More than 1,000 young people attended the hustles and our media coverage of the series achieved a reach of 17 million.

At approximately 351 days and some hours into it – we now know that 2014 has been a great year. From being a massively political election year – marking 20 years of South African democracy – to the soccer World Cup, to online activism such as #Ferguson. The trends at the heart of these events – such as #paybackthemoney and #ICANTBREATHE – have grabbed our attention, fascinated us, mystified us and completely revolutionised how we understand and see things.
On the entertainment and political planes respectively, two of the biggest trends of the year were 'Real Housewives' and an increasingly turbulent South African parliament – bringing into sharp focus our viewing culture and the importance we attach to entertainment value, even where unusual. At Live SA, we're celebrating the end of the year with a hilarious parody of both Real Housewives and South African politics. The drama, intrigue, late night squabbles and shouting matches that have characterize either, particularly parliament, have inspired us to easy to create a hybrid of both – complete with outrageous fashions and sharp-tongued rebuttals to comments and debate.
Live from Parliament casts a youth lens on parliament and government, covering committees, policy-making, MPs, and the sitting of actual Parliament. Our team of youth journalists will be reporting Live from Parliament every week in partnership with the People's Assembly and Indigo Trust.
The People's Assembly connects people and their elected representatives. To stay in touch with your local MP, visit www.pa.org.za, follow them on Twitter @PeoplesAssem_SA or Facebook/PeoplesAssemblySA.

Live SA journalists and photographers will be casting a youth lens on parliamentary committees, policy-making and MPs as part of a wider campaign of engaging young people in the democratic process.
Rofhiwa Maneta (23) is one of the young journalists reporting Live from Parliament. "I am really excited to be reporting the real truth about what happens in Parliament and how it affects young people. With talks of "walkouts", "parliamentary privilege" and "points of order", it's easy to switch off from parliamentary proceedings, so our hope is to translate politics into something that young people read, understand, share and debate," says Rofhiwa.
Parliamentary Monitoring Group Monitor and Projects Manager Rashaad Alli says: "We, together with our People's Assembly project, are excited to undertake this initiative with Live SA. Their dynamic youth team will help to demystify Parliament and provide opportunities for young people to find their voice and advocate for change."
The Indigo Trust is supporting the partnership. "The Indigo Trust is delighted to support this project. The voices of youth are so often ignored and many disengage from politics altogether. This is a fantastic opportunity to ensure that the issues being discussed in Parliament are conveyed in a language which they can relate to. In the long-term, hopefully this will result in young people becoming more socially engaged," says Dr Loren Treisman, Executive at the Indigo Trust.
Livity Africa is the youth agency behind Live SA. "Live from Parliament builds on Live SA's year-long Voting Is Power Campaign which has engaged with over 100,000 young people in South Africa through live debates, broadcasts, social media and youth-created political content," says Gavin Weale, Founder of Livity Africa.
"Our ambition is to create opportunities that unleash young people's influence in society. We feel Live from Parliament will achieve this by encouraging greater connections and accountability from Parliament to young people," says Gavin.

The VIP Debate Club is a regular open event at which young people are invited to discuss and debate some of the most pertinent youth-specific political topics of the day in a relaxed space over a drink. Facilitated by young social commentators and influencers, the club is a great place to join like-minded people for a healthy debate.
The VIP Debate Club is back in Braamfontein this month. Join us for the debate on Tuesday 28 October at the Bannister Hotel, Braamfontein.
In recent times, the Blackface incident at the University of Pretoria and the ongoing criticism around the lack of transformation in South Africa rugby have reignited the debate around whether South Africa is a post-racial society. Our debate will discuss whether the Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu-inspired national-building imperative of self-diagnosing South African society as the "Rainbow Nation" in 1994 may have been premature. Did this stymie the racial dialogue required to genuinely move South Africa forward or does South Africa really reflect the "Rainbow Nation"?
Our panel includes former GQ associate editor and respected journalist Siphiwe Mpye with more to be announced soon. Our own Lee Molefi will be facilitating the debate.

