DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. -- Tricky weather made organizers scramble and kept crowds light on Friday at the Rodeo Weekend Music Festival on Dauphin Island, but the first-time event succeeded at providing some memorable musical moments.
"Like they say, 'The Dude abides,'" said volunteer organizer Gene Gabel toward the end of the day, referring to the laid-back protagonist of the movie "The Big Lebowski." "Well, we abided."
The festival is being presented by the town of Dauphin Island in conjunction with the 81st Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo. Saturday is its biggest day, with about two dozen performances scattered among about a dozen venues, including a number of restaurants and other businesses and the Rodeo site itself between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Most performances are free. The music itself spans a wide variety of genres, including country, tropical steel drum music, folk and rock, plus a series of Christian acts playing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Dauphin Island Baptist Church.
After a midafternoon deluge on Friday, organizers had to relocate a couple of outdoor events, but the resulting delays were minor and no performances were canceled. Though turnout was light for most shows, curious patrons did get to enjoy some real treats.
Early Friday, Markus Fox delivered an amiable waterside set on the deck at JT's Sunset Grill, with the action at the Rodeo site visible in the background. The laid-back setting gave Fox the freedom to tell stories about everything from his experiences in Nashville to the way his military service in Afghanistan and Iraq provides songwriting subject matter.
The young members of The Stereo Dogs rocked out to a poolside audience at Pirate's Pleasure, part of the Isle Dauphine complex, followed later in the day by local favorite Ryan Balthrop. But as congenial as that surfside venue was, the place to be on Friday arguably was Mack 'n' DD's Emporium, a business within walking distance of the Rodeo site.
Mack and DD's has a large breezeway and covered porch that turned the weather into an actual asset: Listeners sat comfortably in the dry, enjoying the breeze as the rain came and went outside. Leland Clay played an affable, upbeat set of folk, deep blues and reggae, and then listeners got a real bonus: Because of the rain, Delta Reign's planned show across the street at the island's Water Tower was relocated to Mack 'n' DD's.
The result was a keepsake memory for the few lucky enough to be on the scene. Delta Reign, which blends traditional bluegrass with a distinctive hint of Western swing, has drawn national notice in bluegrass and Americana circles. This concert was like having one of the Gulf Coast's best bluegrass bands playing a house concert on your front porch.
The capstone for the day was laid at about 9:45 p.m., when Gretsch Lyles and the Modern Eldorados played at Pirate's Pleasure. Like the Delta Reign show, this one had been moved to a smaller venue. Instead of a pavilion in the sand, the group was playing on a small poolside stage.
But the Eldorados didn't scale down their music. There might have been a puddle in front of the tiny stage, but the band still sported sharp matching suits and an impeccable precision as it delivered its classic honky-tonk country. The payoff was one of the biggest audiences of the day.
Most of Saturday's performances either take place indoors, or at venues where they easily can be moved indoors. One exception is the island's West End Beach, where three acts are scheduled to appear, including a sunset concert by The Mulligan Brothers at 6 p.m. Organizers indicated that, as on Friday, they'd attempt to proceed as planned if weather permitted, but come up with a "Plan B" if necessary.
Tips for spectators:
There is no charge to visit the Rodeo site as a spectator. Most music festival performances are also free, including all the outdoor concerts at the Rodeo site and the Island's public spaces. It's possible that some club shows will carry small cover charges, and there are parking fees at some sites.
Finding a parking space close by the Rodeo site can be a challenge at peak times, but there is ample parking on the island. Don't park in areas clearly marked "no parking," and otherwise use your best judgment.
Bicycles are a good way to get around the island. However, they are not allowed inside the rodeo site.
Visitors may bring chairs and coolers into the Rodeo site, but not pets or glass containers. The weigh station operates from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday; mid to late afternoon tends to be the most active time.
Glass containers also are prohibited on the island's public beaches. Dogs are allowed on most beaches, but not the West End Beach, where they pose a threat to nesting bird habitat, Jongewaard said.
From 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, a free shuttle service will run from Green Park, near the water tower, to the West End Beach.
The schedule of performances follows. According to organizers, schedules and directions will be available at the Rodeo site.

Kosher — to go
We talk to the entrepreneurs reviving the kosher-sandwich market
If you keep kosher, finding lunch or a snack on-the-go is not easy. Unless you work in a predominantly Jewish area, it is not so simple to grab a quick sandwich or salad during the working day or on a day out.
Your can eat in an approved restaurant (difficult outside certain areas), eat at home, or plan ahead and pack yourself a kosher snack. Most likely your only option would be the packed lunch.
One couple spotted this gap in the market. In 1990, Hatton Garden jewellers David and Debby Colman found the jewellery market "a bit slow" and so decided to divide their shop in two — one half selling kosher sandwiches, the other jewellery. Their sandwich business did so well the jewellery had to go. Their success attracted the interest of the big guns. Safeways was first to retail DD's sandwiches, followed by Tesco, Sainsbury's, Selfridges and Waitrose.
In 1995, the sandwich store was sold (to another kosher caterer) and DD's moved to an industrial unit in Tottenham Hale. The business has flourished and recently merged with Hermolis & Co Ltd — Europe's largest kosher-food manufacturer.
DD's manufactures 4,000 units a day — sandwiches, salads, baguettes and bagels. The merger and economies of scale have also allowed DD's to put off increasing sandwich prices, which despite the rising cost of ingredients "we haven't increased in four years". The company is also looking at investing in biodegradable packaging.
As well as packaged sandwiches, salads and fruit salads, it produces sandwich platters, all of which are approved by Kedassia and the Beth Din and are also Halal. They can be found in outlets in and around London and are also available in Heathrow's Terminal 1, 4 and via Caffé Nero in the notorious Terminal 5. Further afield, Habers in Manchester and Gees Kosher Butchers in Birmingham stock them. Top-selling sandwich is salt beef with pickles and wholegrain mustard.
Another foodie couple to have entered this arena are Natalie Salama-Levy and husband Lionel Salama, who run Adafina, a gourmet delicatessen in London's St John's Wood. The delicatessen was recently included in Time Out's Top 10 London delicatessens — a first for a kosher outlet.
Salama-Levy's background was sourcing fine chocolates for top stores. She grew up in Hendon and moved to St John's Wood when she married.
"I found myself trekking to Hendon and back for my kosher grocery shopping," she says. "I thought I can't be the only one." And so she decided to open a kosher store. A site was found in Abbey Road and in 2006 the store opened.
The modern premises are stocked with kosher staples as well as a range of ready meals. The Salamas believe that kosher food can be gourmet, too. Says Salama-Levy: "In the US, kosher food is aspirational and bought by Jews and non-Jews, and we think it should be like that here." The US kosher market is growing at a rate of 10 to 15 percent per year.
One of her regulars was so impressed with the food, he sent his office canteen manager at Goldman Sachs to take a look. Adafina now supplies Goldman's and several other City banks daily with kosher lunchtime fare.
Their current range of parev sandwiches and salads includes bagels filled with smoked salmon and soya cream cheese, salt beef and pickle on seedy wholemeal bread, egg mayonnaise on grainy bread as well as a wrap filled with hummus and roasted vegetables. It changes seasonally.
The packaging is biodegradable and the food itself has won praise from the banking fraternity. It is also sold in gourmet delicatessen Villandry and can now be found in Selfridges Food Hall — on display in a dedicated kosher fridge.
And if summer ever arrives, Adafina also makes up bespoke picnic hampers.

