La Ni˝a continues to influence our weather, and has strengthened some in the past month, according the the latest discussion issued today by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center. They predict that La Ni˝a will continue at least until June, and probably into October. If this prediction holds true, we are likely to see another very active hurricane season in the Atlantic, as wind shear is typically quite low over the Atlantic during La Ni˝a conditions. Dr. Bill Gray's forecast (issued December 6) is calling for 17 tropical storms (average is 11), 9 hurricanes (average is 6), and 5 intense hurricanes (average is 2-3). It will be interesting to see if the stronger than expected La Ni˝a conditions will cause him to raise his numbers in his forthcoming April 4 forecast for the 2006 hurricane season. The NOAA hurricane forecast will be issued in mid-May.

La Ni˝a has brought increased rains to portions of Ecuador, northern Peru, Hawaii (which suffered moderate flooding problems last week), and of course the Philippines, where a devastating mud slide killed over 1500 on the island of Leyte. On the flip side, La Ni˝a has brought drought conditions to the south-central and southwestern U.S. Phoenix, Arizona has recorded its 142nd consecutive day without rain today, and Flagstaff has recorded only 2.6" of snow this winter--77 inches below normal, and 110 inches below last year's snowfall. The Snowbowl ski area near Flagstaff was unable to open this year for the first time in its history. Rain is forecast to fall over much of Arizona on Saturday, but not enough to significantly dent the drought.
Tornadoes today
My next update depends on the weather--severe weather and tornadoes are expected over much of the southern U.S. today, and we'll see what storms develop. Already this morning, tornadoes have been reported in Arkansas and Tenessee, along with damage from 70 mph thunderstorm winds and baseball-sized hail.

I was unable to book through a "mall". I had to go directly from the email that groupon.com sent me about this offer. I, of course, used my Discovercard or AMEX (I forget which) for money back. I've noticed that the offers they send me via email are not always on their general website.

OK basically all I want on my front page, is a list of 5 or so posts per category on my mainpage. So effectively instead of a blog like layout, it has seperate sections that look like blog posts but which have the titles of the most recent posts in a category.
If someone could give me the code to list recent posts like it shows in the sidebar it would be much appreciated then I will figure the rest out myself. I have tried searching for this but to no
I have a bit of experience in HTML and CSS but wordpress is completely new to me!

In Kashmir, rebels threw grenades at the home of a senior government official, wounding five policemen. Other rebels attacked a police patrol, leaving one civilian bystander dead.
Militants in Pakistani Kashmir said that 20 of their members had crossed over into Indian Kashmir despite the Pakistani assurances that such crossings would stop. The Jamiat-ul-Mujahedin militant organization said that they, and other militant groups, control the border area. The Pakistani government will now be pressured to assert their authority on this border area.

I have a brand new install of WordPress 3.5.2 running on WAMP within Windows 2008 R2. I have installed Postie 1.5.15 and no other plugins.
I am trying to emulate something I was playing around with a couple years ago, which was being able to post emails from my corporate Outlook clients (connecting to Exchange server 2003/2010), and posting emails to a WordPress blog via postie.
Currently, postie is able to retrieve messages and post to the blog, but any email that has either a Word Document (doc or docx) or Excel Spreadsheet (xls or xlsx), the attachment doesn't appear at the bottom of the message. It doesn't get attached. I am able to successfully post PDF attachments in blog entries so it's somewhat working. When running postie debug, no debug txt appears when processing these emails with Doc/Excel attachments.
I somewhat remember fighting with this a couple years ago and managed to get it to work. It may have something to do with postie retrieving messages to Exchange server. Or perhaps it's just my install.
Can anyone help?

Pampa and Palo Duro will play in the early game of a doubleheader at 4 p.m. today at Dick Bivins Stadium. Pampa's last three games have been decided late, so Dons kicker Alfredo Chavez may need another game-winning kick to help his team make the playoffs and win their third straight game.
Pampa was a reception away from beating Canyon in a 33-28 loss. Pampa had a PAT kick blocked in OT of a 14-13 loss to Dumas. And last week, Pampa lost 33-22 when Caprock scored two touchdowns in the final minute.

