safety deposit boxes and your passport etc
Miscellaneous: Hi again, my my you do worry a lot but the good part is that once you come back from your Philippine trip you will realise that most of your worries were unfounded, I promise!! Most hotels have a laundry service. However, I find the cheapest way to get your clothes washed and ironed is simply to ask one of the housemaids in the hotel providing you have overnight to do it for you. She will be very happy with a little extra cash and you get your laundry done. As a guide, most chambermaids would be lucky to make around 200 pesos a day so even if you gave her 100 that would be generous and it would cost you about $AUD2.50. Don't worry about her stealing your clothes - she would not risk her job for your undies!!!.
Safety deposit boxes are 99% safe. My advice: Have a photocopy made of the FACIAL page of your passport making sure that the number is clearly readable, put that on your body when going to Subic and leave whatever else in the hotel safety deposit box BUT!!!! DO NOT LOSE THE KEY because that is expensive and a bother.
WARNING/ADVICE TO ANY TRAVELLER: Everybody should always have a photocopy of one's passport facial page and put it elsewhere in your luggage. If you lose your passport you are nobody. Same advice for your airline tickets - unless you have the original in your email address, at least that way you can print it again at some Net cafe - and isn't the internet cheap in Philippines!!! Enjoy your trip - watch the pickpockets in jeepneys around Subic - they are brilliant at it. Cheers, Henk.
A Map?
Miscellaneous: I've visited all the provinces of China since 2007. So, anyone interested in getting to the more isolated places and have some questions regarding these areas may write me a personal email about your journey should you need some help in getting around. I'll try to respond but at times due to lack of time it may take awhile, so write me while you're planning and not 2 days b4 arrival please!
Luggage and bags: Do you want your own clothes? 5% of ALL bags get lost or delayed by airlines. Mostly because they do not have a luggage tag! Put the details of your hotel. They can find you!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A good pair of shoes/boots and light coloured clothes, preferably a tan colour. You will get dusty and dark clothes show it more. Unless it's the rainy season. A good pair of boots would be advisable. Do not take old worn out boots. Not many shoe stores where you may be going.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sterile wipes for sure and your own soap. Many toilet facilities do not have any sort of soap. Diarrhoea tablets. They can be hard to find and only a few Pharmacies actually sell them. Aspirin. Very expensive in most of the developing world. Bandages for those blisters. Tissue for toilets that do not have any.
Photo Equipment: A lot of film or a large memory card. You will take a lot of pictures. The whole continent is one big photo opportunity.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Sunscreen. The sun is strong most of the year. You need an electric torch and/or a candle. The power does go out. Water. Water can de disrupted as well so always have some for your accommodation.
Miscellaneous: US Dollars or a strong currency like Euros or British Pounds. Some local currencies are not convertible. Exchange before you leave for the airport! A good Guide Book and some reading books would be handy.
No one is immune, even locals. You need 100% DEET repellent, Malaria Tablets and coils. Malaria tablets must be started 2-3 weeks BEFORE you leave. Do not gamble with your life.Related to:

Luggage and bags: I took a big backpack and a small daypack for 18 months in Asia with me! It is a strange experience to live just with the things you carry with you. That limits the number of t-shirts and trousers. Carrying everything on your back makes you think about, whether it is really nessessary to carry 10 books or 5 pairs of shoes with you.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: In the photo you also see my boots, which brought me around Asia. They were made of leather and a good quality. I don't know, what I would have done, if this shoes would have been lost or broken somewhere in Asia. In Asia they don't sell shoes in my size for women.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: I always had a small pack of basic medicine like aspirin, something against diarroeh(did I spell this right??Hmmm) and against cough. But you can easily buy all this in the pharmacies in Asia.Related to:

Modesty is the Key
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The weather is hot and humid. Lightweight clothing will be more comfortable to wear. There seemed to be no strict regulations about how men or women should dress, but due to the strong religious customs, modest attire would be best. Especially when visiting a Mosque or Hindu Temple the arms, (also head for women) and legs should be covered.Related to:
- Religious Travel
- Budget Travel
- Historical Travel
Luggage and bags: A big scarf is a must! It can be very usefull. A scarf protects your head against the sun or against rain.
A scarf can be used instead of a basket, when you buy fruits on the market.
A scarf covers the cushion, so you don't need to sleep on dirty sheets. Folded the scarf can be used as a cushion itself.
A scarf can even be used as a rope or a skirt or...
A scarf is a very helpful thing.Related to:

