I especially like Neutrogena, Aussie, and John Frieda's "Frizz-Ease." I'm surprised Frederic Fekkai deep conditioners are listed.

I tried Tigi Dumb blonde but didn't like it much. I do like the Garnier products better.

Ten years ago, bell hooks astonished readers with Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom. Now comes Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope – a powerful, visionary work that will enrich our teaching and our lives. Combining critical thinking about education with autobiographical narratives, hooks invites readers to extend the discourse of race, gender, class and nationality beyond the classroom into everyday situations of learning. bell hooks writes candidly about her own experiences. Teaching, she explains, can happen anywhere, any time – not just in college classrooms but in churches, in bookstores, in homes where people get together to share ideas that affect their daily lives.
In Teaching Community bell hooks seeks to theorize from the place of the positive, looking at what works. Writing about struggles to end racism and white supremacy, she makes the useful point that "No one is born a racist. Everyone makes a choice." Teaching Community tells us how we can choose to end racism and create a beloved community. hooks looks at many issues-among them, spirituality in the classroom, white people looking to end racism, and erotic relationships between professors and students. Spirit, struggle, service, love, the ideals of shared knowledge and shared learning – these values motivate progressive social change.
Teachers of vision know that democratic education can never be confined to a classroom. Teaching – so often undervalued in our society — can be a joyous and inclusive activity. bell hooks shows the way. "When teachers teach with love, combining care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust, we are often able to enter the classroom and go straight to the heart of the matter, which is knowing what to do on any given day to create the best climate for learning."

Set Dashboard to Transparently Hover Over the Desktop in Mac OS X
Don't use Dashboard often or maybe you don't like Dashboard much in Mac OS X? It's a great feature but it's often underutilized, and if changing Dashboards background wallpaper wasn't sufficient enough for you to start using it again, you can always return Dashboard behavior to the standard transparent hovering state that existed prior to OS X 10.7 (and 10.8 or 10.9 for that matter). This overlay ability makes the feature a lot more useful to many users since it's quickly accessed and comes and goes on the screen when needed.
The end result of this change pulls Dashboard widgets out of their own dedicated Space in Mission Control, and instead shows widgets directly over the desktop and applications, just like it did in earlier versions of Mac OS X.
How to Set Dashboard as a Widget Overlay on Mac
Letting Dashboard widgets overlay on the Mac OS X screen is a very quick settings change to make, though it's not labeled that well. Here's what you'll want to do:
- Open System Preferences from the Apple menu
- Click on "Mission Control"
- Next to "Dashboard" choose "As Overlay", or in prior versions of Mac OS uncheck "Show Dashboard as a space"
Now you'll have to hit the good old F12 button to show the Dashboard instead of swiping left to the containing space with your trackpad. Note that some Mac keyboards may require the use of FN+F12 to activate the Dashboard, or you can just use the Keyboard control panel to set or customize a unique keystroke or Function key combo to summon the Dashboard.
This adjustment is also a great change for users who don't have a trackpad or Magic Mouse, where swiping and gestures have no roll in their workflow anyway.
So what does the difference look like? Well, if you already forgot what Dashboard was like in Mac OS X 10.6, this is what it will look like. The difference is that widgets hover over the active screen with a transparent layer:
Compare that to the new default Dashboard behavior starting with OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and continuing through beyond OS X Mavericks, where the Dashboard is a dedicated Space within Mission Control, interspersed with full-screen apps and virtual desktops:
What you use is going to be a matter of preference, but for many users having the Dashboard overlay the active desktop is a much more convenient solution.

Young Communist League
The Young Communist League (YCL) was or is the name used for a radical organization of young people of various Communist parties around the world such as the Young Communist League in Britain, the Young Communist League, USA and the Young Communist League in Canada.
In the Soviet Union the youth organization under control of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was known as the Komsomol.
The corresponding youth organization in China is usually translated as Communist Youth League.
United States
On October 17, 1943, a special convention of the Young Communist League was held at Mecca Temple, New York City. The name of the organization was changed to American Youth for Democracy. In the issue of the Communist for September, 1943, the president of the Young Communist League called for a change of the name of the group in order to enable the organization to function more efficiently for the duration of the war.
Claudia Jones was the editor of the official magazine of the American Youth for Democracy, Spotlight. She was formerly an associate editor of the official organ of the Young Communist League, Weekly Review. She was a member of the National Council of the Young Communist League.
The following (Spotlight, April, 1944) were national sponsors of American Youth for Democracy:
- Henry Armstrong
- Charlotte Hawkins Brown
- John M. Coffee
- Frank Marshall Davis
- Howard Fast
- A. Eustace Haydon
- William H. Holly
- Langston Hughes
- John Howard Lawson
- Kirtley F. Mather
- H. P. Marley
- F. Mathiessen
- Adam Clayton Powell,Jr.
- Minerva Pius
- Charles S. Seely
- William B.Spofford
- D. J. Stroik
- William Jay Schieffelin
- Teddy Wilson
- Mary E. Woolley
- Mary McLeod Bethune
Subsidiary Communist fronts created by American Youth for Democracy, include Sweethearts of Service Men, Friends of the Campus, and World Federation of Democratic Youth.
In 1944 the Dies Committee cited the American Youth for Democracy as the new name under which the Young Communist League operated. It was again cited by the Committee in 1947 as a front formed for the purpose of exploiting to the advantage of a foreign power the idealism, inexperience, and craving to join which is characteristic of American college youth. Its "high sounding slogans" cover "a determined effort to disaffect our youth and to turn them against religion, the American home, against the college authorities, and against the American Government itself." Truman Attorney General Tom Clark cited the American Youth for Democracy as subversive and Communist. It was redesignated on April 27, 1953 pursuant to Executive Order No. 10450.[1]
Barack Obama
According to the Report to the National Committee meeting of the Communist Party, November 20, 2004,
" | In Chicago YCL members were very active in the Youth for Obama efforts and one member worked with the United States Student Association and his student government to register over 1,000 new voters.[2] | " |