Miller to Orioles for E. Rodriguez
The Orioles have acquired left-handed reliever Andrew Miller from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for one of their top pitching prospects in Eduardo Rodriguez. The deal is a bit of a departure for the O's in dealing one of the young pitchers but isn't completely a shock. Rodriguez has had a down year, along with an injury, and the organization had been down on the young lefty some in 2014.
Miller fills a need for the Orioles, giving them a left-handed reliever who can defend himself against lefties and righties. A free agent at the end of the season, Miller has a 2.34 ERA and has struck out 69 in 42 1/3 innings pitched this season. The 29-year-old has held righties to a .180./.279/.258 line and lefties to a .150/.203/.217 line.
Rodriguez, 21, is ranked as the O's No. 3 prospect, and missed more than a month with a knee sprain suffered while lifting weights. He has pitched to a 4.79 ERA at Double-A Bowie although there were some internal questions about his worth ethic in coming back from the injury. Still he is a young, cheap left-handed pitcher with a lot of upside and has been one of the youngest players invited to big league camp the past two seasons.
The trade was first reported by ESPN.

Kind and compassionate people offer help
The effectiveness of the newspaper was certainly proven beyond a doubt. On the first day, hardly before the ink was dry, we had a response to our ad asking for a donor of a computer for Canterbury Square Condominium.
Not only did we have a donor, but it was delivered by a delightful man named Michael Hooper, and his wife and two daughters.
It demonstrates beyond a doubt that there are still kind and compassionate people out there who would like to help. Thanks again.

I went to the Codejunkies firmware page for the Action Replay DSi, and when I tried to download the firmware I first get a box saying that there is a problem with what I selected, then I get a box that SHOULD let me download the program, but all I get is a Firmware VCL Media file program that does nothing at all.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix it so I can download the firmware, or is there another website I could go to get the download?
Platinum Friend Code: 5027 6566 3904
Is the "Firmware VCL Media file program" a .bin file ?
If so, then it IS the firmware.
VLC installer associates .bin files with VLC by default if you don't uncheck the option, but that's not a problem ; a firmware file is a firmware file, whetever program it is associated with.
But when I open the .bin file, all I get is a little rectangle box with button icons on it, and when I enlarge the box, there's nothing but gray blankness in it. None of the buttons do anything when I push them either.
Platinum Friend Code: 5027 6566 3904
You're not supposed to open or run the *.bin file.
What you need to do is start up the Action Replay Code Manager PC Software on your computer. You need to have the Action Replay connected to your computer for this step.
Now drag the firmware file onto the gray bar on top of the Action Replay Code Manager PC Software window and then it should update your firmware.

As Major League Baseball takes centerstage tonight in San Francisco, today's Alumni Report takes a look at former Syracuse players that played in the majors for teams other than the Blue Jays during the first half of the season and how they performed.
Right-handed pitcher Chad Gaudin ('05) was one of baseball's biggest sup rises during the first half of the season. Gaudin, who spent the '06 season in the Oakland bullpen, was elevated to starter status with an injury to Esteban Loaiza and ended up finishing the first half with an ERA of 2.88, which ranked him 8th among all Major League pitchers. The Louisiana native also went 8-3 and struck out 68 batters in his 18 starts.
Outfielder Shannon Stewart had a solid first half hitting .309 with 7 HR, 26 RBI and 8 SB.

First of all congratulations to Chiefs outfielder Chad Mottola for collecting his 1,000th career RBI in Sunday's game. Check out Chad's comments about the accomplishment in a nice story by Donnie Webb in today's Post Standard and also on milb.com. (Interesting picture of Chad in the milb.com story)
Congratulations to County Executive Nick Pirro for pulling a bill last week that would have put field turf in Alliance Bank Stadium for next year and taking more time to consider grass.
Congratulations to you the fans of baseball in Syracuse who along with many articles by Bud Poliquin voiced a strong opinion publicly in favor of grass.
Congratulations to former SkyChiefs manager Omar Malave who collected his 1,000th Minor League win this week, all in the Blue Jays organization.
Congratulations to Columbus outfielder Brandon Watson on breaking a long standing IL record yesterday by extending his current hitting streak to 43 games. 8 of the 43 unfortunately came against Syracuse.
Congratulations to former SkyChiefs 3B Casey Blake who extended his current hit streak with the Cleveland Indians to a Major League-leading 26 games with a hit on Sunday. And apologies to Casey for leaving him off the current Chiefs poll of which former Syracuse player has the best chance of making his first Major League All-Star game. Blake is now hitting .281 with 10 HR and 35 RBI.
Congratulations to Huntsville Stars GM and former SkyChiefs front office member Tom Van Schaack on winning the Southern League's North Division in the first half.