Last year's rookie class was the most impressive in a long time. Players like Jered Weaver, Joel Zumaya, Russell Martin, Cole Hamels, Chad Billingsley, Andre Ethier, Nick Markakis, Carlos Quentin, Dan Uggla and Ian Kinsler made their major league debuts. Meanwhile, Francisco Liriano, Ryan Zimmerman, Jonathan Papelbon, Jonathan Broxton, Matt Cain, Scott Olsen, Conor Jackson, Prince Fielder and others followed up brief 2005 showings with strong rookie seasons. Oh, and let's not forget Rookie of the Year winners Hanley Ramirez and Justin Verlander.
The 2007 class is not as deep, but entering this season there were quite a few new names expected to a significant fantasy impact right away. Later in the season, "Are You For Real" will take a look at some Rookie of the Year candidates, but this week we examine three newcomers whose disappointing performances to date has been the cause of much hand-wringing among fantasy owners.
Alex Gordon, 3B, KC -- Such an exceptional prospect that he spent only one season in the minors, Gordon was supposed to be a five-category performer at the hot corner in KC. Instead, he's batting .168 and slugging .262 while striking out 36 times in 33 games. Can he turn it around, or was it a mistake to rush him to the majors in the first place?
Will: For Real. Gordon's development surely wasn't helped by being rushed to the bigs, but he really is one of those rare prospects that are as major league ready as they come one year out of college. Gordon utterly dominated Double-A last year, and had a fine spring campaign as well, batting .317 with a .419 on-base average and a .556 slugging percentage in the Grapefruit League. While it will take him a few years to hit for great batting averages in the majors, he should turn it around if the Royals are patient with him. Expect him to start hitting soon, finishing around .250 while approaching twenty home runs, double-digit steals, and around 75 runs and RBIs. If you have the luxury of reserving him until he warms up do so, but don't cut him loose. Buy low in keeper leagues if his owner is easily discouraged by small sample sizes.
Adam: For Real. Unlike most struggling, under-performing players, there is not a lot in Gordon's numbers to make owners truly confident in a rebound. He is hitting so poorly -- an OPS of .543? -- that it's nearly impossible to find much of anything positive in his stats. At least the patience is there, and although the strikeouts are bothersome, I am only slightly less high on Gordon than I was entering the season. His final numbers will no doubt fail to meet expectations, but he is still the best prospect in baseball, and he will still be an above-average third baseman by the end of this season. As long as the Royals stay committed to him, Gordon's rebound is not a question of if, but when and to what extent.
Kevin Kouzmanoff, 3B, SD -- Acquired from Cleveland for Josh Barfield, Kouzmanoff took over at third base, and was expected to be a reliable source of power and batting average. After 87 at-bats, however, he's hitting .115 and slugging .207 with only one home run -- and losing more and more at-bats to Russell Branyan. Will he get on track, or is he on the verge of a demotion?
Will: For Real. Kouzmanoff hit for high averages and plus power -- without striking out excessively -- at every minor league level. He's been astonishingly unlucky so far this year, with a hit percentage of only 15 percent on balls in play (compared with a major league average of 30 percent.) There's no reason to think that, like Gordon, he won't turn it around if the Padres are patient with him. Kouzmanoff's long-term prognosis as a hitter is still excellent. There's no guarantee, however, that the Padres won't give up on him too early. His situation is far more dire than Gordon's, for several reasons. Kouzmanoff isn't quite the blue-chipper that Gordon is. He's also on a team that perceives itself as a contender. Branyan's not a terrible short-term option, and the Padres will give him more playing time before they'll allow Kouzmanoff to stink it up for too much longer. Plus, in Chase Headley, David Freese and Matt Antonelli, the Padres have quality long-term third base options in their farm system. Kouzmanoff will be fine if the team allows him to play through his struggles, but he may not have that luxury. The bat is for real despite the slow start, but he's a very risky buy-low candidate in non-keeper leagues.
Adam: Unreal. Again, with Gordon, the question is not if Kouzmanoff rebounds, but when and to what extent. Gordon has youth and more natural talent on his side, and a longer leash to garner playing time. Kouzmanoff will turn 26 in July, and although his minor league stats are superb, he was quite old for his levels. His upside is significantly lower than Gordon's. He will rebound, but to what degree? A league-average third baseman? He has yet to provide evidence of even having that much upside, and since he is much closer to a finished product, you have to be more pessimistic about his fantasy chances, especially considering his home park is Petco.
Dustin Pedroia, 2B, BOS -- Boston replaced Mark Loretta with another high-effort second-sacker without great physical tools. Pedroia wasn't expected to provide much power or speed, but scouts and statheads alike believed that he could hit for average against all kinds of pitching. However, he's batting .256 and slugging just .372 so far this season. Is he overexposed, or is this just a slow start?
Will: For Real. Pedroia may never hit more than ten home runs in the majors, but he does have legitimate gap power and will hit lots of doubles. His contact rate is superb, his plate discipline is outstanding, and even this year he's walked twelve times to only seven strikeouts. He'll be a fine pro, although hitting for average will be his only plus skill. In Boston's potent lineup, however, that alone makes a player a valuable three-category fantasy commodity. He's already starting to warm up, batting almost .500 in May. The last chance to buy low is upon us.
Adam: For Real. The reason why Pedroia is not as well-liked as a lot of lesser prospects is because you can't dream on Pedroia like you can on, say, an Elijah Dukes. Pedroia is almost certainly going to be an above-average (if unsexy) second baseman, but he has little chance at becoming anything special. On the other hand, he has almost no chance of not becoming an everyday regular; take him for what he is and be happy. A solid second baseman who contributes in average and runs is nothing to scoff at. With the lack of superstars at the position, Pedroia fits in quite well.