Today our Digify and Live SA teams will be spending 67 minutes on Mandela Day writing stories for writing app bookly which aims to improve literacy in South Africa. According to the 2012 General Household Survey (GHS) conducted by Statistics South Africa over 7% of South Africans are illiterate.
Nelson Mandela International Day was launched in recognition of Nelson Mandela's birthday on 18 July, 2009 via unanimous decision of the UN General Assembly. It was inspired by a call Nelson Mandela made a year earlier, for the next generation to take on the burden of leadership in addressing the world's social injustices when he said that "it is in your hands now".
Last year, digital agency NATIVE VML launched bookly, an e-reader app for Mxit that delivers smartphone functionality to even the most basic feature phone. With more than 450 local and international books on the platform, bookly became popular fast. There have been over 13 million pageviews from close to a million unique visitors since launch. With the notion that every phone is a book and with a phone, anyone can be an author, bookly's new mobile site will invite users to tell their story and write a bookly.
"By expanding bookly into a writing platform, we will allow children and young adults to create content that is relevant to them – and written in their own language. That way, bookly will become a platform that inspires writing, in any language, on any mobile device," says Levon Rivers, NATIVE VML's Head of Inventions.
Read our crew's bookly stories: Sarah, Mapholoba Boy, Nush and Tshepo.

Have you ever searched for something on Google and been presented with adverts at the top, bottom and right hand side of your page? Or noticed a huge flashing banner advertising the latest 40% off sale at Zando while you're innocently browsing through your favourite website? That's all thanks to Google AdWords. Now we know traditional advertising is usually associated with trying to push sales or product, but Google has been quite creative in learning how to leverage their online advertising service to raise awareness for non-profit organisations and help them meet their goals.
Google has been taking advantage of the power and reach it has to help non-profit organisations through a programme called Google Ad Grants. It's been live in other parts of the world since 2003 and as recently as last year it finally made its way to South Africa. The motivation behind the programme is to empower non-profit organisations by giving them $10 000 per month to promote their initiatives on Google's search engine. Essentially Google Ad Grants provides free online advertising opportunities, at absolutely no cost to the organisation itself.
If used correctly, this could be a huge advantage for non-profits in South Africa who often play a vital role in meeting essential needs and services where the government falls short. It's usually non-profit organisations who actively play roles in improving service around education, social welfare, health and social enterprise initiatives. With the help of Google Ad Grants, these vital players in South African society can promote their websites on Google, raise awareness by creating unique ads that will highlight the work they do and track online donations, newsletter sign-ups, volunteer registrations and more.
To be eligible for the Google Ad Grants programme, organisations must hold current and valid charity status, as determined by their country. In South Africa organisations would need to be registered under the Companies Act 71 of 2008 or the Non-Profit Organisations Act 71 of 1997 as a non-profit company to be considered. They would also need to acknowledge and agree to the application's required certifications regarding non-discrimination and donation receipt; as well as use and have a functioning website with substantial content. Government entities and organisations, hospitals and medical groups, schools, childcare centres, academic institutions and universities are not eligible for the Google Ad Grants programme.
Our team at DigifyZA are in their last month of an intense three-month digital training programme and have started running their own Google Ad Grants campaigns. They are currently working with four non-profit organisations; Activate!, the Steve Biko Foundation, Cheesekids and Princess Alice Adoption Home. An example of an organisation that has used the programme successfully is AIESEC with their 'Travel to Impact' campaign. Google Ad Grants helped them expand their student registrations to 10 new universities, acquire 1200 new student registrations, reach out to students outside their physical location and establish a strong online presence. Live SA has also just joined the Google Ad Grants programme.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by facilities at this hotel. The room was spacious and nicely decorated although the carpet was worn.The bedding was spotless. The choice of food and drink was good and was value for money. The only downside was the lack of entertainment. The hotel was good value for money.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
XMPP (Jabber) servers work just fine without an internet connection. I use ejabberd and it works quite well, but there are a number of other options for both Linux and Windows servers.
XMPP also has excellent client support, including most of the "alternative" IM clients like Adium, Miranda, Pidgin, etc.
You could also go for IRC, the Internet Relay Chat. There are several opensource servers and a lot of clients for windows and linux (like mIRC or irssi).
We use IRC at our company, where we have most of NOC and Servicedesk in a channel, so questions or announcements can be broadcasted to everyone.
I have used Vypress chat for years as a private IM system. It works great on a LAN with no inet. Per there web site, there are .nix ports of the client.