JACKSON, MI – Phrases like "flying under the radar" don't adequately describe what must be the best almost-unknown museum in Michigan and beyond.
It's Ye Ole Carriage Shop, a spectacular collection of vintage cars and early-to-mid 20th Century memorabilia that this year marks a quarter century in its Spring Arbor building.
No billboards point visitors to Ye Ole Carriage Shop, which is is open only by appointment with owners Lloyd and Judi Ganton for groups of 10 or more.
"We don't advertise," said Lloyd Ganton. "It's all word of mouth." A statewide business leader once toured the museum and declared it Michigan's hidden treasure. He was right.
Sixty automobiles collected by Lloyd Ganton, founder of a chain of nursing homes and assisted-living centers, are on display. One car is the very same 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline-Fastback he drove as a teenager.
Ganton began showing his cars to visitors in the 1970s and built the current museum in 1989. It has been expanded over the years to 20,000 square feet in seven rooms.
Fifteen Jackson-made cars at the museum were made by hand during the city's brief glory days of automobile manufacturing.
"Jackson was intended to be the automotive capital of the world in 1910," Lloyd Ganton said. Then assembly lines put Jackson car-makers out of business.
Jackson-made cars in the museum are models of the Argo, Briscoe, Buick, Cartercar, Cutting, Earl, Fuller, Imperial, Jaxon, Jackson, Kaiser Darrin, Marion Handley, and Steel Swallow. Five are the only examples known to exist.
"I feel we have one of the rarest collections in America, because of the one-and-only cars," Lloyd Ganton said.
The museum also has large collections Sparton radios, pedal cars, gasoline signs and pumps, toys, local memorabilia and more.
Coca-Cola memorabilia fills one room furnished with contents of a real 1915 soda shop from Clinton County.
A working 1950s kitchen, heavy on the color yellow, is a display that's used during parties and events.
"I decided if we were going to have a kitchen, it should be in keeping with the museum," Judi Ganton said. "It's my mother's kitchen."
After decades of celebrating the past, the owners also have considered the future. I was rude enough to raise an indelicate but important question.
"What happens to all this after your lifetimes?" I asked.
The Gantons said they have created a foundation to carry on under certain ground rules.
"If they ever dissolve the museum, it (the proceeds) will go to nonprofits, to charity," Judi Ganton said.
In true under-the-radar style, the museum's 25th anniversary at its present home arrives without fuss or fanfare.
"We should have a party," Lloyd Ganton said.
Michigan's hidden treasure deserves that much recognition, and more.

Gao, Simon S and Handley-Schachler, Morrison (2003) The influences of Confucianism, Feng Shui and Buddhism in Chinese accounting history. Accounting, Business & Financial History, 13 (1). pp. 41-68. ISSN 2155-2851Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
This paper attempts to examine the influences of Confucianism, Feng Shui and Buddhism on the evolution of Chinese accounting before recent accounting reforms commencing in the 1980s. Chinese cultural variables (e.g. Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, etc.) have been widely utilized in studying Chinese accounting systems, the accounting profession and the evolution of Chinese accounting techniques. However, the literature has not taken into account the traditional Chinese Feng Shui belief, which was broadly considered as the most important part of Chinese traditional culture. There is much evidence to show that Chinese accounting development was not only influenced by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, but also by the prevalence of Feng Shui belief in ancient China over thousands of years. This paper first discusses the concepts of culture and describes Confucianism, Feng Shui and Buddhism in China, and then examines the influences of Confucianism, Feng Shui and Buddhism on the evolution of Chinese accounting. The influences discussed are those on bookkeeping methods, accounting information, accounting profession/accountants, regulating and standardizing accounting practice, government accounting and private-sector accounting respectively. This paper also identifies some areas for future research in Chinese accounting history and culture.

Motorola DROID RAZR/MAXX On Jelly Bean Rooted
Many were afraid that they would not be able to root after their Motorola DROID RAZR or RAZR MAXX received the Jelly Bean update. Indeed, it was locked down to current exploits. People even set up a $450 bounty to get the thing rooted. Luckily, a man named Dan Rosenberg came through and rooted it. And it isn't just a root method, but it's a dead easy one. You'll need to run one .bat from your computer to root the thing, it doesn't get much easier than that. If you're interested in seeing the procedure, hit the source link.

SMURF: Genomic Mapping of Fungal Secondary Metabolite Clusters
Fungal Genet Biol. 2010 Jun 05; 47(9): 736-41.
Fungi produce an impressive array of secondary metabolites (SMs) including mycotoxins, antibiotics and pharmaceuticals. The genes responsible for their biosynthesis, export, and transcriptional regulation are often found in contiguous gene clusters. To facilitate annotation of these clusters in sequenced fungal genomes, we developed the web-based software SMURF (www.jcvi.org/smurf/) to systematically predict clustered SM genes based on their genomic context and domain content. We applied SMURF to catalog putative clusters in 27 publicly available fungal genomes. Comparison with genetically characterized clusters from six fungal species showed that SMURF accurately recovered all clusters and detected additional potential clusters. Subsequent comparative analysis revealed the striking biosynthetic capacity and variability of the fungal SM pathways and the correlation between unicellularity and the absence of SMs. Further genetics studies are needed to experimentally confirm these clusters.