Sir William Heberden was able to marvel about the nodes that now bear his name as "being hardly ever attended with pain, or disposed to become sores, [they] are rather unsightly than inconvenient."1 The notion that these symmetrical joint changes were noninflammatory and should perhaps not be thought of as arthritis was furthered by Stecher's2 classic description in 1948. Indeed, the term osteoarthritis was thought so inappropriate, because its suffix implied inflammation, that for a time the British substituted the term "osteoarthrosis" for it and American usage preferred "degenerative joint disease." It became popular to regard these joint changes as a consequence of aging, trauma, obesity, and use, ie, a "wear and tear" arthritis. Some instances in which clearly more than a single elderly abused joint or the range of terminal interphalangeal joints were involved were recognized under the name primary generalized osteoarthritis3; symmetricality and, at least

The Sleep Hack Neuroscience Says Gives Your Brain Optimal Rest
Sleep is critical for rest and rejuvenation. A human being will actually die of sleep deprivation before starvation--it takes about two weeks to starve, but only 10 days to die if you go without sleep.
The CDC has also classified insufficient sleep as a public health concern. Those who don't get enough sleep are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases that include hypertension, diabetes, depression, obesity, and cancer.
It's thus vital to get enough shuteye, but it turns out your sleep position also has a significant impact on the quality of rest you get.
Now, a neuroscience study suggests that of all sleep positions, one is most helpful when it comes to efficiently cleaning out waste from the brain: sleeping on your side.
The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, used dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to image the brain's "glymphatic pathway." This is the system by which cerebrospinal fluid filters through the brain and swaps with interstitial fluid (the fluid around all other cells in the body).
"It is interesting that the lateral [side] sleep position is already the most popular in humans and most animals--even in the wild," said University of Rochester's Maiken Nedergaard. "It appears that we have adapted the lateral sleep position to most efficiently clear our brain of the metabolic waste products that build up while we are awake."

Subtle Chemical Changes in Brain Can Alter Sleep-Wake Cycle
A study out today in the journal Science sheds new light on the biological mechanisms that control the sleep-wake cycle. Specifically, it shows that a simple shift in the balance of chemicals found in the fluid that bathes and surrounds brain cells can alter the state of consciousness of animals.
The study, which focuses on a collection of ions that reside in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), found that not only do these changes play a key role in stimulating or dampening the activity of nerve cells, but they also appear to alter cell volume causing brain cells to shrink while we sleep, a process that facilitates the removal of waste.
Understanding what drives arousal is essential to deciphering consciousness and the lack thereof during sleep,said Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., D.M.Sc., co-director of the University of Rochester Center for Translational Neuromedicine and lead author of the study.
We found that the transition from wakefulness to sleep is accompanied by a marked and sustained change in the concentration of key extracellular ions and the volume of the extracellular space.
The current scientific consensus is that the brain is
woken upby a set of neurotransmitters – which include compounds such as acetylcholine, hypocretin, histamine, serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine – that originate from structures deep within the brain and the brain stem. This cocktail of chemical messengers serve to activate – or arouse – a set of neurons in the cerebral cortex and other parts of the brain responsible for memory, thinking, and learning, placing the brain in a state of wakefulness.

Immune System Cells Key to Maintaining Blood-Brain Barrier
New research shows that the cells responsible for protecting the brain from infection and inflammation are also responsible for repairing the system of defenses that separates the brain from the rest of the body. These findings have significant clinical implications because certain cardiovascular drugs could possibly impede the brain's ability to repair itself after a stroke or other injury.
This study shows that the resident immune cells of the central nervous system play a critical and previously unappreciated role in maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier,said Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., D.M.Sc., co-director of the Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and lead author of the study.
When this barrier is breached it must be rapidly repaired in order to maintain the health of the brain and aid in recovery after an injury – a process that could be impaired by drugs that are intended to prevent this damage in the first place.