Arizona senators issue joint statement on Yarnell fire report
U.S. Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake issued a statement Saturday after the Arizona Forestry Division released an official report on its investigation into the Yarnell Hill Fire that killed 19 firefighters in late June.
"We hope that the information contained in this report will lead to reforms that can help prevent tragedies like this from occurring in the future. We owe it to the honorable 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who were lost while protecting others, and to all who risk their lives fighting wildfires to learn from this event and implement changes that will protect first responders going forward. Our country remains ever grateful for their sacrifice," the senators said.

Patient Comments: Depression - Treatments
What kinds of treatments have been effective for your depression?

I'm on medication, but it doesn't seem to be helping any with my depression. I'm very depressed about something that happened to me when I was young.

My doctor took me off of a 5 mg of Xanax once a day for depression, to 50 mg of Trazodone. It was the worst. I slept for 36 hours and woke up with bags under my eyes. Don"t take it!

Those of you with teenagers that are having issues with depression/"the blues", please get them to a doctor for a diagnosis. One little pill can make a big difference in their lives! Depression hit me in my 20s and also my son. We both are on medications and thrive much better in our lives now. I currently work 2 jobs and love my life!

I've struggled with depression since my late teens and at 38 have finally begun to feel really good. I've tries a lot of different meds but for me, a low dose of the new drug, Cymbalta, works for me. I have combined this with daily walking of at least 1 mile and regular games of basketball, volleyball, or football tossing with my son. I was the most sedentary woman on the planet for a long time and it just made my depression worse, not to mention the fact that I gained a lot of weight. I used to hate the people that said, "Exercise! Exercise! You'll feel gooood." LOL, now I have become one of them because it's true. My 11 year old son is my best motivator because he loves the new me and makes me go with him every single day to do some type of activity. Fortunately we just moved to a great new house beside a large city park and both the move and the proximity to the park have to change me dramatically for the better. All I can say in closing is find a really good doctor and be honest with him/her. I adore my doc and he's a PA but better than any MD I've ever seen. I trust him and feel very "safe" discussing anything with him. Take your meds regularly and don't be afraid or intimidated by doctors. They're just guys who do all the same things we do, albeit wealthier most times, but if you find the right one you'll know it. I hope this helps someone. Don't give up. I've finally found the sunshine after so many years of dark clouds and tears. If I can pull out of it, anyone can.

I'm a 48-year-old female, suffering from depression and anxiety for more than 20 years. I have tried Prozac, Paxil, Effexor, Depakote, Xanax, Klonopin, Wellbutrin, Lexapro -- hmmm -- think I covered it all. Oh, I also take Ritalin because I read that it can help -- and it does (sometimes). My problem is that stuff stops working after two years. I'm currently retrying Prozac and am thinking of also taking a mood stabilizer. I'm not manic in the sense that I have highs, but I'm either normal or very depressed. As you all know, it's a hard life. I sleep a lot, and I have trouble wanting to do anything. It's as if I have no energy. I have been in therapy for years with a wonderful person and have a new psychiatrist. The frustrating thing is that no one can really say what's going to work. I hope that in the near future they'll be able to do blood work and figure out the right cocktail.
Comment from: tps154, 13-18 Male (Patient) Published: December 12
I was depressed all throughout high school, beginning really in eighth grade. After a rough few years, capped off by a season-ending injury in football, my mom was concerned about me and decided it was time to try a medication. I was started on Prozac 10 mg, which was then upped to 20 mg after three months. It seemed to be just what I needed; I basically cared less about, well, everything. Nothing would faze me; I was a walking zombie. At the time, maybe it is what I needed. However, I did not want to live my life with no emotion. I didn't cry the entire time on Prozac. When I decided to stop taking it (without doctor approval – I should not have done), I cried hysterically about anything and everything. I needed emotion back in my life, and it felt good to care about family, friends, and life in general. The thing I want to stress most about the medicine is that the depression never really went away, for me at least. The thoughts of accepting death, the worthlessness, the fear, the pain ... it all remained. I just simply didn't care about it. I was a zombie. I would rather live life feeling the emotions, good and bad, than floating through it with no feelings. I do not regret taking it; however, I probably did need it at the time. Just make sure you know what you're getting into when you do decide to try a medication.