The end of the year is an ideal time to clear out your clutter for several reasons. Many jobs offer extra time off during December so that everyone can enjoy the holidays with family. You've probably been putting off the deep cleaning until you have more time, right? The extra time you are given in late December is perfect for clearing out all of that stuff you've been meaning to get rid of. The weather at the end of the year also cooperates with cleaning out the house. It is usually cold and rainy, so you are stuck inside anyway. You can make a game out of clearing each room one day at a time while you are waiting for the weather to get better.
Christmas is a time of giving, but it is also a time of receiving. When you get all those new goodies from your friends and family, you will want to clear out some room for it all. What better way to make room for the new than to get rid of the old?
Natural Sales Cycles
Unfortunately, you are not alone in clearing away your clutter during the end of the year. Since everyone else is also sorting through their belongings and choosing what to sell and what to keep, there is generally an overload of sales items on auction sites. Even retail stores are marking down overstock items and selling them cheap so that they can make room for the new stock that comes in at the beginning of the year. January is one of the worst times to sell anything because everyone is selling and shoppers are looking for steals rather than deals.
Many people spend the months leading up to December shopping for holiday gifts and are tired of it by the time January arrives. They also have plenty of new stuff to play with so they are not looking for anything new. If you want to make the most from your resale items, you need to pay attention to the market cycles. Try to sell your things when the demand is the highest. The overloaded sales market on eBay during January drives prices down low, which is doesn't make sense when you're trying to save money.
Store Stuff for Later Sales
It may sound counterproductive to collect all of the things that you don't want to keep and then store them for a few months before you get rid of them, but it is the best way to earn the highest profit from your sales. Storing your clutter in a central location in a closet or garage is still going to feel more organized than allowing the clutter to continue to pile up in your house. The process of cleaning and sorting your items will give you a good idea of what you have that is worth selling and what you just need to get rid of.
Box up the good stuff and put it neatly in a back corner out of the way for a few months. It may help to make a list of what you put away so that you can find it easily once the market is right. Pack the items in plastic bins or bags so that they will not be damaged by weather or dust. If possible, try to put things that would sell better later in the year on the bottom and things that you will sell earlier in the year near the top. Consider taking photos now and storing them on your computer until auction time. It's one less thing to do when you're ready to sell.
Follow the Seasons for the Best Profits
Demand changes as the months pass. Sell pool toys or portable fans late spring or early summer when everyone is thinking of outside activities. Sales begin to peak in September as kids go back to school and the holidays approach. Start with last year's Halloween costume in mid-October. Build towards Thanksgiving, then towards Christmas. By mid December or so, you will have sold just about anything that will sell and you'll be ready for next year with your newly emptied storage space knowing you squeezed just a bit more money out of last year.

The announcement by Marine Atlantic of not having a summer schedule this year affects many different levels, and the tourism industry is just one.
latest news
With no summer schedule in place, travelers with reservations previously booked were told the difference in the new schedule would be no more than 6 hours for most, but it has become apparent that the difference to some travelers has become days.
Lynn Sawford owns RoseSea Guesthouse, a bed and breakfast in Rose Blanche.
She has already felt the effects of the change in scheduling by Marine Atlantic and predicts to see more loss to her business because of it.
Sawford said she had a reservation for four rooms for five days, but because of the difference made to the people's reservations, they had decided to not visit with her.
"I can't say for sure what happened with their reservation, but they mentioned only having so much vacation time," said Sawford.
She also said there was another booking she had that was cancelled due to timing issues as well.
The booking included a stay at her bed and breakfast, and then travel across the island, but with the change in reservations, the travelers opted to not stay in Rose Blanche and to head across the island.
Sawford is now looking at Marine Atlantic as being not good corporate citizens, and said the company's last minute decision to not have a summer schedule is going to affect a lot of businesses on the southwest coast.
The bottom line for her is a drop in customers in a very short period of time.
"I have invested in the tourism industry, and rely on it," said Sawford.
Codroy Valley Cottage Country owner Claudelle Devoe agrees with Sawford, and said her business felt the effects immediately.
"The very next day we received two cancellations and our customers were very furious that they had to cancel and change all their travel plans without any notice," she said.
She said that travelers are more used to weather related delays, and although they understand those delays, they still show up very tired and hungry late in the evening.
Devoe does not understand how Marine Atlantic expects to accommodate passengers within a 6-hour period, and said the change does not provide a traveler with any flexibility.
"They will simply decide to either cancel their trip or book a flight," said Devoe. "That means we can expect to see a lot less visitors in our area."
She said her fear is that Marine Atlantic's decision will affect all businesses on the southwest coast.
"It is not acceptable by our residents. The ferry service is our only ground transportation route to the mainland," said Devoe.
Back in Rose Blanche, Sawford said the situation of being an island requires everyone to row together.
"Right now it seems as though they are only rowing with one oar, and into their pockets," she said.

Investigators are using dogs to search for a missing 15-year-old Iowa girl in hog confinement buildings linked to the man suspected of kidnapping her.
Special agent Bill Kietzman of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said Tuesday that 20 law enforcement officials with dogs were searching for Kathlynn Shepard at hog lots where Michael Klunder worked.
Kietzman said many of the areas have already been searched multiple times, but that investigators were using "different dogs to see if we have any luck."
Police say Klunder abducted Kathlynn and a 12-year-old friend last week while they were walking home from school in Dayton. The 12-year-old escaped at a hog confinement where Shepard took them, but Kathlynn has been missing. Police say Klunder committed suicide hours after the abduction.