- Backpacking
Packing List
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Thermal or silk underwear in Winter, layering to a padded jacket which can be taken off indoors. Casual light clothing for the summer months. Leave the mini skirts and low cut tops at home. Good pair of flat walking shoes.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Packets of tissues. Moist towelettes. Bar of antibacterial soap. Sunscreen in Summer, moisturiser in winter. Lomotil (just in case).
Miscellaneous: Umbrella.
What to bring
Luggage and bags: When you're backpacking, weight is everything. When I first started my trip, I thought I was traveling light when my pack weighed something like 45 kilos. After about 2 days of carrying that monster around, I realized I was going to have to rethink my essentials and leave some things behind! Every few weeks I send a package to my friend Omar in Hong Kong full of things I've bought or decided I don't need to carry around anymore. Now my pack is much lighter, although most backpackers pack even lighter still!
Miscellaneous: My packing list consists of (more or less): 5 shirts, 3 pairs of shorts/pants, 1 pair of long johns, sandals, tennis shoes, 2 pairs of socks, 8 undies, 3 bras, swimsuit, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, a silk sleepsack (for when the hostel sheets are icky), inflatable pillow, an inflatable globe (so I can daydream and plan on those long train rides), toiletries, toilet paper, flashlight, camera, adaptors, a towel, a tiny travel alarm clock, an mp3 player with 19 songs on it (which I've heard at least 1,000 times), a Rough Guide and Lonely Planet guidebook, a few books for when I'm tired of reading my guidebooks, notebooks for journaling and pens.
Miscellaneous: I learned about a wonderfully simple e-mail service for travellers and used it on my last trip to Hong Kong. It worked perfectly! Mailstart.com allows you to retrieve all of your e-mail messages directly from your own internet provider at home. Just set up your account and password with Mailstart prior to leaving (it's free), receive your instructions and you're ready to go. Do yourself a favour and check it out at http://www.mailstart.com I loved it!
Shed Some Light
Miscellaneous: I always take a small flashlight and extra batteries when travelling. It has saved me during a stay in an apartment when the fuse blew and I had to go down four flights in the dark to reset it. It also comes in handy when visiting museums and other dark places (caves etc.) when you can shine a little light on things. And, a flashlight is particularly good when your travelmate wants to sleep and you want to stay up and read about the sights you're going to seethe next day.

Leaked Cables Demonstrate Guantanamo Dilemma
This week's explosive Wikileaks story includes a bevy of cables related to Gitmo. Were the camp closed, these might be the least interesting of all. As the camp is still in operation, however, the Guantanamo cables made the front page of The New York Times and reignited the debate about when, and indeed whether, the detention center will ever be shuttered.
In case you somehow missed it (or got bogged down in the details of the 291 documents published on Sunday), we're not talking about generalities in the cables related to the Gitmo prisoners. We're talking about specific discussions between various countries on whether they would take detainees released from the detention facility. If you believe what you read, the Pacific island nation of Kiribati is offered millions of dollars of incentives; Slovenia is actually offered the chance to meet President Obama if it takes a prisoner; Brussels is told that taking prisoners could be "a low-cost way for Belgium to attain prominence in Europe."
I know, it sounds like a story line from an Austin Powers screenplay, but it's not. It's real life wheeling and dealing with real lives. And it is a real dilemma for President Obama who rightly called Guantanamo a "mess" that he had inherited from the Bush administration.
But then, to make matters worse, President Obama (well meaning, but only in his second day in office) announced the closure of the camp, apparently without a plan. That's right. Neither Obama nor his Department of Justice announced a focused plan for what to do with the detainees — the dangerous ones or the majority who, most experts agree, are not dangerous, or at least were not when they first got there.
The Wikileaks cables don't reveal much we didn't already know about Gitmo, but they do confirm what we suspected: The Obama administration's allies in Europe and elsewhere want nothing to do with these detainees.
I have been covering the detention center at Guantanamo Bay since it opened in January 2002. On my program Best Defense, on the cable news network Court TV, we aired daily segments on conditions at the camp, the detainees, and the thorny issues raised in the Supreme Court litigation related to their detention. We were one of only two U.S. television outlets to cover live the first military tribunal of Salim Hamdan, Osama Bin Laden's driver.
As a former domestic policy advisor in the White House on crime and justice policy, I also expressed my opinion. I often called for the closure of the detention center in my regular commentary segments. While my view was certainly informed by constitutional considerations — including the detainees' right to counsel, habeas corpus and speedy trial (not to mention the various human rights considerations raised by the Geneva Convention) — we do not have to resolve those issues in a conversation about whether to close the facility. There is a more pressing concern: national security. With every day the detention center is in operation, we foster terrorism rather than squelch it. Guantanamo is an icon for the Bush administration's lawless detention and interrogation policies in the so-called "War on Terror." It's also a beacon to Al Qaeda.
Thus, I wrote with cautious optimism in November 2008 of "a president-elect who has vowed to close Gitmo once and for all. When he does, the camp will go down in history as a sad reminder of what happens when mistakes are made at the highest levels of our government, and no one has the courage to acknowledge it." Now, two years later, and a nearly a year past the deadline President Obama set for himself, the camp remains open.
Progressives who supported Obama's new moral direction — signaled perhaps most boldly by his promise to close Guantanamo — failed to understand the complexities of the reality on the ground. If nothing else, the Wikileaks cables are a stark reminder of those. In addition to a lack of support for closure overseas, there is a lack of support here at home. There is only lip service. Both houses of Congress denied Obama's funding requests to shut down Guantanamo and relocate the most dangerous prisoners to the United States. The vote in the Senate was 90-6; all but a half-dozen Democrats opposed their own President. That is why I was optimistic, but only cautiously so.
Obama still says he wants to close the camp. In an interview, on Fox News, about missing the deadline, however, the President explained his current dilemma: "I'm not going to set an exact date because a lot of this is also going to depend on cooperation from Congress."
Cooperation from Congress. That's the problem, in a nutshell.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 15 min
TOTAL TIME: 25 min
- 2 (9-ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts (not thawed)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, chopped (2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 lb dried egg fettuccine
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/4 cup) plus additional for serving
Cook artichoke hearts in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Return water to a boil.
Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté onion, salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, and zest, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add artichokes and sauté, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice (to taste), then remove from heat and transfer mixture to a large heatproof bowl.
While artichokes are sautéing, cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander and add to artichoke mixture along with 1/2 cup reserved water. Add parsley and cheese and toss to combine. Season pasta with salt and thin with additional reserved cooking water if desired. Serve with additional cheese on the side.