When your platform addresses both the front and the back end, the result is truly unifying.
Birst's Networked BI is a new and disruptive approach to enterprise BI
Birst is the first business intelligence platform that combines the best of both worlds: the capability and data governance of legacy on-premise BI solutions, with the speed and agility of desktop discovery tools.
Consume Data Your Way
Birst's adaptive user experience gives users the broadest choice of self-service, data consumption options.
Enable Data as a Service
Birst's user data tier allows self-service access to both governed and ungoverned data and metrics.
Everyone is Cloud-Connected
Birst's multi-tenant cloud architecture allows users, teams, departments and IT to instantly share findings and data.
Networked BI: data flows in both directions.
Networked BI virtualizes the entire BI ecosystem, transforming every aspect of an organization's approach to analytics. Built on top of Birst's modern, multi-tenant cloud architecture, Networked BI creates a set of interwoven BI instances that share a common analytical fabric. This enables organizations to expand the use of BI across multiple regions, departments and customers in a more agile way, and empowers these decentralized teams to augment their enterprise data with their own local data.
Networked BI is different, allowing both top-down and bottom-up blending of data. The result is local execution with global governance, eliminating data silos once and for all and dramatically accelerating the delivery of BI across the enterprise.
Top Down:
from IT to end users
Enable a central IT team to expand the use of BI across the enterprise by creating virtual BI instances that unify global, local data and metadata.
Decentralized BI
- Rapidly refine enterprise data
- Create trusted, governed user data
- Create corporate wide metrics
- Create top-down Virtual BI instances
Decentralized BI
- Subscribe to Virtual BI instance
- Rapidly mash-up with departmental data
- Share with end-user
End-user Discovery
- Blend corporate and local data
- Transparently work in "personal BI sandbox"
- Support individual agility, transparently governed: working with trusted corporate and departmental data
Bottom Up:
from end users to IT
Empower individual end users to access and blend data. The blended data can be promoted up to become part of global business model, which maintains governance and ensures people are working with a trusted, consistent source of information.
Corporate BI
- Can create new virtual "top down" instances
- Can treat as departmental and/or corporate governed
Decentralized BI
- Further blend with additional data
- Governance maintained transparently
- Promote to central corporate instance
End-user Discovery
- Independent virtual instance
- Data blend with individual data: auto dimensional model
- Share with department instance
Birst incorporated the best-of-breed of all the qualities that we were looking for in a BI solution. The total cost of ownership and the flexibility that Birst provided made us choose Birst over other providers.Ram Nagaraj, Director of IT, Business Intelligence and Master Data, Aruba Networks