Marcus Allen, a 6-3, 190-pound junior free safety prospect from Wise high school (Upper Marlboro, Md.), received an offer from the Scarlet Knights, earlier today.
"I was in class and my coach texted me saying that Coach Wrobo (Damian Wrolewski) told him Rutgers had offered me," Allen said. "I was so excited."
Allen and Wroblewski have developed a tight bond, over the past several months as the tandem communicate via Facebook.
"We have a good relationship," said Allen. "I always write him on Facebook, that's how we communicate. And when he visits my school, he goes through my coach to (communicate) with me."
Allen holds offers from Duke, Maryland, Old Dominion and Pitt, as well. However, he has coveted an offer from Rutgers for a long time now.
"I'm really happy that Rutgers offered me because I always wanted to look into Rutgers and see their facilities," he said. "So I'm going to visit there really soon. They invited me up for a basketball game, and they want me to come to their junior day. When I get there, I want to look at their football field and see how the education is up there."
Rutgers is recruiting Allen at the free safety position due to his range and ability to track the football through the air. But he is known in most recruiting circles for his ability to lay the big hit.

Chavez supported FARC, the violent left wing terrorist group in Columbia that has incited the new war in South America, who is trying to acquire nuclear material, is counting on an Obama win. Terrorists across the globe want their man to win. Obama is the choice of America's worst enemies
CAPTURED FARC COMPUTERS NAME BARACK OBAMA! Gateway Pundit hat tip larwyn
Captured FARC computers name Obama
The computers captured this past weekend by Colombian soldiers at the campsite of FARC #2 Raul Reyes contained loads of damning information on FARC sympathizers and allies.
FARC Leader Raul Reyes was killed this weekend by Colombian forces. (LePoint)
The Colombians captured two FARC terrorist laptop computers at the terrorist camp. The Colombians discovered a treasure trove of information on the laptops including:
-- FARC connections with Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa
-- Records of $300 million offerings from Hugo Chavez
-- Thank you notes from Hugo Chavez dating back to 1992
-- Uranium purchasing records
-- Directions on how to make a Dirty Bomb
But, no one expected this---
The FARC Terrorists were hoping and expecting that Barack Obama would win the US elections in November because he was most aligned with the Colombian Marxist group.
This document was posted at Martha Colmenares (in Spanish) and Free Republic:
"6. Los gringos pedirán cita con el ministro para solicitarle nos comunicara su interés en conversar estos temas. Dicen que el nuevo presidente de su país será Obama y que ellos están interesados en sus compatriotas. Obama no apoyara Plan Colombia ni firma de TLC. Aquí respondimos que nos interesan las relaciones con todos los gobiernos en igualdad de condiciones y que en el caso de Estados Unidos se requiere in pronunciamiento público expresando su interés en conversar con las Farc dada su eterna guerra con nosotros.
Es todo, Abrazos, Raúl."
6. The gringos will ask for an appointment with the minister to solicit him to communicate to us his interest in discussing these topics. They say that the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support "Plan Colombia" nor will he sign the TLC (Colombian Free Trade agreement). Here we responded that we are interested in relations with all governments in equality of conditions and that in the case of the US it is required a public pronouncement expressing their interest in talking with the FARC given their eternal war against us.Hat Tip BG
You've got to hand it to dead FARC terrorists...
Their analysis of Barack Obama is spot on.

When you don't know my friend, you just don't know.
How can I explain to a friend that I am not a better writer than him because of my superior writing skills, but simply because I tried and he did not, regardless of my ability to write. As the world would have it, if you are published than you get to be taken as a good writer, whereas almost all published writers will agree that their writing is not 'the best' per se, they just try harder at being a writer than most people.
And that is why you can't make the world a better place.
No matter what you think of the world and how it can be made better, no matter how long a discussion you've had with your cousins sitting in the comfort of your couches and no matter how clever and grand you know your idea is, you will not change the world because you, like so many good writers who have never written more than their names, just have not tried.
If you are not bold enough to actually act out on your ideas, to do what you think rather be done, then what is the difference between you and everyone or everything that you disapprove of or straight-out despise?
Remember, always, always, remember: the world belongs not to the smart but to the bold. It surely does not hurt if you prefer smart work over hard work, but you are not going anywhere fast if you do not act.

The PSAL B championship match was there for the taking, but No. 4 Curtis HS fell short on Thursday.
"We played the best tennis we have all season long," said CHS coach Lori Grunsfeld after the Warriors' doubles teams lost in third-set tiebreakers and 4-1 to top-seeded Eleanor Roosevelt at the Billie Jean National Tennis Center, Queens.
Monique Carlson rolled in her first-singles match, but No. 2 Stephanie Chin lost her last high school match in three sets.
Trailing 2-1, Curtis' pairs each won opening sets only to lose the second sets. Due to a time restriction, the deciding set was a super tiebreaker in which the Warriors could not pull out.
"We had a good season, watch out for us next year," added Grunsfeld.
SINGLES: Monique Carlson (C) def. Noa Haninovich, 6-0, 6-1; Melissa Altman (ER) def. Stephanie Chin, 6-3, 0-6, 6-4; Caley Watnick (ER) def. Christina Turley, 6-0, 6-0.
DOUBLES: Kate Wagner and Adeline Jadot (ER) def. Cleo Austein and Edra Stafaj, 5-7, 7-5, 10-5; Ava Lambert and Rebecca Klapper (ER) def. Alana Hamm and Chynna Lake, 3-6, 6-4, 10-8.

10 Minutes with an Entrepreneur: Fiona Kotur
The Hong Kong expat and designer, here wearing Tory's Vanessa jacket, talks about her new shoe launch and how to start a business out on the right foot.
A Kotur shoe is all about…
Having fun but meaning business.
The inspirations behind this collection…
The gypset and exotic climbs! The hanging gardens of Babylon and traditional Turkish slippers both played a part in the conception of this debut collection.
The very first shoe I fell in love with…
A completely beautiful pair of Robert Clergerie pumps while I was still a student. I saved up for them for months and wore them for years.
Go with the fantasy. It's almost impossible to overdo a shoe.
If I could walk in somebody else's shoes for a day…
Diana Vreeland's. They would be fabulous shoes, we'd be going somewhere brilliantly inspiring and perhaps a little irreverent, and I'd be surrounded by the best conversation.
Most exciting part about owning your own business…
The fact that the only boundaries you come across are the ones you set yourself.
And most challenging…
Same as above!
Get going. You will never know whether it might be possible until you begin to make it happen.
And to new entrepreneurs looking to take it to the next level…
Try and establish a board — either official or unofficial — of industry experts to help you. Two minds or more at this stage are so the way forward, and you would be amazed how generous people can be with their time.