The Biker Tank is a boyfriend fit, intended to hang loose - women may wish to select one size smaller for a more fitted wear.

My 23 year old daughters has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, small cell, non-cleaved, stage III-B. She is currently in Round II of chemotherapy and is having a very difficult time with the nausea, etc. The chemo is very intensive and she starts a new phase every 21 days. She needs 8 rounds and there are 2 phases of each round; IA, IB, IIA, IIB, ec.
If someone out there has also had this form of Lymphoma, please contact me. I would really like to hook up with someone else that has undergone this disease or treatment and even the caretaker of an individual.
Being the caretaker is sometimes even more difficult than being the patient, I think.
Thank you.

Hi, my name is Ariane and had non-hodgekins lymphoma stage 3 in 1998. I had radiation everyday and chemo (chop) every 3 weeks. I had all kinds of reactions, extreme fatigue, kidney like infections, bowel problems, infections in my mouth, under my breast, on the side of toe and my skin was hanging, I couldn't eat, I was nauseated, I also had a blood cloth in my right upper leg. I did kept myself neatly every day, I used yogurts to eat and relieve my bowels, I had hemoroids, I just used supositories and ointment A&D. The infections, the doctor gave me ointments, I took at least 12 medecines until finally I stopped some stereoids and felt better without it. To eat better, the doctor gave me MAGE, a milky liquid, it worked right away, I was not hungry but would eat anything in front of me. I became anemic, therefore they gave me shots in my tommy. With all this I tried to hold a phone to say hello to people and I got a walker and paced the floor most of the day, that helped me a lot. I got some nice little bonnet to go out grocery shopping and scarves. Well, as you know it was hell everyday and the loneliness of not knowing what would happen to me, not going out much. I started walking outside and sat in the nearby park 2 hrs at a time. I tried to do things and just look forward to when I would stop the Chemo. I did, and I was out swimming 3 weeks later, then work again. I am now 68 yrs. old, I go hiking, recently I went to Yosemite, CA and went up the Verna fall. I traveled to the Rockies and now I am going to Ireland. So, you see, your daughter will be OK. We must try to be active and eat good healthy foods and have goals. My lymphoma was as big as a grapefruit on my lower spine. The pain was awful when we didn't know it was cancer. I had gone 2 times to emergency and they would not treat a "backache", I had driven there more or less 15 miles to the hospital at night and stood against a wall for 3 hrs waiting for a doctor. That was El Camino Hospital in Sunnyvale, CA. My recommendation is that you are young and you need to not despair, be as active as you can and in spite of your medecine have a tiny bit of red wine sometime, I am French and let me tell you that it helped my mental state to do the things I use to do. A big hug to your daughter...Ariane

Hi Kay My wife was diagnosed with non hodgkins in sept 2002. She was told she needed a miracle to survive it was that bad.She has undergone 6 chemo treatments and all looks good.She is a very strong individual who never looked back when she was told. Her response to her doctor was let's get started I have to get rid of this thing,I have to go back to work and help raise a grandaughter. I know not everyone can do this but I believe it was that attitude that got her to this point today.She will be checked the last week of this month and her Doctor's say they haven't seen anyone respone so well to this type of treatment which is for reoccurring cancer patient's.She feels she will be cancer free and her Doctor's are also very expectant of a good report.I know it is hard to have to sit back and wait to see what is happening and never knowing really how well the chemo is working,also the hair loss the sickness and all that follows.But words of encouragement and support, patients and love will prevail over all else.
Mar 14, 2003 - 1:59 pm
Dear Friend;
Oct 18, 2005 - 10:11 pm
I am not a cancer survivor, but a caregiver. My husband was diagnosed at age 48. His cancer is also stage III, with the small cleaved cell follicular Non-Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosis. I am hoping that your daughter is doing better. This message board is quite old, however. If you'd like to share -- please e-mail me.
Thank you.
Oct 25, 2005 - 7:03 pm
My Ex-husband is also dealing with NHL. We are 4 months post stem cell transplant. Im the caregiver, helps the kids and him deal better. Hope your husband is doing better. Its a long road and I wouldnt wish it on anyone. Prayers to you and yours.

Slackel Linux: Not Your Father's Slackware
You might think of the Slackel distro as a better Slackware derivative. Slackware dates back to 1992. By comparison, well-known and well-used distros such as Ubuntu, Fedora and Linux Mint were introduced in the mid-2000s. So Slackware is among the oldest actively maintained Linux distros. Despite its longevity, it has not joined more modern Linux offspring in terms of user friendliness.