pros: million dollar view, great location, professional staff, nice sheets, not musty, clean rooms, heated pool, beautiful courtyard smells like roses, firepit, quiet at night, off the main drag but close, right on the water, gorgeous sunsets, comfy lounge furniture on patio, good coffee in the morning, microwave and mini fridge in every room without a full kitchen, excellent wedding venue, good energy.
Cons: some furniture in a few rooms a little rough around the edges; not enough parking for a wedding (though the church across the street accepts donations for use of theirs); after taking suitcases to car and returning to their room to get it out of the fridge, our friends discovered the maids were already eating some leftover wedding cake our friends had saved.
From the moment my fiancée and I walked through the entrance into the courtyard, we knew this was the place our wedding was going to happen. With 26 rooms of varying size and capacity, a pool in the courtyard with beautiful teak lounge chairs and tables on the upper terrace overlooking the water, a firepit and more comfy, cushy patio furniture around it on the lower terrace, I knew our guests would enjoy it as well. The landscaping surrounding the pool includes bright green grass and beautiful, tall roses that, as the hotel manager promised, were in full bloom for our wedding. I didn't have to decorate much for the wedding, as there were so many beautiful flowers potted all over the hotel.
The presidential suite was phenomenal! I'm really bummed it was such a hectic weekend that we never had the chance to soak in the hot tub overlooking the ocean, but I can say the bed was heavenly! The sheets were luxurious, and fresh, despite the proximity to the water. The rooms with full kitchens were the perfect place to gather around the table for a few drinks or spread some food out. The queen rooms were small, but comfortable, and after all, one doesn't spend much time in their room in a place like that. Our friends walked down to Newport Ave to check out the local scene and do some shopping. The groom and all the guys had a fun bachelor night at the bars. Our parents' friends easily found nice places to eat in nearby point loma and downtown.
As far as holding your wedding there, you get the entire hotel to yourselves, no strangers staying among you, no one passing through. There's one entrance to the place, so I didn't have to worry about security (gifts going missing). I did it the easy way and hired Phil's BBQ to cater my wedding. They provide a bartender as well, so that was covered, too! The hotel has enough tables and chairs and linens for the maximum allowed capacity. They moved all the teak furniture, and actually utilized some of it for the dj, guest book, gift, and cake tables, and set up their tables the morning of the event. The only things I had to rent were the table settings. And more lights (the Inn purposely leaves the patios unlit to be able to enjoy stargazing at night with less light interference). Raphael's rentals has worked events at the inn before, so that was another easy decision, as they were already familiar with the location and its quirks, like overspray from heavy surf potentially damaging a dance floor set up the night before.
Oh yeah, the surf... We had to time our wedding around low tide because at high tide, there is potential for a water show that rivals the bellagio's, especially if it is a particularly high high tide.
The staff: I should have put this at the top of my review, because the staff is what really made the day exceptional. From meeting with Gavin, the hotel manager, to discuss the layout of tables and buffet and dance floor, I knew I was in good hands. Planning your own wedding is stressful, and his eneregy was always calm and reassuring. He was my coordinator, reminding me to send him a picture so he could have personalized room key cards made for the event, contacting my vendors for me to acquire necessary contracts, informing me of available rooms so I could help organize my friends and family into suitable rooms. The day before the wedding Gavin helped us through our rehearsal, coordinating the dj and music with how long it takes to walk down the ramp and aisle; he told us where to pause for pictures (making sure our photographers were aware of the plan as well. The photogs were our friends and were present at rehearsal). The day of, by the time I woke, his staff were already moving furniture, setting up tables and chairs, power washing the patios. My florist was able to put out the centerpieces and decorate the other tables when she arrived. Throughout the day, Gavin was right there to let me know it was time for the ceremony to start, time to make the grand entrance, time for cake. It's hard to explain how Gavin and his staff were simultaneously invisible, but always right there when needed. I can only describe their service as beyond professional! Once things started winding down, and the majority of guests who were not staying at the Inn had left, the staff started to take away tables and replace them with the patio furniture, creating a comfortable, social environment for us to hang out around, play music on the iPod and continue to dance. and they danced all night, which was a sign to me that the event was a success and our guests enjoyed their stay.
In fact, I didn't hear one complaint about the place from anyone I spoke with after our wedding.