Curtis deals Jefferson first defeat
By CASEY OLSON
Sports editor
The Thomas Jefferson fastpitch team lost its first game of the season Wednesday to the Curtis Vikings. The Vikings downed the Raiders 5-3 in a freezing, windy, rainy game on Curtis home field, said coach Tara Bacher.
Curtis scored the first five runs of the game. The Vikings scored three in the bottom of the third and one each in the fourth and fifth off Jefferson starter Amanda Herrara, who allowed only two earned runs.
Jefferson tallied one run in the top of the sixth and scored twice in the seventh to tighten the final score.
Kristy Richardson continued her hot hitting with a 2-for-3 performance at the plate. Senior catcher Tawnya Guthrie had a triple and two RBIs.
The Raiders had seven hits on the day, compared to the six by Curtis. The loss drops Jefferson to 5-1 in South Puget Sound League South Division action.

Wind blows down trees, knocks out power lines
By Dennis Box-The Courier-Herald
Wild weather continued to roll through Bonney Lake and Lake Tapps region last week with a wind and rain storm knocking down trees and cutting power across the Plateau and Pierce County region.
The wind started blowing early Nov. 15 with gusts clocking more than 40 mph, according to the National Weather Service. By late morning, trees were down on Angeline Road East, Rhodes Lake Road East and a power pole went down blocking 40th Street East between 214th Avenue East and 230th Avenue East.
Trees were also reported down in the roadway or power lines on Locust Avenue East, Church Lake Road East, 120th Street East and Sumner-Tapps Highway.
Puget Sound Energy, Bonney Lake Public Works and East Pierce Fire and Rescue workers fanned out across the region to deal with the downed trees and power lines.
"At the storm's peak 135,000 customers were without power," according to Dorothy Bracken, PSE spokeswoman. "There were about 20,000 without power in Pierce County. The greatest damage was north in Whatcom County and Skagit County."
Bracken said the power company was able to restore power to most Pierce County customers during the night.