IBM releases Power-based Linux servers with Nvidia GPUs
The Power Systems LC line was introduced by Dr Stefanie Chiras, director and business line executive of IBM scale-out Power Systems, as part of her keynote on the subject of 'waitless computing'. IBM, as a patron of the OpenPower Foundation, has been a staunch supporter of Linux and OpenStack, and this represents a logical step for the company, as it has been building its Power line following the sale of its x86 server business to Lenovo in 2014.

Good on you Foggie! Welcome aboard the Lipotrim train. It takes steely determination to get started at this time of the year; but just think, when everyone's dragging themselves into starting their New Year's weight loss ventures, you'll be well into your routine, slimmer and trimmer!
I started just over 3 weeks ago, and it is sooo worth it!
All the best for your 1st WI Foggie.
Thanks Trim
Certainly harder second time around but I know its worth it

Early Stages of a Program
Test first. Use RAD tools. Don't optimize early. There's lots of advice for the early stages of a program.
Today's issue of java.net includes posts on each of these three items. We are featuring a chapter excerpt from Johannes Link's book "Unit Testing in Java How tests drive the code". Publisher Morgan Kaufmann gave us permission to post this pdf excerpt from the book that focuses on test driven development of GUIs. Often GUIs give new TDD developers a tough time. How can you test that a GUI does what it's supposed to do without bringing it up on the screen and playing with it? Johannes presents what he calls "The Direct Way".
This is the first time we've used a pdf of a book excerpt. We weren't sure how to best handle it. We didn't want you to click on a link and find yourself downloading a pdf without warning. We also wanted to give you a chance to provide talkback on the content as you can with every other article. So Sarah and I decided that the HTML would be a small introduction to the article that made it clear that the link is a pdf. If you have suggestions for how we can handle this in the future, feel free to drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Today's Weblogs begin with James Gosling's entry Is it ever too early to optimize? James acknowledges that his bias probably stems from having "learned to progam on a machine with only 4K of RAM." Given the availability of cheap RAM and faster machines, we don't always design with enough attention to "cleanliness". He explains
In the "no premature optimization" model of the world, you ignore performance and build your system as cleanly as possible. Then you measure and tune. But after the tuning is done you can still find that the system is slow, but there's no real performance problem that you can localize. It's just a generalized, diffused slowness. A lot of small things spread everywhere that add up.
There are times that you need to consider performance from the start. One example that Gosling offers is "if you were building an editor for 3D models, almost all parts of the application interact with the model data structure. You can do a lot to hide the details, but there's only so much you can hide. If you don't think hard about the data structure right at the beginning of building the application, you're likely to end up with big problems. "
Philip Brittan gives his take on a similar issue in his post RAD Tool Let-down. He writes that RAD tools are appropriate for getting a prototype of an application but that
building the GUI through code does have some big advantages, and, personally, I almost never use a GUI builder for a production application. HereBlog Links >>

Mooney, Rosemary Patricia March 16, 1917 - September 20, 2013 Rosemary Patricia Mooney passed away peacefully on September 20th in Spokane. She was born on March 16, 1917 in New York City to George and Anna (Hardiman) Lussier. She graduated from St.Lawrence Academy and received a prestigious New York State Regents Scholarship to attend Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart. After graduating she worked as a deputy sheriff in NY, a Macy's store detective, and a hospital social worker. During WW ll she married Valentine John Mooney, a friend from childhood. Following the birth of her youngest child, Rosemary became an elementary school
and was well loved by her students. After retirement she went to live with her daughter Valerie and family. Adored by her grandchildren, she was a loving and generous grandmother. Her grandchildren have many great "grandma stories". Rosemary enjoyed reading, playing bridge - sometimes twice a day, and travelling during her retirement years. She was predeceased by her husband, Valentine and her son, Christopher Mooney. She is survived by her daughters, Valerie Mullen (Jim), Victoria Mooney, and son, Kevin Mooney (Delaine); grandchildren: Jennifer Cassidy (Michael), David Mullen (Jamie), Brian Mullen (Jill), Steve Mullen, Richard Mullen (Annie), Seanna Sumrak (Matt), and Jessica Siler (Chris); and 12 great grandchildren. Rosemary's joie de vivre, sense of humor, and generosity will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Rosemary's name to Trinity Catholic School. Services will be held at St.Joseph's Catholic Church in Colbert. The Rosary will be on Friday, September 27th at 6:30 P.M. and the Memorial Mass will be on Saturday, September 28th at 11:00 A.M.

the harsh transmission isn't normal at all.
My truck shifts like a Lexus.
each time it started to feel weird or out of the norm I took it in and had the tranny replaced four times.
just got tranny #5 for new years and I only have 40600 miles!

With the grinding halt of the real estate rollercoaster, exhilaration at the prospect of a 'fast buck' is over. What's next for the industry? Part I.
October 27, 2009 3:15 by Ehtesham Shahid
New business model
Market intelligence has shown the writing on the wall, even suggesting a paradigm shift for the industry going forward. A recent Jones Lang LaSalle MENA House View says the investment landscape of the region's real estate markets has changed over the past six months and that investors need a new business model. "This new model involves a shift of focus away from the previous develop-and-sell approach to one based around holding assets to secure sustainable, long-term income flows." As of March, JLL expected further price erosion over the 12-month period until the end of Q1 2010. "This could be the point where investors are enticed to enter the market," the report states.
Some people saw it coming. HSBC's springtime 2009 UAE real estate report – supported by ground surveys of brokers and properties – suggested a "bottoming out" of the market and confirmed that prices have "started to stabilize due to renewed interest as well as some sellers re-pricing, pulling their properties off the market, or putting them up for lease." The report goes on to state that "foreign investors also seem to be back in the market and the majority of transactions are being conducted in cash." That despite the fact that 75 percent of the projects shelved across the region are concentrated in the UAE.

