the countryside is bleak, and teen-agers often grow restless and desperate there. The only city that promises contact with the modern world is Port-au-Prince.
Now add the foreign-aid earthquake extravaganza. In normal times, some three thousand nongovernmental organizations are functioning in Haiti, most of them based in the capital, and hundreds more have arrived since the quake. Port-au-Prince is the center for almost all the money that the earthquake has brought in: hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of aid, which means tents and clothes and prenatal kits and health care and jobs. The city has communications and financial institutions, and the international airport. It's where the media come to broadcast donors' activities; the backdrop of the ruins is a powerful fund-raising tool.
So far, the one visible thing that the decimated Préval government has accomplished since the earthquake is to categorize the damage. The Ministry of Public Works, Transportation, and Communications, remarkably, has examined almost every house and place of business in the city, and stamped the front wall with a green, yellow, or red stencil with the initials of the ministry: "MTPTC." If your stencil is green, you can continue to live or work in the building. If it's yellow, you may enter, but the building is not intact. Red means that a building poses an immediate danger. Red stencils predominate.
The inaction everywhere else in the government is apparent. On a recent visit to the huge air-conditioned tent occupied by the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, I saw five employees working, although there were desks and computers for about eighty. One of the five was a security guard. The commission, chaired by former President Bill Clinton and the current Haitian Prime Minister, Jean-Max Bellerive, has held only two meetings.
Officials in the government and on the interim commission all talk about long-term decentralization that would move some of the population out of the capital, and about a federalized Haiti that would empower the provincial governments. No more Republic of Port-au-Prince, they say. The interim commission proposed $1.6 billion for recovery projects the week before last, at its second board meeting, and included agricultural spending. That money is among the spoils that the earthquake is bringing into Haiti, and it will be up to the next President to protect them and distribute them properly. But everything is on hold until the elections.
Charles (Samuel) Pierre is not feeling well. His house collapsed in the earthquake, and now he's living in a refugee camp called Touissant, in front of the wreckage of the National Palace, a formerly glorious white confection that has been sinking farther into its broken walls and foundations ever since the quake, when its three domes were pitched this way and that. Samuel, who is twenty-six, has a fever that he has diagnosed as malaria. From time to time, he breaks out in a sweat. He's wearing a sports tank top and jeans slung low on his hips, and he's standing around with a bunch of friends. None of them have any work, not even in what is known as "the informal sector," the frenzy of street-level capitalism that Haitians engage in to make a little change.
A statue of Haiti's founding revolutionary, Toussaint Louverture, presides over the blue tarp roofs and the corrugated-tin-and-cardboard walls of his descendants' houses, their tiny grocery stores, their two-pot restaurants and one-chair barbershops, their jury-rigged cell-phone-charging boutiques. Children take bucket baths at the martyr's feet. Toussaint, a slave and former stable boy, organized his countrymen and led the world's only successful slave revolt. He died in 1803, in a prison in the Jura Mountains, in France, a year before his revolution brought Haiti independence.
Samuel wants a new hero—someone like Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the first freely and fairly elected President of Haiti. Aristide, who entered office in 1991, was outspoken, fiery, a friend (so Samuel believes) of the people. If Aristide were here today, Samuel says, he would be President again. (Aristide was elected President twice and overthrown twice, the second time in 2004. He now lives as an exile in South Africa.) Samuel looks down on Préval, who is a President without a palace. Samuel cannot understand why Wyclef Jean would even want the job without the real estate. He wasn't for Jean, because, he said, Jean never did anything for Creole street rap. Samuel is a Creole rapper. Many Haitians, even his supporters, consider Jean an outsider.
Samuel leads a group of friends through a nearby camp to a patch of dirt and cement outside a tent to listen to music. Someone hands him a pinch of weed. Samuel lost five family members in the earthquake. "You can't be not sad," he says. "We're sleeping like animals in the mud, one on top of the other. We never even hear Préval's voice. He doesn't tell us anything." Since the earthquake, the President has barely spoken to the Haitian people. "La situation le dépasse," one of his former ministers says. "It's beyond him."
Samuel won't vote in the November election. "Why would I?" he asks. "It's all blòf. We don't see any politician we like. We don't even know if there will be elections. We want support, we want to work. I would work every day if I could."