A Slocan Valley bear biologist wants a logging company to spare a tree that he says shows all the signs of being a bear den. He wants them to leave a strip in their cutblock and move the planned location of a road.
But Wayne McCrory says the company, Yucwmenlúcwu (Caretakers of the Land), owned by the Splatsin First Nation located near Enderby, has refused to move the road.
The cutblock is located in the Valhalla Range just north of Valhalla Park and Slocan Lake.
"I was hoping that they would be more amenable to this," McCrory told the Star, "especially when they [initially] phoned me asking for input."
He said the company told him they would try to save the den tree but might have to "stub" it to make it safe by WorkSafe BC rules. Then they would cap it so a bear might be able to use it later.
McCrory said it may be only one tree, but it's symbolic. Den trees only exist in old growth and he estimates that 80 per cent of the old growth forest in the Slocan Valley has been logged.
"This is symbolic of what is wrong with our resource management policies today when you don't protect high biodiversity areas like this," he said. "Whether you stand up for one tree or many … or you stand up for one grizzly that was wrongly killed or the whole population, it is the same principle."
Yucwmenlúcwu has not returned the Star's calls or emails requesting comment.
McCrory was instrumental in pushing for the 2016 Great Bear Rainforest legislation that includes a provision that bear dens should be surrounded by a 30-metre buffer and no road construction.
What he's recommending here is "leave a strip 40 metres wide and 200 meters long, not a very big area. It mostly means moving the road. Having built lots of mining company roads, I don't see the problem. It is not like we are asking them not to log or not to salvage, it is just moving things a bit to accommodate."
He said he's been tracking and attempting to protect grizzly bear dens and old-growth black bear dens for the past 40 years and is now trying to get legislation that would apply outside of protected areas.
"What I am talking about is not an economic threat to logging companies per se, it is just encompassing new knowledge and new information into more ecosystem-friendly logging, as has happened on the coast."

Well, get ready for it – April Fools' 2015 has already started. Google is in on the act as usual, with a Pac-Man version of Google Maps that went live moments ago. Samsung is playing as well today, with the introduction of the Galaxy BLADE edge.
We'll try to keep track of some of the best as we see them.
You can play Pac-Man on Google Maps by visiting Google Maps on the web and then clicking the Pac-Man icon in the bottom left corner.
Pac-Man is also on Google Maps for Android and iOS. You should be able to play in the newest version of Google Maps, but you have to search for locations that you might think Pac-Man would be. Google offers up a whole guide to Pac-Man in Google Maps here. They also provide clues on where you can find him (just go search for "Arc de Triomphe" and you'll be able to play). Also, more info at the Google Maps blog.
As for the Samsung Galaxy BLADE edge, you are looking at a clear, glass-like phone with a foldable handle, is ergonomic and ceramic, has a diamond edge, is waterproof (unlike the S6 and S6 Edge), and even has a thermometer stylus!
Amazon has introduced the "Dash Button" which are 1-click buttons to help you instantly and directly order the things you need the most…from Amazon Prime. Major news outlets think this is actual real. I still think it's a joke. Amazon remains saying it's a real thing!
Google unveiled the Google Panda at a fake press event in Japan.

How To Turn on your Guy?
You might think that a low-cut top matched with a breathy voice and lick of the lips is enough to send a man into the stratosphere of arousal (and you'd usually be right), but men can be just as enigmatic as women in matters of sensual.
Consider the fact that men are just as likely to be attracted to long, shapely legs as they are a woman with a considerable wingspan, according to research from the University of New South Wales which surveyed men watching videos of women, and then rating their attractiveness.Long-armed ladies got the highest ratings, while lengthy-legged girls didn't even rate in the final figures.
So what's the reason? One theory posits that long arms give a woman a slimmer appearance, and another is that men want a partner who will come in very handy on a trip to the apple orchard.
But before you start Googling 'Arm-extension treatment', check out the other unexpected ways a man can be turned on;
A good jolt to his fight-or-flight reaction is sometime just the thing to get a man in the mood. Don't believe us? Then take it from Roger Sterling of AMC's Mad Men, in one famous scene from a TV show that's full of them;
More than just a vehicle for scripted drama, there's hard science behind the connection between fear and arousal from the University of British Columbia who conducted a study putting male volunteers into situations involving varying amounts of risk. The ones who faced more fear were more graphic in their answers on a sex survey – delivered by a beautiful assistant – following the event.
Seeing Red
Perhaps opt for the red dress on your next date-night out; while the color crimson is synonymous in the culture at large with passion, hearts, romance and all things Valentine's, that thinking comes from commonly-cited evolutionary psychology that goes towards explaining men's reaction to the hue; prior to ovulation, female humans and primates got red in the face, signaling to males when they're at their most fertile.
The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published a 2008 study from the University of Rochester that had men rate the attractiveness of a number of pictures of women wearing clothes of all colors.
The highest-rated? You guessed it – women wearing red. Meanwhile, different colored clothes – worn by the exact same women – scored much lower.
Hot Doppelgangers
Everybody has a 'type', and some of these types are universally held as attractive, but a man's own facial appearance has some sway on what he finds fetching in a woman.
Some men fall for women whose facial features are similar to their own, and this is based on the theory of homogamy – that we reproduce with people who share similarities to us in some way, bringing into turmoil the whole 'opposites attract' thing we hear so often.
Get Your Giggle On
Actually don't just get your giggle on – go for a full-on guffaw and chuck in a chortle while you're at it.
According to Maria Sophocles, MD and assistant professor at the University of Basel, a man's subconscious equates your laughter with the moans they might hear during sex. So is this why 'a sense of humor' is listed so high on the traits of men who are prime partner material?
Good Scents
Some say that arousing a man is as easy as pie, and we agree – as long as that pie is pumpkin.
Among more than 23 fragrances, the Smell and Taste Research Center in Chicago founds that the smell of pumpkin pie mixed with lavender increased penile blood flow the most.
Are you thinking what we're thinking? Thanksgiving will never be the same again.
Finally, one of his biggest turn-ons you've perhaps not realized until now is your sex toys; we'd be hard-pressed to find any man that doesn't appreciate knowing that he's with a woman who knows how to take her pleasure.
And considering that men are most aroused by what they can see, bringing your toys into the bedroom for a new kind of playtime will be a win-win kind of situation – if there's a better kind than that, we're all ears!

- Flatten all layers
- Cool!
- In the Layer panel you can expand that layer to show all of the objects that live inside of it
- Groups are containers so they are expandable
- If you aggressively utilize Groups for all of you Objects then even if you did place everything in one layer you can easily pull out group(s) of objects into a new layer.
- For each layer you choose a color of the bounding box for when you select something in that layer
- This helps you make sense of making selections in a multi-layer document
- When you make selections in one layer a little filled square appears on the right side of the layer. If you drag that box into a another layer that will move those objects into that layer.