ERISA plan sponsors, and employers more broadly, have been anxiously awaiting two rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court that they hope would clarify the ability to enforce class action waivers in arbitration agreements. Yesterday, the Court issued the first of these decisions in Oxford Health Plans LLC v. Sutter, a case in which Sutter alleged on behalf of himself and a class of health care providers that Oxford and other insurers had breached their contract and committed various state law violations. The Supreme Court determined that an arbitrator had interpreted the arbitration provision at issue as allowing class actions and thus there was no basis to conclude that the arbitrator had exceeded his powers.
Although the decision does not expressly address the underlying issues that employers and ERISA plan sponsors had hoped it would, the Court's decision may be most important for what was not said. In particular, the Court's decision to leave intact an arbitrator's ruling that allowed a class action to proceed in arbitration and not comment (or even suggest) that a prohibition on class action waivers would be inappropriate could be a signal that the Court would enforce an appropriately drafted arbitration agreement that requires the arbitration of all claims and, at the same time, precludes class action arbitrations. There remains hope that the Court will further address this issue in the second ruling expected by the end of the Court's term this month. That case is American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant and there the Court is expected to address in an anti-trust action whether a class action waiver is enforceable even if plaintiffs could demonstrate that the practical effect of enforcement would be to preclude them from vindicating their federal statutory rights. Stay tuned . . . .

Lovely vegan afternoon teaPosted on 08 / 05 / 2015
I emailed a couple of days in advance and for a very nice vegan afternoon tea! There was a choice of sandwich fillings - we went for the olive tapenade, which was delicious but very strong, so I'd recommend getting another flavour as well. The scones were excellent, and it was nice to get some vegan cream as well. We could choose our cakes from the menu board - the chocolate tiffin was rich and delicious, and the banana and date cake was wonderfully moist. It's a busy place, so it's worth booking in advance if you know when you're going to visit. I loved it!
Cons: Very busy!

CHICAGO – Director and writer Lars von Trier creates exposure through his film art. He is unafraid to explore the very nature of being human, while at the same time revealing the very foibles of barriers to our nature – social structures, economies, religion and our own conceits in life. Lars von Trier's latest barrier breaker is "Nymphomaniac: Vol. 1."

Cubans Petition for Change
Published: October 4, 2003
HAVANA, Oct. 3— A leading advocate for democracy delivered more than 14,000 signatures to the Cuban National Assembly on Friday, demanding a referendum on political changes, just six months after Fidel Castro's crackdown on dissenters.
This is the second straight year that the activist, Oswaldo Payá, delivered petition signatures as part of the Varela Project, the biggest homegrown, nonviolent campaign for change in Cuba. Last year, he delivered 11,020 signatures.
''Hope is reborn,'' Mr. Payá said Friday. ''Cuba needs changes, and there is a citizen vanguard willing to achieve them.''
The petitions propose a referendum on civil liberties like free speech and assembly, and amnesty for political prisoners.

AR Pine Bluff 43 at Kentucky 101
No. 10 Kentucky women beat UAPB 101-43Sunday, Dec 11, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)—Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell knew what his 10th-ranked Wildcats' game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff would be like on Sunday, so he had to set some goals other than simply winning.
Mitchell wanted his team to focus on turnover margin, and the goal was met: The Wildcats set a school record, forcing 49 turnovers and committing just 10 in a 101-43 victory over the Lady Lions.
Kentucky (10-0) scheduled this game as a breather among a brutal four-game stretch. The team's last two games were against No. 15 Louisville and No. 6 Duke, and their next game is at No. 3 Notre Dame on Dec. 18.
"Today we were really focused on our turnover margin," Mitchell said. "We had a game earlier this season where we forced 36 but we had 26. Turnovers are great, but the main focus is margin. The margin today was really unbelievable. That is the players focusing on both ends. They are fundamentally sound. Today in a game where they could have possibly gotten away with some things, they were particularly disciplined."
The Wildcats opened the game on an 11-1 run, and the Cats' scoring stretches never really ended: They only allowed the Lady Lions (0-7) consecutive points four times throughout the game.
Kentucky's offense was on point, if not inefficient. The Wildcats shot 39.7 percent from the field and were outrebounded 38-31, but the 49 turnovers—which led to 66 points—created a volume of shot opportunities that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Kentucky took 73 field goal attempts to Arkansas-Pine Bluff's 33.
Five Kentucky players scored in double figures: Bria Goss and Keyla Snowden had 19 each, Samantha Drake added 13, Bernisha Pinkett 11 and Azia Bishop 10.
Kentucky's leading scorer A'dia Mathies missed Sunday's game with an ankle injury she suffered in practice Friday. Mitchell said team doctors thought it was a sprain but are waiting until Monday to take X-rays.
Mathies' absence was another factor that forced the Wildcats to take Sunday seriously.
"You have to come out and play hard every single game," Snowden said. "You can't look past any team. That's what we really focused on in practice, coming to play as hard in this game as we did in the Louisville game and the Duke game."
In an effort to maintain consistent effort throughout all 40 minutes Sunday, Mitchell left his defense's full-court press until Arkansas-Pine Bluff's final possession. That was a major factor in forcing 49 turnovers, he said.
As a result, the turnovers were spread out fairly evenly. The Lady Lions had 23 in the first half and 26 in the second, and they never endured a stretch of longer than 3:04 without a mishandle.
"I can imagine it's pretty tough for the coach and team in general," Kentucky guard Crystal Riley said. "It gets frustrating, I'm sure. You can't get the ball down the court. You can't make any type of passes. I know it's pretty frustrating, but that's what we're about. We want to frustrate them. We want to stress them out as much as we can."