Yet there is one candidate who, though his name hasn't been recognized in the international media, interests Samuel. That's forty-nine-year-old Michel (Sweet Micky) Martelly, another musician, and a friend of President Préval's. Like Jean, Martelly has lived in the U.S. for years at a time, but he has been living in Haiti for at least the past three years; he is perceived there as more of a Haitian, and, unlike Jean, he speaks Creole like a Haitian. Sweet Micky sings konpa, the Afro-Caribbean popular music that has long been the favored style of Haitian musicians. Jean himself has always acknowledged Sweet Micky's popularity in Haiti, and Sweet Micky is featured on one of his disks, "The Carnival": you hear Jean's voice saying, as he introduces a song, "Surprise! It's Sweet Micky, y'all."
At the end of our conversation, Samuel tells me, "Everything is calm now. Jwèt poko kòmanse"—"The game hasn't yet begun." He means that the candidates haven't started making the traditional payments to their factions in the shantytowns (and now the camps, too, in all likelihood), to stir up trouble and influence the vote. People look forward to this injection of funds.
Wyclef Jean's candidacy, though flawed, filled a void in Haitian politics. Sweet Micky is the only remaining candidate who can potentially even approximate his appeal. The others offer little to attract younger voters (people under twenty-four represent sixty per cent of Haiti's population), or those who are simply sick of politics. A quick look at the remaining plausible candidates shows why. The wife of Leslie Manigat, a lifelong Presidential candidate who actually served as President for four and a half months, is one of the best-known contenders. Another is a former government minister, a Cornell-educated urban planner who is directing the national reconstruction projects, and has been politically active for decades. A former senator who was Aristide's final Prime Minister and spent two years in prison, without trial, after Aristide was overthrown in 2004, is well known. Another, Jude Célestin, is the director and founder of the government's construction agency, which has become more visible since the earthquake. As the candidate of Préval's party, Célestin has a political infrastructure behind him. His Web site, though, is still under construction.
Sweet Micky Martelly is far more acceptable to the political establishment than the arriviste Jean, and his music is more popular in the countryside than Jean's urban, Anglo hip-hop could ever be. Perhaps some older voters who like the music will forgive Martelly for having worn miniskirts, diapers, and kilts onstage, and make allowances for his onstage rum-swilling and swearing. The political class in Haiti, though, likes predictability. What it can predict, it can control. As Jean said to me on the phone, after his candidacy was dismissed, "The country of Haiti is being operated by a mafia. They can't stand it if their rule is disputed, or if there is a situation where they're not knowing everything, or not being able to control a candidate."
If you had to find a Haitian as different from René Préval as a Haitian could be, it would be Sweet Micky. He has the kind of outsized personality that Haitians are used to seeing in their Presidents—Aristide and François (Papa Doc) Duvalier, who ruled from 1957 through 1971, come to mind. Sixteen years ago, Martelly was already mockingly proclaiming himself "prezidan." He has been known to finish up a set by saying, "My fellow-Haitians, this has been your President, speaking from the National Palace." As a candidate, he has charm, humor, visibility, an aura of youth, even grandeur. He's a big, imposing man with flickering, intelligent eyes and a natural relaxed eloquence.
Préval, who is sixty-six, is an agronomist by training and used to run a bakery. His attachment to his afternoon siesta is the subject of many jokes. He had a diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2001, although his health right now seems fine. Others consistently underestimate him, and that is the source of his greatest strength. "President Prevail," Jean called him in an e-mail to me, a spelling auto-correction that seemed just right.
I drove past the markets of Frère on a hot afternoon to see a cockfight at one of the pitches that are still standing. Frère is now a part of the conurbation of Port-au-Prince; not long ago, it was a country town. Cockfights are another way Haitians choose winners. Aristide's symbol on the ballot (for those voters who could not read) was a fighting rooster, or kok kalite.
The pitch in Frère is steep and circular, and the master of the fight was standing watch at the entryway. The owners of the two roosters that were to do battle shoved their kok kalite into the care of handlers, who sprayed them with antiseptic and checked them to make sure that no one had secreted a razor in a talon.
A bell rang, and Nene and Benjamin went beak to beak, feathers flying, as money changed hands in the audience and men shouted. The bets are made fast, during the action, and no one but the bet-taker and the bettor knows who bet how much on which bird. There is no written record as the battle progresses, and yet the whole cockfight, for all its excitement and drama, is about making money.