Mystery Worshipper: Cantate Domino
St George's
Location: Hanover Square, London
Date of visit: Sunday, 7 August 2011, 11:00am
The building
St George's is a dignified Georgian building, put up between 1721 and 1725 with money from the 50 New Churches Act of 1711. The architect was John James, the commissioner to the 50 New Churches. It has a Corinthian portico, which opens to an interior with dark wood pews and stalls, bright light through clear glass and light from many brass chandeliers. In the west gallery is an empty organ case – currently the parish is fundraising for a new instrument. The interior is surrounded by galleries in typical Georgian fashion.
The church
St George's is primarily famous as having been George Frederic Handel's local church (he lived nearby in Brook Street, where his house is now a museum). The church maintains a superb musical tradition, of which I am sure Handel would approve. Given its location in Mayfair, St George's hosts many society weddings and in the past Disraeli, Lady Hamilton and Shelley were all married here. It also has special connections to the United States of America, as the American embassy is nearby and Teddy Roosevelt was married here. To this day, many Americans in London choose St George's as the venue for their weddings.
The neighborhood
St George's is the local church for Mayfair and the
neighbourhood is as upmarket as one would expect for this locale.
Claridges, the famous five star hotel, is nearby, as are Bond Street
and Oxford Circus, and many designer shops. St George's is currently
prominent in the news for the lead the parish and its clergy are taking
in protesting against the City of Westminster Council's plans to raise
parking rates on Sundays, arguing that this will penalise churchgoers.
The cast
The rector (the Revd Roderick Leece), the professional choir of mixed voices, the organist Simon Williams, two acolytes, and a verger in a black robe and carrying a silver wand.
What was the name of the service?
Sung EucharistHow full was the building?
There were about 30 people present in a large church. I suspect the congregation were diminished by the summer holidays.
Did anyone welcome you personally?
The rector approached me to ask if I was there to sing in the choir. I hastened to assure him that my singing would not enhance the day's music.
Was your pew comfortable?
The large, carved Georgian pew was quite comfortable.
How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?
It was very quiet, not least as there were so few people. Then the
organist played some very lively Bach.
What were the exact opening words of the service?
"The Lord be with you."
What books did the congregation use during the service?
A printed order of service, using the parlance of the Book of Common Prayer but with the service re-organised; for instance, the Gloria was at the start, not the end, and we did not recite the doxology.
What musical instruments were played?
St George's is awaiting its new American pipe organ, so a perfectly
satisfactory electronic instrument was played.
Did anything distract you?
Around the galleries are lists of past wardens since the 18th century, and it was fascinating to see how many great names, including earls, marquises, baronets and generals, have filled this post. Many figures of political significance from the 18th century appeared in the lists.
Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?
Moderately high – there was no incense, but the priest wore a
chasuble and was assisted by two acolytes. The gospel was read and not
chanted, but the celebrant faced east.
Exactly how long was the sermon?
11 minutes.
On a scale of 1-10, how good was the preacher?
5 – The rector's style made for clear delivery with no quirks.
In a nutshell, what was the sermon about?
The discourse was rather muddled, but in general the rector was exhorting us to live up to the promise of the Transfiguration. In truth, I struggled to follow the point.
Which part of the service was like being in heaven?
The exquisite music. The voluntary was the Chaconne in F by Pachelbel, the anthem was by Tallis, and the mass setting was by Palestrina. This music surely is performed in heaven.
And which part was like being in... er... the other place?
The excellent choir reminded me how execrable the choir is in my home
church. I wanted to take them home with me.
What happened when you hung around after the service looking lost?
The rector gave me a hearty handshake and we chatted about the music, of which he was clearly (and justifiably) proud.
How would you describe the after-service coffee?
None was on offer, so I found a nearby pub and a gin and tonic.
How would you feel about making another visit (where 10 = ecstatic, 0 = terminal)?
10 – This is exactly my kind of church; reverent worship and superb traditional music.
Did the service make you feel glad to be a Christian?
Absolutely. This was dignified but meaningful worship.
What one thing will you remember about all this in seven days' time ?
Superb music, in Handel's own church.

Some lucky retirees split their time between two different states. Legally, you do not need separate estate planning documents for each state, but it may make sense from a practical perspective.
The Constitution of the United States requires that states give "full faith and credit" to the laws of other states. This means that your will, trust, durable power of attorney, and health care proxy executed in Massachusetts (just to pick one state) should be honored in New Hampshire, Florida, and every other state. That's the law.
The practical realities, however, are not the same as the legal requirements. While you should not need a separate will or trust for a second state, your power of attorney and health care proxy may be a different story. Financial and health care institutions are used to the documents used in their states and may refuse to honor out-of-state documents. In the case of health care proxies, other states may use different terms for the document, such as "durable power of attorney for health care" or "advance directive." (And the people reviewing your power of attorney or health care proxy may not be well versed in constitutional law.)
In the absence of a durable power of attorney or health care proxy, family members often must resort to going to court to be appointed guardian or conservator. This causes delay and expensive and unnecessary legal fees. So, even though it should not be necessary, if you do spend a good part of the year out-of-state, executing a local health care directive and durable power of attorney may be a good idea. Make sure that you appoint the same people you appointed on your other estate planning documents, so that there's no confusion about who should act for you when the time comes.

Wool felt's a great fabric to have on hand for hand embroidery projects. I use it underneath goldwork, for example, and it can also be used to pad regular stitching and make it sit up a bit off the fabric. I also like to make things out of it, like needlebooks that are covered to bursting with embroidery.
But you know what I like it best for? I like it for kids' embroidery projects. It's so much easier to teach a child to embroider on felt than it is on other fabric. They don't need a hoop, heavier threads work well and look great on felt, and kids really seem to like the look and the feel of the stuff.
So, I got wool felt. Lots of it. I ordered it from Weir Dolls and Crafts, where they have a good selection of colors and weights available.
Summer is rapidly approaching. And I'm considering offering a couple short workshops for the kids at the school where I teach. Knowing that the first two weeks of summer are generally a wash, and that I will be out of town the next four weeks after that, I put in my order early for wool felt, just in case I can arrange a fun workshop or two for later in the summer.
Some of the felt is ideal for needle felting projects, and I suspect that kids would go for needle felting in a big bad way.
And if the workshops don't happen, I'm going to have a lot of wool felt on my hands.
But I love wool felt. And I can do a lot with it. So I'm not worried!
What about you? Do you use wool felt for any hand embroidery or needlework applications? If so, what? Or, better yet, got any ideas for kids' projects with the stuff? I'm open to suggestions, and I'd love to hear your ideas! Feel free to leave a comment!