Exceptionally nice place to stay, especially if you are traveling along Interstate 5 looking for a unique experience on your journey. Men---this may not be your cup of tea :-) but the women will love it!
This was our first time staying in a B&B and we couldn't have been more pleased. Although it wasn't really the B&B experience we had heard of since we were the only ones in the house but that was great for us. The owners do not live there so it is only the guests that stay there.
Our wonderful experience started when we parked and a very nice man walked up to us and introduced himself as the husband of Wendi, the owner. Not only was he kind and welcoming we also found out he is the local pastor and mayor. Hey---we are hot stuff meeting the mayor on our first 10 minutes in town. He gave us great tips for places to eat and see while we were there. Thanks Dan!
The home itself is so quaint and beautiful with a million antiques everywhere I can't even begin to describe it. My face lit up the minute we walked in the door, my husband just smiled knowing this was the type of thing I loved. Wendi, the owner has done an amazing job of remodeling this old victorian home to make you truly feel like you are walking back in time. There are three rooms, all nicely decorated. We stayed in the Simon Selig room which had a very comfortable queen size bed along with a single trundle bed. I think my biggest giggle came when I saw the clawed tub with a shower curtain that goes completely around it. I couldn't wait to take a shower in it :-) I think my husband and I were both pleased we didn't have to share the bathroom with any other guests. FYI- The house does not have a TV which you certainly don't need.
The B&B is above an amazing tea room that Wendi has created. I would love to have a tea party for my granddaughters there someday. Thank you so much Wendi for taking the time to let us view your adorable tea room.
OK, this is a long review because we really loved this place. The most wonderful experience was Wendi's breakfast. Based on the previous reviews and website I wasn't sure just what to expect so let me share. It began with Wendi wanting to know what time we wanted breakfast the night before. We were not sure what to expect the next morning since they don't live there, around 1/2 hour prior to breakfast time we hear Wendi drive up but she goes in downstairs to the tea room to prepare the amazing breakfast. At the determined time she knocks on the door with a beautiful smile, sets the table with antique dishes and begins to bring us our 5 course breakfast. I will post pictures soon but I don't know that this is a standard menu. Not only was the breakfast incredible but Wendi took the time to sit with us and answer questions about living in Myrtle Creek since we are looking for a new area to relocate.
Overall, this place is a GREAT place to step out of the hassles of life and relax! It's truly as though you are in another world. Thank you so much Wendi and Dan for a wonderful experience. We will be back again as we make the journey from Sacramento to Portland to visit our children and grandchildren.

Victim's fatal trauma detailed during Robert Edward Fritts murder trial
Alternate juror recused during break in trial
CLINTON - The victim of a shockingly brutal slaying sustained at least 11 chopping and blunt-trauma wounds to the back of her head, a medical examiner testified Thursday.
The injuries to Teresa Ann Busler's head left so many shattered skull pieces "that I didn't count them," Dr. Adele Lewis said.
Anderson County Criminal Court Judge Don Elledge ruled that some of the autopsy photos that prosecutor Sandra Donaghy wanted to offer as evidence were too gruesome for jurors to view.
Lewis instead gave verbal descriptions of the photos to the nine-woman, three-man panel.
An alternate juror was relieved of her duties during a break in testimony Thursday, the fourth day of the first-degree murder trial of Robert Edward Fritts.
The judge told the remaining jurors that trial testimony had rekindled memories of a "very tragic incident" in the panelist's life.
Fritts, 27, is accused of killing the 45-year-old Busler on March 6, 2007.
Fritts is Busler's son-in-law and was living in the Busler residence at the time.
Busler's husband, Steve Busler, said he returned home the afternoon of March 6 and found his wife's body in their blood-spattered bedroom.
Steve Busler said that when he was allowed back into the home the next afternoon, he discovered that a hatchet he kept between a mattress and bedsprings in the bedroom for security was missing.
Anderson County Sheriff's Department Deputy Kenneth Campbell, a detective at the time of the slaying, testified Thursday that he and a fellow investigator returned to the Buslers' Andersonville-area house a week later and extensively searched it.
The missing hatchet was found in a crawl space over the home's garage, Campbell testified.
Testimony is scheduled to continue this morning, and court officials expect the trial to continue throughout most of next week.
Mart Cizek, the court-appointed attorney for Fritts, said he anticipates calling from three to six witnesses. He said it's now uncertain whether Fritts will testify.
The state is seeking life without parole for Fritts, who has been jailed in lieu of bond since May 2007.