Nene, a vivid, reddish rooster, seemed to be the frontrunner, but then blood began gushing from above his left eye, and Benjamin, a nondescript gray, took the lead. With each true peck, the men in the audience shouted "Ha!" in an emphatic tone, and placed new bets. There seemed to be no loyalty. The roosters jumped and flapped and, when wounded, tried to avoid the attacker. The mad betting continued. But Benjamin's right leg wasn't working. He hid his head under Nene's wing. Men were leaning out over the edge of the pitch, rubbing their hands as if rolling dice, their faces drawn into grimaces of excitement and worry. They shouted and jumped to their feet and yelled for the bet-taker. Nene won, and the money was handed out.
Like the electoral process, a cockfight begins with elaborate protocol and propriety. Mysterious things happen in the preparation, though—you can't be sure who might be throwing the fight. And in the end the most important thing is where the money goes.
Although Samuel thinks Toussaintis no longer relevant, the most basic question raised by Toussaint's revolution has yet to be resolved. Who will run the republic: a small group of wealthy landholders and businessmen or the great masses? At the end of the twentieth century, as democracies developed in Latin America, the question became more pressing. For two decades, Préval has presided at the crossroads of that debate.
It's often said about Haiti that Toussaint's victory over the French gave the Haitian slaves freedom and control over their destiny. But, as Gary Victor, a Haitian satirist and commentator, told me one afternoon at a Port-au-Prince restaurant, the biggest problem is that "everything that people say about Haitian history is mythology." He went on, "Who built Haiti after independence? The landed classes, who constructed this country in the manner of the French. They imposed a colonial apartheid system in which the masses were animals, less than men. It's just like that today."
Aristide, with Préval as his Prime Minister, was supposed to give the masses their first opportunity to wield real political power. But in 1991 he was overthrown, and when he was returned to power, in 1994, he did not rename Préval. It looked as if Préval would be a mere footnote in the long political saga, until Aristide endorsed him for President, in 1996, and he won by a huge margin. When I visited Préval in the National Palace during that period, he was still calling Aristide "President," and Aristide was trying to run the show, de facto, from his mansion in the town of Tabarre. In 2001, Aristide succeeded Préval; the Presidency was like a baton in a long relay race the two men were running.
Even after two hundred years of Haitian dispossession, Aristide's attempts during his final administration to obtain power for his constituencies were too abrupt, and sometimes too violent, to succeed. In March of 2004, he was sent into exile. Two years later, with the United Nations Mission for Stabilization of Haiti, or MINUSTAH, keeping the peace, Préval won the Presidency for the second time. By then, he and Aristide were rivals, and he had learned that, to retain power, he would have to satisfy as much as possible the demands of the ruling class while satisfying to the extent possible the needs of the masses.
But the earthquake, which destroyed so many of the small attainments of Haiti's poor, also smashed the balance of this equation. The devastation brought the most urgent needs of the masses to international attention. Préval has so far kept a fairly tight lid on unrest in Port-au-Prince; he has been helped by the presence of eleven thousand uniformed, blue-helmeted soldiers from MINUSTAH. This calm is one reason that Haiti's ruling class, once so eager for Aristide's departure, does not want to see Préval leave.
Edmond Mulet, a Guatemalan, directs MINUSTAH. He is Haiti's de-facto military commander, running—as many Haitians see it—the most recent foreign occupation. Mulet is one of the latest "white kings" of Haiti. The most infamous of these was Faustin Wirkus, who was assigned to pacify a Haitian island during the 1915-34 American occupation. Wirkus called himself the white king of Haiti, after island leaders made him King Faustin II, in 1927. He wore a two-foot crown and ruled until the Haitian government pushed him out, two years later. Franklin Roosevelt, who helped draft an early Haitian constitution, is considered a different kind of white king. So are Sean Penn, who presides over a refugee camp that houses more than fifty thousand people; Bill Clinton, the U.N.'s Special Envoy to Haiti, as well as the co-chairman of the recovery commission; and Paul Farmer, the doctor who has worked in Haiti for decades, and who recently broke ground in the countryside for Haiti's first teaching hospital.