BYOD security involves trade-offs on both sides
Professor Alan Woodward says bring your own device requires a fresh approach to security
THE PHENOMENON of bring your own device (BYOD) is one of the most problematic in securing larger organisations. As we pass the point where more people in the world use mobile devices than personal computers to access the web, it is natural that they expect to be able to connect with their organisation on the move. It is convenient, and that is what technology should facilitate.
However, BYOD is just the latest in a long line of scenarios where the old dichotomy of convenience versus security re-emerges. Ensuring security should not make life onerous for users but at the same time there is little point in building a strong wall around your organisation only to allow people a backdoor through which authorised and unauthorised alike might enter.
The situation is compounded by how people feel about their mobile devices. They belong to them (hence BYOD) so they often feel that the organisation has no right to "mess" with the device. But, if an organisation is going to allow any device to connect to its network is there not a quid pro quo where that device must be subject to some level of scrutiny to ensure that it is not a danger to the organisation?
Does the organisation you are connecting to have further rights? For example, if data is downloaded onto the mobile device, or even if sensitive access details are available on the device, should the organisation have the right to force the owner to protect the device (with a PIN usually) and potentially wipe the entire device clean of data if circumstances dictate?
Most users would probably not know that their device is being health checked unless it is being refused access to a network, so that might be acceptable. However, I have lost count of the number of users I have heard complain that the organisation to which they wish to connect is "controlling their device".
I think BYOD is inevitable but we must be clear with users that the convenience it provides comes with some responsibilities, and whilst the organisation can provide safeguards, owners of devices must accept some overhead to ensure security.
External attackers do not attack a network head on but seek out the weakest link. If you allow users to subvert mainstream security by providing security holes via a BYOD policy then you may as well not bother with any of your security.
Having said that there is a good research to show that if security is made too inconvenient then users will subvert it anyway. This happens with BYOD, and the threshold of tolerance is lower as users see the device as their territory - most accept there may be a degree of overhead for attaching to a secure network but if it is seen as too invasive then users will find a way around it.
Security professionals have accepted this, and it is one of the reasons why ideas on security architecture have changed. Previously organisations erected a secure perimeter through which very few were allowed to pass. The increased connectivity between organisations has shown that if this border crossing is not to inconvenience users too much it has to have a light touch. But, of course, the lighter the security, the more chance you have of an unwanted visitor inside your perimeter. Hence organisations increasingly adopt a "defence in depth" approach: really precious data is secured individually rather than just relying on the perimeter defences. Rather like a castle where you have an outer wall but also an inner "keep". The "inconvenience" passes to the organisation rather than the user.
However, even the most advanced security architectures still require the user (or more particularly their device) to have more than the default security settings. And, it is still true that if you allow someone to take away that "previous" data then it is outside of your control unless you as an organisation have the ability to wipe it from the device.
We have a situation where despite the various technical solutions available, if a user is given access to the crown jewels of an organisation they must, quite simply, take a level of responsibility which means allowing their devices to be controlled. The corollary is that if a user wants general access but not access to the most valuable data then they can be left on a lower level of security.
Once organisations have made a conscious decision as to whether they allow BYOD, then they need to realise that the line of what users find acceptable security will shift so that they need to rethink how they approach security. This may be no bad thing. It is common for organisations to adopt a "one size fits all" approach to security yet when a detailed audit is done of what is protected, some is of little or no real value.
Perhaps BYOD offers us an opportunity where we may actually be able to please all the people all the time, but it takes non-trivial amounts of upfront effort to examine what you secure, how, and develop a security policy that considers that balance of convenience and security to be a little more fluid than perhaps it has been in the past.
But, it is a balance and not an opportunity for users to abrogate responsibility. We have seen many high profile breaches and most come down to the fallibility of us humans. Whilst we think we are not subject to attack, and that we would not make that mistake which leads to leaking sensitive data, it takes only one person to make one mistake.
If security is to be adjusted to make BYOD more convenient the organisation has to accept that it will cost a significant amount to implement such a new approach properly. Likewise users have to accept that with access to sensitive data comes responsibility. Everyone has a part to play in security and that includes in accepting that BYOD is something of a concession and that this means that users must play their part.
Everyone need to remember that BYOD, whilst highly attractive, is not a fait accompli. Organisations could always deny such access and allow the use of only their own equipment, managed and controlled by them. For some organisations, this may be the right answer. It will only happen properly where both the organisation involved and the users both see a benefit, and that will take a bit of give and take from all concerned. µ

In my previous post, I asked what the West can do about Islamic State, other than waging war on them.
The answer begins with a simple, but difficult change of approach on our part. Instead of seeing them as terrorists, think of them as people who do terrorism. If you think of them as people, some of whom at least may not have gone out intending to kill innocents, then you start to see possible ways of starting to defuse the threat they pose, by draining their support. (Some of these are already being advocated, or even done, despite their lack of appeal to the media, because, I hope, many of those set over us don't actually believe the rhetoric they feed to the tabloids.) For example:
Once you think of the enemy as human, strategies for dealing with him open up. They involve a lot of effort, some of it painful and much of it counter-intuitive. But they have two great advantages over blitzing him, his neighbours and his kids. (Or demonising him, which makes the blitzing more probable – whatever the government says about "no boots on the ground".) These strategies are a lot less striking, from a media perspective, and they make our leaders look much less aggressively heroic; but they reduce the risk of British soldiers dying. And, unlike aggressive heroism, they might reduce the risk to civilians too.

Quick n00b OSSIM question. I've looked around but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I currently have a Nagios, OSSEC, Nessus, and Snort server and I want to keep those servers active but just ship the logs to the OSSIM server and have it do the correlating and graphing. Can that be done? Everything I've seen is putting the various software functions actually on the OSSIM box but I don't want to do that. I'm running CentOS on all of the systems. Thanks.
Nagios, OSSEC, Snort, and Nessus can all log to syslog. Which you could then use to forward the logs to the OSSIM server. Should work fine once all the logs are arriving there.

I sold my BOBE stock about a year ago and got $37+ a share for for it, and very glad I made the move.BOBE will continue to drop as most restaurants will do the same.How can the restaurant stock earnings increase when people are struggle to buy gas and groceries? Sell BOBE before it falls out of bed like the financials are doing.Be smart and think about it.THE GOOD CHICKEN
ChickyYou have been found John Adams.I will let your buddies from the cbrl board know your whereabouts. Enjoy your scooter and don't leave home without your gps.
Chicken- Didn't you say you sold all you shares years ago, what's the deal did you forget something somewhere?
Yes, you read this one right. Now the question is bottom of this market? I assume investors are cautious about cathching this falling knife?In the past investors took comfort in the Bob Evans book value--about $20--with the land on the books at cost, and now inflated to current value. BUT today those values may not be all that much over the cost on the books? I also sold my stake two plus years ago, but am somewhat impressed with the way the company continues to reinvent itself with menu selections. I still go to B/E for a pretty good value meal. Where else can you get a nice salmon, baked potato and salad for under $10? Cheerio to all--have a good Lord's Day

I am searching for information on algorithms to process text sentences or to follow a structure when creating sentences that are valid in a normal human language such as English. I would like to know if there are projects working in this field that I can go learn from or start using.
For example, if I gave a program a noun, provided it with a thesaurus (for related words) and part-of-speech (so it understood where each word belonged in a sentence) - could it create a random, valid sentence?
I'm sure there are many sub-sections of this kind of research so any leads into this would be great.