Updated December 15, 2011
Gulnaz, the Afghan woman jailed for adultery after a relative raped her was freed on Tuesday, her lawyer has told the BBC.
Kimberley Motley, Gulnaz's lawyer, announced that her client was released without precondition, and was healthy and happy to be released.
From the BBC:
Ms Motley said that Gulnaz is now staying in an undisclosed location in Kabul with her child after being released overnight on Tuesday "for her own safety away from the blaze of publicity".
Updated December 2, 2011
Three weeks ago I wrote here about Gulnaz, a 19-year-old Afghan woman who was raped by her cousin's husband, then charged with adultery and finally sentenced to 12 years in prison. Her baby girl, born following the rape, is serving her sentence with her.
The European Union commissioned Development Pictures to produce a documentary highlighting women's rights issues in Afghanistan, but subsequently suppressed it for political reasons. The documentary tells Gulnaz's story.
Gulnaz To Be Freed
At first the news broke that Gulnaz would be freed, but only if she agreed to marry her rapist.
But today the BBC reports that Gulnaz does not have to marry her attacker to be freed, according to her lawyer.
Lawyer Kimberly Motley says this was clarified personally to her by President Hamid Karzai's office.
Mr Karzai pardoned the woman, named as Gulnaz, earlier this week, but some reports had said this was on condition that she married her attacker.
On Friday, Ms Kimberly said that 21-year-old Gulnaz would be released with no pre-conditions and would then be free to marry whomever she chooses.
"She doesn't have plans for the future, she just wants to get out [of prison]," the lawyer said.
The Afghan President got involved in the case of Gulnaz when the decision not to broadcast the film led to a storm of publicity, including a Care2 petition with over 90,000 signatures.
Today's announcement seems to bode well for Gulnaz, but her story is brutal:
"He Had Filthy Clothes On…He Shut Me Up By Putting His Hands On My Mouth"
From CNN:
Even two years later, Gulnaz remembers the smell and state of her rapist's clothes when he came into the house when her mother left for a brief visit to the hospital.
"He had filthy clothes on as he does metal and construction work. When my mother went out, he came into my house and he closed doors and windows. I started screaming, but he shut me up by putting his hands on my mouth," she said.
After the attack, she hid what happened as long as she could. But soon she began vomiting in the mornings and showing signs of pregnancy. It was her attacker's child.
In Afghanistan, this brought her not sympathy, but prosecution. Aged just 19, she was found guilty by the courts of sex outside of marriage — adultery — and sentenced to twelve years in jail.
So we welcome today's news, but the fact remains that women in her situation are often killed for the shame their ordeal has brought the community. She is at risk, some say, from her attacker's family. And her case is common to many women in Afghanistan.
Gulnaz Faced A Stark Choice
Under Afghan law, Gulnaz has been judged an adulterer. Despite the ongoing dispute over her story, that has not changed. So it's great that this 21-year-old woman has been released on the orders of President Karzai, but let's hope that her case serves to throw a light on the situation of Afghan women, who are so often deprived of basic human rights.
Half of Afghanistan's women prisoners are inmates for "zina" or moral crimes.
If you haven't taken action, please sign our petition demanding justice for the women of Afghanistan.

So an evil dirty stinking unwashed brute of a man enters this girls home locks the doors and windows grabs her by force and sticks his filthy hands all over her and then the law says off to jail you whore female or marry this evil male who took your dignity and honour. What sort of noddy land is this? How do the men who make these laws lay straight in bed at night? This is 2013 not 1200, 1500 or even 1800 so it's time for some humanity and equality towards the females of Afghanistan and other Islamic countries. To all these uneducated dictatorial men let me tell you, Allah, God, The Great Spirit of the universe is watching and doesn't like what he sees because what goes around comes around sooner or later. Love and Peace
Disgusting, the man that did this should be locked up and shamed. The law needs to change.
Thanks for sharing.
This certainly seems to be a miscarriage of justice. The poor women was raped, served time in prison & now is expected to marry the scum bag who caused all this misery, she also has a child as a result of this crime. Shouldn't the shoe be on the other foot ?? sending him to prison for a very long sentence for his indecent acts on this young woman. It goes to show how women are treated as less than second class citizens. They have no voice at all in their own country, so it's up to everyone who reads about this offensive case, to try to do something about it. Change in these countries does not come easy & thanks must go to the young girl who almost lost her life after being shot in the head, she is still brave enough to try to bring about change even though she has not recovered from her brutal injuries. For every one story we get to know about there are most likely dozens that don't come to light...
This is the typically monstrous outcome of allowing Abrahamic religions to influence law.
Monotheism is a vile plague on the human race; the human mind holds the cure to this plague - free thought, humanism, rationalism, and normal innate human compassion. Resist religion, choose life, humanity, freedom, peace, and the hope of justice.
@graham r, yes, marriage as a "cure" for rape not only exists in present-day Afghanistan and other nations in that region -- it also was the "cure" advocated by the Torah / Old Testament.
In that way, the "real" damaged party -- the father who can no longer demand a bride-price and whose "honor" has been besmirched -- is made whole. Patriarchal legal systems put no value on the woman's pain and suffering at all. Her innocence and misery mean nothing.
So what I'm getting from this is, in Afghanistan if you like a woman but she doesn't reciprocate, all you have to do is rape her and by law she's either yours for life or she goes to prison?
Sounds like they've created a perfect haven for rapists.
Pathetic and disgusting.
I doubt that she want's to leave her home, family and what support she has. Where would we be if Malcome X or Dr King just up and left after a bad experience?
Thanks for the education about the inhumanity of so-called humans toward other people.

|By definition this is not a quickdraw. A runner must have one end tightly secured on one of the carabiners in such a way as to prevent it from spinning in order to be considered a quickdraw. This is what makes it a quickdraw. The configuration shown here does not serve that function. It is a great way to rack your 24 inch runners. But it is not a quickdraw.