Mulet's power is undeniable. It's his second tour of duty; MINUSTAH has been in Haiti since the second coup d'état against Aristide, when the country was thrown into turmoil. This time, Mulet came in to replace Hédi Annabi, who, along with a hundred and two colleagues, perished when MINUSTAH headquarters collapsed during the earthquake.
MINUSTAH will help conduct the elections––no easy chore. In the political disorder exacerbated by the earthquake, Haitian political factions have naturally seen new opportunities. Some in Préval's government called for an emergency extension of the President's mandate; among the opposition, some called for Préval to stand down and for a "government of national security" to be installed. Others clamored for the dissolution of what they saw as Préval's hand-picked electoral council. "I had to step in and say, 'Wait a minute,' " Mulet told me, putting up a hand as a stop sign. " 'You have a constitution.' "
Although most opposition parties eventually agreed to participate in the elections, some may end up boycotting the vote. The electoral council, which is broadly seen as President Préval's tool for controlling the process, has for a second time effectively barred Aristide's Lavalas Party from participating, citing various technicalities. Aristide, from exile in Pretoria, has labelled the election a "selection."
MINUSTAH has not tried to force Préval's hand. "This is what I told the electoral council," Mulet said. "I said, 'I trust you. There is no reason to believe you cannot organize legitimate elections. You must rise to meet the circumstances. The international community trusts you.' " He raised his eyebrows.
The day before Jean's rejection was announced, MINUSTAH arrested sixty-eight people in the shantytown where he was most beloved, in what MINUSTAH officials called a standard operation. Préval is always trying to manage the quartiers populaires. In a tent hall behind the collapsed palace, government officials meet frequently with leaders of the various popular movements and neighborhood groups from around the capital and from other towns. Young organizers from the refugee camps and shantytowns sit in their best clothes on gold-upholstered chairs salvaged from the ballrooms of the old palace, airing grievances and expressing needs. Other government officials travel to the far reaches of the country to try to bring fractious peasant movements into the fold, and help the rural poor begin to participate in organized political life. Préval, while keeping up his connection to the business sector, is also building constituencies for a centrist government, and networks for this and future campaigns.
Even though Haiti has had its share of abortive elections, nothing can stop the upcoming vote––not the wild-card candidacies of star musicians, not the arguable legitimacy of the electoral council, not the terrible misery of the capital's population. "Unless we have another earthquake, the political process will go ahead." Mulet adjusted his tie. "And then I go back to New York."
In Peguyville, a suburb on a hillside above Port-au-Prince, Jean-Claude Bajeux, a political figure of the older generation, is holding court. Bajeux, a distinguished academic and a Minister of Culture under Aristide, is having coffee and serving cocktails to a half-dozen or so guests who have assembled on the terrace. It's late afternoon, and a brisk wind that threatens rain is toying with the tops of the trees on Bajeux's lush property. The air is light. A sunlit sky appears and disappears behind the veil of the treetops.
Bajeux is seventy-eight, a former priest who led the human-rights movement in Haiti during the bloody reign of Papa Doc, in the nineteen-sixties. He was exiled repeatedly, and the Tontons Macoute carried off two of his brothers, his two sisters, and his mother in the middle of the night. All were executed. Bajeux points to a copy of Jared Diamond's book "Collapse," about how civilizations come to an end.
"Read this," he tells his guests. "Read this, and think of Haiti." He makes the French sound that starts as a tsk and ends with a quick exhalation through the mouth. "They've lost all sense of the state," he says of the Haitian government. "The constitution annoys Préval." Since April, Préval has been governing under emergency law. "Well, of course, that's what constitutions do to Presidents." Bajeux shakes his head.