Implementing decisions: 'The Secretariat is not CARICOM'
Once I had read and re-read Dr Ralph Gonsalves's address to the opening of the Twenty Fifth Inter-Sessional Meeting of the Conference of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Heads of Government it was inevitable that it would be set aside for publication in this issue of the Guyana Review. Frankly, I had been attracted to what I considered to be its surprising bluntness on a delicate issue…ho's really to blame for some of the critical weaknesses in CARICOM.
Professor Gonsalves is by no means the first West Indian academic to find his way to the pinnacle of his country's politics. He has, too, been one of those regional academics-turned-politician who has left neither his intellectual acumen nor his innate radicalism behind. On this occasion he brought both to bear to impressive effect.
His speech in St Lucia at the regional Inter-Sessional Forum is not the first occasion on which Dr Gonsalves has leapt ahead of his colleagues with his forthrightness on a particular issue; except that this time around it seemed that he had, without so much as a trace of mischief, poked his finger in the eyes of his colleagues. That, I submit, may have been just my own imagination, though it is hard to believe that, at the very least, the former University of the West Indies Professor was not seeking to provide his colleagues with a lesson on what the Caribbean Community really is.
The 'tutorial' came too on the heels of the celebration of CARICOM's fortieth anniversary, so that the forum of the Twenty Fifth Inter-sessional Meeting was a more than fitting place to 'talk shop,' to undertake an introspective assessment of the fortunes of the Community.
Gonsalves began his presentation by conceding that setting aside the "wide range of achievements, some of which are impressive, others modest…there have also been "setbacks, disappointments and failures."
That was a hastily laid foundation for an 'innings' in which he made it clear that he was, whatever its shortcomings, there to 'bat' for CARICOM, not just for the institution but, equally, for its much-maligned Georgetown-based Secretariat.
Dr Gonsalves is altogether correct in his assertion regarding what often is a mind-boggling misperception among high level officials regarding what CARICOM is and what it can do.
CARICOM, Dr. Gonsalves asserts, "is not a unitary state; it is not a federation; it is not even a confederation. The Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas conceives it as a community of sovereign states."
Here was a CARICOM Head of Government not only quite prepared to point to the overwhelming limitations of the regional movement but even to have the 'gall' to speak openly about its "weak superstructure which constantly gropes for consensus" in the presence of his assembled colleagues.
It was a sharp departure from the fantasy world in which animated, idealistic integrationists live. And here was Dr. Gonsalves saying to them that what they continually see as a regional movement that can be all things to all people, is, in reality, a strictly limited institution, "no more than the market can bear."
And Dr Gonsalves is right. All too often examples of a lack of the requisite political will to make Caricom anything more than it is, rears its head.
There is, too, an irrefutable truth in Dr. Gonsalves's assertion that "neither the political leadership as a collective nor the populations as a whole have an appetite for much more than what is currently on offer in the Treaty commitments." Caricom may be a noble and even – to some extent – workable idea. Supranationalism is a different kettle of fish.
"So," says Dr. Gonsalves, "our political mandate is to ensure that what is fashioned in the Revised Treaty is implemented optimally." In other words, let's get real.' And in truth, it seems, more often than not, that it has been the inability of CARICOM Heads to 'get real' that has placed limitations on what it can accomplish.
But Dr. Gonsalves was not yet done with cutting to the bone of CARICOM, seeking to get to the heart of some of the regional organization's real maladies. Next he touched on the issue of ensuring "that the organs of the Community work as intended and that its decisions are implemented in each nation-state of the Community and thirdly, that the political leaders and populations in each nation-state possess the requisite political will for CARICOM's optimal functioning." It is here that the rubber really hits the road for even as CARICOM governments blame its institutions for failures the real truth is that as we say in the region – they are simply talking through their hats, unable to bear their truth of their own culpability.
Inevitabily, he arrives at the doorstep of the CARICOM Secretariat which, invariably and wrongly in his opinion, is habitually "excoriated" for the regional movement's "implementation deficit."
He reminds that contrary to what even some CARICOM Heads sometimes appear to believe, the Secretariat is not CARICOM" and that "it possesses no authority to compel enforcement of decisions of the various Councils of Ministers and the Heads of State and Government Conference." It is "the governments of nation-states," in the absence of an Executive CARICOM Commission, that bears the responsibility "for the implementation of CARICOM's decisions."
Not that the shortcomings of the Secretariat escape Dr. Gonsalves' attention. He alludes to limitations in the delivery of the Secretariat's administrative and coordination functions" but refuses to blame it for "the implementation deficit" placing that responsibility squarely at the door of national governments…" vaunted change-drivers," he says, "cannot reasonably facilitate meaningful change in decision-making and implementation in CARICOM if the individual governments or several of them do not embrace a commitment, made manifest through structured arrangements."
The success of the CARICOM enterprise, he says, begins with the political leadership…and none of his colleagues are about to challenge him.