I must admit that I really miss the good, old Star Trek. All series are down, what we got now is Abramsverse which isn't really to my taste. And the books about the 24th century has taken a direction which is not to my taste either.
So it's a bit empty.
I guess I have to read "The Black Shore" again. Or some other masterpiece among the 19 first Voyager books.
Kes was written out of the show. Nothing to do with Treklit. In fact, a version of her is in Rise Like Lions - be grateful !
Tuvok not missing, he is in Titan. By all means read those books - they're pretty good.
Neelix is in the Beyer novels.

The bailout deal's done. Now what?
Published: Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 7:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 7:33 p.m.
WASHINGTON With the markets bobbing up and down daily, millions of Americans have been queasy about their personal finances and, to judge from readers comments as well as opinion surveys, wondering whether the ship of state is still seaworthy.
No one can know when things will calm down, but history does offer markers for dealing with some of the issues.
Q: Even if the government gets some of the money back in the course of a rescue plan, it sounds as if America can say farewell to the really good times, doesnt it?
A: Beware of predictions like that. Remember that a decade or so ago, with the country awash in prosperity and the Soviet Union and the Cold War having passed into history, there was some serious debate about what the government should do with the enormous budget surpluses projected for the first decade of the new century.
A terrorist attack, a recession and a couple of wars later, that debate seems as ancient as arguments over whether Americans would ever buy Japanese cars. There is no perfect telescope to peer into the future.
Q: If taxpayers finance this recovery plan, will Social Security and Medicare be affected?
A: There will be no effect on Social Security and Medicare, which are paid for through deductions from paychecks and contributions from employers. Yes, Social Security and Medicare face some problems that will have to be addressed sooner or later, but to avoid a headache, you should think of those issues apart from the current financial crisis. And tune out oversimplified, alarmist language.
Q. But if the government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on a rescue plan, wont there be a mountain of debt that will take years to pay off?
A: Theres already a mountain. As for the current crisis, optimists have suggested that after the Treasury buys up those troubled mortgage-backed securities and resells them, it could actually wind up ahead.
Previous financial interventions, as the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress calls them, have turned a profit. When the government helped Chrysler with $1.5 billion in loan guarantees in 1980, it made a profit of $311 million from the sale of warrants, or options to buy stock. On the other hand, the 1989 bailout of the savings and loan industry cost the Treasury $150 billion, according to the research service.
The value of the mortgage-backed securities in the current crisis will not really be known until they are unraveled. As the research service says, surely without fear of contradiction, determining the cost of government intervention is not straightforward.
Q: Despite all the talk about Wall Street greed and regulators who dont regulate, arent the American people partly to blame for the current mess, considering that a lot of them took on debt they couldnt pay back?
A: Political oratory notwithstanding, there is no simple answer to this one. Most Americans still make their mortgage payments each month. And one persons greed is another persons aspiration. Yes, some people took on debt they ultimately could not handle, and there were some shady lenders and real estate speculators, but no two situations are alike.
Being a homeowner is a big part of the American dream, and has long been encouraged by the government. Consider the mortgage-interest deduction, for instance.
Q: Suppose the Treasury cant sell all those mortgage-backed securities for anything close to what it paid for them. Couldnt that put the government deeper in the hole, and shouldnt that worry people?
A: Were back to that mountain of debt. The rescue plan calls for raising the national debt ceiling by $700 billion, to $11.3 trillion. But, again, it has never been clear that the full $700 billion will be spent. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the final cost could be substantially less.
And all this talk about billions and trillions demands a little perspective. As of mid-August, the total outstanding debt of the U.S. government was just a bit more than $9.6 trillion, according to the budget office. But not quite $4.2 trillion of that is debt held by government trust fund accounts, the largest being those for Social Security and also including accounts for retirement benefits destined for military people and civil service employees. Economists, who supposedly understand this stuff, like to focus more on the publicly held debt that the United States owes to domestic and foreign lenders. That number, now just above $5.4 trillion, is about 38 percent of the countrys gross domestic product for 2008. Compare that to the historical high of 1946, when World War II had pushed the overall debt to 109 percent. Moreover, a lot of the debt is owed to Americans whose portfolios include Treasury securities.
Q: But shouldnt the people be worried that a huge bill will come due one day?
A: Again, some perspective is called for. Consider this passage from an article in The Times: When President Bush informed the nation last Sunday night that remaining in Iraq next year will cost another $87 billion, many of those who will actually pay that bill were unable to watch. They had already been put to bed by their parents.
That was written five years and several hundred billion dollars ago and is truer than ever. Also the United States still has a good credit history. Perfect, in fact. It has never defaulted.