Band Baaja Baaraat is a heartwarming film. And Ranveer Singh must rank as one of the discoveries of 2010!
Witness this scene in Band Baaja Baaraat that comes halfway through the film. After months of telling each other, "jiske saath vyaapar karo, usse kabhi na pyaar karo," business partners Shruti Kakkar and Bittoo Sehgal sleep together. The next morning, Shruti makes him coffee for the first time since they met and starts addressing him as 'tum' instead of her usual 'tu'. If you wonder where their relationship will go from here, you get an inkling from the part-amusing, part-moving scene that follows when they sit sipping the beverage, their backs to each other, an entire bed separating them.

Tube power explosion! Vox ToneLab ST offers thirty-three different amp models with a versatile array of cabinets and effects to take your guitar playing to the next level – wherever you go. Introducing the Valvetronix series ToneLab ST; bringing true-tube pro-level sound for all players.
The Vox Tonelab ST is designed for mobility; made for guitarists on the go. The rugged metal body will stand up to life on the road, and the expression pedal carries on the fine tradition of VOX wah pedals.
The Valvetronix series is the perfect example of VOX's unique, cutting edge vacuum tube modeling know-how; delivering a broad range of powerful sounds. From large amp stacks to mini-combo amps and multi-effect units, the series boasts a diverse lineup, and can be seen on stage, in the studio, and in the home. The ToneLab ST maintains the sophisticated specifications of the Valvetronix series, while packaging them into a compact unit that allows anyone to easily experience true tube powered sound. In addition to both amplifier and cabinet models, there are also a wide variety of expertly modeled effects. In a compact, easy-to-use format, ToneLab ST delivers classic vintage sounds, studio-quality and high-gain amps, even new amp models created by VOX. Effect parameters can be quickly assigned to the expression pedal, ensuring a limitless range of performance power. Sophisticated extras include an auto chromatic tuner, sound management software for your PC, and convenient USB audio interface operations. The ToneLab ST is designed to deliver the ultimate in tonal dexterity to the musician in any situation, from stage to studio and everywhere in between.
True 12AX7 tube circuitry
The Valvetronix series was developed with painstaking attention to detail. The valve circuitry features a real 12AX7 vacuum tube – along with other components – to cleanly mimic the interaction that occurs in a tube amplifier in a way no digital circuit can. This distinguishes the ToneLab ST from other manufacturer's modeling units. This fundamental difference is the basis for the awesome sonic power available in the ToneLab ST that no other multi-effect unit can obtain.
Sophisticated top-to-bottom modeling technology
Through the years, a handful of guitar amps have provided the inspiration and created the driving force behind the greatest guitar performances in history. ToneLab ST is equipped with thirty-three spot-on amp simulations, including vintage amps, coveted boutique amps, the latest high-gain amps, and entirely new amp models designed by VOX. But the ToneLab ST goes even further, adding eleven classic cabinet configurations that can be mixed and matched with any amp model. That's 363 amp and cabinet combinations available instantly!
Multiple effects add a custom touch
A single ToneLab ST program contains amp, cabinet, pedal and modulation effect settings – even noise reduction options – providing enormous freedom and versatility for creating your own sounds. There are fifty preset programs for immediate use, covering a broad range of styles and playing styles. The preset programs include twenty song programs, able to instantly reproduce the familiar sounds of those great guitar songs that everyone will recognize. This way, you can enjoy the versatile sounds of the ToneLab SE right away – before you even consider creating your own programs. But when you're ready, the ToneLab ST can hold fifty of your custom edited programs. Together with the preset programs, this gives you a total of one hundred programs, available on demand.
One hundred programs, including twenty song presets
The amp, cabinet, and effect settings can be saved into 120 programs locations. There are also 40 preset programs that contain classic settings for each amp model.
Unlimited expressive pedal power
The ToneLab ST provides an expression pedal that lets you control various tone shaping effects and parameters as you play. In addition to volume and wah, you can use the pedal to control realtime effect parameters – amplifier gain, tremolo speed, flanger depth, etc – providing a dramatic leap in expressive potential. The "Quick Assign" function lets you assign any effect parameter on the fly. By specifying the range of control, you can quickly create highly original performance settings.
Excellent audio integration with your computer
ToneLab ST is a complete ASIO-compatible USB audio interface. With a single USB connection, the ToneLab ST will conveniently interface with your computer DAW or sequencing software. ToneLab ST delivers the signal to your computer digitally, with no degradation in sound, for flawless recordings. Librarian software (Windows/Mac) for managing ToneLab ST programs will be available as a free download, and allows the easy exchange of data between users.
Versatile support functions
An auto-chromatic tuner featuring great visibility is built right in. Mute and bypass functions allow you to tune unnoticed while on stage. The ToneLab ST's powerful Amp/Line switch lets you instantly apply the appropriate compensation for a guitar amp, power amp or direct recording connection, so you can take full advantage of its full sonic potential in any situation. There's also an AUX IN jack so you can play along with the sound of your favorite band in nearly any format. Compact in size, the on-the-go ToneLab ST is big on features and huge on tone!

One confirmed dead after Hurricane Michael slams into Florida, charges into Southeast
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - Hurricane Michael slammed into the Florida Panhandle with terrifying winds of 155 mph Wednesday, splintering homes and submerging neighborhoods before continuing its destructive charge inland across the Southeast. It was the most powerful hurricane to hit the continental U.S. in nearly 50 years and at least one death was reported during its passage.
Supercharged by abnormally warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Category 4 storm crashed ashore in the early afternoon near Mexico Beach, a tourist town about midway along the Panhandle, a 200-mile (320-kilometer) stretch of white-sand beach resorts, fishing towns and military bases.
After it ravaged the Panhandle, Michael barreled into south Georgia as a Category 3 hurricane -- the most powerful ever recorded for that part of the neighboring state. It later weakened to a Category 1 hurricane, and there were reports it spawned possible tornadoes in central Georgia.
In north Florida, Michael battered the shoreline with sideways rain, powerful gusts and crashing waves, swamping streets and docks, flattening trees, shredding awnings and peeling away shingles. It set off transformer explosions and knocked out power to more than 388,000 homes and businesses.
A Panhandle man was killed by a tree that toppled on a home, Gadsden County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Anglie Hightower said. But she added emergency crews trying to reach the home were hampered by downed trees and debris blocking roadways. The man wasn't immediately identified.