Why is Starbucks building coffee shops that promote discrimination against women?
As a former shareholder (500 shares, I'm in that movie where the .com guys bike into the shareholder meeting), and potentially a future shareholder, I want to know.
Starbucks might actually have the pull to effect change there, in small ways. I'd love to see this turn into something that could get the public attention of the corporate HQ.
I hear the Bear Claws in the Saudi Starbucks are called "Camel Toes".
I guess this is the reporter's first trip to Saudi Arabia. She's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer if she's so suprised at how the Saudis treat women. And Fnarf, if there's one thing we Americans should have learned over the years is that people from the Middle East don't like it when we tell them how to live. Ya know what I'm sayin?
I thought this was par for the course everywhere in Saudi Arabia. If so, this isn't news.
It's hard to read about the treatment of women in the muslim world and maintain my carefully crafted veneer of judgment-free multiculturalism.
I find a difference in "oh, women are oppressed in Saudi Arabia" and hearing it from a first-hand perspective -- particularly since we so rarely hear from the Saudi women themselves.
Oppression of women is not a particularly new practise, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hear about it. It's because it happens all the time that we shouldn't dismiss it so readily out of hand.
"uneasy face"? "sumptuous lap "? "hissed the voice"?
Was this written by Dan Brown? Boy is that bad writting...
And where was a starbucks ever "improbable"?
Wow, everyone seems so blase about how women are treated in Saudi America.
No, this is not "news" per se. But I still found her article fascinating and well worth the read.
And no, if you read the article, you'll find that she's been reporting for the LA Times from Saudi Arabia for several years.
Personally, I applaud her, because I don't think I could handle ten minutes in Riyadh.
people from the Middle East don't like it when we tell them how to live.
Sure, but that doesn't necessarily make it ethical for Starbucks to conduct business there in a manner that doesn't respect all of their customers.
Consider the case of apartheid South Africa; the US didn't invade them to "tell them how to live", but - no thanks to the Reagan administration - many US corporations didn't do business there, putting pressure on the country's government to respect the human rights of all of its inhabitants.
Starbucks might actually have the pull to effect change there, in small waysROFLMAO.
As someone who has picked up a lot of girls at starbucks, I just want to say these Saudi guys are not getting their moneys worth on that coffee...
Fucking savages...
If she's been there for years, she should have known that she wasn't supposed to sit there.
Obviously, I find it reprehensible, but what are you gonna do?
The next paragraph tells us that the incident happenend four years ago. I doubt anything has changed, but this is hardly "news".
Wow. Y'know... Jason @ 5 is right, it's not 'news', because I know how women are treated in Saudi Arabia, I know I'd never go there in a million years, and I'm disgusted by the treatment of women in a lot of places, but especially the Middle East lately... it's not news, and it shouldn't be shocking, but at the same time it is: it's shocking to see that something so unabashedly American as a Starbucks can be, I guess, bastardised. I'm not trying to be alarmist but geez... I'm a woman with a caffiene addiction. If I was, for one reason or another, in Saudi Arabia and saw a Starbucks, I'd feel a little bit more at home. Being told I can't stay there because I have tits and a uterus, that's like ordering a latte and recieving a punch in the face.
I guess we need to complain to Starbucks because they are more likely to listen to complaints than the U.S. State department. Saudi Arabia's treatment of women is just marginally better than the Taliban.
Next thing you know the Saudis will be telling the disabled they can't ride express buses.
@ 13? What are you gonna do?
Well, I don't know about you, but I just wrote a letter to Starbucks:
Shaniqua, you may think that they "don't like it when we tell them how to live", or that what they like matters somehow, but it doesn't mean we should roll over when they try to impose their oppression on our institutions.
You can't have it both ways; you can live in the modern world, or you can live in the medieval one. Starbucks is the modern world, and in the modern world -- regardless of what people in Saudi Arabia think -- barring women is wrong.
They're wrong. They're no other way to say it. Sometimes "cultural sensitivity" is just wrong. Their interpretation of their beliefs is at odds with the truth. If they want to carry on that way, fine, but if they want the Starbucks logo on it, THEY MUST CHANGE. Not Starbucks. Human rights are not negotiable.
Starbucks must be made to see this as well. They should open both sides to women, or they should pull out of the country, period.
Saudis have been getting a free ride from America too long.
The problem really isn't American companies making money off of Saudis while following local custom. The bigger problem is Saudi companies making money off of Americans.
Do you know where you buy your gas from?
Unfortunately, it isn't always easy to find out. I know I stick to BP (British Petroleum) as much as I can. I hate helping to fund countries that practice sexual aparteid.
At some point in time Saudi women will stand up, throw off their veils and demand to be treated as humans. African slaves did it here in America, Gay-Americans are doing it now, American women did it last century. Many other peoples/groups/clans have done it/are doing it/will do it. If for one second you expect the power-elite to give up power with out a fight you're really cute but oh so dumb. It's time for Saudi Women to stand up for Saudi women (as many are doing). Our words won't help, and only when Americans stop buying Saudi Oil will be have the power to effect change there.
The best way to affect change in the Middle East is to be patient and keep the exchange of commerce, information, and media flowing. As long as they are engaged with the west, modernization will inevitably follow.
Hardball tactics will only drive them backwards.
sargon, you're counting on men not outright killing women that do such a thing. it became distasteful to kill slaves, women and homos at some point along the way.
As Hitchens put it, "Religion ruins everything," including Starbucks.
Bullshit, that sounds like blatant U.S. imperialism propaganda, policing and "freeing" the Middle East with "democracy." Let them drive themselves.
"only when Americans stop buying Saudi Oil will we have the power to effect change there."
Not quite. Oil is the only thing propping up the monarchy, and if you kick away that crutch, Saudi Arabia will become another isolated wilderness run by brutal Islamic fanatics, just like Afghanistan.
We can debate whether that's preferable to the monarchy, but history suggests we have more influence over countries with whom we are economically and socially engaged.
I highly doubt writing to Starbucks is going to change the thousands of years of women being kept down in the middle east. But you might get a coupon for a free latte, so it could be worth something.
@21: Right, when the US stops buying Saudi oil we'll be able to influence them...
First, that's unlikely to happen until they have no more oil to sell. Second, if we did stop buying their oil- they'd pay even less attention to us because they'd be selling it to China or India instead.
No, but it might convince Starbucks to pull out of Saudi Arabia.
Right, that's exactly my point - let them make their own decisions about how to run their country. No western arrogance, imperialism, bombs, or boycotts.
If, in the meantime, we keep the exchange of goods and information open, they will modernize themselves.
Can Starbucks at the very least do something about that terrible burnt taste their coffee has?
"If she's been there for years, she should have known that she wasn't supposed to sit there."
That's like saying Rosa Parks should never have sat in the front of the bus, because she "knew better."