Garcia Says He Didn't Actually Lose That Election
Don't let the election results fool you. Domingo Garcia is a winner.
Last I checked, Domingo Garcia lost his bid for Congress. Marc Veasey got about 53 percent of the vote in last month's Democratic primary runoff, which is more than half, which is what it takes to win an election.
Except Garcia doesn't see it that way.
"While it may appear that I have lost the election, I really didn't," Garcia wrote in an email to supporters.
Say what? Is there some awesome loophole I've never heard about that awards 1,117 votes to the guy with the better mustache?
But no. Seems that Garcia is a winner in the same sense that the lousy kid on a soccer team is a winner.
You see, in the process, I gained so much. I gained new friends, greater strength and courage. My faith was tested at times, but running into new 18-year-old voters or simply a 76-year-old like Mr. Jimenez who voted for the first time, made my day.
I was taught to stand up for the underdog and to take stand for your values, principles and integrity. I did just that and I am so proud of the many wonderful volunteers, staff and family that stood right with me. There were many who gave valuable time, hard-earned money, strong encouragement and, finally, your vote. I am impressed by your courage and your faith in me and the cause. You, too, stood for the people and the difference we made in the community!
We had fun, we were challenged at times and yet we learned so much about each other in the process. We all stood with the hope of making a better tomorrow for our communities and our families. We fought the good fight with passion and determination.
And, as Garcia's said before, he's taking his loss not as the defeat that it is but as motivation for 2014. His goal? Register 20,000 new voters in Dallas and Tarrant counties over the next two years, or roughly the same number of people who voted in the runoff election. If they all vote for Garcia next time, he'll win in a landslide.

Apple OS X Mavericks
Bye bye big cats; here comes OS X Mavericks (Free). Introduced at WWDC 2013 and rehashed at the company's fall event, Apple's newest Mac operating system release is loaded with all sorts of new features, and is the first release in a series named after locations in California. Just like the rumors suggested, there's tabbed Finder browsing. It's just like Safari, but allows you to easily access and move documents across what would have been, in the past, multiple folders. Even cooler: tagging. You can tag your files with different colors and categories, and easily sort them in the Finder sidebar. Oh, and it's all free. That's right, for the first time, Apple is letting anyone running Snow Leopard or later update their Mac, for no charge.
Anyone who uses multiple displays will appreciate the updated support for external monitors Apple has built into this edition of the operating system. Now, you can have multiple full-screen apps running across multiple displays, and have the menu bar and dock shared across them. Additionally, displays hooked up to Apple TV can act as full secondary displays, with all the benefits of one that's plugged in to your Mac. And the system has been optimized for the integrated graphics processors fond in many Macs these days.
Apple is also claiming extended battery life based solely on the software, with features such as power coalescing and compressed memory. Apparently, these kind of activities can decrease CPU activity by up to 72%. The company says you'll get an hour or more just by installing Mavericks. Safari has been improved with a redesigned sidebar and landing page, updated, constantly scrolling Reading List, and Shared Links, which shows you stories posted by your followers to LinkedIn and Twitter.
iCloud Keychain is a way to store your website logins, credit card numbers, Wi-Fi networks, and account info across devices. Think 1Password, but integrated right into OS X. Notifications now allow you to reply right in-line, without having to open up the corresponding app, while iOS notifications can now be sent to your Mac if you choose. Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are now update in the background, without you having to do anything.
It looks like "flat" has made it to the Mac, too; Calendar has been redesigned with a whole new look. It includes features such as travel time, which looks really cool to us. Maps has been added as a brand new app, with a send to iPhone feature that makes it easy to share your route when it's time to go. The other new app to be added to the lineup is iBooks, bringing your whole library to your desktop or lap.