Damage in Panama City was extensive, with broken and uprooted trees and power lines down nearly everywhere. Roofs were peeled off and homes split open by fallen trees. Twisted street signs lay on the ground. Residents emerged in the early evening to assess damage when rains stopped, though skies were still overcast and windy.
Vance Beu, 29, was staying with his mother at her apartment, Spring Gate Apartments, a small complex of single-story wood frame apartment buildings. A pine tree punched a hole in their roof and he said the roar of the storm sounded like a jet engine as the winds accelerated. Their ears even popped as the barometric pressure dropped.
"It was terrifying, honestly. There was a lot of noise. We thought the windows were going to break at any time. We had the inside windows kind of barricaded in with mattresses," Beu said.
Kaylee O'Brien was crying as she sorted through the remains of the apartment she shared with three roommates at Whispering Pines apartments, where the smell of broken pine trees was thick in the air. Four pine trees had crashed through the roof of her apartment, nearly hitting two people. Her 1-year-old Siamese cat, Molly, was missing.
"We haven't seen her since the tree hit the den. She's my baby," O'Brien said, her face wet with tears.
In Apalachicola, Sally Crown rode out the storm in her house. The worst damage -- she thought -- was in her yard. Multiple trees were down. But after the storm passed, she drove to check on the cafe she manages and saw breathtaking destruction.
"It's absolutely horrendous. Catastrophic," Crown said. "There's flooding. Boats on the highway. A house on the highway. Houses that have been there forever are just shattered."
Gov. Rick Scott announced soon after the powerful eye had swept inland that "aggressive" search and rescue efforts would get underway as conditions allow. He urged people to stay off debris-littered roads.
"If you and your family made it through the storm safely, the worst thing you could do now is act foolishly," he said.
Michael was a meteorological brute that sprang quickly from a weekend tropical depression, going from a Category 2 on Tuesday to a Category 4 by the time it came ashore. It was the most powerful hurricane on record to hit the Panhandle.
More than 375,000 people up and down the Gulf Coast were urged to evacuate as Michael closed in. But the fast-moving, fast-strengthening storm didn't give people much time to prepare, and emergency authorities lamented that many ignored the warnings and seemed to think they could ride it out.
Diane Farris, 57, and her son walked to a high school-turned-shelter near their Panama City home, where about 1,100 people crammed into a space meant for about half as many. Neither she nor her son had any way to communicate because their lone cellphone got wet and quit working.
"I'm worried about my daughter and grandbaby. I don't know where they are. You know, that's hard," she said, choking back tears.
In Panama City, plywood and metal flew off the front of a Holiday Inn Express. Part of the awning fell and shattered the glass front door of the hotel, and the rest of the awning wound up on vehicles parked below it.
"Oh my God, what are we seeing?" said evacuee Rachel Franklin, her mouth hanging open. The hotel swimming pool had whitecaps.
Hurricane-force winds extended up to 45 miles (72 kilometers) from Michael's center at the height of the storm. Forecasters said rainfall could reach up to a foot (30 centimeters) in spots. And then there was the life-threatening storm surge.
A water-level station in Apalachicola, close to where Michael came ashore, reported a surge of nearly 8 feet (2.4 meters).
Based on its internal barometric pressure, Michael was the third most powerful hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland, behind the unnamed Labor Day storm of 1935 and Camille in 1969. Based on wind speed, it was the fourth-strongest, behind the Labor Day storm (184 mph, or 296 kph), Camille and Andrew in 1992.
Forecasters said it would unleash damaging wind and rain all the way into the Carolinas, which are still recovering from Hurricane Florence's epic flooding.
At the White House, President Donald Trump said, "God bless everyone because it's going to be a rough one," he said. "A very dangerous one." His office said he would tour the devastated areas next week.
In Mexico Beach, population 1,000, the storm shattered homes, leaving floating piles of lumber. The lead-gray water was so high that roofs were about all that could be seen of many homes.
Hours earlier, meteorologists watched satellite imagery in complete awe as the storm intensified.
"We are in new territory," National Hurricane Center Meteorologist Dennis Feltgen wrote on Facebook. "The historical record, going back to 1851, finds no Category 4 hurricane ever hitting the Florida panhandle."
The storm is likely to fire up the debate over global warming.
Scientists say global warming is responsible for more intense and more frequent extreme weather, such as storms, droughts, floods and fires. But without extensive study, they cannot directly link a single weather event to the changing climate.
And with Election Day less than a month away, the crisis was seen as a test of leadership for Scott, a Republican running for the Senate, and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum , the Democratic nominee for governor. Just as Northern politicians are judged on how they handle snowstorms, their Southern counterparts are watched closely for how they deal with hurricanes.

BALTIMORE, Maryland — Following Breast Cancer treatment, many women are left feeling self-conscious and embarrassed about their appearance.
But there's another breast reconstruction option giving women a chance to feel more like themselves again.
One Maryland woman took that journey at MedStar Franklin Square.
Donna Purcell had a rough road to recovery after her breast cancer diagnosis. She has a lumpectomy, radiation and then multiple follow up surgeries on her right breast.
"In December I found out that they wouldn't be able to save the breast any longer so they removed the breast."
Purcell didn't feel like herself, and because of all the damage done to her breast, it wasn't easy finding a solution.
"Because of the radiation and how my body had responded to it, and them going in and going in, it wouldn't be a good thing, it wouldn't be a lot of doctors basically didn't want to touch it."
But there was one plastic surgeon up for the challenge.
"He looked at the breast and when he came out and told me it was something that could actually be done all I could do was cry because it was a long time coming."
Dr. Gabriel Del Corral is a reconstructive plastic surgeon at MedStar Health. He performed a "deip flap" on Purcell.
"Deep flap reconstruction, stands for the name of the surgery and it's a deep inferior epigastric perforator flap which means really the name of the artery in the vessel that we remove at that time to do the reconstruction," said Dr. Del Corral.
He says "deip flap" is when doctors take someone's abdomen tissue, the skin and fat and use that fat to reconstruct the breast.
"It's very similar to a tummy tuck procedure where the tissue is removed and thrown away, but in this case, we take the tissue out with a little artery and a little vein that we actually connect to the chest wall vessels to give blood supply to the new tissues that was removed from the abdomen," said Dr. Del Corral.
Dr. Del Corral says there are many reasons why a patient might choose this over an implant reconstruction.
"A lot of the times patients don't want to worry about the possibility of having, needing an implant or having the need to have a revision later in life," said Dr. Del Corral. " Another important reason is, it's really your own tissue so its a natural reconstruction so if you gain or lose weigh the tissue with change with you and if you age, the tissue will age with you."
The procedure changed Donna's life.
"I feel good, I can take my clothes off and look in the mirror and it's me," said Purcell. "To be able to look in the mirror and look like a human, basically without a deformity, was more important to me than anything.