"You know, when Préval's father died," one of the guests says, "René received visitors, and someone came at two in the afternoon. René was President at the time. And he was having a siesta when this person arrived. And then René finally emerged, and sat down to chat with his friend, and his wife came out and sat on his lap. And this is what René said. He said, 'When I'm not President anymore, what I'd like to do is put up a little market stall and sell cigarettes.' And what I say is, 'Good, good! Go sell cigarettes!' "
Another friend arrives, and the guests all start talking about people they know, and people they've heard of, and discuss how much each is stealing, or how much they're making at MINUSTAH or U.S.A.I.D., or CARE, or Save the Children. "Here it's like the gold rush," Bajeux says. The guests go on talking: What lies this one is telling about the reconstruction program. Who's getting paid off for land where new houses are to be built—and how they are sucking the life out of the international donors, their utter lack of shame and patriotism. And the donors! Another guest reminds the group of a column that appeared in the Nouvelliste a few years ago, entitled "Every Haitian Has His Own Foreigner Reserved for Himself." "Yes, yes," Bajeux says. "It's so true. And we're going to build a city in the air, because no one will let us build on the ground without paying predator prices. We'll build in the air! It will be a city like, you know, like that artist, the one—" He gropes for the name, and someone in the group, spitting an olive pit into his hand, says, "Ah, you mean Préfète Duffaut, Jean-Claude." And that's who Bajeux means. Duffaut, who is eighty-seven, paints bright landscapes filled with microscopic Haitians living in utopian cities that extend like cartoon bubbles from the sea to the land and on up into thin air.
The old-school Haiti of Bajeux is Préval's Haiti, too, in spite of its disdain for him. In order to visit Préval, I passed through a reception tent next to a wall of rubble in back of the ruined palace. As I was escorted over muddy grounds to his offices in a building behind the palace, a palace peacock fanned out its tail. A brass band in a corner was practicing "The Star-Spangled Banner." It sounded like a New Orleans funeral march.
Préval's beard is grayer than it was when I saw him several years ago. As we sat and talked in an air-conditioned salon, functionaries drifted through.
You cannot imagine an outsider like Wyclef Jean ever saying that he'd like to run a small cigarette stall in some Haitian market. You can't picture someone from _lot bo dlo—_the other side of the water, or abroad—scrawling in my notebook the institutional affiliations of the members of the electoral council. Préval took me by the wrist, as Haitians do, and barged into a kitchen-cabinet meeting. As the assembled officials looked on, astonished, he said, "Excuse me," and then used a tray of porcelain espresso cups to demonstrate how difficult it is to rebuild a fallen neighborhood. "These houses have the red 'MTPTC' stencil," Préval said, and turned a cup from each row on its side, so that the golden rims gleamed up at us. He was explaining why the reconstruction projects were taking so long: "You see? Those houses are down, but their neighbors may be green." He points to the cups that are still standing in the aftermath of the sudden Presidential quake. "We can't just raze the whole neighborhood. These are difficult questions." Among the people at the meeting was Jude Célestin, Préval's preferred candidate. Célestin watched the President without emotion.
Préval talked movingly about the wreckage he saw on a tour of the city on the night of the earthquake. When he got home to his own ruined house, his wife said, "You must make a declaration." He went on, "And I said, 'What am I going to say?' My pain was so great that I couldn't speak. It would have been ridiculously inadequate to speak to people in such pain. I thought it was better to talk to ambassadors, and to figure out how to get help, rather than to go out with the television behind me and, you know, take a stroll to show myself off as a sensitive man, and be photographed in front of children and the dead."
During the very days when Wyclef Jean and so many others were making heroes of themselves on CNN and YouTube, the President of the country was invisible. "I accept the criticism," Préval said. "I did not have the courage to present myself as a politician. Maybe I was too weak." The government has almost nothing to show for all the work that's been done and the money that's come in since the earthquake. When I talked to the President, he emphasized stability, and pre-earthquake achievements: roads and bridges built, an upward bump in the G.D.P.
And yet Préval is arguably the most successful President in Haitian history, the only one to be fairly elected to office twice and to serve out his two constitutionally mandated five-year terms. Having achieved that, he may be in a position to hand over power peacefully to the next elected President. As Wyclef Jean wrote to me in an e-mail just before he was disqualified, Préval told him that he "wants the election to be Fear n Just." Nevertheless, in Port-au-Prince, a city of not always inaccurate rumors, there is talk that Préval's fondest wish is to serve in the next government as Prime Minister. Some say that he has made special arrangements with Sweet Micky, or with Célestin, as well as with members of the business élite. In this scenario, if Préval's party wins a majority in the legislature, the winner of the election could be compelled to appoint him Prime Minister, a post that, according to the Haitian constitution, has the potential to be more powerful than the Presidency. So chances are no cigarette stall, yet. ♦