#31 - I said that very thing to a Starbucks exec once, that I wouldn't drink their coffee because I think they overroast the beans. I got this big indignant spiel about how "uneducated" American taste buds are, not to know that burnt coffee is "obviously" better. C'est la vie - I'll keep buying coffee that appeals more to my "uneducated" taste buds. Used to be Seattle's Best, but the Borg bought them out and will probably start burning their beans any day now, too.
But if you're Bene Gesserit, can't you just alter the chemical composition of the drink yourself?
Unfortunately, the effect of these sorts of stories on U.S. readers seems to amount to more of the same "those people are savages" sentiment used to justify the Iraq war, given that most people (commenters here included) don't seem capable of drawing distinctions between one Arabic (or even Muslim) country and another. The U.S. has been an enthusiastic supporter of the oil-rich medieval monarchy in Saudi Arabia for a long time, in spite of their egregious human rights record (in fact, if you remember back to the first Gulf War, you may recall that defending Saudi Arabia was foremost among the reasons given for waging that war.)
So yes, treatment of women in Saudi Arabia (even in their Starbucks) is apalling, and yes your tax dollars are helping to arm the tyrants who keep it that way, and no U.S. foreign policy doesn't show any evidence of giving any weight human rights in general or treatment of women in particular when deciding which countries are our friends and which are our enemies (after all, treatment of women in pre-invasion Iraq was among the best in the region.)
Just bringing this up next time you see a story like this offered as justification for another ill-considered military campaign against the Islamo-fascist menace: If the U.S. were sincere in its desire to alleviate the suffering of women in the Arab world, we would not be in bed with Saudi Arabia. They probably wouldn't even have a Starbucks.
And to those saying we should just leave it alone and wait for trade with the West to work its magical Democratizing benefits, what the hell are you smoking? Since when did being able to buy Coca Cola democratize anything?
Starbucks needs to either convert all their coffee shops in Saudi Arabia to "Family Style" or shut them down.
There are limits.
NEWSFLASH: Americans who have a problem with non-American foreigners doing their foreign customs... while abroad in said foreign land. America is shocked that the perfection of American society is not patterned the world over. America is shocked that all its goodwill acts are not appreciated by the world at-large and confusingly refuses to adopt the perfect American way of life.
Good money bets that reporter is 1) White 2)Anglo-Saxon 3) Protestant 4) viewed the particular reporting assignment as an upwardly mobile "good career" move 5) secretly loathes muslim culture 6) states public she is tolerant and all for that diversity stuff 7) states to close friends and family that tolerance and diversity really conflicts with "good Christian" Bible teachings, (but what can she do?)and 8) goes to those underground Christian churches, which are illegal in Saudi Arabia, but feels that God commands her to disregard the laws and moral customs of her host country, because America really knows and does everything the best.
Next on the News... an American is shocked to learn that the rest of the world does not live on a 4000 cal. diet, yet the rest of the world "claims" to be healthier than America
@15: Wow, me and other Monique have more in common than just a name...
I totally agree. It may not be anything new, as "family " sections are practically the norm in Saudi, but its still fucking awful.
Booooo Starbucks.
If only robbery and murder could come under "foreign customs", I'd be made!
Funny, I've always seen it the opposite way. Americans clearly love the burnt taste, otherwise Starbucks would never have spread beyond Washington state. That indicates to me that Americans have lousy palates and can't tell the difference between burnt coffee and good coffee. I doubt they could even tell the difference between robusta and arabica.
#33-I have a friend who bases her coffee choice on brands rather than taste. She turns her nose up at coffees she's never even tried. I think she feels that somehow Starbucks is sophisticated and the best. So, there's an example of a totally "educated" Starbucks coffee fan. THE SHIT IS BURNT.
As Bene Gesserit, my powers are more suited to other tasks than fixing poor coffee.
only people in seattle would debate the taste of coffee so passionately while the rest of the country is happy to drink whatever is given.
Wow, a segregated Starbucks. Do they have segregated public schools, different insurance and service costs based on sex, different pay rates based on sex, etc? That would be really savage.
Nice 1 @42. Bellevue Ave, shouldn't your comment be that they need to appease their oppressors? That was your shtick the other day.
Do you like being wrong in your predictive modelling of my ideas?
I don't think anything can be done that doesn't make the situation worse for them or for us.
Phenics @36: Do you believe that women should have the right to wear what they want in public and vote and drive and otherwise generally be treated as adults? If not, why not, and why should any reporter, be they WASP or otherwise, agree with you?
This isn't a question of cultural imperialism- it's a question of human rights.
Coming soon, in the South, Starbucks with Whites Only counters ...
Better convert to family style, is all I'm saying, cause this is a PR disaster waiting to explode ...
if we could get the saudi women to move off to one side, i'd be in favor of destroying SA's infrastructure of air-conditioned modernism, and that of the tackiest place on earth, Dubai, the home of Michael Jackson, as we pull out of iraq.
This is great coming from the publication that thinks protesters demanding higher wages, better working conditions and the right to organize in the developing world are stupid. Does the Stranger staff think women in overseas factories get maternity leave? It just goes to show, attach gays, women, or muslims to a story, and suddenly it matters to the Stranger.
Just wondering, in Saudi Arabia does the Starbucks mermaid wear a burqa?
Well Jamier, since Saudi women are not allowed to drive, your insurance postulation is moot.
Maybe America should just butt out of other countries life styles and work on making America's standards, freedoms, and laws so freakin desirable that other nationals demand the same of their governments. America needs to stop being the world's police, nanny, arms dealer, fashion model, mother, father, what ever...you get the idea.
Yeah, it's none of our business if other countries want to practice slavery (still going on in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states despite being made illegal in 1964), or topple walls on homosexuals, or imprisoning women for years as prostitutes for letting a wisp of hair escape the veil. Torture and murder are fair game, right?
I think America wastes its efforts on making sure that values such as McDonalds, stupid TV shows and Frankenfood. A bit exaggerated, but there's a big push for cultural domination through the marketplace. With Saudi Arabia, the emphasis is on getting their oil and was on having our troops there (though we pulled our troops out in 2003ish.)
That said, this policy does remind me of South Africa of 20 years ago. There's a good 2001 column by Colbert King of the Washington Post to that effect at http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A15193-2001Dec21?language=printer
Why is she there? Let's see . . . could it be the huge salaries offered in Saudi, or that she couldn't get a job anywhere else as a reporter (talk about bad writing). I live on the Arabian Peninsula - do I love being treated as a second class citizen because I'm a woman? Of course not. Do I love my huge tax free salary I earn at my (by American standards) part-time job? You bet your sweet ass I do. It's their country, as disgusting as you may find it it's not your business. She's got her own personal reasons to be there I'm sure. You can't have it both ways.