Legendary French furniture designer Pierre Paulin bestrode the 1960's and 70's with his recognizable and innovative style that instantly revolutionized everyday furniture.
A joyful modernist, Paulin's low-slung pieces provided a new laidback perspective on life and his forward-looking, eclectic and sculptural approach to furniture design instantly caught the mood of the swinging 60's. The hedonistic, sinuous style of Paulin's design also attracted the patronage of presidents Georges Pompidou and François Mitterrand, who asked him to redecorate parts of the Elysée Palace in the 1970's and 80's.

Recently I needed an algorithm to generate equidistant points inside the unit disk with some of them placed on the boundary (circle). To my surprise, quick search didn't reveal any simple method for this. Below is obvious solution & code, hopefully it will save some time for others.
MATLAB code:
function [x, y, Nb, Np] = eqdisk(Nr) %EQDISK Generates equidistant points inside the unit disk. % Nr [in] - number of radial circles % x,y [out] - coordinates of generated points % Np [out] - total number of generated points % Nb [out] - points on boundary (on r = 1 circle) dR = 1/Nr; x(1) = 0; y(1) = 0; k = 1; for r = dR:dR:1 n = round(pi/asin(1/(2*k))); theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, n+1)'; x = [x; r.*cos(theta(1:n))]; y = [y; r.*sin(theta(1:n))]; k = k+1; end; Nb = n; Np = size(x,1); end
Algorithm is based on the idea of placing the points on concentric circles with (near-) equal arc length between them. Here is some examples:

Message From the President
The Idea of America, For All People, For All Time
Colin Campbell
A year ago, in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks, I shared with journal readers my conviction that Colonial Williamsburg was, as it had been for decades, an emblem of the hope, the justice, and the resolve on which our democracy had to rely in uncertain times. The past twelve months have been tumultuous. Marked by war and the threat of further war, anthrax deaths and fears of more to come, terrorist alerts, economic instability, corporate scandal. A year of worry, a year of grief. Over these months my conviction about Colonial Williamsburg has been only reinforced.
This representation of eighteenth-century thought, culture, and community; this symbol of political freedom and personal responsibility; this expression of faith in the future; could not be more relevant, more material, to the resolution of our nation's twenty-first century challenges, and the dilemmas sure to beset us all in all the times to come.
This summer Colonial Williamsburg commissioned a survey on attitudes toward those American liberties that were at the heart of the debates here in Williamsburg more than 225 years ago. The results were provocative. Forty-nine percent of the 1,000 respondents were willing to relinquish freedoms and privacies in return for homeland security. They said as well that freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press were less important to their welfare than affordable health care, education, and getting ahead financially.
Americans are divided over whether to preserve constitutional guarantees or to compromise basic protections. We appear to assume the existence of fundamental rights; focus on modern needs and entitlements. Gordon Wood, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, Brown University professor, and Colonial Williamsburg trustee, said the "results remind us that rights taken for granted are rights that can easily be eroded or lost. Colonial Williamsburg is a place where the struggles and precariousness associated with freedom are represented and explored every day."
Colonial Williamsburg introduces visitors—among them school children and their teachers, researchers and vacationers, public officials and business leaders—to the setting, the debates, the courage and perseverance from which patriots fashioned the republic. Here, from woodworkers and from debaters, from brickmasons and from scholars, from antique objects and from modern television productions, from working livestock and the World Wide Web, the future learns from the past. I am confident of that future, and I am optimistic about America, in no small measure because of this place, its people, its purpose, and their fidelity to the ideals so eloquently expressed long ago in this historic city.
Colonial Williamsburg reminds us each day of what is at the
heart of our nation. A visit here is a lesson in the idea of America
and the formation of the republic. That is what Colonial Williamsburg
is about: the idea of America, for all people, for all time.

There are many factors that go into Inventory Management, but the bottom line is that you need to make sure you have just enough inventory on hand in the right locations to meet demand—whether that demand is to meet your customers' service level expectations or to supply a work order in your manufacturing facility.
NetSuite offers many native tools and features to help you make this happen including tracking inventory in multiple locations, safety stock, re-order points, cycle counts, demand planning and distribution requirements planning.
Maintaining the right amount of inventory to support service level expectations is critical. NetSuite offers many tools to automate this process. Preferred stocking levels, lead times and re-order points can be automatically calculated in the system, with suggestions appearing instantly in the order items list. In our multi-location distribution requirements planning solution, more advanced parameters help you balance demand and supply across the entire organisation.
Key Capabilities:
No matter how good your replenishment, tracking and management systems are, you need to do regular checks of actual inventory levels for key items. Keeping an accurate item count can help reduce required safety stock and lower your overhead costs. NetSuite's Inventory Count feature improves inventory tracking and gives you more control over your assets. With this feature, you can categorise inventory based on volume of transactions and/or value. You can also enter regular periodic counts of on-hand item quantities to maintain inventory accuracy.
Key Capabilities:
Companies require the ability to trace products from receipt back through their entire lifecycle. With NetSuite, you can define inventory and assembly items as being lot or serial tracked. The system will enforce the capture and identification of all related information on each transaction to provide full traceability. The inventory detail screen lets you view your inventory by lot or serial number and drill-down capabilities enable quick access to all related transactions.
Key Capabilities:
NetSuite offers unique capabilities when it comes to tracking inventory across multiple locations. The physical locations themselves can be hierarchical, allowing the creation of sub-locations. These locations can then be broken down into bins to provide a more finite level of tracking. Once the locations and bins are defined, any item can be stored in any location, which gives you a holistic view of inventory levels across all physical locations.