Statement by
Yvette Roubideaux, M.D., M.P.H.
Acting Director
Indian Health Service
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
The President's FY2011 Budget Request for the Indian Health Service
Committee on Indian Affairs
United States Senate
Thursday February 25, 2010
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
Good afternoon. I am Dr. Yvette Roubideaux, Director of the Indian Health Service. I am accompanied today by Mr. Randy Grinnell, Deputy Director. I am pleased to have the opportunity to testify on the President's FY 2011 budget request for the Indian Health Service (IHS).
While the President's FY 2011 budget for the entire federal government reflects the need to address fiscal discipline and federal debt reduction, the IHS budget request reflects and continues President Obama's promise to honor treaty commitments made by the United States. In addition, the FY 2011 budget request reflects Secretary Sebelius' priority to improve the IHS, and represents the largest annual percent increase in discretionary budget authority, compared to other operating divisions within the Department of Health and Human Services.
The FY 2011 President's budget request in discretionary budget authority for the IHS is over $4.4 billion, an increase of $354 million, or 8.7 percent, over the final enacted FY 2010 Appropriation funding level. The request includes $175.6 million in increases for pay costs, inflation and population growth that will cover the rising costs of providing health care to maintain the current level of services provided in IHS, Tribal, and urban Indian programs. This amount also includes $38.8 million to staff and operate newly constructed health facilities, including some facilities completely constructed by Tribes as Joint Venture projects.
The proposed budget also includes a $178.5 million increase for a number of programs and initiatives that will increase access to care, and strengthen the capacity of the Indian health system to provide clinical and preventive care, and will help address longstanding unmet needs and inequities in funding levels within the Indian health system. The budget request includes $44 million for the Indian Health Care Improvement Fund and will allow some of our lowest funded hospitals and health centers to expand health care services and reduce backlogs for primary care. The budget request also includes a $46 million increase, in addition to a $37.4 million increases for pay, population growth, and inflation, for the Contract Health Services program, of which an additional $5 million will be targeted to the Catastrophic Health Emergency Fund (CHEF), for a total funding level of $53 million for the CHEF. An additional $40 million are also included to fund the shortfall in Contract Support Costs (CSC) on top of increases for inflation for Tribes that have assumed the management of health programs previously managed by the Federal government, bringing the total increase for CSC to $45.8 million from the FY 2010 enacted level. These increases represent some of the highest priorities for Tribes in the past several years.
For the Facilities appropriation, the overall request is $445.2 million, which is an increase of $55.5 million over the FY 2010 funding level. Within this increase, the total Health Care Facilities Construction budget is $66.2 million, which will allow for construction to continue on the replacement hospital in Barrow, Alaska, the San Carlos Health Center in Arizona, and the Kayenta Health Center on the Navajo Reservation.
In addition to reflecting the President and Secretary's commitment to improve the quality of and access to care for American Indians and Alaska Natives served by the IHS, this budget will also help continue progress on my priorities for how we are changing and improving the IHS. My priorities are to renew and strengthen our partnership with Tribes; in the context of national health insurance reform, to bring reform to IHS; to improve the quality of and access to care; and to make all our work accountable, transparent, fair and inclusive.
This budget renews and strengthens our partnership with Tribes by aligning the Agency's budget increases to reflect Tribal priorities. I have carefully listened to Tribal input over the past nine months, and their priorities include more funding for IHS in general, as well as funding increases for current services, the Indian Health Care Improvement Fund, Contract Health Services, and Contract Support Costs. Therefore, this budget request includes its greatest increases in these areas. In addition, this budget helps to improve the quality of and access to care and addresses top Tribal priorities such as chronic disease and behavioral health conditions.
This budget helps us continue our work to bring reform to the IHS. Over the past nine months, I have gathered extensive input from Tribes and our staff on priorities for how to change and improve the IHS. Tribal priorities for reform focus on broad issues such as the need for more funding, the distribution of resources, and improving how we consult with Tribes. Staff priorities focused on how we do business and how we lead and manage people. Their input reinforced the need for change and improvement in the IHS and for us to focus more on how we conduct the business of health care. We are working on improvements in the hiring process, recruitment and retention, performance management, and more effective financial management and accountability. We have also made significant progress in developing an effective and accountable property management system. We are also working to enhance and make more secure our information technology systems to ensure the protection of patient care information and to improve our administrative operations. All of these reforms are being conducted as we make all our work more transparent, accountable, fair and inclusive.
The FY 2011 budget proposal will provide resources to help the IHS further meet its mission. The IHS provides high quality, comprehensive primary care and public health services through a system of IHS, Tribal, and Urban operated facilities and programs based on treaties, judicial determinations, and acts of Congress. This Indian health system provides services to nearly 1.9 million American Indians and Alaska Natives through hospitals, health centers, and clinics located in 35 states, often representing the only source of health care for many American Indian and Alaska Native individuals, especially for those who live in the most remote and poverty stricken areas of the United States. The purchase of health care from private providers is also an integral component of the health system for services unavailable in IHS and Tribal facilities or, in some cases, in lieu of IHS or Tribal health care programs. In addition, unlike many other health delivery systems, the IHS is involved in the construction of health facilities, including the construction of quarters necessary for recruitment and retention of health care providers, as well as being involved in the construction of water and sewer systems for Indian communities. I know of no other health care organization that accomplishes such a wide array of patient care, public and community services within a single system.
For several years since its inception in 1955 the IHS made significant strides in reducing early and preventable deaths from infectious or communicable diseases. However, deaths due to chronic diseases and behavioral health conditions have been more challenging to address since they result primarily from lifestyle choices and individual behaviors. In light of these challenges, there have been some recent accomplishments to note. For example, in FY 2009, the proportion of eligible patients who had appropriate colorectal cancer screening was 33 percent, an increase of four percentage points above the FY 2008 rate of 29 percent. Colorectal cancers are the third most common cancer in the United States, and are the third leading cause of cancer deaths. Colorectal cancer rates among the Alaska Native population are well above the national average and rates among American Indians are rising. Improving timely detection and treatment of colorectal cancer screening will reduce undue morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. In FY 2009, the proportion of women who are screened for domestic violence (DV) was 48 percent, an increase of 6 percentage points above the FY 2008 rate of 42 percent. Screening has a significant impact because it helps identify women at risk for DV and refers these individuals for services aimed at reducing the prevalence and impact of domestic violence. The IHS achieved another notable accomplishment by exceeding the FY 2009 target for breastfeeding rates. The target was to maintain the proportion of infants 2 months old (45-89 days old) that are exclusively or mostly breastfed at the FY 2008 baseline result of 28 percent. The FY 2009 result was 33 percent and exceeded the target. There is evidence that breastfeeding contributes to lower rates of infectious disease, asthma, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and is associated with lower childhood obesity rates.
These results were achieved by our predominantly rural, highly decentralized federal, Tribal, and urban Indian health system, a system that provides health care services under a variety of challenges. With the budget proposed for FY 2011, as was the case with significant increases provided for in the FY 2010 budget, we anticipate seeing a positive impact in the daily lives of American Indian and Alaska Native people and progress towards improving the health status of the communities we serve.
In closing, the President's FY 2011 budget request for the IHS is an investment and a commitment that will result in healthier American Indian and Alaska Native communities and will advance the IHS mission to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level.
Thank you for this opportunity to present the President's FY 2011 budget request for the Indian Health Service.

Course of studies
Duration of study (semesters)4
Description of course of studiesThe choice of courses from one specific course catalogue guarantees flexibility in designing the course of study, as well as an individual, target-oriented education tailored to the challenging careers that students plan to pursue. Students can decide whether they will specialize in one of the traditional disciplines – aerodynamics, lightweight structures, flight system dynamics, flight propulsion, automatic control, airplane design or astronautics – or whether they will pursue a broad area of general knowledge. The well-grounded course of study is not just useful for employment in the aerospace industry, but it also qualifies students for work in many other branches, such as automotive engineering or IT. The international environment of Aerospace Engineering plays out on all levels of daily work, and it requires particular flexibility and creativity. Preparing for these challenges forms a significant part of the modern Master's course of study. Exchange programs give students the opportunity to spend a semester at a foreign university and adapt to the educational system and social life of another place. The technical and social skills acquired by graduates of this course of study are an outstanding preparation for a successful career in the aerospace industry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by totrod Easy to use Having my last child 17 years ago, I am "out of the loop" on baby items. I had a pack n play when my kids were infants and figured I would go back with what I had success with many years ago. Although I am a few years older and weaker, this is still as easy to set up and collapse as I remember. It is made of soft material that still feels sturdy and safe for baby. It is lighter weight and easy to move around once set up as well. October 7, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by mrskristireaves Easy Set-Up & Convenient I got this product to use in lieu of a crib for the first few months of having our baby. It was simple to put together and its portability is convenient. Just what we needed! August 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by BRBI Perfect size! I love that I can travel with this PN'P, its doesn't take up a lot of room & does the job! July 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by babs2wood Life Saver! When I finally got up enough nerve to set my baby down long enough to run to the kitchen, etc., this became a life saver! The bassinet feature allowed me to set her down and know she was safe. It also became my go-to diaper changing station since running up and down stairs was not always the most convenient. Now that she's bigger, we move it all over the house so she can safely play while we cook dinner or get ready in the morning. We have also traveled with it, and she sleeps great in it! We are in the process of selling our house and building a new one, so we will be buying a larger mattress/cover/sheet while this serves as her interim crib between homes. June 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by BMerry1 Glad I have it! I've had our pack n play for 3 out of my 4 children. I never realized how much I was missing out on by not having this for our first born. It is so slick to use! The set up and take down are so quick and easy. It cleans up very well and is durable. I have not been disappointed with this purchase at all. I would recommend this product to anyone whether for inside or outside use, it is a fantastic, easy to set up or store, and effective product for infants to young toddler to use. June 13, 2016