Whatever is a multiculturalist liberal to do?! One could lambaste Starbucks for not globalizing enough, i.e. imperially enforcing American standards of equal treatment for women on the mores of the natives. Or one could applaud Starbucks's reprehensible and savage disrespect for women; after all, we wouldn't want to let any equal rights policy of an American homogenizing corporate behemoth raze the quaint local customs that degrade and mistreat women.
I'm sure too many on the Left prefer multiculturalism and corporation-bashing to the promotion of human rights and the equal dignity of women.
For Saudi society, what we call "human rights" they will rightly call cultural "imperialism" and "globalization". The world could use some more globalization.
It isn't clear to me how you could be in Saudi Arabia for 4 years and then suddenly notice that everything is segregated. That would be like living in Barrow Alaska for 4 years and suddenly noticing it is cold outside.
"Just wondering, in Saudi Arabia does the Starbucks mermaid wear a burqa?"
The Starbucks mermaid is not used in Saudi Arabia because the sylized woman is considered pornographic there. I believe what is inside the middle of the logo is a crown.
As a liberal who has traveled to dozens of countries on five continents (including many Muslim nations), I don't want to impose my cultural beliefs onto other people and tell them how to live their lives.
However, my desire to not impose my beliefs runs into a brick wall when people are oppressed or hurt.
Desire to not impose beliefs was used to justify slavery as well as Apartheid in South Africa.
The only thing tolernce is not tolerent of is intolerence.
Women are people too, and accepting that they are not as a matter to not offend would be like accpeting that the stoning of the 15 year old girl is Iraqi Kurdistan is acceptable because it is their way of life.
Starbucks, like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and every other foreign and American company that set up shop there lacked spine.
When Dunkin' Donuts opened up in Saudi Arabia they refused to segregate. Dunkin Donuts have only one entrance and one area to order and sit.
As far as I know, they are the only US chain to do this. But, if Dunkin Donuts can do it, then I think McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Starbucks and everyone else can as well.
That said, I know many women who choose to wear a hijab (headscarf) out of choice. I know sisters where one dresses in Mudd jeans with bebe tops and the other more conservatively with a headscarf.
I think when nations make laws that women cannot wear headscarves they are being quite intolerant.
In France they said that "We have banned religous articles in schools, and therefore Christian's can't wear crosses and Muslims can't wear headscarves, same thing."
Except, of course, that France is wrong. The girls and women who wear headscarves feel that they are relgious and are conforming to the values of their religion.
Christianity does not require, suggest, or compel that anyone wear a cross.
Many of my best friends are Muslim and many are the finest people I know. This attempt to place a stigma on all Muslims as being fundamentalist wackos is harmful to Muslims living in this country and harmful to our relations with others.