The Best City for Beer Drinkers Is a Total Surprise
Milwaukee? St. Louis? Neither of them hold a candle to the premiere city for those who love their suds.
Smart Asset has come out with a list of the best cities for beer drinkers in America.
Coming in at number one is a metropolis that no one will be believe when you say, "I knew it."
Asheville, N.C. -- home of...of...well, something cool, we imagine, but can't think of without going to Wikipedia -- tops the list.
The rankings were compiled by analyzing five factors:
- Number of microbreweries and brewpubs
- Number of microbreweries and brewpubs per 100,000 residents
- Average Yelp score of breweries
- Number of bars per 100,000 residents
- Average price for a pint of domestic draught beer
When you combine this list with the one for cheapest cities for beer around the globe, you've got the makings of a won't-be-able-to-forget-but-too-drunk-to-remember road trip that will be the envy of all your drinking buddies.

The harmony of Classic method of Japanese Art and modern style of designing!
Stencil Dyeing which called "Katazome Hanga (型染版画)" in Japanese is the collaboration and new style of the traditional Art form. Stencil Dyeing was used be the method for designing Edo Komon (江戸小紋) which is Japanese traditional cloth, Okinawa Bingata (沖縄紅型). Those styles often closely resemble the rich Edo emotive color schemes using patterns, characters, and other motifs.
Katazome Hanga is using traditional Japanese Stencil Dyeing to print Japanese paper to creating beautiful printmaking art work. It will produce beautiful pictures and Japanese typography.
Mr. Hiromu Ito sensei is one of the greatest stencil dyeing artist, who has not just simply succeeded the stencil dyeing techique but has also made a distinction from the established traditional style to create a new Japanese art .

Marilyn Manson Sings Gospel Song, Confirming End Times are Near
Marilyn Manson joined actor and country icon Kris Kristofferson onstage this past weekend in Los Angeles at The Ace Hotel. The two were accompanied by Tanya Tucker, Shooter Jennings and Dennis Quaid for a rendition of Kristofferson's "Why Me."
Manson later posted a photo with the singer-songwriter on Instagram and called the experience "an honor." Watch a video of the performance below.
The controversial rock icon stood out among the group of performers as the only representative from the rock world, however this wasn't his first foray into country.
Manson worked with Shooter Jennings in the past. The two collaborated on a cover of David Bowie's "Cat People" in February 2016 to honor the late icon, who died a month earlier. Jennings told Rolling Stone,"I invited him out to a party at this bar, and I said, 'Hey, you know 'Cat People'? You want to do that song on this record, 'cause you'd sound awesome doing it.' And he was like, 'I sing that song every night before I go onstage. That's my song I warm up to.' So one night I went over to his house at three in the morning and brought all my recording gear."

KOSCO People
Every KOSCO person is asked to contribute to the Company, regardless of individual capability or expertise. He or she upholds our Core Values and puts them into practice.
Cultivating People
Our People approach others with respect and consideration. In turn, we view Our People as individuals, not simply a means to achieve corporate performance. As people are the center of who we are, we take genuine care in their development, making their cultivation our top long-term priority.
Our People understand that individual performance is vital to team performance. Each individual pursues the common goals of the organization and voluntarily collaborates based on mutual trust. Our People achieve strong teamwork in the truest sense of the word, one that is firmly grounded on fairness and camaraderie. At KOSCO we describe this as Inhwa.
Limitless Aspiration
KOSCO people impose no limits to their aspirations, constantly setting higher goals and standards. When we say 'higher goals and standards', these goals are not about just becoming Number One. They are about setting goals high enough to allow people to feel great personal pride when they are achieved. Imposing no limits to our aspiration means our efforts and improvements to constantly raise the bar are both unceasing and voluntary. The sense of achievement from achieving our goals provides strong motivation to go beyond our individual limits, fueled by individual curiosity and passion. Our people find great personal meaning through this virtuous cycle, spontaneously and tirelessly driving their aspiration to the next level.
Open Communication
Our People are completely open in communication. KOSCO has a strong trust base which allows people to freely express opinions and value those of others, regardless of hierarchy. In fact, we have an obligation to provide constructive dissent backed by clear rationale. When we make mistakes, we acknowledge them. We never hide them. People who acknowledge mistakes and keep their promises are truly worthy of trust. Such trust enables open communication.
Tenacity & Drive
Our People possess true tenacity and the drive to make even the hardest things possible. When faced with a problem, we never give up but exhaustively research every possibility until we find the answer. But we are different in how we define tenacity. We look at the situation from numerous perspectives, never simply relying on ourselves and our existing resources. Our People practice 'smart tenacity' utilizing every available option and means, both internal and external, from preparation to implementation, to achieve our goals. At all times, we keep the concept of successful closure in mind and at the forefront of everything we do. Where necessary, and without hesitation, we actively seek out new ideas, knowledge, technologies and resources, regardless of origin. This allows us to access the best insights and talent in the market.
Prioritization Focus
Our People focus and prioritize what matters most. Whatever task we are faced with, our work starts with identifying priorities. When priorities are set, we mobilize all available resources and go straight to the heart of the hardest and most important issues, solving them once and for all.

Besides the urge to go to the kitchen, Nigella Lawson's TV shows also bring me the thought of having kids – luckily for me the first is easy to deal with and the latter goes away after I finish watching the episode. :D
Right before I purchased Nancy Baggett's beautiful cookbook on cookies I watched the lovely video posted on Amazon's website and boy, not only did it have the same effect on me that Nigella's shows usually do but I also wished my sister were a small kid again so we could bake cookies together like the two adorable children on the video. :D
Since I already owned a great book written by the author the decision of buying "Simply Sensational Cookies" was a no brainer – and these delicious bars were the first recipe I tried from it.
Coconut and pecan bars
from the delicious Simply Sensational Cookies
Shortbread layer:
13 tablespoons (182g) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon table salt
2 cups (280g) all purpose flour
1½ cups (165g) pecans, chopped
1½ cups (150g) sweetened flaked or shredded coconut*
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, chopped
2/3 cup (116g) brown sugar, packed
¼ cup light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon table salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Lightly butter a 32x22cm (13x9in) baking pan, line it with foil leaving an overhang in two opposite sides, and butter the foil as well.
Shortbread layer: in the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, vanilla and salt just until blended. On low speed, beat in the flour just until the mixture forms a mass. Pat the dough onto the base of the prepared pan into an even layer. Prick it all over with a fork and bake for about 20 minutes or until light golden and slightly darker around the edges. Remove from the oven, leave it on and make the topping: combine the pecans, coconut, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium heavy saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
Pour the mixture evenly over the shortbread layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is bubbly, golden brown and just slightly darker around the edges. Cool completely in the pan over a wire rack, then cut into bars to serve.
Bars can be stored, airtight, at room temperature for up to 4 days.
* I used sweetened shredded coconut and though the bars were a bit too sweet – if I were to make these again I would definitely use unsweetened coconut
Makes 24 – I made the exact recipe above using a 20x30cm (8x12in) pan