One of the business stories of the week has, ironically, been a story about a non-story. Namely, the sorry tale of how a team of 13 so-called marketing specialists took 45 days to conceive, plan and publish a single bland corporate tweet for Président Cheese, the French dairy brand.
Those who did not see the episode unfurl on Twitter probably require an elaboration. Basically, Business Insider, which describes itself rather torturedly as "a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals", sent a reporter to spend some time with Huge Inc, a digital design and advertising

Charlie A'Court will perform in Lockeport at the Crescent Beach Centre.
Nova Scotia's blues ambassador Charlie A'Court will perform in Lockeport on Friday, Feb. 14 as part of the Bringin' It Home series in partnership with Music Nova Scotia.
Named as Nova Scotia's top entertainer at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia Awards in November, A'Court will bring his musical chops to the Crescent Beach Centre in Lockeport for an 8 p.m. show. He offers impassioned performances that has attracted fans internationally with gutsy vocals and his colourful yet solid guitar playing.
Winner of the East Coast Music Awards 2007 Pop Recording of the Year and 2007 Music Nova Scotia Blues Recording of the Year for his album Bring On The Storm and 2003 Best Blues Artist for his debut album Color Me Gone, A'Court is an emotionally charged and soul moving performer.
Further establishing his reputation as an entertainer, A'Court has released his first live, solo recording. "Live At The Marigold" is an intimate look into the heart of this soulful troubadour and was recorded at the Marigold Cultural Centre in Truro, Nova Scotia.

The new release was nominated for Best Blues Artist/Group Recording, Best Male Artist Recording at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia Awards.
He has toured extensively throughout Canada and abroad with headlining performances at the Stan Rogers' Folk Fest, Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, Kerrville Folk Fest, and Ottawa Blues Fest.

ESCANABA - Homeland security programs throughout the Upper Peninsula are sharing a $1.2 million federal grant to upgrade emergency response capabilities, including communication systems.
"Every county gets a piece of the pie," said Bob Berbohm, Delta County emergency management coordinator.
The Homeland Security grant was a joint application for the region, which includes all 15 counties in the Upper Peninsula, he explained.
In Delta County, grant monies will be used to replace radio equipment so emergency personnel - including police, fire and medical personnel - meet new requirements from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), said Berbohm.
The FCC is mandating emergency radio systems, like the county's VHF equipment, be changed to a narrow-bandable frequency system, he explained.
With the cooperation of the state, Delta County is hoping to meet the FCC's Jan. 1, 2013, deadline by the end of 2011, which would be a year ahead of time, he said. Counties that do not meet the FCC deadline will be assessed huge fines, he added.
Delta County Homeland Security is looking to put 57 mobile radios and 126 portable radios in operation with the grant money allocated locally, Berbohm said. Through a previous Homeland Security grant, 176 pagers were purchased for firefighters, he noted.
In addition to the new radios, the Delta County agency is also looking to spend its share of the current grant on upgrading "Grab and Go" emergency response bags that all schools in the county have in classrooms, said Berbohm.
The bags were distributed to area schools beginning several years ago with the support of the Delta County Intermediate School District which encourages safe schools, he explained. The bags contain safety equipment for use in various emergencies.
The county's recent Homeland Security funds will also be used for other projects including ballistic shields for law enforcement, added Berbohm.

What better way to bring in December than a day of free art and culture events in Jersey City?
JC Fridays is back with art, music, dance and other events citywide. This Friday, art enthusiasts can find attractions in several neighborhoods like Bergen/Lafayette, Greenville, Journal Square, McGinley Square, Grove Street, Hamilton Park, downtown Newark Avenue, Newport, Paulus Hook, the Powerhouse Arts District and Van Vorst Park.
As always, JC Fridays revelers are in for a treat. They can enjoy Happy Hour specials at Boca Grande, 564 Washington St. and get 10% off all clothing at vintage store Another Man's Treasure, 353 Grove St. With a dinner receipt from JC Fridays, they can also continue the festivities on Saturday with a free round of sangria at Bar Majestic, 275 Grove St.
Some of the highlights include a screening of "Gasland," an anti-pipeline film by Oscar-nominated and Sundance Festival award winner Josh Fox as he uncovers hydro-fracking secrets, lies and contamination. The film, which should strike a chord with residents opposed to the proposed Spectra Energy gas pipeline which will run
through Jersey City, Bayonne and Hoboken, will screen at City Hall, 280 Grove St.
The Museum of Russian Art, 80 Grand St, will present "Cities of Dirt and Gold" by artist Elena Ab, whose work is influenced by her travels to Italy, Greece, France, Spain and Japan. On a relate note, local Russian-born arts hero Grigory Gurevich and his son Alexander will show small, giftable works of art at 282 Barrow St.
JC Fridays will also feature several group shows, including the Jersey City Art School's "Open for Business" workshop which pairs artists with people who need portraiture, poster design, T-shirt design and more at 313 Third St.,; _gaia's "Dynasty December" exhibit and performance gala at 315 Third St.,; and the Hudson Pride Community Center's Gallery 32's "Becoming Who We Are" photo and video exhibit at 32 Jones St.