We describe here the nanoscale hybrid architecture of polyethylene crystals directly nucleated on three different forms of nanostructured carbon, namely, carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, and single-walled carbon nanohorns. The hybrid architecture exhibits structural stability such that they act as potential nucleants for subsequent nucleation and growth of polymer crystals. It is intriguing that the structural morphology of polyethylene crystals vary on the three forms of nanostructured carbon even though they are structurally similar. The underlying differences in structural morphology and the mechanism of crystallization are discussed. The intriguing observations open the gateway for effective utilization of different nanostructured carbon in a polymer matrix, without influencing their inherent properties.

RSA CONFERENCE 2011 – SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – February 17, 2011 – The Federal PKI Policy Authority (FPKIPA) has certified Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) as the first vendor authorized to issue Personal Identity Verification-Interoperable (PIV-I) smartcards. By earning FPKIPA certification, Symantec can issue identity credentials on PIV-I smartcards to government contractors, state and local governments, first responders and health care providers – effectively any organization that interoperates or does business with the Federal government, including the Department of Defense (DOD).
Symantec officially earned its certification on December 12, 2010, when the FPKIPA voted to approve the VeriSign® Non-Federal SSP PKI for cross-certification with the Federal Bridge Certification Authority at the new PIV-I assurance level. The approval followed extensive policy compliance and interoperability testing, which included a certification of PIV-I smartcards from two Symantec PIV-I customer deployments: Booz Allen Hamilton, a top 10 Federal integrator; and ICF International, a global professional services firm.
"We are deploying PIV-I cards to replace our employee badges because they provide the PKI technology that not only secures our enterprise transactions but also enables strong access control at our physical facilities," said Joe Mahaffee, executive vice president at Booz Allen Hamilton. "By choosing a PIV-I solution with a managed PKI service, we avoided the costly and time consuming effort of developing our own credentialing system. Our Booz Allen Hamilton identity credentials can now be trusted by our Federal government clients for online transactions and access to high security facilities."
Approval as the first certified PIV-I issuer means organizations can now rely on Symantec's VeriSign Non-Federal SSP PKI, along with the Intercede's MyID® Card Management System, to issue and manage fraud-resistant and cost-effective PIV-I credentials. The Symantec PIV-I solution makes it easy for organizations to issue high assurance credentials for trusted and seamless interactions with Federal agencies such as the DOD.
"Our partnership with Symantec's PKI team enables the delivery of a proven solution for the new and fast growing PIV-I market," said Richard Parris, chief executive, Intercede Ltd.
"Deploying our own PIV-I solution positions us to provide private sector clients with the same identity, credentialing and access management services that we have been providing our Federal PIV clients," said William Jacob, senior vice president, ICF International. "We believe that the implementation of Symantec's PIV-I solution will be important to ICF International customers."
PIV-I smartcards are expected to become a key part of the identity ecosystem envisioned in the Obama Administration's National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. To issue these strong identification smartcards to first responders alone will require more than 25 million smartcards, according to an estimate by the Department of Homeland Security.1
"Symantec is proud to be the first vendor approved by the Federal PKI Policy Authority as a PIV-I smartcard provider," said Nick Piazzola, senior director of Government Authentication Solutions at Symantec. "With the Federal government encouraging government contractors, state and local governments and first responders to adopt PIV-I, the availability of a proven, certified solution from Symantec means these organizations can roll out PIV-I credentialing programs quickly and efficiently."
Identity Management Takes a Front Row Seat at RSA
At RSA Conference 2011, Symantec is participating in two track sessions. At 4:00 p.m., Thursday, February 17, 2011, Francis deSouza, senior vice president of Enterprise Security Group at Symantec, will moderate a panel titled: "Who Are You? When Security Hinges on Identity." That panel includes Michael Waters, Manager Enterprise Security at Booz Allen Hamilton.