Expenditure and loss of income incurred by tuberculosis patients before reaching effective treatment in Bangladesh [Notes from the Field]
Abstract:This small study undertook to assess the economic consequences of developing tuberculosis (TB) among patients presenting to the TB clinic run by the Danish Bangladesh Leprosy Mission in NW Bangladesh. The loss of income resulting from the illness, and the actual expenditure incurred by medicines and doctor's fees before registration for treatment, were estimated and totalled for 21 patients serially registered at the clinic. The results showed a mean financial loss to the patient of US$245—an exorbitant sum for a village Bangladeshi. Perhaps economic deprivation suffered by TB patients could be used as a measure of success of the programme.
Keywords: Bangladesh; expenditure; treatment; tuberculosis
Document Type: Short Communication
Affiliations: Danish Bangladesh Leprosy Mission, Nilphamari, Bangladesh

August 2016: Approaches to Social Justice in the ELA ClassroomFor this issue, ELQ takes its inspiration from the Conference on English Education (CEE) Position Statement, Beliefs about Social Justice in English Education. Authors are required to read and reflect upon these beliefs and to address them in detail in their manuscripts. Share manuscripts of no more than 3,000 words as editable Google Docs and write cover letters as a direct email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
>>> Deadline: May 15, 2016
October 2016: Connected Reading
In Book Love: Developing Depth, Stamina, and Passion in Adolescent Readers, Penny Kittle asserts: "Once students are reading regularly, voraciously, we can lead them further. Once students develop a loyalty to books and authors, creating identities as readers, they will move toward challenge." This issue of ELQ is dedicated to pursuing the big questions related to reading instruction. How do we connect with students, colleagues, school, and local communities to create a community of readers? How do we encourage readers to share their reading lives in practical and real-world contexts? What struggles do ELA educators face in establishing and maintaining reading communities? What role does technology play in the cultivation of reading lives? Share manuscripts as Google Docs and cover letters in direct email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

mnSpin: More Music for mnArtists.org
It's been a little over three years since mnartists.org launched in late 2004. Since then, the McKnight and Walker Art Center-developed website has sought to bring artists of all facets together on one handy website. Though at times the site can feel a little visual art-heavy, musicians can become more involved now thanks to mnSpin.
This January it kicked off its quarterly music contest for local musicians, and now those interested can submit up to three works to be listened to by a panel of guest judges. This go-round, judges included local rapper Dessa and MPR's Chris Roberts.
Interested? Take a listen to the January winners, Alison Rae, the Sexy Bang, and Stacy K, or read up on entry rules here. Winners eventually make it onto a compilation CD to be released later this year. Not ready to submit? MnSpin will also be hosting a variety of industry workshops, the first one in late March at the Summit Brewing in St. Paul. A beer party follows the workshop, of course.
Get the Music Newsletter
Keep your thumb on the local music scene each week with music news, trends, artist interviews and concert listings. We'll also send you special ticket offers and music deals.

Cover Picture: Finite, Spherical Coordination Networks that Self-Organize from 36 Small Components (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 42/2004)
Molecular spheres can be readily formed. The cover picture shows the crystal structure of a spherical complex that spontaneously forms from 36 small components (12 Pd2+ ions and 24 bent ligands). In their Communication on page 5621 ff., M. Fujita and co-workers describe the self-assembly of this almost 4-nm diameter hollow complex which is soluble in polar media and stable under STM and CSI-MS conditions. The functionalization of its periphery with fullerenes or porphyrins is also described. (The graphics were prepared by Dr. Akito Hori.)

Well, hooray! Finally, we are talking about open markets. What about the
efforts of Democratic Senators to force China to reduce the value of their Yuan
against the Dollar? Already, hundreds of small businesses and many large
businesses (aka Walmart, etc.), and the American Public are suffering because of
higher prices due to this mis-placed zeal to curtail International Trade.
I personally operate a small business which now depends on Chinese imports (due to the loss of suppliers in Americe due to "some" greedy Trade Unions) and my costs have increased more than 10% in one year because of these mis-guided efforts by the aforementioned Senators who are the very ones who say "How High" when their party leader says, "Jump".
If this trend continues I will soon be out of business, along with hundreds of other small businesses. And this will just add to the high level of unemployment in America.
By all means, let us say yes to a free and open market system.