OMG, made these tonight as a Paleo/primal snack while watching the Grammys...they are to die for! I made them with almond flour and coconut sugar as substitutes. So caramely, buttery and rich! Cuddly even hold off until they cooled.

Hey, CressT, that is great news! Thank you for letting me know how the recipe turned out.

The David Carroll Collection represents over 30 years of careful trading in antique firearms and related items, particularly Smith and Wesson firearms of all types.
We are always seeking fine engraved Smith and Wesson firearms made from 1852 through 1898, and buying, selling and trading all other collector Smith & Wesson's, related items and accessories made from 1852 to 2002.
The year of 2022 is David Carroll's 39th anniversary as a member of the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association, where he has been a Life Member for many years. David is also a Benefactor / Founding Member of the Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation, a 501(c) (3) Charitable Foundation which provides funding and guidance for the preservation and research of historical materials of Smith & Wesson, in conjunction with the Connecticut Valley Historical Museum, Springfield, Mass. In addition he is a Life Member of the NRA, the Alabama Gun Collectors Association (AGCA), where he served a term on The Board of Directors and previously served as a member of the Gun Show Committee.

Billed as Germany's "anti-Trump", centre-left former foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier was elected Sunday as the new ceremonial head of state. The 61-year-old, who regularly polls as Germany's most popular politician, will represent the EU's top economy abroad and act as a kind of moral arbiter for the nation.
His Social Democrats (SPD) hope the appointment will boost their fortunes just as their candidate Martin Schulz, the former European parliament president, readies to challenge Chancellor Angela Merkel in September elections.
Steinmeier received 931 of 1,239 valid votes after Merkel's conservatives, lacking a strong candidate of their own, agreed to back him to replace incumbent Joachim Gauck, 77, a former pastor from ex-communist East Germany.
The vote was held in Berlin's glass-domed Reichstag building by a special Federal Assembly, made up of national lawmakers and electors sent from Germany's 16 states — among them deputies but also artists, writers, musicians and national football coach Joachim Loew.
With his snowy white hair, round glasses and dimpled smile, Steinmeier is one of Germany's best-known politicians, having twice served as top diplomat under Merkel for a total of seven years. Though the trained lawyer is usually measured in his speech, in the thick of last year's US election campaign Steinmeier labelled Donald Trump a "hate preacher".
After the billionaire won the White House, Steinmeier predicted relations would get "more difficult" and said his staff were struggling to detect any "clear and coherent" foreign policy positions from Trump. – 'Antidote to populists' – As Steinmeier has prepared for the new post, which he assumes on March 19, he has vowed to serve as a "counterweight to the trend of boundless simplification", calling this approach "the best antidote to the populists".
The Berliner Morgenpost newspaper judged that Steinmeier looks set to be "the anti-Trump president". Steinmeier is only known to have lost his cool once, in 2014, when he yelled at Berlin protesters who had accused him of being a "warmonger" over his Ukraine policy. The outburst was so unusual it became a minor YouTube hit. A policy wonk by nature, Steinmeier served as advisor and then chief of staff to Merkel's predecessor, the SPD's Gerhard Schroeder.
In 2009, Steinmeier ran against Merkel and lost badly, only to return years later to serve in her cabinet. Political scientist Michael Broening of the SPD's think-tank the Friedrich Ebert Foundation said that "as foreign minister, Steinmeier often acted as a voice of reason, bridging gaps and bringing people together". "It is hardly surprising that Steinmeier has branded himself as the essential anti-Trump," he added.
Steinmeier is well known in the world's capitals, but his appointment worries some in eastern Europe, who see him as too soft on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He raised eyebrows with NATO partners last year when he criticised a military exercise in Poland as "sabre rattling". – 'Changed equation' – Having Steinmeier move into the presidential Bellevue Castle in Berlin has emboldened the SPD.
After years in the shadow of Merkel, the Social Democrats are smelling blood as the chancellor faces deep divisions within her own conservative camp, and the rise of the hard-right populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) after opening German borders to a million asylum-seekers since 2015. Since Schulz took over the candidacy in late January, the SPD has risen sharply in the opinion polls.
It scored 32 percent — its highest in a decade and only one point behind Merkel's conservatives — in an Emnid poll for the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, which asked in a headline: "Is this the beginning of the end of the Merkel era?" The election may still be more than seven months away, but the SPD finally hopes to have a realistic shot at toppling Merkel.
"For Germany's Social Democrats, Steinmeier's election is a prelude to something bigger to come: a victory in September's elections against Merkel," said Broening. "While this seemed impossible only a few days ago, the recent rise in polls has changed the equation."

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
June 24, 2004
Statement on Philippine Election
Statement by the Press Secretary
Announcement of Election Results in the Philippines
The American people congratulate the people of the Republic of the Philippines on the successful conclusion of their presidential election. The Philippines has again demonstrated the strength of its democracy. A Joint Session of the Philippine Congress officially proclaimed on June 23 that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had won the election, concluding a constitutional process that began with polling on May 10. We congratulate President Arroyo on her victory.
We understand that some participants in the political process have raised questions about the results of the May 10 election. We commend the people of the Philippines for making use of established legal mechanisms and rejecting extra-legal options for resolving their differences.
The United States and the Philippines have long maintained deep bonds of friendship. The Government of the Philippines under President Macapagal-Arroyo has been a strong leader and a steadfast ally in the global war on terrorism. We greatly appreciate its contribution to the international effort to build a peaceful, free, and independent Iraq. We look forward to strengthening our close cooperation with the Government of the Philippines on these and other efforts to ensure the security and prosperity of our peoples.
